Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 454: Logistic of the Expedition

Xiaoyun's reassurance didn't work at all, as they still had their doubts. But they realized there was no way for them to stop him.

"Fine, but you better not bring Kate with you," Leyan demanded, with all of them agreeing with her.

"Of course. Kate and I already went over to check the bridge out. I'm definitely bringing her with me."

As the dinner ended, all of them left Xiaoyun alone in the bedroom for the night, letting him catch a break instead of squeezing him dry.

When the next day arrived, Xiaoyun gave each of them a passionate hug and a kiss to say goodbye until he got to Lily.

Seeing all of his wives staring dead in the eyes, Xiaoyun only hugged her before getting ready to leave with Kate.

"Stay safe!"

"We will!"

As Kate started up the car and began driving toward the logistics office, Xiaoyun's mind was already thinking of Humen Bridge.

The drive didn't last long, as they arrived at the parking lot within a minute of driving.

"Xiaoyun, you there?" Kate asked, noticing him sitting still despite the car already in park mode.

"Sorry."

After the two of them got out of the car, they began walking towards the logistics building.

While walking past the training field, they could already see two Army Corp members standing underneath the hot sun, waiting.

As Xiaoyun arrived in the main lobby, Hou Qin was already waiting, with two assistants standing right behind her.

"Commander, everything is ready." Hou Qin stated as she saluted him.

"Good... Can I talk to you for a second?"

Hou Qin nodded as she guided Xiaoyun all the way back to her private office before she tried to close the door.

"No need to close it."

Xiaoyun stopped her as he didn't want rumors between him and Hou Qin that could ruin her reputation.

Especially with the newspapers, which always seem to start gossiping with any female he comes in contact with.

With Kate and Hou Qin's assistant standing right outside the door, Xiaoyun finally revealed his intention.

"Wuli is back in the military duty right now, right?"

"Yes. She's currently training alongside the soldiers for two months until she returns to full-time duty."

"I want you to change her position from military officer to logistic department."

"Commander... I don't think you want to do that." Hou Qin warned, her face looking a little hesitant.

"Why not? Is it not possible?"

"It is possible, but she specifically stated she wanted to go back to her unit after she finished training."

"That's not happening."

Xiaoyun immediately rejected the suggestion as she would be all the way in Zhaoqing with Yiming's unit.

But after a short silence, Xiaoyun quickly changed his mind after realizing how selfish he sounded.

Especially when he was saying it in front of another woman on rejecting a woman's ability to perform a combat role.

"I mean, she can have a combat role. But she can't have her unit back since her unit already has a Colonel.

It will cause a disconnect when she has been out of the military for almost half a year now. You understand what I mean, right?"

After a short silence, Hou Qin finally spoke up.

"Commander, I understand you don't want her to face combat because she's your wife and a mother to your kid.

But I can tell Wuli really wants to fight alongside her comrades... I'll transfer her to my department——"

"Nevermind. Just ignore what I just said earlier... Just have her lead the other army corp instead."

Hou Qin looked a little relieved upon hearing Xiaoyun's decision, even though she could still tell Xiaoyun was still against it.

It was obvious he was only trying to stall it for now since the other army corps was nowhere near having any sort of combat roles.

But at least it still had the potential to be deployed in the future unless Xiaoyun changed his mind again.

"Give this directive to Wuli... When I'm gone, she will be the commander-in-chief until I come back."

"Yes, sir."

Hou Qin noted, despite technically being the highest-ranking military member in Luoping if Xiaoyun was gone.

She knew her capability was only for logistics, as she never had any experience in leading an army.

If it hadn't been for Yiming's past selection of her as his assistant, she would have never had the opportunity to be the head of the department.

"Just send a radio to my unit if there's an emergency that you or Wuli can't decide on."

As Xiaoyun gave his order and turned around, Hou Qin's heart skipped a beat as his body covered the sun.

When she snapped back to reality, he was already gone, and her two assistants were coming into the room.

"Ahem, get ready. We have a lot of things to do today." Hou Qin murmured as she took out a report from her desk. Your next chapter awaits on mvl

Right at the very top was a report of the military warehouses suddenly becoming full, with Xiaoyun being the only one who had entered it.

She quickly crumbled it into pieces before throwing it into the trashcan, not digging any deeper as she headed towards the training field.

As Xiaoyun arrived at the top of the training field's stage, all of the soldiers were looking up to him.

Not a single face was familiar to him, yet he stood firm, undeterred by his fellow comrades already fully geared up.

"Good morning everyone... I know some of you might be confused about why you're standing here early in the morning today.

But before I explain why, most of you probably already know that our comrades are currently in Zhaoqing and Dongguan, right?"

As Xiaoyun paused, most of the soldiers nodded slightly, as the news had already spread throughout the town.

"Currently, there is a zombie horde that is located in Shenzhen heading towards Yiming's 2nd Army Corp.

However, since Yiming's army is already busy clearing Dongguan, do you all think they should be responsible for dealing with two things at once?"

"No, sir!" One of the soldiers in the crowd yelled.

"To alleviate their stress, I will be personally leading you all to begin the real combat experience."

The moment Xiaoyun finished talking, the entire crowd of soldiers burst into wildly different emotions.

Some looked nervous, while others looked a little afraid. But most were excited, which was exactly what Xiaoyun wanted to see.

"Unfortunately, only one Army Corp will be assisting the fight against the zombie horde."

Within seconds, most of the soldier's face turned into frowns, seemingly as if they were disappointed in his decision.

"I will be now announcing which Army Corp will be going... The 3rd Army Corp will be going with me."

The soldier's emotion changed once again, with the left side filled with excitement and the right side filled with even more disappointment.

"Do not be disappointed that you didn't get called. Remember, every ounce of sweat in the training is one ounce of blood saved in the war.

There will be a time when you will be assigned to one of the combat zones currently active to rotate for the 1st and 2nd Army Corps."

Xiaoyun's ending message seemed to make the other half of the soldiers look much happier.

Their training wasn't just going to waste, as there was now a set time for them to prove themselves in the future.

"4th Army Copr, you're all dismissed."

As one-half of the soldiers began heading towards the training zone, the other half was still filled with excitement.

"3rd Army Corp, please gather all of your belongings and get ready to leave... We'll be marching there on foot."

Xiaoyun could see the excitement quickly disappearing once again the moment he mentioned the word marching.

Still, he didn't speak any further as the soldiers began to return to their dorms to gather their belongings.

"Xiaoyun, why are we marching on foot instead of using cars?" Kate questioned as he stepped down the stage.

"Because the soldiers don't have a car. Why should I be the only one having a car?

You can take the car and drive there first if you want... Or you can go inside the supply trucks instead."

After a short consideration, Kate didn't take either of the choices, opting to march with him instead.

"Are you sure you want to march with me? We'll be walking for probably one or two days."

"It's fine... There's no point in me driving there in an hour anyway. But I didn't pack anything——"

"I already packed it for you."

After Xiaoyun threw a bag over to Kate, she let out a sigh before putting it around her back.

"Why did I sign up for this... I knew I should have just stayed in the factory with Anna."

"Too bad you're stuck with me... Anyway, time to leave."

Xiaoyun quickly created a bag filled with equipment for himself as well before heading down to the front entrance with Kate.
