Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

When Xiaoyun woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.

”My back arc so much... man I smell so bad.” Xiaoyun stretched his back a little and stood back up.

After going to the restroom to take a shower and freshening up, Xiaoyun left the house and walked toward the wall first.

The fire had been put out already, however the forest that used to covered the wall and the city was virtually all gone.

They could see the road that lead to the city outskirt, as well as the skyscraper in the far distance.

”Well there’s no more hiding at this point...” Xiaoyun sighed as the only defense between the city and is now gone.

”You know, it could also be a opportunity for us. Now we don’t have to constantly hide to others. We can be much more aggressive in our expansion.” Yezi voice came up.

”When did you get here?” Xiaoyun turned around to see Yezi behind him.

”Yeah I’m here the whole time, you just didn’t see me when you were coming up here... Anyway you slept already?” Yezi asked.

”Yeah, just slept for around six hours I think. Feel pretty refreshed now.” Xiaoyun stretched out again.

”That good to hear... anyway I was planning to tell you about something.” Yezi handed Xiaoyun a piece of paper.

”This... is a map?” Xiaoyun noticed Luoping in the center and Qijing as a point in the left.

”Yes, few weeks ago I had sent a scouting mission to scout the entire area around the city and an alternative way to connect the city and the town...

If you look over here, we could build a road that could directly connect the two place without the risk of needing using the highway... but its going to cut straight through this massive forest.” Yezi pointed on the map.

”Hm... I’ll tell Yuqi about this.” Xiaoyun hesitated as he considered the manpower needed to built this long road in densely packed forest.

”Trust me, you will want to build this. The highway outside is too risky as it can be attacked at any point. The strategic value simply is just beyond measurable.”

”Don’t worry, she will agree to it.” Xiaoyun reassured Yezi.

”Oh I almost forgot, the three Russian had made a RPG.” Xiaoyun handed Yezi the paper.

”RPG? Oh man this gonna be real useful against those tanks mutants.” Yezi read over the paper.

”Well there is some bad news... they don’t know how to make the rocket. Only the launcher.” Xiaoyun explained.

”Oh... well I’m sure I can talk to Yiming and make something work.” Yezi put the paper inside his pocket.

”I’m gonna go to the training field to tell Yiming right now, you want to come?” Yezi left to the training field.

”Nah, I still got to tell Yuqi your plan, and a lot of office work left to decide.” Xiaoyun waved goodbye and left for the administrative building.

When Xiaoyun got to the office, it was already near the end of the shift as people started packing up.

Xiaoyun opened the office door and sees both Yuqi and Shuli next to each other discussing something, with Nami, Yueyue, and Leyan on the side writing something.

And the other side was the three baby on the sofa drawing random scribble.

”Oh hey Xiaoyun.” Nami waved at Xiaoyun.

All of them turned and looked at Xiaoyun standing at the door.

”Oh hey!” The other three waved at Xiaoyun, except for Shuli as she looked down toward the floor.

”What’s you guys all doing here?” Xiaoyun curiously asked as he sat down next to the three babies.

”Us three are in a contest for who can draw the best map for a new city layout.” Leyan replied.

”Us two are the judge and deciding which one to go with.” Yuqi replied next.

”New city layout?” Xiaoyun got confused by their statement.

”Yeah... we are planning to just keep expanding the city instead of making a separate town that far away. That experiment clearly failed considering we had to house all of them every time a zombie outbreak happen.

It just better to concentrate the population. The sewage and administration issues can just be dealt with by more zoning and expanding the departments.

So we are going to keep expanding south and west until we either reach the sea or we expand all the way to Qijing.” Yuqi explained her plan.

”Hm... seem like a pretty good idea. Well look like this plan isn’t needed at all then.” Xiaoyun put’s Yezi’s map onto the table.

”Wait, this map so different from ours! So much more detailed and everything. Why didn’t we have this earlier!” Yuqi stood up in excitement.

”Yezi finish scouting the entire area, so he just got this map done.” Xiaoyun replied to Yuqi’s question.

”Now we know exactly where not to expand and what exact outline we are going to face expanding.” Yuqi handed the map to Shuli.

”Oh this is good. But um, you guys might need to redraw all your city layout again.” Shuli brought out the bad news as she read over the map.

”Not again!” All three of them sighed as they scrapped their paper and walked over to see the map.

”What! There’s a hill here? And a mountain! And a small lake here!” All three of them took turn point it out as they looked in shock at the map.

”Whatever, look like we are going to do this tomorrow.” Nami took a short glance at the clock.

”I can draw this, you guys can go home early and go pick up Lily.” Xiaoyun suggested.

”You sure?” All five of them looked worried as Xiaoyun had been working almost for entire week now.

”It’s fine, I’ll come back home later when dinner is cooked. I just slept for entire afternoon. Don’t worry about it.” Xiaoyun reassured the five of them.

”Okay then...” All of them folded and left with the babies.

Now Xiaoyun was all alone in the office, as all the office worker’s shift has also ended.

Xiaoyun sat down on Yuqi’s seat and started reading over old drafts that the three wrote, then looked over at the maps.

After drawing for an entire hour, Xiaoyun was finally finish with a rough draft.

It combined all three of their element of their layout, with Nami’s efficient roads design, Yueyue’s zoning of each district, and Leyan’s mostly finished layout that was much better than the two.

Xiaoyun put the draft into the drawer and left the office building.

When Xiaoyun arrived at the temporary house and opened the door, everything inside was empty, except with a sticky note at the wall.

”The house is finish constructing! We all moved back home!” Xiaoyun could tell it was Nami’s handwriting.

Xiaoyun went over to the other temporary house and it was the exact same thing, but this time it was Yuqi’s handwriting.

Xiaoyun walked back home and just as he expected, all the construction roadblock was gone.

The house still looked mostly the same, except now garage had a second floor, as well as more building on top of the laundry and behind it as well.

As Xiaoyun opened the door, multiple suitcases were on the floor.

”Hey you’re back.” Wuli was standing at the stairway with her suitcase.

”You moving in with Shuli?” Xiaoyun asked.

”Um... o-our old house was used by you guys, then it got distributed to an new family now. So we just moving here temporary. I-I just got off work.” Wuli face blushes.

”You guys don’t have to move. If will be better if you guys stay.” Xiaoyun suggested.

”N-No thanks.” Wuli immediately replied.

Just as the two finished talking, Yueyue came down.

”Oh hey you’re back. We’re just moving our stuff back into our rooms, mom and Yuqi is cooking dinner right now.” Yueyue signaled Wuli to follow her.

”Okay, I haven’t see how the houses expanded yet.” Xiaoyun followed behind Wuli.

”You’ll be shocked when you see it.” Yueyue commented.

After they got upstairs, it was still the same hallway. Except Nami’s room was completely abolished into hallway toward the left side of the house.

At the end of the left hallway was four brand new rooms.

”Two of these room are still empty. Nami is in this one while Shuli is in this one.” Yueyue pointed at the two room at the left side.

”I-I can share room with Shuli.” Wuli replied without any hesitation.

”Okay.” Yueyue opened Shuli’s door, revealing Shuli still unpacking her suit case.

”Oh hey guys. Wuli you’re back!” Shuli ran up to Wuli as she put the cloths on her bed.

”Yeah I just got off work.” Wuli hugged Shuli.

”Xiaoyun... you really got the two of them? They look more like a couple... you sure they aren’t l-lesbian?” Yueyue whispered.

”Y-Yeah I-I got both of them...” Xiaoyun wiped the sweat off his head as he thought back to last week with the two on the bed.
