The Cunning Gaowei, Heiyu Awakens

The Northeast Basewas more than a thousand kilometers away from the Capital Base. It normally took them less than two hours to get there by plane, and it would take longer time if they went by helicopter, which was about three hours. However, in the doomsday, zombies and mutant birds were everywhere, so they had to take twice the time, and there was no guarantee that they would arrive there safely. If they encountered fierce zombies and mutant beasts, they might crash together with the helicopter.

Yun Che and his team started to chase after Gao Wei two hours after the incident, so it seemed impossible to catch up unless they directly chased after them to the Northeast Base. However, in reality, it was not quite true. The speed of the helicopter was limited and there were zombies and mutant birds along the way, so they would not be able to travel at a fast speed, while Yun Che and his team rode on the Eagle King and Eagle Queen, which were much faster than the helicopter, and the mutant birds of lower levels than them did not dare to approach. As for zombie birds, as long as they did not encounter a mass attack, Yun Che, Xing Feng and Fei Ye were able to deal with them in a heartbeat. They were so much faster so as long as they were not that unlucky, it was not a difficult task to catch up with them.

"A large number of heat-sensitive sources have been detected ahead."

Halfway to the Northeast Base, two helicopters wereflying low so as to avoid the attack from mutant birds. The helicopterwas installed with a heat-sensing device, so when mutant birds approached, the device would immediately sense them, and the helicopter could change course or perform an emergency landing, so as to avoid the attack from mutant birds. However, they could do nothing aboutzombie birds. Zombie birds, like zombies, were already dead, and would not emanate heat so the heat-sensing device was unable to feel their presence.

"Find a place to land, abandon the plane. We'll go by land now."

After carefully checking the map, Gao Wei said. They were now less than five hundred miles away from the Northeast Base. Before they left the Capital Base, he lied to Lin Zhihong that they would wait for him outside the Capital Base, and asked him to wait outside the east gate, where there were no armies from the Xing, Mo, Ye and Shu families, so he would slow down Yun Che and Xing Feng's pursuit. But now, he must have already exposed himself. Once they targeted at him, they would learn that he had asked Liu Xizhao for two helicopters and they might be after him now. Therefore, going by land was safer than by helicopters.

"Yes."

His subordinate responded through the wireless headset. Gao Wei looked back at Heiyu and Chenchen, who were tied up at the back. He threw away the map and pinched his nose bridge. By now, the Northeast Basehad completely fallen out with the Capital Base, and even with the Southwest and the Coast Base. Now the only thing he hoped was that his men in the capital could get the planting secret so even if they were at war with the major bases in the future, they would not have to worry about starving

"Ah…"

In the back seat of the helicopter, the Tibetan mastiff-sized Heiyu squirmed in pain, his eyes slowly opening. Seeing this, Chenchen, who were leaning against him,immediately rubbed his head with his own head, his face muddled with tears. Because of Yun Che's training, he was young but brave, so he was not scared. However, seeing Heiyuunconscious and thinking that he was going to die, Chenchen felt agonized.

At the same time, he was also afraid that his uncle would scold him when he found him, because he didn't listen to his uncle and didn't hide his superfunction well. The bad guy found it and took him away

"Hmm… Chenchen…"

Heiyu's eyes suddenly opened and he saw Chenchen who was tied up. Heiyu reflexively blurted out but soon he realized they were in a bad situation so he held his tongue and remained quiet. Luckily, they were in a helicopter so the propeller was noisy, completely submerging his voice. As long as no one turned to check on them, no one would noticethat he had woken up.

Looking at the seats in front of them, Heiyu evaluated the situation and realized that there was no way that he could leave with Chenchen all by himself so he gave up the thought. They were now up in the sky, and even they were on the ground, it would be challenging for him to escape with Chenchen, whose superfunction was suppressed. Moreover, they had fed him something that clearly belonged to another world, which was a drug specifically designed for divine beast. He was still feeling weak and he needed antidote.

[Chenchen, don't be afraid.I will get you out here. Remember, do not make any sound. Pretend that you don't know I've woken up. I'll try to contact my master. They should've already known that we were kidnapped.]

Heiyu's limbs were chained, so he couldn't move freely. The good thing was that Chenchen had broken the Golden Pill Stage to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, so they could communicate through spirit in close range.

[Okay, I will not be afraid. Uncle Heiyu, are you in pain? You don't open your eyes and I'm worried.]

Receiving his telepathic message, Chenchen was so smart that he immediately understood what to do. However, his voice seemed to be trembling. As his hands were tied behind him, and his mouth was sealed, the only thing he could do was to look at Heiyu with his teary eyes.

[I'm fine. Your Uncle Heiyu is a bad ass and I'm not going to die that easily. Now stop crying and close your eyes, pretending that you have fallen asleep.]

All of them doted on Chenchen as if he was the most precious thing in the world and Chenchen had never suffered anything like that. Heiyu felt so heartbroken but meanwhile he felt lucky that he didn't immediately faint when he fell. He felt exhausted and could not fight but he had seen the last image of them trying to catch his little masters. Fortunately, the little masters unconsciously lifted up the array, which saved Yao and others and they were not here as hostages. They were different from Chenchen, and it would be messed up if they were also caught.

