Two Armies Feel Awful. Go Home!

"What? They're back?"

In the villa area, Wang Wei winced all of a sudden during the discussion with Wei Kan, who frowned as he had a hunch that what the soldier whispered to Wang Wei mustn't be good news. And soon, Wei had the answer because his man came in as well. Wei Kan felt awful when he heard that Xing Feng and Yun Che came back alive and well and that they went to the beach. "I thought they were gone for good." He thought.

"Who's back?"

Wang Guoan looked at those two in confusion. "Whose return can make them so… Could it be…"

"Who? You know who! Shit, those two are gonna make our lives miserable again."

Wang Wei swore after gave a sideways look at Wang Guoan. He confessed to Wei Kan that he sent invisibility superfunction possessors but he only sent them to Chaoyang Community, never Wang Army or Mo Army. Although he wouldn't 100% believe him, it could be possible that Chaoyang, Peak and Mo Army had put on a show.

Anyway, Wang Wei was certain that as long as Yun Che and Xing Feng were around, their lives would be miserable.

"It's been 20 days, they're supposed to come back."

Wang Guoan, however, was calm about it. Wei Kan thought for a second and asked, "They said they took a vacation near the sea?"

"Yes, commander, Zhou Zeyu of Peak said it."

The messenger stood at attention and replied loudly. Wei Kan made eye contact with Wang Wei as something struck both of them. They spoke out at the same time, "I heard the Coastal…"

"You first."

Wei Kan gesticulated, inviting Wang Wei to say first. Wang Wei went ahead, "Message from the Capital Base says that the crisis in the Coastal Base has been resolved half a month ago. If Xing Feng and Yun Che did have gone to the sea, they probably went to aid the Coastal Base. I know that Mo Wenyang gave them the military transport helicopter. Those guys are too powerful, I'm sure they could make it to the Coastal Base if they wanted. And the head of the Coastal Base used to Xing Feng's commander, so that's another reason for him to aid them."

The more Wang Wei thought about it, the more likely it seemed, otherwise, where could have they been in the past 20 days? It would only take those guys 3-5 days to take a trip to the provincial capital or a municipality. 20 days were too long for them.

"No way, commander, even the Capital Base couldn't send the transport helicopters there, how can theirs reach the Coastal Base? There are 2,000 kilometers between the Southwest and the Coastal."

"I don't think they could have made it, either. They only got a dozen of people. Even if they did make it to the Coastal Base, they wouldn't help them a lot, so it would be a waste of time and energy. Maybe Yun Che is young and impulsive but Xing Feng is an old weasel, why would he risk the lives of his core members?"

"Right, right, right. I'm sure the Coastal Base sorted things out by themselves. The help of a dozen superfunction possessors would be too insignificant."

"I agree. From what I know, there were a million zombies besieging the Coastal Base. They couldn't have dealt with so many zombies."

All the officers at the meeting stated their opinions. Maybe they were jealous or maybe they were rationally looking at this thing, they all came to the same conclusion that Chaoyang and Peak had nothing to do with the Coastal Base. Wei Kan and Wang Wei, however, were on the same page, which was a rare case. They had suffered too many losses when dealing with those two, they knew what they were capable of better than anyone did. Yes, less than 20 people couldn't fight a million zombies, but what if they fought side by side with the Coastal soldiers and superfunction possessors? It was quite probable, actually.

"Dumb!"

Wang Guoan sniffed at those officers who sniffed at Chaoyang and Peak. A dozen people could do nothing? Even one person could pull it off if the person was smart enough. Didn't they know that there were also a million survivors in the Coastal Base?

"Commander, I feel unwell. I'm gonna go."

Wang Guoan had gotten sick of those ignorant idiots. He got up from his seat and walked out of the meeting room before Wang Wei and Wei Kan could react. He had never felt so tired before. The over-confidence of the military had caused multiple defeats. After how many defeats could they understood that the military wasn't the dominant force anymore. How were these idiots supposed to compete with Mo Army?

Sometimes, Wang Guoan thought about dropping everything and being a regular superfunction possessor without the military title who fought for an average superfunction possessor like those Overlord Girls. He was sick of the exhausting and relentless plotting against others every day. Too bad, he couldn't. Wang Wei was his cousin, Wang Guoan had to stay in the military as his aide.

"Mom! Mom, I'm home."

On the other side, before the mini-coach drove through the gate, the people on the coach had seen Yun Yao and Gu Mingxuan waiting by the gate. Chenchen waved at them in excitement because he had been away from his mom for too long. When the mini-coach stopped, Chenchen was the first to get off and run to them.

"Mom! Mom!"

"Chenchen!"

Yun Yao bent down and picked Chenchen up with teary eyes. The mother and the son had been separated for so long over the three years. Yun Yao missed her son so much. She urged Yun Che to come home as soon as she noticed Yun Che was online. A mother would always be worried about her traveling child and Yun Yao's child was only 3 years old! Even though she knew her brothers and their mates wouldn't allow Chenchen to be slightly hurt, Yun Yao was still worried.

"Mom, I miss you."

Chenchen wrapped his chubby arms around his mom's neck. His eyes were red as well.

"Sis, we're home."

Yun Cheng hopped to his sister joyfully after he got off the mini-coach. He must be the happiest one after this journey because of all those level-4 crystal nuclei, which could last for a long long time.

"Great. Perfect. I'm glad that you're home safe and sound."

