Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

After further consideration, Yuqi rejected Shuli’s suggestion.

”You’re right... but we still can’t tell Yezi or Yiming about it.”

”Why?” Shuli face was in bewilderment

”Because the people who are planning this coup are most likely tracking where we are going... even Yezi or Yiming might be watched by them.” Yuqi explained her thought process.

Shuli agreed with Yuqi’s argument but the two fell back into silent as they couldn’t come up with a plan.

After sitting still for almost thirty minute, Nami finally came back.

”What’s wrong? Why do you two look so worried?” Nami curiously asked.

”Look at this.” Yuqi handed the letter to Nami.

”Militia coup in three days... What? This can’t be real.” Nami put the letter back down on the desk as her face was in complete shock.

”That’s what I though too, but it can’t be a coincident that Xiaoyun also took all the soldiers to the mission... Only the militias are left defending the town.” Yuqi explained what she had discussed with Shuli earlier..

As the three sat in silent, Shuli suddenly had an idea.

”Maybe we can expand the police force.” Shuli remember the police force had recently moved under the civilian government.

”But wouldn’t the militias notice this?” Nami immediately argued back.

”Hm... I didn’t think of that.” Shuli nodded in acknowledgement.

As the two fell into silent again, Yuqi suddenly stood up.

”Wait, I think that’s a perfect idea.” Yuqi pulled out a piece of paper.

”What do you mean?” Nami asked as she and Shuli both looked confused at Yuqi.

”Well our population has been almost reaching fourteen thousand, so we can use the excuse that the police force is running short.” Yuqi pointed at the data sheet.

”Then we can arm the police for security reason and the militia won’t suspect it that we are preparing it against them. To them it will just be a regular expansion plan.”

The two nodded in agreement as they couldn’t come think of any flaw with the plan.

”Well then it’s decided. Time to start writing a draft.”

Just the time was about to hit noon, Nami moved through the crowd at the paycheck booth to put a recruitment poster onto the news billboard.

”Mrs. Nami, what’s this about?” A man walked up to Nami just as she was about to leave.

”It’s a police recruitment poster. Since there’s been a massive population jump, we need more police to patrol the streets and stop petty crimes.” Nami explained.

”Thank you.” The man turned around and left the area.

After leaving the area, the person walked for few minute and opened a door to a house, where three people were sitting inside discussing something.

”Chen Gang, any news from them?” The oldest person in the room asked.

”They’re recruiting more police officer... but they don’t seem to be targeting us.” Chen Gang closed the door as he got inside the house.

”That good to hear... Has Renqin agreed to join us?” The other person in the room asked.

”Renqin said no. He said that all the buses are set predetermined.” Chen Gang replied back.

”Shit. We’re going to need to find a different way... He didn’t know what we are doing right?” The old man asked to make sure.

”Yes, I only told him that we were planning to use the buses as transport training equipment.” Chen Gang replied as he sat down on a chair.

”Ma Tian, how many people do you got on board with this?”

”Around five hundred people... most of them are unfit though.” The oldest replied back to Chen Gang’s question.

”Liu Ping, you got all the weapon ready right?” Chen Gang looked over to the third person in the room.

”Yeah, I got access to the armory, and I already bribed the people on duty that night to stay home.” Liu Ping took a out key to show to the two.

”Good, now we just need to wait for two days and we’ll be all set.” Just as Chen Gang finished talking, his phone suddenly rang.

”I’ll be back.” Chen Gang left the house to pick up a call.

”How’s the plan going? Did you got the resource we sent?” A man’s voice came out of the phone.

”Yes I got it, I used it to recruit as much people as possible like you asked. Right now we have five hundred militia members to join the coup. By Thursday we should be able to have at least one thousand.” Chen Gang replied back.

”Good... you said you want to invite two people to join the org?”

”Yes, they had been a great help and I think they can join us.”

”Very well, bring them to base and we’ll examine them.” After the man finished speaking, the call ended.

Meanwhile back in the office.

”Finally we’re almost finish.” Yuqi stretched her back as her shift was about to end.

”Yeah.. Anyway I’ll go pick up Lily right now.” Nami left the office early as she last few piece of paper to Shuli and Yuqi.

