Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

As the sun sets on the horizon, most of the girls are sitting in the beach chairs, waiting for Xiaoyun to set everything up.

"How are you going to have a BBQ without a grill?" Leyan asked the question that was in everyone's mind.

"Watch this."

As Xiaoyun stood in front of an empty area, an entire grill suddenly appeared out of thin air right before their eyes.

"I found an abandoned grill back when I was scouting in Foshan... Even though I didn't bring it back.

It's not that hard for me to recreate a replica of it... Now we can BBQ anytime we want."

Xiaoyun replied as he began adding charcoal to the fuel area, with Yueyue moving an entire table over to put ingredients.

"Sometimes I wish I had your ability... I can't imagine all the things I can create with it."

Anna commented as she watched Xiaoyun create another bag of charcoal as extra on the side.

"Well, it's not like I can just create a whole tank or a plane out of thin air. Even if you give me a blueprint, I can't clone it."

Xiaoyun created a few pieces of wood shed before lighting it up on fire, putting his hands together to blow oxygen into the burning wood.

"Still... If I were the mayor, I would shove you in the warehouse to create raw material nonstop." Anna pointed out.

"I mean, we don't really need me to do that anymore, right? Isn't there enough stuff left at all the harbors before the outbreak?"

"I guess..."

As the charcoal began to heat up, Xiaoyun turned around and placed a bunch of meat on the empty plates.

"Yueyue, can you bring me some plates from the inside to put the food in?"

"Sure."

With Yueyue heading inside the house, Xiaoyun began piecing the different ingredients to each side.

"What do you guys want to eat?"

"Steak!" Yuqi excitedly yelled out first.

"Bacon would be nice," Nami added.

"Hotdog sounds great. I haven't eaten that for so long..." Kate murmured as she watched Xiaoyun start creating all kinds of ingredients.

"Stop saying so much meat. Just some grill lectures are fine..." Leyan lectured as she knocked all three of her daughter's heads.

"Okay then. I'm just going to make burgers and hotdogs... Yueyue, what do you want?"

Xiaoyun asked as Yueyue came back with more plates to put stuff on.

"How about some lamp chuan? And maybe put them into different combinations."

"Sure, how about some of you help make those chuan——Oh, snap."

Xiaoyun quickly turned back around and began oiling up the grill grates with some canola oil.

All of the girls immediately got up from their seats and made their own Chuan as Xiaoyun started grilling several meat patties.

An hour later...

The moon rose on the horizon, replacing the sunlight that had once lit up the sky.

It wasn't too cold outside, as the heat from the sunlight remained, with only a gentle wind blowing passing once in a while.

All of the girls were sitting in the beach chair, not making a single movement as all their bellies formed a little bulge.

"Come on, get up. Don't sit down after you just finish eating." Leyan lectured, despite sitting down herself as well.

"I can't. I'm too full... Xiaoyun, you're cooking every day. I don't care what job you're planning to do."

Yuqi's demand was met with cheers from all of the girls, and even Leyan couldn't argue against it as she ate the most today.

"Hell no. I'll cook on the weekend at most... I'm already burnt out when I just cooked for a single day."

As Xiaoyun closed the grill and finally finished cleaning it, he went over to Leyan before sitting down next to her.

"Babe... I understand what you have to go through every day now." Xiaoyun whispered as he barely had any energy after cooking for so long.

"Hmph... I told you. If you give them an inch, they start making the most ridiculous demands for food."

Despite Leyan's apparent anger on her face, Xiaoyun could feel she was genuinely happy seeing him understand her work.

"I still can't believe the day is almost over now," Yuqi murmured as she held Lianrong in her arms, who unfortunately couldn't have any of the food.

"Yeah... It felt so long since the last time we had spent time together like a family." Yueyue added as she held her own kid as well.

"It only has been a month. It's not that long." Wuli argued back, but her face was full of happiness.

"Well, I'm going to be free for the entire foreseeable future. I ain't going to go anywhere."

Hearing Xiaoyun's answer, all of the girls looked a little shocked.

"Really? You're just going to stay in Luoping now?" Nami curiously asked.

"Yeah. There's no point in me directing the front line anymore. I'll just be the commander in chief in the backline."

Xiaoyun murmured as he thought back to the military reform the three of them had developed together.

"We finally get to have you every night..."

Shuli's murmurs made all the girls blush, as it was what they had in mind as well, except Lily and Anna, who were too busy playing with Yongyi.

As the moon rises into the sky, they all choose to remain outside, talking to each other and sharing different things that had happened.

All of the babies had fallen asleep peacefully in the living room's crib, allowing them to have a few drinks while chattering.

Except for Wuli, Shuli, and Tianci, whose drinks were replaced with apple cider.

"Ahem, I have an announcement to make."

Kate suddenly got up from her seat, feeling a false sense of confidence as her face appeared a little drunk.

"Hm?"

"Anna and I had been thinking... It's probably better for us to move out." Kate announced after everyone's attention was on her.

A moment of awkward silence appeared until Leyan broke it with her question.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No. There's nothing wrong. I actually love living with you guys. But we.."

Seeing Kate fall into silence, freezing a little as if she was too embarrassed to say it out, Anna decided to step in to finish it.

"We just feel guilty. No, that's not the right word... Embarrassed? That sounds too direct."

After a short recovery, Anna finally calmed back down a little.

"We feel like we shouldn't interrupt your guy's personal life. I know you guys had been holding back because of us.

It's the right thing for me to leave... And since Kate is no longer needed, she's been thinking of moving out with me."

"Are you sure? You guys are going to need to cook your own food again," Wuli pointed out.

Both of them hesitated for a second but nodded in agreement in the end.

"But how could we watch movies together?" Nami pleaded, having gotten used to Anna's taste in movies.

"I can still come and visit when I'm off work," Anna replied, her face looking determined in the decision.

"Well, then there's no changing in your guy's mind... When are you two planning to leave?

I'm not rushing you guys or anything. I just want to throw a farewell party since you guys have lived here for so long." Leyan curiously asked.

"Monday morning. I already had set up a day off that day." Anna replied, turning over to Kate.

"I don't have any work unless Yueyue or Xiaoyun assigned me something... I'll probably move out on the same day as well."

As the backyard fell into silence, the only sound in the entire area was the sound of leaves crackling from the wind.

But suddenly, Yuqi got up from her seat and pushed Kate back down onto the beach chair before doing the same with Anna.

"Xiaoyun, it's time. You either marry them now, or they both disappear forever."

Hearing Yuqi's threatening words, everyone was confused at the situation unfolding before them.

"Yuqi, did you have too much to drink? What are you doing?" Kate asked as she tried to get up but was pushed back down again.

"I'm not drunk. Xiaoyun, these two are the only women who know your ability without being married to you.

And now they wanted to leave... I can't afford that risk... Luoping can't afford that risk."

"Qiqi... I think you are having too many drinks——"

Before Xiaoyun could finish talking, Yuqi lunged over to Kate's handbag on the side, taking a pistol out.

"Woah there! Yuqi, calm down. There's no need to draw a gun out."

Leyan tried to walk closer to take her gun away, but Yuqi took a step back further.

"I really mean it. Xiaoyun, ask yourself. If some other man marries them and they overhear it one day.

What do you think is going to happen? You think they're going to prioritize you over their husband——"

Just as Yuqi was about to finish talking, her gun suddenly disappeared from her hand.

"I understand your point, Yuqi. But you shouldn't drink and hold a gun."

Xiaoyun puts the gun back into Kate's bag, zipping it back up as he throws it over to the table.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief as the situation was now de-escalated. But Yuqi wasn't done yet.
