We’re only going to Shaoguan and staying there for a few days until they’re back from Hunan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uneasiness remained on Houqin’s face, but there wasn’t much Xiaoyun could do other than let the fact speak for itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the SUV came to a stop near a school building, the white minivans continued driving down the highway before disappearing into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun and Houqin both quickly exited their car before the driver parked the car right next to the gated entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yiming, long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a warm hug, the first thing Xiaoyun noticed was the half-removed school tag in front of the ’military’ base that Yiming had selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You picked this as the 4th Army Corps’ training field?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It got everything an army base needed, and it’s close to the city... Ahem, Xiaoyun, why did you suddenly come to Shaoguan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I not come to chat with an old friend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yiming stared back at him in the eyes, Xiaoyun chuckled a little as the two of them walked past the school entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I didn’t come here just to chat with you. I actually fucked up something and came here to fix it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fix what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You remember the promise I made? Getting the soldiers from Hunan’s family back to Luoping?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, you did say that. How are you going to fix it?\" Yiming asked, his face looking a little intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saw those white minivans earlier, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. What about them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll tell you how it works if it was successful... If it doesn’t, I need you to prepare to take the soldiers to enter Hunan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun gave Yiming an ambiguous answer, he surprisingly didn’t get mad as he moved on to the latter part of the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want me to get the soldiers ready right now?\" Yiming questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not right now. But just in case something goes wrong, I need them to be ready at a moment’s notice.\" Xiaoyun answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander Xiaoyun, General Yiming, where are we going?\" Houqin asks, following the two of them into the main school building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know, actually. This is my first time coming to this military base... Yiming, where are we going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two want to see the soldiers? They’re working hard right now in the training field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking through the main building, the three of them soon arrive at a massive open field within the campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could see hundreds of thousands of soldiers running at the same time around what seemed to be a former school-ground track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other half of the soldiers were going through tire hoops and up into the monkey bar challenges, tirelessly rotating the work in a loop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they watched from the side for a whole minute, Xiaoyun soon noticed several senior officers who stood on the side of the track with a clipboard in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\" Yiming curiously asked, coming to a stop right next to where the senior officer stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems a little too easy compared to the one in Luoping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yiming didn’t say anything back, but one of the senior officers next to him was immediately a little taken aback by Xiaoyun’s comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, too easy? Half of the unit took the option to retire early because of this gruesome training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just stating my opinion,\" Xiaoyun answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you try it out yourself... C-Commander Chen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the senior officer finally decided to turn around to look at the person making the ignorant comment, he froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t mind it. Houqin, hold this for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly handed his holster over before walking up to the track. Within seconds, all of the soldiers immediately reconganized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening, Commander!\" The soldiers yelled as they stopped their exercises to salute him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evening. Do you guys mind if I try this out myself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of thousands of soldiers all left the obstacle at once, leaving the entire track empty for Xiaoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me just do a little warmup for a second... I haven’t really done much exercise for the past few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun stretched out his arms and legs, the senior officer who spoke up earlier was starting to regret it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Yiming, I-I don’t think this is a good idea. W-What if Commander gets hurt?\" One of the senior officers nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yiming could answer back, Xiaoyun had already taken off. His burst of speed instantly shocked everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the senior officers were rubbing their eyes in disbelief as they could see a faint after-image every step of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What felt like seconds going by, Xiaoyun was already done. As the senior officers all took out their timers to check, they were shocked once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only two minutes. A full kilometer track in exactly two minutes. All of the soldiers’ jaws dropped as they couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How fast was that...\" The senior officer who argued earlier murmured in shock as Xiaoyun stretched his leg at the finish line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a reason why he’s the leader,\" Yiming answered, barely able to keep his calm look together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew, that was a pretty nice warmup... Hey, time this lap for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before one of the senior officers could answer back, Xiaoyun had already started running once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whole dust storm suddenly appeared on the track, causing him to vanish for a few seconds as no one could see where he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he reaches the halfway point do they manage to see him again. Even Yiming looked a little shocked as Xiaoyun soon reached the finish line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what was the time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the senior officers all standing there in silence, Xiaoyun waved his hand before raising his voice again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello? What was my score?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-One minute thirty second.\" One of the officers finally spoke up as everyone recovered from the shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, that sounded a lot slower than what I had expected... Ahem, everyone, you can go back to your training now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly left the track, barely breaking a sweat as he looked perfectly fine walking back to Yiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander! I-I’m sorry for d-doubting you. I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to apologize. Your obstacles are fine... But you guys probably should incorporate shooting practice into this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun interrupted the senior officer’s apology, Yiming himself couldn’t resist the urge to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We already have that. It’s just over at the back of the building... Xiaoyun, when were you able to run that fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top secret. Ahem, well, Yiming, it was nice seeing the troops today... Houqin, don’t you have to meet with the logistics staff in Shaoguan? Let me go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the senior officers dared to stop him, watching the two walk back into the building as their eyes were filled with respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Yiming, how strong is Commander Chen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A lot stronger than an average person... Everyone, get back on track! No more break for the rest of the day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yiming’s steady voice traveled through the open field, all of the soldiers and officers quickly went back to their original tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, are you... human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin nervously asked as the two of them exited the high school entrance, her face still a little shocked from his performance earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... N-Not human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, please, if I’m not human, what else can I be? A zombie? Don’t overthink it, okay? That’s not your job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun tried to dismiss her concern, his heart was already regretting showing off in front of all the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just too intrigued to test his limit. He just couldn’t resist testing it out at that exact moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did I do that? I already fucking did it once before... Why didn’t I learn my lesson? Why show off, you idiot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After insulting himself for a bit, the two of them finally arrived back at the SUV, where the driver had been waiting the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are we going next, Commander?\" The driver asked as the two of them entered the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the logistic hub... That exists here, right Houqin?\" Xiaoyun asked as he didn’t really know much about Shaoguan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Just keep driving straight... If I remember correctly, it should be the fifth building near Shaoguan’s metropolitan entrance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver quickly inserted the car key, starting up the engine before driving closer and closer to the city proper.\u003C\u002Fp>",1529,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.885Z",1,"novelbin.me","66c08bd936b11732d94c5545eb72bf6cc2260563bade15f474b52614b08cb511","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-511","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-510",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
