After Xingxing turned into a zombie, my life pretty much collapsed. If he didn't like me, I could live with that and try again to make me look better in his eyes. But since he was now gone... that couldn't really happen. And zombies couldn't be turned back into regular human beings. It was tried and failed. And there wasn't much research yet done on zombies with powers, but that would probably go the same way. A few days after we returned from the outing, Xingxing's family came to the door. Yu Ge was…-

When we got back, family members waiting by all greeted and hugged. The ones who were curious since they hadn't been out yet asked about what happened and what it was like after the apocalypse struck. I didn't encounter Xingxing's family. They hadn't bothered to come to pick him up. I would later have to inform them of their son's misfortunate incident. Everyone left fairly happy, but the team members all looked guilty and in discomfort. I dismissed them all with a look of, "It's ok, you can go." Shane…

"Xing Xing, don't scare me! What's going on?" I worriedly yelled. Xing Xing's face was pale and his eyes bulged out as he moved them fervently in panic and fear. He made choking noises as he uttered a few words. "I-I'm s-sorry. I-I'm sorry. I-I'm s-sorry." He kept on repeating. Again and again. "What are you sorry for? Explain! Yu Ge, what's happening to him?! Shouldn't he be safe if he took the zombie trial serum?!" My brother showed me a worried look and replied, "Well, it's supposed to. But did he…

The city was vacant as anyone with the right mindset would have moved to a safe city or base. And it had already been a month and a few weeks into the apocalypse, so unless a person stored enough food and water, they would be dead from starvation or dehydration. I briefed them on our mission. "Recently, there's been sightings of mutant weeds, nicknamed 'Weed-vines'. We'll be taking some as samples. They aren't weak and come out from underground in dark areas, so everyone needs to be careful. And as for…

Life on base has gotten easier but harder at the same time. Fewer complications, but more work for me. Yay. It's been several months and I'm glad to escape out into the hot and stuffy outside to lead groups to throttle the undead instead of staying in my office. To be honest, my secretary is busier than me. I really felt bad for him, so I gave him a raise. He seemed pretty happy about it and assured me that the work now was nothing compared to what he did as an agent and editor. Right now, I'm just…

On the day of the meeting, everyone arrived impeccably on time, if not, early. Yun said they probably didn't want to be here early or late because earliness would mean that they were desperate. But they would also not want to be late because that would be rude. Everyone gradually entered and seated in the huge meeting room that was right next to my office. The Yang family brought their patriarch and wife as well as their son, Little Blue. The patriarch, Yang Jin, was smiling, but I didn't know if he…

"My skill, is to see relationships." Silence fell. "Relationships?" "Yeah, like love, loyalty, hate, friendship, and some other colors that I can't really tell." "Colors?" Yun grinned, "I can see relationships from colored ribbons. Black is hate, Red is love, White is familial love, Blue is loyalty, Yellow is friendship. There are other colors, but I don't know what they are yet. The wider the ribbon is, the deeper the emotions are. For one way feelings, the ribbon can wrap around the person that the…

The wedding was beautiful. I cried a lot and Ge cried a lot too. From it, I think all our past misunderstandings and grudges disappeared completely. Having to hand off my Ge to another person, I was really angry and reluctant, but now, seeing him this happy and content, I really can't say anything. Is this what a parent feels like? Having to give their daughter away? Although people thought I was crying out of joy, of course, I was, but I was also filled with regret. I know that Ge would still be able…

Hello, this is Jing Song, Chief's secretary. I'm just recording daily bits of life to keep nice memories, but I guess I'm going to report it now. Um, so, right now, Chief is in a meeting with many other important representatives and politicians. As he is quite new to this governing process, there is still much to go for him. But I think he's doing a great job because compared to the world we lived in before, it's practically a utopia. I was able to come here with my family due to my wife being such a…
