Becoming His Aunt?!

Chaoyang's mess hall, built in the center of the community, looked very simple and out of place among the surrounding villas. It was a huge building with colored steel tiles, and could accommodate up to one thousand people at the same time. Inside were rows of custom-made dining tables that were at least three meters long, and each had benches neatly placed on both sides. Everyone was very conscientious in clearing up after their own meals, so not much manpower was needed to clean up the place. Other than having more than twenty chefs allocated to it, the mess hall also had a dozen staff doing regular cleaning and miscellaneous chores, and everyone else would also help out every now and then. Despite his humble appearance, Chef Qin, the head chef of the mess hall, was actually the head chef of a three-star hotel before the doomsday, and even Yun Che was surprised when he first learned about it.

"Why is Captain here today?"

It was past four in the afternoon, and the kitchen was already preparing dinner. Seeing Yun Che and Xing Feng walking over, Chef Qin, who was peeling potatoes at the door with the junior chefs, greeted them with a big smile, "When will your cabbage be harvested, Captain Yun? We're in need of them."

Chef Qin, who was already over forty, was very fat and also very fair. He smiled at everyone and was very well-liked by others. Even Yun Che who didn't often go to the mess hall often had a deep impression of him.

"Aren't I here to deliver good stuff?"

Yun Che had no airs and could easily get along with others if he wanted to.

"What good stuff? I heard that you can even get your hands on scarce goods like live fish and exotic animals, Captain Yun. You gotta show us some real stuff since you're here today."

Chef Qin didn't stand on ceremony either, and the both of them even started bantering. Xing Feng simply stepped aside to let them go on, but several junior chefs gathered around them after hearing that Yun Che was here to deliver things. They had received many things from Yun Che during this period of time, but what they lacked most now was vegetables. Chaoyang had no lack of meat but had shortage of vegetables.

"Captain Yun, we don't need other stuff, just give us more vegetables."

"That's right, Captain Yun. We're having constipation from all the meat that we're eating."

"Screw you, you're the one getting constipated."

"Haha…"

The junior chefs, all in their twenties, were all apprentices of Chef Qin whom they happened to be with when Xing Feng's men found him after the doomsday, so they were all brought back together. After all, there was no way Chef Qin could handle preparing food for more than a thousand people every meal alone.

"You sure you guys only want vegetables?"

Yun Che asked jokingly, raising his eyebrows. Knowing what he meant, Chef Qin quickly reprimanded the juniors before saying with a smile, "Don't keep us in suspense, Captain Yun. Just show us what you brought, or no one in Chaoyang will get to eat their dinner tonight if this continues."

"Haha…"

Thinking what he said made sense, Yun Che smiled and waved his hand.

"Fish? Look at the big fishes, Chef Qin. Each must be at least a dozen catties? There are a few dozens of them and they are all still alive."

"What's that? A wolf? It's huge…"

"And this, is it a wild boar? I've never seen such a fat wild boar."

"It's been a long time since I saw so many kinds of vegetables…"

Everyone suddenly got excited. The huge dam was now filled with large water basins with dozens of big fish swimming in them, and the colorful vegetables filled a dozen bamboo baskets. There were even a few huge gray wolves and two fat wild boars. Although they all said they didn't care about having meat, there was no way anyone would really say no to it, especially when it was fresh meat, which was something that they hadn't had ever since the doomsday came.

"Wonderful, you're awesome, Captain Yun. Come on boys, get to work, we shall have a feast tonight."

Chef Qin exclaimed before yelling at the excited junior chefs with vigor. Yun Che stopped him with a smile, "Those are mutant wolves, Chef Qin. They benefit superfunction possessors greatly, but it's not advisable for ordinary people to eat them. All of us will be having dinner here tonight, so don't forget to prepare food for another twenty people. Oh, and keep a leg of the wild boar for me, I'm bringing it back for the Wolf King."

"Mutant wolves? That explains their size. Wait, Captain Yun, are you saying that mutant wolves can also be eaten?"

Chef Qin came to a realization only after a while, feeling puzzled that mutant beats could be eaten since they ate human beings.

"Yes, all mutant beasts can be eaten, only zombies cannot be eaten. Some mutant plants or the fruits they bear are also edible."

They were all very nourishing, just that men would have after effects after eating them…

Yun Che deliberately didn't say this out, wanting to let them experience it for themselves at night, and the singles would have to suffer again.

"That's great, we don't have to worry about having not enough food anymore. Alright, Captains, please make yourself at home. I'm gonna take these monkeys to start preparing. We shall have a feast tonight."

It had been a long time since he had a chance to show off his skills. Chef Qin patted Yun Che on the shoulder before instructing the junior chefs to get to work.

"Are the wild boars also a product of the Space?"

Xing Feng walked over and held his hand very naturally, but everyone was so attracted by the amount of ingredients that no one noticed the two captains' "affair".

"Yes, Heiyu threw a tantrum at me and hunted five big wild boars at one go. I was afraid that they would attract too much attention, so I'll get someone to send the remaining three over another day."

The two of them walked back slowly after delivering the ingredients since they had nothing else to do. They were usually very busy and didn't have much leisure time like this.

"Haha… I think everyone would be happy to have Heiyu throwing tantrums."

"Tell me about it! This is true especially for Bro Chu."

