Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"I didn't mean to do it. I was just trying to peck her on the cheek." Xiaoyun panicked as he realized what he had just done.

"I wanted to give brother my first kiss okay? I-It's not his fault. I was the one that moved." Lily clarified.

"Lily you're still too young for this kind of stuff!" Nami grabbed Lily's backpack and held Lily's hand as they walked out of the house.

"They really look like a mother and daughter you know... almost like me worrying about how my daughter might get stolen by a man." Leyan commented as if she wanted to poke fun of Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun realized what Leyan was trying to say and awkwardly scratched his head.

"Anyway, we probably should get going now." Wuli got up from her seat.

"Right." Xiaoyun got up from his seat.

Leyan followed the two walked all the way to the living room and stopped at the doorway.

Xiaoyun turned around to look Leyan in the eye.

"Leyan... take care of the family okay?" Xiaoyun gently caressed Leyan's face.

"I know." Leyan walked closer to Xiaoyun.

The two looked at each other in the eye and kissed.

Unlike the other light kissing on the lip with the four, Xiaoyun and Leyan both started mixing their tongue as they exchanged saliva.

Wuli watches the two passionate make out with each other and suddenly felt a little jealous, but then remember the two had been married almost twenty years now.

"Hey Xiaoyun, we're about to be late." Wuli reminded the two.

The two finally separated as a string of saliva hang down from their mouth.

"Stay safe okay? I'll be waiting at home." Leyan hugged Xiaoyun one last time.

Xiaoyun didn't promise anything this time as he felt uncertain if he didn't want to make a promise that he couldn't keep.

"I'll try my best." Xiaoyun turned around and left with Wuli.

As the two walked on the street, Wuli suddenly held Xiaoyun by the hand.

"Hm?" Xiaoyun looked surprised by Wuli's bold action.

"Y-You said you're going to m-marry Shuli when you come back, t-that include me right?" Wuli nervously asked.

"Of course, why would I separate you two?" Xiaoyun replied.

Wuli's face blushes and the two fell back to silent as they walk to the command center.

Just before they were about to arrive at the command center, Wuli let go of Xiaoyun's hand and turned back to the usual Wuli Xiaoyun is more familiar with.

"Xiaoyun you're finally here... Oh right I was about to call you Wuli." Yiming noticed the two were walking alongside each other as they entered the command center.

"Me?" Wuli noticed all nineteen captains were in the commander center.

"Yes, all the captains rank are here because they will be hearing the plan." Yezi explained.

After finishing explain the plan in detail, with Gantian and Jixi to be promoted as majors to direct the fast response team with the buses and trucks, everyone left the command center to the training field.

All the soldiers were standing there already, waiting in the hot sun patiently.

"Good morning everyone! I know you all had just fought a hard fight few days ago and wondering why everyone is being call up again.

Well I have some bad news. The water that everyone is using is under attack by the zombies. Specifically the 1st army brigade that is guarding the water plants. What should we do about it?"

Xiaoyun paused for a second to let the soldier response instead.

"Help our brother in arm!" One of the soldier yelled out, and the rest yelled the same thing.

"That's what we are going to do. But we don't have transport to fit everyone so it's going to be a two day march, is everyone ready to walk the distance?" Xiaoyun asked loudly.

"Yes sir!" All of them yelled back.

"Good, that's what I like to hear from everyone. Company one to four, report to major Jixi and Gantian in transport lot, everyone else in march formation!" Xiaoyun yelled out as he walked back down stage.

---

Jixi and Gantian drove ahead as the Yezi and Yiming planned to clear the path and to arrive to help the 1st brigade first, while Xiaoyun marched with the other sixteen company on the highway.

"The sun is so damn hot today..." Xiaoyun complained as the sun was slowly setting down.

"It's not that bad." Wuli was right next to Xiaoyun as her company was assigned to serve as the HQ to the other company.

"Maybe it's time to start using battalions... this company system is getting a little too complex to manage." Xiaoyun sighed as he entered the HQ tent where all the captains were already there waiting for further order.

After talking and assigning all the night patrols schedule, all the captain left to go back to their own company.

"Well Yiming has been training us how to be a real officer... I think he is planning to promote some of us to be major to lead the battalions." Lily replied as she moved the fordable table to the side and bring out her sleeping bag.

