You’re Trying to Seduce Me

It had been nearly a month since the beginning of the doomsday. People in the city had almost left. Even the stupidest people knew they should collect some food or daily essentials before they left. Some big supermarkets, where Yun Che wanted to go, were apparently ransacked. It was more like a frantic raid than an organized resource collection. Well, that was understandable. According to the broadcast Yang Huaien heard, all security bases of the provincial capital were outside of the fifth ring. Even if some came to collect resources regularly, they couldn't make it to the third ring.

It was, however, conducive to Xing Feng and Yun Che, who were quite smart. They gave up the plan to pick out items from the messy supermarket. Instead, they rushed to the storehouse at the back of a supermarket at the same time. Normally, a big supermarket had a storehouse, available for the replenishment at any time. They made the right choice. Resources in the storehouse were in good condition. Only the frozen food had gone bad because of the power failure. Instead of choosing around, they raided the storehouse aimlessly. Soon, they took away all the resources from a few supermarkets.

Later, they rode to some furniture shops that Yu Che wanted to visit. They walked through the zombies as if in an empty place. The zombies were as docile as if Xing Feng and Yun Che had domesticated them. Instead of attacking them, the zombies even made way when Xing Feng, on the backseat, pushed them aside with a steel bar. It was so weird! If someone saw that, his jaw would drop!

In the doomsday, people could hardly live. Who would care for the living quality? No one was in the furniture shop, except for some wandering zombies. All the furniture was placed in perfect order. Yun Che, as a matter of fact, needed only a bed. But thinking of his sister, nephew and Yafei, he still waved and collected everything from the shop so that they could pick whatever they wanted.

More than one hour later, they returned to Zhan Yafei's home, safe and sound. The rest of the team were playing cards. On the table were some snacks that looked apparently like Chu Haoling's private collection.

"Boss, we've figured it out. The security base at Longyang Mountain was built by Longyang County government. It was one of the biggest bases in the provincial capital. No army has't been stationed there yet. Before the doomsday, Longyang County was known as one of the biggest fruit bases in China, abundant with honey peaches, loquats, and mandarins. The whole Longyang Mountain was covered with fruit trees. I read the map according to the location in the broadcast and knew that the security base was built on the mountain side. Down the mountain, the space is still wide. Up the mountain are all kinds of fruit all year round. In terms of diet, the condition in Longyang base is not bad," said Yang Huaien, who looked up from the broadcast and the map.

Xing Feng and Yun Che walked to him and sat down on the opposite side. They had a browse through the map and Yang Huaien's notes on the tea table. Xing Feng nodded and said, "Longyang Mountain is also within Longmen Ridge. Several army groups are in the southwest base. Even there are armies there, it can only be city defense that is far inferior to a regular army. But there are always policemen in a government, who are are enough for a modest base like that. Since it's built by the government, people won't be treated shabbily. There's more hope, I guess."

If Zhan Yafei's parents were still alive, nothing else would be a problem.

"Mm. Let's have dinner and go to bed earlier. We're leaving the city early tomorrow morning."

As Yun Che's voice faded away, he stood up and went to the balcony. When staying alone, he looked serious. He didn't realize it until Yang Huaien said Longyang Mountain used to be a fruit base. He couldn't remember the exact date, but in his previous life, he heard that a base in the southwest was attacked by mutated plants. The mass slaughter resulted in streams of zombies. At last, managers of that base escaped secretly. Less than one third of people were said to have run away from the base alive. In the end, those people went to the southwest base where Yun Che heard the story during his mission. If there were so many fruit trees on Longyang Mountain, they would be more likely to encounter mutated plants. Longyang base could possibly be the base he had heard of in his previous life. Yet, he couldn't tell anyone about it. He couldn't even warn them that mutated plants might harm people, because he didn't want to terrify Zhan Yafei. Her parents might be there, anyway. If Yun Yao or Yun Cheng were there, he would be scared and anxious as well.

"Worried about mutated plants?"

Xing Feng, nobody knew when he followed up, walked to Yun Che, and took away the cigarette in his mouth. Together, he leaned with his back against the rail, and stared at their friends who were having fun in the living room.

"Mm. But worrying doesn't help. Even if we rush there tonight, we won't be able to do much overnight. Besides, I don't think they can be so unlucky. Maybe I'm just having groundless fears."

Resting his elbow on the rail, Yun Che smiled indifferently.

"Well… Yafei is a good woman. A woman who survives the doomsday bravely like her deserves respect."

Looking at Zhan Yafei, who forced a smile to prevent her friends from being worried even though she still had swollen eyes, Xing Feng sighed inwardly. Maybe because he grew up in an army and had seen too many valiant female soldiers, he never discriminated against women. Instead, he sometimes found them rather strong. In terms of strength, women were born weaker than men. It was surely a proven fact. Yet, many women managed to get over their inherent disadvantages and became as strong as men, especially those women who dared to take up the weapon and fight against zombies in the doomsday. There were some in the detachments of Chaoyang. They were as good and brave as men in killing zombies. In his camp, Zhan Yafei was such a woman.

