Everyone Is Fearsome

After the meeting, Xing Feng went to the apartment building in person. He hypnotized the researchers' family and had Gu Mingxuan read their minds before kicking them out. When Chaoyang was on the move, they were fast and neat. Many were kicked out of Chaoyang in the very evening. Even the military noticed their action. The three armies and the government had an emergency meeting on the subject of whether they should offer shelter for those people. Mo Wenyang had been in the loop, so surely, he voted no. Wei Kang, Wang Wei and Wan Guoqiang had fallen for Xing Feng and Yun Che's tricks too many times, so they weren't sure what to do. In the end, Wan Guoqiang suggested those people be settled in Section C for now. Wei, Wang and Wan then reached a consensus.

What they didn't know was, most kids from superfunction squads in Section C went to Chaoyang Kindergarten and those family members of researchers had repulsed superfunction possessors in Section C, so the settlement plan basically threw those people into the frying pan. Since they were still condescending, their lives would no doubt be tough in Section C.

But none of that would concern Xing Feng and Yun Che anymore. Xing Feng cleared almost half of the laboratory. Those who stayed were either dedicated researchers or pragmatic folks who agreed to Xing Feng's terms. As for their family members, some went to apply to Gu Mingxuan for jobs, those who didn't want to work chose to live a frugal life. The jobs they could get were mostly odd jobs, which weren't tiring but surely humbling.

Kong Family moved into the empty house that very night. Yun Yao let them live on the first floor for Mrs. Kong's convenience. Kong Yanjun, of course, wouldn't feel uncomfortable about the arrangement, rather, they were very grateful. Unlike living in the apartment building, they could push Mrs. Kong out for fresh air every day.

The next morning, Yun Che went to see Jiang Yuan and his old dorm-mates. Months had passed, the four of them were still together and hadn't been able to find their family in the base. They happily joined the detachment as soon as Yun Che put forth the offer. They moved into Chaoyang Community from Section C right away. Yun Che put Leng Yehan in charge of the detachment. Because the detachment only had 5 people, they were told to follow the core members to quests. When their levels got higher, they would have to do quests on their own.

In the meantime, the farming project was underway. To the squads equipped with earth superfunction possessors, the plowing was easy, dozens of acres could be done in a few minutes. Chaoyang and Peak walled their forty acres up. Joy and Loser did the same. They had 30 acres in total and the two squads integrated their farming lands.

Digging pools and installing sprinklers weren't difficult jobs but setting the framework of the greenhouses was. Hard timber wasn't suitable, bamboo was the only option, but the problem was, all the plants inside the base had been uprooted. There were bamboo groves around the nearby villages under the mountain but it was said that horrifying mutant beasts lurked in the groves. Even Chaoyang people came back injured from their first exploration. The team leader, Chu Haoling was furious because the mutant beasts they encountered were pandas. Yes, the national treasures that used to be cute and sluggish before the doomsday.

"Panda ate meat at the beginning. After evolution, 99% of pandas only eat bamboo, but its teeth and digestive system remain the same, so panda is still a carnivorous species. When it's enraged, it's as dangerous as bears. The bite force of an adult wild panda is only next to a polar bear, equal to a grizzly bear. When it sprints on the mountain 2,000 meters above sea level, its speed is no slower than a gold-winning hurdler. It can climb a 20-meter tall tree and effortlessly beat down 3 wolves before it mutates. After mutation, just multiply its fighting ability by 10. The southwest area is home to pandas, so they are probably the No. 1 mutant beast that we should be watch out for."

Never judge anyone by the look, don't be fooled by the cute look of pandas. You would face terrible consequences if you fell for their cuteness and slow movement. And remember, in the doomsday, always beware of mutant pandas.

"Those pandas must have been level-4. Goddammit, the entire detachment would have perished hadn't we run fast."

After Gu Mingxuan gave a lesson about panda, Chu Haoling cursed again. Although his wounds had been cured, his mental scar wouldn't easily heal. His detachment had 8 level-4 and 12 level-3 but the mutant pandas beat them down without giving them any chance to fight back. This must have been the greatest humiliation he had had throughout his entire life.

"It looks like I should personally go on this trip."

Xing Feng rubbed his chin as he spoke to Yun Che. They had the ace in the hole against mutant beasts. The dude should be awake now.

"Why are you looking at me? Because I'm level 5? Come on, mutant beasts are physically strong, I can't win them in a grapple."

Yun Che realized that everyone's eyes were on him. He immediately lost his nerve and he had to because pandas were formidable. Maybe Yun Che could deal with one or two, but he, too, would run away from a pack of pandas.

"Ahem, uh, Che, Heiyu should be awake now, right?"

They knew that Yun Che couldn't deal with all the pandas on his own but they also knew he got the powerful god beast, Heiyu. It was his showtime again.

"Don't ask me. I felt like he was awake two days ago but he's still in the cave. He's either depleted or faking a coma to hide from me."

Yun Che shrugged after they asked about Heiyu. Yun Che was sure that Heiyu was awake but he just wouldn't open his eyes. Yun Che had no idea what to do.

