I don’t mind it. You guys like the food?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All seven of them nodded in agreement, except Yuqi and Yueyue, who were also too busy feeding their baby with porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great to hear... Time for me to have a proper meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Mommy! I’m full!\" Qiaolan complained as she rejected the spoonful of porridge from Yueyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You barely ate it. You promised Mommy Leyan earlier that you’re going to eat it, didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiaolan reluctantly ate down the porridge, both Wuli and Shuli were a little taken aback by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do they really have to eat porridge? They looked full already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami murmured, watching all three of the babies reluctantly eat down the porridge their mother fed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have to slowly phase into eating solid food... Xuanhua has to do the same when she gets older, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Leyan said Xuanhua’s name out loud, the baby in Nami’s arm widened her eyes for a second before returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to force them to eat that much porridge... They are almost done with it anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun suggested that after seeing all three of the babies start moving their heads away from the spoons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just one more spoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yongyi took one big spoon of porridge, Leyan gently wiped his lip with a towel before carrying him back down to the kitchen floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful, don’t walk too fast when you finish eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him bee-lining back to the living room to play with the toys, both Lianrong and Qiaolan felt a little jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Mommy! I-I want to go play!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One spoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Yuqi and Yueyue said out loud at the same time, their hand raising one big spoon of the porridge just like Leyan earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two babies both ate it down before their mother carried them back down as well, letting them walk back to the living room together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do babies hate porridge that much?\" Kate curiously asked, unable to understand the reasoning behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You try eating it for a month or two, and you’ll get bored just as fast as they do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan replied as she finally picked up her chopsticks, taking a small piece of braised pork from the plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate immediately felt a chill traveling down her spine as her mind quickly thought back to the time Leyan cooked porridge for everyone as breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it’s time to add a few bits of meat and century eggs into the porridge,\" Shuli suggested as Wenwen peacefully slept in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told Xiaoyun to add them earlier... Actually, Xiaoyun, where are they? I don’t see them in the porridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I chopped them into very small bits. It’s going to be hard to see it... You guys didn’t notice the baby’s mouth chewing a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all three of the baby mothers shaking their heads, it made Xiaoyun question himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go get a bowl to check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting a bowl of porridge from the pot and eating a few spoons of it, he quickly realized he might have chopped the pieces too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could taste the differences from bland porridge, but his mouth could barely feel the chunk of meat he had put in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, maybe I cut them a little too small. I’ll leave them a little bigger next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun loaded the last few dirty dishes into the dishwasher, Lily and Tianci were wiping the table with a dish towel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate and Anna were both still sitting in their seat in the kitchen, playing some sort of games on their phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other six were all sitting on the sofa, with a pump attached to their chest, while their babies ran around in circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, am I tripping, or was it like this before I left?\" Xiaoyun murmured as he took a seat by Kate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by ’this?’\" Anna curiously asked as she gave him a short glance before looking back at her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The six of them pumping milk into a bottle while you guys sit here in the kitchen... The difference is that the babies are living in the living room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, maybe because they run out of milk every Sunday? Isn’t that obvious?\" Kate murmured as her eyes were glued to the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Tianci and Lily finished wiping the table, the two of them sat down in their seat before looking a little bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you two playing?\" Lily curiously asked, moving over to the other side to sit right next to Kate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Battleship——Ha! Too easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just got lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate celebrated her victory over Anna, Xiaoyun was a little intrigued as he could see them playing a game together on the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Kate, how did you guys play games on your phone? I thought there was no internet available.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not the internet. Just an app that one of the workers made in their spare time. All it needs is two phones to be close enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So like LAN?\" Xiaoyun questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, similar to that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two start another game, Xiaoyun didn’t bother them any further. But Lily had completely different ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Kate! Can you please help me install that app? I-I want to play too!\" Lily pleaded as she held onto Kate’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ask Anna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me finish this game first. I’ll teach you how to install it after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lily happily celebrated in excitement, Xiaoyun turned his attention over to Tianci, who had just been sitting there in silence, staring at the white wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tanci, you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. I’m fine... Why do you ask that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You looked a little zoned out... Is there something bothering you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci paused for a second as she stopped looking at the wall, turning around to look back at Xiaoyun’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just thinking about the flesh sample you brought to Wuli.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, I almost forgot about that thing. Has the result come out yet? What finding did you make?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci paused again as she looked over to the other three girls in the kitchen, who were too busy playing the game on their phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to talk about it in private?\" Xiaoyun asked again, noticing the worry on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine as long as you don’t mind it... We couldn’t find anything about the samples. It’s just way too complex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too complex?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun was a little surprised as he never expected her to look so defeated when she said it out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sample is a complete mystery. There’s no DNA structure or anything. Like, the thing shouldn’t even exist or be alive at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explanation confused Xiaoyun a little. In his mind, he could vividly remember seeing that sphere moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of the tentacles that move and Wuli’s side of the story later on, everything in the fog seemed to be alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that thing isn’t alive, how could it direct the tentacles to tie up those soldiers and consume them down to the skeletons?\" Xiaoyun questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what all of us in the lab don’t get. We couldn’t get it through the PCR machine, no NGS, not even Mass spectrometry and Microscopy worked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci’s voice started to get more and more desperate, both Anna and Kate stopped tapping their phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s something that isn’t from Earth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don’t know. It might be... Whatever sphere you guys manage to kill, there’s nothing on earth that’s remotely related to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer became the final nail in the coffin as Xiaoyun’s mind had already determined the flesh matter to be of alien origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as it can’t pose a threat anymore, it’s all good... That thing hasn’t tried to reanimate itself or anything, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Tianci nodding her head, Xiaoyun let out a small sigh of relief. It was the one worry he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could still remember how the tentacles almost just kept appearing near the sphere when it died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his mind quickly realized that the fog and the sphere might not be as directly related as he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you this, I managed to find the source of the thing that was causing all the fog.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The depressed look on Tianci’s face instantly vanished. In its place was curiosity and a hint of genuine shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, really. How else would I return home so early in the morning? I would never leave a job unfinished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should see that red liquid by tomorrow morning in your lab. Trust me. You’re going to be blown away by how that thing works——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, big hero over here talking about secrets with Tianci and not telling us about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1536,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","b2f7020b35d0d267ddf8661042a1c5a9082912938b373662b2a1573a35190fa6","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-683","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-645",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
