Luring Heiyu and Scaring Major General Mo

"What did you say?! The entire base was attacked by mutant trees?"

It was almost dawn after the ordeal. Everyone was preparing to freshen up and have breakfast. The space superfunction possessors took out the army trucks stored in Space while Yun Che and the others helped Meng Xu clean his wound. When asked about Meng Xu's eyes, Meng Gang had just mentioned the massacre at the base by mutant trees and zombies when Zhou Zeyu and Lu Haixuan both exclaimed.

"Well, I don't know exactly how many mutant trees there were. The entire base was in chaos and later on attacked by zombies. Xu couldn't fight anymore after the sap of a mutant tree splashed into his eyes, so I took him out amidst the chaos."

Since they were all young, Meng Gang let down his defenses after feeling that they had no enmity towards him. However, talking about his younger brother made him feel upset. Their parents and relatives had all died, leaving behind only the two of them. He didn't know how he was going to survive doomsday if his younger brother really went blind.

"Leave your questions to later."

Seeing Zhou Zeyu and the others still wanting to continue asking, Yun Che cut them off before getting up and walking to Meng Xu. After lifting his eyelids to take a look, Yun Che took out a washbasin and a few bottles of water from Space. He gave one of the bottles to Meng Gang, motioning him to let Meng Xu drink it and pour the rest into the basin.

"Finish it."

Yun Che's voice turned solemn when Meng Xu didn't want to drink anymore after taking a few sips. Seeing Yun Che's solemn expression, Meng Gang quickly gave the bottle to Meng Xu again, "Come, Xu, drink it slowly."

"Oh."

Not wanting to make his brother worry, the shy Meng Xu nodded and reached for the bottle before pouring it into his mouth. After Meng Xu finished drinking, Yun Che took one of his hands and placed it on the edge of the washbasin, "Try cleaning your eyes yourself, let the water get into your eyes and don't be afraid of the pain. We'll think of other ways if this doesn't work."

Since the spring water had detoxifying properties and could kill the zombie virus, it probably had the same effect on the mutant tree poison.

"Ok."

Knowing that Yun Che was doing it for his own good, Meng Xu fumbled with his other hand and buried his face in the basin before picking up the scarf inside and placing it over his eyes. He then wiped his eyelids and the area around his eyes before trying to open them. The moment the spring water touched his eyeballs, he felt tingling pain again, and his somewhat slender body trembled. Meng Gang was watching beside him and wanted to hug him, but was stopped by Yun Che. After looking up and seeing Yun Che shaking his head at him, Meng Gang had to force himself to calm down, for he would only harm his brother if he reached out to him now.

"You guys go ahead with your breakfast, I'll go get Heiyu."

Before Meng Xu finished cleaning himself, Yun Che took out their breakfast and went out. When he came back again, he had a brazen-faced puppy in his arms. Meng Xu had already washed his eyes but still couldn't open them, and Meng Gang was feeding him food.

"That's him? Why are you always inviting trouble, Master, could you please be smarter? Your low IQ is stressing me out."

The Meng brothers opened their mouths in shock the moment he started talking. And it was the same old question—a dog could actually talk?

"Cut the crap, I'm just asking you if you have any medicine that can cure his eyes. Don't make it sound as if I'm cutting a piece of your flesh."

Yun Che smacked him on the forehead in annoyance and rolled his eyes. Asking something from him was worse than killing a miser like him.

"Isn't it the same as cutting a piece of my flesh? You're always taking advantage of me. Do you know how much effort it took me to get those stuff? I'm fine with it if you're the one who needs them, but you're giving them even to your team members. They had just taken loads of precious stuff from me yesterday, and you're doing it again today. You're asking me for something now but don't allow me to even grumble. Why do I have such a horrible master like you?"

Well, Heiyu had a short temper and was still angry over what happened yesterday. It would be surprising if he was in a good mood today.

"Come on, do you have to do this over a box of medicine? Alright, I'll get you a set of equipment if we really encounter an energy bar manufacturing factory in the future, how's that?"

