The heavy snow continued for three days like what Yun Che said, and it seemed as though the whole world was covered with snow after that. The condition inside the base wasn't that bad as officials would get people to shovel off the snow every day. However, the snow outside the base was at least twenty centimeters, and no one could get out. Needless to say, zombies also couldn't get in, and the base was like an island isolated by snow.
Yun Che disappeared for two days, coming out of the Space only on the third morning, and…that was all. Chief Xing, who was waiting in the room, made him fully understand the consequences of abstinence. As a result, it was already the fourth morning of his disappearance when the guys from Peak Squad saw him again.
"Tsk tsk…just one look at Che and I know he has overindulged."
In the living room, Zhou Zeyu mumbled and put one hand on Meng Gang's shoulder when he saw Yun Che coming downstairs. His eyes were filled with sympathy thinking that Che had eventually been defeated by Captain Xing in bed, and that it would be difficult for him to turn things around.
"Stay away from me if you wanna die, can't you see that Che isn't in a good mood?"
After hearing what he said, Meng Gang slapped his hand away and moved away from him, having no wish to offend Che.
"Erm…"
Zhou Zeyu was rendered speechless, and his mouth twitched. Although Ye Xingchen and the rest acted as though they didn't see anything, all of them were sniggering.
"Uncle!"
Chenchen didn't understand what the adults had on their mind. Having not seen his uncle for three days, he slid off the sofa and ran over to hug his legs. Yun Che reached out to stroke his head, "You're so happy to see me?"
As he spoke, he gave Zhou Zeyu a cold stare despite the smile on his face, and the latter was so scared that he immediately sat upright like a stiff statue, crying inside that Che was a big bully.
"Yeah, where did you go, Uncle?"
Chenchen nodded and looked at him with a pout. He had wanted to ask for his uncle's permission to go into the Space to look Uncle Heiyu up, but he disappeared after Uncle Xing carried him upstairs. He had been unhappy for a few days because of this.
"Haha…you wanna play with Heiyu?"
Everything he wanted to say was clearly written on his face, and Yun Che could tell at a glance. His Space was probably a huge farm and zoo to Chenchen?
"Yeah."
Chenchen nodded happily, forgetting about his earlier grievances. Yun Che smiled at him dotingly, "Alright then, bring Xiaobai along."
"Okay."
The happy Chenchen ran back to carry Xiaobai over. Yun Che waved his hand gently, and the little guy disappeared into thin air. Seeing this, the guys from Peak Squad widened their eyes and opened their mouths in shock. Although they had guessed that Yun Che's Space was different in the sense that it could be used for growing and breeding things, they didn't know that humans could go in—how unbelievable!
Yun Che was indeed a big freak!
This was the conclusion that everyone came to, for they couldn't think of any other word to describe him.
"Is it really that strange? You guys can also go in soon."
After taking a glance at them, Yun Che stood beside the sofa and asked them, "Where's Yehan and Cheng?"
Shouldn't Cheng be playing with his tablet in the living room at this time? Yehan would always be with him if he wasn't out on quests.
"Huh? Yehan took him out for a walk. Che, you mean we can't go in yet, and your Space could also advance in level?"
After collecting his thoughts, Ye Xingchen casually answered his question, for what they cared about was his Space. How could they not be curious when humans could go inside?
"You can say that. Only Chenchen and I can go in at the moment. Cheng should also be able to, but I have yet to try that. Is my sister in the kitchen? I feel like vomiting after eating only fast food for the last few days."
Yun Che didn't bother explaining to them in detail since they would all be going in one day. He went into the kitchen and saw Yun Yao stewing meat for the Wolf King and the gang. The aroma made Yun Che hungry. He quickly went over and hugged his sister, acting like a spoiled child, "Sis, I'm famished."
He seemed to never grow up in front of his sister, behaving just like the ten-year-old boy who had just lost his parents. Yun Yao also enjoyed having her younger brother rely on her, but she chided him the moment she turned her head, "Serve you right for doing a disappearing act!"
"Sis, are you really my sister?"
Yun Che acted like he was hurt, and Yun Yao chided him with a smile with a spoon in her hand, "Alright, that's enough. Xing said that you will come over today, and I've left food for you on the table. Heat it up yourself in the microwave."
"That's better. Sis, gimme a drumstick that you prepared for Wolf King and the gang."
Before going out, the satisfied Yun Che pointed at the big pot of stewed meat that was about to be ready.
"Alright."
Although the stewed meat was for the Wolf King and the gang, Yun Yao always prepared it according to human standards. Therefore, Yun Che could have it if he wanted to, and Chu Haoling often sneaked into the kitchen to eat it when no one was looking. Chu Haoling also seemed to have put on weight ever since the Wolf King and the gang became fussy eaters, and he would probably grow to become like Chenchen in less than two years if this were to continue.
