Keep Moving, Heiyu Got Wayward Again

Yun Che had the air panel on the whole night. Others weren't able to see this but black dots, small and big ones, were riddling the screen where some orange dots interspersed. It was certain that they were surrounded by zombies and zombie beasts. Making a way out tomorrow morning would be a tough task. However, in order for everybody to sleep tight tonight, Yun Che didn't reveal the harsh reality to anyone, until…

"Hell, how do we get out of here?"

Tomorrow morning, the earliest birds looked down through the windows and screeched, waking others up with a start. Many sprang up, rushed to the window, and was daunted by the scene down there. Damn, the streets were packed with zombies, all eyes could see were those obnoxious squirming heads. There were at least thousands of zombies and these were just the number they could see down there, there must be more around the building.

"Mmm… Noisy…"

Jiang Shang always needed extra 5 minutes to get sober. He rubbed his eyes, muttered, and fell back to sleep again. It almost melted Ye Xingchen's heart sleeping next to Jiang Shang. The loving smile on Ye's face dazed everyone. Xing Feng and Yun Che weren't affected though. Yun Che put the sleeping bag away, took out the table and their breakfast. Peak now had three women cooking for them, Yun Yao had prepared enough food for them to last five days, breakfast included.

"Mm, you guys got nice food."

Out of nowhere, Mo Wenyang seated himself down before the table and grabbed a steamed-bun to put into his mouth. The food was still warm because Yun Che's Space could preserve freshness and warmth. All things came out the way they were put into Space.

"Special treatment for our commander, eh?"

Yun Che sat down after washing the face and brushing the teeth. While he spoke, he got himself a bowl of hot vegetable porridge. Mo Wenyang, the cheeky freeloader, took a break from the guzzle and replied, "It's not the first time I got special treatment for myself, I've done worse. Anyway, they don't have time for me at the moment."

Everybody went to check the zombies by the windows.

"Hehe, he surely has. You know what? Major General Mo even took a cook with him during quests. The impeachment documents against him took up half of the archive. Free breakfast with us means nothing."

Yang Huaien abruptly barged into the breakfast and started mercilessly raking up Mo Wenyang's old deeds. When Zhan Yafei came, he pulled out the chair next to him and got her a bowl of vegetable porridge as well. Zhan Yafei said thank-you, took the bowl from Yang, and started slurping using a disposable spoon. Yun Che saw Yang's move and turned his head to look at Xing Feng who then confirmed his guess with a nod. Yun Che wasn't dull, it was just Yang Huaien had kept a low profile and Yun Che had been busy. Sometimes, Yang Huaien was nice to Yafei, but Yun Che never thought he was after her. It looked like their girl would soon have a family of her own, which was good. Yang Huaien was a nice guy who had a pretty face and fit body, and he wasn't much older than Yafei. To the casual eye, they would make a perfect match but no one was sure how Yafei would see it.

Yun Che wouldn't meddle with their business though. Yafei wouldn't necessarily be happy with the one that he was satisfied with. Yun Che would let her make the choice. If she liked Yang, he wouldn't disagree but if she didn't, he wouldn't force her into anything. The two persons in a relationship should sort things out by themselves, a third one would only mess things up.

"Morning."

"Hey, can you behave yourselves? Have mercy for the single guys, will you."

Five minutes later, Jiang Shang was totally awake. He took Ye Xingchen in his arms and put a kiss on his face. Zhou Zeyu got upset as he happened to see this. "Damn, this is very hurtful for a single guy, are you making me get a girlfriend? All right, then. You lot just wait and see, I'll find a hot chick when we're back in the base." So he swore to himself.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Shang blinked his eyes in confusion, having no idea what Zhou was talking about. Ye Xingchen wouldn't feel embarrassed anymore, he just wore a light blush. Ye hastily took Jiang Shang to wash his face, leaving Zhou Zeyu sitting there like an idiot.

"Haha, you guys are funny."

Mo Wenyang cracked up when he saw this. Yun Che didn't talk him back, he just shook his head with a helpless smile on the face. It was pointless to get at Jiang Shang, otherwise, the sun would rise in the west.

Despite the dire situation out there, Peak and Chaoyang still had a joyful breakfast. They didn't seem to be affected at all whereas everybody else was too stressed to swallow their breakfast. People felt like they got anorexia the moment they thought of the outside. After breakfast, the expedition was rallied and ready to set off. The group led by Yun Che was once again expected to be the vanguard.

"Heiyu, Wolf King, you're on!"

After patting on their robust bodies, Yun Che nodded at Leng Yehan and Lu Haixuan by the roller shutter. They turned around, one put his hand on the lock, the other conjured superfunction.

Rrraaahh!

Arrrghh!

As soon as the roller shutter opened, the zombies surged in, brandishing their talon-like nails. Heiyu and the Wolf King were ready for this. The two beasts dashed forward, forcing the swarming zombies out. Yun Che and the others followed them to the outdoors with superfunction on. Yun Che used air superfunction in search of level-3 zombies as usual, others neatly killed the zombies around them. When everybody was out of the building, the expedition started moving toward the second ring. But the number of zombies never seemed to reduce. No matter how many zombies they slayed, there were always more. They were endless.

