Grandmaster “Cook”

In the end, Yun Che and Fei Ye slept together. Of course, they only slept on the same bed. Even if Fei Ye always said things about flirting with Yun Che, he behaved well all night. After Yun Che was asleep, he turned to stare at him for a very long time as if he was trying to curve every detail of Yun Che's face into his mind.

"What are you doing?"

All the superfunction possessors were sensitive. Before Yun Che opened his eyes, he heard noises outside. He yawned and went to the kitchen but found Fei Ye in a chef's suit, busy with all kinds of pots. Beside him, Yun Che saw something like eggs on two plates. But the stuff in the pot was too dark to be recognized.

The noises got louder when Fei Ye heard Yun Che's voice. The latter couldn't help twitching his face. After a while, Fei Ye sighed pitifully, "I'm supposed to make you breakfast. Now that it's ruined, would you like to eat some instant noodles? I promise I'm a grandmaster chef on this."

Rumors reached Fei Ye's ears that Xing Feng always cooked for Yun Che, so Fei Ye decided to cook something based on the recipe, but the result was so embarrassing. His hands could operate the most sophisticated weapons but failed to work on the pots and ingredients. All this time, Fei Ye believed he only lost Yun Che because he met him later than Xing Feng, but now, he just figured out that Xing Feng was a better cook.

"Shall we make it work together?"

Wearing slippers, Yun Che went into the kitchen, "To be honest, I don't know how to cook, either. All I can do is cook the ingredients, which I learned in my previous life. The taste was never my concern. Sometimes I simply put the meat into the water and boil it with rice. As long as they are cooked, I'll eat even if there are no seasonings. That's already luxurious for me."

After rebirth, he never lacked supplies, and his sister and aunts were very good at cooking. If he hadn't seen Fei Ye doing this today, he would have forgotten the hardships he had in his previous life.

"Life must be hard at that time, right?"

Staring at him with emotions for a long time, Fei Ye asked in a low voice. Deep in his eyes, feelings were showing that he pitied Yun Che for what he had suffered.

"Well, yeah. I didn't know my sister and other families' situations at that time, so I was very motivated."

Yun Che nodded and washed the pot in the sink, "Why are you standing there? Clean up the mess you made, will you?"

"Sure."

Taking back his gaze, Fei Ye performed his superfunction of wind, gathered all the garbage, and threw them into a bag. Yun Che then took out a lot of ingredients from his space. Staring at them for a while, Yun Che took out two bags of two packets of instant noodles, "Well, let's start with the simplest kind."

He could easily cook all the vegetables he had, but the flavor wasn't guaranteed.

"Allow me."

Fei Ye chuckled, took over the noodles, and then two ham sausages, a handful of pak choi, and a few spring onions, "You can take away the rest."

"OK."

Yun Che nodded and made the rest disappear. Fei Ye took out a knife from his space container to remove the outer coat of the ham, while Yun Che picked up the pak choi and got it cleaned. At the same time, he added half a pot of water to the pot.

"You don't know how to cook, but your knife skills are nice."

When Yun Che saw the sliced ham after turning back, he praised Fei Ye subconsciously, but he regretted it before hearing the answer.

"Well, I practiced it through killing."

As expected, Yun Che got an answer he didn't want to hear. About ten minutes later, the noodles were cooked. Fei Ye sprinkled some chopped green onions on them so that they seemed to be very attractive.

"See? I didn't lie to you about the noodles."

Putting the delicious instant noodles in front of him, Fei Ye said triumphantly. After all, that was the only thing he could handle in the kitchen.

"Haha… hurry to eat it up and take me outside later."

Yun Che couldn't bear his boasting, so he focused on finishing it sooner.

About ten minutes later, they finished breakfast. Before they went out, Fei Ye changed Yun Che's face and gave him a work card and a bracelet, saying they were the assistant's pass. With the two stuff, the mutant human beings and soldiers outside wouldn't embarrass them. But if they intended to go somewhere important, they would have to provide palm prints and iris.

Both the mutants and soldiers managed the security of the research center. Most of the soldiers here are ordinary people and low-level superfunction possessors. Following Fei Ye out of his research building, Yun Che had expanded his horizon after seeing all kinds of mutants and animals. Some even astonished Yun Che, for example, a huge centipede with a human head.

"Rheid mutants were first studied, but the success rate is quite low. As far as I know, there are less than ten of its kind in the base right now. Later, after some experiences, the researchers formally studied mammals, mainly large-scale animals, such as orangutans, tigers, bears, and other wild animals, but poultry such as chickens, ducks, and sheep are not an option. After all, there are so many giant mutant beasts in the jungle."

Yun Che enveloped them with his air panel. Although Fei Ye didn't look at him along the way, he kept introducing the situation here to him. It seemed like he was giving orders to Yun Che, which was quite normal in other's eyes.

