Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"Think of it more like bioelectrical signals with their electromyography and electroencephalogram causing the wire to overload."

Tianci's explanation only confused Xiaoyun even more, but he didn't ask again as they stopped near the cell's hallway entrance.

"Ahem, c-can you hand me a new pair of clothes? I can't walk out of the room like this." Tianci nervously asked.

"Sure... Do you want me to hand you a towel——"

"No need. Just wait here for a minute. I-I'll be right back."

After handing the newly made clothes over to Tianci, she quickly ran out of the hallway, going through a different hallway as Xiaoyun stood waiting.

"Why did Tianci hesitate for a second there?" Xiaoyun wondered as he began thinking back to what happened earlier.

"Maybe she just wanted a cleaner way to kill the mutant? Or did she want to keep it alive and keep studying it?"

With two possible answers to his question, his mind quickly developed back to what Tianci had said earlier.

"What the hell is Electromyography and electroencephalogram?"

"Hey, I'm back."

As Xiaoyun snapped out of his thoughts, Tianci was already standing right before him, waving her hand in his face.

The brain splatters were gone from her skin, replaced by the fresh pair of clothes he had handed over earlier.

He could smell a faint air freshener smell lingering in her fully soaked hair. It wasn't pleasant, but it was better than the rotting smell earlier.

"Yeah, I'm here... Ahem, you ready to leave?" Xiaoyun asked as his mind still looked a little preoccupied.

"Not yet. I still need to go back to collect all the samples... Actually, can you be my lab assistant? It's only going to take a minute or two."

"Sure."

Thirty minutes later...

"Okay. Now we're done."

As Tianci closed up the freezer, the two of them could finally take off their gloves and throw them right into the trash can.

"Geez, that room is so cold."

Xiaoyun complained, his mind still a little shocked by the amount of corpses he had seen just a few minutes ago.

"It's not that cold. You're just oversensitive."

After walking through the twists and turns, the two of them finally arrive at the exit of the lab.

"We're finally out," Tianci murmured as her alternative voice appeared for a second before vanishing.

"Yeah."

Looking at the horizon, they could both see the moon rising in the sky. More importantly, they could see the security guard still standing by the door.

"Stop right there. A-Are you two human?" The security guard nervously asked, aiming his gun right at their heads as

"Of course. Who else do we look like? Ghost? Zombies? Or Mutants?"

Xiaoyun's sudden chuckle instantly made the security guard even more nervous as he put his finger on the trigger.

"Thank you, Xiaoli. You can go back to your guard duty." Tianci murmured as she elbowed Xiaoyun right on the side.

"S-Sorry, ma'am. I didn't recognize you." The security guard shyly apologized as he scratched his hair.

"No problem. Don't worry about it... I'm going to head back home now."

After walking away from the pawn shop, Tianci finally looked over to Xiaoyun with an annoyed look.

"Don't joke around like that. Xiaoli was so nervous because of you. That could have ended badly for no reason."

"I know, I know... I just thought it would be a little funny."

As Xiaoyun and Tianci walked towards their car, the moon brightly illuminated the roads ahead of them.

They could see several people walking down in the distance, crossing the street in a hurry as if they were scared of the night.

"Hey Kate, did you have a look at yourself?" Xiaoyun suddenly asked.

"No... What about it?"

Turning his head around, Xiaoyun couldn't hold in his smile as Tianci's wet hair was literally made out of snow.

Or, more specifically, a bunch of ice that had frozen up. On top of her already white hair, that made it look even closer to a ghost.

"Is it really that bad——Ah!"

As soon as she took out her phone and turned on a selfie, she almost dropped it onto the floor as she couldn't believe the person in the camera.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Tianci angrily protested as she punched Xiaoyun right in the chest.

"I thought you didn't really care about looks... Okay, okay, My bad, my bad."

Xiaoyun quickly shifted his tone after noticing her face looking more and more irritated, with a hint of redness appearing on her iris.

"Hmph. You dummy."

When the car finally parked inside the garage, the two of them could instantly smell the tasty food from the kitchen.

Both of the feet started speeding up, walking straight through the living room as both of their stomachs started growling in anger.

"Welcome back! Was the lab all okay?" Leyan asked as she handed the two of them a bowl of rice.

"It's fine," Tianci replied as she picked up the chopstick from the table, getting ready to eat as she sat back down.

"Where is everyone?" Xiaoyun curiously asked, noticing no one was in the kitchen despite all the food on the table.

"They are in the backyard right now... Can you go call them?"

"Okay."

After putting down his bowl of rice on the table, Xiaoyun speed-walked through the hallway.

With the glass door slid open, he was a little surprised to see all of his wives, including the kids, sitting on a bunch of sand in the backyard.

"What are you all doing there?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he stepped out into the backyard.

"Just playing with the kids!" Yuqi's voice replied as her attention seemed to focus on the sandbox itself.

Walking closer, Xiaoyun could finally see a half-built sand castle almost the same height as the babies themselves.

"Tianci back from the lab?" Kate curiously asked as she turned around alongside Anna.

"Yeah.... Leyan told me to call you all to head back inside. Dinner is ready."

"Okay. Come on, let's go."

As Kate and Anna both got out of the sandbox, Xiaoyun could feel all of the babies wanted to stay.

Still, the baby's mother forcefully carried them into their arms, heading back inside the house with the rest of them.

The next day...

As Xiaoyun woke up from the bed, a slightly visible dark circle could be seen around his eyes.

Letting out a small yawn, he stretched out both of his arms as he felt much more exhausted than usual.

"Hm... Stop it."

Leyan murmured as she rested her body on top of his chest, with a small bit of drool coming from the corner of her mouth.

"Sorry."

After apologizing, Xiaoyun gently pushed Leyan back onto the bed, allowing him to get up from the bed slowly.

"Crap... How do I get off the bed?"

All around Xiaoyun was his wife sleeping peacefully on the bed, leaving him practically zero room for him to walk around.

"Whatever. I'll just sleep for a little longer."

Leaning down, Xiaoyun closed his eyes and tried to fall back asleep. However, he was met with a sudden warm embrace around his legs.

Nami and Yuqi were both grabbing it like a body pillow, with their hands and legs fully wrapped.

"Can I just not sleep in peace?" Xiaoyun thought to himself as he remained still, not wanting to wake them up so early in the morning.

Unable to fall back asleep, his mind began to think back to what happened last night——specifically, right after dinner.

It was one of the most memorizing things he had ever experienced. The dream that he never knew he had.

"Stop it, babe..."

Hearing Kate's voice, Xiaoyun's mind was snapped back to reality as he looked over to his right.

He could see her half-naked body, with only what appeared to be some sort of black and white fabric remaining around her waist.

More importantly, there were stains all over her body. Her eyes were still closed, indicating she was having some sort of dream.

A dream that made her face look a little frightened. Yet, Xiaoyun couldn't help but smile as more thoughts popped up in his mind.

"I'm never going to get to do this again, aren't I?" Xiaoyun thought to himself as he looked over to his left.

Wuli and Shuli were both hugging each other, their faces having small frowns in unison as if they were having some sort of nightmare together.

"Maybe I went a little overboard... I probably shouldn't do that again."

With guilt beginning to develop inside his heart, he felt bad for the action he had taken last night.

Still, he didn't regret a single bit as he closed his eyes once again, trying to fall back asleep as looking at his wives was starting to turn him on again.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep, someone's phone by the nightstand suddenly shook a little.

"Hm?"
