Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Surprise News
After sitting for who knows how long, Xiaoyun finally came up with an answer as Yueyue waited patiently.
"I think we have two ways to do this... We either brute force it by sending in the army to the island unannounced, or we try to find boats nearby to make a beach landing across from here to the island."
Hearing Xiaoyun's idea, Yueyue shook her head at both of the ideas.
"I already thought of using boats, but all of the boats at different harbors are all damaged... Unless you're talking about an entire cruise ship, which I doubt is going to work.
And for the other ideas, I think it's way too risky to send the army there. They could blow up the bridge at any time to cut off the entrances.
Not to mention, they probably have a bunker that they could just lock themselves into... I just feel that it is just too obvious for them not to prepare for that."
Despite Yueyue's logical explanation, Xiaoyun rejects it as he has a different approach to his idea.
"Yueyue, you remember you said they need trucks to gather supplies for the island, right?"
Seeing Yueyue nodding, Xiaoyun continued.
"That means they can't seal themselves off by blowing up the bridge or hiding in a bunker. They will be trapped on the island with no supplies."
Yueyue quickly realized what he was trying to imply. It was a simple strategy to limit their influence on the outside world to irrelevance.
However, she still had one last concern with Xiaoyun's plan.
"But... Aren't you already planning all your troops to clear Foshan?"
Xiaoyun froze for a second but quickly came up with the decision.
"I can delay that. It's just too good of an opportunity to give up. I needed to remove them as a threat first before trying to expand.
It's just too big of a thorn on our back with their capability... Being able to make mutants and who knows what they could come up next."
Seeing Xiaoyun's determination to remove the secret society as a threat, Yueyue didn't try to persuade him further.
"Okay. Then you can arrange all that. I'm going back to work now. See you later tonight!"
With Yueyue leaving the room, Xiaoyun started thinking back to his decision as he sat alone in the room.
"Why do I have a bad feeling? I'm probably just too tired. I need to get a good night's sleep today and get ready for this..."

A week has passed since Xiaoyun's talk with Yueyue and Renqin.
It was now the last week of January. Everything was going calmly, as Xiaoyun spent most of his time at home with Nami and Xuanhua.
More importantly, Zhen Ren finally returns from Shaoguan to fulfill Xiaoyun's plan, as he is the main distraction in a feint attack on Foshan.
With the disguise, everyone in the town knew about the upcoming February assault on Foshan, as most soldiers already knew the codename for Operation Northward.
But just as Xiaoyun was about to put his plan into action at the end of January, he was hit with a surprise when he came back home the day before.

"Honey... something is happening tomorrow, right?" Leyan asked as everyone was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Yeah, tomorrow is the day to bring the fight to Foshan," Xiaoyun replied with a straight face.
"How long are you going to be gone for?"
As soon as Leyan asked the question, all the girls raised their ears to listen in for Xiaoyun's answer.
"Probably about a week or so to make sure everything goes right, then I probably assign Lingang or Zhen Ren to the station at Foshan to clear it fully."
"I see... Honey, can I tell you something?"
"What is it?"
"Tianci... You want me to tell him, or do you want to tell him?"
Tianci's face started blushing as everyone's attention turned towards her, her hand moving all over the place as she was too nervous.
"I-I... I'm pregnant." Tianci whispered.
The living room fell into silence for a second before bursting into cheer as all of Xiaoyun's wives let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally! I was wondering how it's taking you two so long when you guys have been doing it every day since he came back." Nami commented as she held Xuanhua in her arms.
"We can finally use him again!" Yuqi excitedly said out loud as the six of them had been purposely giving Xiaoyun's time all to Tianci.
"Ahem, I'm not some object, okay?" Xiaoyun cleared his throat as he felt a little dispected by Yuqi.
"My bad, my bad. I just haven't done it for so long. I can't wait for tonight!"
"Yuqi, it's only the morning... There are still other people here."
Shuli reminded her as she noticed both Kate and Anna looked a little uncomfortable sitting in the living room.
"Ah! Shit! I-I'm sorry!"
Yuqi immediately pulled the pillow on the sofa to cover her face to hide her embarrassment.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh as the atmosphere in the room became much more at ease.
"Oh boy... Now, we're going to have six kids running around at home, aren't we?"
Wuli murmured as she rubbed her hand around her belly, which was now almost fully forming a big bulge.
She and Shuli were now in the third trimester, with three more months to go before going into labor.
"Yeah... All thanks to this dummy knocking all of us up." Leyan murmured as she rolled her eyes at Xiaoyun.
"Hey, you guys were the ones that wanted to be pregnant. I was fine with you guys not having kids." Xiaoyun pointed out as he tried to deflect the blame.
"Yeah, sure. That is totally not the case because someone keeps forgetting to wear protection and bribe us by somehow changing our bodies to have one kid only."
Xiaoyun awkwardly scratched his head as he didn't have any way to argue back at all, looking a little down as he felt a little guilty.
"I didn't know why it caused you guys to have one kid either. I..."
"We're just joking, honey, don't take it too seriously. We only wanted one kid anyway." Yueyue stated.
"Yeah, and it's so much nicer not needing to deal with periods and not needing to deal with menopause," Leyan added.
"And no protection, too! It feels much better doing it raw!" Nami chimed in.
"Having a kid is not as bad as I thought, either..." Yuqi murmured as she looked towards her kid, who was playing with the other two on the side.
Seeing all four of the girls nodding in agreement, Xiaoyun looked much more cheered up as the guilt disappeared.
But just as Wuli was about to join in, Shuli held her back as she felt something was off about Xiaoyun's rapid shift in emotions.
"Ha! Do you guys really think really think I'm actually upset over that? I know you guys are joking."
Xiaoyun smirked as they fell right into his trap. All he wanted to do was to see them confess about enjoying it as much as he did in the bedroom.
"Hmph!"
All four of them shifted their attention back to the TV as Wuli and Shuli couldn't help but smile.
"You guys forgot there were other people here again..."
Tianci facepalmed as she noticed Kate and Anna looking a little uncomfortable again.
But at the same time, she noticed Lily seemed to enjoy watching the six of them joke with each other.
"Ahem, let's focus on the TV. No more fooling around."
Xiaoyun ended the conversation after he noticed two looking a little uncomfortable, and the other six quickly agreed after noticing it as well.
A few hours later...
The afternoon quickly flew by as everyone got too into the TV show Nami had put on to the point that they forgot to eat lunch.
By the time they finished watching, it was already six o'clock.
After finishing eating dinner and relaxing in the living room for a bit, Kate and Anna, along with Lily, headed back into their room.
The six of them immediately turned towards Xiaoyun, their eyes looking directly at him as if they were looking at prey alone in the woods.
"I can take care of the babies today——"
"Come on, Tianci, you're coming with us today. It's not every day that everyone wants to do it.
The babies are going to fall asleep by themselves anyway. You don't want to be left out, right?"
Tianci wanted to say no, but seeing Yuqi refusing to let go of her hand, she accepted the demand.
"Fuck... This is going to be such a tiring day..." Xiaoyun murmured to himself.
But all he could do was watch as the four girls were already starting to breastfeed the baby early on purpose to speed things up.
"Let's all take a shower first... I don't want to do this dirty," Wuli suggested.
