Plans always changed. The situation in the capital had totally reversed and was far more serious than they had ever expected. If they didn't do this cautiously this time, they might bring the Xing family, the Mo family, and even the Ye family and the Shu family to their ends. Yun Che ordered Leng Yehan's army to Xing Feng. The 30,000 soldiers were all superfunction possessors right now, and they were among level-6 to level-9.
But Xing Feng refused directly because the Northeast Base was more dangerous and they were very likely to start a war there, which meant they would play a bigger role with Yun Che there. Unfortunately, Xing Feng was never as convictive as Yun Che. In the end, he led the army and went to the capital through the space corridor.
"Feng, just do whatever you have to do to stabilize the situation there, but if you can't, please save our Grandpas and take them to the Southwest Base. Oh, don't forget to block the corridor afterwards."
After the members of Chaoyang and the army both entered the corridor, Yun Che enjoined Xing Feng. They were worried about each other because this time, they were fighting against not just Xuan Tian and Gao Wei but human desires and greed. The capital was the core of it, and killing wouldn't solve it perfectly.
"Yeah, I know what to do. Be careful on your way to the Northeast Base. If anything, just hide in your space. We'll be in touch with emails."
Xing Feng couldn't help stroking Yun Che's cheek. This was the first time they had ever been separated to perform different missions. Holding a lot to say, but in the end, he only told him to take care because none of them could foresee what was waiting for Yun Che in the Northeast Base. It would be lucky if they didn't encounter Xuan Tian there, but if they did, it might be the end of the world. Xing Feng struggled. Maybe what he really wished was that he could confront Xuan Tian with Yun Che.
"Go. Mingxuan and the rest are waiting for you."
Yun Che knew it was not the right time to show their love. After all, they were not the only couple who were separated. Bearing his love inside, he looked at Gu Mingxuan who had already said goodbye to Yun Yao before going out of the space. Yun Yao and Lu Haixuan didn't even get out of the space to see them off because it might cause too much attention.
"Heiyu, I'm counting on you to take care of Che. I should go!"
Heiyu was still resting on Xing Feng's shoulder. The latter nodded at him and then gazed at Yun Che with emotions. Finally, he strode toward the entrance of the corridor, but his fists clenched hard. It took him all his strength to restrain himself from running back to Yun Che and hug him.
"Charge!"
Xing Feng gave the order before he got in the car. The fleet of cars drove ahead and he didn't look back.
Standing at the entrance, Yun Che and Tan Weiye saw them off and didn't leave until the superfunction possessors on the other side blocked the corridor for good. In case the enemies might use it for their advantage, they decided to seal it off and only leave the corridor from Coast Base to the Southwest Base for emergencies.
"Now it's our turn to move."
Watching the corridor blocked, Yun Che rubbed Heiyu's body and murmured. He had taken Yun Cheng and the rest in his space, so there would be only him and Heiyu going to the Northeast Base on the surface. He had to do his best to avoid the moles sent by Xuan Tian.
"Che, I don't really know what to say now. Everything happened so fast. What Wenyang and I can do is to help stabilize the Southwest Base and the Coast Base. As for the rest, we'll have to count on you guys. Please be safe and alive. We'll be here waiting for you to come back."
Tan Weiye said to him solemnly. He wouldn't be so worried if Yun Che was out to fight against Xuan Tian and the Northeast Base. With the leak of his secret space, China was in chaos. They had too many enemies this time.
"We will. If I die, I lose everything. But I have so many people and things to care about. So, I won't let myself die that soon. Ye, please, our families are now your duty and Master Mo's."
As long as the base existed, they could start over even if they might lose temporarily. Although Tan Weiye and Mo Wenyang wouldn't join them this time, their works here were essential.
"Don't worry. Dude, it won't be cool if you don't attend our wedding."
Patting his shoulder heavily, Tan Weiye failed to ease the air. He tried to tease, but his expression showed the opposite. Yun Che took the chance, "Tell me about it! To be exact, it were Feng and I who led you two to each other. Once it's over, I'd like to attend the weddings of you and Master Mo, Sister Yao and Mingxuan, Zeyu and Xiu Jie, Yang and Yafei, one at a time. Haha."
"That's a lot. How about we throw it together?"
Now that Yun Che had taken it easy, Tan Weiye finally smiled. Yun Che was always the toughest among all of them.
"Why not? And we'll let the world witness your happiness."
As their voice fell, they both smiled. Despite the happy conversation, they still had to say goodbye. Yun Che took Heiyu to an open area. The latter jumped off his shoulder and transformed into his real size, his big wings shrinking obediently on both sides of his body. Yun Che tiptoed and flew to his back, "Ye, I'm leaving. Don't worry about our grandpa. Yao will take good care of him."
To leave the younger ones enough space to do what they had to do, Senior Tan required specially to stay in the space. Although he excused that he didn't want to leave the children, they all knew that he was afraid he might be a burden for them, just like Senior Xing and other old ones.
