Outlining the various streets and metro entrances of Jiangmen city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the worst environment I’ve fought in.\" A much older officer with the rank of Major commented as he looked over to the window on the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The worst so far.\" A younger officer with a major rank pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Han Bang looked over the weather report from a few years ago, he could see the peak month of rain hadn’t even come yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humidity chart shows an even higher spike in July. The only saving grace he had was that the water itself in the street wasn’t freezing cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will be so much better if we come here in October or November. I remember coming here for winter break.\" The third Major in the room commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad we’re here now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Han Bang ended the conversation, all of the officers looked towards him in unison, waiting for him to give an order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But much to their disappointment, he looked over to the window again as the distant sky looked a little cloudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone is dismissed. Keep up with your post until further notice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the majors wanted to speak up, but their peers pulled them back as they all left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bang remained in the room. His eyes looked towards a group of soldiers gathered around a storm drain, trying to remove all of the debris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When is this shit weather going away?\" Han Bang wondered as he took out his binoculars, trying to look into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his vision, only more and more cloudy days were ahead. He hasn’t experienced any resemblance to sunlight for the past few weeks since he got here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander! The head of the Logistics office had sent you a letter.\" A soldier yelled out as he barged into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A letter? From Houqin?\" Han Bang’s face looked a little surprised as he walked over to the soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accepting the letter and dismissing the soldier, Han Bang quickly opened it and began reading it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, you have been... promoted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, over in Dongguan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God damn it, why is it raining today out of all the day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yiming stood still in anger, all four of the Colonels remained silent, waiting for him to get past it on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s only going to rain even harder, sir.\" One of the Colonels finally spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even harder? How come I never experience this kind of rain over in Luoping?\" Yiming questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, it’s just about to be rainy season. And last year just happened to have extremely low rainfall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever. Everyone, you’re all dismissed. Make sure you all watch out for high winds and flash floods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the officer began leaving the room one by one, Yiming’s mood was only getting worse and worse, staring at the rainy sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, you okay?\" An officer asked, his badge indicating him as only a Major, yet he was still allowed inside the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine Gantian——Shit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yiming’s hand quickly held onto his legs as he sat back down in his chair. The frown on his face showed him to be in a lot of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This dogshit, unbearable rainy weather... I’m going to send in my retirement letter after this.\" Yiming grumpily murmured as he tried to massage his knee joint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General... Commander Chen still needs your help. I don’t think he’ll let you retire.\" Gantian commented as he knelt to help massage his knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wouldn’t dare... I’m already two-thirds of the way to my grave. If he doesn’t let me retire, I’m just going to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gantian didn’t say anything back, but his face clearly showed disapproval of his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, I miss Sichuan...\" Yiming suddenly murmured, his mind zoning out a little as if he were having a nostalgia trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, you’re from Sichuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I am. Why do you think I’m still not used to this weather? That’s good enough. You can stop now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gantian moved back to the side, his mind was a little intrigued. Despite working all these years with Yiming, he doesn’t even know his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can leave the room now. I want to spend some time alone.\" Yiming ordered, realizing he had leaked some info that he didn’t want to share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere in Luoping...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woohoo, you finally have a break!\" A middle-aged woman celebrated as a middle-aged man sat next to her with his legs crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah. But I’m going to need to return to the battlefield in a week or so.\" The man responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A week is still better than nothing, Lingang.\" The woman whispered as she leaned over to the man’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren’t wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them sat together on the sofa, the atmosphere soon got a little awkward as there wasn’t anything much they could do at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Lele, what do you do at home when I’m gone?\" Lingang suddenly asked as he wrapped his arm around the middle-aged woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just crocheting... Wait, let me show you what I’ve made for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lele quickly ran over to a nearby drawer before taking out several shirts and several unfinished fabrics connected to a stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, these two are what I have made so far. Do you think it looks good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examining the shirt, Lingang couldn’t really tell what was so unique about it, other than the fact that it was made out of wool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks pretty good. You self-taught this yourself?\" Lingang curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. I bought a book a few weeks ago that taught me how to do it... Here, try it on. I made sure it matches your other shirt’s size.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lingang took off his shirt, Lele’s face blushed a little as his six-pack abs and chisled chest were on full display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fits perfectly. Thanks, Lele.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking the wool shirt off and handing it back, the living room soon fell into another awkward silence as neither side had anything to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Lele.\" Lingang suddenly apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you sorry for?\" Lele questioned in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not that romantic. And I barely come back home to be with you. I’m a shit husband that——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t insult yourself like this. You’re the love of my life. I would rather be with you than anyone else in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two looked each other in the eyes, Lingang soon turned to the side as if he couldn’t endure her affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, Lingang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. Sorry. I’m just off today. I didn’t mean to make you——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lele suddenly leaned up for a kiss, preventing him from finishing as his eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to hear you say sorry. You’re my big hero and always will be. You can always rely on me to share your burden, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him shyly looking down at his knee like a little girl, Lele couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you laughing at?\" Lingang curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing... It’s just funny to see a big grown man who’s on the battlefield be all shy in front of his wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingang froze for a second before realizing who she was describing. His face turned red for a second before he returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey. That was uncalled for. How dare you call your husband like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you going to do? Punish me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lele looked back at him with an cocky atitude, Lingang quickly pinned her down onto the sofa, staring at her right in the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you want to be punished?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t answer right away. Her head leaned up a little before whispering it into his left ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However you want, darling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lingang was about to make his first move, he suddenly stopped and moved back over to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face looked depressed, seemingly to have aged several years within seconds as he stared down at the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\" Lele worryingly asked, getting back up before sitting down next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I just can’t. Sorry.\" Lingang apologized, remaining silent for a whole minute until Lele spoke up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it because of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s not you. It’s me. I have a problem... I just can’t get over it. It’s not your fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lingang keep blaming himself, guilt began to build up inside Lele’s heart as she knew exactly what the problem was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A problem that she had brought upon him. A problem that he would have never needed to faced if he just didn’t marry her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1505,"2026-06-10T06:59:52.732Z",1,"novelbin.me","a14013b573c46a6fa5d8819d54605d7e620261ac660f9d2785b699d3afdf2f01","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-560","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-558",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
