Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

”All the scientist will stand trial.” Xiaoyun gave his answer.

”Thank you so much!”

Meanwhile all the scientist were in disbelief as the soldiers thanks Xiaoyun.

”What? You can’t do this to us, we are the only ones that can end this zombie apocalypse. Don’t you want to live longer or even reach immortality?” One of senior scientist spoke up.

Xiaoyun paused for a second as he seriously considered the offer, but then rejected it.

”The zombies apocalypse isn’t just going to end from some scientist, society has already collapsed now. Also I’m not going to chase a cure that requires people to die.”

”Immortality is a curse anyway...” Xiaoyun thought back to letter from himself in another universe.

----

After getting back up from the basement, Xiaoyun had many things to do.

First, he issued all the soldiers to help lift everything out of the lab and putting them all outside.

Then made all the scientist tied up to the back of the truck as there was simply too much data to go through to see who’s guilty of any crime yet.

Now Xiaoyun only had one last worry in the water plant.

”Where do you guys want to go?” Xiaoyun looked over to the remaining one hundred soldiers from the 1st brigade.

”We’re planning to head toward the Southern Theater first.” An senior officer stepped up among his peer to reply back.

”You sure? I heard Southern Theater is in major trouble right now dealing with zombies attack just like these. You guys only have one hundred people.” Xiaoyun warned.

”We don’t have anywhere else to go, this place is about to run out of food in a month.” The officer brought up his concern.

”How about you guys join us? We are always looking for more people to join.” Xiaoyun offered them an invite.

The senior officers turned around and chatted with the soldiers for a short moment, then turned back to Xiaoyun.

”We still want to go back the Southern Theater first... all of us have families there. We need to bring the news back to our fallen brother’s family.”

Xiaoyun didn’t pursue any further and let them go.

”Good luck on your journey... You guys can take all the food by the way, we don’t need it.” Xiaoyun pointed at the stack of food that was carried out from the lab.

”You sure?” The senior officer looked shock by the offer.

”Yes I’m sure of it. This amount of food would barely make a dent back in our base.” Xiaoyun shrugged.

”Thank you so much! We just can’t thank you enough for this...”

One of the soldiers walked up to the senior officer and whispered something.

”Wait here for a second.” The senior officer and all other soldiers walked toward the other side of the water plant.

After waiting for twenty minute, Xiaoyun’s face and all his soldiers were in complete disbelief as they saw what was being driven toward them.

It was rows upon rows of armored vehicle driving toward them.

”Are these tanks?” Wuli curiously asked Jixi.

Most of Xiaoyun’s army was thinking the same question, even Xiaoyun himself was just as confused.

”No, these are are Type 05 amphibious armoured fighting vehicle. The one in the back are type 90 and type 92 infantry fighting vehicle used to transport troops and act as a light armor only. They are an amphibious brigade after all, so they don’t have tank.” Jixi clarified.

Jixi paused for a second as he soon realized something.

”But why didn’t they use this earlier?” Jixi looked confused.

”They were held hostage, you saw me bring them out of the basement earlier right?”

Jixi nodded.

”Long story short, the soldiers that got sent here was used as test subjects by those scientist. By the time we got here, only around a hundred left.”

Jixi was in complete shock as soon as Xiaoyun finished speaking.

”You telling me an entire brigade have only one hundred people left?”

”It’s okay, Mister Xiaoyun had done all the thing he could.” The senior officer got off one of the vehicle.

”As a gratitude for saving us, you must accept these.” The senior officer gave Xiaoyun an offer he couldn’t refuse.

”Thank you.” Xiaoyun bowed down in gratitude.

”No need to thank me, you deserved it... These aren’t all by the way, there are even more in the warehouse.

You guys can keep everything in there. We’ll get going now.” The hundred soldiers got off their IFV and started loading the foods.

After loading all the food into few of the IFV, the soldiers from the military drove off with five type 05 and type 92.

”Well let’s go check the warehouse.” Xiaoyun couldn’t hide his excitement as he waved goodbye to the soldiers.

