Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

When Xiaoyun finished showering, he quickly threw his dirty clothes into the washing machine.

"Man, that was a satisfying hot shower..."

After cloning a fresh pair of clothes, he finally headed to the second-floor hallway before stopping by the room on the right.

"Why was Yueyue hiding the room?"

He hesitated for a second but chose to keep it a secret for now as he headed downstairs to the living room.

"Daddy!"

As all four of the kids started running towards him, Xiaoyun warmly sat down on the floor and gave each one a warm hug.

"You guys only hugged me because I took a shower, wasn't it?"

The three older ones shyly looked to the floor, except for Xuanhua, who looked a little confused by what he said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Dada!"

"Yes, I'm here. You four behave well at home, right?"

Seeing all four of them nodding, Xiaoyun patted them on the head before heading over to Wuli and Shuli, sitting on the sofa.

"You two miss me?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as the two of them gently put their baby in his arms.

The two babies didn't really respond, so Xiaoyun took it as a yes as he kissed them on the forehead.

"Be good to your mommy, okay?"

After handing the two babies back to their mother, Xiaoyun quickly noticed the other four babies on the floor looked a little grumpy.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you guys a kiss as well... Muah! Muah! Muah! Muah! Now you all happy?"

Rather than what Xiaoyun imagined, the four kids quickly ran away from him before going over to Wuli's and Shuli's sides.

"They are probably just a little hungry. You're overthinking it, Xiaoyun."

Shuli pointed out as she helped Yongyi and Lianrong up from the ground before putting them onto the sofa.

"They haven't eaten lunch yet. So that's probably why as well." Wuli added, helping Qiaolan and Xuanhua to the sofa as well.

"I guess you're right..."

Xiaoyun felt a little defeated as the four babies started playing with each other on the sofa, almost as if they had forgotten what had just happened.

"Xiaoyun, can you go call their moms over to the kitchen? We don't really have enough milk to feed them." Shuli quietly asked.

"Okay."

Arriving in the kitchen, he immediately noticed the rest of the girls all standing behind the countertop, all watching Leyan.

"Now, this is a lesson you all need to learn. Killing a fish is not that hard. Just smack the head here with the clever like this."

"You guys killing fish?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he tried to use his height to peek around the crowds of people.

"Yeah... You took a shower that fast already?"

Leyan asked as the girls watched her in silence, moving the meat cleaver through the gills.

"Wasn't that long. Oh, Wuli and Shuli told me to come in and tell you guys that the babies are hungry right now."

"They can wait just a bit," Yuqi said as the others chose to watch Leyan closely.

Xiaoyun didn't hurry them any further, opting to head back to the living room and wait for lunch to be cooked.

An hour later...

As the various plates of food were served onto the table, all ten of the girls were seated in their seats.

Although there was a kid's table, all the kids were in their mothers' arms, seemingly exhausted from playing so much.

"Xiaoyun, you should move your chopstick first." Leyan pointed out.

"Do we really have to do this tradition?" Xiaoyun asked, noticing not a single one of them had moved their chopstick.

"We are pretty much moving into a new house. You're the man of the house."

Xiaoyun didn't argue any further, moving his chopstick first as the other ten immediately followed right behind him.

"Babe, what emergency was it that you needed to head out like this?" Yuqi curiously asked.

"It's a long story..."

After he explained what he had experienced in Zhaoqing with Kate's part left out, they were all a bit scared and shocked.

"So the zombies can turn invisible in mass? That's like nightmare fuels." Yueyue murmured.

"Well, yeah. But they seem to stay inside the metro until something triggers them, which is why I ordered to seal them."

"How unlucky is it for Yezi to face that out of all things..." Nami murmured as she felt a little bad.

"You didn't fire him over that, did you?" Leyan worryingly asked.

"Of course not. Everyone would have made the same mistake... You can tell that to Huayi later."

Leyan's face blushed a little as Xiaoyun revealed what she was about to do after dinner.

"Am I the only one who's more scared by those two mutated humans? Infinite-length claws and mind reading sounds like a fantasy power."

Wuli raised her concern as she thought back to the battle Xiaoyun had described.

"No one can kill Xiaoyun. Let's be real for a moment at this point..."

Anna murmured as her mind could still remember seeing Xiaoyun tanking a bullet with barely any effort.

"Still... Also, how did they get so close to you in the first place like that?" Wuli curiously asked.

"They just have an invisible cloak... Actually, here... Yueyue, take this."

As Xiaoyun created a black cloak and handed it over to her, she was immediately surprised by the gift.

"Y-You sure you're giving me this?"

"I was planning to give you this a long time ago. I just got a little busy and forgot about it——"

"Yueyue, you better not do anything stupid with it. That thing isn't an immunity shield for you."

Leyan immediately interrupted Xiaoyun, as she could already imagine the situation Yueyue puts herself into with this tool.

"I promise I won't! I'm only going to use it in the safest conditions possible."

Leyan didn't say anything else as she grumpily looked towards Xiaoyun with an unhappy look.

"I'm sure Yueyue will use it safely once I teach her later... Ahem, let's keep eating."

As the lunch resumed, Xuanhua suddenly started crying before all of the babies started crying.

"Oh snap, they must be hungry."

Watching them all unbuttoning their blouse, Xiaoyun didn't remotely hide his glare a single bit.

Nor did any of them bother hiding it at this point, as they had already gotten used to breastfeeding in front of their husband.

Except for the three trio of Kate, Anna, and Tianci, whose faces immediately blushed a little as they tried their best to focus on eating.

"Tianci, how many months do you have left?" Xiaoyun suddenly asked as he finished up most of his rice in his bowl.

"I-I think my labor date is in October... So five months from now."

"Honey, how could you forget about that? You asked this like three times already." Leyan questioned.

"I'm just too busy, okay?" Xiaoyun nervously replied as he wiped an invisible sweat off his forehead.

All of them looked a little disappointed in him, but all he could do was continue eating to hide the awkwardness.

"I'm sure Brother Xiaoyun isn't doing this on purpose." Lily quietly whispered.

"Lily, don't defend him. Think about it this way: how would you feel if he forgot about your birthday?" Leyan asked.

"I remember her birthday. Don't try to push this over to me." Xiaoyun interrupted.

"Really? Then when is Lily's birthday?"

Xiaoyun's brain froze for a second, but he eventually came up with an answer.

"It's in July, right?"

"When in July?"

Xiaoyun quickly got up from his seat, running over to the rice cooker to hide his embarrassment as all of the girls let out a chuckle.

"He can't even remember your birthday. I bet he doesn't even remember our birthday either." Yuqi quickly added fuel to the flame.

"How about we start asking what our birthday is one by one, and we use that to decide tonight?"

Shuli's suggestion was instantly accepted, but Xiaoyun quickly put his bowl down right into the sink.

"I'm full."

Seeing him avoiding the questioning, the girls once again let out a chuckle, confusing the kids as they couldn't understand what was happening.

"M-Mom, why's funny?" Yongyi curiously asked as he let go of Leyan's nip.

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

The rest of the dinner was quickly finished, and they began heading to the living room one by one until only Leyan remained to clean up.

Xiaoyun instantly decided to head back to the kitchen to help her clean, avoiding his wives once again as Nami put on a TV show. Continue your journey at empire

"Leyan, let me clean the table. Bring Yongyi with you."

The offer was accepted as Leyan happily carried Yongyi in her arms, leaving Xiaoyun alone in the kitchen.

"Whew... That could have been so bad. I need to really start making note dates on my phone."

Xiaoyun thought to himself as he gathered the dirty dishes and put them into the dishwasher before heading to the table with a wet towel.
