That was so rude of her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun murmured as he walked past the laundry machines, exiting the bathroom before heading back downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, where are the babies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked around the sofa and checked every crib, there was not a single one of them in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading over to the guest bedroom, he finally let out a small sigh of relief as all of the babies were already asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder she went to take a shower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the door, Xiaoyun headed back over to the sofa, taking a seat before noticing the newspaper headline on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two biggest upcoming startup IPOs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading past the headline, he quickly realized why it was titled like that. Two critical industries were being created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was the mining industry in Qingyuan, and the other was a steel mill also in Qingyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That place really is becoming an industrial hub again...\" Xiaoyun thought to himself as a small flashback popped into his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flipping to the next page, he was a little surprised to see a news coverage of an interview with Yiming from two days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He really fulfilled that bet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun read through the lines, it was mostly just talking about how the whole event in Shenzhen was handled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun was the hero. He's the one who should be given most of the credit for defeating the fog...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as a smile appeared on his face, it instantly vanished as soon as he read the last few lines of the newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fog had breached through his clothes, which is why he looked so red in that magazine. But he had already fully healed from the rash... Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun rolled his eyes in disbelief as the picture in the magazine seemed to have spread everywhere, even to Yiming and the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only relief he had at this point was the press themsleve not copying the picture and releasing it in their newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That stupid magazine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you calling stupid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leyan came downstairs in her pajamas, Xiaoyun's face instantly changed back to normal as he put the newspaper back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just some work stuff... Is everyone else still taking a shower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're just changing right now... Honey, do you want a break today?\" Leyan suddenly asked as she sat down right next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break? That's surprising to hear from you. Didn't you just want to do it in the shower earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Leyan could finish talking, Xiaoyun's phone suddenly started ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a second. Houqin is calling me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun headed over to the backyard and picked up the call, he was instantly shocked by her message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Y-20 landed at Foshan Shadi Airport.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are they at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun asked as he exited his car, walking over to the airport's entrance where Houqin stood by with two other soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still inside their plane. They haven't sent anyone outside, nor have they answered any of our radio messages yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Houqin guided Xiaoyun into the airport, he soon saw the massive military cargo plane resting right on one of the empty airstrips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God damn, that thing is big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun murmured as he compared it to the commercial plane right next to it, which was barely half of its size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the soldiers standing by the interior entrance tried to salute, only to have him dismiss it as he signaled focus on the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many people do we have here?\" Xiaoyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was able to call a hundred soldiers from reserves. But a regiment is coming their way right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun looked out the window, he could see that the Y-20 cargo plane had its lights on full blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you tried sending a person over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was waiting for you, sir,\" Houqin answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, go try to communicate with them... Here's a loudspeaker. Just ask who they are and what business they have here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun pulled out a whole loudspeaker from his backpack, the soldier quickly accepted it before heading out of the interior exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched in silence as the soldier walked closer and closer to the cargo plane, waiting for some sort of noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearts started beating faster and faster as he reached all the way to the nose of the plane, turning on the megaphone as a sharp initial beep rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello! This is the 5th Army Corps from Guangzhou. Can I ask what your unit is and what business you have here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting there for a whole minute, the cargo plane chose to open its back as a metal door resciended upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the windows, everyone could see five men in soldiers' uniforms stepping out, all fully armed to the teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier who had walked there seemed to have handed the megaphone over, as they soon heard a different voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, this is the 4th Aviation Division. I'm a Lieutenant Colonel. We're from Northwestern Theater! Can I talk to your commander?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soldiers nearby began to lower their guards, Xiaoyun was still extremely alert. He couldn't think of a single reason why they would come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go talk to him——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, that's too risky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yeah, Commander, that can't be safe. Why don't we just send another representative to give them a walkie-talkie or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I volunteer to go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing more and more soldiers siding with Houqin's opinion, Xiaoyun still shook his head and rejected their suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have no reason to hurt me... If they really wanted to, they would have flown a bomber that could blow up the whole city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell into silence as they watched Xiaoyun walk through the terminal tunnel, walking all alone in the landing stripes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun sees the Lieutenant Colonel up close, he is a little surprised by how young the man looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It almost felt like he was looking at a college student who had just graduated, not some high-up officer in the Air Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Chen Xiaoyun, the commander that you're looking to talk to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look a little young as a commander.\" The Lieutenant Colonel murmured as he didn't seem to trust him a single bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you think it's a little funny for you to say that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun questioned back, showing no signs of fear despite the three men standing behind the Lieutenant Colonel with their rifles in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren't wrong... Ahem, since you're the commander, can you bring us somewhere else to talk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure... What should I call you, Mister Colonel?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he began walking back towards the terminal exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Li Zhangfei, we're from Gansu, Lanzhou city... Where are you from?\" The man questioned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, Colonel Li. I'm from Guangzhou... Do you know anything about us before flying here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them reached the entrance, everyone could feel the tension as Zhangfei could see Xiaoyun's soldiers standing there through the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A trader told me a few things about Guangdong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... Ahem, can someone come over and open the door?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soldier from inside the building quickly ran over to open the terminal exit, allowing the two of them in before stopping the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Chen, can you let my bodyguard through? I don't feel safe without them.\" Zhangfei requested as he stopped inside the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single look, Xiaoyun's soldier quickly lets them pass as they finally enter the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to go to my city to have a chat, or do you just want to talk about business here in the airport?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhangfei thought about it for a second before looking back at his soldiers, who all stood still with a cold face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will be great if you can give us a tour of your city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin drove the car, Zhangfei and Xiaoyun were sitting in the back, while only one of Zhangfei's bodyguards sat in the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Li, let's just be frank here. You didn't come here just for a little tour, did you?\" Xiaoyun impatiently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do have a little request...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhangfei's face looking a little hesitant, Xiaoyun immediately realized the person in front of him was really just as young as he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there any spare chances that you guys have extra food?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Food? Do you guys have food shortages or something?\" Xiaoyun asked again, wanting to pry more info out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the bodyguard in the front seat cleared his throat, the nervousness on Zhangfei's face instantly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just recently had a little drought this year. So we are trying to stockpile some food for the winter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's such unforunately timing,\" Xiaoyun murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How so?\" Zhangfei curiously asked, his face already starting to look a little desperate through the rear mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, we just had directed most of our food to the front line. So we don't have much to give away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can buy it from you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","4932633fb509db745339e3261aa4bad0f35c1b2c27828bc810710b4e3844fd52","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-614","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-809",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