"I hope so... shit." Xiaoyun looked inside his backpack and suddenly realized he didn't pack a sleeping bag.

"What's wrong?" Wuli looked over to Xiaoyun.

"I forgot to bring my sleeping bag... Look like I'm sleeping on the ground." Xiaoyun took off his jacket to make a pillow and laid down on the floor.

"We can share sleeping bag if you want..." Wuli face blushes as she suggested it.

"Nah, it's fine I can just sleep on the ground, it will be too cramped inside if I did that." Xiaoyun rejected her offer.

"O-Okay." Wuli didn't argue back and went inside her sleeping bag.

After laying down for a long time, Xiaoyun still couldn't fall asleep as the ground was simply too rough to sleep in.

Xiaoyun got up and left the tent to breathe some fresh air.

The sky was all dark but clear with no cloud, with the only light coming from the moon.

After standing outside for few minute, Xiaoyun decided to go check the soldiers in night patrol.

After walking for one minute, Xiaoyun arrived at the first one.

The night patrol soldiers was still wide awake as they stood their guard.

"Good evening sir!" The soldiers saluted toward Xiaoyun.

"Good evening. You guys are not sleepy at all?" Xiaoyun asked as he saluted back.

"No sir, we just started our shift." One of them responded.

"That's good to hear." Xiaoyun replied and left to check on the next one.

The next few was the exact same thing until he got to the fifth one.

The entire night patrol squad was asleep on the ground.

"Hey! Wake up!" Xiaoyun patted their face, but they don't show any sign of waking up.

Xiaoyun created a bottle of cold water and pour it over their face.

"Shit! Who the fuck is doing that? Oh sorry sir!" All of them were finally awake and apologized.

"I don't want to see that happen again... Tell me, what is the punishment for failing to stay up during night duty?" Xiaoyun asked.

"For minor situation, a month without p-paycheck. And for major offense it's c-court martial and f-fired from duty." One of them nervously replied as he barely could talk without stuttering.

"I'll report this as a minor situation, but next time is going to be major offense." Xiaoyun warned.

"Thank you sir!" All of them bowed down in gratitude.

Xiaoyun left to check the other night patrol, and most of them were either wide awake or slowly falling asleep. But most of them at least had one person who was constantly making sure their comrade didn't fall asleep.

Xiaoyun returned back to the HQ tent and laid down on the ground again.

"Where did you go?" Wuli curiously asked as she still haven't sleep yet.

"Just went to go check the night patrol... one of the squad fell asleep." Xiaoyun replied.

"What? Which one was it? I'll go punish them right now." Wuli got out of her sleeping bag.

"No need, they are not your company. I'll report it to Yezi for him to punish them accordingly."

"Okay." Wuli got back inside her sleeping bag.

As the two looked at each other in silent, Wuli decided to bring up something.

"Xiaoyun... d-do you really not mind me being so close to Shuli?"

"Of course not, why would you ask that?" Xiaoyun looked confused by that question.

"I just wanted to make sure... the four of them keep saying I'm a little too close to Shuli... but I don't want to separate from her." Wuli explained her worries.

"Don't worry, they don't mean any harm or asking you to leave her... I don't really mind even if you two suddenly start kissing each other you know." Xiaoyun suddenly bought it up.

"What? We are not that close... Why would we kiss each other?" Wuli was confused by Xiaoyun's suggestion.

"I don't know, maybe because the four of them sometime accidentally kiss each other when they doing it together with me... so you really don't need to worry about that." Xiaoyun reassured Wuli.

"Wait what?" Wuli looked surprised.

"Yeah, you know they are sisters and mothers. I'm not going get upset over a mother kissing their daughter or kissing their sisters out of kindness..." Xiaoyun explained again.

"Oh right I almost forgot, I can just create a sleeping bag." Xiaoyun facepalm himself as a sleeping bag appeared in his right hand.

Wuli's face blushes as she was just about to offer Xiaoyun to sleep in her sleeping bag again.

"Anyway, time to sleep now... Goodnight." Xiaoyun yawned as he got inside the sleeping bag.

"Goodnight..." Wuli soon fell asleep again.
