Yun Cheng’s Gone Astray

"Bang…"

"Damn it, level-4 zombies are f***ing difficult to deal with, I'm drained."

"Che, can you talk to Cheng? We're gonna run out of energy and die of exhaustion if we go on like this."

"Heiyu, why haven't you transformed yourself? Aren't you embarrassed staying as a puppy? I'm exhausted…"

"I beg of you, Che. Show us your ability to fool others, we really can't go on…"

The group groaned as they stood among millions of zombies, almost kneeling down and begging the Yun brothers. So what happened? Well, Yun Cheng had learned how to trick others and purposely brought them to places with more level-4 zombies. He had happily gotten many level-4 crystal nuclei while their superfunction energies were almost depleted. To make things worse, a shameless dog acted proud and simply refused to help. After knocking down another two level-4 zombies, everyone finally couldn't take it anymore—Yun Cheng was really brutal!

"Hanhan, over here…look at all the level-4 crystal nuclei!"

Seeming as though he didn't hear their groans, Yun Cheng took Leng Yehan's hand excitedly and wanted to run to the other side. Fortunately, Leng Yehan who was also tired finally stopped running together with him.

"Cheng…"

Yun Che, whom everyone pinned their hopes on, also felt helpless. His younger brother looked like he was going to wipe out the level-4 zombies here. He, minimally a level-7 super zombie didn't feel anything, but the rest really couldn't hold out much longer. Level-4 zombies really weren't that easy to deal with.

"Yes, Brother?"

Yun Cheng turned and ran back while carrying Chenchen in his right arm, leaving Leng Yehan behind. Xing Feng was the one carrying Chenchen at first, but he handed Chenchen to Yun Cheng when he had to battle, thinking that Yun Cheng could easily kill level-4 zombies with one hand and also wouldn't get himself dirty given his obsession with cleanliness.

"Uncle, Uncle Cheng is amazing, he's Ultraman #2!"

Chenchen was so excited that he gave him two thumbs up. Uncle Cheng had merely pointed at a bad guy just now, and the bad guy exploded. He was even more powerful than Uncle Che!

"Yes, yes, your Uncle Cheng is amazing."

Not knowing what to do with the two of them, Yun Che took Chenchen's hand and said to Yun Cheng, "Cheng, let's call it a day. You've already gotten many level-4 crystal nuclei and the sky is getting dark. Let's continue tomorrow?"

They actually hadn't fought for long, and it was only half past five, but they simply couldn't keep up with the fast pace—they had collected dozens of level-4 crystal nuclei in just half an hour. Even Yun Che felt that his superfunction energy was depleting, not to mention Xingchen and the other guys.

"Oh…okay."

After keeping silent for a while, Yun Cheng looked at them one by one and at the panting Leng Yehan before finally nodding gloomily. Hearing that they could finally rest, everyone almost jumped up and cheered.

"Come on, it's not as if we're not helping you collect crystal nuclei anymore. We'll be staying at the coastal base for some time. Do you have to worry about having not enough level-4 crystal nuclei when there are so many zombies outside? Be good, that's enough for today."

Seeing his younger brother looking reluctant and upset, Yun Che reached to pat him on the back. He could roughly understand that even though Cheng didn't realize it himself, he had actually been subconsciously trying hard to achieve a balance inside and out, which was why it was difficult for him to control his desire for high-level crystal nuclei.

"Ok."

Yun Cheng finally cheered up, and a pure and innocent smile appeared on his face again. Yun Che shook his head, his eyes full of love for his younger brother, "Alright, continue to lead the way. Go to where there are human beings."

Now that Yun Cheng was happy, the group continued to move forward without being led around. Yun Che took out diluted spring water for them to replenish their energy as they walked. Zombies would make way when they sensed Yun Cheng's presence from a distance. After recovering slightly, everyone increased their speed again, and they were so fast that only their afterimages could be seen shuttling among the zombies.

"Bang bang…"

"Roarrr…"

"Ahhh…help…"

"Ahhhh…"

About ten minutes later, they suddenly heard a fierce battle going on in front and caught a glimpse of various superfunction energies emitting brilliant colors. Yun Che motioned to Yun Cheng to slow down a little. When they got closer, they could see long-range superfunction possessors on the walls of the coastal base striking down with their superfunction energies, and the zombies below were also doing the same thing as they charged forward. The superfunction possessors right in front of the base were fearlessly fighting waves of approaching zombies. There were many level-4 superfunction possessors amongst them judging from the superfunction energies they released.

"Damn, don't tell me level-5 zombies already exist?"

Tan Weiye, who was leading the soldiers and superfunction possessors in the battle on the city walls, also spotted Yun Che and the gang, but they were approaching from a distance while Tan Weiye and his men were standing on the city walls. Moreover, because Yun Che and the gang were among the zombies, they were being mistaken as a group of higher-level zombies instead of human beings. Tan Weiye's face turned grim, and the situation on the city walls turned chaotic, as evidenced by the loss in accuracy of the soldiers' superfunctions.

"Hmm, something's not quite right, Chief. Look, why did the zombies stop?"

