So Long, Coastal Base

No one in Peak should be underestimated. Captain Yun was seriously shocked. But since Yun Che had taken a hit, he needed to take it out on someone else. After dinner, Yun Che vented on Tan Weiye. After telling him that they would leave tomorrow morning, Yun Che kicked him into the Jade Spring in Space and didn't let him out until the next morning.

"Are you sure you aren't the son of God?"

This was the first thing that Tan Weiye said when he got out because Yun Che's Space was just awesome. The more awesome part was, after a bath in the Jade Spring, his second superfunction attribute was awoken. Tan Weiye only had gold superfunction previously, now he had become a gold/wood superfunction possessor.

"Well, I was sure of it, but after being mocked by you lot so many times, even I have grown doubts. How about you ask God himself for me when you're in Heaven and then tell me in my dreams?"

"Screw you!"

"Hehe."

Tan Weiye gave Yun Che a push after receiving the tease. Xing Feng held Yun Che in his arms and took a look at him. "You should be grateful, you know, Haoling wants his second superfunction attribute, but he never gets one. You got one for free!"

"Well, that's true!"

Tan Weiye couldn't argue that point. He put his smiles away and asked with a serious look on the face, "Are you leaving today?"

"Correct. We've been out for nearly 20 days, my sister asked me through QQ when we'll go home. We'll go straight back to the southwest after we get what we need in Hanghai. If there's anything that you can't deal with here in the Coastal Base, you just give us a call."

Yun Che put the playful look away as well and nodded. When the three of them went downstairs, everybody was in the dining room having breakfast. Tan Weiye joined them without being invited. He stroked Chenchen's head lovingly when seeing the boy enthusiastically sucking the milk in his bottle. He had never been a sentimental person but he did feel somewhat sad about having to bid farewell to the two brothers and the cute nephew that he just got.

"You be careful on the way. When the base is all settled, I'll take grandpa to visit you. Keep in touch."

Tan Weiye spoke to Yun Che in a gentle tone of voice when they enjoyed Yun Yao's cooking, but when he turned to Xing Feng, his tone was all rude and authoritative. "And you, you share the antidote with us once you got the sample, don't be selfish like people in the army."

"You're pretty self-aware."

Xing Feng gracefully ate a spoon of vegetable porridge and slowly replied. Tan Weiye was irritated but he sucked it up seeing the guys were leaving. After they took nearly half an hour to finish breakfast, they drove to say goodbye to Admiral Tan. Upon hearing that they were leaving, the old admiral looked at Yun Che and Yun Cheng while holding Chenchen lovingly.

"Well, I won't force you to stay. Remember, come to see me with Yao when you have time. Just tell me and Weiye if you need anything. Seriously, anything."

But Tan Jianting was sensible after all. After a heavy sigh, he didn't say anything more to try to change their mind. Everything was in constant change in the doomsday. The situation in the southwest was complicated, they should go back after being away for so long. But the old man tightened his hug as he felt so terrible that his little great grandson would be gone. He wondered when he could see him again.

"Sure. We'll come to visit you if we find time. Grandpa, ask your superfunction possessors to store these fruits and rice and flour, these are for you. If you run out of them, just ask Weiye to give us a call, I'll figure out a way to send you more. You take care of yourself, let Weiye take more responsibilities, you should stay away from the front line."

Xing Feng and Yun Che made eye contact. Xing Feng took Chenchen over, the latter took a lot of fruits, vegetables, rice and flour out of Space.

"I know."

The old admiral himself was a superfunction possessor as well, he knew that those fruits contained power. But he didn't ask and acted like he didn't know. Being old had one advantage, you could act like an old fool if you wanted to. The young should take over the world, just let them do whatever the hell they liked.

"Weiye, those two bottles of water are for you. Remember, one bottle, one life. And the water must be drunk before the zombification or else there would be bad consequences."

Yun Che gave two bottles of water to Tan Weiye after thinking about it. If there were any accidents, the water would save them from the zombification.

"OK. I'll walk you out."

Tan Weiye was downcast when he took the bottles. Yun Che nodded and took Chenchen over. "Chenchen, say goodbye to great grandpa."

"Goodbye, great grandpa. Please listen to Big Uncle and be good at home. I'll come visit you with Uncle Che and Uncle Cheng."

Although they were going to leave, Chenchen wasn't emotional, his words were still cute and sweet. The old man held his chubby hand. "OK, great grandpa will listen to anything that you say, but you need to listen to your mom and uncles, OK? Try not to follow your crazy uncle to fight the bad guys."

The old man gave Yun Che a glare as he spoke. Although he rationally understood Yun Che's way of education, he emotionally couldn't.

"No, I fight bad guys with my uncle. I'm tiny Ultraman!"

