"Is that Captain Yun's dog?"
"Right, it's him. And the wolf behind him is a Wolf King. Captain Yun specially tamed the wolf for Ye Xingchen while they were carrying out a mission in the provincial capital."
"Peak Squad is the coolest squad in the base."
"Alas! We're a squad of superfunction possessors, too. How come there would be such a big difference between them and us?"
"I'm wondering the same thing. If only our captain is half as strong as Captain Yun."
"Forget it. The most important thing is that Captain Yun cares about his teammates. Even if our captain had the ability, he wouldn't tame a mutant wolf for us."
"Alas…"
When the two giant beasts ran across the sections, all the people who saw them envied Peak Squad, the coolest squad in the base. Though Chaoyang ranked on top of Peak Squad, Peak Squad was unrivaled when it comes to showing off. Wherever Peak Squad showed up, it was always the center of attention.
"Hey, guards! Long time no see! You don't need to open the gate for us. I can do it by myself."
Heiyu's voice arrived before his figure appeared at the gate of the base. The guards all twitched their lips involuntarily, 'What the hell is this beast doing here again?" Heiyu had teased them when he went out in the morning, and the last thing they wanted was to see him again in the afternoon.
"Captain Yun, Captain Xing, are you going outside again?"
A major general walked up to them with a depressed look. Why couldn't Captain Yun give them a break? The harassment of this beast almost pushed them over the edge. More and more guards on the day shift had been asking for leaves recently. If things continued like this, no guards would be willing to guard the gate in the future.
"Major General Su, glad to see you again."
Though Yun Che seldom went out for missions with his squad, he knew the major generals responsible for guarding the gate of the base. With his keen perceptiveness, he must have noticed that Major General Su was distressed, but he had no intention to be considerate today. Because Wei Kan had pissed him off, he was more than happy to inflict some pain upon Wei's subordinate.
"Hey, tiny Su, I'm standing right here. How dare you ignore me? That's rude! Which unit are you in? Do you want me to file a complaint to your leader?"
Heiyu intentionally stayed at the gate and teased. Just like many other pets, Heiyu took after his master in many aspects. Yun Che tended to hold a grudge, and so did Heiyu. He still blamed the military for causing him to be used as a search dog.
"Open the gate for Captain Yun and Captain Xing."
Knowing that he was no match for the beast, Major General Su waved his hand to give the instruction. Despite all those eyes watching him, he just wanted this group of people to get out as soon as possible.
"Master, does he loathe me and try to drive me away?"
Instead of passing the door immediately, Heiyu looked back at Yun Che, who was sitting on his back. Yun Che nodded, "It seems so. Did you do anything unforgivable to offend him?"
"Of course not! Under your influence, I've become a gentleman. Every time I passed the door, I didn't only greet them, but I also praised them with all kinds of commendatory terms. I'm sweet, alright?"
How shameless this beast was! Facing the beast with his back, Major General Su felt like words had failed him at this moment. All the guards complained secretly. What kind of praise was that? His haunting voice had almost killed them. If possible, they would like to beg him to leave them alone.
"Maybe their commander didn't teach them well enough. You should hang out more often in the base, and when you run into their commander, don't forget to teach him how to be grateful."
All the soldiers were shocked at how vicious Yun Che was. Hadn't this beast tortured them enough?
"Uh-huh. Sure enough, only you can see my merit."
"That goes without saying. I'm your master, remember?"
"Dear Master, I love you!"
This beast and his master didn't seem to have any sense of shame at all. The guards all despised them to an extent beyond description. Why on earth would God have created such shameless creatures?
"Guys, it's time to go."
"Uh-huh. Let's go!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Reminded by Xing Feng, Yun Che finally patted Heiyu's body, who took the order and jumped over the wall of several-meters height. Wolf King kicked his hooves and stayed close behind him.
"Cool!"
"That's cool! How nice it would be if I could join Chaoyang or Peak Squad."
"You? Forget about it. Even the women in Peak Squad are stronger than you. Words have it that Captain Yun's sister is also a superfunction possessor, but she's only qualified to stay at home for cooking."
"Speaking of which, the guy who looks exactly like Captain Yun is his younger brother, right? Is he good?"
"God knows. I think he is anyway. Someone as powerful as Captain Yun is unlikely to have a loser brother."
"Where are they going?"
After they left, the superfunction possessors gathering at the open gate started to discuss. The guards guarding the gate breathed a sigh of relief one after another: Thank God! These people finally left.
"Did our leaders offend Captain Yun?"
Watching their receding figures, Major General Su frowned with puzzlement. He had met Yun Che many times, but the latter had never deliberately given him a hard time before.
"Excuse me, Sir?"
"Nothing. Cheer up! Don't be slack!"
"Aye, Sir!"
When the guards who had vaguely heard his voice looked at him with confusion, Major General Su pulled himself back from the thoughts and yelled at his soldiers. Every guard stood in attention immediately. Now that the beast harassing them had left, the guards all returned to their mighty and upright form.