"I bet he's faking."

Chu Haoling shot out a coin. Zhou Zeyu caught it and said, "Duh! He's Heiyu!"

Everybody reached a consensus, which meant the bet was canceled.

"You've overlooked something."

"What?"

People weren't sure what Yun Che was talking about. He explained, "Xingchen is a tamer, remember? He's supposed to subdue all beasts. We can't ask for Heiyu's help every time we deal with mutant beasts."

The reason why Yun Che didn't join the guys in the quests and didn't let Yun Cheng join them was because he wanted the guys to learn more experience and to be better trained when the level gap between humans and mutant beasts wasn't very big. When the gap became bigger, they couldn't get the training anymore. Whether it was human or zombie or mutant beast or zombie beast or mutant plant, the top level for all creatures was level 10. In higher levels, even the one-level gap would make a big difference. Because humans weren't physically strengthened by superfunction, in the same-level battle, humans were the weakest. If humans were to stay dominant in the doomsday, they would have to level up quicker than zombies and other creatures did. Among all the attributes, the leveling for psychological was the hardest. Tamers were under psychological category, so Xingchen needed to confront zombie beasts or mutant beasts more often than everybody else. Yun Che figured dealing with the pandas could be a great opportunity.

"That's true. Would you like to try, Xingchen? We'll help you distract the mobs, you just handle the highest level one."

Upon hearing what Yun Che said, people realized that they'd been relying too much on Heiyu. Meng Gang was the first to encourage Ye Xingchen by patting him on the shoulder.

"OK. Tomorrow, then?"

It was a great opportunity to level himself up, why wouldn't Ye Xingchen agree? In fact, he had been thinking about it for a while, but since everybody started talking about Heiyu, he joined the crowd.

"OK."

Leng Yehan nodded. The decision had been made. Yun Che suddenly proposed, "Xingchen, how about you get more war-beasts? The Wolf King isn't enough."

Yun Che fought mutant pandas in his previous life, and his memory taught him that those creatures were genuinely fierce. If Ye Xingchen could tame one, that would be ideal.

"Are you suggesting… Um, it can be strenuous."

Ye Xingchen understood Yun Che right away. He would love a panda if he could. Those creatures, after all, injured Chu Haoling, so a panda would unquestionably make a perfect war-beast."

"Nothing is easy. You… Wait!"

Before Yun Che finished talking, poof, he vanished. First, the guys were confused, then they realized he must have gone into his Space. Then, they thought of Heiyu who was faking a coma, everybody laughed. Heiyu must have been caught.

"Shit!"

"Heiyu, stay where you are!"

In Space, Heiyu was playing with Chenchen. He scampered away right after he saw Yun Che. Yun Che's roar reverberated through the entire Space. Chenchen and Yun Cheng stared blankly them off into the distance. Yun Che and Heiyu were able to teleport in Space, so Yun Cheng couldn't catch up with them.

Chenchen was basically recovered because Yun Che killed a boar a day just for its liver. The boy seemed big but he would never admit it, baby fat was the explanation for everything. What Yun Che said back in the Coastal Base came into Chenchen's mind. He pulled the hem of Yun Cheng's clothes, looked up and asked, "Uncle Cheng, will Uncle Che hit Uncle Heiyu?"

"Poor Uncle Heiyu, will Uncle Che spank him? That must be painful like how he feels when his head bumps into something." The boy thought.

"I don't know."

Yun Cheng was confused. He didn't even know why his brother would hit Heiyu.

"Uncle Cheng, let's go and have a look, shall we?"

Chenchen blew the whistle hanging around his neck after giving a concerned look in the direction where they disappeared. A golden eagle soon came over. Chenchen looked up and shouted, "Eagle, take us to Uncle Heiyu and Uncle Che, OK?"

*Coo coo*

The golden shook its head while taking several steps back. It was too scared to look for the god beast that had been bullying them with its majestic aura and the Yun Che, the owner of this Space. The eagle wasn't born in Yun Che's Space but he wouldn't want to upset them.

"Eagle…"

Chenchen pouted and begged. Yun Cheng conjured a light ball in his hand after seeing this. He glared at the golden eagle and threatened, "Take us to them or I'll smash you into crumbs."

*Coo coo*

Everybody was bullying the poor bird!

The golden eagle kept backing up while flapping its wings. If it could speak, it would be protesting. The golden eagle didn't want to take Chenchen and Yun Cheng to them because both Heiyu and Yun Che were scary. And they could teleport, the eagle couldn't catch them up anyway.

"Eagle, don't be afraid. Uncle Cheng won't beat you."

*Coo coo*

"Won't beat me? What's that light ball then?" The eagle whined. Yun Cheng gave it another glower. "Will you or will you not?"

*Coo coo*

The eagle had no choice but to agree.

The eagle leaned over. The light ball in Yun Cheng's hand faded. He picked Chenchen up. "Let's go find my brother."

"OK."

The uncle and the nephew weren't sorry. Terrified, the poor eagle flew in the direction where Yun Che went. Everyone in this family was fearsome.
