Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Two days has passed since the coup attempt.

Yezi and Yiming started suggesting expanding the military to sent out another rescue mission to find Xiaoyun, but Yuqi rejected.

”It’s going to make people think Xiaoyun’s mission failed. I can’t do that.” Yuqi argued back to the two.

The two pleaded to Yuqi to consider it again, but Yuqi stood firm in her stance.

But soon Yuqi was starting to getting more and more impatient as Xiaoyun’s entire army haven’t send back any signal or calls at all.

Just as she was about to accept defeat and go with the two’s plan, her phone suddenly rang just as she got inside the office.

Yuqi pulled out her phone, only to see Xiaoyun calling her.

”Hey babe! What took you so long!” Yuqi voice sounded extremely worried.

”It’s a long story, I’ll explain it later... Can you make everyone in the town to stand beside the road?” Xiaoyun asked.

”Okay, but when are you coming back?”

”In three hour. Make sure everyone in the town is at the entrance or at the wall okay? It’s a surprise.” Xiaoyun stated it again.

”Okay okay. I’ll sent out a notice to pause all work just for you.” As Yuqi finished speaking, Xiaoyun hung up the phone on his side.

”Was that Xiaoyun?” Nami and Shuli both looked excited at Yuqi.

”Yeah... he’s about to be back in three hour. He want us to organize everyone to the or the road at the entrance.” Yuqi replied.

”Well let’s go do that right now!” Nami immediately jumped into action.

Just as Yuqi passed out the mandate for everyone to go to the wall and the road, about three hours has passed.

”When are they coming back again?” Leyan impatiently asked.

”He called me again earlier... it should be three minute from now.” Yuqi replied back.

”Look! There’s something in the distance!” Yueyue pointed in the horizon.

As the sun slowly moved in the hot sky, people started to get a little impatient.

Just as the people standing in the road started to get tired, suddenly the people on the wall started screaming.

”What is that!” Several hundred people screamed out the same thing in shock.

”That’s my uncle!” A boy pointed at one of the soldiers sitting on the roof of an IFV.

It was Xiaoyun’s entire army arriving back to the home.

”Everyone, this your moment!” Xiaoyun gave one last message in the walkies talkie as he opened the hatch and looked outside.

Xiaoyun could see the walls full of people as he got closer to the gates. He started waving towards the crowd as the crowd started cheering.

”Honey is right there!” Leyan pointed at Xiaoyun in the front.

”Where did they got all these armored vehicles?” Yuqi mumbled.

”As long as he got back home safely, that the only thing I care about.” Nami jumped in the air in excitement.

”Wuli is next to Xiaoyun!” Shuli noticed the person next to Xiaoyun.

---

As Xiaoyun drove pass the gates, people below the walls finally could see what was happening.

”Holy shit when did we got tanks?” A bystander looked in shock.

”It’s not a tank, it’s an AFV.” Yiming pointed out as he stood in the middle of the crowd.

”I have no clue what that mean, but this thing look impressive.” Another bystander chimed in.

”Everyone please stay back, you do not want to get run over by that on accident right?” The police started pushing back the crowd a little back as people was curious of the cars.

”Hey Xiaoyun!” Yueyue noticed Xiaoyun at the front as she pulled a tape to hold back the crowd’s excitement.

Xiaoyun and Wuli both waved back to Yueyue as the AFV drove pass the crowd and started heading toward the makeshift parking lot next to the training field.

----

After all the buses and trucks got back to the training field at the end of the military vehicle, all the soldiers got off alongside Xiaoyun.

”Everyone can take a break! Come back tomorrow, I’ll have a gift for you all.” Xiaoyun yelled out to the soldiers as he got up the stage.

”Yes sir!” All the soldiers replied enthusiastically as they felt honored when driving pass all the civilians cheering for them.

Yiming and Yezi walked up to Xiaoyun. as all the soldiers including Wuli left the training field.

Yiming and Yezi walked up to Xiaoyun standing at the training field.

”How did you get all these IFV and AFV?” Yiming curiously asked.