Yun Yao stood up with her son in her arms and wiped her tears away. She was truly relieved when she saw her brother was all well.

"Mom, grandpa, I need a word with Chu. We'll talk later."

Lu Haixuan just said a few things with his mom and granddad. Before his mother asked him about Chu Haoling, he tried to take Chu away because he was still in a sulk.

"A word with me? There's not much to say between you and me."

Chu Haoling broke loose of Lu and hid behind Lu's mom, knowing that Lu was going to settle the casually-hugging-another-dude problem with him. He even hooked the arm of Lu's grandad with his. "Mr. Chen, auntie, let's go inside. We've brought a whole bunch of seafood home. Let's have a seafood buffet tonight. I guarantee that you'll be impressed."

Chu Haoling led them into the house as he spoke. Lu's mother kept looking back at her son because she felt something wasn't right. Lu Haixuan's handsome face was darkened. Shen Rui stepped forward and tapped him on the shoulder. "Sorry, he's spoiled."

"Bear with him for now and deal with him later in the evening. You can't catch him during the day."

Jiang Shan tapped him on the other shoulder. This was the best advice they could offer. But Chu Haoling did need to kick the habit of becoming thoughtless when it came to food. He had a boyfriend now, how could he act like when he was single? Lu had been big-hearted enough to allow him to be intimate with their mates, how could he hug someone outside the family? It wasn't Lu Haixuan's fault that he was jealous.

"He's great."

Lu Haixuan followed them in after looking back and forth from Shen Rui to Jiang Shan and saying something that didn't make sense. Shen Rui and Jiang Shan were confused for a moment before they realized that he wasn't probably being jealous?

"What's wrong with them?"

Gu Mingxuan took Chenchen over from Yun Yao after giving them a glance. His inquisitive eyes turned to Xing Feng and Yun Che for an answer. Those two just shrugged. "I'm sure Lu was jealous but I don't think he's going to give Chu a hard time. First of all, he doesn't have the nerve because Chu Haoling is horrifying when he's pissed off, secondly, Lu doesn't have the heart to do so."

It was no doubt that Lu Haixuan was fond of Chu Haoling, otherwise, he wouldn't have treated him so nicely. Although their relationship started off with a drama, Lu Haixuan's love for Chu Haoling was real. And Chu Haoling should feel the love but like he said, to him, food was always the No. 1 priority in his life.

"It feels like we missed something out."

Yun Che put his attention on Gu Mingxuan and Yun Yao when he was done with the relationship between Lu Haixuan and Chu Haoling. One had a child in the arms, the other endearingly stood by. The three of them made a happy family. "Has Gu won my sister's heart?"

Yun Che was aware that Gu Mingxuan was after Yun Yao but he didn't mean to intervene. He, too, wished that his sister could forget about Zhou Zhijun and started her life all over again. After all, she was only in her 20s, she was still young. If she couldn't put Zhou Zhijun behind her, even if they avenged her someday, she was still the loser and what she would lose was her own life. And most importantly, Gu Mingxuan was a trustworthy man.

Having heard what Yun Che said, Xing Feng moved his smiley eyes to Gu Mingxuan and Yun Yao. As the Captain of Chaoyang and Yun Che's boyfriend, he surely wished they could work out so that the two squads would become closer. Ye Xingchen and the others who were walking into the house all looked at them. Their eyes were full of wishes. After they learned about Yun Yao's ex-husband Zhou Zhijun, what they hoped more was that Yun Yao walked out of her past and started another sweet romantic relationship.

Gu Mingxuan had Chenchen in his arms and he was OK with all the eyes on him. He smiled and looked at Yun Yao. Yun Yao, however, was embarrassed. She was a smart girl, Gu Mingxuan's intention had become clearer and clearer and she was fully aware, it was just she hadn't been ready for another relationship yet. She couldn't fool herself, Zhou Zhijun still took up a large space in her heart. The years of memories they had together wouldn't just disappear easily. Maybe the marriage between her and Zhou Zhijun was over but she couldn't get over him that fast.

"What are you talking about? Be serious."

Without nothing better to say, Yun Yao scowled at his brother and raised her voice to him. She wasn't sure if she'd fall in love with Gu Mingxuan or not, but what she didn't want was an awkward relationship with him.

"What did I say? I just want to check with Gu if there were any events in the base in the past 3 weeks. Why are you so flustered?"

Yun Che acted like he was confused but deep down, he felt low, as his sister's attitude had shown that she wasn't entirely over Zhou Zhijun.

"You know what, you keep chatting, then."

Although Yun Yao knew her brother pretended on purpose, she still felt a little awkward. She snatched Chenchen from Gu and scurried into the house. Watching her walk away at a fast pace, Yun Che sighed and silently looked at another house. Xing Feng patted Gu Mingxuan on the shoulder. "Give her some time. True love doesn't fade away so fast. That man, after all, is Chenchen's father and I heard their love was strong before the doomsday."

"Hehe. Do I look like someone who's emotionally weak?"

Gu Mingxuan just felt bad for her because she was a silly girl!

"Come on, let's have a chat. Shen Rui, ask Haoling to deliver the seafood in his Space to the canteen."

Xing Feng wrapped his arm around Gu's shoulder. He gave the order as he walked. When they left yesterday, Tan Weiye gave them more seafood, which could feed them for a long long time. He figured all his boys deserved a change of menu from time to time.
