After Lily left upstairs, the five of them went upstairs as well before standing right before the hallway bathroom.
"Let's just shower in my bathroom. We can wash each other's hair that way." Leyan suggested.
The three girls thought for a second, then nodded in agreement as they followed Leyan into her room.
Inside the bathroom, Xiaoyun and Leyan both instantly took off their clothes before noticing the three of them standing still with their clothes on.
"What's wrong?" Leyan curiously asked, noticing their faces blushing red for some reason.
"Nothing."
Both Yuqi and Yueyue quickly took off their clothes and put them into the basket, catching up with them while Nami hesitated for a second.
But after a long internal battle, Nami eventually took off her clothes as well before running to the shower area to catch up with everyone.
"Hm... Let me try something. I never really used this before."
The four of them watched as Xiaoyun pressed a button on the wall, instantly causing multiple showerheads to swing open from the tiles.
"Yeah. We usually just use the bathtub showerhead." Leyan murmured as the two of them both started having flashbacks.
As everyone began rinsing themselves first with their showerhead, the foul, bloody smell lingered as the stain refused to wash off their hair.
"Qiqi, let me scrub your hair. You scrub my hair later."
Seeing Leyan start washing Yuqi's hair, Yueyue did the same with Nami, which left Xiaoyun to wash his hair alone.
Fortunately, his hair wasn't very long. He was already finished when they just finished applying shampoo to each other's hair.
"I'll wait for you guys in the bathtub."
"Okay."
After closing the shower door, Xiaoyun headed over to the bathtub, turning on the hot water before relaxing inside.
---
When the girls finally finished washing each other's hair, Xiaoyun was already peacefully asleep in the bathtub.
"Is Xiaoyun asleep? Should we still go inside it?" Nami asked quietly, her face blushing red as Xiaoyun's cock was fully visible.
"I had been waiting all day for this. Of course we're going inside. It's not just him that needs a nice hot water break."
As Yuqi stepped into the bathtub, the water level instantly woke him up from his short nap.
"Come on, let's just all go in. It's big enough for the five of us anyway."
Leyan pushed Yueyue and Nami to join in before getting in herself, causing the water to flow out rapidly.
But she quickly turned it back, filling the water all the way to the brim before turning it off again.
"Why did you guys buy such a big bathtub? It never came with the house, did it?" Yuqi curiously asked.
"Yeah, it didn't. We only bought it after... Um, Xiaoyun, do you remember when we brought it?" Leyan curiously asked.
"Let me think... Oh, right, we bought this bathtub when you were pregnant with twins. You couldn't fit in the old bathtub, so I ordered a custom-made one."
"Right! I remember I even said when they grow up, all four of us could shower together... I mean all five of us."
Leyan excitedly pointed out before changing her wording at the last second, realizing she had completely left out Nami by accident.
"A shame that Mr.Songming can't be with us, but at least Nami is here to make it five." Xiaoyun joked as memories started flooding into his mind.
"Hey, that's not funny. I'd rather have you and all five of us together than Songming..." Leyan argued with a serious tone.
"You sure? You don't want our secret time together? Having all three of them sent away to your in-laws and——"
"Shut up, Xiaoyun, don't tell them that. Ahem, I-I would never want that over our three daughters."
Leyan blushed as she quickly covered Xiaoyun's mouth, but it was far too late as both of her older daughters looked a little angry.
"What secret time?" Nami curiously questioned.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it——"
"A time where we'll have sex for the entire week all to ourselves during our anniversary——"
Before Xiaoyun could finish, Leyan covered his mouth once again. Not letting this time until he nodded several times in apology.
"Mom! Was that really why you sent us to our grandparents' house? Not because they wanted to see us?"
Yuqi questioned in anger, while the other two didn't really seem to have memories of it happening in the past.
"What? That's not true. Xiaoyun is just making things up. I sent you guys over because your grandparents want to see their grandkid."
"Yeah, yeah. I was just joking. Come on, guys." Xiaoyun quickly added after Leyan suddenly squeezed his elbow.
Despite the clarification, all three of them held up suspicions towards the two, as if they had betrayed them or something.
The room soon fell into silence as everyone was starting to get a little too tired to argue. All five of them were leaning back against the bathtub in relaxation.
"What's wrong, honey? You want to say something?" Leyan curiously asked, noticing Xiaoyun's lips hesitating.
"It's nothing... Okay, I'm just thinking about something," Xiaoyun admits after all five of them started staring towards him.