”It’s from the 1st brigade. They gave us this as a gift since they couldn’t drove all of it.” Xiaoyun gave short summary.

”Are the 1st brigade safe now?” Yiming voice sounded urgent as he asked again.

”And what about the water plant?” Yezi added.

”The water plant is secured now. And for the 1st brigade... they were experimented on, we were only able to save one hundred of them.” Xiaoyun looked a little down as he wished he went earlier.

”It’s okay Xiaoyun, at least you saved the most you could.” Yiming patted Xiaoyun in the back.

”What do you mean by experimented on? Like human experiment?” Yezi curiously asked.

”You’ll see... they are still in that truck right now.” Xiaoyun walked all the way to the truck and opened the door.

Inside were almost hundred people inside all tied up.

”They are the scientist?” Yezi noticed the lab coat all of them wears.

”Yes... they pretty much all have bloods on their hands.” Xiaoyun explained.

”What are you going to do with them?” Yiming raised his voice as he asked the question.

”Don’t worry, they’ll all be on trial for what they had done. I just need to set out the guideline for the trial and read over the data that each one of them had done.” Xiaoyun reassured Yiming.

”Speaking of prisoners... you know since you left there has been a coup?” Yezi finally brought it up.

”A coup?” Xiaoyun looked confused by it.

”Yes, a coup. If if wasn’t for Yuqi, all of us would probably be held hostage and be bargaining chip when you come back.” Yezi pointed out.

”Yuqi?” Xiaoyun looked surprise by Yezi’s mention of her.

”Yeah, she found out there was a organized coup in the militia that wanted to take over for themselves. Luckily she was able to expand the police force to arrest them before they got to the armory.” Yiming explained it for Xiaoyun this time.

Xiaoyun was in complete silent, but his face was frowning as Yiming finished speaking.

”How many militia members joined?” The two could notice Xiaoyun’s voice sounded a little different.

”Around five hundred total. The two that lead the coup got away.” Yezi replied.

”I know I’m responsible for this... but please don’t go too harsh on them. Most of them are still young and just didn’t think right.” Yiming suddenly bowed down in front of Xiaoyun.

”Yiming it’s not your fault. You’re not responsible for their action, they have their own free will and they chose to rebel.”

Xiaoyun tried to supported Yiming back up, but Yiming refused to get back up.

”Fine, I promise I will go lenient on them.” Xiaoyun gave in to Yiming’s request.

”Thank you... I have one last request.” Yiming asked again.

”What is it?” Xiaoyun was started to get a little annoyed.

”Can you fire me? I... don’t deserve to be a commander.” Yiming looked a little ashamed as he looked down.

”That’s one thing I can’t do. Yiming I still need you. This town needs you.” Xiaoyun immediately pushed back against that idea.

”Yeah Yiming, you aren’t their babysitter, you don’t need to blame yourself for their action.” Yezi agreed with Xiaoyun’s reply.

Yiming looked at the two in silent as he seem to still unable to excuse himself over the coup.

”Yiming, as the commander in chief, I order you to take a two week break.” Xiaoyun saluted toward Yiming.

”Yes sir.” Yiming wanted to argue back, but accepted the break and saluted back.

As Yiming left the training field, Xiaoyun asked Yezi something.

”Where are all the militia that rebelled?”

”In the police station’s jail cell... what are you going to put these scientist?” Yezi asked back.

”In a jail cell for now... I need to go to the office to sort this out tomorrow.” Xiaoyun pulled out his phone to call Li Zhen.

”Hey boss, that military parade was amazing!” Li Zhen voice sounded excited.

”Thanks. Can you sent few police squads? I need you to hold onto some people until I can rewrite the law code.”

”No problem, I’ll send them right now.” Li Zhen replied back.

”By the way, good job on stopping the coup.” Xiaoyun complimented.

”Thank you boss. But Mrs.Yuqi was the one that deserve all the credit.”

”You still deserve the credit... also come to the office tomorrow. I need to talk to you about something.”

”Yes boss.” Hearing Li Zhen finish speaking, Xiaoyun hung up the phone.
