Zombie Apocalypse: Creation-Chapter 516: Emergency in Changsha
"Have a fun day at school!"
As Leyan waved goodbye to Lily, all of Xiaoyun's wives had finally left the house for work.
Closing the door, she turned over to the only other person who was still in the living room.
"Why are you not going to work?" Leyan asked, looking over to Xiaoyun, who was sitting on the sofa.
"It's only nine thirty. I go to work at ten thirty o'clock."
"Sounds like some made-up schedule."
"Who's going to punish me for it? Besides, Yuqi wants me out of her office almost ninety percent of the time."

"Really?"
As Leyan sat down next to Xiaoyun, she quickly noticed the massive bulge underneath his pants.
"Yes, really. She had described me as just an extra cog that gets in the way."
Xiaoyun paused for a second, then continued.
"Anyway, babe. Can you help me with——"
"Oh snap, I almost forgot it's time to wake up the babies."
Leyan quickly got up from the sofa, heading over to the guest hallway before he could finish talking.
All Xiaoyun could do was sigh as he looked down at the raging bulge that had been up all morning.
"Fuck my life..."
---
Twenty minutes later...
"Honey, what did you say earlier? What do you need me to help with?"
Leyan asked as the two of them gently put Wenwen and Bingbing down into their crib in the living room.
"Nothing."
As their babies strolled around the living room, Xiaoyun's plan to have Leyan help relieve him was now in ruins.
"Okay... Hey, careful, Yongyi, don't run so fast."
Just as Leyan got up from the sofa again to deal with the babies, Xiaoyun's eyes quickly noticed something was off.
Her white dress was very different from the long blue dress she usually wore on Thursday.
It was much shorter and transparent, to the point that he could tell she wasn't wearing anything underneath.
"Ha, ha!"
"Ha, ha!"
"Don't laugh at your brother. You two, no running either."
As Leyan shut both Lianrong and Qiaolan, all three babies were grounded back in their cribs.
"You guys misbehave, you guys don't get to play."
"Wah!"
All three of the babies immediately started to cry, waking up the other three, who looked a little confused by what was happening.
"You can cry all you want, it's not going to change my mind. When I say no running, there is no running."
After the babies cried for a bit, they quickly stopped as they all fell back asleep halfway into their protest.
"They really fall asleep fast..." Xiaoyun murmured.
"Of course. We just fed them earlier. They are going to get tired and sleepy real quick."
With the other three babies eventually falling back into sleep, only the two adults remained.
"Honey... Can you hold until nighttime? I really don't want to do it all alone without the others."
"I can't go to work like this. Pleaseee."
After a short silence, Leyan let out a small sigh before grabbing onto his hand.
"What are you waiting for?"
Leyan questioned, noticing him still sitting on the seat despite her pulling him away from the sofa.
"Can we do it here? Pleaseee"
"Are you crazy?"
Seeing Xiaoyun's eye looking determined to remain on the sofa, Leyan sighed as she slowly sat down on top of his lap.
"I'm only doing this once, okay? You better not request this again in the future."
"Woohoo!"
Leyan rolled her eyes, her face blushing a little as she could feel his burning desire through her dress.
More importantly, she wasn't wearing anything underneath, adding fuel to a body that was already dying for it.
"Why are you like this..."
"Hey, don't make it sound like you don't want to do it either... You're dressing this just to lure me in, weren't you?"
"Maybeee... Anyway, are you going to do it or are you just going to sit there and wait for me to do everything——"
Just as Xiaoyun was about to flip Leyan's dress over, his phone suddenly started ringing.
"For fucks sake."
"Don't hang it up. It might be important."
Xiaoyun sighed as she quickly got off his lap and let him grab his phone lying on the coffee table.
"Hello? Houqin, what's wrong?"
"There's an emergency right now."
---
When Xiaoyun arrived at the logistics office, only three minutes had passed since the phone call.
As Xiaoyun entered the room, he was surprised to see Lingang, out of all people, standing inside fully equipped.
