Additional Function of Air Superfunction (2)

"What function? You look obsessed. It must be something great."

What Yun Che said appealed to Xing Feng. Yun Che seemed to have nothing but fighting capacities. He didn't usually favor commonplaces. When he was too obsessive to have dinner, he must be looking at something incredible.

"Wait a minute. I'm going to test it first."

As Yun Che spoke, he gave his lunchbox to Xing Feng and walked out. The rest of the team stopped eating and stared. Yun Che sauntered round and round in the yard and then he climbed over the wall and got out. What he did puzzled them. A dozen minutes later, Yun Che climbed over the wall in, with new bloodstains on him. Obviously, he fought with some zombies when he was away.

"Well, I wonder where Che got his blade. Cool! Amazing for cutting fruits."

Staring at the blade in Yun Che's hand without any bloodstain on it, Chu Haoling gasped in heartfelt admiration. Oh, he joked as well.

Leng Yehan who stood by his side suddenly turned around and asked, "And you'll eat them?"

"Mm…"

Chu Haoling froze. He used to tease others. But this time, he was teased. He imagined Yun Che smashed a zombie and the next second he cut the fruit, that was disgusting. For the first time ever, he was inexpressibly scared of food.

"Oh…"

Seeing his reaction, the team couldn't help laughing, and they gave thumb-up to Leng Yehan secretly. Leng Yehan, however, looked indifferent. He turned away at Yun Che again.

"Confirmed?" asked Xing Feng raising his eyebrow and smiling.

"Yes."

Yun Che nodded. Putting away his blade, he walked to Xing Feng, sat down and took his dinner. The others, who could hardly wait, swarmed over.

"Che, what's the function? Tell us!"

"What a big smile you're wearing! It must be something great. Don't keep us guessing!"

"Yeah, why don't you tell us?"

They talked and asked, eager to know what new function Yun Che acquired. Yun Che laughed, and again he put down his chopsticks, starting to explain, "Simply speaking, I've got a panel like a monitoring map. It's an additional function of air superfunction, I guess. On the panel are some small dots of different colors. I just tested it. Red dots represent zombies while green dots represent men with superfunctions. I can't confirm the other colors until what they represent appear. Dots, big or small, represent creatures of different levels. Well, you know, it doesn't help with my fighting. But it can be very supportive. When keeping watch at night, I can see if zombies are approaching from the panel. Or I can check how many zombies, common humans or humans with superfunctions there are before we go somewhere and even what levels they have. It's quite practical. Pitifully, the detecting range is small. Two hundred meters around me, I think. I have to figure out the detailed distance with more experiments."

In his previous life, he knew nothing about air superfunction. Nor did he know anyone else who had it. He figured it out only because experts predicted some superfunctions mutated from all kinds of basic superfunctions. Just like Zhan Yafei's sand superfunction mutated from earth superfunction and Yu Wenqing's ice superfunction mutated from water superfunction. His air superfunction, as well, was mutated from wind superfunction. Anyway, there were rare mutated superfunctions, even fewer than light superfunction. That was why he was shocked when he first acquired his air superfunction.

"Mm… Che, do you know you're getting freakier?"

What Chu Haoling said made everyone else jealous. Such were great functions. But why did Yun Che have all of them alone? Chu Haoling was right. Yun Che was a super lucky star, without doubt! Or why could he have so much good luck and so many superfunctions together?

"I won't stop you if you want to be freaky, too. Go ahead. Leave me alone for my dinner."

Used to the complaint, Yun Che waved his hand calmly and went back on with his meal. The rest of the team heaved a sigh. They weren't lucky stars. What a pity!

"Seems like it'll be easier to do a mission with you. Shall I work for you so that you can protect me?"

Compared to others, Xing Feng looked calmer and he joked. Anyway, Yun Che was always a freak. Whatever freak things he had wouldn't surprise him. They were doomed to be a family, anyway. It didn't matter who owned such superfunctions.

"You don't like to expose your superfunctions?" asked Yun Che, enjoying his dinner at the same time.

He had been curious about that. He didn't ask before only because they were mere friends at the beginning. Even if he asked, Xing Feng wouldn't answer. Since the conversation was brought up, he asked casually.

"Yeah. It's tiring to be a hero, you know. Now, I just want to survive the doomsday with my buddies."

Holding back his smile, Xing Feng replied simply. Deep in his eyes, a faint trace of insufferable pain flicked and disappeared so fast that even Yun Che didn't notice.

"Oh, you do?"

Yun Che knew Xing Feng wasn't telling the truth. He didn't tell the complete reason, exactly. Yet he didn't ask more. Every man had his own secrets and didn't want anyone else to pry into it, however close they were. Yun Che had some. So did Xing Feng.

After dinner, Yun Che took out some spare sleeping bags. The team were exhausted after the whole days' fight and travel. They had thought they could only take a nap in a corner. "Hooray!" They cheered at such unexpected sleeping bags and flattered Yun Che before they went to sleep. Yun Che and Leng Yehan kept watch on the first half of the night, and Xing Feng stayed awake to keep him company.

"Why are you still awake?"

When Zhan Yafei got up, the three night-watchers stopped chatting away and looked up at her. Zhan Yafei walked to them and sat down beside Leng Yehan, cross-legged. She forced a smile and replied, "When I close my eyes, I think of my parents. I don't know if they're still alive."

With tears, she choked with sobs. She last saw her parents when the school began. Her father drove her all the way to school. It had been only two or three months, and everything had totally changed. If her parents were dead… She didn't dare to think about it, in case she would lose control.

"I can relate," said Yun Che, "I felt the same when I rushed to Huai City with Yun Yao and Chenchen. Things were worse at that time. On our way, Yun Yao had a high fever and was in coma for hours because she activated her superfunction. If Zeyue didn't help to take care of her, I didn't even know when I could arrive in Huai City."

Unfortunately, he was still too late!

Instead of asking where his younger brother was, Xing Feng put his arm around Yun Che's shoulder, with silent company. No one else said anything. Except Xing Feng, the rest of them thought of Yun Cheng who had turned into a zombie. Zhan Yafei didn't feel too bad, because she hadn't known Yun Cheng before. But Leng Yehan… Yun Cheng was the misery of his life that he could never get over.