"Come on, there is no secret between us," Yuqi pressured.
"Well, I am just thinking... If you guys are all pregnant, I shouldn't let you guys take risks to fight outside like this."
"What? Our belly is not even visible yet." Yueyue instantly argued back as she started rubbing her flat belly.
"Xiaoyun, it's still nowhere near even a single trimester. Trust me, I'm a nurse. I know my stuff."
Leyan's reassurance only made Xiaoyun feel even more guilty. His inner male chauvinism just felt it was just plain wrong.
"But I feel like I'm not doing my responsibility as a husband... I should be taking care of these fights and not force you guys to fight——"
"Hey. Who said you have the right to tell us to stay inside? We are doing this because we want to." Yuqi argued.
"Yeah. We're doing this for the town. It's pretty sexist to say that women shouldn't be on the battlefield." Nami added.
After a short silence, Xiaoyun finally nodded in their favor.
"You are right. I shouldn't have even said that. Sorry about what I said earlier." Xiaoyun apologized.
"Ahem, let's just relax and enjoy ourselves... No need to overthink something that is already over."
As Leyan leaned over to Xiaoyun's shoulder and whispered it into his ear, her right hand reached down below the water.
Xiaoyun couldn't help but let out a small groan as he closed his eyes, feeling a surge of pleasure after a warm hand started stroking his cock up and down.
"Ahem, Mom... Nami is still here." Yuqi reminded, with Yueyue wanting to warn them but being too shy to speak up.
Within seconds, the two quickly separated, but the damage had been done as Nami's face was blushing red in embarrassment.
"Um, I'll go back to my room now."
Nami instantly got out of the water fully naked, not giving any time for Leyan or Xiaoyun to say anything.
The moment the sound of the door being closed traveled to the bathtub, all three of them suddenly lunged towards him and pinned him to the bathtub.
"Honey, you still haven't given us your taxes for the day yet." Leyan seductively whispered as she sat on top of his lap.
"No! Nami, come back!" Xiaoyun yelled out loud, but it was far too late.
---
When Xiaoyun woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
He could feel his hip hurting as if he had run an ultramarathon last night. But as he thought back to the girl's smile, he didn't regret it a single bit.
"They probably heard it all... I need to soundproof the room." Xiaoyun thought to himself as he brushed his teeth.
After changing into his casual clothes, Xiaoyun exited to the hallway. Only Nami and Lily were in the living room as he looked down from above.
Their faces immediately started blushing as soon as they saw him walking down the stairs to the living room.
"Good morning." Xiaoyun waved awkwardly.
"Good morning."
Nami and Lily nervously replied, their eyes turning back to the TV playing some sort of anime connected to Nami's computer.
"Za warudo!" The TV sound played as Xiaoyun headed over to the kitchen.
The moment he sat down, he noticed a bowl of noodles lay on the table, with a sticky note that said, 'for Xiaoyun.'
"They really already went to work that early?" Xiaoyun murmured as he started eating the noodles.
After he finished eating, he waved goodbye to the two in the living room before heading out to work.
---
"Anything new?" Xiaoyun asked as he entered the security room.
"Nope, everything back to normal now... Also, everyone seems to be much closer to each other." Yezi commented.
"That's brotherhood and unity. It's formed through battles and being able to trust your back on a stranger."
Yiming murmured as he sat next to Yezi, this time without his usual two assistants following him around the town.
"Where's Gantian and Jixi?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"Gantian and Jixi? They are teaching the construction crew how to build traps outside the walls." Yiming replied.
"Oh, nice... How are our weapons and ammo looking?" Xiaoyun asked, grabbing a chair to sit down on the other side of Yezi.
"We had completely run out of ammo. Not a single gun in the town currently has any ammo whatsoever.
The rifle you gave to Gantian and Jixi is also empty, and the rifle they brought with them never had any ammo since we left the city.
Even my pistol is empty. The only ones still with ammo are Yezi's rifle and pistols for the three people who went with him."
Yiming paused for a second, then continued.
"Can you guys replenish these?"
As Yiming put his pistol on the table, he quickly grabbed the two other rifles from the side, which looked completely different from Yezi's usual M16.
"Which guns are these? What ammo do they use?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"That pistol is a QSZ-92. The one we're using in the town is Type 77." Yezi explained before Yiming could.
"And for that rifle, it's the standard QBZ-95, which uses 5.8×42mm as opposed to using 5.56×45mm."
"I'll replenish these guns' ammo. But I'm afraid I can't make you guys' ammo... You guys can use our guns instead."
