Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 407: European Affairs

After a short discussion, the man turned back to Xiaoyun as if he had reached some sort of consensus within the group.

"What do you want from us? Can you just state it directly?"

"Quiet, frankly, I have no use for you guys. That's the brutal truth. I couldn't care less about what is happening in Europe.

You tell me, why should I give you guys fuel to go to New Zealand? What can I gain from it?"

Seeing the man falling in silence, one of the females in the foreigner group suddenly yelled out something.

"Kate, what did she say?"

"Um, she said she's willing to have... sex with you."

"Tell her it's not going to work."

Seeing Xiaoyun instantly rejected it, Kate was more than happy to translate his words back to the woman.

The woman looked a little angry, almost as if she was mad over being looked down on by him, even though she was pretty attractive.

"I have one offer for you all. List everything you have seen in Europe, and I'll send soldiers to help you refuel and send you on your merry way."

"Everything?"

"Everything. I want all those giant mutant's information and whatever zombies you guys have over there.

And I want to know who controls what and if you know anything about what happened in America.

You guys can keep this document too, but I'm going to photocopy one for our usage."

Xiaoyun finally revealed the demand he had in mind the whole time, as he had been curious about the outside world.

After a short back-and-forth discussion between the foreign groups, they accepted his demand.

"We accept your demand, but it's going to take at least a day to say everything," the man said.

"Of course. Kate and Anna, can you two start recording the things they say? I'll go get their houses to stay."

With the nods from the two, Xiaoyun and Yezi both headed out of the command center.

"What do you think, Yezi? Did I handle it correctly?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he closed the door.

"Yeah... But are you actually going to let them go?"

"Depends how well the information is... If they are genuine, I don't see the need to stop them from leaving.

Besides, I doubt New Zealand is safe. It's probably full of zombies, just without those weird giant mutants."

Yezi didn't comment any further as Xiaoyun took out his phone to call the administrative office.

After a short chat about getting two houses for the foreigners, the two headed back inside to the command center.

"I got you guys two houses you can split your group into. A driver will come here soon to pick you guys up.

Kate and Anna, can you two guide them along the way and make sure they don't do anything stupid?"

Xiaoyun spoke the last part in Chinese, not wanting the foreigner to understand it.

Seeing the two nodding in agreement, Xiaoyun headed over to the logistics department to call for several soldiers to act as guards.

With everything set up, the two headed back to Xiaoyun's house.

"Welcome back... Where are Kate and Anna?" Yuqi curiously asked.

"They are busy with some work. They'll be back later. Anyway, what are you guys doing?"

Xiaoyun asked as he noticed they all seemed to be making some sort of cloth with a crochet hook.

"Just making a scarf competition," Leyan replied as none of their hands had slowed down at all.

"A scarf when summer is coming up, that gotta be something else——"

"Yezi, are you calling me dumb?" Huayi interrupted as she was making a scarf as well.

"What? Of course not. It's better to have it now than when it's too late. Making things in advance is so smart."

Xiaoyun smirked as he watched Yezi's attitude flip 180 as the two of them sat down and turned on the TV.

"Yezi, you gotta watch this movie with me. All of them said it's bad, but you know, women."

"Hmph!"

All of the girls said it out at the same time, as they knew what time Xiaoyun was talking about.

"Really? What movie is it?"

"It's a war movie, just trust me and watch it with me."

A few hours later...

As the two finished watching the movie, the sun had already set on the horizon.

"It's pretty good," Yezi commented as the credit began to appear.

"That's what I thought, too, when I saw the first few minutes of it before they took the remote away."

"Why would someone want to watch a war movie in an apocalypse..." Huayi commented on what all of the girls thought of.

"Ahem, it looks like it's time for Huayi and me to go back home. Thanks for the company today."

"Already? Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner? I'm just about to cook it now. It'll be real quick."

"We're good. Thanks for the offer."

As the two of them grabbed their daughter and quickly left the house, Leyan headed back to the sofa to continue crocheting.

"Xiaoyun, you go cook today," Leyan complained as she showed no sign of getting up again.

"Why me?"

As soon as Xiaoyun asked, he could notice all of the girls staring at him, almost as if they were about to threaten him with something.

"Okay, okay. I'll cook."

With Xiaoyun out of the living room, all of the girls went back to crocheting the scarf competition as the four babies played with read silently.

---

When Xiaoyun finished cooking, Kate and Anna finally came back home with almost several boxes of documents.

"Geez, what did you guys go out to do?" Yueyue curiously asked as she and Yuqi headed over to help them carry it inside.

"I can't tell you that. You'll need to ask Xiaoyun," Anna replied as they finally put right before the coffee table.

"Xiaoyun, what is it?" Yuqi curiously asked.

"Just some military document. Don't worry about it... Ahem, let's all go eat now."

As everyone headed to the kitchen to prepare food, the four mothers carried their babies along with them.

"What kind of military document needed to be carried home?"

Wuli curiously asked as all military documents are usually in the logistic office instead of in Xiaoyun's house.

"It's not that important to the military, so there's no point in keeping it there."

Seeing Xiaoyun not wanting to talk about it any further, none of them ask about it again.

"Anna, you okay?" Nami suddenly asked as she noticed her face looking a little down.

"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." Anna replied as her face returned to normal.

Nami didn't question it as the conversation at the dining table resumed with regular chattering.

Several hours later...

While everyone was asleep in their rooms, Xiaoyun was in his office, reading the document written by Kate and Anna.

It was everything he wanted to know, from the factions within Europe to even the different kinds of zombie mutants there.

Although most of them contained irrelevant information about European affairs, some of them caught his interest.

"Free Masonry outpost in all of Western Europe... How are they so publicly known over there?"

Xiaoyun was a little intrigued as he remembered them as a secret society, not a public faction that could see the day of light.

It was even labeled as the only multi-national faction group in Europe besides the Knight Templar that operated in France and Germany.

The foreigners' comments made it clear that they were just another faction fighting against the zombies.

It just didn't add up, from helping people to clearing a whole city as their base of operation.

It was the polar opposite of what he was facing in China as if they had some sort of splinter group with a different ideology or something.

Besides the information that caught his eye, the other document that caught his attention was European factions.

Western Europe was much more fractured, with smaller groups that built federations together to fight off zombies.

Most of them were located in the countryside, with a few that were located in smaller cities.

But none of them had control over another city or town, almost as if they had fallen back to the age of city-state infighting.

Even the biggest federation, the Deutschland Federation, consists of almost fifty towns in northern Germany ruled by different people.

Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, things were much more centralized, with more emphasis on a singular settlement.

It was the complete opposite of what settlements in France or Germany were doing.

Countries like Poland and Latvia somehow had only united into a single faction that controlled the entire resistance group against the zombies.

Still, even being united didn't mean there would be progress, as their zone of control was even smaller than the Federation ones in Western Europe.

As Xiaoyun turned to Northern Europe and the British Isles, it was completely blank, with a small note that there were resistant fighters.

"I guess it's a lot harder for information to travel over..." Xiaoyun murmured as he turned to the last area of interest.
