"Haha…" When the three adults and the little boy ran out of the hospital, they couldn't help but laugh.
Xing Feng told Tan Weiye to call over two Space superfunction possessors to carry the supplies from Wenyang. Tan Weiye said, as casually as he could, "How is Wenyang doing? I haven't heard from him ever since the doomsday started. I know the power struggle among the three armies in the southwest is intense. It must be tough for the Mo Army."
Although the military had restored some communication networks, both of them had been busy constructing bases and settling survivors ever since the doomsday started. No matter how much he missed Wenyang, they didn't have time to contact each other. Occasionally, he would hear some news about the southwest base from his grandfather after the latter talked to the capital base. The southwest had always been an important fortress since ancient times. After the new state was established, three group armies were stationed in the southwest, and they were now in control of that region. The three armies were equally matched, so the competition among them was tough.
"You don't need to be so subtle. I know you have feelings for Wenyang."
Holding Chenchen in his arms, Xing Feng said bluntly. They had been friends and rivals since childhood, so Xing Feng knew him pretty well. When they were kids, Tan Weiye always protected Wenyang. Whenever someone bullied Wenyang, he always stood up for Wenyang, as if he was the one being insulted. Everyone knew that Tan Weiye was into Wenyang, except for Wenyang himself, whose heart was occupied by Shaoting later. Tan Weiye just brought up Wenyang after so many years had passed, which suggested he still had feelings for the latter. It didn't surprise Xing Feng. After all, he and Tan Weiye were the same kind of people. When they loved someone, they loved long. Tan Weiye had been in love with Wenyang since childhood, which made it even harder to let go.
"How the hell did you know?"
Tan Weiye bounced a step away in surprise before he added, "So, how is he now?"
"Haha…"
Seeing Tan Weiye being shy about his relationship with Wenyang, Xing Feng and Yun Che exchanged glances and chuckled. "What do you think? As you said, the power struggle among the three armies in the southwest is intense. It's difficult to get the decision-making power. His father and mother want him to be the future leader of the Mo Army, so he basically needs to handle everything in their army. He's busy. I don't think he'll have time to contact you in the coming half a year. Well, you don't need to worry that he might fall in love with someone else. He hasn't moved on from Shaoting yet."
Xing Feng didn't want to hurt his feelings, but it was the truth. Neither of them was the kind of person that would evade reality.
"No matter how much he misses Shaoting, that man is already dead. I'll go visit him in the southwest when I have time."
Shaoting was like a spell that he and Mo Wenyang could not bypass. If the doomsday hadn't happened, he probably would resign to his fate and eventually settle with a random man or woman. But in the doomsday, no one could guarantee that they would live to see the sunrise tomorrow. Such being the case, why should he restrain himself from pursuing his love? Sooner or later, he would break that spell.
"Would you like me to take a message for you?"
Xing Feng raised his eyebrows and said. He knew Weiye was a man of action, but to move Wenyang wouldn't be easy. Both of them would be the base commanders someday, and the two bases were thousands of miles away from each other. Plus, the communication condition wasn't quite good nowadays. All of these factors made it harder for them to develop a romantic relationship.
"Ask you to take a message for me? I'm not out of my mind." Tan Weiye waved his hand to reject the "kind" offer, thinking that Xing Feng would only make things worse.
Something crossed Yun Che's mind, and he asked, "Can you access the internet?"
"Yes, but only from the military headquarters for the time being. Some of the infrastructures were damaged when the ocean beasts attacked us a few days ago. Why?"
With a mysterious smile, Yun Che took out a brand-new cell phone from his Space and gave it to Tan Weiye. "The phone is already installed with an app made by Wenqing. It's a chatting app like Tencent QQ. After you create your account, search Chaoyang and Peak Squad Group and apply to join us. I'll invite Wenyang into this group later. Well, you know what I mean."
"Haha… thanks, Brother!"
Tan Weiye took the phone excitedly. A cell phone was exactly what he needed right now. Although they had a satellite telephone in the base, it was for work purpose. His grandfather would not allow him to use that phone for personal affairs.
"What are brothers for?"
Tan Weiye had no idea that Yun Che was doing this to get back to Mo Wenyang. He still held a grudge against Wenyang for spreading the rumors that he was a "bossy wife".
"Major General!"
While they were chatting, Tan Weiye's Space superfunction possessors arrived. Xing Feng conjured out the supplies from his Space, which piled up at the gate of the hospital. "Some from Wenyang, and some from me. These are food, clothing, and some other daily necessities."
"Thank you," Tan Weiye said with a nod and told his Space superfunction possessors to pocket the stuff.
Yun Che asked those Space superfunction possessors, "How many more can you carry?"
The Space superfunction possessors exchanged glances with each other, and then turned to Tan Weiye simultaneously, waiting for his instruction. Knowing that Yun Che wanted to give them some more supplies, Tan Weiye waved his hand, saying, "Thanks, Che, but I think we already have enough. The coastal area has many factories and abundant resources. Once we get rid of the zombies outside, we'll go out to collect supplies. We've got plenty of seafood to feed ourselves. Rice and flour are in low stock, but we can get by without them."
