Humanity & Revenge

"A word to the wise, don't move if you don't have a death wish. You have no idea what Che is capable of."

Having seen this, Zhou Zeyu and the squad came over, as well as Jiang Shang who'd kept an indifferent attitude towards it the whole time. Xing Feng didn't even need to say anything, the entire Chaoyang Squad voluntarily stood up. And of course, the Loser Squad. If it wasn't for Yun Che, they would have been dead. Jiang Yuan and Yun Che's old dorm mates never liked Hang Mingzhe, they, too, joined the crowd despite the fact that they thought killing him was a bit excessive.

Hua Uni people took several more steps back when they saw those superfunction possessors assembling. The future didn't matter right now, the most important thing at the moment was to keep themselves alive. They'd learned this basic survival principle after living in the doomsday for a mouth.

"It looks like you're on your own."

Having taken a glance at Hua Uni people, Yun Che loomed over Yang Biqin and Han Mingzhe, looking down at them. Yang Biqin ignored the great pain, hand in hand, she and Hang Mingzhe huddled together. They did seem terrified.

"No, Yun Che. Let's talk it out. I'll make her bow and apologize to you. Please don't kill us."

Han Mingzhe pushed Yang Biqin away. He crawled to Yun Che's feet, acting like a pathetic coward instead of a refined professor.

"Han Mingzhe, you…"

Yang Biqin, who got pushed away pointed at Han Mingzhe in rage. Her contorted face was written with hatred. However, at the moment, all Hang Mingzhe thought about was to stay alive, he didn't care if she hated him. Yun Che looked straight at them with cold eyes. Xing Feng stepped forward to hold his hand. "Don't get your hands dirty for this. It's not worth it!"

Then, a pistol appeared in his hand. Yet Yunche held his hand before he fired at them. Xing Feng reflexively frowned. Yun Che gave him a "hold on" look. He turned around and threw the blade in front of Han Mingzhe. "Kill her, then I'll spare your life. What's more, I'll take you to Southwest Base."

But he didn't guarantee Han Mingzhe that he could get there safe and sound.

"You…"

"You're mad! There's nothing between us. Why do you do this to me?"

Han Mingzhe was wordless in shock whereas Yang Biqin raised her head behind him and started to yell. She seemed to have forgotten that she just insulted Yun Che a moment ago. Yun Che was strong. If he was a weak, feeble space superfunction possessor, she could have crushed him.

"Aren't you forgetful, you hag! Who insulted Che just a moment ago?"

She did have forgotten all of it but someone kindly reminded her.

"I…"

Yang Biqin stammered, "I-I said something wrong. If you feel offended, I can apo… Mmm… You…"

Before Yang Biqin finished talking, she felt the pain on her chest. She sluggishly looked down to see the tip of the blade was in her body. Blood incarnadined her clothes from the center of the wound. Her eyes moved from the hands which held the hilt to the face of the one who stabbed her, she saw Han Mingzhe keep his eyes dead shut. She opened up her eyes in disbelief. She'd never thought that Han Mingzhe would actually kill her.

"Sorry, Principal Yang, I just want to stay alive…"

Slish!

Aaaah!

As he looked Yang Biqian in her eyes, Han Mingzhe thrust the blade forward with resolution. With the sound of a sharp object piercing through the flesh, the rest of the blade impaled her heart. With a brief scream, Yang Biqin collapsed on the ground with eyes filled with a grudge.

The entire base floor of the mall was eerily quiet. Everybody, Hua Uni people and the squads, watched Yang Biqin fall before Han Mingzhe who was covered in blood. The ugliness of human nature was undisguisedly demonstrated. When Yun Che said he was going to kill both of them, Han Mingzhe begged hard but when he was given a choice, he chose to kill his lover unhesitatingly. It seemed like Yun Che made him do this but dig it deeper, it was the fundamental evil inside Han Mingzhe that urged him to commit the murder. Yang Biqin was still fighting for a chance to survive while he jabbed a blade right into her.

"Now you're happy? I've killed her as per your demand."

Han Mingzhe managed to get to his feet even though he was still wobbling, acting like he was driven into desperation. Yun Che scoffed, "Don't act like you're innocent, Han Mingzhe. If you were a good person, a man with conscience, you should have killed yourself instead of her seeing she'd kept you around her for so many years. You're responsible for the choice that you've made, not me. Are you still trying to frame me at this point?"

Very clever! Someone among these people would get to Southwest Base eventually. If Yang Biqin did have a cousin serving as a Major in Southwest Base Army, he wouldn't make Han Mingzhe's life easy after someone snitched on him. After all, her cousin was in the army, Han Mingzhe was just a civilian. Yun Che's plan was that Yang Biqin's cousin would kill Han Mingzhe for him.

"You…"

Surprised, Han Mingzhe clearly didn't expect Yun Che to see him through. But he regained his composure very soon, trying to avoid eye contact with Yun Che. "Frame whom? What are you talking about? You promised me you'd take to Southwest Base, don't you regret it."

There was nothing else he could do but deny. Even his smart brain that he was most proud of now seemed worthless to Yun Che, not to mention the fact that Yun Che'd become a powerful superfunction possessor.

"Ha, chill out. I'm a man of my word."

Yun Che's face suddenly lit up. He put the blade away. "He, get all the medicine out of your space. It's a mall, fill up your space as much as possible with the supplies here."

"Huh? That's great, Captain Yun!"

After a brief puzzlement, He Yongyi who got the order from Yun Che took all the medicine out. There were piles of Chinese herbs and non-Chinese pills. With a waving of hand, Yun Che made everything disappear.