However, Chenchen refused. The little boy was staunch about two things, one, he wasn't fact, two, he would become an Ultraman just like Uncle Che.

"Look what you have done with the kid."

After the brief silence, the old man gave Yun Che another mild glare. He actually loved to see the younger generation being enterprising and he would have praised Chenchen for what he said hadn't the boy been so young. Old guys who had a military background all loved ballsy kids because only kids like that could grow into someone who could command the soldiers. Admiral Tan once had high hopes for Xing Feng and his boys and created the best growing environment for them at all costs.

"Hehe, this is good, isn't it? Chenchen is committed to saving mankind, you should be proud of him."

Yun Che gave off a naughty wink after saying this. Ultraman was meant to save human race, right? Although he knew the Ultraman brought up by them wouldn't be that ambitious.

"Shoo! Just go! I'll be sick if you keep upsetting me."

Admiral Tan waved Yun Che off to express his disapproval. It was about time, Yun Che gave Leng Yehan a look. Yun Cheng was pushed forward and bowed, "Grandpa, we're off."

"OK, good boy, Cheng, you listen to your brother and sister, got it?"

Tan Jianting felt so sorry for the zombie kid. He was such a good boy, how the hell did he become a zombie? Fortunately, his humanity remained, maybe the laboratory might work out a way to turn him back to human someday. No one could predict the future, as long as there was hope, they couldn't give up.

"Got it."

Yun Cheng nodded and stepped back. He didn't enjoy speaking to people that he wasn't familiar with. Even among Chaoyang and Peak people, he was only close to Leng Yehan, Yun Che and Chenchen. He wasn't even that close to Yun Yao.

"All right, grandpa, we're off, then."

Yun Che picked Chenchen up and was ready to leave. Xing Feng and other Chaoyang people stood at attention and saluted Amiral Tan. The old man watched them in tears, then turned around and waved them off. What they didn't know was, the old man was watching their reflection in the window. He didn't walk away even after their vehicle disappeared into the distance. Sadness was written all over his face.

Outside the Coastal Base.

"Are you seriously leaving? You haven't had fun here."

"Yeah, how about the match you promised us? What's wrong with staying a few days longer?"

"What? You don't want us to leave? If we do stay, you'll be nobody in the Coastal base."

"Screw you! I was just being polite. Just scurry away, then, as quickly as possible."

"Haha!"

Tan Weiye's subordinates came over once they heard Chaoyang and Peak people were leaving. These dudes had been truculent because they were young. After Chu Haoling challenged them, the topic changed. Everybody saw them off in joy and laughter.

"Captain Xing!"

"Captain Yun!"

Right before the vehicle set off, a large number of superfunction possessors rushed out of the base, calling their titles. Their faces were full of excitement and sadness. These superfunction possessors fought side by side with them, as soon as they heard they were leaving, they rushed here from the Superfunction Association and luckily, they made it.

"So long, everybody, but we'll come back if we can."

Yun Che had never experienced being seen off by so many people in both his previous and current lives. A sincere smile bloomed on his face. Xing Feng secretly held his hand. They both waved goodbye to all those superfunction possessors.

"Goodbye, Captain Xing, Captain Yun!"

"Safe journey!"

"Please come back again if you can…"

The engines started, the vehicle slowly left the base. The superfunction possessors followed the vehicle, all men and women were emotional but not Tan Weiye and his boys. They just stood still and saw the vehicle drive away. The vehicle disappeared into the distance after it drove through the newly built second wall.

"Chief, you got two awesome brothers."

Miao Xinbai said to Tan Weiye when they couldn't see the vehicle anymore. If it weren't for Yun Che and his pals, the Coastal Base would have submerged in the sea of zombies. Captain Xing was the luckiest bastard. He was still doing pretty well after leaving the army for so long and he had got such an awesome boyfriend, who would make anyone envious.

"Duh, they are my brothers, of course they are awesome."

Tan Weiye said it proudly and assertively. Miao Xinbai and others sniggered. "Who was bullied by the brother and the brother-in-law again?"

"We're on our own from now on. After the second wall is complete, send more soldiers and superfunction possessors to clear up more zombies out there, the third and fourth need to be built as soon as possible. We can't afford to be under zombie siege again. Also, urge the lab's study on the mutation of marine creatures and build the back wall thicker and higher. Thirdly, get more people to collect supplies while the level of the zombies isn't that high. Che said the zombies will be leveling up faster than us, so we mustn't relax. We must race with the zombies. Last but not the least, ask wood superfunction possessors to plant these Vines that Che left for us under the walls…"

Tan Weiye gave his instructions on their way back to the base. They didn't have time to be sentimental, the Coastal Base must be bigger and stronger the soonest possible because this was how they could help his brother if they were needed.
