We had reached the peak altitude!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the pilot said it out loud, Fei Tian quickly headed over to the door before opening it, causing a massive wind to flow inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander! Stand here! I need to make sure all the hatches are properly attached to each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun stretched out his arms and legs as Fei Tian quickly attached several metal clips to his heavily strapped red clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, everything is secured... Commander, take a look outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong gust of wind immediately hits Xiaoyun in the face, forcing him to take a step back as Fei Tian slowly puts a pair of goggles over his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you scared of height, Commander?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get ready, you need to jump out on three!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun waited and waited as the strong wind continued to blow into the helicopter. When the number finally reached zero, he took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything faded into the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes couldn’t see anything. He couldn’t feel any part of his body. Yet, his heart was beating faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander! Are you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fei Tian shook his arm, the darkness disappeared. What felt like thousands of pounds against his body was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here! I’m here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun freely moves his limbs in celebration as he cannot hide his excitement. It was his first time experiencing something so extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, we’re about to parachute!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices were completely ignored as the loud wind overshadowed them. Still, Xiaoyun could see the ground was approaching closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, the rapid descent suddenly jerked him upward as the several strings attached to Fei Tian’s back expanded fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, can you tell when to release the parachute from the ground visuals?\" Fei Tian questioned as the descent slowed down dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, I’m not sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Tian let out a small sigh as the two of them slowly landed on the empty grass field, with the helicopter already landing on the helipad in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like we’re going to have a long day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, what took you so long today?\" Leyan questioned as she helped Xiaoyun carry his briefcase over to the hanger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just working on my speech.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were you really working on your speech? Or did you ditch it for something else? I went to your office when I was leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two of them walked into the living room, Yuqi and Nami were both sitting on the sofa with their babies napping in their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I went outside to gather some material for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun took a seat on the sofa, he quickly noticed Nami staring at his head the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your hair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My hair?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out his phone, Xiaoyun soon saw what Nami was staring at. Most of his hair was standing upright as if he had hair gel all over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, it was a pretty windy day today. Leyan, have you finished cooking dinner yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. We’re just waiting for you to get back home. Nami, can you go call everyone to come out for dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lily running up the stairs, Leyan turned over to the other two, who were both fully seated on the sofa with no signs of getting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you two still sitting here for? You two not hungry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m actually a little full. Had a lot of food during lunch.\" Yuqi answered as she closed her eyes completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xaoyun, you’re the person who asked me about dinner. Don’t tell me you’re full as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My leg is a little tired from all the walking today. Just give me a second, I’ll go to the kitchen later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staring down at them for a bit, Leyan couldn’t tell anything fishy between them. In her eyes, they were genuinely tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tired face from work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Monday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lily exited the car and headed into the university, Xiaoyun quickly shifted the car’s gear into reverse before driving out of the parking space\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While driving on the streets, there were more and more mopeds driving by. All of them were in the bike lane that was fenced off from the main road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them even wore military uniforms, with backpacks and rifles fully exposed in public as curious bystanders in the streets watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morning, Commander!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the soldiers sitting in the back of a moped saluted after noticing Xiaoyun sitting in his car at a red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morning... Hey, what are you all doing in the open streets?\" Xiaoyun curiously asked after rolling down his windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr.Secretary wanted us to practice a new strategy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light turned green, the lone moped that had stopped by the light quickly sped off to catch up with its peer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiaoyun’s mind was getting a little intrigued by what the strategy the soldiers were talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loud bus horn quickly snapped Xiaoyun back into reality as he quickly pressed the gas pedal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After driving down for a bit, he took out his phone and gave Fei Tian a call, then headed over to the logistics department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he entered the Command Center, Yiming was already there with several officers sitting beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard’s voice quickly drew everyone’s attention over to the entrance as they saw Xiaoyun walking in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What brought you here, Commander-in-Chief?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yiming, have Lingang and Han Bang come back yet?\" Xiaoyun asked as he took a seat across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of them are going to be here by tomorrow morning... Is there something on your mind?\" Yiming asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just drove past a bunch of soldiers on a moped. What’s all that about? I don’t remember that was written in the plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that. An officer suggested that idea. We aren’t actually going to use that, but we’re just testing it for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Testing? What is there to be testing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, a moped only uses electricity rather than oil. And it’s extremely mobile with some basic modifications to its gears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yiming paused for a second, then looked over to one of the officers at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Jin, you want to explain your idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure... Ahem, Commander, I had this idea while I was on a combat mission in an uncleared street in Zhaoqing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the officer flipped the chart paper back to the first page, Xiaoyun could see a detailed specification of a moped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From its typical max speed of 56 kph, or 35 mph, to its relatively low noise level compared to a car, and its friendliness to beginner drivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were observing a record number of survivors who were able to get past the zombie blockade through the use of mopeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This got us thinking, what if we used a moped in the city as well? It would be much easier to navigate through blocked roads from the outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We first tested this in a small mission group under Colonel Lin Tao. It had somewhat limited success due to the battery degradation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other factors, like lack of protection against mutants, especially against the occasional splitter, made it impractical to be used in actual combat missions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flipping to the next page, Xiaoyun sees a whole new specification of a moped. A much faster and bigger moped that looked more like a motorcycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As we finished Zhaoqing and started heading towards Yanfu, many of the supply trucks couldn’t drive through the broken roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than waiting for the road to be repaired, General Yezi decided to approve Colonel Lin Tao’s push to use mopeds to transport some of the supplies instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately for us, the logistics department was able to find stashes of much stronger mopeds that could push past the difficult terrains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm... So, transporting goods with the mopeds?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s what we had been doing to travel across from Yanfu to Maoming. We had been setting up power stations along the road here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third page, Xiaoyun could see a detailed map of red dots and blue lines scattered throughout various roads to Maoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although it can’t really address all the supplies we needed, it still can alleviate some supply demand on the western front.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jin paused for a second, then flipped to the fourth page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Colonel Lin Tao felt more could be done with the moped. He felt there were actual ways to use the moped effectively in combat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just said it’s impractical in combat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that hasn’t changed. General Yezi openly rejected the Colonel’s request for another combat trial with the moped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, both of them felt there was some value to that idea, which is why they sent me back to discuss it with General Yiming——I mean Mr.Secretary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wang Jin looked back over to Yiming, he cleared his throat for a second before speaking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think Colonel Lin Tao has a point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1511,"2026-06-10T06:59:56.420Z",1,"novelbin.me","171e64be3ae3ee9e5033af3cef6764679dcbe17111e40b33be44035499e3204e","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-632","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-631",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
