When Xiaoyun woke up, Yuqi was still asleep.

    Xiaoyun check the clock and it was already eight o''clock, so he woke Yuqi up as she hate being late to work.

    Yuqi and Xiaoyun looked at each other as both of them could smell each other''s sweat and can see the stain on each other''s body from last night.

    "Lets go take a shower." Yuqi suggested.

    "Good idea." The two got out of the bed and went to the restroom.

    By the time the two got downstairs, it was almost nine o''clock.

    All of them were already off to work, even Lily was off to school.

    "All your fault you dummy! Now we are late." Yuqi punched Xiaoyun on the shoulder.

    "Yeah yeah, I just couldn''t hold myself after seeing your beautiful body in the shower." Xiaoyun remembered her doubt on her own body last night.

    "S-shut up, your flattering won''t work on me." Yuqi''s voice sounded angry but her face''s smile tell Xiaoyun that it worked.

    The two started eating the breakfast left on the table.

    By the time they got to the office, they were thirty minutes late.

    "What took you two so long?" Yueyue was already at the office chair working.

    "This dummy just couldn''t hold it in the morning." Yuqi complained as she sat down at the main desk.

    "Yeah he always does that." Yueyue thought back to the few days ago.

    "Hey its not my fault you all are so sexy." Xiaoyun complimented the two.

    "Shut up." The two both yelled as if they can see through Xiaoyun''s tactic.

    "Whatever, I''m just telling the truth." Xiaoyun went back to work.

    ---

    As the clock approaches noon, Xiaoyun suddenly got a phone call.

    "Yiming what wrong?"

    "Can you come to the gate right now? An higher up want to talk to you."

    "Okay I''ll be right there." Xiaoyun hung up the phone.

    "You guys can go eat lunch together later, I need to go do something." Xiaoyun stood up and left the office.

    When Xiaoyun arrived at the gates, he could see Yiming standing on the wall.

    Xiaoyun walked up the stair and looked down. It was only a single Jeep style car in front of the gate.

    "Yiming why you call me here?" Xiaoyun asked.

    "Apparently he want to talk to you. He showed me his military rank and everything. So I think he is legitimately wanting to talk to you." Yiming replied.

    "Well then lets go talk to him." The two walked back downstairs and signaled the bridge to be lowered.

    The man walked forward to Xiaoyun and Yiming.

    "That not up to me, you would need to ask the general." The man shrugged.

    "Bullshit, they don''t have enough bombs to bomb the city. I remember correctly most of the air division and ammo was sent to the capital when the outbreak happened." Yiming pointed out his lies again.

    "Oh we got an insider, can I ask what''s your former rank sir?" The man asked.

    "None of your business." Yiming refused to answer it.

    "How about this, I give you ten boxes? Your car can''t even hold that much." Xiaoyun pointed at the back of the car.

    "Fine, just load as much as you can. Then I will call my superior that you are in the safety zone." The man went back inside the car.

    Xiaoyun told the soldier bring the boxes of canned food here.

    After ten minute, an pickup truck with exact ten boxes was here.

    The soldier loaded the food into the car and went back to the wall.

    "You happy?" Xiaoyun asked.

    "Yes I''m happy. Let me get out my phone." Xiaoyun could see the man taking out a satellite phone.

    "Hey Tianci, yeah its me. I got an truck full of food. You mind marking the town we named 233 to be safe zone? Yeah the one next to the city. Okay I''m driving back right now." The man hung up the phone.

    "Well you guys are in the safe zone now. Just make sure you guys don''t go near the city. Although we aren''t bombing it, I heard that something is happening in the city with some zombies. Apparently there has been some sort of zombie leader inside it."

    "How you guys know that if you can''t go inside the city?" Xiaoyun asked.

    "With satellite duh." The man pointed up in the sky.

    "Anyway I need to get going now. Good luck to your town." The man drove off.

    "Why do I feel like we just got robbed?" Xiaoyun mumbled.

    "Because we did, we just got extorted... I never expected the military to be run like a bandit camp." Yiming let out a sigh.

    "Oh well, it wasn''t that much food anyway. No need to cry over spilled milk I guess." The two entered back to the town.

    ---

    When Xiaoyun got back to the office, it was already one o''clock pass noon.

    "Where did you go?" Yuqi asked as she sat on her chair.

    "Being forced to go pay protection fee." Xiaoyun replied.

    "By who?" Yueyue curiously asked.

    "The military. I guess they are running out of food so they had been demanding food from every town. Which included us." Xiaoyun explained.

    "Isn''t that extortion? Why don''t we just fight back?" Yueyue suggested it without thinking.

    "You remember few days ago the ground shaking? That was a single bombing run by them. We aren''t strong enough to fight them, not even close." Xiaoyun immediately rejected that idea.

    "Oh." Yueyue realized how naive her idea was.

    "I hope we don''t have to fight them... our enemy are still the zombies in the cities." Yuqi stated.

    "Yeah you right, we shouldn''t be infighting in a crisis like this." Xiaoyun looked down as he finish speaking.
