Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 477: Rooting out the Corruption



"Fuck!"

As the item fell onto the ground, Ma Zhang clenched his hand that had been shot.

Within seconds, Tan Pi instantly kicks Ma Zhang onto the floor, with Bai Bing picking up the item that fell onto the floor.

"You tried to blow us up!" Bai Bing yelled in anger as he held onto the lever of the grenade in place.

"You'll never get me alive!"

Tan Pi quickly tried to stop Ma Zhang, but it was far too late as he had already bitten down with his teeth.

After a few seconds, Ma Zhang fell unconscious before all four Colonels realized what Xiaoyun had stated was true.

There was now undeniable evidence, but Mingxu still didn't seem to believe what had just happened within a few seconds.

"Look like we can never figure out what they had done in the dark... Tan Pi, take his body out."

"Yes, sir."

As Tan Pi dragged the dead body out of the tent, Bai Bing had already carried the grenade out of the tent.

Within a few seconds, a loud explosion quickly went off before the walkie-talkie went off with a grenade test message.

Meanwhile, Mingxu was still shocked, sitting in the chair as Ningjing stood right behind him.

A single tear fell from his face, telling Xiaoyun that the two had known each other for a long time and had worked together.

"How could he? Why would he join a terrorist organization? Fuck I should have realized it——"

"It's okay. No one blames you. What matters is that he's is caught now." Ningjing murmured as she gently patted him on the back.

"She's right. No one asks you to do that. Finding out spies is Renqin's and Yueyue's job.

You two can go back to your tent early. I'll clean this up and tell you guys the plan tomorrow."

The two nodded as they silently left the room, leaving Xiaoyun alone before Tan Pi and Bai Bing came back from their mess.

"Commander Xiaoyun, what do we do now?"

Hearing their voices, Xiaoyun could feel a deep admiration with a hint of fear that he couldn't avoid at this point.

"Head back to your camp and be ready tomorrow. I'll announce the new operation plan."

"Yes, sir!"

As the two left the tent, Xiaoyun sat back down before looking at the blood that had splattered onto the map and table.

A strong stench of blood remained, but his mind didn't even notice it as a bigger issue was in his mind.

It was bigger than the army, bigger than all the problems he was currently facing in Zhaoqing.

"Kate..."

Just as Xiaoyun was about to get up from his seat, the two cloaked figures had once again entered the room.

"What do you think, Commander Xiaoyun? Do you trust us now?" Liu Peng questioned as they lowered their hoodie.

"I don't want to trust you two... But it looks like I don't have a choice here."

"You won't regret it."

The next morning...

As Xiaoyun sat up from the table, there was a single piece of paper right before him.

The inside contained a list of names, ranging from janitor workers to department officials.

When he saw some of the names, he was surprised at how much the secret society had infiltrated his settlement.

However, some of them had no clear connections that prove those on the list were directly connected, with only indirect payments.

But they had broken the laws in one way or another, regardless of who was behind some of the indirect payments.

If he were to count some of the indirect payments, even he would technically be under arrest for corruption.

The list given was simply a rough estimate that still needed to be searched further for evidence.

More importantly, the fact that these two had gotten all this information made him a little intrigued.

When he decided to ask them about it, they only told him that the laboratory has eyes everywhere.

Despite the base he had cleared, it was only a small operation that barely affected their goal.

It started to confuse Xiaoyun, as he didn't understand why the secret society seemed to be helping him.

At the same time, considering all the things he had done against them, it doesn't make sense for them to help him.

"Why did they run back to here?" Xiaoyun wondered as he stepped out of the tent with the list of names.

As he walked down the dirt path, he quickly put the paper inside his jacket before heading toward a certain area.

"Blood bag!"

With several nurses running in and out, he felt like he was at the field hospital as Liu Peng stood outside the tent.

"How's your friend inside?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"I don't know..."

Seeing Liu Peng look barely awake, Xiaoyun knew he had stayed up all night outside the tent.

"You can go sleep for a bit if you want. The doctors will tell you if the operation was successful or not when you wake up."

"I'm good."

Xiaoyun didn't pursue him any further as he headed back towards the HQ tent.

After entering inside, he began to look over Yezi's plan, which had been left over in the drawer.

"Time to work..."

A few hours later...

As Xiaoyun finished modifying Yezi's plan, he finally made a rough draft he was satisfied with.

For the most part, it still followed most of his tactics of clearing and securing.

But with a much safer approach to clearing street by street, rather than trying to create an encirclement of zombies by cornering them.

Even though it would take longer, he can't afford more instability for this mission.

"Commander Xiaoyun?" Tan Pi's voice appeared, along with several footsteps right behind.

"Welcome. Take a seat. I'll explain your upcoming plan to you all..."

---

An hour later.

"You all got the plan and ready to execute it?"

All four colonels nodded, agreeing with Xiaoyun's plan as they could find no flaws in it.

"Remember, you have the flexibility to change it on the spot. Don't follow it like a gospel."

The four of them nodded again, leaving Xiaoyun satisfied as he moved on to the next part of his presentation.

"Now I want you guys to bring these soldiers over. Please bring them over and fully restrain them when they get here."

After naming twenty different people, the faces of the four colonels change as they all reconganized the names.

It was clear what the list was implying, especially after seeing what happened yesterday and the word 'restrain.'

"Yes, sir!"

All four of the Colonels immediately left the tent, leaving Xiaoyun alone once again as he felt a little exhausted.

Even though it had only been less than two days, his brain was exhausted from all the problems he had been exposed to.

"I need a secret service..."

Xiaoyun thought to himself as he could feel his hands tied from needing the colonels to do all the work for him.

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind, but he quickly rejected it after remembering what Yueyue wanted as her job.

"Who can lead this job...?"

After thinking for a bit, Xiaoyun couldn't think of a good name for this new department.

"I should probably ask Yuqi about this... Or maybe I just use Leyan? She already has some sort of force in the dark."

After giving it more thought, Xiaoyun began to consider it as a possible solution to this issue.

However, he didn't want to return to Luoping this early. He wasn't ready to face Kate.

He just didn't want to deal with that issue, despite knowing it was only a matter of time.

All the things they had done together made him want to believe this was just misinformation by those two.

But his rational mind once again told him there was no other reason for those two to lie.

It did not make logical sense for her to show up to Luoping alone. It was no coincidence that she showed up with Anna and the three Russians.

He could feed himself lies instead, but the truth was blatantly obvious.

Yet he doesn't understand why she would marry him and even get in bed with him.

He could feel all the pleasure the two had had together was her genuine love, from the beginning to the end.

Even knowing she was willing to give birth to him, he just couldn't harden his heart to convince himself.

"Maybe she changed her mind... Yeah, that has to be it. She changed to be good."

Xiaoyun finally settled the debate as he put away his pistol before a bunch of footsteps appeared near the tent.

"Commander, we have them detained in a van. But we didn't find any poison in their mouth."

Despite Mingxu's statement walking in, Xiaoyun didn't seem to be surprised by it at all.

"They are only involved in a corruption scandal. Not some committed fanatics like the one yesterday."
