Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

A light suddenly appeared on his shoulder, covering the area where his arm was supposed to be.

Right before their eyes, a replica of the Mingxu's original arm was in place, almost as if nothing had ever happened.

However, the flesh of his arm still on the floor was a clear indication that it had not just been reattached.

"Xiaoyun you——"

"Shush, just listen to me and leave the tent. I can deal with this myself."

Mingxu hesitated for a second but eventually left the tent as Xiaoyun stood back up.

"You aren't going to hide your ability at all?"

Liu Peng asked, looking a little surprised that Xiaoyun had just shown an ability that they had never seen before.

"Why do I need to hide something for someone who's about to die?"

As Xiaoyun cracked his knuckles and stretched his arm, both Liu Peng and Chen Gang didn't make a move first.

Instead, they both seemingly waited for him to make a move.

'You guys aren't going to attack me?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

Both of them remained silent, but Liu Peng finally made his first move as he struck Xiaoyun with his extended claws.

However, Xiaoyun easily held it with his two fingers, trapping it in place before Liu Peng shrank it back to normal.

All these were within a second, shocking the two of them as their first attack had failed.

"Is that all you got?"

This time, Liu Peng finally charged forward with his body, slashing toward Xiaoyun with his claws.

Once again, Xiaoyun catches it with his bare hand, seemingly to be unaffected by the sharpness.

"You guys need some upgrades before messing with me next time."

As Xiaoyun crumbled the claws into pieces, Liu Peng quickly detached his claws before growing a new one.

"How about we call it a draw?"

Liu Peng finally spoke up, his voice and face showing a little bit of fear towards him.

"Chen Gang, you aren't going to do anything?"

Xiaoyun ignored his suggestion, curiously asking the other one after noticing him sitting on the bed in silence the whole time.

"We apologize for our ignorance. How can we make up to you so we can leave in peace?"

"Death."

As Xiaoyun charged forward with the pieces of claws, a sudden cut appeared right on his neck before another one appeared on his chest.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Blood immediately began to spew out right onto the floor, but Chen Gang didn't lower his guard a single bit.

After a few seconds, the bleeding stopped as if the cut had healed up on its own.

"What is that ability?"

"If I tell you, can we leave?"

"Nope."

This time, Xiaoyun pulled out his pistol, firing several rounds right at their heads.

But not a single one of them landed, with all of the shots narrowingly missing their heads.

"You have to make this difficult for me."

As Xiaoyun put away his pistol, he quickly created a thin sheet of metal before throwing it right at their face.

Once again, the two of them both dodged the projectile, but right behind the sheet of metal was a live grenade.

Within a few milliseconds, the two of them immediately tried to run away, but it was far too late.

The explosion went right off, engulfing the two in dark smoke as Xiaoyun held a sword in hand.

Out of nowhere, another cut appeared right onto Xiaoyun's arm this time, seemingly aiming at his head if it wasn't for him walking one step back.

"Your attack is just a thin line, isn't it?" Xiaoyun murmured as he finally caught a glimpse of the thing cutting him.

Neither of them spoke up as the smoke dissipated, revealing the two still standing there perfectly fine.

However, both of their cloaks had been destroyed, with pieces of them scattered all over the floor.

At the same time, their body was now completely exposed for Xiaoyun to see, even though there wasn't much to see in the first place.

Just as Xiaoyun expected, Chen Gang's body was almost the same as Liu Peng's, except for a giant stitch still on the side of its head.

"We will never kill each other at this rate. How about we both take a step back and leave each other alone——"

Before Chen Gang could finish his offer, a knife suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Xiaoyun was only standing an inch away from him, holding the knife.

"Goodbye."

"Y-You killed Chen Gang!"

Liu Peng panicked as he immediately turned around and tried to run away, but another knife appeared right on the back of his head.

"Goodbye to you as well."

With both of their body dropping dead on the floor, Xiaoyun sighed as he immediately collapsed onto the floor.

"Fuck, my muscle is so sore."