The same thing happened at the second city wall. This time, Yun Che even told others they were going for a hike in the mountains. The guards, the superfunction possessors passing by, and the civilians building the city wall all watched them leave in shock. But there was something more shocking to them.
"Yehan, what are those things? They're ugly!"
About a hundred meters away from the second city wall, there was a steel wire protective net, which prevented zombies from coming inside. The zombies who followed the scent or the crowd here screamed behind the protective net but couldn't get past. Most of the zombies were below level three. Some had large festering areas on their faces and bloody carrion in their mouths, and some had missing organs or limbs. Repulsed by the sight, Yun Cheng frowned immediately.
"Those are zombies. Don't look at them. You'll feel sick."
With that, Leng Yehan wrapped his waist from behind with one hand and covered his eyes with the other one. Yun Cheng pulled his hand down and said, frowning, "I'm feeling sick. They're dirty."
As the most advanced zombie for the time being, Yun Cheng had the best hearing and the most sensitive nose. Even if his eyes were covered, he could still smell their scent, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"We're going out."
Having heard their conversation, Yun Che looked back to remind them, indicating Leng Yehan to pay close attention to Yun Cheng and keep him safe.
"Uh-huh."
Leng Yehan nodded and held Yun Cheng harder with his sweaty hand. Instead of going through the front gate, Heiyu leaped over the fence with a roar.
The zombies outside swarmed up immediately.
"Get away from us! You stink!"
The moment Wolf King landed on the ground, Yun Cheng, who could no longer stand the smell, roared angrily. As if they could understand his words, the zombies yelling at them were all frozen for a second. And then, they flinched and retreated hurriedly. Some were pushed to fall on the ground because they moved too slowly. Within a few seconds, all the zombies had retreated a few meters away from them.
This shocked not only Yun Che and his friends but also the people who were watching them from inside the second city wall. Those people were trying to digest what had just happened: Captain Yun and Captain Xing were scary good, and even the zombies flinched at the sight of them.
"Step back a little bit. You guys are smelly and dirty. You should go take a shower."
Yun Cheng had no idea what a remarkable thing he had done. He just waved his hand with repulsion. But this time, the zombies didn't step back as he had asked. If anyone looked closer, he would find out that the zombies were still yelling at them. They just didn't dare to get close.
"Damn! Cheng, you're awesome! How did you do that? Those zombies look stupid now."
Heiyu looked back at Yun Cheng, and his eyes lit up. If this worked for all the zombies, he could take Yun Cheng with them every time they went outside in the future. In that case, his master would no longer need to worry about expending too much air superfunction. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Huh?"
Yun Cheng had no idea what Heiyu was talking about, and he just blinked with confusion. Having broken out of the trance, Yun Che whispered to Xing Feng with a smile, "Indeed, it feels different to have a Super Zombie with us."
Those zombies retreated after being yelled by Yun Cheng not because they understood his words, but because they were terrified by his mighty vibe. Yun Cheng was at least at level six. Standing among the zombies at or lower than level three, he was like a superman standing among mortals. Therefore, it wasn't a surprise that these low-level zombies were afraid of him.
"Che, what did you just say? Super Zombie?"
Yun Cheng was still confused, frowning at the smelly surroundings. Leng Yehan hurriedly shot Yun Che a glance to remind the latter not to slip. They never told Cheng that he was a zombie, and Cheng never asked why he ate differently from everyone else. He still thought he was a human, and he seemed happy every day. Leng Yehan wanted him to stay that way.
"Well, we were just saying that you were scary good. See? They're all afraid of you. But don't play with them."
Even if Leng Yehan had not warned him, Yun Che wouldn't have said anything. He wanted his brother to see himself as a living person more than anyone else.
"I'll never play with them. They're smelly and dirty. It's disgusting."
Yun Cheng pouted with repulsion. When the members of Peak Squad returned from a mission, they always cleaned up themselves in the truck before entering the house. Except for Chenchen, who would occasionally get dirty, all the people Yun Cheng saw were clean and refreshing. As for the house, Yun Yao and Wang Suhua made sure it was clean and tidy every day. This was the first time Yun Cheng had seen the dirty zombies, and his obsession with cleanliness was torturing him.
"Haha… Right, you'll never let these dirty creatures near you."
At the thought of his obsession with cleanliness, Yun Che couldn't help but chuckle. Initially, Yun Che didn't expect that cutting his nails and cleaning his body frequently would make him become a zombie with an obsession with cleanliness. If others found out about this, they would find it hilarious. Having obsession with cleanliness in Doomsday was weird for anyone, not to mention that he was a zombie.
"Che, can we get out of here right now? I hate this place."
Yun Cheng urged his brother to leave in a childish tone as he could not stand this place for another minute.
"No problem. Let's go."
Yun Che patted Heiyu and instructed him to get going. Without stalling, Heiyu ran towards the mountain not far away. On the way, Yun Cheng kept yelling at the zombies to make them stay out of their way, which saved the team a lot of time. When the people standing behind the protective net saw the zombies made way for them before they even got close, those people were stunned. Needless to say, rumors describing Yun Che and Xing Feng as legends would spread in the base once again very soon.
