We’ve got enough stuff to deal with already.\" Xiaoyun answered, his mind still preoccupied with the viral outbreak from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shouldn’t we at least try to send a message to them over on the radio or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the navy wanted to talk to us, they would have done so long ago... Who knows if there’s even any human alive on those ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingang fell into silence. The pessimistic outlook from Xiaoyun was the complete opposite of his optimistic expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell this to anyone else. I don’t want to create any panic or rumors until it’s fully confirmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun walked towards his old, reliable SUV, he was a little surprised to see Anna standing right next to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been waiting out here the whole time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to walk back home. Come on, open the car door. It’s so damn hot out here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the car door unlocked, Anna instantly rushed into the passenger seat before trying to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unforunately, the moment she put her butt onto the seat, the burning heat instantly sent her flying up as a loud bang hit the car roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ow! What the fuck! The seat is so hot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The car had been here for the entire day yesterday and all morning. It’s obviously going to be hot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a gentle touch on the leather was enough for Xiaoyun to remain outside as he turned on the air conditioner and waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could have told me that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My bad... Oops, I almost forgot something. Be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun walked back over to the armored car, he quickly opened the door with his key before reaching the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There it is... What kind of bottle is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a closer examination, Xiaoyun still couldn’t understand the gift that Wu Min had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t any labels on the front or the back at all. The only hint was the fact that it was in a glass container that was clearly meant for alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that? Where did this come from?\" Anna curiously asked, noticing the bottle in Xiaoyun’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A gift from someone I know... Can you tell what this is?\" Xiaoyun asked, entering the car before handing her the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... It’s clearly some sort of alcoholic drink. Do you mind if I open it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Anna’s eyes glowing as she stared at the bottle with excitement, Xiaoyun nodded in agreement as he closed the car door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Anna popped the pork aside, a strong smell instantly filled the car. A sweet yet bitter smell traveled into their nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Das ist das gute Zeu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing... Let’s get back home first before I drink this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun started up the car, Anna’s attention was solely on the bottle, hugging it as if it were some sort of national treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that bottle really that good?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he drove the car out of the parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t understand... I have never drunk this before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t understand? I’ll let you know I’m the expert in drinking... I had drunk all kinds of alcohol when I was traveling for business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anna didn’t respond as she continued to hug the bottle in her chest, letting the cold touch through her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I need to go to the administrative office later. I’m just going to drop you off at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dropping Anna off, Xiaoyun headed back to the administrative building in Guangzhou before heading straight to Yuqi’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, only her assistant was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jianlin, where’s Yuqi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s at Foshan right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed back down to his car, he immediately drove towards Foshan before noticing the streets looked much emptier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was walking much faster, almost as if the sun were a deadly laser and they wanted to get back indoors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his car arriving at the Foshan administrative building, Xiaoyun quickly hopped out before going inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going up the stairs, he soon encountered a familiar-looking person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long time no see, Governor. What brought you here?\" The middle-aged man curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re... Lianzheng?\" Xiaoyun guessed from his vague memory during Foshan’s adventure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for remembering my name... Are you here to look for the Deputy Governor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, do you know where she is? I need to talk to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s a few streets down. I can bring you to her.\" Lianzheng offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Lianzheng back downstairs and into the open street, the two of them walked right into two men with full protective gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From head to toes, their entire body was covered by some sort of white fabric, their hand holding a hose spray, aiming right at the walls and floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them quickly crossed over to the other side of the street as they began shooting some sort of liquid onto their surrounding area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the viral outbreak this severe?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as they encountered even more men with protective gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better safe than sorry... It also rained the past few days. So we have to take precautions in case it spreads here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walk further and further down the sidewalk, Xiaoyun can see posters that have been freshly taped onto the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single one of them was the factual sheet he had seen on Houqin’s computer, telling people what to do and what to avoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, more and more workers were on the streets, seemingly to be vacuuming small puddles of water into a transport truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Deputy Governor! The Governor is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment all of the workers in the distance turned around, Xiaoyun instantly recognized Yuqi’s distinct look standing among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey... Everyone, go back to work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi directed the workers to turn back around, the two of them finally approached her, working on taping a poster herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Lianzheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lianzheng walking off into the distance, Xiaoyun turned his attention back to Yuqi, who was still taping a poster onto a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No reported outbreak yet. But it’s only a matter of time before those mosquito gets to Foshan and Guangzhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi stopped, handing her tape over to another worker before turning around to face Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s your deal with Changsha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Complete disaster. No deal reached at all.\" Xiaoyun answered as the two of them walked away from the workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not surprising... You talked to Houqin already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you probably should go to the hospital first. Visit the sick soldiers. Don’t spend time talking with me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun arrived at Foshan’s hospital, he instantly noticed three suspicious men standing right outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after noticing the camera in their hand, he quickly dismissed his worry as he took a step forward into the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, how can I help you... I’m not talking to you, doctor. There’s someone at the front right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front desk nurse asked, her ears pressed against a phone as she busily wrote something onto a piece of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to see the soldiers who are sick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go upstairs and turn right. You should see them right away... Yes, doctor, I’m listening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the front desk nurse just telling him upfront like this, Xiaoyun was a little surprised. But he didn’t think too much about it as he headed towards the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving on the second floor, he immediately realized what the nurse meant when she said ’See them right away.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rows upon rows of soldiers were just in the hallway, all lying on a bed with nets. Some even have IV drips next to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, who are you? Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the soldiers near the hallway entrance instantly questioned after noticing Xiaoyun walking past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shh, the other soldiers are asleep. No need to wake them up... I’m just here to make sure everyone is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you don’t like a doctor to me... Wait a moment. You’re the——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shush. No need to say it out loud... Let’s go talk somewhere more private.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier quickly agreed, following Xiaoyun back out the door before going into one of the empty doctor’s rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, what brought you here?\" The soldier curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to make sure all of the soldiers are doing fine... Has anyone died or been in critical condition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier shook his head before speaking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one died and everyone is out of critical condition, fortunately... At least that’s what I know of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good... Is everyone eating fine? Sleeping fine out here?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Most of the people have already started to recover and can leave the hospital... The only complaint is that the food is kinda bad here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll request a chef to come to the hospital tomorrow. Is there anything else the soldiers need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1507,"2026-06-10T06:59:52.732Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff01c5c4b9e7b6bd85512b6fe52be9a3f3f5019b582ef3b2a406d91c97c50d90","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-597","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-595",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