Knowing that he would be the one to get pissed off if he tried to argue with Heiyu, Yun Che decided to lure him instead, and was confident that it would work.

"Remember what you just said, don't go back on your word!"

As if afraid that Yun Che would go back on his word, Heiyu jumped down from his arms before turning into the size of an ordinary Tibetan Mastiff and looking straight at him with his black eyes.

"Yes, yes, I promise."

"Would I dare to go back on my word? You're such a pain in the ass!"

Needless to say, Yun Che couldn't say this out and could only keep nodding his head. Only then was Heiyu satisfied, and even his unhappiness from yesterday seemed to have disappeared. He turned to look at Meng Xu, whose eyes were closed, and said, "Kid, open your eyes and let me have a look."

"Uh…"

Before Meng Xu could react, Meng Gang looked at Yun Che and the others with hesitation. Lu Haixuan, who was the nearest to him, patted him on the shoulder and advised, "Just listen to him, otherwise…"

Lu Haixuan let out a deep sigh and shook his head, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, Xu, open your eyes and let him have a look."

After getting the nod from Yun Che, the confused Meng Gang reached out to touch his brother's arm, and Meng Xu opened his eyes obediently. His eyes were now blood-red instead of the normal black and white, even redder than those of Yun Cheng and looking like two burning blood-colored beads. Other than this, there was nothing else in the eyes. They weren't sure if it was their illusion, but they seemed to smell a sweet fruit scent the moment his eyes opened.

"The smell of peaches…hmm, luckily it's not very serious."

Not serious?

Everyone who heard what Heiyu said looked at him doubtfully. His eyes were already in this state and he called that not serious?

"Here, take this and you will be able to see again in a few days. There's no need to worship me, I'm just so awesome!"

"Erm…"

Heiyu rubbed his front paws on his stomach, and an earthy black mud ball about the size of a thumb appeared on his palm. Yun Che and the others who knew about his Space didn't have much reaction, but the clueless Meng Gang seriously wondered if the mud ball was formed by the dirt on his body.

"Take it, there's no need to stand on ceremony, or I'll be unhappy."

Heiyu urged brazenly after seeing them not taking the pill from him. Since the pill could be exchanged for a set of energy bar manufacturing equipment, how was he going to get the equipment if they didn't take the pill? Based on his understanding of his master, there was no way he would get him the equipment if this man wasn't cured. His master was the most horrible swindler he had ever met.

If Yun Che were to know what he was thinking, he would probably say that was the pot calling the kettle black.

"Just take it, it's nothing weird. It should be able to cure Meng Xu since he said so. Although Heiyu likes to take advantage of others, he's still very reliable in this area. You will know after you get to know him."

Yun Che nodded at Meng Gang after knowing what he was thinking. Meng Gang then took the mud ball from his paw, turned around and took a deep breath before giving the mud ball to Meng Xu as a last resort, "Xu, let's give it a try since we have no other way out."

"Oh."

Meng Xu wasn't as stressed since he couldn't see, so he simply opened his mouth and took the mud ball. A strong medicinal scent spread in his mouth at once, and even Meng Gang and others could smell the scent. It was only after seeing this that Yun Che took out an energy bar, tore the wrapper and fed it to Heiyu, "Thank you Mr. Hei, you're the best."

"Of course, it's me you're talking about. Master, I realized that your IQ has improved, congratulations!"

"Screw you!"

Seeing him full of himself, Yun Che smacked his face away and walked back to Xing Feng before taking a bite of the meat bun in his hand. Heiyu didn't talk back as he was chewing on the energy bar. Feeling that he hadn't eaten to his heart's content, he took out more energy bars, sat down like a human, and tore the wrappers with his two front paws before putting the energy bars into his mouth. Meng Gang, who was stunned by what he saw, secretly marveled at what dogs could do during doomsday.

After the team assembled at eight o'clock in the morning when the sky was bright, a dozen army trucks and a small bus that had a sitting capacity of twenty people drove on the highway. The obstacles on the road had been cleared a few days ago, and the new zombies were basically no match for them. The return journey was faster than they had thought, and they entered Lingjiang City in less than two hours.