"Well, what exactly are the things around their necks?"

Along the way, Yun Che noticed that every mutant beast seemed to have a brand hanging on its neck. Since mutant human beings were generally far away from people, Yun Che couldn't see the words clearly.

"The type, batch number, and other information. Most mutants staying here need to inject drugs every day. To better observe them, the researchers had identity cards on them to learn their information quicker.

Fei Ye told him everything he knew. Yun Che nodded. Sensing something flying above them, Yun Che looked up and found a birdman. Compared with other mutant beasts, he should be considered normal, maintaining a human form but having a pair of dark wings behind it.

"That's made by Dr. Wan, the man I am disguising. There are also many types of mutants. Some look like mutant beasts, while the rest are more like humans. Gao Wei is the latter. You can only tell his difference from his vertical pupils. But he has python scales almost all over his body, which can be seen when he takes off his clothes."

The research directions and topics of each Dr. were slightly different. Some were more advanced, and some were lower-end. Dr. Wan was considered to be more advanced. Most of the mutants he created were more human-like in appearance.

"No matter how much they look like human beings, they are not humans inside."

Yun Che had seen various kinds of creatures in the research center, which was too large that they didn't even finish their tour in a section after two hours. Dr. Wan was the upper class in this place. The patrol soldiers they had encountered along the way had all taken the initiative to greet them. Fei Ye ignored them most of the time because Dr. Wan himself was arrogant.

After wandering for another half an hour, Fei Ye beckoned Yun Che to look at a building not far in front. Many soldiers and mutants were standing at the door, which meant it was a significant place.

"Let's go."

Since Yun Che was here to prepare for their actions afterward, he wouldn't miss any place like this. Fei Ye nodded, "Remove the air panel first and be prepared. What you will see inside this building may be quite horrendous."

Fei Ye himself felt disgusted when first seeing the scene inside as well. Fortunately, he was strong enough to adjust himself within a short time before others realized he was a fake."

"OK."

Removing the air panel, Yun Che followed him to the building.

"Dr. Wan!"

"Dr. Wan!"

Before they got near, the soldiers guarding outside took the initiative to greet him. Fei Ye nodded arrogantly, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and didn't bother to talk to them. In case they might tell any difference, Yun Che kept his head low as if he was a slave. After they swiped their bracelets, the doors slowly opened after Fei Ye put his palm on the sensor.

Cold air leaked from the open door. It seemed that this cultivation room required a low temperature. Yun Che wrote it down secretly and followed Fei Ye inside.

The cultivation room was so huge that they couldn't see the end. The whole place was densely filled with huge glass containers that Yun Che had seen in the cell yesterday. It also contained a thick blue liquid, but the stuff inside seemed to be a bit different. Some looked like internal organs, some had human and animal limbs, but they were all incomplete. Yun Che also saw some meatballs with something wriggling above them. They looked like skinned babies, which were creepy.

"These are mutant human bodies that are being cultivated. Some can be completed through injection; some are sutured first and then soaked in the liquid before completion; some only cultivate part of the donors, either their organs or limbs, which accelerates their growth rate. It only takes a month for them to take shape. Doing this makes sure that the success rate is relatively higher."

After Yun Che's air panel unfolded again, Fei Ye continued to introduce.

"Damn!"

That was all Yun Che could say at the moment. He was in no mood to make any comment. All he knew was that all these people were lunatics, and they were much worse than the bad people Yun Che had met before.

"Let's get out of here."

Seeing that Yun Che couldn't hide his emotions anymore, Fei Ye blocked the camera with his body in case that those monitoring them from the cameras could tell anything abnormal.

"OK, we can continue the tour this afternoon."

Knowing that he couldn't hold this anymore, Yun Che didn't refuse his proposal. Lowering his head to hide his emotions, Yun Che quietly put away the miniature camera hung on his chest when he came in. There was a metal detector at the door, so they would be exposed if he still wore it.

"Are you all right?"

After they were away from the building, Fei Ye asked worriedly. Even if Yun Che kept his head low and Fei Ye couldn't see his expression, he understood how Yun Che felt.

"What do you think?"

Lifting his head, Yun Che wore an impassive expression. Even if he knew Gao Wei had done horrible things in the research center, he was still shocked to see this with his own eyes. Yun Che had never considered himself a good man, but he couldn't help feeling disgusted when seeing the scenes inside. He couldn't imagine how cruel these people were to do such horrible things.

"Let's get back."

Not surprisingly, Fei Ye nudged Yun Che's arm and led him home. They were not good people, and Fei Ye himself was even a ruthless assassin, but they seemed warm-hearted compared to people in this place who had given up their bottom line of being humans.
