Did you already feed the babies?\" Xiaoyun asked, shifting the conversation away from himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. And I took Qiaolan and Lianrong to the potty afterward. I also helped them wipe their butts, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good. That's good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a bunch of clanking sounds came out of the kitchen, Xiaoyun remained seated on the sofa, not daring to check by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's happening in there?\" Lily wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably someone dropped something... Lily, what do you want to watch?\" Xiaoyun asked as he turned on the TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... How about a movie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What movie do you want to watch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly selected the scariest movie he could find. All he wanted at this point was to make himself forget what had happened in the past hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiaoyun woke up on his bed, he was all alone in his room. Looking up at the clock, it was already past noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck... I still have work today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head a little as his body felt beyond exhausted. The moment he tried to support himself back up, a sticky feeling instantly caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories of last night flooded in as he slowly sat back up. Once again, he noted to himself not to leave his wives alone for more than a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, my legs...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking over to the mirror to have a look at himself, he could see the dried stains all over his body, from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the background, the bed was also covered in dried-up stains, from the blanket all the way up to the pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm definitely not cleaning it this time. Yucks...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking over to the bathroom, he quickly entered the shower area, turned on the water, and grabbed the bar of soap to scrub every part of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he was clean enough to head downstairs, it was already almost one o'clock in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Honey, you finally up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... Is there something that I can eat?\" Xiaoyun asked as he followed Leyan into the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leyan carried several dishes out of the stovetop, he quickly noticed that all of the food was nourishment for a middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything else I can eat? All of these look so weird.\" Xiaoyun murmured as they all seemed to be weirdly shaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, have you ever heard of the idiom Doctrine of Signatures? I went to the market to buy all these early in the morning just for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a second as she leaned over to whisper words that instantly sent a chill down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still want more tonight, okay? You know how hard it was for us to hold it in for two weeks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun picked up his chopstick in the end, taking a bite of whatever food was on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although none of the food tasted good, he was too hungry to care at this point as he kept shoving in more rice and more food into his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slow down, honey. You're going to choke if you don't chew your food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine——Ahem ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she handed him a cup of water, he instantly chugged it down before letting out a small burp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Too close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan looked back at him in confusion, grabbing the empty bowl in front of him as she couldn't understand his overreaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-Nevermind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly shook his head as his mind thought she was trying to sit on top of his lap to have sex with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, you should probably take a break from work for today. It doesn't hurt to miss a day... Besides, you're already late anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no, I have to meet up with Yuqi and Houqin to catch up with everything I missed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun got up from his seat and was getting ready to leave, he turned around one last time to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, almost forgot, can you clean up the bed later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just waiting for you to wake up to clean it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Leyan walked over to wave goodbye, Xiaoyun had already exited the house as the sound of the door closing traveled to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Geez, do I look that scary?\" Leyan murmured as she thought back to how she treated Xiaoyun last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, you okay? You look a little exhausted today.\" Houqin curiously asked as Xiaoyun sat across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine... Have you done last week's report?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's in my cabinet right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin quickly reached over to her cabinet, taking out a file before handing it over to Xiaoyun's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the cover, the information inside was things that Yiming had already told him the day before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the 3rd army corps heading over to Zhongshan, or south of Guangzhou, to the surge of zombies towards Dongguan, there wasn't anything new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after flipping past the first few pages, he finally noticed something different in the western direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhaoqing is almost finished?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. It's been pretty much cleared, other than a few remote towns that the troops haven't reached yet.\" Houqin answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good... Tell Yezi to keep going west. He needs to reach Yanfu city and then go down the road towards Maoming next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin nodded, noting it in her notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, tell Han Bang to be careful when attacking Zhongshan... His job isn't to clear the city. He just needs to hold the zombies at bay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin nodded again as Xiaoyun got up from his seat, walking over to the strategic map that rested on the other table in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell Yiming to get ready to leave the eastern front. He's going to be the one in charge of taking Jiangmen city in the south.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how about the defense at Shenzhen and Dongguan?\" Houqin questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 4th Army Corps is going rotate in to take their place... Might as well have them out for some real combat experience rather than training all day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After writing down all of Xiaoyun's orders, Houqin soon noticed something that was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, who's going to be in charge of the 4th Army Corps?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun fell into silence as his mind couldn't think of a person who stood out particularly during his stay in Shenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Lingang free yet?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's still on his last week of vacation break since he came back from Shenzhen... Do you want me to recall him early?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just have him be the temporary general for the 4th army after his break ends,\" Xiaoyun answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I almost forgot, how's the 5th Army Corps recruitment going so far? Are they fully trained yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... Let me check it for a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin turned towards her computer, typed on her keyboard, and a result popped up on her monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They had been training for a month so far... I don't think they are ready for combat yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine... Is there anything else I need to know outside of this report?\" Xiaoyun asked as he put the file back down onto her desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a letter that Mayor Leifeng had sent over... He wants you to read it personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she pulled out a closed envelope from her drawer, Xiaoyun was a little surprised, as he didn't expect Leifeng to send him a letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leifeng? Why would he send a letter through you rather than through Yuqi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly opened the envelope, only to see a small piece of paper the size of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a little request, one that asked him to loosen the restriction on soldier recruitment and expand the number of soldiers being recruited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder he sent this letter through you... Yuqi would definitely not like this if she got her hands on this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting the letter back into the envelope, he signaled Houqin to put it away for him before he created a piece of paper in front of her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me borrow your pen real quick... Okay, can you send this letter back to Leifeng? And make sure Yuqi doesn't know about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander... Can I ask what's inside the letter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin curiously asked as she sealed the letter Xiaoyun had written into a brand new envelope from her drawer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just me telling him I will think about it... He asked me to loosen restrictions on military recruits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly added the last part after noticing her face looked a little confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... But why don't we loosen it? I don't really see the need to put such a strict guideline in recruitment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I said don't show this to Yuqi earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! Right... I completely forgot about that.\" Houqin shyly murmured, feeling a little embarrassed by how slow her brain reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1534,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","3090f0b545bea9a1f4f65c9f06f5bc47e48c3ab5fe88446c2044b4a64c3cf647","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-649","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-684",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