"Let's go and find something that we may need."

Without looking at other guys, Yun Che and Xing Feng started walking towards those shops after nodding at each other. Loser Squad went straight to the supermarket on B1. They prioritized food over anything else.

There were five floors in total in the mall. The supermarket was on B1. Based on actual demand, Yun Che didn't choose to fight over food with Loser Squad. A variety of cosmetics and digital devices were sold on the first floor, Yun Che collected some laptops, cellphones, and tablets. With Xing Feng's help, they pillaged several high-end cosmetic shops. Xing Feng insisted that his love must be spruced up all the time.

This time, no-one dared to stop them. Hua Uni people had to watch them root around the place in a silent sulk.

The second floor sold jewelry. Gold, platinum, jade, you name it. They didn't need much of this. Yun Che and Xing Feng took some random small stuff. The third floor sold women's clothes, shoes, and all kinds of fancy bags and suitcases, they picked some and dumped them all into space. The fourth floor sold men's wear, which was what they needed a lot. They emptied all the famous brands shop by shop, from jackets to underwear. They even looted all the underpants shops. The top floor sold children's wear, sportswear, and camping gear. Again, they looted all the shops like hungry mice in a fridge. Why were they acting like this? Because they probably wouldn't go to a downtown mall again in the future, of course they must take everything they could with them.

After they rummaged the mall for an hour, they got downstairs. It was 5 o'clock sharp, 2 hours before night. They should be able to get to the base before dark. They could turn in the quest at Superfunction Association tomorrow. The most important thing was Yun Che had got all his power back.

"Jiang Yuan, go back to Southwest Base with us."

After a discussion, they decided to rush back immediately. Yun Che gave guys in the Loser Squad some clothes and ask Jiang Yuan to come with them. He didn't intend to get them on board, though. It was just they'd been roommates for two years and Jiang Yuan was kind of his only friend before the doomsday, so he wouldn't mind giving them a ride.

"OK."

Jiang Yuan and the guys, however, thought they'd officially teamed up, so of course, they wouldn't say no. Even if they knew Yun Che's plan, they wouldn't have it any other way. At the end of the day, they were merely roommates before the doomsday and because Yun Che was quiet and busy, they weren't even friends. It was already very kind of him to let them tag along.

"Let's go. You keep up, Professor Han. We don't have extra people to look after you."

After giving Han Mingzhe a scornful glance as he leaned in, Yun Che nodded at Xing Feng. Lu Haixuan stepped forth to melt the lock.

"Wait!"

Right before he rolled up the roller shutter, someone stopped him from behind, followed by the tumultuous sound of footsteps. Hua Uni people all gathered together. "Please, take us with you. We've got our own cars, we don't need your protection. Just let us follow you."

"Please, have mercy…"

"Please…"

They kept begging piteously. It was obvious that they were from Southwest Base. They knew if they could follow these powerful superfunction possessors, they wouldn't go the wrong way, they'd arrive at the base in no time.

"Although we feel sorry for you but for the sake of your safety, I suggest you head off to Southwest Base tomorrow morning."

Yun Che hated to be cold-blooded but there were dozens of them, so there'd be nearly 10 cars. His air membrane could only protect their own car. Without the protection of air membrane, even if they followed them, soon they'd be cut off by the zombies along the way. Every single one of them might be eaten by the zombies.

"How-How can you be so cold-blooded? We're begging you so desperately."

"Yeah, we don't need your protection. We'll just be following you. Come on!"

"You're not a human. You're a demon. You're worse than the zombies."

"Shit! What else do you want from us? Begging on our knees?"

This is what people do. When they think they're humble enough, they'd get mad when they think you're being condescending, they'd think you're the worst person on this planet. Yun Che only laughed it off when they reproached him. He didn't have time for this nonsense. He just winked at Lu Hiaxuan, implying him to carry on.

Rattle…

Roaaar…

As soon as the roller shutter was open, the zombies swarmed in. They'd been hungering for the smell of fresh meat outside for a long time. Everybody got into the combat stance. They fired superfunction at them, making a way for themselves to escape.

"Wait for me! Wait!"

Han Mingzhe yelled at the end of the team, barely keeping up the pace. Luckily, the zombies were all wiped out, or else, he would have been eaten alive.

"Don't conjure the metal corridor. Just keep going. I've got something personal to settle."

While leading the team, Yun Che took a look back at Han Mingzhe who was panting heavily. Once again, a touch of bloodthirst flashed in his eyes. Shen Rui and Lei Dashan had known what Yun Che was up to, they nodded at each other tacitly. They formed a straight line when pushing forward. Han Mingzhe could keep up at the beginning but later, he became exhausted. After all, he was just an ordinary guy, how could he have the same physical strength as these superfunction possessors?

"No… Help me, Yun Che! Aaaah! You promised me you'd take me to the base! Aaaaah!"

After several more minutes of running, Han Mingzhe stumbled. The zombie following him grabbed him on the shoulder and took a hard bite of him. Han Mingzhe cried for help in pain but the smell of fresh blood just attracted more zombies to pounce on him, ripping the pieces of meat off him with their dreadful tusks.

"Get the corridor ready, I'll be right back!"

Before everyone could react, Yun Che, covered with air membrane, turned around and watched Han Mingzhe being torn apart by the zombies with an impassive look on the fac. When Han Mingzhe stopped breathing, Yun Che squeezed into the zombie crowd and looked at the remains of him. "Han Mingzhe, you deserve it!" He said.

Then Yun Che got out of the zombie crowd. After a deep breath with eyes closed, he re-joined the fight. His sworn enemy was down, next, it would be the entire Zhou Family!
