Nearly thirty small squads finally determined the direction before the sky completely darkened, that is the old highway from Lingjiang City to Tongyang City. There were few zombies on the highway, so Xing Feng took the chance and commanded the squad to march forward until they arrived at a small building along the highway. The gate was wide open, and the ground was full of the corpses of zombies wrapped in mere skins. They were already dead, lifelessly.
"Whoo –"
Hundreds of people parked their car and entered the courtyard. Wolf King, who had been following Ye Xingchen, suddenly bolted out, as if he had thought of something. Xing Feng immediately followed, only to see Wolf King sneak into the toilet, from which he took out a black sock. Xing Feng excitedly went forward to take the sock and carefully studied.
"It's Che's, our tracking route is right. They have stopped here."
Although there were many black socks, Yun Che's socks were matching with him. After hastily taking off his own sock and repeatedly comparing them, Xing Feng was finally sure that the sock belonged to Yun Che.
"Are you sure? Then Che should be fine, right?"
After searching for a day and a night, the consumption of physical superfunction was nothing. What disappointed them the most was the fact that they couldn't find anything on Yun Che's whereabouts, and they had no idea whether he was still alive or not. Although they didn't say it out loud, everyone knew that they were exhausted, tired from the fear and anxiety in their minds. Now that they could finally be sure that Yun Che was at least alive, all members of Peak quietly let out a sigh of relief. For them, as long as Yun Che was still alive, even if they didn't find him for the time being, they would have endless motivation, and they firmly believed that they would soon be able to welcome back their boss!
"Then, shall we continue to chase after them?"
Since they had determined where Yun Che was, there was no reason for them to delay, and because of the man had cleaned up the old highway, there were only a few zombies, which would not pose any trouble if they moved forward at night.
Xing Feng, who tightly gripped Yun Che's sock in his hand, looked up at all these people standing in the courtyard. Eventually, he shook his head. "The man has a strong anti-detection ability, so if we still blindly rush around like what we did last night and during the day, it is easy for us to fall into the trap again. So let's take a rest here tonight and we'll continue to chase after them in the morning."
Having said that, Xing Feng turned around and strode into the house. He was more anxious than anyone else, but his remaining sense told him that the more anxious he was, the less likely he would find Yun Che. Since Yun Che could leave the socks behind as a clue, his life should not be in danger for the time being, and this should also be a way of him telling them to stay calm, take their time, and that he would wait for them.
"There's one thing I find very strange. With Captain Yun's superfunction level, why didn't he escape? At first, I was thinking that Che should have been in a coma when he was taken away, but since he was able to leave us a message, he should have been awake, right? Then why didn't he run away? Could it be that whoever took him has higher superfunction level than his?"
After eating some dry food, no one could sleep. Chen Hua found the opportunity to ask his questions.
"No, no one should have a higher superfunction level than Che, at most they would be level-5 just like he was. I think it might because the man's superfunction just happens to be able to restrain him, and he disguised as me to trick Che out in the first place and Che was defenseless against him. That's why he was fooled. His superfunction might have been temporarily blocked."
And even his cultivation and Space had been sealed.
Xing Feng did not say the last sentence. If this was not the case, it was impossible to explain why Che would be at the mercy of others. If he simply wanted to figure out what the man was capable of and use him as a bait to lure out whoever behind the curtain, he could have subdued the man and brought him back and hypnotize him. As clever as Che was, there was no way that he would not know how important he was to them and he would not keep them worried like this
"Well, I think Captain Xing should be right. All the zombies in the downtown Lingjiang City have melted into blood, while all the zombies along the way have turned into soft, boneless creatures. That man's superfunction should be very strange and rare. Che once said that there are thousands of types of superfunctions, and there's only what we can't imagine and every kind of superfunction is possible. I think we've come across it this time."
Ye Xingchen, who was always gentle, had never smiled since he knew that Yun Che went missing. Jiang Shang, who stood beside him, was so heartbroken but there was nothing he could do and he was unable to make him smile like he always did because he was worried as well! Although they all said that all he could think about was his Senior, and he didn't deny it, his companions, especially Yun Che who allowed Senior to be with him in peace, were also very important in his heart.
"Damn it!"
Lei Dashan couldn't help but curse after hearing this. They had joined the team searching for Yun Che since last night, and this morning he even gathered all the superfunction possessors in the team. Although no one died up to now, a lot of people were injured since last night. Luckily they had two superfunction possessors of light, otherwise there was no telling how many people would have died. The man who abducted Captain Yun must pray that he would never fall into their hands, or else he would skin him alive.
Perhaps he was not the only one present to think this way. Everyone would like to cut that man into pieces and then chop him into mush, but unfortunately, they could only think about it now.
"Don't overthink it. When we catch him, everything will be clear. Everyone takes a rest now, and tomorrow we'll set off at dawn."
After saying that, Xing Feng stood up and walked out.
