Collect the Machines, Take Everything Away!

The joint venture energy bar manufacturing factory that Yun Che found was located in the suburbs of Hanghai City, which was less than one hundred miles away from Linhai City. After they left the Coastal Base, Yun Che found an empty space and sent everybody into Space. He and Xing Feng flew straight toward Hanghai City on the Eagle King's back. The Eagle Queen was in charge of cleaning the airline.

They met a number of flying zombie birds but they weren't in a flock. The two of them could handle the zombie birds rather easily with the help of two eagles.

"This should be it, right?"

Yun Che took a look at the pad in his hand on the Eagle King, then at the large industrial park down there. He had downloaded the map in the Coastal Base but because of the lack of Wi-fi, he couldn't pinpoint the energy bar factory and the map didn't mark the name of every factory for them.

"Right, this should be it."

Xing Feng took the pad over and double-checked it. "It isn't even a small one. Energy bars can last for 6 months before they go bad, right? So we just collect the machines?"

There should be plenty of stock in the factory and many ingredients, maybe they hadn't expired yet.

"What are you talking about? Just the machines?"

Yun Che gave Xing Feng a glance. "Does he take me for a fool? It's the doomsday. What? Are we gonna leave the stuff to someone else?" It was mid July, the doomsday had lasted for four and a half month, most of the snacks were going to expire sooner or later. If Yun Che didn't take them, they would be squandered, so why wouldn't they take everything?

"Hehe, got it. Let's land."

Knowing that Yun Che would say so, Xing Feng patted the Eagle King on the neck and then kissed Yun Che on the face. The factory was large and there were many zombies. The Eagle King took a dive, Yun Che cast the air membrane to wrap them up. They didn't draw any of the zombies' attention.

"The two of us take our time collecting the equipment or we let everybody out?"

After taking a look around the large factory, Yun Che jumped off the eagle and asked. The air panel showed quite a number of orangered dots, which meant there were quite a lot of level-4 zombies. Like he said, after the snow, many zombies had leveled up, most of the zombies were level 3 or 4. No one would come to these factories in the doomsday so there weren't no new zombies, hence, not many level 1 or 2 zombies.

"Are you sure more people will make things quicker?"

Yes, normally, the more, the faster, he wasn't against that but if everybody was out, they would have to split up. Without the air membrane, the zombies would notice them soon. Fighting while collecting wouldn't necessarily be faster than the two of them doing the job.

"Let's keep it as a two-man job then."

Yun Che's Space was big enough to store the entire Hanghai City.

Now that the decision had been made, Yun Che sent the eagles into Space altogether. He took out an electric scooter, the two of them drove into the industrial park. Inside the air membrane, they weren't noticed by any zombies. They started from the outside and threw all the equipment and ingredients into Space.

Thump!

The head of a zombie was chopped open by a dark blade, an egg-sized crystal nucleus popped out. It was something supernatural, it was Yun Che being mischievous. When collecting stuff, he would grab all the crystal nuclei of level-4 zombies. Yun Che was supposed to feed both Heiyu and his brother.

"How many machines have we got?"

They didn't even count along the way. Yun Che tried to recall after Xing Feng asked. He replied, "More than a dozen already. Uh, we won't go deeper into the factory. Let's check the warehouses."

More than a dozen machines! With enough ingredients, Heiyu would be surfeited.

"Sure."

After getting out of the factory, Xing Feng rode the scooter around the plant. The warehouses were located on both sides and the back. Boxes and boxes of energy bars were stocked in the warehouses on both sides. Those were supposed to be delivered and distributed to malls and supermarkets before the doomsday. It was Yun Che's lucky day, he put all the boxes into Space with a wave of hand.

"Shit, the stuff here can feed a small-scale base for nearly a month, right?"

All kinds of ingredients were stored in the warehouses on the back of the area. Even Yun Che was surprised at the numbers. A plant surely was different from a small workshop. These ingredients were mostly imported and well-packed, which meant they could last longer, which meant they could all go into Yun Che's Space.

"Take them all, they'll be squandered if we don't anyway. I don't think the superfunction possessors from the Coastal Base will come to Hanghai to collect supplies in a short time."

Yun Che was brazen, so was Xing Feng. They decided to empty all the warehouses in this plant. The pillage took them two hours even though they got an electric scooter. They decided to visit all the food processing plants nearby. As long as the food wasn't spoiled or expired, they would take it.

"It's getting dark. We probably can't go back."

It was the first time they felt they had taken too much stuff, they didn't even want to visit the rest of the plants. Yun Che didn't summon the eagles, Xing Feng was still the driver, Yun Che was the passenger, the scooter moved across the zombie herd. Yun Che would sneak attack level-4 zombies or zombie beats and took the crystal nuclei along the way.