After finishing signing and reading few more paper, Shuli and Yuqi were done with today’s work.

”Let’s go home now.” Yuqi got up from her seat.

Shuli got up from her seat as well, and the two left the office.

”Welcome back.” Leyan welcome the two as she opened the door.

”Has Lianrong be a good girl?” Yuqi asked Leyan as she took off her shoe.

”Yeah, she’s been a good. Although she seem to be a little down from not seeing you during lunch.” Leyan replied as the three walked to the living room.

”Today had a lot more work than usual so I couldn’t go back home for lunch.” Yuqi paused for a second, then added.

”Mom... don’t go outside for the next three day okay?”

”Why?” Leyan’s curiously asked as the three got to the sofa where the three babies were playing with each other.

”Some people are having ideas since Xiaoyun left outside...” Yuqi signaled Lianrong to come over.

”Where’s Yueyue?” Shuli asked as she walked over to the two babies.

”She passed the police recruit interview yesterday. She’s a police intern right now... She should be back in a hour or so.” Leyan replied as she took out a book and started reading.

”Mom when did you started reading books?” Yuqi asked as she lowered her blouse and bra to start breastfeeding Lianrong.

”Just a new hobby since the garden is already taken care of and I got nothing better to do at home.”

Suddenly the doorbell ranged.

”I’ll go open it.” Shuli got up and opened the door.

It was Nami holding Lily’s backpack and Lily outside.

”What took you so long?” Shuli asked as Nami somehow came home later than her and Yuqi despite Nami leaving the office first.

”Lily got in a fight, and the teacher wanted to talk to me.” Nami replied as the two walked inside the house.

”What? Lily what happen?” Shuli looked surprised as Lily has always been a good student when she was still the principle at the school.

”Some boy decided to make fun of her, so she and her friends fought them.” Nami replied before Lily could.

”What? Lily are you okay?” Leyan heard what Nami said and walked over to check.

”I’m fine.” Lily looked a little down as she replied back to Leyan.

”Lily...” Nami watched Lily took her backpack back and walked toward her room downstairs.

”Just give her some time. Did you lecture her too much?” Leyan asked Nami.

”I just told her that she shouldn’t fight people just because they talk bad about her. Is that wrong?” Nami looked a little lost.

”It’s not wrong, but the way you saying it make it sound like you’re blaming her. You know you’re the closet to her, so she’s probably just a little upset that you didn’t back her side.” Leyan explained.

After thinking for a bit, Nami realized what went wrong.

”Shit.” Nami regretted what she said earlier.

”It’s okay, she’s understand.” Leyan instinctively patted Nami’s head.

”Leyan really feel like a mom...” Shuli mumbled as she sat back down next to Yuqi.

”Yeah obviously, she already had five kid at this point, she knows how kid’s emotion are like.” Yuqi rolled her eyes from the obvious fact.

The door suddenly opened out of nowhere. It was Yueyue who had came back just from work.

”I’m back!” Yueyue walked inside after hanging her jacket on the coat hanger.

”Welcome back. How’s work today?” Yuqi stood up and walked over to Yueyue with Lianrong in her arm.

”Pretty well. I just got promoted six rank from recruit to Sergent first class. Did you do something?” Yueyue walked over to pick up Qiaolan.

”Nope, I didn’t give any specialty to anyone. But I did send out a plan to expand the police force from one hundred to five hundred.” Yuqi replied.

”Oh...” Yueyue realized she was promoted to fill in the upcoming spots to guide the newcomers.

”What happen to Nami and where’s Lily?” Yueyue returned back to normal as she asked.

”I’m going to go apologize to Lily right now.” Nami walked off the living room.

”They just having a little drama. Don’t worry about it.” Leyan picked up Yongyi as he looked a little lonely.

”Oh okay. Anyway Yuqi why did you hire more police officer?” Yueyue asked as she unbuttoned her shirt to start breastfeeding Qiaolan.

”There might be a militia coup... I need to prepare the police force to be a fighting force.” Yuqi explained.

”A coup?” Yueyue was in shock as Yuqi finished speaking.