Both of them couldn't help laughing when they thought of Chu Haoling.

"By the way, do you guys rear any poultry?"

Yun Che turned his head and asked when he suddenly thought of this. According to what Hei Yu said, it would be more useful to put living things than ordinary objects into the Space. Since Xing Feng and his squad had already made preparations before the doomsday, he thought they would have probably reared some poultry too.

"Yes, but they're all still quite small. We only bought young poultry at that time in order to save space during transportation. You wanna rear them?"

Continuous reproduction was the only long-term solution. He had already made whatever preparations he could in order to cope with the doomsday, and the same went for the military. Each unit had a special breeding area, but they were restricted to having only animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. It was impossible to have aquatic animals such as fish, shrimps and crabs, for not only did they require a lot of effort, they might not even survive, and most importantly they alone weren't enough to fill their stomachs.

"Yep, size is not an issue. Get me a pair of each, I wanna put them into the Space like what Heiyu suggested to me. I think only the ocean hasn't been unlocked as of now. You guys will be able to go in too after the ocean is unlocked."

"This is good news. I'll get Mingxuan to send them over later."

He had long wanted to see what Yun Che's Space looked like, for it seemed like a great place from the way he described it.

"Tomorrow I…"

"Master!"

"Uncle!"

Xing Feng had just started talking when they suddenly heard Heiyu's voice, killing their moods. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of them with Chenchen on his back. Having not seen his uncle for several days Chenchen happily ran to Yun Che, ignoring even his pet.

"Haha… I've not seen you for a few days, Chenchen. Did you miss me?"

Yun Che carried the chubby Chenchen up before giving him a kiss on the cheek and pinching his little nose dotingly.

"Yes, I missed you very very much. Uncle Cheng missed you too, he waited for you together with me."

Chenchen placed his chubby arm around Yun Che's neck affectionately and kept nodding his head. He had been waiting for Yun Che at the door with Uncle Cheng every day in the morning and after school, but he never came back. It was only until today when Uncle Heiyu went to the kindergarten to pick him up that he heard from him his uncle had gone to the mess hall, so he quickly carried Xiaobai and asked Uncle Heiyu to take him to his uncle.

"You're such a sweet talker, I've not doted on you in vain."

Yun Che kissed him again before quietly changing to his other hand to carry him, thinking that his little nephew seemed to have become heavier…

"Chenchen, you didn't miss Uncle Xing?"

Xing Feng, who had been paying attention to them, caught what Yun Che did, so he carried Chenchen over without showing any change in his expression. Used to giving flattery, Chenchen smacked his lips the moment Xing Feng carried him, "I missed Uncle Xing, too. Uncle Xing, Uncle Heiyu said that you're gonna marry my uncle, is that true?"

Chenchen simply asked whatever doubt he had. Although he was less than three years old and didn't quite understand what getting married meant, he played make-believe with his friends and knew that getting married meant that they were going to live together, though he had no idea how they were actually going to do that.

"Haha…"

Xing Feng smiled and looked at Heiyu and then at Yun Che before freeing one hand to hold Yun Che's hand, "Yes, you will also be my nephew then, Chenchen."

As Chenchen was very adorable, everyone including Xing Feng liked him.

"Why is that so? Are you going to become my uncle too?"

Puzzled, Chenchen asked with his head tilted to one side, but…

"You're wrong, Chenchen, not uncle, but aunt."

"Hahaha…"

After Heiyu answered him, Yun Che immediately burst into laughter, but Xing Feng was dumbstruck, and his mouth kept twitching. After getting them into a fix once again, Heiyu held his head proudly and shook his fat butt as he walked next to Yun Che in an awe-inspiring manner. The puzzled Chenchen looked around was now more confused. However, seeing that his "aunt" looked unhappy, the sensible Chenchen decided not to ask anymore but to ask his mom instead when he got home.

The mess hall was crowded with people at half past six in the evening. After hearing that there was going to be a feast tonight, everyone regardless of age and gender came to the mess hall early and were already waiting inside. Remembering that he had previously exchanged fifty cases of beer with Lei Dashan, Yun Che took them out so that everyone could enjoy the meal. Pots of tenderly cooked meat were served at around seven o'clock. In addition, on every table were three pots of spicy boiled fish as well as various stir-fried meats and vegetables. Everyone couldn't help drooling when they saw the food.

"Listen up, everyone. Inside the pots is mutant wolf meat which can only be eaten by superfunction possessors. Those without superfunction abilities, please restrain yourselves."

The chubby Chef Qin walked around the mess hall with a bullhorn while the women distributed the bowls and chopsticks. Upon hearing what he said, the non-superfunction possessors all complained of discrimination.

"Can mutant beasts really be eaten?"

"I guess, since Captain Yun said so. He and the other captains are all here"

"Mutant beasts are…"

After the superfunction possessors discussed for a while among themselves, everyone shifted their gaze to Heiyu, who was lying beside Yun Che, holding a braised wolf leg and stuffing it into his mouth. When he noticed everyone looking at him, he exploded right away, "What are you looking at? Are you guys thinking of eating me too? I'll be the one eating you guys up first."

"Haha…"

Seeing him baring his teeth, the entire mess hall burst into laughter. Given his character, who would dare to mess with him?
