You okay, commander?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine... Is there anything that you need me to know about?\" Xiaoyun asked as he let out a small yawn after sitting down across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing so far... Oh, I just got a message.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin started clicking through her computer, her face grew increasingly concerned as she scrolled down her mouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, I got good news and bad news... Which one do you want to hear first?\" Houqin asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good news first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of Yezi’s divisions stationed in Zhaoqing just repealed an attack from a mutant that they had never heard of before...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mutant never seen before?\" Xiaoyun questioned in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shouldn’t use the word heard. It’s on the record, but no one had actually witnessed it on actual ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop beating around the bush and just say what kind of mutant——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin turned her monitor around, Xiaoyun froze in place. It was a giant zombie. No, a mutant that matched the same height as a skyscraper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same zombie he once witnessed in Foshan with Kate, finally captured in actual pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They managed to repeal it?\" Xiaoyun questioned, his eyes unable to believe something like this was taken care of by a single division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the email, they said they used all of their explosives and used the DF-11 that we transferred over to Yezi to damage the mutant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damage... Not even killed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of those ballistic missiles not even killing the mutant shocked him. He still could remember the damage when Zhongxiong’s army used them in Changsha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m afraid so... They report only stated repeal. Not killed.\" Houqin answered as her face looked a little grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit. Wait a moment, this isn’t the bad news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the email, they also stated that there are more of them... They had drone footage that is being delivered by this evening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t be serious...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the giant mutant on the screen, he couldn’t mutter a single word. He just couldn’t imagine the damage if more of these giant mutants attacked at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was already thinking of packing his bags and sailing to the high seas, or hiding in the bunkers in case the mutant charged straight towards Luoping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, is there anything else they had sent us in the email?\" Xiaoyun asked, shaking his head a little to kick off all the negative thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, sir. That’s all the information the resupply caravan was able to send back at once... We should get more information by the evening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her repeated answer, Xiaoyun’s heart was not calmed down at all. But his face had to remain calm as he looked over to the army map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Yezi know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is already pulling his entire army back from Yanfu to Zhaoqing. He should have gotten the same information as us an hour ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun thought of what to do, his eyes turned towards the south. There was one man who he was certain would have a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recall Yiming from Zhongshan and Jiangmen. I need him to come back by the evening to discuss what to do next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the logistic office kicked itself into full gear, Xiaoyun was out of there as he arrived in the adminstrative building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morning, boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking the elevator and walking through a few cubicles, he soon arrived in Yuqi’s main office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Took you long enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi murmured as the clock was almost pointing at twelve o’clock already, when he usually comes here an hour earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just had some stuff coming up... Hey Yuqi, the cabinet idea might need to be delayed. I’m going to be busy for the next few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Busy? What are you busy with? Is there some bad news from Houqin?\" Yuqi guessed as she could see the grim look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you remember the giant mutant rumor that the newspaper reported a few days ago in Guangxi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. What about them?\" Yuqi asked again, her face still seemingly careless about what was about to drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They attacked one of the divisions stationed in Zhaoqing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second Xiaoyun answered, she finally looked away from her computer. Her head turned over to stare at him in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the look on his face, it became clear to Yuqi that it was not a joke. The rumor of the giant mutant was true all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Did the army manage to fight it off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi nervously asked as she looked genuinely scared, her eyes more scared than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now. They are fought off. But things could get a lot worse. I need you to get ready to mobilize all resources for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, she didn’t argue back against Xiaoyun. She only nodded in agreement as the fear disappeared from her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go make the calls. Is there anything else I can do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make sure none of the media panics. The last thing we want is for the citizens to freak out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi once again nodded her head, noting it down as she looked over to Xiaoyun for the next command from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And make sure Yueyue gets the order to crack down on any rumors... Make sure it’s not too obvious that it might backfire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite getting an ambiguous answer, Yuqi didn’t question it once again as she noted it down in her notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it... Make sure this conversation doesn’t get out. Just say to the workers that it’s a scheduled emergency practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the noon quickly flew by, Xiaoyun was back at Houqin’s office as the resupply caravan that had headed to Zhaoqing finally arrived back at the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sitting right in the middle of the desk where Houqin usually sits, with Houqin and Yiming standing on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, these are five soldiers the division commander sent back to report the news in detail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun nodded, signalling her to continue as she looked over to the head of the five-person group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhangbei, can you introduce the situation on the front line?\" Houqin ordered out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the more senior soldiers stepped up, he quickly took out his backpack before putting a laptop on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The front line situation right now is stable. The invading mutant was repealed, and the damage we had done should be severe enough to most likely kill it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xiaoyun and Yiming were a little surprised, as it didn’t match up with the initial email info they had gotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The initial report we had was that the giant mutant ran away from the battlefield with a massive wound around its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after conducting a scouting flight with a drone, we found it to be lying on the floor just twenty km away in the woods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Show me the footage then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhangbei quickly opened the laptop, entering the password before a video was put on display for the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first few second was the drone flying up to the sky, heading out from some small towns as it flew towards the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just endless and endless woods, with every few patches of trees crushed onto the dirt below until a road showed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the drone started following the road, a warning label popped up in the corner, indicating the battery was starting to run low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this sped up?\" Yiming curiously asked as he quickly realized how fast the drone was flying by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what felt like flying forever, the drone finally sees something different. A mutant lying fully on the ground, faced down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could all see the visible wound, from what seemed to be explosive marks to small bullet holes all over its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, it had an open wound right on the back of its head, still bleeding out as it remained there, lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That thing definitely looks dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yiming murmured as the drone’s battery reached a critical point, automatically descending as it landed into some trees before blacking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The radio message we received halfway also stated that we sent a small team to check, and they said the mutant was confirmed dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun finally let out a sigh of relief as it wasn’t all bad news. But there were still a lot of things to be desired with the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the drone footage of the mutant that attacked. How about the information about the existence of multiple giant mutants?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he asked the question, he could notice the four soldiers in the back breathing heavily as if they were a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t fear in their eyes, which surprised Xiaoyun a little as Zhangbei pulled up another video on the computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We couldn’t confirm exactly that there are multiple mutants. But we did find footprints that indicated there was certainly more than one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1516,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.595Z",1,"novelbin.me","533c3227420b243389ed908dcdc77937adc367cea4ad2f016b8c4769b52bae60","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-711","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-709",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
