If you scale this underground city down a little, down to like twenty people, I think this is actually fine as it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, don’t be ridiculous. We had already broken hundreds of underground vaults before. A Bunker is no different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wuli instantly dismissed the idea, he shook his head before picking up a piece of fish meat from the plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who says we’re going to use it to block the military? It’s a shelter meant to shield you guys in case of a nuclear strike.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun paused for a second, then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, where else do you all want to spend the money towards? Do you want to give it away to charity or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the whole table fell into silence. No one had any clue where to spend the insane amount of money at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their mind, they already had all the luxury and things they ever wanted. There really wasn’t anything they needed to spend money on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If no one disagrees with it, I think you all should let Leyan go ahead with this idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue was the first to switch sides, followed by Nami, who seemed to have an alternative motive inside her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If everyone is fine with their paycheck going towards it, I guess I’m fine as well then...\" Kate quietly murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one else speaking up, Leyan was instantly overjoyed as she took it as an agreement from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you so much, honey!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not so fast. There’s no way you’re spending half a billion by yourself. I want you to go consult more experts to see if this is actually a good idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day flew by uneventfully, as nothing much happened other than a few minor problems over in Shaoguan that Yiming himself could deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, there was nothing much Xiaoyun needed to do... Other than going out with a small team, including Leyan, to Luoping’s old entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there wasn’t any road that led to the land down below the hill, they were forced to wrap around half of Luoping before going off-road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finally got there, they were instantly awed by the natural beauty around the area, much more impressive than what they had seen from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trees and overgrown grasses were everywhere, with a small dirt path seemingly formed over the years, if not decades, of animal walking by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash of the past is what Leyan described it as. A place full of greenery, of what used to be all around their houses in Luoping before the outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trip wasn’t just boring scenery, however. Xiaoyun and his travel group soon discovered something right below the entrance’s cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of thousands of zombie corpses were lying there. Some were still making some noises, indicating they were still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xiaoyun ’retrieved’ his gun from his backpack and took them out of their misery—but it also meant the project had to be put on hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scouting teams were sent across the forest to look for potential zombies that had survived the drastic cliff drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days of extensive search and burning the corpses on the spot, no other zombie was found in the nearby forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan and her team of engineers could finally resume their land survey. This time, however, Xiaoyun wasn’t there with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Yuqi had something much more important to do as the last week of August approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just three more days and you can enjoy your new job. Aren’t you excited?\" Xiaoyun asked as the two just sat down in her office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm. I can finally be like you and just sit back all day. Let everyone else do the work before something goes wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don’t be so pessimistic. Have some faith in your co-workers... This is something we have to do as we grow larger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi didn’t argue back this time as she went back to work in silence, looking through the various emails, before Xiaoyun let out a small yawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, why are we working over the weekend? Did you leave something we didn’t do yesterday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to talk to you alone about something...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alone? Did we really need to come all the way to the office? Couldn’t we just talk in the backyard—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, don’t you think Mom has been behaving a little weird lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weird? What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The energy on her face. The fact that she’s actively going out of the house and letting others babysit our kids at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just doesn’t feel right. It’s like she’s... on drugs or something. I don’t know what exactly, but whatever it is, she’s not acting like the usual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, come on. Can she not be a housewife for a few days? Don’t you think it is a little harsh to think of your mother like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, maybe I was a little too harsh. But you tell me, a housewife wanting to build a bunker? What kind of crazy switch is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun didn’t answer Yuqi right away. He understood her point, but he just didn’t want to dig too deep into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s what she wanted to do to entertain herself, then so be it... You can’t expect Leyan to be a housewife all his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used to be a nurse. She has her own independent thinking. Building might be a little stretch from being a nurse, but it’s not that far-fetched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi stared right into Xiaoyun’s eye, he eventually backed down in the end as he awkwardly scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, maybe it is a little bit out of character for her. But who am I to say she should stop? You try to tell her to stop what she’s doing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Just let her do her thing. At least having her spend the money is helping to grow the economy rather than having it rot in a bank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Xiaoyun’s reasoning, Yuqi still shook her head as she looked around the room before turning her eyes back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, I don’t care about the money. It’s not what I have you over here today... I think Mom had been doing some secret stuff behind our backs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secret stuff? Oh come on, when did you fall in love with conspiracy theories? She’s just in her... midlife crisis or something—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have definitive evidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xiaoyun’s eyes instantly turned serious. He looked back into Yuqi’s eyes as he opened his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuqi, I just want to tell you one thing. I already know Leyan had been doing a few things in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I want to be clear. I don’t mind her doing her own thing. I’m not going to stop her just like how I’m not going to stop you from working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if she’s interfering with our work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—Then again, it would be really rude for her to impede government function. What are we talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found the person who messes with our document. You remember how we fell into an argument a few days ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An argument... A few days ago... There are so many arguments...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun unable to recall the exact moment she was talking about, Yuqi’s face started to get a little red in frustration before she clarified her answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one you questioned me about, if I added Yueyue to monitor the military, did you already forget about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that one. Didn’t I already agree to it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not the point. The fact is, neither of us wrote it, and someone else edited it themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, so you know the person who did this. Let me see the evidence, and I’ll go my way to the arrest myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don’t have the evidence. Wait, wait, wait, but I know it has to be Leyan who’s behind all this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, am I supposed just to buy your word?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun getting ready to get up and leave, Yuqi pulled out her final trump card that made him freeze in place for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you know damn well Mom had been constantly interfering with our work. Why don’t you just confront her directly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’ll never hurt me, that’s why. I trust her more than anyone in this world... If she wanted me dead, I would have died long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... Ugh, you think you look cool saying that?\" Yuqi sighed as she rolled her eyes, looking a little annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All I’m seeing is a jealous daughter who wants more attention from her husband... Yuqi, are you jealous I went out with Leyan yesterday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiaoyun continue to act stupid, Yuqi gave up completely as she turned off her computer before getting up herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Asshole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I’m just joking. Don’t be mad. I just don’t see the point in asking her... She’s the last person in the world that would hurt us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1526,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.595Z",1,"novelbin.me","eb578a7f1d54bda5b76303a16f5e4e10fc30b078893f9a4516d9958c3949ba99","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-744","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-742",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
