Yun Cheng was the only one of the two squads that didn't go to the dinner party. He didn't need that kind of food. Besides, there was concern that he might lose control of himself when he went outside and saw blood. The furthest place he had ever been to so far was the front door of his house. Nobody had the courage to let him go outside, and he didn't sneak out to cause trouble. Though he didn't like being left at home alone while everyone else was having fun out there, his sister and brother had successfully persuaded him to be a good boy. At the moment, he was eating crystal nucleus and playing with Wolf King as well as Xiaobai while waiting for them.
"Brother! Chenchen!"
At the sight of Yun Che and Chenchen, Yun Cheng ran over, leaving Wolf King and Xiaobai behind.
"Hey, we're back! Staying at home alone, you must have been bored, right?"
After putting Chenchen on Heiyu's back, Yun Che embraced him and stroked his head as usual. While walking inside the house with him, Yun Che said to Wolf King, "There's a wild boar leg for you outside. Go, help yourself."
"Owoo!"
The smart Wolf King howled excitedly before running outside for his food. Yun Che turned his gaze from the wolf's happy figure to his brother and pondered a bit before saying, "Cheng, do you want to go outside?"
Who wouldn't want to? Cheng seemed to be missing the crowd very much recently. It was human nature to hate being isolated. Even though he had become a zombie, this was something that wouldn't change.
"Of course!… Well, no, I don't!"
Yun Cheng nodded involuntarily before he shook his head the next second, holding his brother's arm and staring at the ground sullenly. Chenchen told him that there were many kids outside and it was funny. He wanted to go outside, but his sister and Yehan wouldn't let him. He had no choice but to stay in the house.
Judging from his depressed look, Yun Che figured out what he really wanted.
Yun Che turned to look at Heiyu before saying suddenly, "Let's go out for a ride."
He could not let Yun Cheng leave the house alone, but it would be fine if they went out together.
"We're going outside?"
Yun Cheng looked up with both surprise and happiness.
"Yeah. When did I ever lie to you?"
Knowing that he was right about what his brother wanted, Yun Che smiled brightly while meeting his brother's gaze.
"Great! You're the most wonderful brother in the universe!"
Yun Cheng pounced over to hug him and bounced excitedly. Yun Che patted his back with deep affection while feeling sentimental: He merely promised to take his brother out for a ride, but his brother was so happy as if he had got the brightest star from the sky.
"Heiyu, transform to your original shape."
The two brothers took Heiyu outside. Standing at the door, Yun Che said to Heiyu as he held Chenchen in his arms again.
"Are you sure? If anyone gets frightened, don't blame me."
Despite what he had just said, Heiyu's body started to expand and became as large as a small mountain in an instant. Considering Heiyu his mount, Chenchen clapped his hands excitedly. At the sight of that, Yun Cheng clapped his hands as well. Both of them looked innocent and adorable.
"Alright. Get up there."
Yun Che kept smiling all the time. Heiyu got down to let Yun Che put Chenchen on his back. Before anyone asked, Yun Cheng leaped and landed behind Chenchen. Yun Che was surprised at first, but when he came back to his sense that Yun Cheng was a zombie now, he shook his head and smiled involuntarily. He should not feel surprised. After all, Cheng was a super zombie, and he had a strong physical body as the zombies of new generations, and even stronger.
"Let's take a night tour in the base."
"Aye, Master! Buckle up, guys."
After Yun Che patted Heiyu's body, the latter responded as he got up. With his four limbs kicking back, he dashed out like an arrow flying away from the bow.
"Oh, my God! Uncle Heiyu is amazing!"
"Heiyu, you're awesome!"
The super-fast speed didn't scare them; instead, it made them excited. Chenchen wasn't afraid as he had been used to riding Heiyu, and Yun Cheng was too excited about his first time to have any other kind of feelings. Heiyu could jump several meters high and leaped a dozen meters far, which made sitting on his back more thrilling than any game they had ever played in amusement parks before the doomsday.
"Be careful. Don't get yourself dropped."
Yun Che, sitting behind them, secretly enveloped their lower bodies with air membrane to keep them from falling. Heiyu also used his long hair to grab their feet. "Master, how about we take a trip outside the base?"
It occurred to him that he had never run outside the base before. Knowing that there were superfunction possessors guarding the base wall at night, he wanted to go there and scare them for fun.
"Just the second base wall. We can't go further."
If they went further, they might run into zombies. With Yun Cheng's current condition, it would be better to keep him away from those things.
"Got it."
Heiyu responded without hesitation before he passed the canteen with a few leaps. At the time, Xing Feng and the others happened to walk out of the canteen. Staring at his huge figure, Chu Haoling stayed in a daze for a while before he pointed at the direction where the huge figure had just disappeared, stuttering, "Bo…Boss, was that Heiyu? Was he carrying a few people on his back?"
He saw Heiyu carrying three people, but it didn't seem to make sense. In the community, all the people were in the canteen except for Yun Che and Chenchen. So, who was the third person?
"Uh-huh."
Others nodded at the same time, while Leng Yehan stared at the darkness with a sullen look. He recognized the third person – It was Cheng. Why would Yun Che take Cheng outside? Did he forget that…?
No, that was impossible! Yun Che loved Cheng as much as he did. There must be a good reason for this.
At the moment, Leng Yehan wished he had a pair of wings so that he could fly over and ask Yun Che what was going on.
"Che…"
Having recognized those two faces that looked exactly the same, Yun Yao became worried in an instant. Zhan Yafei hurriedly held her arm to support her. Yun Cheng's identity was classified. Few people of Chaoyang knew that he was a zombie, and to the outside world, he didn't even exist. The consequence would be hard to imagine if his true identity was discovered.
"Che always knows what he's doing. It's dark outside, and Cheng is wearing cosmetic contact lenses. Nobody will notice that he's different."
