You sure you didn’t open the wrong way?\" Yuqi questioned as she noticed the backside of the paper had a bit of ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci flipped back over to the other side, she finally saw what was written in the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Line by line, her eyes began to widen as if something shocking was inside it, making all of them curious as they stood in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s inside it?\" Yueyue impatiently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a thank-you letter from one of my friends. Don’t worry about it that much—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C’mon, you gotta tell us what’s inside it. There’s no way it’s just a thank you letter. I refuse to believe it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate tried to press Tianci for an answer, she only put the letter back into the envelope before putting it into her pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not lying. It really is just a thank-you letter... If I showed it to you guys, it would violate the patient’s right to privacy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short standstill between Tianci and everyone else, Leyan was the first to back down as she helped divert the attention away from Tianci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s right. If it is a medical record, it needs to be private... Come on, go help me carry the rest of these bags over to the kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them looked a little disappointed, but had no choice as they carried all of the bags of groceries over to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Tianci, was it really just a thank-you letter?\" Lily curiously asked as the hallway ran out of bags to carry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got no reason to lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily didn’t say anything else as she walked out of the living room. Her heart felt something was off as she recalled everything in her memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it really heatstroke? Wait a moment, the ghost asked me about Mr.Chen, not Mrs. Chen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back over in Shaoguan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good evening, Yu Hua.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evening Commander, Evening Miss Houqin.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them entered the past the entrance, the place felt much emptier than usual, as only a few workers were in the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s everyone?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone went back home early today since there’s nothing much to do... Is there something I can help you with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are your wounds fully healed yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin asked as she purposely walked off over to the side, leaving Xiaoyun alone to head towards one of the workers at their work station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just went to the doctor this morning, and they helped me remove the bandage... I think I’m good now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hua’s answer made her let out a sigh of relief, as Houqin still remembered how scared she was seeing Yu Hua wrapped in bandages underneath the clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Hua, do you think the logistic hubs need bodyguards?\" Houqin suddenly asked as they entered the private room together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bodyguards? Um... I don’t think that’s necessary. It would just be a waste of money most of the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But look how injured you were walking back home alone. And you aren’t the only one who has been hurt on the job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Someone else was also hurt on the job?\" Yu Hua questioned, looking a little surprised by Houqin’s comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Just last week, there was a report of an attempted robbery... If it wasn’t for the police happening to drive by, it could have ended badly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s scary. I think that would definitely mandate a need for bodyguards then... But something is preventing it from happening, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Hua questioned back once again, Houqin nodded her head as she revealed the restraint that prevented it from happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You read my mind, Yu Hua... There’s just not enough funding to go around for hiring dedicated guards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houqin paused for a second, then continued as she looked over to Yu Hua’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any ideas? I can’t think of a way to improve the security without needing money one way or another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... I can’t think of anything either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Hua looking just as clueless as her, the worry on Houqin’s face deepened as the challenge remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Houqin, when a stray animal attacked me, I was going back home... So technically, having bodyguards wouldn’t have even helped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right. I didn’t even think of that... Maybe it’s just up to the police to make the streets safer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin gave up trying to resolve it through their own means, a sudden knock appeared outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you two done talking yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly entered the private room, only to see two women whose faces looked a little stressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re fine... Commander, can you think of a way to increase security for logistic workers who need to go into the fields?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Increase security?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing there for a few seconds, an idea popped into his mind. But he quickly dismissed it, realizing how simple it sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys already thought of hiring guards, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was the one idea we thought of originally. But it would just be too expensive to have guards for every single logistic worker.\" Houqin answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, I got an idea that might just solve your guy’s problem... It came from when I was talking to the logistics workers outside earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun took a seat next to Houqin, both of their faces were filled with curiosity as they waited for him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The logistic worker told me how, when there’s a military operation, they work hard. Day and night, overtime, you name it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are practically working 24 hours nonstop until their mission is finished. Then they had nothing, like literally nothing else to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Yu Hua nor Houqin said anything back, but they knew what Xiaoyun was talking about, as it had always been how they had operated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any military operations, the logistics department was practically burning money hiring people sitting around and doing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It might make sense to hire them as part-time. But that’s not the point of the question you guys are asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there’s an endless amount of problem that comes with that, so let’s ignore that idea completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you get to the point, Commander?\" Houqin asked, her voice starting to get a little impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. So look, we have a bunch of free workers. Not just in Shaoguan, but in Shenzhen and Dongguan as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both women nodded their heads, waiting for him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t turn some of them into guards, either, right? Since they had their own city post that they are assigned to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both woman nodded their head once again as they began to realize what Xiaoyun was trying to hint at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was thinking, why don’t we give the logistics staff military training as well? They have nothing else better to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds like a bad idea... Half of the logistic staff are not fit enough to be in the army in the first place.\" Yu Hua immediately pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s true. But how about the other half? If I remember correctly, some of the logistic workers also happen to be retired soldiers, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Houqin nodded her head, Xiaoyun knew his idea had some merit to it. But it needed more polishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We aren’t making the logistic staff into soldiers. The military training can just be them firing a gun and nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we really arming the logistic staff?\" Houqin questioned as doubts appeared written all over her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it is necessary, I don’t see why not. After all, they are still a military department that could often counter a difficult environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Hua’s face now filled with doubt as well, Xiaoyun doubled down as an idea popped up in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, I’m not asking them to use a whole machine gun strapped to a truck. They are just given a pistol in case they need to defend themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hua, imagine you had a pistol for self-defense when those stray animals attack you. Do you think those animals would have run away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it for a bit, Yu Hua nodded her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That definitely would have helped...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Look, it’s just a pistol training that even a child can do, nothing else. No machine gun or hard physical exercises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both of them on the verge of siding with him, he added one last reason that pushed them over the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More importantly, we can do this for free if you think about it. Just send the workers to Yiming or whoever their local military command is at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sure they are more than happy to train them when they have nothing else better to do with no military operations going on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, you really are a genius.\" Yu Hua complimented Xiaoyun as she couldn’t see any flaws in his argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... Houqin, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t see any issues with it... Once I go back to Luoping, I’ll start making a notice for the logistic staff to opt in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Opt in? It should just be mandatory. You already know they aren’t going to opt in for extra work for themselves.\" Xiaoyun immediately argued back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess that’s true... Okay then, I’ll make it mandatory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1541,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.885Z",1,"novelbin.me","0579a481d83c0bf1a99516ae1ca7784b255f43b158f0e84d6e7696e8d0be4efe","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-517","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-516",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
