Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

When Xiaoyun finally regained consciousness, Leyan was right by his bedside, her head supported by her arm as she struggled to stay awake.

"Xiaoyun! You're finally awake!"

Leyan excitedly held Xiaoyun's hand as he opened his eyes.

"Hm? Where am I at? Why am I in the bed?"

Xiaoyun was still a little lightheaded and sleepy as he looked towards Leyan.

"You're in our bedroom. Tianci brought you back home after you overused your power." Leyan replied.

"Oh, right... Wait! Are the zombies defeated?"

Before Xiaoyun could push the blanket aside and get up from the bed, Leyan held him back down.

"What do you think? If they got here, we wouldn't be talking here still."

Leyan gently patted his head as Xiaoyun gradually calmed back down.

"How long did I fall unconscious for?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"About half a day... Don't worry about the outside stuff, okay? You need to rest."

Seeing Xiaoyun wanted to ask more questions, Leyan put her finger on his lips.

"We can talk about it tomorrow. Let's just have a good night's rest."

"Fine..."

Xiaoyun quickly fell back asleep as Leyan watched over him with her affectionate eyes.

The next morning.

When Xiaoyun woke up again, Leyan was asleep right next to him.

Seeing her sleeping so peacefully, Xiaoyun decided not to wake her up and went towards the bathroom.

After a refreshing shower, Xiaoyun was finally fully awake as he walked downstairs to the living.

As he looked over at the clock, it was only five in the morning.

With nothing much to do, Xiaoyun decided to cook breakfast.

Twenty minutes later...

"Hm? Who's already cooking dinner so early?"

Leyan wondered as she walked over to the kitchen, still half asleep as she had only slept for a few hours.

"Hey, good morning, Leyan." Xiaoyun waved as he had just finished preparing all the ingredients.

"You're up so early... You sure you don't want some more sleep?"

Leyan asked as she stretched her arms and yawned.

"I already slept an entire day. You can go back to sleep. I'll cook breakfast today." Xiaoyun suggested as he started putting the ingredients together.

"Aww, thanks, honey. Let me reward you. Mwah. I'm going back to sleep now."

Leyan kissed Xiaoyun on the lips before going back to the bedroom.

When the clock hit eight, Yuqi was the first one awake and went downstairs to the kitchen as she noticed Xiaoyun was in the kitchen cooking.

"Xiaoyun, you feeling better now?" Yuqi asked curiously as she sat down in her seat with Lianrong in her arms.

"Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better now... Hey darling, Can you tell me what happened yesterday at the inner wall? Like right after I fell unconscious."

Xiaoyun asked curiously as he put the bowl of noodles for her.

"Well, we got the wooden logs in place at the inner wall, and then we got the gasoline up in the wall after the second wave was defeated...

Then Yezi used the wooden logs and gasoline to burn all of the bodies that had built up below the wall, and it got so big that it practically created a firewall that just burned all the zombies for the third wave.

And right after that, we just got spare logs and gasoline left over and a fresh batch of ammos from the factory to finish off the fourth wave."

Yuqi explained as she blew air to cool down the noodles.

"So it worked on in the end..."

Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief as his top worries were finally confirmed to be done with.

"Oh, I almost forgot, the red iris on Tianci's eye disappeared," Yuqi added.

"Really? She's finally back? Did she say anything about me?" Xiaoyun asked curiously.

"Um... She cried a lot when she carried you back home. But I think mom was able to calm her down... Also, when are you going to explain Tianci's issue?"

Yuqi asked as she began eating the warm noodles in her bowl.

"I'll explain it later to you all. I promise."

Seeing Yuqi still looked a little unhappy, XIaoyun quickly shifted the topic.

"How's everyone in the town feeling like?"

"Everyone? All of them are relieved and ecstatic when they realize they have finally defeated the zombie hordes... You know how many people are calling you a hero right now?"

"A hero? For what?" Xiaoyun got a little confused.

"Yezi revealed to everyone that you were the one who found all the gas in an abandoned gas station and came up with the plan to use them along with the logs to defeat the zombies...

