Registering a Squad (1)—Full of Hatred (1)

The six major areas of the Southwest Base were Area A,B,C,D,E and F. Occupants of Area A were mainly scientific researchers, senior technical personnel, low-ranking and middle-ranking military officers as well as their families. The institute was also located in area A. And area B was for sergeants, soldiers and their families. Dwellers of Area C were the psionics recruited by the army, as well as their relatives, and people who had made significant contributions to the base, for example, donating a large amount of supplies. Competent squads were also eligible to live in Area C, and the office of the Psionic Association was also Area C.

Most of the occupants of Area D were with squads, and there were also a few psionics who did not like being restricted. People could live in Area E as long as they turned the required materials in when they entered the base. As for Area F, needless to say, must be the poorest. It was an area where people had no supplies or magic power, which made it the most disordered area of the base. Terrible things such as fighting, robbery and rape would happen here almost every day. As long as nobody ended up dead, trivial matters would just slide. People who were weak and incapable were bullied and could only submit to humiliation after being bullied.

Area C was undoubtedly the liveliest area among all, and the open of the trading market had made it even more crowded. At noon, Yun Yao cooked the sweet-and-sour fish, for she couldn't withstand the endless harassment of Chu Haoyi. The other dish was the spicy-and-crispy fish. In addition, there were nine dishes and one soup, namely braised prawns, MaPo tofu, scrambled eggs with shrimps, vermicelli with spicy minced pork, double-cooked pork slices with hot peppers, stir-fried green vegetables, cucumber salad, and omelet lettuce soup, which were eaten up by them, and made everyone who hadn't had access to fresh vegetables for a long time satisfied. After a lunch break, Yun Che went to Area C with Little Chen, Zhou Zeyu and Lu Haixuan also went with them. They were thrilled when they heard they were going to register their own squad.

"The number of squad members as well as their attributes will also be noticed down in the registration process. Haixuan's should be gold-related, and mine is thunder-related for the time being. Others can just fill in according to the facts."

Area C was not far from the Rising Sun Community, but it was not close as well. Before leaving, Yun Che borrowed a car from Xing Feng.

"I know, we were so naive that we got tricked last time, and we won't fall for that ever again. Rest assured, I know what to do. By the way, what should we name our squad? I went to kill zombies these days and have contacted a lot of squads, so I've heard of various names. One squad that impressed me the most was the "Moo-cow Squad". Words failed me when I tried to make a comment on this name. Who on earth would name their squad after a cow?"

Zhou Zeyu kept chattering as he drove, and it wasn't hard to tell that he was still excited, maybe because he was imagining that someday their squad could reach the scale of the Rising Sun Squad.

"That doesn't strike me as odd, I have also heard of a 'Squad of Losers', whose name doesn't serve their fighting capacity right. Their captain is a tall and ruthless man. His fire-related magic power is comparable to Ye Han's, and I have to say that he is also quite heroic."

Lu Haixuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat leaned in. It was not difficult to tell that he was optimistic about the Squad of Losers from his tone. Yun Che, who wrapped his arms around Little Chen behind, smiled gently: "The name is not that important, it's all up to you. Just don't make it too special or thrilling. The last thing I need is a heart attack."

He trusted Lu Haixuan, and the last piece of advice was meant for Zhou Zeyu. This guy could be unreliable sometimes when he went wild.

"You can trust me with everything! The name of our squad must be the coolest one."

"Uh…"

That is exactly what they were worried about!

Not only Yun Che, but even Lu Haixuan couldn't help but twitch his lips. They felt that Zhou was becoming more and more unreliable.

"Well…Don't go that far…"

After a while, Yun Che managed to resist the urge to complain. A low profile. He was just trying to keep a low profile! As the saying goes, "The peg that stands out is pounded down."

"No problem, just leave it to me."

Zhou Zeyu freed one hand to pat his chest with confidence. Seeing this, Yun Che's heart skipped a beat, so he took a few deep breaths before reaching out and patting Lu Haixuan in front him: "Well, Hai Xuan, I think you are gonna have to work a bit harder."

"Would you like to go to the Psionic Association with us?"

Lu Haixuan also wanted to cry, but he failed to shed tears, for he knew that he might not be able to stop Zhou Zeyu from going too far on the way of losing his mind.

"Okay, we can visit the Psionic Association by the way."

On a second thought, Yun Che decided to go with them. He really didn't want to go out with a crazy squad name in the future. In contrast, the Moo-cow Squad that Zhou Zeyu complain about seemed much better. At least, it was easy to remember.

"You think I am unreliable, don't you?"

Finally sensing something wrong, Zhou Zeyu turned to look at Lu Haixuan, who secretly wanted to praise his cleverness, and had a thumb up inwardly. Yun Che in the backseat rolled his eyes silently: "Congratulations! Your IQ is finally back on."

"Hey, stop making fun of me! I…"

"We've arrived at Area C."

Being despised so obviously, Zhou Zeyu could hardly bear it, but Yun Che did not give him a chance to defend for himself. Yun Che looked at the stone stele outside through the open window, on which the massive characters "Area C" was red and dazzling. As a matter of principle, except for the villa area, people from different areas could walk around freely, so their black car entered Area C unimpededly.

At this time, there was almost no one there, but as the liveliest area, the traffic was still quite heavy, so the car's speed was also very slow.

"Hey, uncle, look! There are so many people here."

Little Chen had already been attracted by the lively scene outside, his two plump hands tightly pressed against the car window, and his cheeks were almost glued to the glass as well. Knowing that he was too excited because he had not seen that many people for too long, Yun Che didn't stop him. Yun leaned over, rubbed his little head and looked outside: "Does Chen Chen fancy places with a lot of people?"

The child had really suffered a lot, which he shouldn't have been put through. Yun Che didn't know whether it was because he failed to protect Chen Chen well in the previous life, he always felt that he owed this little boy.

"Sure!"

Little Chen nodded happily, narrowing his eyes while laughing.

"I'll take you out whenever I have time."

The happier he was, the more distressed Yun Che was. Before they could finish talking, the car stopped and they arrived at the Psionic Association. Yun Che looked up at the façade, which was similar to the telecommunication service hall before the eschaton, and opened the door to let Chen Chen get out by himself. Zhou Zeyu parked the car on the open space on the opposite side. The appearances of them attracted many people's attention. It was not because they were incomparably handsome, but their clothes were brand new and clean, unlike most of the others, who were exhausted with a drawn and haggard face. In particular, they had a little boy by their side. Everyone knew how difficult it was for children in the eschaton to survive, let alone live so well.

The gazes fixed on them were mixed with envy, jealousy, secret hatred, and some other sorts of emotions. Little Fatty Chen had not been the centre of attention for too long, so he felt a sense of unease, which made him hide behind Yun Che with his little arms around Yun's leg.

"Off we go."