"Commander!"
"Lingang? Why are you here?"
"It's a longer story. I can write a report later, but can you grant me access to the army reserves right now?"
Lingang's urgent tone immediately alerted Xiaoyun, raising some suspicion as he signaled him to calm down.
"Slow down, Lingang, take a seat. I can't just grant stuff without knowing what's happening."
Seeing Xiaoyun unwilling to accept his request, Lingang quickly took a seat to the right.
"So what happened? Why do you need the army reserve?" Xiaoyun questioned.
"Our troops are surrounded in Changsha. I need men and equipment to rescue them from the encirclement.
But Houqin had refused to give it to me. Commander, please. Our men need your support."
"You guys cleared Changsha?"
With a nod from Lingang, Xiaoyun quickly realized what had happened.
"How did the zombies manage to encircle you and Zhongxiong's army?" Xiaoyun raised his concern.
"We were actually in a great position, clearing all of Changsha just on Monday of this week.
Zhongxiong's troops were able to clear building by building all around Changsha, neutralizing all the possible threats with ease.
They eventually started celebrating at the city center while we were assigned to head north to clean up the last remaining district."
Lingang paused for a second, thinking for a bit before resuming.
"That's when everything went wrong... The city was only so easily cleared due to the zombies themselves migrating out of the city.
They had gathered themselves in a nearby village to the west, all waiting for us to finish the final touches at the North."
Xiaoyun waited in silence, his face a little concerned as he thought back to both Yezi and Yiming's reports.
"All those zombies began flooding back at night. Just a day after the celebration, when most of the soldiers celebrating were still drunk."
"Drunk... How could they celebrate so early?" Houqin murmured in disbelief.
"What happened next?"
Xiaoyun didn't really seem to be bothered by it as he signalled Lingang to continue.
"We immediately headed back towards the city center after one of the Zhongxiong soldiers made it out and reported the attack to us.
But by the time we reached the city center's entrance, we realized the number of zombies was more than we could handle.
I immediately tried to retreat from the city, but we quickly realized we needed to head south to retreat to Qingyuan, not north."
A frown appeared on Lingang's mind, as if the thought had triggered some bad memories.
"In the end, we thought of spearheading south with only our tanks. But the overwhelming numbers of zombies ended up..."
As an even deeper frown appeared, Lingang's voice got quieter and quieter until his voice began to crack.
"It's okay, Lingang, I don't blame you... Do you remember how many zombies were attacking you guys?"
"It was around... At least a million or more. The entire streets were flooded with zombies with no end in sight.
The tank I was in only made it out alive because the others made a last-ditch effort to go in the other direction."
Xiaoyun sat in silence for a second before taking Lingang's word as is. In his mind, he had already written off the other tanks as gone.
"Where are the remaining troops located? And how many of them are alive?" Xiaoyun questioned.
"The majority of them were still stationed in the north part of Changsha before I left."
Lingang paused again, then continued.
"My colonels and I thought the armored vehicles wouldn't be strong enough to break through the zombie lines.
So we made them stay back while the tank crew and I headed inside the tanks to deliver the news to Luoping."
"So the losses are only the tank and the tank crews?"
Lingang nodded, which relieved Xiaoyun a bit. But his heart melted at the news that all his tanks were gone.
It wasn't just any tanks—modern tanks that were still fully in service, and even had amphibious capability. Not to mention, the fully trained tank crews that are most likely gone forever.
Still, he didn't lash out at Lingang. He knew he would have made the same thing if he were in his position.
"You told them to retreat further north if the zombies attack them, right?"
Lingang nodded, but his face didn't look to be relieved at all. Instead, it looks even more concerning than before.
"What's wrong? Could they not retreat further north if we can't get there in time?" Xiaoyun questioned.
"They only have enough fuel for an hour's drive. If they tried to retreat and the zombie kept chasing them, they might not make it..."
Lingang's ending silence finally convinced Xiaoyun of the urgency of the situation.
"How many troops and equipment do you need?"