He knew Peak Squad was a small but strong team, and they were probably quite loaded. But they were just a superfunction squad, after all. Unlike Xing Feng, who had long been prepared, all the supplies they had were collected after the doomsday. So, how many supplies could they possibly have?
"Rice and flour? I have plenty of them."
Yun Che waved his hand, and five containers appeared on the ground. Each container had a label saying what was inside. They were two containers of rice, two of flour, and one of beans, which were all imported from foreign countries. Tan Weiye was stunned, and so were his Space superfunction possessors. Xing Feng shook his head with a smile and touched Weiye with his elbow to remind the latter, "Tell them to pocket the stuff."
"Right. Uh-huh."
Tan Weiye broke out of the trance and instructed his soldiers to pocket the containers, which could barely fit into their Spaces. After they left, Tan Weiye asked Yun Che immediately, "How did you get so much food? And how big is your Space? I can't believe your Space can actually hold five large containers."
Every time he thought that he had seen enough, they just kept surprising him with something more astonishing. This was way beyond his imagination.
Yun Che chuckled and said, "I collected two batches of supplies that the Wei Army targeted. What can I say? They shouldn't have messed up with me. As for my Space, it's very large. To put it modestly – I have the largest superfunction Space in this world."
Yun Che was telling Weiye the truth about the containers, but he didn't be specific about his Space.
"If not modestly?"
The largest Space in the world and this was being modest? Tan Weiye finally understood why Xing Feng would fall in love with Yun Che. Well, they were the same kind.
Yun Che glanced at Weiye and said, as serious as he could, "I'd rather not scare you. You know, being modest is the tradition of Peak Squad. As the captain, I have to set a good example."
"…"
Seeing how shameless Yun Che was, Tan Weiye found that words had failed him at this moment. This was being modest? Maybe they needed a new definition of the word "modest".
"Did you learn vocabulary from your PE teacher?"
Tan Weiye rolled his eyes at Yun Che. This man didn't even understand the meaning of "modest". If his vocabulary teacher in primary school were still alive, the teacher might rush up and slap Yun Che in the face.
"Yeah. My vocabulary teacher and PE teacher were the same person. How did you know that?"
"Damn!" Tan Weiye roared at the sky.
Xing Feng couldn't stop laughing. These two brothers are really… What's the world, funny? Anyway, he looked forward to more in the future.
"Enough. If we continue this conversation, I think I'll die soon. Xinbai has arranged a place for you to stay. Would you like my people to escort you there?"
Tan Weiye surrendered to his shameless brother. When he tried to tell his guard to come over, Xing Feng whistled for his pets to come down. Seeing the two golden eagles land on the ground, Tan Weiye didn't insist. "Fly safe. Have a good sleep tonight. It's gonna be a hard day tomorrow."
"Goodbye."
While Tan Weiye got in the car and headed outside the base, Xing Feng and Yun Che got on the two eagles' backs. If their plan went as expected, they would annihilate more than a million zombies. However, to Yun Che's surprise, there was someone who strongly objected to his plan, and that person was Yun Cheng. His reason was simple – those people would take away his level-4 crystal nuclei.
"Don't be mad, Cheng. I guarantee that all the level-4 crystal nuclei will be yours."
When they returned to their temporary residence, their teammates were doing seafood barbecue on the terrace on the second floor. Yun Che ate an octopus and became satiate. He then announced his plan to everyone, but Yun Cheng strongly objected to it and even became angry. He turned his back on Yun Che, pouting and covering his ears with his hands. Yun Che tried his best to convince Yun Cheng, who was the key to the plan. Without his brother, they wouldn't be able to take out those zombies. Instead, they would probably wind up being taken out.
"No. You're lying to me again, brother."
Yun Cheng looked back at his brother and said, and then he looked ahead again, his hands still covering his ears. According to the rules, when a zombie was destroyed, its crystal nucleus would belong to whoever destroyed it. Yun Cheng never intended to take others' crystal nuclei, but he wouldn't allow anyone to take his, either. In his theory, all the level-4 zombies were his prey, and their crystal nuclei belonged to him. Yun Che had promised to help him collect those crystal nuclei before, but now, Yun Che wanted to help others take away his crystal nuclei. Brother was a liar!
"When did I ever lie to you?"
Yun Che suddenly realized that it was indeed difficult to raise a child. Fortunately, he and Xing Feng would never have a kid of their own.
Maybe because Yun Che had taunted others too often, nobody wanted to help him at this moment, not even Xing Feng. Instead, they all enjoyed watching this farce while having delicious food at the same time. Chu Haoling even secretly took out his cell phone and started filming. Later, he would send the video to their chatting group and share it with their friends in the southwest.
