After Guo Weihui's previous assistant turned into a corpse, a new one was appointed.
"Governor, your daughter Guo Xiaoxiao left again without permission this afternoon."
What?
Guo Weihui felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
This beloved daughter of his was nothing but trouble.
"Go find her and bring her back immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, a tall, striking woman with an air of strength strode in.
She was wearing a police uniform.
There were still traces of dried blood on her.
"Dad, you wanted to see me?"
Seeing that his daughter was safe, Guo Weihui let out a sigh of relief. "Xiaoxiao, why can't you just listen for once? You ran off again."
"I've told you before—"
"The entire city is in crisis, we might evacuate at any moment. I told you not to run around!"
Guo Xiaoxiao's expression turned bitter upon hearing the word "evacuate."
"Dad, if we leave, what happens to the 800,000 citizens of the city?"
"Can I still wear this uniform with pride?"
Guo Weihui let out a long sigh.
His daughter was still too young.
"Xiaoxiao, I know you're a good officer, but if you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect others?"
"Listen to your father. Get on the helicopter and evacuate S City immediately."
Guo Xiaoxiao's heart jolted.
"If you want to go, go. I'm staying."
"Don't worry."
"If it really gets to the point of no return, I'll leave on my own."
"As long as I have bullets in my gun—"
"No one can stop me!"
That statement referred not only to the Zombies in the city, but also to Guo Weihui's security team—hinting they shouldn't try to stop her.
Guo Xiaoxiao wasn't being stubborn out of blind passion.
She was the star of the police force and a top-tier sharpshooter. Her dual-wielding gun skills were second to none.
Click—the sound of a bullet being chambered.
Guo Xiaoxiao swept a vigilant gaze across the guards in the office, then slowly backed out.
"This girl..."
Guo Weihui knew his daughter's temperament. Helplessly, he ordered that his wife and son be escorted away first.
He still had to oversee the upcoming evacuation.
Just then—
The office phone rang.
"Hello, this is Guo Weihui."
"What? Hold S City to the death?"
"Reinforcements are coming tomorrow?"
The call ended, but Guo Weihui didn't lower the phone from his ear for a long time.
He had just received orders to hold S City at all costs.
The reason: across the entire country—and even the world—only S City had Infecteds.
Other cities currently only had T-Virus Mutants.
Therefore—
No matter the cost, the Infecteds of S City must not be allowed to escape.
Fortunately, all major military regions were dispatching troops. Within three days, 30,000 reinforcements would arrive in waves.
The first wave of 5,000 soldiers would arrive tomorrow.
"Thirty thousand troops..."
"Probably no more than ten thousand will actually enter the city. The other twenty thousand will hold the outer checkpoints, ensuring not even a dog gets out of S City."
After more than a decade as Governor,
Guo Weihui understood the higher-ups' intent very clearly.
"So be it. Issue my order—we hold S City to the death."
"Also, relocate the command center to the southern suburbs."
Guo Weihui wasn't taking any chances. Since S City had Infecteds, other cities might develop them too.
That possibility wasn't far-fetched.
If that day really came,
It would be the end—not just for the nation, but for the entire world.
At that point, orders wouldn't matter. They would have to retreat no matter what.
……
4:00 AM.
Xiao Yu and An Xiaoran had finished clearing out the grain depot.
Five silos, totaling 25,000 tons of grain.
15,000 tons of rice.
10,000 tons of wheat.
Absolutely incredible!
Having lived through the apocalypse, Xiao Yu knew exactly what food meant. He would never feel like it was too much.
But now, whether it was early or late,
There was no point in continuing to scavenge. It was better to return and rest, and try to fix their sleep schedule.
The city was too dangerous at night.
"Let's go. Time to sleep."
The four of them exited the grain depot. Xiao Yu summoned the sports car from his Space Warehouse. Han Kexin floored the gas pedal.
They were soon back at Jinhu Hotel.
With the thick wooden door of the presidential suite shut,
A sense of security softened the tension of the urban crisis, and exhaustion quickly washed over them.
Xiao Yu slumped on the sofa.
Han Kexin immediately brought him a glass of water, then started heating a pack of self-heating rice.
An Xiaoran was also quite worn out and rested her head on Xiao Yu's lap.
Anna, on the other hand, didn't feel too tired. She and Han Kexin didn't have Space Warehouse abilities—they'd mostly been on lookout duty.
"Captain, let me massage your head."
"Mm," Xiao Yu replied.
Anna's fair fingers gently massaged his temples, relaxing his entire body.
Xiao Yu lit a cigarette and closed his eyes, planning the next day's objectives.
Even though they had enough food,
Once the legion was formed, they couldn't rely solely on existing stock—they would have to grow their own grains and vegetables.
So tomorrow, they had to hit the seed company.
Next was the meat supply.
Chickens, ducks, and geese were fine. Since they laid eggs, they could use light bulbs to incubate chicks.
The real issue was pigs, cows, and sheep.
With the T-Virus fully spreading, most land livestock would be bitten to death by Zombies.
They needed to get baby livestock in advance.
Then there were the medicines.
Even though the team's attributes had improved, they might still get injured.
They had to stock up on various medicines too.
With the plans settled,
Xiao Yu opened his eyes and felt something soft behind his head.
He turned around—
What the heck, he'd been resting against Anna's chest pillow all this time.
And when he turned just now, he'd accidentally added another layer of soft contact...