"Coo, coo –"
Seeing his master, Eagle King, who was responsible for perching on the roof and keeping watch, swooped down, his head leaning over to rub his shoulder. It seemed that he was soothing him, and Xing Feng turned around and caress his head, "You're also worried about Che, right? It's okay, I'll find him soon, and in two days I'll have a wedding with him. I will spend my life with him hand in hand. He'll be fine."
Xing Feng said this to comfort the Eagle King and also to convince himself. God knew how much he wanted to chase after them non-stop, but when he saw his tired friends and the relief they showed when they learned that Yun Che was still alive, he had to think about them. After all, most of them had a family, and if something really happened, their parents, wives and children would also be saddened. Since they already had a clue that they were in the right direction and that Yun Che's life was not in danger for now, it would be a bit inappropriate to risk such great danger to travel all night.
"Coo, coo –"
As if he understood what he said, the Eagle King called and nodded. Xing Feng stroked his head again and let him flew him to the roof. He lied there with both eyes looking up at the night sky, as if Yun Che was all over the night sky.
The devil's den.
Of course, Yun Che, as the prisoner, would not have anything to eat. It was not clear whether he felt too disgusted or hungry, Yun Che felt ill in his stomach, as if his body, which was used to fine clothing and gourmet food, was protesting against his abuse of it. Luckily, Fei Ye, who was trying to make him sick all the way, kind of cherished him as artwork, and had been taking very good care of him after entering the cell, until…
"So what, you're sure you're a man, right?"
Seeing that he had been uncomfortable, Fei Ye took his hand and checked his pulse, his face immediately turning pale as if he had eaten shit, and the eyes looking at him also looked ghoulish. Yun Che snappishly drew back his hand, and stared angrily at him, "Don't talk crap. What else can I be if I'm not a man? A woman? Do you think I'm like you and can change into whatever I want?"
The cell was built in the huge square filled with kites made of human skins in middle of the village. It was getting dark, and it was not clear what those people were busy with. Bonfires blocked their view, and they could only vaguely see the shadows of people coming back and forth, and sometimes hear people calling and yelling. Those people inside the cell were getting more terrified as the night came, especially a couple with children, who huddled up and held themselves tightly. The boy around five or six was so scared that there was no light in his eyes at all and he wasn't even able to cry out.
"But why does your pulse indicate that you are pregnant?"
Fei Ye was also particularly aggrieved. Medicine and toxin were similar, and what he was specialized at before the doomsday was face shifting and toxin. Since he was an expert in toxin, he was surely good at medicine. He was 100% sure that Yun Che's pulse showed that was two months pregnant.
"What? Say it again. The wind was too strong for me to hear clearly. What did you say I was?"
Hearing that, Yun Che immediately retreated his eyes. Seeing that he was confused as well, Fei Ye again lowered his voice and leaned over to say it again, "You are two months pregnant. But you are not a hermaphrodite, so you shouldn't get pregnant. Do you want me to check on it again?"
Saying that, Fei Ye tried to grab his hand again, but Yun Che dodged, "No need. I know what's going on."
At the same time, he touched his belly with the other hand. He didn't expect that he would really get pregnant, and he thought… Then it seemed that the reason for his sudden fondness for fruits recently should be his pregnancy, and now that he was not feeling well, it should also be that he couldn't provide the energy the child needed and his body was starting to warn him.
"Your toxin should have no effect on the fetus, right?"
Suddenly thinking of this, Yun Che asked again in a low voice. Although he didn't like to be pregnant, since he already was, he would not allow any accidents to happen.
"Hmm?"
Raising an eyebrow, Fei Ye looked at him with a smirk and sat down beside him, "If you tell me why you're pregnant, I'll tell you if it will affect the fetal development."
As a top killing, he knew better than anyone else that curiosity killed a cat. The reason why he was curious about Yun Che's pregnancy was because it was really rare, and, it was a good story to kill some time. Looking at the state of the others, he knew that later on those people outside would torture them mercilessly, so when he could relax, he should take the time and relax. There would be a hard battle later on.
"Then keep it to yourself."
Not wanting to talk to him again, Yun Che closed his eyes. Whatever Fei Ye could see through he could as well. Previously he thought it didn't matter, but now since he knew he was really pregnant, it couldn't go on like this. He had to find a way out.
"Don't worry. It will be okay. Even if something goes wrong, I will make sure he's okay."
Fei Ye suddenly said. Yun Che turned to look at him, only to see him with both hands behind his head in a rather leisurely manner. Before he could reply, chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
"Pa!"
The iron door, which was completely solidified with superfunction, was suddenly pulled open, and several strangely-dressed men and women walked in, holding machine guns. And the man in the nose ring at the front said excitedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, our monthly bonfire party is about to start, so come along and join us."
"Ah…"
"No, don't…"
"Ahhhhhh…"
However, when his words fell, all the other people in the cell screamed in horror, while those in several other cells started screaming as well. Fei Ye and Yun Che exchanged a look and their eyes looked concerned. The real show was about to begin!
