"Do I look like I\'m making up a joke?" Xiaoyun asked as he put up a fully serious face.

"Thank you, sir!"

As Han Bang bowed down in gratitude, Xiaoyun decided to warn him about something.

"No problem... But I need to tell you, I haven\'t really set up what it means to be a colonel yet, so it\'s just an empty promotion for now.

But this promotion means all the majors in Guangzhou would be under your command. Can you handle leading this many troops?"

Han Bang nodded several times in repeat as he couldn\'t hold in his excitement.

"Great then... I\'ll send you another letter next week or so about the soldier\'s number and everything."

As Xiaoyun left the room, Han Bang excitedly jumped up into the air before calming back down.

"I\'m finally above Lingang!"

---

"Xiaoyun, why did you promote him? Shouldn\'t he be punished for failing to notice the corruption?"

Hearing Kate\'s question, Xiaoyun shook his head.

"I already said it\'s not his fault... It\'s an issue that I need to address myself when I get back.

And for the promotion... I need someone to take care of Guangzhou when I\'m not there, especially if I\'m planning to make it bigger than Luoping.

Since he\'s defending, I need a way to compensate him and not be left out when Lingang and the others are already assigned to Operation Northward."

Seeing Kate\'s face wanting to say something, Xiaoyun quickly decided to add something.

"There are no other people to choose from... I need Yezi in base if that\'s who you are thinking of suggesting."

"Okay..."

As the two headed back inside the civilian building, Xiaoyun took a turn and headed straight into the office area again.

Before Xiaoyun gets to the receptionist, he takes off his cover and hands it over to Kate.

"Hello, how can I help——M-Mr. Mayor?" The receptionist nervously asked as she instantly recognized his face.

"Can you bring me to the head administrator?"

The receptionist instantly nodded in agreement as she got up from her seat and led the two past the office block into a door.

"Mr. Lin, you there?" The receptionist asked.

"Yeah, I\'m here. Come in."

As the receptionist opened the door, Xiaoyun was surprised to see a man barely in his twenties sitting inside the room.

"You are?"

The man froze for a second before immediately getting up from his seat and saluting at Xiaoyun.

"Good morning, Mr.Mayor——"

"No need for the formality. I just want to talk to you for a second in private. Is that okay?"

"Of course, sir."

The man quickly signaled for the receptionist to leave, but as the receptionist left, he noticed the person behind Xiaoyun showed no sign of leaving.

"She\'s my bodyguard. I trust her with my life."

Hearing Xiaoyun\'s words, the man quickly changed his mind about asking her to leave, shifting the attention back to the main topic.

"Mr. Mayor, what do you want to talk with me about?"

"I already told Han Bang all this, but I just want to tell you as well so you can be prepared. We\'re going to send five thousand people here per week——"

"Five thousand? That\'s way too much at once——"

"I\'ll send the necessary supply to support them. I just want you to set up this outpost after Luoping. Is that possible?"

"Um..."

The man stayed silent for a second as he appeared to consider all his options in the head. But he nodded in agreement in the end.

"It\'s a little hard to build things here since everything is already occupied with buildings... But if we just use the building as it is, it can definitely support as many people as you want.

To be honest, we don\'t need as much food as we asked for. If we get 5,000 people a day instead of a week, we can actually support them without needing any supplies from Luoping."

Hearing the head administrator\'s answer, Xiaoyun got a little confused.

"Why would sending more people increase food supplies?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"Because there are still tons of food in Guangzhou. It\'s just unexplored, and we desperately need more people to loot everything... If more people come at once, I can scale up the looting to an even higher level.

As for the living quarters, I was already planning to expand into several nearby apartments and hotel buildings as we attract more people from Luoping."

Xiaoyun thought for a second, then quickly accepted the request.

"I can send five thousand people a day if you can really do what you promise... But are you sure you can sustain this and have enough supplies to loot?"

"Of course, sir. This entire city used to support 15 million people before the outbreak. The amount of supplies is almost unlimited.

Even if all the other foods had gone bad, there are so many canned foods and some foods in deep freezers that can be recovered."

"Great then. Starting next week, I\'ll send people over here for you... Oh, I almost forgot, what\'s your name?"

"My name is Lin Leifeng, sir."

"Very well, Leifeng... Can I ask how did you get this position?"

"Mrs. Xiaoqi assigned me to this post when she couldn\'t find anyone to come here."

"Oh... Well, it\'s a good thing she assigned you here. All I had seen walking around this outpost was someone doing an amazing job...

If you can keep it up, one day, you might even become the mayor of Guangzhou." Xiaoyun stated as he drew the invisible cake in front of Leifeng.

Leifeng immediately bowed down in gratitude, as he was only a head administrator who was still temporarily assigned.

"Thank you, sir! I\'ll do my best to serve the people."

As the two headed out of the civilian building, they kept walking down the street aimlessly.

"Where are we going?" Kate curiously asked.

"Just walking around for now... Have you not noticed something about the city?"

"Like what?"

"There\'s not a single zombie in sight... Even their body is all removed, and only a small blood outline remains.

They really had done a good job clearing the city in detail. A city that has millions of people."

"I guess..."

The two kept walking all the way until the sun was in the middle of the sky, and then the two headed back inside the civilian building again.

After a short lunch break, the two headed back outside again, this time in their car.

"It really does feel so empty. A little creepy even..." Kate murmured as she sat in the driver\'s seat.

"Yeah..."

As Kate continued to drive the car around the city, the two noticed a group of people standing behind a truck.

"Let\'s stop right next to them."

Kate hesitated for a second but stopped the car just as it was ten steps away from the truck.

"What you guys doing over here?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he rolled down the window.

"We\'re just gathering supplies... But our truck broke down right now." One of them explained.

"Broke down? Which part is broken?"

"Our driver is checking it right now... What are you guys doing here?" The man asked as they noticed the two inside a heavily armored car.

He could vaguely remember seeing it in a victory parade when the army in Luoping was coming back from a mission. But seeing the two not in a military uniform confused him.

"We\'re just checking out the city... Do you guys, by any chance, know any salvage group?"

"We\'re a salvage group... You want to join a salvage group?"

The man asked calmly, but his face told Xiaoyun that he would be extremely excited to hear a yes.

"Unfortunately, I can\'t do that. But I was wondering if you could bring me to one of your guy\'s bases.

I\'m actually a journalist who\'s looking for material to write about what it is like to live in Guangzhou."

The man turned around to talk to the other people for a second, then quickly turned back around.

"Of course. But can you put our name in the newspaper?"

With a nod from Xiaoyun, the men excitedly high-fived each other as if they had just made a national headline of some sort.

"Yo, Xiaopin, have you fixed the truck yet?" One of them asked loudly.

"Just give me a minute. I\'m trying to fix it."

The noise appeared from the front of the truck, exactly where the engine is located.

"I\'m not in a rush. You guys can take your time." Xiaoyun suggested.

"No, no, we can\'t have you wait for something so petty like this... Xiaopin, hurry up!" One of them yelled out loud again.

"Okay, okay, I fixed it."

A young man who looked straight out of high school walked out from the front as he met up with the rest of the salvage group with his toolbox.