"Sure, I'm expecting your victory!"
Tan Weiye looked up at him and said so. After Yun Che nodded, Heiyu ran fast and flew high soon. His big wings spread widely in the sky.
"Captain!"
Miao Xinbai and the rest came over from afar. Tai Weiye withdrew his gaze and said to them, "I'm not giving in. I'll stay here and fight even if I'm the only one left. I'll be in the Coast Base and wait for them to come back safely!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The relationship between them and Tan Weiye was as strong as that between Xing Feng and Chu Haoling. Right now, they all stood at attention and saluted Tan Weiye. They wouldn't give up, either. No matter who might be their opponent, they would fight to the death.
The Northeast Base included three provinces before doomsday and had its base in Hambrook. The whole city, including the suburbs and countryside, was used as the base. That was a huge target. But Yun Che didn't head there. Instead, he was on his way to the deep forest which was hundreds of kilometers away and on the back left of the base. That was where the research center of mutant human beings was located. If it weren't for Fei Ye, Yun Che wouldn't have figured out the exact position of it.
Hambrook was about two thousand kilometers away from the Coast Base, so it would take Heiyu at least two hours to get there. They didn't try to hide on their way, but when they reached the Northeast Base, they disappeared. Instead of entering the space, they became invisible because Heiyu had asked Xuan Po secretly for the method. In this way, even Xuan Tian could not sense their existence.
"Bump!"
"How the hell did they disappear? You idiots! Now comb the base, every one of you!"
Inside the Northeast Base, Gao Wei was furious to learn the news. He threw everything on the desk to the ground. His broken arm which had been cut by Yun Che was now intact again. It was just thinner than the other. Most importantly, his face seemed to have changed. His expression was more evil and malicious, his eyeballs became gold, and his pupils were vertical, just like those of the snakes. These shouldn't be human's eyes at all.
"Yes, sir!"
The man who reported the news staggered his way out, while Gao Wei got seated with lingering anger. They got the news not long after Yun Che left the Coast Base. When he reached the Northeast Base, they didn't even miss a second to monitor his whereabouts. But he disappeared out of blue. Two years ago, Gao Wei had already learned how powerful and ruthless Yun Che was. Now that he had come to the Northeast Base, he wouldn't be here for a tour. Since his space was able to contain living creatures, Xing Feng and his team might have been here as well.
"Are you here? Yun Che has come to the northeast, so I believe it's time for you to assist us."
After a while, Gao Wei raised his head and said toward the air. Now was the critical time for their unification plan, so he wouldn't let Yun Che or anyone ruin this.
"Take it easy. Now that he's here, he will show himself. You've got an army of mutant human beings, okay? Or are you telling me that you are afraid of him?"
As a deep voice sounded, something dark condensed and turned into a dark shadow in the end. It was Xuan Tian's soul.
"I'm not afraid of him, of course. Even if he is level-10 already, what can he do to me alone? I'm worried about Xing Feng and the army he had summoned before."
Gao Wei leaned back confidently. As a commander, he knew better than anyone that quantity meant a lot. No matter how powerful a man was, he meant nothing if he fought alone. That was exactly the reason why Gao Wei had transformed his army into mutant human beings and manipulated them through the chips he had installed inside their bodies. Once all the transformation work was done, he believed no one in this world would be a match for him.
"If so, you can relax now. as far as I know, Xing Feng and the army have reached the Capital Base. However, Gao Wei, I have to remind you that you should not look down upon Yun Che. See, I can't even tell his location right now."
Xuan Tian was sniffy about how Gao Wei thought highly of himself. Yun Che was the owner of the Parallel Space, which made him qualified to fight against Xuan Tian in this world. And once he made it, Gao Wei wouldn't be a threat at all. However, Xuan Tian wouldn't tell Gao Wei any of this because mutant human beings wouldn't survive in his new world as well. Once they became useless, he wouldn't hesitate to destroy them in the first place.
"What? Xing Feng and the army are not here? Then why did Yun Che come here alone? He's asking for death or something?"
Gao Wei wide-opened his golden eyes in surprise, and his vertical pupils looked horrifying that way. Xuan Tian had no intention to explain to him, so the shadow faded, "Tell your toys to quicken their paces. I can't wait any longer. Now that you think Yun Che is not a threat to you, wish you luck."
After speaking, the shadow disappeared. His soul had come out frequently in the past few days and he couldn't hold long.
"Humph!"
"Once I take charge of China, you won't be able to live, either!"
Gao Wei glared at the spot where the shadow stood just now and thought so. Thanks to Xuan Tian, he got a new arm and made great progress on the research of mutant human beings. It was fair to say that Xuan Tian was the reason why the Northeast Base had become so prosperous. But that was also the reason why Gao Wei couldn't let him live. Once Xuan Tian was useless, he would make sure to kill him first.