The road from the highway toll gate to the base was still filled with cars and zombies. Instead of inviting trouble this time, Mo Wenyang got the convoy to turn into the old road, crossing the bridge and going back to the base via the old road. Along the way, they saw many escaping vehicles which had probably escaped from the base where Meng Gang and the others had been. Due to his image as a soldier, Mo Wenyang had no choice but to instruct his soldiers to let those people drive behind them. As a result, they took another two hours on this part of the journey, and it was almost twelve o'clock when they got back to the base.

"Xing and I are going to unload the goods, you guys go back first and ask my sister to prepare a few more dishes. I'm famished."

At the gate of the base, Yun Che gave a few simple instructions to Leng Yehan and the others before getting into the jeep that came to pick up Mo Wenyang. The soldiers of the three armies had all gone back, and only the space superfunction possessors had to go to the military warehouse to unload the goods.

"The villa area is indeed much bigger than Chaoyang."

When the jeep drove into the villa area, Yun Che looked out of the window and saw that each villa had a huge garden in front of it. Although there were no more plants inside, the backyard also looked very big. They were all three-story villas that each covered an area that was ​​at least two to three times that of their house, and it was without a doubt that only the rich could afford to live in this type of grand mansion.

"This place was also developed by Chaoyang before doomsday, but was requisitioned by the military after that."

Mo Wenyang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said casually. Yun Che yelled and turned to Xing Feng, "You wastrel, why did you give such a good location to others? How did you benefit from it?"

Xing Feng, Mo Wenyang, and the driver were all dumbfounded. Why did the conversation topic suddenly change?

"The benefit is that they have no right to control anything both inside and outside of Chaoyang, isn't that enough?"

Xing Feng didn't dare to say that he had also sent out many other things in exchange for it. He didn't have a choice since he was now a married man. If his wife felt that he was a wastrel, he would likely be a victim of domestic violence when he got back.

"That sounds better, but you still lost out a little. Forget it, but don't do it again in the future. You have to be thrifty in managing a household, understand?"

While talking, Yun Che deliberately put on a stern face and looked at Mo Wenyang, whose eyes were twitching, through the rearview mirror. Now that the mission had been completed, it was time to settle their personal grudges, for he hadn't forgotten how Mo Wenyang had mocked at him.

"Yes, yes, you have the final say in our house."

Seeing Xing Feng's servility as a guardian beast, Mo Wenyang turned around and said, "Geez, Xing Feng, you're letting a home-guarding beast manage the household, are you crazy?"

How horrible. The thought of him having to go through Yun Che first whenever he needed Xing Feng to do something made him feel as if he had one foot in the grave.

"Home-guarding beast, what a unique nickname, when did you give me that, Major General Mo?"

Yun Che had a grim smile on his face, and the piercing sound he made by pressing his hands together made Mo Wenyang tremble with fear, "Oh, hmm, the weather seems good today. The sky is clear and cloudless…"

Damn, this beast is really horrifying. Heiyu is really cute compared with him.

"Yeah, the weather is very good, but the better the weather, the louder the thunder. Would you like to hear that, Major General Mo?"

While talking, a purple lightning appeared around his arm. Xing Feng quickly leaned towards the car door next to him to minimize his presence without forgetting to look at Mo Wenyang with sympathy. Take care, bro, I will visit your grave this day next year.

"No, it's okay, I can't stand the sound of thunder since I was a kid. You're too kind, Captain Yun. Please put it away, you're wasting your superfunction like this…"

Mo Wenyang quickly turned around again and waved his hands dismissively, looking like he was about to cry. Yun Che frowned, "Are you sure you don't need it??"

"Yes, I'm sure. Please be kind, Captain Yun, can we don't do this?"

He would really cry if this continued.

"And the nickname home-guarding beast?"

"Who dares to call you a home-guarding beast? I will not spare anyone who does that!"

Mo Wenyang widened his eyes and acted like he meant what he said. Only then did Yun Che remove the lightning on his arm in satisfaction, and Mo Wenyang was so scared that his heart had almost stopped.
