They actually have a base and a lab next to the nuclear facility... Right about here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate pointed it onto the paper, she had already drawn a detailed map of a base on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the left was just a square box with an unknown interior of the nuclear facility itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, we're going to put me in a coffin, then have you carry me inside until we reach the director of the base?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. At least, that's the plan I have... Do you have any other plans?\" Kate asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staring at the map for a bit, Xiaoyun strongly opposed her idea. The concept of rendering himself useless was too risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about we just use an invisible cloak inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have thermal cameras that can detect it. Trust me, there's no other way around it unless you want to brute force it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked at the map again, there were remote turrets in almost every hallway of the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With hundreds of security guards all around the various doors, it was practically impossible for him to brute-force it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure your parents are in here? Not in some other bases in the country or outside of the country?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sure of it. I had met them a year ago in there. They don't have as much resources compared to before the outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, most of them are scared of going outside. Even those security guards have rejected the scientist's demand to collect samples outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh... Fine, I'll go with your plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great. Then all we have to do is to wait for tomorrow... Let's go to sleep. I'm going to go take a shower first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate got up from her seat, Xiaoyun quickly got up from his seat as well before following her to the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't take a shower. I need you to stay as dirty as possible to stay realistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun watched Kate head over to the bathroom as he looked down at his blood-soaked clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started to smell, and despite his nose having gotten used to it a few minutes earlier, it made him want to puke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, can you just hand me a jug of water? I forgot there's no running water here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate suddenly asked as she peeked her head out around the bathroom door, looking at Xiaoyun, who was just sitting on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handing her the jug of water, Xiaoyun went back to bed and created a sleeping bag on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over at the clock, it was only nine, much earlier than when he usually slept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with nothing much to do, he took off his clothes before getting inside the sleeping bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his eyes closed, he couldn't fall asleep as expected. Still, he kept his eyes closed as he relaxed his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you asleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft voice made him open his eyes again. His mind is a little sleepy as he sits up from the sleeping bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun asked as he looked over to the bed, only to see Kate lying right on the edge of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I just want to say thank you.\" Kate shyly whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to lie back down on the bed, she suddenly spoke up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, do you want to know about a story?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was once a little girl raised in the big city of New York. Her mom was from France, and her dad was from Russia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her existence was a disappointment to her family, as both sides of the grandparents wanted a boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few years later, her brother was born. Everyone's attention in the family was focused on her little brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they grew up together, everything she owned was second-handed, all given by her other cousin, who had grown out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, her brother got everything he ever wanted. He could walk up and ask for a new phone, and they would instantly buy it for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite all the attention towards her brother, she didn't envy or feel jealous a single bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she loved her brother like everyone else in the family, taking care of him and bringing him out to play in the playground together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as they grew older, they started to move apart from each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl eventually became an adult, enrolled in a prestigious Ivy League college, the same as her parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was at first interested in mechanical engineering, but her parent eventually swayed her into business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason was to act as a \"guide\" for her brother, who will also be enrolling in business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's when she realized her life was pointless. She was just an extra insurance in case his brother got into an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she couldn't bring herself to hate her brother, who had only been kind to her, even willing to redirect some of the family's attention towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to graduate, she decided to attend a college party to rebel against her parents' wishes for once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at the party, there was a sophomore whose family was extremely influential to the entire country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the sophomore falls in love with the girl, even though they had only seen each other once beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soon started chasing after the girl, using various ways to ask her to give him a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the girl was just not interested. She was just about to graduate and wasn't interested in dating anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the ignoring soon backfires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of gang members approached her one day, kidnapping her in broad daylight on the college campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the gang made a phone call to her parents and demanded millions of dollars, they surprisingly handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the money being handed over, she wasn't freed. Instead, she was sent to the person who had been constantly asking her for a date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He once again asked for a date, but she refused. Even as he repeated it in a demanding tone, she still refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to use force to take what he wanted, an FBI raid suddenly popped through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was saved. But more importantly, her life has changed forever ever since then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduation, she applied for the government application to become an FBI agent, much to her parent's disapproval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone's surprise, she was accepted. Unfortunately, she was put on backend jobs with mundane tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she thought her life was going to be an uneventful repetition, her colleague noticed a cold kidnapping case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided to dig deeper into it herself, wanting to prove that she could indeed become a big shot in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she soon realized the cold case wasn't cold because there was no evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, the higher-ups were suppressing it on purpose... That's when she made her biggest mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This girl is you?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as Kate took a short pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe... Okay, it's me. But you had better not tell anyone about this. I kept this a secret from everyone for a reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun nodded, waiting for her to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate quickly found out the culprit behind the kidnap case and started gathering evidence herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she presented the evidence to her superior, she was met with applause and a promotion away from the desk jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could celebrate, her desk had received a letter the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a secret demand from a mysterious figure, with photos of her family and even bombs in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately returned home and looked for the picture's location, only to find the exact bomb shown in the picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite rolling back footage, there was no trace of anyone entering the house, let alone a bomb being sneaked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She called the bomb defused to remove the bomb, reporting the letter and the whole event to her superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reassured her that she was now being protected. However, a week later, she received another letter with the bomb inside her closet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it demanded that she act as a spy. With no other choice, she decided to accept the demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her surprise, after the acceptance, they barely interact with her at all. She only occasionally got requests to ignore a few minor cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she skyrocketed in career, eventually becoming a team leader and leading an elite team of agents to tackle domestic cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everything changed when her team was assigned a mission to fly four people to Africa using a redirected flight in Guangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>",1521,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","eaa3589930a9c9ea556b1f5b166333872a0fc906ce9339587db5362be8a17188","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-496","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-494",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