Xing Feng came to a conclusion after a while. He believed that Yun Che only took Cheng outside because the latter felt too lonely to stay in the house. They chose to ride Heiyu instead of walking, which suggested that they were taking a tour for fun. Though the superfunction possessors guarding the base wall probably had enhanced vision or hearing, with the cover of the darkness, they wouldn't notice anything unusual with Yun Cheng, who looked like a normal person despite his pale skin and scarlet red lips. The only secret they would discover was that Yun Che had a brother, who looked exactly like him.
"Ah… look at that! A monster!"
"It's so large! What's that?"
"Ahahah…"
Wherever Heiyu passed by, there were screams and cries. After all, not many people had seen him before. It wasn't very late in the evening, and people had not slept yet. When people saw the giant creature flying above, it would certainly scare the hell out of them. But this giant creature seemed to favor the places with people.
"Haha… Did you see that, Master? They're all afraid of me."
Leaping up and down with the three people on his back, Heiyu gloated. Yun Che didn't even bother to criticize Heiyu but rolled his eyes back with his hand covering his forehead.
"Uncle Heiyu, you're a bad man. You scare those people on purpose!"
See? Even Chenchen couldn't stand his behavior. Yun Cheng didn't seem to care about this at all. He just looked around curiously.
"Fatty Chenchen, you're too young to understand this. If I don't scare them, they'll try to scare us. I'm doing this for you guys."
How shameless he was to justify his action like that!
"It's not Fatty Chenchen. Chenchen is not fat!"
Upon hearing the nickname "Fatty Chenchen", Chenchen forgot about the former topic and grabbed a pinch of Heiyu's hair as he argued.
"Well, Chenchen, we have to be honest. You're indeed a fat boy."
"Uncle Heiyu, I hate you! Humph!"
Come on! This kid hated him for being honest once in a blue moon? Heiyu felt upset in an instant, and he believed this was Yun Che's fault as Yun Che had kept misleading Chenchen to think that he was just baby fat, not actually overweight.
"Uncle…"
Angry still, Chenchen crawled past Yun Cheng and got into Yun Che's arms before looking up and pouting. "Uncle, I'm not fat, am I?"
Crap! His voice was choking. He must be taking this very seriously.
"Of course not. I've told you this before. This is baby fat, and it's adorable. You'll become slim when you grow up."
Yun Che stubbornly believed that the kid was not fat. And even if he did think the kid was fat, he wouldn't say so at this moment.
"But people all say that I'm fat. In the kindergarten, there's even a big brother who calls me little fatty."
Keeping his head down, Chenchen felt sad. He had explained a million times that he was not fat, but those people just wouldn't listen to him. Even Uncle Chu would call him Fatty Ball sometimes.
"Ignore them. They're just jealous of your cuteness. Your mother and your uncles are all slim. When you grow up, you'll be slim, too. Trust me."
Holding the kid's face in his hands, Yun Che coaxed him. Upon hearing his crap, Heiyu almost tripped himself, thinking, "Man, are you sure this is the right way to teach a child?"
His master was indeed full of bullshit.
"Right, Chenchen is not fat. You're adorable. I like you."
Yun Cheng turned around to hug the round body of his nephew. After hearing what his two uncles had said, Chenchen finally started to smile, "Emm! I want to grow up as soon as possible and become as slim as mommy and uncles. Well, no, I want to become as tall as Uncle Xing and protect uncles and mommy."
Chenchen said in a serious tone. In his mind, his uncle was strong, and it would be perfect if his uncle were as tall as Uncle Xing. His dream was to grow as tall as Uncle Xing and become as strong as his uncle and Ultraman.
"Hahaha…Good. I'll be waiting for you to grow up and protect me."
Pleased by those innocent words, Yun Che laughed out loud. Yun Cheng also echoed him, "Well, I'll be waiting for you to grow up and protect me, too."
"That's a deal!"
Chenchen nodded seriously. As they chatted, they reached the gate of the base, and Heiyu leaped over the tall wall effortlessly.
"Who's there?"
The guards immediately became alert and pointed guns at them. The superfunction possessors also made their superfunctions ready instantly. Sitting on Heiyu's back, Yun Che waved at everyone, "Sorry, Guys! I'm just taking a walk with these kids and my pet. Don't worry. Despite his large figure, Heiyu is meek."
"Emm…"
None of the soldiers was buying his crap. It had long been well-known in the base that his pet was a powerful combat force.
"Captain Yun, this is against the rule. Would you please go back inside the base to take a walk?"
A major came forward to ask him politely. The man wanted to be tough, but nobody had the guts. Rumor had it that the beast could smash several zombies with one slap and scare the hell out of a mutant beast with one roar. Though they were soldiers, they were just human beings. They didn't want to die.
"Relax. I'm taking a walk out here. Didn't your chief tell you? The mutant beasts have come out. They're stronger than zombies. Fortunately, Heiyu is a high-level beast. I'll have him pee around the wall later, and the scent will help keep the mutant beasts away."
Yun Che was bullshitting again, and the soldiers didn't even know how to react.
"Hey Master, how could you make me pee in a public place? I'm a civilized divine beast!"
Heiyu refused to cooperate. Upon hearing his strong objection, the soldiers started to believe that Yun Che was telling the truth before – Heiyu was just a good pet. However…
"Oh? Are you sure? In that case, the equipment to produce energy bars…"
Yun Che raised his eyebrows slightly as he said. Heiyu interrupted him hastily, "Master, you want me to pee here and leave some scent, right? I always do whatever you ask, don't I? I can even shit here if you want me to."
"Seriously?"
All the soldiers were taken aback and almost fell off the wall. When the soldiers broke out of the trance to look at the beast and the people on his back, they had been long gone.
