I spent a whole month learning it to prepare for our honeymoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What honeymoon are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over at the glass door, Yuqi and Tianci finally came out of the house wearing a whole tracksuit and pants as if they were going for a run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A honeymoon after having you... A shame we went to a Sanya resort only to have your mother too scared to swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, how could you? There’s no way you went to Sanya with him and didn’t even go for a swim!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nami looked back at Leyan with jealousy, both Yuqi’s and Yueyue’s faces suddenly froze as if they remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment... Mom, did you refuse to learn swimming because of the prank he pulled off on you in Hainan?\" Yueyue suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Absolutely not. I never knew how to swim because nobody wanted to teach me, that’s all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What prank are you guys talking about?\" Kate curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You forgot the video? The one that Xiaoyun recorded on his camera as Songming? I remember you were here to watch it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate closed her eyes and tried to remember it, she still struggled to find anything that came close to what she was talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop thinking about it,\" Leyan said with anger as she shook Kate’s arm over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tianci, your burger,\" Anna murmured as she finished making a new burger on the paper plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think she should eat something so oily less than a month after her pregnancy.\" Shuli pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine, it’s not like she’s eating BBQ every day,\" Leyan answered after Tianci looked over to her for permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leyan, come down to the pool with us. You want to prove that you aren’t scared of swimming, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I’m good. I already know how to swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hint of nervousness from Leyan’s rejection made it abundantly clear as everyone let out a small chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Leyan, even I can swim. It can’t be that hard for you. I’m sure you can learn it even faster than I.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, come on. This is your one chance to prove that all the swimming lessons I taught you a year ago haven’t gone to waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. I’ll show you all I can swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily’s and Yuqi’s pressure finally got to Leyan as she quickly took off her blouse and jeans, revealing her white bra and panties underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud splash, Leyan’s entire body started to sink to the bottom before she kicked onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bounce didn’t last long as she struggled to remain above water until Xiaoyun finally decided to swim over to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, stop swinging your legs so hard. All you need to do is spread out your limbs. Your size is wide enough to float by itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leyan stopped panicking and followed his lesson, her head finally managed to stay above water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn’t that hard, was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up. You just called me fat, didn’t you——Mhm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she tried to complain, her body lost balance for a second, causing her head to sink underneath the water once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop talking and focus on floating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfff, Mom is such a bad swimmer.\" Nami jokingly said out loud as everyone else chuckled alongside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I wouldn’t be talking if you’re outside the pool. Nami, do you know how to swim?\" Xiaoyun questioned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I know how to swim. Let me prove it to you right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Nami take off her clothes and jump right into the pool, both Kate and Anna let out a small chuckle as the coldness immediately caused a reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! The water is so cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that cold once you get used to it, sister Nami.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lily swims past Nami and goes for another lap, Leyan has finally managed to float without sinking at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, now start swimming your hand. Just imagine—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what to do. I just haven’t swum for so long.\" Leyan argued, her face looking a little red from embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly moved aside, letting her go free on her own as he watched her swim to the other side in a single breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two! I did it! I told you I know how to swim!\" Leyan yelled as she held onto the ledge on the other side of the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try swimming back and forth without stopping. We’ll admit it and apologize for discrediting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I didn’t say I was going to apologize,\" Yuqi murmured, her mouth busy eating the burger that Anna had made for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust me. Leyan can’t swim back and forth in a single breath like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone watched Leyan swim back from the end side, she managed to perfectly swim back to the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep going, you need to reach the end again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan didn’t say anything back. She kicked her feet off the edge of the pool as she swam towards the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you got it wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every stroke and kick, Leyan was getting closer and closer. But her lower body suddenly started to sink down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm!——Help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly swam across to the other side, helping her stay above as she kept on spitting water out of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck! I was so close!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to turn your head to the side to breathe and time your hand stroke. Stop trying to breathe with only your head up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your chest is too compressed to breathe unless you get used to swimming. Look at Lily, she didn’t blindly copy me and took my lesson to heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Xiaoyun helped Leyan back over to the ledge. Her face blushing red, unable to speak up from the embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, you can’t just brute force swimming like that. Even I know about it.\" Yueyue murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rookie mistake,\" Yuqi added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop rubbing salt on Leyan’s wound. Give her some respect. At least she’s swimming on a cold day, unlike some people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Shuli.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Leyan swam up to the edge of the pool, the phone in Xiaoyun’s pile of clothes suddenly started beeping with a sharp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that noise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate was the first to check as she picked his phone out of his pocket. But soon, she stood still with Xiaoyun’s phone in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit shit shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The panicked expression both alerted and confused everyone. But Kate’s answer only made them even more confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\" Anna questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-There’s a nuke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she finished talking, almost every single one of their phone immediately started beeping with the same sharp noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them quickly got out of the pool as everyone who was out of the pool holding their own phone looked just as shocked as Kate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun could see the message as he snatched his phone back. It was an emergency broadcast message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had clearly been implemented before the outbreak. A nuclear detection that he never even knew existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit shit shit, all of you get inside the basement first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The confused expression on a few of his wives’ faces was answered with an entrance opening next to the hot tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long, dark staircase down to seemingly nowhere, with the inside was pitch black, and had no end in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nami, you remember the password, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to bring everyone inside... What are you all standing here for then? Go take the babies and get inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his wives finally started moving to get the babies, Anna stood still, looking back at Xiaoyun scrolling through his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone has to check the situation. I’m going to be fine. Trust me, I’ll go down when it does happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Anna could speak up again, his other wives had finally brought their babies from inside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, go downstairs. I’ll be there with you guys soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, where are you going?\" Yuqi immediately questioned, not\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to check if it is just a false alarm. Trust me, I’m going to be fine. Nuclear fallout won’t do shit to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun could see the hesitation on their faces, but he gave an eye signal to Leyan, who quickly chimed in with her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let’s move it. Honey can make a hazmat suit for himself if things go south. We need to go now before it’s too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going with you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop being stupid. Listen to Leyan. Yueyue, drag your sister inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yueyue hesitated for a second about whether she wanted to go as well, but she eventually dragged Yuqi down the dark staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing them disappear out of sight, Xiaoyun pressed the button again as the staircase closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surely this is a false alarm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiaoyun could scroll down his contact on his phone, it suddenly started beeping again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, it was a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>",1555,"2026-06-10T06:59:56.420Z",1,"novelbin.me","91351a666b3d03722affe6eb039806c445ea8831159d56a6afa09703d2f3fba5","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-672","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-626",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
