From the tables to the floor, everything looked to be untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the footsteps in front of them, indicating that someone had entered it before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is one of the few buildings that we don't have to repair at all, and we can just move in like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into the meeting rooms, Xiaoyun froze as memories started flooding his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, really. I had already sent a few engineers to check on the building beforehand, and they told me it was fully usable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi pulled the string to raise the blinds all the way, she quickly noticed Xiaoyun standing still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to help me, or are you just going to stand there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five minutes of continuously pulling up the blinds, the two of them finally had natural lighting shining through the glass meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you zoning out so much?\" Yuqi curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I'm just having a flashback. That's all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun not wanting to explain anything further, Yuqi didn't try to ask again about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to our office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them exited the meeting room, Yuqi quickly headed back to the entrance to turn off the light before running back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now looks much better... Ahem, I'm going to need to ask for a cleaning crew to get rid of all this dust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stopping by the door before them, Xiaoyun froze once again as he stared towards the door tag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Executive office...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, as a warning. It's my office, not your office anymore. I changed a lot of things since you had left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun nodding in agreement, Yuqi finally opened the door, revealing the inside once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decorations still caught him a little off guard, as all the paintings he used to have were now gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place were a bunch of oddly looking\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did all the paintings go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the roof's storage unit. I ain't about to hang those old-fashioned looking paintings in this day and age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But those paintings are at the level of national treasures from centuries ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So? None of the co-workers I had could understand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi paused for a second, realizing she might have insulted herself and her peers for not understanding art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't hang that kind of painting when every company out there is trying to do something with tech.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still... The old man had those paintings up since he founded the company...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun looking a little down, Yuqi's heart finally couldn't endure it any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can hang them up again later if you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine... I'm just feeling nostalgic. It's your office, you can decorate it however you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them walked over to the desk, Yuqi suddenly rushed over to the file cabinet before checking the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew, thank god it wasn't opened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's inside——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuqi refusing to let him go any closer only made him more curious than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, just let me see it. It's the apocalypse already, business plans are useless anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite trying to move past Yuqi, she remained adamant, with both arms on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's my secret, okay? Can you not give me some privacy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you so stubborn in hiding it? When did we hide secrets from each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Xiaoyun tried to push her aside, but she quickly pushed him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you respect me as your wife, you would not walk any closer than this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine. You can keep your secret...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun backing down, Yuqi quickly headed over to the desk cabinet, pulling out a lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a click, the bottom part of the file cabinet was fully locked, unable to be pulled open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you're keeping your secret, I'm going to sit on this chair and relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi rolled her eyes, ignoring Xiaoyun, as she started removing stacks of papers from the various file cabinets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! I can do this myself——Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loud noise immediately made Xiaoyun jump out of his seat, only to see Yuqi on the floor holding her ankles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I twisted my ankle. Ow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun examined her ankle, he quickly noticed a red spot she was pressing onto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he gently carried her up from the floor to his arm, before putting her down onto the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you twist your ankles all of a sudden?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he gently massaged the surrounding red spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought there was a spider on the paper. I panicked and tried to run away, but my leg——ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay, just relax... I'll go clean up the paper. Don't worry about it, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuqi looking a little better, Xiaoyun quickly got out of his seat before gathering all the papers she had dropped earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering all of them into a neat stack, he quickly created a box before taking more paper out from the other file cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, almost five boxes were full, all filled up with useless business paper from the file cabinets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you so much, babe! Muah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi jumped up from her seat to kiss him on the cheek, Xiaoyun's face, for some reason, blushed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem... Are you feeling better now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi jumped back up from the sofa, she looked almost as if she had never been injured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's carry these boxes down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After transferring all the trash documents to the recycling and carrying them from their car, they finally set up their own office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of the office workers had also started coming to the top floor to set up their office area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi, do we really need the entire building?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked, his face looking towards people moving in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we do. Unless you want everyone to work in cages like the one back in Luoping...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, all the buildings are free for us anyway. We might as well use it rather than letting it go unused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess that's true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, I didn't make every single department into this building... Look, don't you see people going inside that building?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked down, he could see people carrying boxes of work to the skyscraper across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those crossing the street are going to be the new bank headquarters. Isn't it perfect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would it be perfect?\" Xiaoyun asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because that building used to be a bank itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? I don't recall it... Wasn't it a construction company?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That construction company went bankrupt a long time ago... Ahem, anyway, let's head back home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked over to the clock, it was only four in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This whole place is too dusty. I already called the janitors to clean everything first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it feel like this is a little rushed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yuqi hooked her arms around his, she quickly noticed him staring through the glass walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. Ahem. Let's go back——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I look stupid? You were staring at my secretary's body, weren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? No. I'm looking at the person across from her. Don't you think that person looked a little familiar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xiaoyun finished responding, the shadowy figure suddenly vanished from his sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi rubbed her eye and looked over at her secretary's direction, she didn't notice anyone else there at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you on about? I don't see anyone else other than her. Come on, babe, are you just lying to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly moved closer to the glass wall, squinting his eyes as hard as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop staring at her, you pervert. If this glass isn't a one-way glass, you would have been reported for sexual harassment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not joking—Ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need glasses or something... Stop looking at my secretary, you idiot! Am I not better than her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay, you're better than her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun stopped looking over at the glass wall, Yuqi finally let go of pinching his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! You know what, let's go up and see if someone is really there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi quickly opened the door, bringing Xiaoyun over to the office block as the secretary dropped her stuff onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening Miss Yuqi, Mr.Xiaoyun. Is there something I can help with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jianlin, did you see anyone walking past you earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone walking past me? I don't think so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? You're just a pervert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun was about to give up looking, he suddenly noticed a dead plant in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the plant itself had nothing special, there was no shadow despite the light shining through it from the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, what are you on about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Yuqi and the secretary looked a little confused until Xiaoyun suddenly pulled out a pistol and aimed it right at the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raise your hand and reveal yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1506,"2026-06-10T06:59:51.848Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a13e1c951a5d2062c36a024fc3b4d949f01c9ab6b2859e1f93202773ac3f1ef","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-757","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-756",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
