Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Within a day, the entire town was mobilized as mandatory training was prolonged to three hours everyday for everyone. With all construction were put on paused to focus reinforcing the wall and making it taller.

The sudden call for all militia to be on duty also severely interrupted the commercial sector as well as the public sector. However, nobody complained as everyone in the town had learned about what was happening in the outskirt.

Yiming started initializing the plan as they drove to the city outskirt to raid the zombies at random interval of time.

Meanwhile Xiaoyun and several of the construction crew had been laying TNT along the road just as planned.

After a week of planning, everything was set up.

However the zombies still seem on hold as they still don't move out of the city outskirt.

Just when Yuqi and Xiaoyun was planning to demobilize some of the troops, the hordes of zombies finally moved.

"Unit one here, the zombies are exiting the outskirt, over." Sound suddenly came out of the walkie talkie.

"All unit retreat back to the wall, over." The three could hear Yiming speaking through the walkie talkie.

"Copy that." The sound ended.

"Well look like its time." Yuqi replied.

"You two go back home. Don't argue with me, you guys can't go there." Xiaoyun face looked determined.

Yuqi easily accepted but Yueyue wanted to argued back. But she folded as she struggled a little to stand up.

"Be safe out there okay?" The two looked worried as they walked out of the office.

Xiaoyun gave the two one last hug.

As Xiaoyun hugged Yueyue, she suddenly whispered something to his ear.

"I-I grant you a wish t-that, j-just come back home safety okay?" Yueyue faced blushes as the two separated.

"Don't worry, I'll get home safely.

Xiaoyun waved goodbye to the two as he walked the other way.

"Hows the situation going?" Xiaoyun entered the security room as both Yezi and Yiming already inside.

"All the unit outside has returned back. Some of the horde is going towards our direction. They are about to arrived in an hour." Yezi replied.

"All we can do is now wait." The three walked outside and up the wall.

"How tall is the wall now?." Xiaoyun looked down and got a little scared from the height.

"From three to seven meter. Now with these battlement the soldiers don't have to awkwardly stand behind a stair to dodge for cover against basic firearm."

Just as Yiming finished speaking, everyone loud noise above them from the sky.

Yiming took out his binocular only to see an dot in the sky.

"What was that?" Xiaoyun asked.

"It's a jet... but I'm not what they are doing here." Yezi could only reply with his limited knowledge.

"Its 8th Air division, most likely the H-6 Bomber. They finally decided to do something." Yiming seem have beef with air division as he answered them.

Through the next thirty minute, everyone could feel the ground shaking a little multiple times.

"Unit One, go check outside." Yiming signaled the unit to drive outside as the bridge is lowered.

After five minute later, the car drove back with a small horde behind it.

The soldiers stopped the car and stepped out.

"What happened outside?" Yiming asked.

"Most of the zombies outside is extremely thin out. And there's massive Explosion crater in the distance" The soldier explained as the people on the wall starting clearing the small zombie horde.

"So they must of done a bombing run, I guess the zombies are out of the city." Yezi commented.

"Well good news for us, less zombies to deal with." The three got back up to the wall.

After three hours of guarding the walls, all the zombies were all cleared.

Yiming sent out several unit to scout outside, only for them to return with the news that the massively horde has been practically reduced to few smaller groups that had stayed in the city outskirt.

"What happened?" Yuqi asked as the three were back into the office.

"The military stepped in and bombed the zombie hordes. We only had to clean up the leftover. Didn't even need to use the explosive." Xiaoyun explained.

"That good to hear." Yueyue replied.

"We can demobilize the troops then. So many jobs were put in halt because of this." Yuqi pulled out the estimated cost to Xiaoyun.

"W-what? W-we really spend that much?" Xiaoyun couldn't believe his eye looking at the cost.

"Well, calling everyone on duty for a week is going to cost a lot, not to mention construction crew working overtime."

"Whatever, I guess I go print more money and food to back this up." Xiaoyun left the room.

"This going to a very busy few days." Yueyue commented as she started preparing the documents.