Xiaoyun groaned in pain as he had moved way faster than ever before, which seemed to have a pretty severe side effect.

He could barely move, unable to feel his leg, arm, or any other muscle in his body as his eyes shut down.

The only two things in his body that were still working were his heart and lungs, barely moving to keep him alive.

If a single person walked into the room with a pencil and stabbed his head, he wouldn't even be able to fight back.

After almost lying on the floor for almost thirty minutes, he could finally feel some of his muscles again.

Slowly, he sat back up before supporting himself with the field hospital's operating table.

"Never doing that again..." Xiaoyun murmured as he examined the two dead bodies.

"Tianci would probably be overjoyed to be able to test their bodies."

Xiaoyun quickly created a giant trashbag before putting both of their bodies and Mingxu's arms inside.

After tying the trashbag together, Xiaoyun finally headed out of the room.

However, he was instantly greeted with almost thousands of guns and rockets aimed right at his head.

"Woah, what is this for?"

"Y-You the real Xiaoyun?"

Mingxu nervously asked as some of the soldiers had already lowered their weapons, but some kept them up after hearing Mingxu's uncertainty.

"Of course, I am the real Xiaoyun. Nice arm you got there... A real shame if someone cuts them."

Mingxu quickly signaled the soldiers to lower their rifles before he walked past all of the soldiers.

To Xiaoyun's surprise, Mingxu suddenly walked even closer to give him a warm hug.

"Thank you..."

After the hug, Mingxu quickly took a step back before saluting him right in front of everyone.

"Commander Xiaoyun! Colonel Mingxu is reporting for duty!"

"Comrade Mingxu, you and your soldiers are free to go. Thank you for your service."

Mingxu didn't say anything, but he began heading back towards his camp, with all of the soldiers saluting Xiaoyun before leaving.

At the same time, he quickly noticed several soldiers from the other three Colonels standing nearby, all seemingly watching it unfold.

"Oh boy, why do I feel like there's going to be some random-ass news report about this?"

-----

When everything was done and dusted, it was already the next day.

After sending the trash bag back to Luoping, Xiaoyun quickly ordered the release of the report he had made regarding the accident.

Most soldiers were initially skeptical until footage inside a different Zhaoqing metro entrance was shown.

This time, they could see the invisible zombie turning visible after the ziplock bag filled with blood was unzipped.

Within seconds, all the invisible zombies appeared in the metro, rushing towards the bag filled with blood.

But after realizing it wasn't a living thing, they all remained still before blending into the environment.

Even though a small fraction of them questioned how the footage was recorded, Xiaoyun didn't offer any of them an explanation for it.

Other than the accident, Xiaoyun watched the operation resume on the ground for a few days, with all of the metros being sealed up.

For now, the metros were being put on the back burner, being the lowest priority compared to clearing the city itself.

But just as he was about to head back to Luoping, he finally got a surprise visitor from Luoping.

"Xiaoyun! Why the hell are you at the frontline? I thought you said you were in Guangzhou!"

Yueyue's face was full of anger as she stood inside the tent right across from him.

"Does the others already know about it?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"What do you think? Do you really think you can hide here for almost a week and a half?"

"I was busy. It was an emergency that I had to deal with."

"Hmph! You could have just said you're attending to an emergency rather than lying to us."

"My bad, my bad... I'm going to head back to Luoping after Yezi gets back here. You can go back to Luoping now——"

Before Xiaoyun finished talking, the tent flap suddenly opened, revealing a man in a military uniform.

"2nd Army Corp General on duty!"

Yezi yelled out loud as he stepped inside the tent, his face looking completely different compared to when he left.

"You snitched on me, didn't you?" Xiaoyun questioned as his face looked a little disappointed.

"I can't really hold back when your wife keeps pressuring Huayi for me to tell the truth." Yezi apologized.

Xiaoyun didn't say anything further, getting up from his seat before patting him on the back.

"Good luck. Don't mess up the job again."

"I won't."