"OK. Let's find a place for the night?"

The two of them had never been on a quest on their own, Xing Feng didn't rush Yun Che. If the scooter ran out of electricity, they just rode another one. They got nothing else but sufficient supplies.

"Yeah, whatever. We'll sleep in my Space anyway. I wonder how the construction is going."

Yun Che put his chin on Xing Feng's shoulder when he wrapped his arms around his waist from behind. He had been thinking about building houses in his Space but he was neither an earth nor a gold nor a wood superfunction possessor, house-building would be too difficult for him. But now that everybody could go into his Space, the earth and gold and wood superfunction possessors on both squads could get the construction going. Yun Che had arranged an area for them to build houses.

"They will organize a protest against your oppression."

Xing Feng chuckled when he thought of the guys' faces the moment they heard Yun Che ask them to build houses.

"Their protest never stops."

"Hehe."

They looked and smiled at one another. Chaoyang and Peak people had openly complained about Yun Che's decision multiple times and Yun Che had basically gotten used to it. If someday, their protest ceased, Yun Che might feel strange instead.

"It must have been so hard for you to get in here, huh?"

The two strollers didn't go into Space until it was completely dark and they received a taunt as expected. Yun Che, however, didn't talk back when he saw those half-built houses in his Space. "Have you eaten dinner?"

"Dinner? I got lost in your frigging Space several times. If we haven't eaten the fruits that Chu, Xu and Chenchen got, we would have starved to death."

Right after he said it, Zhou Zeyu was worked up. Yun Che's Space seemed boundless. There was no covering, but everything looked pretty much the same. He would get disoriented every time he tried to collect the woods in the forest, surely he wouldn't be able to find the food that Yun Che stored in Space.

"What? Haha."

Yun Che laughed as he looked at them in astonishment. He didn't expect this to happen because he himself knew every corner of his Space, so he overlooked the downside of his vast Space.

"Can't believe you laugh at us!"

Chu Haoling was upset as well. Yes, fruits and vegetables could fill his belly but nothing could beat the staple food. To a glutton like him, the staple food was essential.

"Sorry, sorry."

Yun Che picked up Chenchen as he continued laughing. His apology showed zero sincerity. "Are you hungry, Chenchen?"

"No. My tummy is full."

Chenchen shook his head. To prove what he said, he rubbed his tummy. Chenchen kept his own food and they would prepare the milk for him before they went out. Even if Chenchen got no staple food, milk, fruits and snack would be enough to feed him. That was how easy a superfunction possessor's life was.

"Great!"

Yun Che waved his hand after petting Chenchen on the head, a long table showed up with all the food boxes on it. "All right, you guys, stop whining. I didn't mean to starve you. We'll head back to Southwest tomorrow, just tuck in."

"What took you so long anyway? A lot of level-4 zombies out there?"

The hungry crowd couldn't resist the hot food. Ye Xingchen asked the question when he opened the boxes and moved the food to plates. Others helped. The fruits were delicious but those weren't the staple food, which they needed for replenishment of energies after doing physical work all day in Space.

"No. Those were food processing factories nearby, I was thinking the food would expire anyway, so Xing Feng and I emptied all the plants."

Yun Che replied after sitting down with Chenchen in his arms. First, everybody paused, then they rolled their eyes. They thought Yun Che would do so, otherwise, he wouldn't be Yun Che.

"You must have looted a lot, right?"

Ye Xingchen started chatting with Yun Che after he sucked the crab meat that Jiang Shang put into his mouth.

"Well, I guess. We don't need that food but they're good to buy people over. We'll be focusing on the civilian sections when we're home."

Yun Che wasn't very hungry. Instead of getting himself a food box, he just ate whatever Xing Feng fed him. Yun Cheng munched on the crystal nuclei next to him. He threw the egg-sized crystal nuclei into his mouth happily like they were free. Luckily, Peak and Chaoyang were rich, otherwise, they would go broke. Yun Cheng consumed a lot of crystal nuclei.

"Civilian sections? Hehe, sure. You give the orders, I follow."

Ye Xingchen figured out what Yun Che wanted to do. He couldn't help but put on a smile. Others said nothing because they, too, would do whatever Xing Feng and Yun Che asked them to do.

Yun Che terminated the conversation with a smile. Xing Feng had to feed both Yun Che and Chenchen. Soon, one box was empty, he got another one. One bite after another, the three of them seemed like a happy family. Everybody rolled their eyes at them, especially the single ones, who were cursing silently inside.