[Okay.]

Chenchen was a good boy and he immediately closed his eyes and leaned against him as he received the message. Heiyu, whose mouth was not sealed, licked his face. He was so heartbroken and closed his eyes, trying to reach out to Yun Che.

[Master, master, reply when you hear me. I, the almighty divine beast, is calling you now, master.]

[Heiyu, what the hell? Why didn't you wait until you are at the Northeast Baseto contact me? Where are you guys? Can you see the coordinates or something? Where's Chenchen?Is he with you?Have they harmed you?]

Almost immediately, Yun Che's response rang in his head. At this moment, Yun Che and the others were chasing after them along the route where the helicopter had taken off. However, the sky was so vast that they were not sure whether to follow their route or not. The three of them had decided if things didn't work out, they would fly directly to the Northeast Base, and blend in towait for an opportunity. Unexpectedly, he received Heiyu's voice. If possible, they would like not to blend in to theNortheast Base. After all, there were only three of them, and even though he had some mutant beasts inside the Space, there was no way that were going to fight against the whole base.

[Stop taunting me, master. I'm still immobile now. I'm fine, so is Chenchen. We are safe for now, but…Damn, wait a second, master.]

After receiving his master's voice, Heiyuwasfinally relieved. At least they were less than a thousand miles apart. However, half through his speech, the helicopter suddenly made a dive and Heiyu's head bumped in a corner. As physically strong as he was, he would not be injured, but he still felt the pain.

[Heiyu? Heiyu? What's wrong, Heiyu? Damn, talk to me.]

Yun Che sounded anxious, and his tone was filled with worry.

[Don't panic, master, they seem to be landing. I'll check the situation first and talk to you later.]

The helicopter was tumbling more and more violently.Heiyu hurriedly explained, slightly lifted his eyelids to have a look, and quietly admonished Chenchento stay still. His limps that were tied up shrank, and he rubbed his belly using his paw. Taking out a yellow pill the size of a marble from the Space, he swallowed it down as the helicopter kept tumbling.

[Then take care of yourself, and protect Chenchen for me. Notify me immediately when you see road signs or something.]

On the other side, Yun Che, who was silent for a moment, instructed again and in the meantime, he patted the Eagle King, "Land to the ground and take a rest."

"Goo goo!"

The Eagle King turned back and chirped, indicating that he was not tired and needno rest. They also loved Chenchen. Sountil they found him, it would not allow itself to be tired.

"But I'm hungry. Let's go to the ground. I want to discuss our next move with Xing Feng and Fei Ye."

Understanding what it meant, Yun Che patted it again. TheEagle King found a vacant roof and swooped down. At the same time, Yun Che also used the air membrane to wrap around them so as not to be attackedby the zombies. He didn't have time to deal with them now.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Xing Feng asked confusedly. He still had no idea that Yun Che had already contacted Heiyu. Onthe other side,Fei Ye also jumped down from the Eagle Queen and walked towards them.

"Heiyu contacted me. He said that the helicopter that Gao Wei and the others are flying seems to be landing.Helicopters are slower than passenger planes. Normally, it'll take them three hours to get to the Northeast Base from the Capital Base, but now it has only been two hours and a half since they took off. Even if they were not attacked along the way, there was no way that they had reached the Northeast Base. Gao Wei was careful and meticulous. I think he must have already expected that we will come after him, so he gives up the air route and takes the land route to play hide-and-seek with us. Oncehe entered the Northeast Base, they arein his territory, and it would be hard for us to save Chenchen and Heiyu."

Yun Che didn't hide what he knew, and told them everything about Heiyu and his assumption. Then he took out a tablet, pulled out mapsof the whole country he stored inside long time ago and found the one of the northeast. They had extremely limited information now and there was barely anything they could do now.The worst-case scenario was that they had to chase after them into the Northeast Base.

"Well, if he really changed to the land route, we might have to chase them to the Northeast Base. Once we enter the Northeast Base, we might not be able to find them at all."

Xing Feng's face turned sullen. The situation was getting worse for them, and Gao Wei was more cunning than they thought.

"Heiyuwould find a way to get their coordinates, right?"

Fei Ye stroked his chin in thought, his eyes directing at Yun Che and rarely, he didn't try to provoke Xing Feng.

"Well, Heiyu is not some advanced mutant beast. He is a real divine beast, and I believe he won't let us down. Gao Wei is certainly cunning, but he will never dream that I can communicateHeiyu. He will not have a chance to return to the Northeast Base."

Yun Che's voice was soft, but the murderous intent was obvious. Since his rebirth, he had never been at such a disadvantage. Gao Wei had done this to him and challenged his bottom line. Once he saw Gao Wei, the latter was not going to return home alive!

"Then there's no use of us chasing after them blindly. Let's have something to eat and wait for the message fromHeiyu."

Understanding what he meant, Xing Feng said nothing but took out a table, chairs and various food from the Space. They had eliminated the Lin and Liu families in a row and had been chasing after Gao Wei nonstop for half an hour now. It was time for them to getsome replenishment. Maybe not long after, there wasanotherbig battle awaiting.
