We are planning to attack it tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman suddenly yelled out just as Xiaoyun was about to leave with his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe in another day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun walked to the exit, he noticed one person was missing—the exact person he had been trying to save the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yezi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know this is selfish... But I'm going to join their attack. You can go back to Luoping with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yezi standing firm, Xiaoyun let out a sigh as he stopped right at the exit again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For fuck sake... You two, go call the rest of the soldiers downstairs to come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the two soldiers heading downstairs, the women looked a little surprised, seeing everything unfolding before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. I'm willing to work with you to attack that casino ring... You should thank my friend's stubborn ass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women could tell Xiaoyun looked a little annoyed, but she still bowed down slightly in gratitude to both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for changing your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before we can continue further, what is your plan?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll go through the main entrance and go up the stairs. With these rifles, we can easily overwhelm them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This sounds like a suicide plan... they have guns of their own,\" Xiaoyun commented after listening to the entire plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We know, but we are not afraid to die for it.\" The crowd of people behind the women yelled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, but do any of you even know how to use a gun?\" Xiaoyun questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman looked back at her men, who held the rifle in hand, and all shook their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this: You guys give us the gun back, and we will go in ourselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All you need to do is assist us, and I'll take care of the problem,\" Xiaoyun suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how can we trust you?\" The woman didn't reject the proposal outright, but she wasn't going just to hand it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Xiaoyun could reply, the rest of the soldiers, alongside Yueyue, finally arrived at the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With these.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xiaoyun pointed at the soldiers behind him, all of them pointed their rifles at her men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait, what are you doing?\" The woman nervously asked as her men quickly raised their rifles back at the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your guys don't even know you have to turn off the safety. Why do you think your men are equipped to use a rifle? \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xiaoyun pointing it out, all of them checked their rifle only to realize he was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately turned it off, but their face was blushing red from embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you sure you want to hold onto those rifles? It takes a long time to train someone how to use a gun.\" Xiaoyun advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, the woman accepted Xiaoyun's advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, you guys can have your gun back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the woman signaling her group to give the gun back, none of them made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Miss Li... Are you sure we can trust them?\" One of the men asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just give it back... They could have shot us all dead right there. He's right. We don't know how to use it.\" Miss Li repeated her order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men finally folded and gave the guns back to the soldier and Yezi, who still looked a little embarrassed from being unarmed by civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't have to attack through the main entrance. I know there is a back entrance to the hotel.\" Yezi suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Where is it?\" Miss Li curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's at the dark alleyway a few streets from here.\" Yezi pointed down in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's just do that instead. At least it isn't the suicidal main entrance...\" Xiaoyun decided, and Miss Li nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wuli picked some of her men to go inside Xiaoyun's bus, Yezi directed Renqin to the dark alleyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the dark alleyway that Yezi had gone to earlier. With everyone quickly getting off, Xiaoyun turned his attention to the bus driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Renqin, if there is a zombie horde coming here, you can just drive away,\" Xiaoyun ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course... I'm doing that even if you don't tell me to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes of walking later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Li's men, along with Xiaoyun's soldier, finally arrived at the gate where Yezi and Jixi fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yezi put in the key and opened the door, it was a dark, long tunnel ahead of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's going to take a while to get there,\" Yezi commented as he walked in the front, guiding everyone behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yezi, how do you know this place?\" Xiaoyun asked curiously, as he felt the place was way too specific to be known randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just an old friend's place...\" Yezi replied, not speaking up again as the tunnel fell into dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for ten minutes, they finally arrived at a ladder going up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here it is. Up there is the storage room in the main lobby. I'll go up first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yezi started climbing the ladder. Then, everyone began taking turns to go up the ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five minutes of taking turns climbing, the entire group was finally up there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked around the storage room, it was empty. No one was in it, or any item for that matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Li, can I ask how many people you have?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have to call me Miss Li. My name is Wuli. We have thirty-four people, but we only brought fifteen people with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone began to prepare to leave the storage room, Xiaoyun suddenly found the name very familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuli... why do I feel like I heard this name before?\" Xiaoyun thought to himself before turning around to face everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, everyone, please get ready. We're about to go inside the main lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers go first with their rifles. Miss Wuli and her men can follow behind.\" Xiaoyun ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a nod from everyone, Xiaoyun turned the door open, only to see the main lobby empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh. This is unexpected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone walked into the main lobby, they were surprised by how quiet it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main lobby's entrance with furniture was completely blocked off, as Yezi expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stairway was also completely blocked, and the fire exit was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left the elevator as the only way up, which surprisingly still works, as it has backup power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, we need to take the elevator. How about we go up first?\" Xiaoyun suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. We will go up next.