So you saved the town. How does it feel to be a hero?" Yuqi asked as she looked toward Xiaoyun with a curious face.

"I don't feel any different... I need to tell Yezi later to retract that——"

"Why? You're the one who came up with it and created it. You should get all the credit."

Yuqi interrupted Xiaoyun as she couldn't understand why he wanted to push the credit away.

"I want the spotlight to be on the soldiers who sarcrifice themselve. Not me."

Xiaoyun looked a little down as he thought back to all the soldiers who heroically sacrificed themselves to buy precious time for their comrades.

"Yezi already knew you were going to say that. We already planned to make a mandatory holiday as a day of remembrance to honor them."

As Yuqi reassured him, Xiaoyun felt a lot better receiving the credits.

"All those gasoline and wood burns must be a mess to deal with, isn't it?" Xiaoyun asked as he started thinking about the aftermath.

"Yeah... There is still a fire going out at the wall. I already evacuated most people from the wall to avoid getting poisoned...

Good thing the wind is blowing in the other direction, or else the town would be covered in that smell——"

Suddenly, before Yuqi could finish, Lianrong started crying.

"Lianrong, you hungry? Just give me a second, okay?"

Yuqi began pulling her blouse to the side and started breastfeeding Lianrong.

"Anyway, you can just rest at home if you want. Today is a break day for everyone." Yuqi added.

"Really? What if there's another zombie horde coming?" Xiaoyun asked as he felt it was too early for a break.

"Yezi already sent hundreds of scouts out to make sure no more zombies were coming from the city...

When I said a break day for everyone, I meant a break day for everyone other than the soldiers who still have to clean up."

"Oh."

As Xiaoyun finished cooking the rest of the breakfast and put them down on the table, the other five finally woke up as they walked into the kitchen one by one.

"Good morning, our town's hero." Yueyue waved as she carried Qiaolan in her arms.

"Good morning... Yueyue, you look so tired. What did you do last night?" Xiaoyun waved back as he started eating the breakfast he had just made.

"I had to go help clean with the mess, unlike Yuqi, who came home early to sleep." Yueyue pointed it out as she began breastfeeding Qiaolan.

"I was too sleepy, okay? I had been running back and forth between the factory nonstop, making sure everything was being delivered in time... Babe, you understand my struggle, right?"

Yuqi looked over to Xiaoyun with a pleading face as if Xiaoyun could excuse her early break.

"Yuqi doesn't have that good of a stamina." Xiaoyun backed her up.

"Yeah, sure. Totally not just somebody too lazy——"

"Who's being lazy?" Nami asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"A certain somebody who went back home early," Yueyue replied.

"So not me... Oh my god. Why is today's breakfast so fancy?"

Nami's eyes were fully awake as she couldn't believe the food on the table.

"I just woke up early to cook breakfast today."

"Aww, thanks babe. You really are the best!"

Nami tried to kiss Xiaoyun on the lips but couldn't reach it. So she sat on top of Xiaoyun's lap and kissed him on the cheeks.

"Hey, that's not fair," Yuqi argued as she quickly moved over and kissed Xiaoyun on the cheek as well.

"I want to do it too..."

Yueyue hesitated for a second as she felt a little embarrassed to move over, but she eventually got up and kissed Xiaoyun on the cheek as well.

"What are you three doing? It's only the morning."

Leyan asked as she walked into the three, still kissing Xiaoyun on the cheek as she held Yongyi in her arms.

"We're just giving the town's hero a kiss," Yuqi explained as all three of their faces blushed.

"Uh-huh, sure. You two need to be more careful. Your baby almost dropped onto the floor."

Leyan pointed out as Yuqi's and Yueyue's baby were barely holding onto their arm.

"Oh snap."

Both of them quickly sat back down in their seat and adjusted their baby back up.

"Good morning everyone."

Two voices appeared from the living room as it traveled into the kitchen.

It was Wuli and Shuli who finally woke up as they sat down next to each other at the dining table.

"Good morning... Wuli, you okay?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he noticed a little scar on her face.

"Yeah, I'm fine—just a little scratch," Wuli replied as she and Shuli began eating breakfast.