Hearing Xiaoyun's reply, Yiming nodded in agreement. He was already expecting this answer from him.
But a question remained in his head. One that had existed ever since he had arrived in this tonw.
"Co-mayor Yezi, can I ask how you smuggled three M16s into the country? I know you're a smuggler and all, but how did you pull that off?"
"It's top secret. All you need to know is I have some connection in the Middle East in the past," Yezi answered.
Yiming turned over to Xiaoyun, looking at him as if he was hoping that he was going to give him an answer instead.
"Yezi, I'm going to tell him the truth." Xiaoyun suddenly announced.
"What? Are you sure?"
Yezi questioned, his face looking a little distrustful towards Yiming as he felt it was way too soon for Xiaoyun to reveal it to him.
"I'm sure. He had proven that he can be trusted... Here, Yiming, look at my hand for a second."
As Yiming stared towards Xiaoyun's empty hand with a confused face, it soon turned into a shock as a light appeared out of thin air.
By the time the light had disappeared, a brand new Type 77 pistol was in Xiaoyun's hand, the same replica of the empty gun on the table.
"What the fuck... Sorry, excuse me, but did you just create this?" Yiming asked, his mind still recovering from the shock.
"Yep, here's a bottle of water."
Xiaoyun instantly created a bottle of water before throwing it into Yiming's hand, signaling to open it.
With a small sip, it tasted just like normal water. No difference from any other bottled water he had ever drunk.
"This all makes sense now... No wonder a civilian town would be able to have so many guns and supplies."
Yiming finally connected all the dots in his head, which could all be explained by a simple duplication magic that no one would ever think of.
"Xiaoyun, can you clone this pistol?" Yiming asked, handing his QSZ-92 over to Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun tried his best as he thought of the gun inside his head. But only after a sharp pain does the replica of the gun appear in his hand.
"Here... The more I use this ability on the same object, the easier it is for me, so this hurts my head a little since I never made it."
As Xiaoyun explained his ability, something suddenly popped up in his mind as he watched Yiming take apart the gun he just created.
"Wait, Yiming, can you take apart Yezi's M16 and this Type 77? Just put them on the table here." Xiaoyun requested.
"Sure."
Yiming instantly took them apart within seconds despite never having opened one, laying the different pieces on the table.
Next, Xiaoyun started picking up one of the small pieces in his hand.
Within seconds, he was able to clone it without causing any headaches. So he quickly picked up another piece and cloned it as well.
After cloning every single part, enough to reassemble both the rifle and pistol, Xiaoyun's head was still completely fine with no headache.
"Fuck! Why didn't I realize this sooner? All I needed was to clone it piece by piece instead of all at once!"
As Xiaoyun facepalmed himself in front of the two, they knew Xiaoyun had just made a massive breakthrough.
"Better late than never." Yezi comforted, realizing the breakthrough Xiaoyun had just made with his ability.
"You're right... Anyway, you guys don't have to worry about weapons anymore. I'll go home and clone more of them.
Xiaoyun quickly created an empty cardboard box, putting the disassembled pieces inside before leaving the room.
"He looked really happy," Yiming commented.
"Yeah... You would be happy too if you had seen him having constant headaches trying to clone more guns in the past," Yezi murmured.
---
Two weeks have quickly passed since the zombie attack.
Xiaoyun was able to mass-produce both the M16 and Type 77 by simply creating one part at a time.
Getting used to creating smaller parts one at a time and then assembling them manually was much easier.
Especially after he started giving those small pieces to the training field as part of the mandatory training to reassemble them back into one.
The eight militia members were able to have rifles, and everyone in town was able to get a pistol when gun training started.
But ammo was still limited, which still hindered how many shots each person could do.
Although Yezi and Yiming were both extremely happy to have more guns, they got into an intense debate regarding gun ownership.
Specifically, it's about whether everyone should be allowed to carry a gun on their own or store it in the storage room when the time calls for it.
But after listening to both sides of the argument, Xiaoyun eventually sided with Yezi.
The guns were kept inside the training field's storage room rather than Yiming's idea of carrying them personally.
Still, Xiaoyun made some exceptions.
The only ones allowed to carry a gun were people on duty patrolling the wall or going outside to scout.
Of course, this doesn't include Yiming and his two assistants, nor does it include Xiaoyun and Yezi, who had a special license.
But just as the second week was about to pass peacefully, Yiming's prediction about the smoke attracting's attention of the attraction came true.
