Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Deals with the military



Gantian thought for a second then nodded in agreement.

"Very well, let's go right now."

As the two got up from the seat, Xiaoyun noticed Yezi was still seated.

"You don't want to go?"

"I'm good. I went there too many times already the past few days checking the soldier's looting progress."

"Okay, let's go ourselves right now."

As the two headed out, Kate and Tianci both quickly followed behind.

"Xiaoyun, who's these two people following behind you?" Gantian curiously asked.

"They're my bodyguard... Don't underestimate them just because they're a woman thought. Kate is a former U.S. government agent, and Tianci can probably beat you with one hand."

Hearing Xiaoyun's response, Gantian was a little shocked.

"Government agent? And beating me one-handed? You sure you didn't get tricked?"

"Yiming himself knows Kate. And if you want to test Tianci, you can go for it right now."

The two stopped at Xiaoyun's car as Gantian put his backpack inside it.

"Let's test it right now then. I'm curious how she can beat me one-handed."

Gantian readied his fighting position as Tianci looked over to Xiaoyun, who gave her a signal to continue.

"Don't go too hard on him."

Gantian got a little angry after hearing Xiaoyun's words, as he felt Xiaoyun was disrespecting him.

Soon enough, he realized why Xiaoyun had said it.

"I'm going to start——"

As Gantian threw in a punch, Tianci held onto his fist one-handed.

Gantian tried to move his fist back, only to find the grip was so hard that he couldn't pull out at all.

But it didn't stop him as Gantian quickly reacted by punching Tianci's left arm, forcing her to let go of his hand.

"Fuck, that hurts!" Gantian screamed out in pain as his attempt to block Tianci's punch was practically useless.

He almost got knocked down onto the floor just from the pure strength of Tianci's single punch.

Seeing Gantian still holding on, Tianci ended it by kicking Gantian in the shin before he could even react.

"Okay, that's enough."

Xiaoyun quickly ended the fight as he helped Gantian back up.

"Geez, how does she punch that hard and kick that fast? She barely has any muscle."

Gantian complained as the pain he felt almost felt like he was run over by a truck.

"I told you she could just beat you one-handed." Xiaoyun rolled his eyes as he and Gantian got inside the back of the car.

"She used her legs... But you're right. She's way stronger than me... How do you even find these people?"

Gantian curiously asked as Kate got inside the driver seat and Tianci sat in the passenger seat.

"Just luck, I guess."

When they arrived at the city center, they couldn't find a single zombie in sight.

Nor did they find any zombie on their way to the city.

Instead, they saw several groups of Xiaoyun's soldiers loading materials and loot into the back of a truck as they drove past them.

"You see what I mean? I just need to clear the Northern part of Guangzhou completely and the Western side that's connected to Foshan." Xiaoyun pointed out.

"I...I'm just stunned. Can you tell me how you clear the city?" Gantian asked.

"Just a lot of firepower... Does Shaoguan have any factory or production lines for ammos?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"Yes, but since we don't have a blueprint or a real gun engineer, all the guns and ammo we make have around thirty percent of failing... We had just been using the old stockpile instead."

"That's your guy's issue. I have a whole production line that can replenish all the used ammo and keep killing the zombies until they are gone."

"Easier said than done. You have actual gun engineers to design and make them. We had to do it blindly and rely on trial and error." Gantian argued.

"Not my fault. Anyway, let's stop here and go back now."

Xiaoyun ended the trip as they had been driving around Guangzhou for over thirty minutes at this point.

When they returned to Luoping, Xiaoyun sent Gantian to a hotel in the trading zone to rest for a day before returning to Shaoguan.

As the sun was about to set, Xiaoyun called for an emergency meeting just as most people were about to get off work.

"Sorry for calling everyone to attend this meeting so late, but I have an announcement to make."

Xiaoyun paused for a second as he looked over everyone for their reaction.

Han Bang and Li Miao were both on a mission, with one at Qingyuan and the other at Qijing.

All the Majors, along with Zhen Ren and Wuli, looked concerned except Lingang, who was relaxed.

Meanwhile, on the other side were the Yuqi and Shuli.

All three of them were looking a little concerned as they were a little caught off guard by the meeting being at the command center.

"Some of you might still remember, but we used to have an old comrade that had fought alongside us..."

Everyone at the table got a little confused except Yezi, who knew what the whole meeting was for.

"The military at Shaoguan... Yiming now leads them."

Almost everyone's face emotion suddenly changed as they couldn't believe the info that was revealed.

"Major Yiming?" Lingang excitedly asked to make sure.

"Yes, but you should all call him General Yiming now. He's now the head commander of the Southern Theater."

Almost everyone fell into shock again, as they couldn't believe a friend had now led their biggest enemy.

"That's good news, no?" Yuqi curiously asked.

"It's good news indeed. And they even requested to join us... But I rejected it."

"Why?" Wuli asked the question in everyone's mind.

"They currently have one hundred thousand civilians. Not to mention thirty thousand soldiers stationed there."

"That's a lot of people..." Shuli murmured as she couldn't imagine that many people moving into Luoping.

"Exactly. So, I'm not planning to let them move in. Instead, I'll send people over to recruit people with skilled labor. In return, we just need to pay Yiming food to relocate them.

Also, I had talked to their representative, and they are willing to hand over their civilian part of the government and let us run it... Which means we need someone to go over and help them manage it."

"I know several administrators who can fill that job. But they're going to need to be able to recruit local people to work under them." Yuqi added.

"I'm sure Yiming will send people to help them... Besides that, I promised him to send over ten thousand people worth of food at once."

"Wait, right now?" Yuqi asked as she shook her head a little.

"Not right now, but like within this week. I'll fill in the gap if there's not enough."

"No, it's fine... We can spare enough to give those away."

Yuqi looked a little grumpy as she said it out loud.

"Besides that, I want everyone to be prepared, as we'll be clearing Foshan soon, along with Yiming's soldiers. I don't want them to beat us."

All of the officers immediately stood up and saluted and quickly ran out of the command center as they got ready to train the soldiers even more.

"Just call me if you need me to do anything."

With Yezi leaving the room, only Shuli, Yuqi, and Xiaoyun remained.

"So, is Yiming joining us or not?" Shuli curiously asked as she was still a little confused.

"Partially, yes. You can think more of a cooperation between us... Until we got enough food to offer them to join our faction, it's just going to remain this way." Xiaoyun explained.

"You sure the soldiers underneath Yiming will willingly follow under us?" Yuqi asked her concern.

"They don't have a choice. There's nowhere for them to go, and I believe Yiming can eventually convince them to join us, considering how good benefits we offer to soldiers."

"But wouldn't it dilute much of our control on our army? That's a lot of people and soldiers that could potentially not mesh well with our current army.

Not to mention, how would the rank and who leads who? Look like it's going to be an absolute mess if we merge."

"Yeah... To be honest, I was thinking of leaving the military and that civilian at Shaoguan as a permanent base. It's on the way to the north anyway and is still a big city.

"Make sense... well, I'll go prepare the inventory and check if we have enough... Shuli, let's go."

With the two both leaving the room, Xiaoyun was now all alone in the room.

"I should write a draft to record everything."

Xiaoyun pulled out a piece of paper from his suitcase and began writing all the deals he had made with Gantian, as well as all of the requirements he had to fulfill.

"Things I can write for this treaty... What more should I add?"