The terrible snow finally stopped. Just when the three armies and the government thought they could finally relax, Xing Feng personally went to them together with Gu Mingxuan for one thing—the research institute! He went straight to the point without saying any pleasantries, and the leaders of the three armies and the government had no choice but to vote again. To their surprise, Wei Kan betrayed the organization and voted for Xing Feng this time, resulting in two armies against one army and the government.
To make matters worse, Xing Feng even brought the transfer contract, looking like he was going to settle it on the spot. Mo Wenyang was the most forthright, signing his name and stamping Mo Army's official seal without even reading the content of the contract. When it was Wang Wei and Wan Guoqiang's turn, the two of them gritted their teeth and cast a glare at Wei Kan before signing and stamping their seals.
"Alright, the research institute is now mine. I will arrange for them to move into Chaoyang Community as soon as possible."
The contract was executed in five copies, and each one of them held a copy in their hands. Not wanting to hold them up any further, Xing Feng kept his copy and left with Gu Mingxuan. Mo Wenyang, who was the only one smiling, shook his head and planned to make a trip home. As he had been out these days, his parents had been busy handling the things in the military headquarters.
About an hour later, Xing Feng had returned home with the contract for less than ten minutes when the space superfunction possessors from Wei Army came over to get their stuff. Xing Feng and Yun Che exchanged glances before walking out. Wei Kan didn't come in persona this time, and the one who came was the deputy they had seen that day. Yun Che thought Wei Kan was probably cursing them back at the military headquarters.
"Chief Xing, Captain Yun."
The deputy, who held the rank of major general, took the initiative to greet them. He had a courteous smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with resentment upon closer look. The guys from Wei Army were probably going to hate them for some time, but they deserved it for tricking them.
"Those are all space superfunction possessors?"
Yun Che briefly nodded before looking behind him—there were actually ten space superfunction possessors. It seemed like Wei Kan was really rich to be able to send over ten superfunction possessors at one go. Yun Che thought he would have to trick him a few more times, or he would be letting himself down.
"Yes, please honor your word, Captain Yun."
The deputy reminded Yun Che rigidly without realizing what the latter had on his mind. He would probably fight it out with Yun Che if knew what he was thinking.
"Sure."
Right after he said that, the three-meter-wide road was immediately filled with goods, stretching for at least twenty to thirty meters. There were all kinds of stuff, with the boxes of sealed salt being the most conspicuous. Seeing them, the deputy was one hundred percent sure that they were the batch from the salt mine, but they had no evidence to prove that. Even if Yun Che deliberately took out the same stuff, they could only keep quiet and swallow the insult.
"Did you give them too much?"
The ten space superfunction possessors were all filled to their maximum capacities. Seeing their vehicles leaving, Xing Feng couldn't help but wonder why Yun Che didn't keep anything for himself this time since he had kept one-third of the seeds previously.
"It's fine. Wei isn't having an easy time, so let's just give in a little."
Yun Che raised his eyebrows and acted as though he was on the losing end when he was in fact laughing inside. Was that even considered a lot? Those two batches of supplies were much more than they had imagined, and he had kept half of the salt. The containers at the pier were innumerous, and most of them were fully-loaded. What he had given them was merely one tenth of the total.
"Come on, tell me honestly, how much did you keep?"
Xing Feng knew him too well.
Immediately guessing that he must have kept a huge amount of the supplies again, Xing Feng put his hand around his neck and leaned against him. Yun Che turned his head slightly and laughed evilly, "Not much. They have taken away a small fraction."
"Haha…you're horrible!"
Xing Feng burst out laughing after hearing what he said. Did Wei get tricked again? He would be furious if he found out about this.
"Haha… I can't possibly make two trips for nothing?"
Yun Che sniggered before going into the house. Xing Feng straightened up and held his hand, "Why is your hand so cold?"
Xing Feng frowned the moment he touched Yun Che's cold hand. After casting a glance at the latter unhappily, he took out a loose down jacket and put it over him. He then blew on Yun Che's hand to warm it before covering it and putting it in his own coat pocket.
Yun Che didn't struggle at all and simply looked at him with a smile, thinking to himself that Xing Feng was really wonderful. After Xing Feng was done, Yun Che leaned on him and said, "My hand just feels cold to the touch, but I don't feel cold. I'm much fitter than you think."
Similarly, he wouldn't feel hot either, even if he was sweating all over, and this was probably because the spring water had transformed his body. He wasn't bothered about it as long as he felt comfortable.
"You still gotta put on more clothes even if you don't feel cold. I don't feel good touching your hands when they are cold."
That was a powerful reason that Yun Che couldn't refute. After the two of them returned to the house, Yun Che announced their decision to go on a long trip, giving Heiyu as the reason for it. Yun Yao, Wang Suhua and a few elders looked worried as the place they were going to was really far away. The others had no objection as they were already used to listening to Yun Che, and they would just go together after he made the arrangements. However, everyone was shocked when Yun Che said that he would take Yun Cheng along this time. Both Leng Yehan and Yun Cheng stared at him in disbelief, wondering if they had heard him wrong.