The major beside him shouted, and everyone turned around. When they saw that the zombies had not only stopped attacking but even made way as if they were greeting the emperor, they opened their mouths in shock. Were they seeing things? How was this possible?

"Geez, why is this rascal here? He's still the same, putting on airs and attracting attention wherever he goes."

After a while, Tan Weiye said in disgust, holding his forehand. However, anyone could see that he had a look of relief on his face. When the major general beside him also saw who the person walking in front was, he said with a smile, "I was wondering who it was causing such a stir, so it's Chief Xing. Isn't he at the Southwest Base? Why did he come all the way here?"

"Beats me. Maybe he's here to laugh at my plight."

Feigning annoyance and casting a glance at him, Tan Weiye jumped off the tower and walked up to him, stepping on the debris on the ground. The major general and a few colonels who followed were amused by their leader's pretense. Why did he have to put on a look of disgust when he was obviously happy? However…all of them felt warm inside when they turned to look at Xing Feng. Even the capital base had clearly told them that they couldn't send reinforcements, but Xing Feng actually brought people here. Regardless whether the dozen people he brought would be of any help, they had at least warmed their hearts.

The battle had already stopped. Because of Yun Cheng's presence, not only did the zombies not dare to attack, they even retreated in fear even though they were still reluctant to leave. The soldiers and superfunction possessors from the coastal base had stopped their attacks when they saw that their base commander had gone down, and tens of thousands of eyes were now staring at them.

"Why the hell are you here? Shouldn't you be at the Southwest Base?"

Standing at a distance of two meters from the zombies, Tan Weiye put his hands on the belt around his waist. His sharp and angular face was full of smiles as he looked straight at Xing Feng with his sharp eyes. Seeing Yun Cheng carrying Chenchen in his arm, his mouth twitched. What the f***, they even brought a kid here. Were they here to help or to take the kid out for a walk?

"I'm here to see if you're dead. What a pity, even millions of zombies didn't manage to kill you!"

Yun Che and the gang continued walking forward after walking out of the pool of zombies, and Xing Feng was also smiling at his old friend-cum-opponent whom he hadn't met for years.

"Screw you!"

After giving him a punch on the chest, Tan Weiye opened his arms and hugged him, and the two patted each other on the back. Tan Weiye was happy to see anyone coming here during this time, not to mention it was Xing Feng—someone he couldn't win but yet made him constantly improve himself. Seeing the familiar faces behind him, Tan Weiye had to admit that he was really very touched.

"Geez, so all of you are still alive. What a waste of our efforts, we thought we had to bury your bodies."

"Well, villains never die. Everyone else could die, but not them!"

"Hey, can you behave like guests? How can you curse the hosts like this?"

"Exactly. Others would think that we've been attacked by enemies."

When the two groups met, they started roasting each other like what their leaders did, but everyone had a happy smile on their faces upon closer look. Chu Haoling and the other guys were also happy to see their former opponents-cum-friends, and the same went for Tan Weiye's subordinates, who also felt touched at the same time. Although they could understand the rationale for the capital base's way of doing things, they couldn't accept it emotionally. This was especially so when the nearby bases could have come over to help them, but they didn't even send a single soldier over. Although being attacked by millions of zombies had given them the fear of uncertainty, they were more saddened by the selfishness of their compatriots.

"Bang!"

The guys from Peak Squad didn't disturb the old friends' reunion. Seeing that there were many level-4 zombies around, the bored Yun Cheng threw out a ball of light. The head of one of the zombies burst open, and a bright red crystal nucleus flew out. Yun Che displayed his air superfunction to catch the crystal nucleus before returning to where they were. Meng Gang shot a stream of water just in time to wash it, and the crystal nucleus was already clean when it fell into Yun Cheng's hands.

They displayed such good teamwork that the people on the tower were left dumbfounded, especially when Yun Cheng blasted the level-4 zombie effortlessly. Tan Weiye's eyes darkened when he saw that, and he asked while pointing to Yun Cheng, "Who is this?"

What a powerful young man. He looked less than twenty years old, but he actually blasted a level-4 zombie in one blow. Was the other young man who looked like him a wind superfunction possessor? He didn't look like one, but he had great accuracy in controlling his superfunction energy, and he was already at level-4. How did Xing Feng discover this pair of treasures?

"He's sort of a younger brother of mine, and this is my wife Yun Che."

Looking at where his finger was pointing, Xing Feng held Yun Che's hand and interlocked fingers with him.

"Geez, you're married? How did you get yourself such a good-looking wife? Tell me honestly, what trick did you use?"

"Pfftt…"

"Haha…"

Tan Weiye suddenly yelled after being stunned for a moment, and Yun Che couldn't help but let out a laugh. With Yun Che taking the lead, the others also couldn't control themselves and burst out laughing. Eventually, even the guys behind Tan Weiye joined in the laughter. Yun Che and the gang didn't expect the man who was supposedly Xing Feng's greatest opponent to actually be so amusing. Xing Feng's face was twitching uncontrollably, and he wished he could give the rascal in front of him two tight slaps.