\" Wuli agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The highest we can go is the tenth floor. We will have to check the stairway up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The casino operation is above the tenth floor,\" Yezi reminded Wuli before pressing the tenth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her nodding in agreement again, Xiaoyun and Yezi, along with three soldiers, went into the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the five arrived at the tenth floor, there were blood stains all over the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were no bodies. It was almost as if all the bodies had been thrown out the window, as not a single window was intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yezi walked up to the stairway entrance, it was finally not blocked from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's wait for them to get up first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six of them waited, and after several turns taking the elevator, all of them finally got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we get up there, open fire on anyone with a weapon,\" Xiaoyun ordered as he stood alongside the soldiers in the front to boost morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking to the eleventh floor, the first soldier opened the door only to find it dark inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curtain covered the windows completely, just like what Yezi said earlier in the planning discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All clear, sir! No sign of life here.\" One of the soldiers replied after finishing checking the entire floor by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go up to the next floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing the door, they began heading upstairs to the next floor in the same formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The next one is going to have people in it,\" Yezi warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the soldier immediately began to double-check their rifles, putting them in a more raised position for close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yueyue, you stay with Wuli, okay? You don't have a rifle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue didn't try to argue back, moving all the way back to be with Wuli with her pistol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the entrance to the 12th floor, one of the soldiers kicked the door wide open as the other ten soldiers flooded inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they react and pick up their weapon, the soldiers immediately opened fire at anyone who was reaching for a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the henchmen were instantly killed, but some were able to get away just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier rushed for cover as five of the henchmen were able to get behind a pillar and started firing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone surrender now, or all of you will be killed! We are the military sent in to catch only the boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As both sides fell into a stalemate, Xiaoyun decided to bluff to see if they would fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit! When did the military get issued with M16? That's an American rifle!\" One of them yelled back across the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why die for a boss that doesn't even care about your life? You guys only have pistols!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just surrender, and we will allow you to live! Or we are going to start throwing grenades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun yelled, avoiding answering their question as he didn't have a good reason to argue back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a minute of silence in the room, the five henchmen finally stepped out with both their hands up in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun's firepower was simply too much for them to handle, and they just couldn't see their chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers rushed up and tied them with ropes that Xiaoyun had handed out earlier from Yezi's bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better keep your promise.\" One of the henchmen yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lucky that you surrendered,\" Xiaoyun replied as the rest of the group finally entered the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many bodies...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of Wuli's men started to throw up, their minds shaken from all the henchmen's dead bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two of you guys, look over these five. We are going to the next floor. They probably heard us now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun directly ordered over Wuli's men, but nobody spoke against it as there was no time to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After assigning two people, the rest immediately headed upstairs to the next floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yezi, do you know what's on the next floor?\" Xiaoyun asked as he started to forget what had been discussed during the short planning time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I remember correctly, this one has a lot fewer people. I assume it's higher-ups like management of some sort,\" Yezi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they arrived at the 13th floor, the soldiers repeated the exact strategy, with ten of them spearheading in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to their surprise, no one was there except rows of women lying on the floor naked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, they ran up the stairs. They must have heard the gunshot.\" Xiaoyun murmured as the rest of the group walked onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, several of Wuli's men ran straight to the woman lying on the floor, looking extremely relieved to find them alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, sorry about that. They used to be their wife before getting kidnapped here.\" Wuli apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay. I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun thought back to the people he first saved, who had the same reaction when they were reunited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They might need a lot of time to heal from the trauma,\" Yueyue murmured after noticing a few of the women unresponsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, we need to continue. The next floor is the boss room.\" Yezi reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all stay here. We can do the rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn't let them have a chance to argue back as he rushed upstairs along with the rest of his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuli's men looked over to her for her order, but she repeated the same line as him after noticing Yueyue's eye signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's inside the floor after the boss room??\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their prison, then... Oh shit, I completely forgot. They have an explosive room filled with TNT.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yezi's answer, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and Xiaoyun stopped to look him in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kidding me? Why didn't you say that earlier? If they blow it up as a last resort, this whole building is gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry. I just remembered, and I'm not even sure if those crates are actually full or empty,\" Yezi apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever, let's clear the building first... We just have to make sure we don't push them over the edge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they arrived at the entrance, Xiaoyun tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, this one has a lock,\" Xiaoyun murmured as he tried to kick it open, only to hurt his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, I know how to pick up the lock.\" One of the soldiers stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few wrangling and clicks with a pick, everyone could hear a click sound coming from the lock.\u003C\u002Fp>",2195,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.432Z",1,"novelbin.me","49cf84ffdf90d7ece8f73c9d9cc8fad553aa7e3e1e6d0b4b72498e8cc5b2bce9","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-53","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-51",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
