The Capital Base
"Look, here's an email from Che. We need to speed up. Once Gao Wei's plan is ruined, he'll definitely counterattack more fiercely."
In the evening, Xing Feng received the email from Yun Che and then sent it to Gu Mingxuan and other people. Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang had been approved by the Ye and Shu Armies temporarily. As a member of the Ye and Shu families, Ye Xingchen had chosen to give up what should belong to him, which was universally known, but the two armies didn't have absolute trust in him. So Yun Che and his people had Chen Yu stay in Section D for the time being who would build channels to the Ye and Shu families at night. In this way, they could get the two families out tonight and the Xing and Mo families, probably tomorrow. By then, something might happen.
"Gao Wei has totally lost his mind."
Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but curse who had been composed and others pulled long faces after reading the email.
"F*ck him!"
Chu Haoling tossed the half-eaten apple away out of anger, which was completely out of the question for a super foodie. It could be seen how furious Chu Haoling was. Peak only found the Northeast Base ruthless and what they had done unacceptable while Chu Haoling and his fellows felt more of anger. After all, they had been the top-notch soldiers in the country which they had shed blood and sweat while guarding with their lives. Even though they were no longer soldiers and wouldn't protect the country desperately with no other intentions, they wanted to tear Gao Wei apart after seeing what he had done and planned.
"He's lost his mind ever since he started to study mutant humans. Nothing he does will be surprising."
Not feeling outraged as they apparently did, Xing Feng was much calmer. "Wenqing, send the email to all generals and ask them to spread the situation of the Northeast Base. Tell the people outside this. If they refuse to realize their mistakes, they will end up like the survivors of the Northeast Base tomorrow. Also, don't forget to send the email to all major base commanders. Let them know what kind of person they are going to cooperate with. If they don't mind becoming that person's puppets, we don't need to worry for them."
The news about the future integration of the space and this world by Yun Che had been spread. The Capital Base had been rather hilarious today. Some people thought Yun Che and his people were liars and that Yun Che used the stalling tactics because he couldn't handle the joint coercion of all major forces. Some people chose to believe them. If possible, who wouldn't wish to go back to the peaceful era? Most people were impartial, waiting to see how things would develop.
In the meantime, those generals spread the news to the agents they had put in the bases and asked them to spread the news to all major bases by all means. It didn't matter even if they had to reveal themselves. It was a must to inform the whole nation of the news at the fastest speed that Yun Che was working hard for the sake of all human beings.
"Yes, it's sent."
Being brothers for years, Wenqing had done that even before Xing Feng told him to do so.
"Boss, do we need to urge Section D or just get Chen Yu back?"
It consumed remarkable superfunctions to build space channels. Even Chen Yu had reached level 8 with the help of the nutrition made by Tan Weiye and Yun Che, Chen Yu could only build two channels to the Shu and Ye families at one night. The channels didn't seem long but the people needed to save not only the two families but the relatives of the generals in the whole yard, which was as huge a project as making spider webs. Now that things had changed, they couldn't take any risks. They must save the old men as soon as possible.
"No, I'll go to Section A tonight. Let's just save the Ye and Shu families first. The two armies need them as their leaders. If anything happens to the families, Xingchen may not be able to control the armies. Chances are we would lose the four squads too."
Xing Feng pondered for a while before shaking his head. If anyone was missing, the six major families would strengthen vigilance even if they knew nothing about the space channels. Men-to-men defence might work. It would be quite difficult for them to save people with the space channels. Xing Feng was also concerned about the old men, but it was doubtlessly more valuable to save the Ye and Shu families than to save the old men.
For a general, it was not appropriate to focus on his own interests. He must look at the big picture and make decisions based on it.
"Alright. If possible, go to my house and ask my mom to rest assured. She must be out of her mind, taking care of the family alone."
Gu Mingxuan took a deep breath. The Gu family wasn't large but there were over 10 people. The women and children of the Gu family were probably terribly frightened at home alone, with all men outside.
Hearing that, other people also turned to Xing Feng. Most of them were actually the heirs of soldiers and most of their families lived in the capital, whose situation was similar to that of Gu Mingxuan. What was different was that the masters of the families were in the capital. That was a little better than the Gu family, just a little better.
"Okay."
Xing Feng nodded and then checked the time on his watch. "It's just 9. I'll leave at 12. You guys should take turns to rest."
They had better take some rest if it was possible, even though they could stay up for days and nights.
"It's early. Haoling, give me a box of meal from your space. Forgot to eat at night."
"Sure. Like it or not, I only have fruit."
Chu Haoling rummaged out a big basket of fruit and pushed it to Zhao Gang. Chu Haoling took one fruit and bit it. Zhao Gang rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Really? Don't think we don't know this. After we had decided to split up and take actions, you asked Yao to make many lunch boxes for you. Does it kill to give me one of them?"
"No, but I'll be starving."
Chu Haoling grinned, feeling totally perfunctory. How many meals could Yao cook for him in just a few days? Just dozens of them. They didn't know when they would assemble. The meals weren't even enough to feed him, so he refused to share with others.
"Oh, jeez!"