----

The warehouse had hundreds of artillery lined up and fifteen more type 05 AFVs, as well as hundreds of type 92 and type 90 IFVs. Not to mention all the guns, ammo, and explosive laying inside the crates.

”Well look like we don’t have to worry about transportation now.” Xiaoyun commented as he looked at all the vehicles and weapons.

”Yeah... but the fuels for all these is going to be insane... how are we suppose to get that much to maintain all these to be functional?” Jixi brought it up.

”Don’t worry about it, I got my own method.” Xiaoyun dismissed Jixi’s worry.

”Whatever... I’m going to need to teach them how to drive these before we can use this.”

”Oh right. This isn’t just a car.” Xiaoyun facepalmed himself.

---

A week has passed since the soldier from the military had left.

The cleanup and training at the water plant took much longer than Xiaoyun expected.

After reinforcing the walls and clearing all the zombies at the other entrances, the water plant was finally secured.

”Should we assign someone to stay here?” Xiaoyun asked Jixi.

”No, the only reason the zombies attack here in the first place is human activity. It will be better off if we leave here.” Jixi suggested.

”But what if someone like came by and shut down the water or something? Or poison the water source?” Wuli chimed in.

”How about we set a scout team to routinely check the facility?” Gantian gave his plan.

”Hm... let’s go with Gantian’s plan. From the city to here with a car is only like few hour drives.” Xiaoyun stated his choice.

None of them objected and everyone could finally return home in their new toys.

Meanwhile at the office just as Xiaoyun had left for a day.

”Man... I miss Xiaoyun already.” Yuqi complained as she laid down flat on the office desk.

”Too bad we married someone that going to always be busy like this.” As Nami finished speaking, Shuli’s face started blushing as she thought back to Xiaoyun’s promise.

”Sis, how’s mom’s birthday present going?” Nami asked as she started working.

”Pretty good. I think I can finish it in time before July hits.” Yuqi replied as she started working on her work.

”Nami can you carry this to the agriculture department?” Yuqi handed a paper to Nami.

”Okay.” Nami accepted the paper and left the room.

As Yuqi and Shuli worked quietly in the office, suddenly the door opened.

”Mrs.Yuqi, there’s a package for you.” The office worker put the envelope down on Yuqi’s desk.

”Who gave this to you?” Yuqi questioned the office worker as she carefully examined the envelope.

”A men in black handed it to me... he said only Mrs.Yuqi can read it.”

”Okay, you can leave now.” Yuqi dismissed the office worker as she could tell the envelope only contain a letter inside.

Yuqi opened up the envelope, only to find a single line.

”Militia coup in three days.” Yuqi mumbled the line as she read over it.

”What?” Shuli heard what Yuqi mumbled and immediately ran over to Yuqi to read the letter.

”This has to be a prank. Probably some kindergarten prank.” Yuqi couldn’t believe the letter’s information.

”I think... maybe we should prepare for the worst case scenario.” Shuli suggested.

”Why? There’s no way this can be real.” Yuqi looked at Shuli’s eye as if she’s crazy for believing in it.

”But what if it is? Are we going to be sitting duck? Xiaoyun has left, it would be the best time for a coup...

If we got held hostage, what do you think Xiaoyun is going to do?” Shuli gave a possible scenario/

Yuqi went completely silent as she thought of her and everyone she loved getting kidnapped and being used as an bargaining chip against Xiaoyun.

”You’re right... we should really prepare for it. But how? We’re only the civilian government and the police under our control are barely armed.” Yuqi brought up the issue.

”We should tell this to Yezi and Yiming. Those two are the only one we can trust.” Shuli mentioned.

”Are you sure?” Yuqi felt a little disconnect toward the two.

”Of course we can trust them. Yezi is Xiaoyun’s sworn brother and Yiming have nothing to gain since he’s already too old.” Shuli paused to think what to say next.

”If they want control, they can just coup right now and no one can stop them...” Shuli added.
