"Xiaoyun, what did you do in the six hours?" Leyan asked.
"I went to Yiming to establish a police force by picked twenty people from the militia to work as police full ti, with their departnt being at one of the finished building at comrcial district." Xiaoyun explained.
"Are they under civilian or military?" Yuqi asked next.
"Civilian, so they are under your control. Although I'm planning to only have people join police only if they go through militia training first."
"I-I always wanted to be a police officer! C-can I join?" Yueyue excited asked.
"Yueyue, you can't do any physical jobs, you forget?" Leyan reminded her.
"Fine, I guess I will join after this." Yueyue rubbed her belly.
"Speaking of physical job, mom you sure your job isn't too risky?" Yuqi asked.
"Nah, its not risky at all. I don't actually need to take care of any patient. I just communicate between the doctor and nurses. It more of an managent role which I didn't expect either to be honest." Leyan explained.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Xiaoyun can you create so winter cloths for the store? So people doesn't have warm enough cloths and the comrcial district just can't et the demand yet." Nami brought up her custor's complains.
"Um, this might be a little difficult. I can't make cloths that fits everyone, and the sizes and style are very limited." Xiaoyun replied.
"Maybe we can supply the stores with more cloths and cotton. And give them no interest loan to expand first. We can use them as a governnt contractor as well to produce cloths for the soldiers too." Yuqi brought up her solution.
"That's a perfect plan. We just need to tell that to the comrcial departnt tomorrow." Xiaoyun complinted her.
"Okay okay enough business. Its a break day. Let focus eating now." Leyan ended the conversation as everyone went back to eating.

The next morning.
Just as Yuqi and Yueyue was sitting inside the office relaxing, soone knocked on the door.
Yueyue walked over to open it only to see Yezi standing outside.
"Where's Xiaoyun?" Yezi looked around.
"He's at the storage room right now." Yueyue replied back.
"Then Yuqi have to decide this, it's an ergency."
"What do you an ergency?"
"The zombies are finally moving out of the city and our rescue mission is in a complete halt now. The outskirt is completely overrun with full of zombies and we can't even send scouting mission as the mont we step inside the outskirt they chase us out." Yezi explained.
"Wait, then wouldn't the horde chase you back to here?" Yuqi asked.
"Nope, for so reason they are just staying in the outskirt. Almost as if soone is leading them." Yezi raised his concern with the zombies.
"Let call Xiaoyun and Yiming over." Yuqi took out her phone.
Before Yuqi opened her contact, she can see the phone had no signal.
"Hm? Yueyue does your phone have any signal?"
"Nope. Oh no... did everyone just lost signal?" Yueyue realized what might had happened.
Yezi took out his phone as well, only to see no signal either.
"Shit... communication is going to be much harder now." Yezi realized the impact this can cause.
"Well at least we still have walkie talkies... but they are only used by the militia and soldiers communicating with Yiming." Yueyue brought out her idea.
"Perhaps we can set up an civilian use channel." Yuqi suggested
"But everyone can hear you if they listen to your channel. Not to ntion the town's force all uses civilian grade walkie talkie, so both civilian and military listen to each other. That won't work." Yueyue warned Yuqi.
"I guess we have to manually have people get there to discuss... man we are slowly going back to the stone age." Yuqi complained.
"Yeah, not much we can do unless we go restore the cell tower. But we have no clue where it is located." Yezi comnted.
"Anyway Yezi, just take this as a break from rescue mission. Keep on watch if the zombies are going to leave the city outskirt." Yuqi gave her final verdict.
"Okay, I'll go set that up." Yezi turned around and left.
"Always more problem... if water is also cut off we are dood, aren't we Yueyue?" Yuqi sat back to her chairs.
"Not exactly, we can dig wells and build water tanks. Not to ntion there's a river that flow into the lake deep in the forest. But I'm not sure if it is freshwater river though."
"Hm..." Yuqi started tapping her pen on the table.

When Xiaoyun ca back to main office, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hey Yuqi, everyone's complaining about signal in the town is cut off." Xiaoyun walked inside Yuqi's office.
"Yeah, and there's nothing we can do. Also Yezi ca here earlier." Yuqi replied back.
"What did Yezi ca here for?"
"The zombies are moving out of the city to the city outskirt. So our rescue missions are in a complete halt.
Not to ntion apparently sothing is leading the zombies as they only stay in the outskirt and doesn't move out of it." Yuqi explained.
"You telling there is so sort of zombie leader?" Xiaoyun realized what Yuqi is trying to say.
"Yes, that's worst case scenario."
Xiaoyun pulled out a walkie talkie and called Yiming.
Ten minute later, Yiming was here.
"Yiming you heard about the zombies at the outskirt?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Yeah, I just heard it earlier from Yezi."
"What do you think we should do? Look like you already have a plan?" Xiaoyun noticed Yiming's confidence.
"We can't sit here and hope that they go away on their own. We need to strike first." Yiming paused for a second.
"We have ten cars and three buses, so we can perform hit and run repetitively to thin their number down. However this might trigger the entire zombie hordes co for us. So there is so risk." Yiming suggested his idea.
"Yuqi open the drawer and take out the map." Xiaoyun asked.
Yuqi pulled out an map from the drawer as he asked and laid it on the table.
"So you are suggesting we drive to the city outskirt here, then using our rifle to shoot any of them that chases us. Then since they don't chase too far, we can do this on repeat?" Xiaoyun pointed at the entrance to the city outskirt.
"Yes, that exactly what I'm planning to do." Yiming nodded.
"Yuqi how much people can be drafted into duty when the martial law is declared? And how much troops do we have?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Let see... The town has around seven hundred people now... but around five hundred people are fit enough to be required to defend the wall.
Two hundred of them were militia in the past or currently in the militia.
And we currently have one hundred full ti soldier." Yuqi finished explaining.
"Okay, so we can load convert the three buses to mobile firing station, each of them can fit most likely twenty five soldiers on each window. So that seventy-five soldier in the bus.
Now if we use the tens cars fitting four soldiers, that would be forty. So we can also load so of the militia as well to fill in the gap." Xiaoyun added details to Yiming's plan.
"Seem good to ... but you sure you can keep up with the bullet production? That is a lot of ammo going to be used." Yiming warned.
"You're right.... there's no way I can keep this up. Only if we got an artillery or sothing." Xiaoyun realized the ammo that is going to be required for this to be pulled off if it is only using rifles.
"We still don't have a arms industry... no one know how to make them and we don't have the equipnt to make them either." Yuqi added.
"How about if we use explosives? We can use the TNT we got and Xiaoyun could always make more of them." Yueyue suddenly chid in.
"And if we set up a row of TNT at this narrow entrance to the town, we can almost wipe an entire horde with it." Yueyue pointed at the road to the town.
"Oh my god you are a genius!" Xiaoyun excitingly hugged Yueyue.
"I should of never let you go out of the militia..." Yiming mumbled to himself.
"Well then we got a plan then, we just do both at the sa ti." Xiaoyun finally calm down.
"Yeah, now we just need to execute it." Yiming nodded in agreent.
"Do you guys think we should also make the wall taller and stronger?" Yuqi suddenly suggested.
"Yeah we probably should do that too." The three in the room nodded in agreent.
"Okay then I'm going to go set them up." Yiming turned around.
"Let go with you." Xiaoyun followed Yiming out of the office.
"Well look like we are back to work then." Yuqi and Yueyue both sighed.