Zhao Gao was rendered speechless. Their brotherhood was actually defeated by a box of meal. It was in vain that Zhao Gang had cared about Chu Haoling for so many years.
"Fine, you're always a trouble. Wait here. I'll ask the chef to make you spicy noodles."
"I don't eat spicy food!"
Seeing him really stand up, Zhao Gang yelled angrily and then left him alone. Zhao Gang picked up a pear and took a big bite. The next second, a box of hot meal was pushed to his front. Zhao Gang raised his head and saw Chu Haoling's painful face as Chu Haoling said, "Just this one. I'm telling you. Don't ever think about my lunch boxes again. Eat timely, okay?"
"Do you think I'm a kid?"
Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Zhao Gang decisively dumped the pear and opened the box to eat.
"Give me one. I didn't even have lunch."
"Me too."
"Give me one."
"I…"
"What the hell are you guys doing? Robbing me? Jiang Shan, I member you've had dinner already."
Seeing that, other people asked for food successively. Chu Haoling instantly jumped off the ground and got away from them. "Dang it! I shouldn't have given Zhao Gang the food," thought Chu Haoling. If he gave food to all of them, his stocking would immediately reduce by one third. No, he wouldn't let that happen.
"You shouldn't have taken out the food. I get hungry again, seeing Gang eating so happily, can't I?"
Jiang Shan, who had been mentioned, didn't feel embarrassed. Yao's food was delicious and dinner started at six p.m. sharp in the army. It was already 9 p.m., how wouldn't he feel hungry to see Gang eating?
"Endure if you're hungry. I haven't eaten either."
Worrying the food wasn't enough before the gathering day, Chu Haoling only ate one box. When Chu Haoling caught sight from the corner of his eyes of Xing Feng busy working with the computer, Chu Haoling suddenly said, "Why not ask Feng to make some food for you?"
Feng was no worse than Yao in terms of cooking. If Feng cooked, Chu Haoling could also enjoy the food.
"What?"
Xing Feng raised his head and smiled slightly. "No problem. I can only cook spicy food, the spiciest one. If you don't mind, I'll cook for you. There are a few hours to go before 12 anyways."
"Uh…"
His words disappointed everyone. They could imagine how spicy his food would be since he had a creepy taste of flavor. If they really ate the food, they might do nothing tonight but suffer from stomachaches.
"Are you chatting with Che?"
Yu Wenqing sitting beside him changed the subject. They could eat a little slightly spicy food but not the super spicy one. Plus, Feng had obviously said that on purpose. In the past, which time had he cooked not because of Yun Che? Other people could eat Xing Feng's food only because of Yun Che. Now, Yun Che was not around them. They wouldn't have a chance to enjoy Xing Feng's food. Even Xing Feng himself wouldn't possibly bother to have decent meals.
"OK, are you sure about that?"
Xing Feng nodded as he took a glance at everyone around.
"No, no, no… We don't want to bother you."
"Haoling has the lunch boxes. Don't worry about us, boss."
"Yeah, you'd better have some rest for you'll go to Section A later."
"Yeah…"
Seeing that, Shen Rui and other people waved their hands together, not wishing to ruin their stomachs.
"I want one too."
Xing Feng couldn't spare Chu Haoling for setting him up, could he?
"Ah?"
Chu Haoling yelled weirdly, his shoulders dropping. His evil plan failed and he even had to pay for it. But since Feng said that, Chu Haoling would be attacked if he turned Feng down. Chu Haoling rummaged out several lunch boxes with huge resentment and put them onto the table. "Here you are. That's all I got. D*man it. Why don't you ask Yao to cook for you?"
D*mn it! Those defrauders just knew to squeeze his poor food storage.
Everyone picked up the lunch boxes and looked at each other, saying at the same time, "Because we know you'll have food."
Alright, there was no better reason than that one.
"Up yours."
Chu Haoling glowered at them furiously. He took out another box of meal and ate it angrily. He made up his mind to finish all the food as soon as possible so that they couldn't blackmail him again. They just had no humanity at all.
"Haoling, can you not just eat and use your brain?"
Seeing the brothers having fun, Xing Feng thought it was to time relax after a day of tensions. He looked at Chu Haoling opposite, eating the food.
"Ah?"
Focused on eating, Chu Haoling raised his head blankly. Xing Feng gave him a look, saying that you were helpless. "Yao is Mingxuan's wife. Do you think it possible that she wouldn't prepare food for Mingxuan?"
If no one had mentioned Yao, Xing Feng wouldn't have said that. Since Chu Haoling had asked Yao to make food for him, she would have definitely made one for Gu Mingxuan.
"Boss, you're betraying us."
"Oh, right. How stupid I am! How can I forget that?"
Gu Mingxuan and Chu Haoling spoke almost at the same time. However, one put on a resigned look while the other smiled happily. In an instant, Chu Haoling ran to Gu Mingxuan, holding the lunch box and said, "Mingxuan, it's not right to eat alone. You should learn to share, okay? Hurry. Share Yao's yummy food with us."
"F*ck off!"
"Haha…"
How dare Chu Haoling talk about sharing? Gu Mingxuan directly snapped at him, making others laugh like crazy. The whole day of tensions was completely eased.
