Partially, it was due to the trail of zombies behind their army left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the majority of them were dragged by the sheer volume of loud explosions going off within the building itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jesus, how many explosives do they have?\" Kate murmured as she felt the ground shaking a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn't comment on it, but his face started to look a little concerned. His eyes felt like he was being decieved by Zhongxiong's army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that Lingang had reported the zombie attack as occurring the previous night, Zhongxiong's army had been fighting for almost an entire day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't comprehend how an army would have enough ammo to fight for that long. Nor could he comprehend the amount of zombies that would be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to take out an binocular to have a closer look, his walkie-talkie suddenly picked up a signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen Pi, my soldiers are heading towards your direction within one minute. Where are you located in the building?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The East and North side! Come quick! My men are starting to run out of ammo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lingang ended the tranmission, Xiaoyun and Kate both turned their attention back to the city hall itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piles upon piles of body were lying outside, right along the staircase up to the entrance. From normal zombies all the way to even tank mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glass door entrance was completely shattered from the outside entry, while every window on the West side was shattered from the inside, seemingly to gunshots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the two of them couldn't see the other three sides as the other buildings covered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many of the dead bodies are in soldier's uniform,\" Kate murmured as she lowered her binocular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... They really didn't expect this attack at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked over to the right with the binocular, his eyes were hooked onto the various table and chairs on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With unfinished food on each of the tables, it was clear that Zhongxiong's army was in the middle of a celebration, just like Lingang had described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, what did you do while I was gone?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked, watching his army slowly moving forward towards the city hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um.. You went to fight alongside the soldiers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun fell into silence for a second, trying to come up with something that Kate would do with barely any weapons in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You went driving with the pickup truck? But you were already too late to join the assigned teams, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Close. But no cigars. I did drove the car around, but rather than being a bait, I actually went to the park.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Why did you go to the park out of all places?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I was just a little curious how Zhongxiong's army was doing... You gave me the invisible cloak to scout ahead, no?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... Of course I thought of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun awkwardly scratched his head a little. He had only given her the cloak because he thought she might need it if something went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, how was your limit testing, big hero?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It went okay... I felt a bit of pressure, but not enough for me to feel anything different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit? You know how many soldiers were shocked by what you were doing down there? Everyone was praising you as some insane rambo hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate's comment quickly made Xiaoyun realize how much he really stood out, standing against the zombies all alone on the streetblock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for the compliement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not a compliement you idiot. You know how worrying I was? A person firing a bullet in the wrong direction could have ended——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I say? I just have faith in my soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the confidence on Xiaoyun's face, his mind was sweating a little, as he had never even thought of it as a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, what else did you do after getting to the park?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I tried to sneak into the city hall. But there were so many zombies that I just went back into the truck and drove off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Kate finished answering, she finally decided to ask the question that had been on her mind since getting on top of the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, what are we doing here on this apartment? Are we just going to watch the army fighting the whole time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Close, but no cigar——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it. Don't copy me. It sounds weird hearing you say that.\" Kate interputed, covering his mouth before letting it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your accent is too heavy for it to sound right... I rather have you say it in Chinese.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I won't say it again... Ahem, we're here because we're going inside the city hall first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First? As in we're going to use our invisble cloak?\" Kate questioned, her voice sounding a little unconfident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. I'm just looking for a path that look relatively empty right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked around in his binoculars, he saw that every road leading to the various entrances was filled with zombies lining up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all seemingly fixated on getting the human to the city hall, even though his army had already started firing their guns as they walked down the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shouldn't we be down there?\" Kate raised her concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate didn't question back this time, waiting in silence as she turned around to secure the entrance to the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one is going to move first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmuring to himself, Xiaoyun watched as the zombies started to turn their attention to his armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The western entrance was first to be distracted, as the approaching gunshot was simply too loud for anyone to ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the endless waves of zombie flooding from both the northern and southern sides of the city hall streets still made it very difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jam-packed road was just too blocked to sneak it, almost like a sardine in a can—barely any room for even zombies to walk without trampling on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Xiaoyun quickly noticed something was a little off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the zombies flooding into the city hall were normal zombies. Not a single one of them was a mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, his mind started to have weird feelings, from how the zombies suddenly attacked Changsha to how normal zombies were used as bullet sponges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every conclusion was leading towards someone or something was behind this attack and not just zombies doing randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate, turn around. We're going to start moving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay——Hey! What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun grabbed Kate's arm, he lowered his other hand to lift her into his arms forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving, duh. You might want to close your eyes for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could ask why, Xiaoyun had already jumped off the building, entering freefall straight from a five-story apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate scream in pure panic as she swung her arms out, looking for something to grab before grabbing onto his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud stud cracking the concrete ground, Xiaoyun's feet finally landed onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What did you just do? A-Are you okay?\" Kate questioned, her brain still processing what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just limit testing, I'm fine... Shit, my knee kind of hurts. Definitely not doing that again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun puts her back onto her feet, Kate's attention is on the five-story roof from which they had just jumped off of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really just jumped off this apartment...\" Kate murmured to herself, trying to convince herself that it really had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And? Come on, don't stand here. We don't have all day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her not moving at all, Xiaoyun quickly turned around, grabing her arm to snap her back into reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean and? You just jumped off that building! Why the hell are you acting like you just done something normal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its not that big of a deal. Don't you remember me lifting an entire collapsed building? That was harder than jumping off this building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories began flooding into her brain, and she began to realize how absurd Xiaoyun's body was, given every detail she had experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop acting so surprised... Don't you remember the time when Anna shot me in the heart and I turned out to be fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate still didn't answer, but the surprise on her face finally began to disappear. Instead, her face looked a little frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, is it really that ridiclous for me to survive that fall? I need you to focus up and get ready to enter the city hall with me, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate nodded in silence as Xiaoyun created an invisible cloak before putting it on, looking over to her, who was already wearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You ready to turn on your invisible cloak?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. I'm ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate answered, the fear on her face quickly replaced by an oddly looking smile that looked a little creepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect. Here's your bluetooth mic piece.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them put their mic pieces on their collars, a word from a certain individual suddenly popped into her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are the chosen one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1564,"2026-06-10T06:59:51.848Z",1,"novelbin.me","84619cf9ec1834979fa4cb01a33fea6331fe8f80495cb1154adae321d5ceb1d1","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-770","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-769",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
