"Fine. But you all better not tell Xiaoyun that I told you guys all this..."

A long explanation later...

As all of the girls finished showering and had already dried their hair, Kate had finally finished explaining.

"That sounds so unrealistic. How is that even possible?"

Wuli murmured as she couldn''t imagine that a larger mutated animal could block missiles and even bigger bombs.

"I don''t know either. But that''s what they described it to be."

With all of the girls still looking a little shocked, both Kate and Anna quickly dressed back up.

"Well, good night to you all. We''re going back to our guest room now."

As the two headed out of the bathroom, the girls changed into their pajamas as well before stopping at Leyan''s bedroom.

"Lily, you are not sleepy yet?" Leyan asked as she noticed her still sitting on the bed next to them.

"Um, goodnight, everyone."

Lily quickly left the room, leaving only Xiaoyun''s wives in the bedroom as they looked at each other.

"Mom, what should we do to help him?" Nami curiously asked.

"I''m not sure..."

As the room fell into silence, with no one having any ideas, Yuqi decided to speak up.

"I think we should just do nothing for now. It''s not like something that happened in Europe is going to affect us."

"Yuqi is right... Also, he doesn''t seem to worry about it at all either." Yueyue added.

"Then let''s just do nothing and pretend we didn''t hear what we heard earlier." Leyan decided.

"Why did we even bother asking then?" Shuli murmured, regretting in pressuring Kate to tell them the truth.

"Too late now."

As Nami got up from the bed, everyone else got up from the bed as well.

After Wuli and Shuli returned to their bedrooms, the four of them went downstairs to get their babies.

After showering and breastfeeding again, they finally all went back to their rooms to sleep for the night.

Meanwhile, in the office room.

Xiaoyun was sitting alone, looking down at the initial plan he had created for the upcoming recruits.

It was a simple yet effective list of exercises that his other armies all went through in the past.

But he knew he had to modify it slightly, as many of those newcomers in Guangzhou never had mandatory training for all citizens.

Even in Luoping, mandatory training has rarely been enforced since he cleared Guangzhou.

After sitting there for ten minutes, he scrapped all the modifications and left it the way it was originally.

Next, he began to examine the plan he had set up for those troops to be used.

Once again, it was just a rough setup, with the plan to have two more army corp.

One would be heading north to clear Qingyuan, freeing Lingang to start spearheading down the highway to Shaoguan.

It was a major chokepoint that prevented Jiangxi Province and Hunan Province from heading south.

When he arrived, the mayor was already working on a recruitment campaign featuring Xiaoyun''s face.

"Mayor Leifeng, how is it going?" Xiaoyun asked as he took a seat across from him.

"Oh, it''s going fine, Mr.Mayor... Um, commander, can I suggest something?"

Seeing Leifeng hesitating and even calling him commander, Xiaoyun got a little curious.

"Sure, go for it. Is there something I need to help with?"

"Can I call you governor instead? It just doesn''t feel right for you to call me mayor when you are higher than me."

Xiaoyun thought for a second, thinking back to the phone call he had a few nights ago.

"You know, you aren''t the first one who suggested that to me. Does it make you all feel better if I proclaim myself as the governor?"

Seeing Leifeng nodding like crazy, Xiaoyun began to realize how serious it was.

"It''s just a title. Why does it matter so much——"

"Mr.Xiaoyun, you don''t understand. Everyone needs someone to look up to.

The military has you as the commander-in-chief, but we in the civilian branch only have the mayor as the highest.

We aren''t asking you to call yourself the Secretariat or President. We are just asking for at least a governor as the head."

Xiaoyun thought for a second as he considered all the drawbacks and benefits that came with the title claim.

In the end, he nodded in agreement.

"You''re right... I guess there is no point in stalling it when nobody can stop us at this point.

I''ll start planning it tomorrow. If you really want, you can just call me Xiaoyun instead."

"Thank you, Mr.Xiaoyun."

Seeing Leifeng still refusing to call him directly, Xiaoyun dragged the topic back to the original question.

"Ahem, Leifeng, how many people have you recruited so far?"

"The last report was an hour ago, and they recruited 10,000 people already signed up."

"That''s good..."

"Mr.Xiaoyun, how many are you planning to recruit?"

"About 200,000——"

"200,000? Are you sure?" Leifeng interrupted, as he couldn''t believe Xiaoyun''s number.

"Yes, 200,000. I''m not planning to recruit them all at once, so just let them sign up until people stop on their own."

As Xiaoyun finished replying, Leifeng suddenly stood up and bowed down in gratitude.

"Thank you, sir! You truly are the most generous boss I ever had."

"Generous for what?" Xiaoyun asked in confusion.

"Giving them hope... I had worked with many of those people down there, and I had heard of countless people being forced into slave labor.

But you, the governor, are the only ones who are actually trying to re-establish society so that everyone can live in peace.

You are the only boss I ever had who''s willing to avoid being a layman who directs an expert and actually uses young students like me."

With Leifeng pulling out an idiom and on the verge of crying, Xiaoyun went over to support him back up.

"I don''t think that''s really a thing a person should be complimented. But I''m happy you think that way."
