Chapter 452: Emergency Reports
A few hours later...
As the clocks hit noon, all of them were sitting on the sofa with their babies, waiting for their hair to dry up.
Lily could feel something was a little off between them, but she couldn't pinpoint what was causing her to feel this way.

From the clues, she noticed that Xiaoyun's wives' legs were crossing each other as if they were trying to hold something in.
The only ones who seemed relaxed were Wuli and Shuli, but they were holding their lips tightly together for some odd reason.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyun's leg was constantly shaking, almost as if his body couldn't control itself repeating a motion.
"What a nice weekend break... It's been so long since we're just all at home together like this."
Leyan murmured as she started breastfeeding Yongyi, with the other six doing the same to their babies.
"Yeah, a nice little break... Let's resume where we left off yesterday."
Seeing Xiaoyun not looking at them a single time, Lily was a little surprised.
It was almost as if Xiaoyun was a completely different person, being much more like a gentleman.
"There it is. Time to find out what really happened to her in that explosion..."
As the TV show resumed, everyone's attention was laser-focused on the main character, who seemed to be rolling down a cliff.
Lily was the only exception, as she was more curious about what they were hiding.
After looking at them for a while, she suddenly noticed something white at the corner of Wuli's and Shuli's lips.
"Hey, why don't the skeleton fight him?" The female main character suddenly asked out loud.
"Because they don't have the guts. Duh, " the secondary character said as the skeleton lunged towards him.
"Pfft——Ahem ahem, what an idiot." Yuqi laughed, along with everyone else.
Meanwhile, Wuli and Shuli tried their best to contain their laughter until they let out a gulp sound.
Much to Lily's disappointment, there was nothing particularly different about the two as they finally revealed what was inside her mouth.
"Who would have thought standing on a skeleton was a good idea?" Wuli murmured, her mouth being empty.
"Yeah... Too naive."
Shuli added, with the same empty mouth as if they were just holding their mouth close for no reason.
As the TV show continued, Wuli and Shuli suddenly started coughing before Xiaoyun handed them a cup of water.
"You guys okay?" Leyan calmly asked, pausing the TV show to let the two catch their breath.
Both of them nodded, but Lily quickly noticed all of Xiaoyun's wives were holding in their laughter.
Even though the joke had long passed, they were still smiling at each other for some unknown reason.
"Okay, time to continue watching."
Just as Xiaoyun resumed the TV show, his phone suddenly rang.
"Who's calling on the weekend? There's no way there's some sort of emergency, can't it?"
Yuqi murmured as they all watched Xiaoyun leave the living room before he closed the backyard door.
"Can I get Chicken soup with extra fries?"
A Female voice appeared on the other side of the phone call as Xiaoyun accepted the call.
"Do you want chocolate with that or vanilla?" Xiaoyun asked as he waited for the other side to respond.
"Vanilla."
"Is there some emergency?" Xiaoyun quickly changed to his serious tone as they confirmed their secret codes.
"Um, yes, commander... You might want to come over and check it out yourself.
It's about a report from Yiming. He said that you should see it as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Xiaoyun let out a sigh as he hung up the phone call, his face looking a little annoyed.
As he headed back to the living room, he could see all of their faces looking a little worried.
"Who was it?" Leyan asked.
"The logistic office... I need to go to a meeting right now. You guys don't have to wait for me today."
As Xiaoyun headed out of the house, Nami paused the TV show as most of them wanted to watch it with him.
"Dummy... Why does he always have so much work?" Anna murmured as she and Kate looked to be the most irritated by him leaving.
"Well, you two chose to marry a husband who's always going to be busy. You did this to yourself."
Leyan's answer made both of them blush a little, but they didn't complain any further.
---
When Xiaoyun arrived at the logistics office, almost all of the officer workers were there.
They all looked a little annoyed, as only a fifth of them were supposed to be here on the weekend.
"Hey, commander! Over here."
As Xiaoyun walked over to a middle-aged woman holding a stack of documents, his brain suddenly realized something.
"Ahem, is this the report that Yiming sent back?" Xiaoyun asked as she handed the document over.
"Yes... He sent back a squad unit to carry the information back physically."
"Huh... Must be really important not to have it be sent over the radio instead."
The two headed inside the main office of the logistics department as Xiaoyun opened the document seals.
As he began to read it, he was immediately stunned by the information on the very first page.
It was a photo from what seemed to be a helicopter, taking pictures of a city entrance full of zombies.
He quickly realized the seriousness of the situation as Yiming had used something that he had been trying to avoid using.
As he flipped past the first page, he could see the photo's location, which was in Shenzhen.
The bell began to ring inside his head, and his concern level instantly rose to the highest possible level.
"Crap..."
After reading the first half of the document, he finally understood the full story of events.
From the scouting plane that caught on the zombie hordes to Yiming sending a helicopter to check it himself.
A zombie horde was forming, or already had formed, in Shenzhen and was starting to move toward them.
The second half of the document, meanwhile, contained a conversation that showed the possible route the zombies were going to take.
Lastly, the end also listed Yiming's plan to spread the zombie out in three different directions rather than dealing it as one.
Even though Yiming hadn't stated specifically how Xiaoyun could tell he already had a plan from the way he had written.
"How long have the two army corps been training for?" Xiaoyun suddenly asked.
"Almost three weeks, sir."
"That's nowhere near enough... But who else can I use to hold this bridge?"
Xiaoyun wondered as he stared at the G9411 bridge, the only one remaining that connected Guangzhou and Dongguan.
He didn't want to blow it up at all, as it would be impossible to rebuild with the technology and skills they had now.
However, Yiming's plan clearly implied that he needed to blow up in case the zombie horde went in that direction.
"Fuck... What do I do?"
After a long battle inside his head, he finally decided to reject the idea of blowing the bridge up.
It was simply too strategically important, especially since G6 was already damaged, and he had no way to repair it.
The distance it had shortened allowed his unit to move in between all three of his cities easily once Dongguan was cleared.
"Are there any other reserves I can call up?"
"No sir... All three of the army units are already out. We don't have anyone else other than the units in training.
As Xiaoyun stared at the bridge on the map, he suddenly had an idea popped up.
"We don't have to blow it up... I just need to prevent the zombies from going from the other side.
More ideas began to pop up as he finally had a sense of direction in dealing with this problem.
"Abandon cars? Concrete walls? Mines? Or Maybe I just set up a firing line on our side?"
Xiaoyun started seriously considering having a unit over at the bridge as he realized how easy it was to hold.
The bridge chokepoint didn't even require his army to be fully trained to fight it, as all they had to do was fire in a straight line.
It wasn't some difficult urban combat clearing zombies from house to house or hordes that came in all directions.
If he couldn't hold the zombies back, he could always blow up the bridge as a last desperate measure.
There was simply no way for the zombies to swim over. At least, he hadn't seen it ever happen before.
"Tell Yiming to cancel whatever he had planned. I'm going to take care of the zombie horde myself."
The confidence on Xiaoyun's face made her heart skip a beat for a second before she quickly snapped back to reality.
"Yes, sir!"
Just as she saluted Xiaoyun and was about to get ready to leave, Xiaoyun spoke up again.
"Oh, and before you go... I keep forgetting to ask about this... What's your name again?"
"It's Lin Hou Qin, sir."
