Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"What do you mean by treating other Tianci as you?" Xiaoyun asked in confusion.

"Like... if we got married and did the thingy... I want her to experience it firsthand, too... I know she has stronger urges than me... Can you let her do it?"

Xiaoyun froze for a second as his brain couldn\'t process what Tianci had just said to him.

"Huh? That\'s all?" Xiaoyun asked in surprise.

"What do you mean that\'s all? It took me a lot of courage to ask this, okay? I even let you two spend more time together every day and do more... intimate things together."

Tianci\'s face was blushing red as she thought back to all the days she was gone.

She was practically watching the other Tianci using her mouth to get her breakfast from Xiaoyun, as well as the things that the other Tianci had done to Xiaoyun every night to relieve herself.

"If this is all you are asking, I can give you the answer... I\'ll treat the other Tianci as if it was you."

After hearing Xiaoyun\'s answer, Tianci looked much happier.

"Then I\'m going to try something right now, okay?"

Xiaoyun suddenly had a bad feeling as Tianci looked over to the side for a second, then turned back around.

"How about now?" Tianci asked.

"What..."

Xiaoyun was dumbfounded as the Tianci in front of him had two eye colors, with the red iris on the left and the normal brown iris on the right.

"You idiot. I never ask to marry him."

The other Tianci\'s voice came out as she complained out loud.

"Too bad. We both are marrying him now."

The normal Tianci\'s voice came out this time as she argued back.

"What is this?" Xiaoyun asked in confusion.

"Your um... thingy that we drank for over a week somehow allowed us to use the same body at the same time..."

"So both Tianci is here right now?" Xiaoyun asked as he was a little intrigued by this.

"Yeah."

Tianci\'s voice somehow merged as if both of them replied at the same time.

"Well, this is unexpected... I never knew my stuff could do that..."

Xiaoyun awkwardly scratched his head as he thought his stuff only had a healing and strengthening effect.

"I\'m going back to sleep." The other Tianci\'s voice came out.

The other iris returned to normal as if the other Tianci had really gone to sleep.

"She can\'t sleep unless we both sleep at the same time. So what I experience right now, she would feel the same thing."

Tianci\'s normal voice returned as she clarified the confusion.

"Hey, you two! Want a sandwich?" Yuqi asked as she waved toward the two.

"Sure! Just save two sandwiches for us!"

Xiaoyun held Tianci\'s hand as they moved back to the main group in the middle.

When they finally came back from the park, it was already five o\'clock.

"That was so fun! We should do it again on Sunday." Yuqi excitedly asked as everyone sat down on the sofa.

"It probably won\'t be as fun when it\'s open to the public." Shuli reminded her.

"Ahem, you two take care of the babies now. I\'ll go cook dinner."

Leyan handed Qiaolan and Lianrong back, along with handing Yongyi to Shuli as she went to the kitchen.

"You two looked sorted out now?"

Nami curiously asked as she noticed Tianci and Xiaoyun had been standing next to each other the whole time since they had been walking back.

"Yeah. We talked it out... and we are going to marry next month." Xiaoyun replied as Tianci nodded in agreement.

"Well, congrats! If Mom is still here, she\'s going to start bringing out the wedding dress for you already."

Yuqi commented as she put Lianrong onto the floor to play with toys.

"So when are you going to explain the... um, how do I put this... Your other Tianci?"

Yueyue asked curiously as she let Qiaolan down next to Lianrong.

Before Tianci could talk, Xiaoyun spoke up first.

"The other Tianci is Tianci. There\'s no difference between them... We already talked it out with each other." Xiaoyun stated.

"What are you guys talking about?" Anna asked in confusion.

"I know you guys have a lot of misunderstanding with Tianci... but let me explain the whole thing again. I already told this to Leyan..."

Xiaoyun began telling every single part between him and Tianci, along with Tianci\'s experience and the changes in her body, in much more detail than the last vague answer that he gave to them.

"So, she\'s going to be my wife, just like the normal Tianci you guys are seeing." Xiaoyun clarified.

"But the other Tianci... She killed people in the past. I can forgive the normal Tianci who wasn\'t doing this, but the other Tianci... I can\'t." Yueyue argued.

Seeing the pushback, Tianci suddenly got a little discouraged, but Xiaoyun quickly argued back.

"It\'s just what she had to do to survive. She was forced to drink their blood, and they never supplied her with enough. And they\'re the ones who forced the experiment onto Tianci\'s body.

Besides, it\'s in the past... The other Tianci has changed. You guys never seen her kill people in the street or drink blood, do you?" Xiaoyun asked.

"Totally not because a certain individual got her addicted to his cum..." Wuli murmured.

"Ahem, that\'s beside the point. Tianci, in the past, didn\'t define her in the present."

"Fine, fine, you\'re right... Everyone should deserve a second chance."

With Yueyue backing down, nobody else opposed Tianci\'s marriage.

"So you guys are planning a public wedding or what?" Shuli asked curiously, as she had been playing with Yongyi the whole time.

"I didn\'t think of that... Tianci, what do you want?" Xiaoyun asked as he looked over.

"I-I just want a private wedding with you guys... I don\'t want people to know it."Tianci hesitated for a second as she replied.

"Why not? If you think someone might blame you for the soldier\'s death, that\'s like the least of your concerns when we\'re all related to him...

This guy over here already racked up enough controversy for it to barely make a difference, not to mention everyone in the town would forgive you, considering how everyone is seeing him as a hero right now."

Hearing Yuqi\'s answer, Tianci still shook her head.

"I don\'t like having a big crowd."

"Ahem, we can just have a few friends and people. Let\'s decide later with Leyan, okay?"

Xiaoyun ended the conversation as he turned on the TV with the remote.

"Nami, let\'s watch a movie before we eat," Xiaoyun asked as he shifted the topic.

"Sure. I was just about to do that."

Nami quickly grabbed her computer and connected it to the TV, and she began looking for movies to watch.

The next day...

The funeral official began as the soldiers who died at the battle were put into the graveyard.

This time, it was participated by everyone in the town as they watched Xiaoyun read their name one by one to be honored as heroes.

A total of over ten thousand people died in a single month, most of the casualties being soldiers who died at the outer wall, with a fraction of them being soldiers who went missing during the defense plan outside the town.

But as the town mourned the loss of their loved one, good news arrived in the town as a week went by.

Some of the soldiers who were lost during the defense plan managed to make it back rather than Xiaoyun and Yezi\'s initial assumption of their deaths during the chaotic retreat.

The number was eventually shifted to eight thousand losses, and the town quickly got out of its mourning as time buried the sadness away.

Although the mourning ended, not a single person in the town ever proposed looking inward and isolating themselves from the outside world.

The seed of revenge was sowed among everyone in the town as everyone finally realized that defending was never going to work against the zombies, and the only solution was to go on the offense.

Every press was advocating for a direct offense against the zombies, almost as if the casualty that the town had suffered was just a number to them.

Xiaoyun was much more rational as he didn\'t send out an attack like most people want. Rather, he promised an attack on the city at a later date.

The biggest reason behind the shift from attack to defense was the outer wall being completely damaged.

Xiaoyun still had to rebuild an outer wall before even attempting to attack. This time, the outer wall was equipped with more escape routes for a retreat to avoid the same disaster.

The new trading zone over the ashes at the original trading zone between the outer and inner walls was also planned to be rebuilt as traders finally resumed leaving and coming into the town.

Soon, September came to an end as the gasoline spill was finally cleaned up, and the outer wall official began construction.