"You like her?"

Yun Che looked askance at Xing Feng with a sly grin flashing in his eyes. In his previous life, in fact, Zhan Yafei was the leader of the only all-female detachment that Xing Feng commanded. This was exactly why he agreed without asking anything when Zhan Yafei asked to join their team in the university. As a leader of Xing Feng's detachment, she was definitely wise enough.

Later after they got on with each other, they became friends. Yun Che no longer took her as a mere useful assistant. Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked their lives to come for her families.

"Hope you won't like her."

Knowing Yun Che was joking, Xing Feng replied indifferently. He only allowed Yun Che to have feelings for him.

"Uh, have I told you something? I think I'm not interested in girls."

Turning around at Xing Feng with a wild smile, Yun Che confessed his sexual orientation frankly. Xing Feng narrowed his eyes, and reached out to flick his forehead. "You should have told me earlier."

If he had known it earlier, there would have been fewer rivals in love.

"Sounds like you were worried that I would fall for Yafei or some other girl?"

Giving a soft stroke to his forehead, Yun Che kept joking. In the doomsday, killing time was also a miserable job. There were still two or three hours before nightfall.

"Do you know how I feel every time you stare at me like that?"

Having ignored his question, Xing Feng turned around and rested one arm on the rail. Yun Che frowned and asked, "How do you feel?"

"I think you're trying to seduce me!"

"Fuck…"

As the voice died away, Zhou Zeyu, who was sitting on the sofa, fell on the ground dramatically. BANG! The biscuit in Chu Haoling's mouth was dropped. Yang Huaien incautiously tore the notes he took the trouble to make. Shen Rui, who was drinking, choked badly. Yu Wenqing… All the other team members were shocked and speechless. They regretted it! If they had known it, they wouldn't have eavesdropped on their conversation. Even Yang Huaien couldn't help complaining. Their boss Xing feng was going too far! Yun Che behaved that way no matter who he was joking with. Could he possibly be flirting with everyone? Xing Feng was so imaginative! So damn imaginative!

"Their reaction explains everything. I'm even too ashamed to complain about you."

Yun Che laughed at those frantic guys in the living room. Compared to them, he had deeply realized that Xing Feng liked to talk frankly. Thus, he wasn't shocked.

"Mm… They've been too idle. After we return, I'll ask Mingxuan to assign them more difficult jobs, for example, collecting resources in Lingjiang City or coming more often to the provincial capital."

Xing Feng wasn't bothered by their complaint at all. He turned around and leaned against the rail, rubbing his jaw, and murmured in a low voice which was loud enough for everyone to hear him.

"Ah?"

How could he take revenge like that?

Chu Haoling and his partners wailed. Zhou Zeyu and his partners patted themselves on the chests and felt lucky. Fortunately, they didn't belong to Chaoyang team.

"Your team members have strong superfunctions but little practical experience. I suggest that you cooperate with us for a few more times."

"WHAT?"

The next second, Xing Feng turned around and suggested. Zhou Zeyu and his partners were dumbfounded. Seriously? How could he take revenge like that?

"Mm, you're right. They should accumulate more…"

"Uh, you know what, Che? Being impulsive always brings trouble. Don't be impulsive, alright?"

Seeing Yun Che taking that idea into account, Zhou Zeyu got up immediately, and rushed over to him. If they had to go to a city or a provincial capital, could they even live to their birthday next year?

"What do you mean by impulsive? You should experience more. Che, I think that's a very good suggestion. Why don't you think about it carefully? If there's cooperation, I'll be the first to sign up. You just need to offer the diets and I'll take care of the rest. Don't worry. I'll help you train them. Their fighting capacity will increase every day, I swear."

Seeing that, Chu Haoling rushed over, too. Since they all complained and laughed, he didn't want to be trained alone. Everyone else should suffer as well.

"Hey, hey, Chu… Where's your moral integrity? Give it some thought, please."

Come on, Chu Haoling wanted nothing other than the dishes Yun Yao cooked. Getting them involved was only mentioned in passing.

"What is moral integrity? Is it edible? If it isn't, why bother to ask? It's a deal then. Boss, just communicate with Che!"

Talking about the principal in front of such a gluttonous man was kind of humiliating this word itself. Chu Haoling illustrated it clearly. Zhou Zeyu gave up, rather unconvinced. Lu Haixuan, Leng Yehan and Zhan Yafei didn't argue. Their team was far inferior numerically. Besides, only Yun Che could make the final decision.

"Uh… with Chu Haoling and Zhou Zeyu around, we'll never feel the desolation and despair of the doomsday," said Yun Che from the bottom of his heart as he turned around at Xing Feng. In fact, to live such a lively life wasn't that bad.

"Mm."

Xing Feng reached out and held Yun Che's hand. They stared at Chu Haoling and Zhou Zeyu who were playing around. What Yun Che said made sense. Even in the doomsday, they could still live a happy life.