"Stay close, don't fall behind."

During the battle, as the commander, Mo Wenyang kept reminding everybody. In case everyone ran of superfunction, the expedition formed a circle and was divided into two groups. One group fought on the outside and the other group recovered their superfunction power on the inside. The two groups took turns fighting and resting every 20 minutes. Ranged superfunction possessors bombarded the zombies from a distance, melee superfunction possessors were responsible for the missed targets, actively engaging any zombies rushing up to then.

"Master, come here. Look at this large supermarket, let's go in and look around."

During the battle, Heiyu pointed at a large supermarket in excitement. Everyone who heard Heiyu just found him unbelievable. They were busting their asses fighting whereas Heiyu was planning to take his time strolling around a supermarket. This was infuriating!

"Wait a sec."

Yun Che gave him a quick reply while fighting a level-3 zombie. He chopped the zombie's head in half. With a flip of the tip of his pitch-black blade, Yun Che picked the crystal nucleus out and pocketed it using air superfunction.

"Wait what? My energy bars can't wait. Hey, master, you run away again!"

Heiyu jumped up and down in exasperation when he saw Yun Che go to engage with another level-3 zombie. He caught Yun Che up within a few leaps. He was told that energy bars would spoil, so if he could, he'd like to store as many energy bars as he could in Space. It was the only kind of snack that he loved. If all energy bars in the world were spoiled, what would he be eating then?

"All right, all right. I'll be quick. You go and get Xing Feng, I'll join you after I kill this one."

Sick of Heiyu's harassment, Yun Che coaxed him when striking the power of thunder at the zombie. Heiyu could tell Yun Che wasn't fooling him around when he saw the ruthlessness and resolution in Yun's moves. He went back and shouted, "Captain Xing, come out. My master is gonna take us to the supermarket."

"What the hell?"

The superfunction possessors resting on the inside of the circle were staggered. "It's so unfair, we want to ransack a supermarket too." They thought.

"Ugh…"

Xing Feng darkened when shooting zombies with his pistol. When Heiyu came back, he put the pistol away and got on his back within several leaps. "Heiyu, lay low, will you? This is too flaunty."

Everybody looked at them with their envious eyes. Also, if zombies could talk, they would definitely raise an objection: "Can you show some respect for your enemies?"

"Why would I lay low? I'm incentivizing them so they can unleash their full potential. See those guys? They fight harder, right? And those, they are shooting their superfunction faster."

Heiyu never knew what laying low meant. He just kept gabbling on and on. You know what? If people weren't convinced, Heiyu would confront them, forcing each and every one to admit.

Knowing that the more he said, the worse things would get, Xing Feng chose to shut up. When Yun Che joined them, he wrapped all three of them up in the air membrane. They swaggered into the supermarket through the zombie herd. The soldiers and superfunction possessors were so envious of them. "These jerks are so annoying. No wonder they are never short of supplies. The stuff they got in these days was enough to sustain a whole freaking army."

The closer they got to the second ring, the more zombies they encountered and the levels of zombies were getting higher and higher——Mostly level 2 or level 3. They also came across a couple of dual-attribute zombies. The battle became more and more grueling. The solution was, level-3 superfunction possessors fought one-on-one with level-3 zombies and level-2 superfunction possessors grouped together to fight with level-2 ones. The expedition didn't even get a chance to take a short break for the entire morning.

"Aaaaahh!"

Now that the crowd was dispersed, they started to have casualties. With one second of lax vigilance, any superfunction possessor would be dragged into the zombie herd. Whether level 2 or level 3, the victims were given no chance to resist and would be ripped into pieces in an instant. Howls and screams never ceased.

"Commander, this cannot go on forever. According to the pictures that the drones took, there are a large number of zombies inside the research institute and they are probably high level ones. It's unlikely for us to get there without rest. How about we find a place to take a breather?"

One of Mo Wenyang's deputies got near to his commander and advised as the death toll continued to grow. Although they were fighting in turns, the huge energy consumption was still worrying. Everybody was hungry after fighting incessantly for the whole morning, hence, more and more mistakes were made. At this point, any mistake could be fatal.

"OK."

Mo Wenyang nodded and raised his head in search of Xing Feng. Xing was easy to be spotted because he had been on Heiyu's back the whole time. "You guys hang in here."

After making sure his slot was filled in, Mo Wenyang withdrew his superfunction and moved toward Xing Feng. Yun Che must be around too. Only they still have extra strength to find a place to rest.

Rrraaahh!

"Roar what? Piss off!"

Everybody knew they could get some rest soon when they heard the advice of Mo's deputy, so they lashed all out at the zombies like crazy, unleashing the rage accumulating in their hearts for the whole morning. All of a sudden, the superfunction possessors took the upper hand, packs and packs of zombies perished in a trice.