"Wait! We don't need to worry about water being cut off! The military is most likely guarding it since they need it too!" Yuqi suddenly realized it.

A week has passed since the bombing.

Everyone was back to their original task as there was no more outside threat.

Yezi was back to rescuing people from the city outskirt, but less and less people were being rescued as the the town's side of the city outskirt was practically all cleared of survivors.

Yezi was standing inside the office as Xiaoyun and Yuqi reviewed Yezi's new plan.

"Going further to the other side of the city outskirt, expanding the rescue team, and allowing soldiers gather resources from outside to sell... These I can understand and I will give it to you."

Xiaoyun paused for a second.

"But having scouting mission into the inner city is not going to happen. There is almost fourteen millions of people inside the city. Those zombies that walked are out only a tiny fraction of it." Xiaoyun rejected the second part.

"B-but don't you want to see what happening inside the city? We have almost zero information on it." Yezi argued.

"All I know is that even the military failed to go to the inner city. You know what happened to Yiming, it's just not worth the risk." Xiaoyun argued back.

"Fine, you won." Yezi finally folded as he left with the paper.

"Yueyue can you bring the trade department here?" Yuqi asked as she continue to read the financial report.

"Okay." Yueyue left the office, then came back with the head of the trade department.

"Hello boss, what do you need me for?" The man looked at the two.

"Has trade dropped last few weeks?" Yuqi asked.

"Yes, a lot less people have been coming here and trading due to the zombie hordes blocking most entrances and exits. But since its clear now I believe its going to increase back up again." The man replied.

"I want you to focus ask them if they have anyone who have experience with manufacturing. Specifically with making firearms would be the best. You can go now." Yuqi waved

"Yes boss, I'll tell the department that." The man turned around and left.

"This going to be hard to find... most of heavy industry is in the north, and south focus much more on light industry." Xiaoyun commented.

"Yeah I know, but we need to start making it somehow rather than depending it all on you." Yuqi acknowledges it.

"Anyway the farms are fully self-substantiating now as long as the population doesn't suddenly increase massively." Yuqi stated as she checked the next page of the document.

"Finally I don't have to constantly go make canned food."

"Well not just yet, we only got self-substantiating with vegetables. We got no livestock or any form of meat. So you still going to need to continue it." Yuqi reminded him.

"Never mind then." Xiaoyun dramatically sat next to Yueyue on the sofa.

"Oh, the signal came back." Yueyue noticed her phone had signal again.

"Look like the military must of taken back the cell tower." Yuqi took out her phone as well.

"But the signal still can only call people within the same city." Yuqi dialed one of her business partner, only to get no response.

"That's good enough for us." Xiaoyun replied back.

"Yeah I guess." Yuqi focused back to work.

November was finally over as December is here.

The days has been getting colder and colder, and much colder than everyone has experienced last year. But still not as cold as the north, where it would be snowing right now.

The commercial sector has massively expanded as many people returned from demobilization with more money than they can spend it with.

Combined with influx of raw resources and goods from the outside and more survivor joining the town with Yezi's rescue missions. It was a perfect time for more job opportunity and expansion.

However, due to the massive growth of the town, Yuqi and Xiaoyun soon ran into trouble again.

"We had cleared the entire center of the forest now, we have nowhere else to expand into, but people need more space to live and work." Jingming complained as Xiaoyun opened the office door.

"What do you think we should do then?" Xiaoyun asked as he can tell Jingming already have an answer.

"Expand away from the center and towards the back here. All the way to the river over here." Jingming pointed at the forest behind the mansions and cabins to the river.

"You sure this going to work? Last time I checked there's an overgrown forest there, not to mention the wild animals and uncharted areas." Yuqi warned.

"Yes, I'm confident we can do it. We gotten some power tools with chainsaws and even an excavator few days ago from Yezi's scouting missions." Jingming argued back.

"Well then, come back tomorrow and we will give you a zoning map." Yuqi replied back.

"Thank you boss." Jingming turned around and left the office.
