Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

As Xiaoyun tried to get a grip to tear the latex apart, there was no room to even start. The latex almost felt like it had been hot-glued to Houqin's skin.

"Give me a second..."

After pinching at the latex for a whole minute, he finally got a small pinch with his finger. But once again it wasn't big enough for him to use his full strength.

"Fuck it, let me just cut it."

A thought suddenly popped up into Xiaoyun's head. Finding it to be the perfect time, he decided to try it out.

A pair of scissors didn't appear in his hand. Rather, a very small, sharp metal edge appeared right on his fingertip.

Slowly, he placed the sharp edge down onto the latex, dragging it down along the small pitch of latex next to the zipper.

"Don't move."

All three of them could hear the zizizi sound as the sharp metal edge cut through the latex like butter.

Soon, the latex suit was cut in half from behind, revealing Houqin's back.

"Xiaoyun..."

"I-I'm fine. Ahem, just give me a second."

There was rotten flesh all over her back, with a heavy, foul smell that almost made Xiaoyun pass out.

It finally became clear to him why they put the latex suit on her. Not just to restrain her, but to contain everything within her own body.

"Okay. I'm going to start it."

As Xiaoyun slowly put her hand onto her flesh, a bright light instantly engulfed them, rendering them impossible to look at.

It was so bright that Tianci had to take cover behind a log cabin, as her eyes still felt a burning sensation even with her hands covering them.

What followed was a bunch of mysterious gas floating up into the air, with the towel and soil below them melting into a liquid-like state.

"What is Xiaoyun doing in there exactly?"

Tianci forced herself to look towards it, only to see a layer of white light. Like a literal white wall covering the two of them from being seen.

Even as her pupils turned red, there was nothing to see. Only white light that made her feel a burning tingle every second she looked.

"Let me walk closer," Tianci muttered as her voice grew much deeper, with her pupils constantly swinging in color back and forth.

"No! That sounds like an awful idea. We are not going!"

After a short struggle, the red pupil vanished, leaving normal Tianci back in control as the white light still remained in place.

---

"Fuck! T-This is a lot harder than I had imagined."

When the light disappeared, Xiaoyun was panting heavily for breath. His head was spinning like crazy, and his mind felt even more tired than earlier.

Meanwhile, his body didn't feel tired. It was only his brain that was fatigued.

Thinking the most basic thing, like the answer to 1+1, felt exhausting. It was almost as if his brain was turning off on its own.

"Xiaoyun! You okay?" Tianci worryingly asked as she quickly ran up to the two of them lying on the packed dirt.

"I'm fine. Is Houqin fine?"

"She looks fine... Houqin? Houqin!"

After Tianci started waving her hand for a bit, Houqin finally snapped back to reality as she quickly nodded her head.

"S-Sorry, I'm fine."

"Did I fix everything?"

As Xiaoyun asked his questions, his eyes were already fully closed. His head rested directly onto the hard object beneath him.

"You definitely fixed her all right."

Tianci answered as she walked around Houqin for a bit. A fully naked body that looked as human as any other person.

"That's good, that's good... Let me just rest here for a bit."

Neither of them spoke up, patiently waiting for him before Tianci noticed Houqin staring at her body the whole time.

She quickly realized what Houqin wanted as she took off her shirt, handing it over as Houqin looked back with gratitude.

With a whole minute passing by, Xiaoyun soon opened his eyes once again. His head still felt tired, no longer dizzy.

"Hm? What are you two looking at me for?" Xiaoyun asked, noticing the two of them staring at him in silence.

"Nothing."

Houqin quickly answered, her face mysteriously looking a little red as she glanced down before looking over to the side.

"Xiaoyun, your body..." Tianci shyly murmured as she pointed down towards his crotch before looking away.

"My body?"

Looking down, all of his clothes were gone. His body was fully exposed to the elements as a cold breeze sent a chill down his spine.

The latex suit that was cut aside earlier had also melted away into a flimsy solid chunk mixed with the picnic towel they were sitting on.

"Weird. Why didn't this happen earlier when I did Houqin's face? Why did our clothes melt like this?"

Xiaoyun muttered as he looked around for something to cover, only to find the melted clothes to be a single solid chunk.

"You want to test it out? I can try to measure this in a lab—"

"Maybe another time... Ahem, Tianci, can you give me your pants? I really don't want to use my ability right now."

Tianci thought about it for a second before taking off her pants, leaving her with only a pair of bra and panties to cover herself with.

"L-Let's get back in the car."

Houqin shyly murmured as she tried to pull the shirt Tianci handed down more to cover her legs.

---

"Welcome back——Oh my. What are you all wearing Tianci's clothes?"

As Leyan opened the garage door, she was a little stunned to see both Xiaoyun and Houqin wearing Tianci's clothes.

"Our clothes got burnt. Where is everyone?" Xiaoyun asked as the three of them entered the living room.

"In the backyard with the kids... Honey, you want me to go bring you some clothes?"

"No need. Here's your clothes back."

Xiaoyun quickly took off the pants, handing them over to Tianci before heading upstairs by himself, fully naked.

The three of them looked back and forth between each other for a second before Leyan broke the silence.

"Houqin, take a seat. Let me go get you some clothes for you."

"Thank you."

With Leyan heading upstairs, it left only Houqin and Tianci on the sofa. Both of them sat there in silence until Houqin got the courage to speak up.

"Tianci, I just want to say thank you."

"No problem."

The awkward atmosphere grew as neither of them knew how to start a conversation until Leyan came down with a pair of clothes.

"Sorry, Houqin, I don't know what size clothes you wear, so I just brought you some of my clothes."

"That's fine. Thank you."

As Houqin handed Tianci's shirt over and started putting on the clothes Leyan brought, Xiaoyun came down the stairs in a fully dressed suit.

"Where are you going?" Leyan curiously asked as he headed straight towards the shoe rack to put his shoes back on.

"Going to practice for my Sunday press meeting tomorrow. I'm going to come back home later tonight for dinner."

Before Leyan could say something back, Xiaoyun had already entered the garage and closed the door.

"This dummy... Sorry about that, Houqin." Leyan murmured, her eyes filled with pity as she looked over.

"It's okay. He's a busy man."

As Houqin answered back, Leyan could notice a hint of hesitation on her face, almost as if there was something bothering her.

"Tianci, is Houqin's body fully healed now?" Leyan curiously asked as she slowly examined Houqin's hand.

"It looks to be normal, but I'll need to do some testing in the lab... Houqin, do you want to go do the testing now?"

"Sure."

"Wait, before you go, I need to tell you something."

"Hm?"

Leyan quickly leaned in and whispered something into Houqin's ear, causing her to blush before releasing her.

"This is your chance, okay? I already convinced all of them. You better not blow this opportunity if you love him."

Houqin nodded her head, leaving Tianci all confused as she couldn't hear any of their private conversation.

"What are you all talking about?"

"I'll tell you later when you come home."

Tianci didn't think too much about it as she quickly got up from the sofa, heading over to the door with Houqin following right after.

"See you two later!"

As Leyan closed the door, she let out a small sigh of relief. She sat down and leaned fully onto the sofa before closing her eyes.

"Just one more day..."

"What one more day?"

A familiar voice suddenly appeared from behind out of nowhere. Opening her eyes, it was Wuli standing behind the sofa with Ziling in her arms.

"Don't scare me like that."

"So, what's one more day?" Wuli questioned again, not letting Leyan get away without answering.

"One more day before the weekend ends. That's all... Why are you back inside the house?" Leyan questioned back.

"Shuli said it's too sunny for Ziling, so I brought her back inside."
