Zombie Apocalypse: Creation
Chapter 89: Chapter 89: News from the Capital
Just as Xiaoyun was about to walk back home, his phone suddenly rang.
Xiaoyun took it out only to see Yiming calling him.
"Hey Yiming, what''s wrong?"
"Someone from the outside want to talk to you. We are at the training field." Yiming voice didn''t sound urgent.
"Sure, I will be there." Xiaoyun hung up the phone and started walking toward the training field.
When Xiaoyun arrived inside the training field, Yiming and an mysterious man was standing in the shade.
"This is the person that want to talk to me?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Yes, this man is from the capital." Yiming answered it for him.
"The capital? That like two thousand kilometer." Xiaoyun looked stunned.
"Yes, he is right. I''m from the capital. I just um... landed at one of your training field." The man nervously replied.
"What? You mean you got an entire plane?" Xiaoyun looked in complete shock.
"Y-yes, well no... It''s uh crashed toward the city. I just was able to parachute myself out of the plane and landed here." The man explained.
"I can be the witness, I saw him slowly descending down with with a parachute." Yiming added.
"Well then, Mr.Pilot, can I ask why do you want to see me?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"I need you to tell this to the southern theater, the central government has fallen." The man looked down as he announced the news.
"Huh? You not joking?" Xiaoyun asked again.
"No, I''m not joking."
"How''s that possible? I though the central command got all the reinforcement from every single theater." Yiming was the one asking this time.
"Yes, the central theater did got all the reinforcement, but Beijing was just too big of a city. We simply just couldn''t retake Beijing as the endlessly zombies just kept running out. Not to mention the amount of mutants that kept running out of the city.
We could only set base at the outskirt and force a stalemate where we can''t enter the city, but the zombies couldn''t leave the city either. It was like a containment zone."
"So how did they lost? Isn''t this just a stalemate as you say?" Xiaoyun looked curious.
"The soldier was getting tired of fighting and the moral was low, especially with the snow that got worse everyday. The zombies were quickly able to adapt to the snow while people were getting tired of fighting in the front-line for almost three month nonstop, with no end in sight.
"Um, you sure you want to know?" Man Ge looked a little nervous at Xiaoyun.
"Yes, I''m sure." Xiaoyun looked determined.
"M-most of them are used as a frustration relief for the soldier since women are extremely hard to come by. Only the higher up are excluded. I didn''t participate in it I-I''m never gotten lucky with the lottery system...
I mean I would never do such a thing even if I get it." Man Ge realized what he almost just said.
"It''s fine. I understand. Yiming, can you introduce to the town to him?" Xiaoyun asked Yiming.
"Sure, I am on break anyway. I haven''t have someone from the outside to talk to. Come on lets go." Yiming patted Man Ge on the soldier and left the training field.
"Military town... what a nightmare product." Xiaoyun mumbled as he walked back home.
"The military is willing to sacrifice civilians and be fine with it... I have to be prepared. The Southern theater is a ticking time bomb." Xiaoyun suddenly just had a thought of Southern theater taking over the town as their own.
"I''m thinking too much, the town can''t even deal with a single battalion from the military. Beside, I just have to bide my time until something happens." Xiaoyun was finally at the driveway
"I need to hide this news away from the public... if the public learns about this, people will start losing faith." Xiaoyun pulled out his phone to call Yiming.
"Hey Yiming, is Man Ge next to you right now?"
"Yeah, he''s right here."
"Can you tell him to stay silent on the whole thing we just talked about? We can''t have this news go into the public."
"No problem, I already warn him about it. He promised he won''t say anything."
"Okay then." Xiaoyun hung up and walked to the porch.
Xiaoyun unlocked the door and goes inside the house.
"Hey Xiaoyun! What did you do for the afternoon?" Leyan asked.
The five of them were all sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Just visited the factory and talked to Yiming about something. Anyway, wake me up when dinner is ready. I''m a little sleepy." Xiaoyun walked upstairs to his room.
Xiaoyun was back in his office room as the bed sheet was changed to a new one already.
Xiaoyun changed back to his pajama and laid onto the bed.
"How can I expand faster? The outskirt is almost completely cleared out. Within a month or two the entire area would be cleared... Maybe its time to start sending rescue mission to clear the city proper. We got the firepower to do it now right?
But Guangzhou is two-third the size of Beijing, if the military failed to do it, how can I do it with two company... No I don''t need to capture the city, I''m just rescuing the people inside." Xiaoyun realized he almost dug himself into a hole.
