No Time Like the Present

When the six prominent families found out that the Yes and the Shus had all disappeared, they reached the Xing family but failed to break through the border Xing Feng had built. Xuan Tian didn't interrupt this time. On the morning of the third day, Xing Feng and his subordinates rescued all their families together. For this reason, officers at all levels of the two armies were even more grateful to Xing Feng, and none of them had any intention to rebel.

Xing Feng didn't withdraw the border after leaving for fear that the six prominent families might ruin their places out of rage. Scarce resources in doomsday were too valuable to waste. They would like to keep them intact so that the houses and the things inside might be used in the future.

The six big families became the underdogs within three days because the government claimed to be on Xing Feng's side. As the president, Wang Qiang announced the news after everything was settled. It seemed like Yun Che made the right decision to help the Wangs and the Weis win the president at a high price. Wang Qiang didn't fail them.

In the following days, as the two parties entangled and fought, the news that Xing Feng asked to tell had spread on many bases as well. Although many people doubted the rumor they heard, most of them still chose to believe because the hardships they experienced after doomsday had faded their guts and patience. They wanted to believe that Yun Che was saving them.

That was how rumors worked. People preferred to believe what they thought and refused what had failed their ears and eyes. Gradually, the previous rumor about Yun Che selfishly kept the space for his own use was broken. Meanwhile, after Yu Wenqing sent the emails, the base commanders dropped the idea of forming a league. Whether Gao Wei was up to steal the high-level superfunction possessors or not, they would instead be left alone. Besides, what Yun Che was about to do did them good to hold still.

Watching Xing Feng resolving the perfect plan Gao Wei had made, the latter burned his house in a great rage. Later, he ordered his mutants to plunder more superfunction possessors. He even issued fake missions to lure out ordinary people in the Northeast Base to achieve that goal. Once zombies bit them, those who survived and got superfunctions would be directly sent to the research center. In this way, the population in the Northeast Base was deducted sharply, and the place turned into a miserable purgatory.

One day about half a month later, Yun Che, Fei Ye, and several significant bases all received a message at the same time that the Central China base became history. Since the heavy snowstorm after doomsday, the Central China Base had survived tense population, high-level zombies, and repeated zombie sieges. But this time, it vanished before sending an SOS message. It happened so fast that the rest didn't feel real.

It wasn't until Yun Che resent the message from the research center did the rest know that the Central China Base was massacred not by the zombies but by the mutants sent by the Northeast Base. Xing Feng sent the news to all the base commanders, informing them to be careful. At the same time, through the satellite networks, he developed a plan with Yun Che and Fei Ye to ruin the research center.

"We don't have time to delay. It has to be practiced now."

Since Gao Wei had launched attacks toward the rest bases, it was only a matter of time before he destroyed them one after another. They wouldn't know how crazy Gao Wei was if they did not see so many superfunction possessors being sent to the research center.

"The Central China Base is the weakest one among the seven. Gao Wei is testing the rest through this. If the fives bases didn't see through his trick, he would possibly quicken his pace to invade them. Achieving such a decisive victory just gave us a perfect chance to attack him."

A group of people gathered in front of a square table in the space, observing several three-dimensional maps before them. Thanks to Yun Che's hard work in the past two weeks, he had marked some spots red. Under Fei Ye's guidance, he wandered around the entire research center, including the sewers, and now it was time for their harvest.

"When shall we start?"

Finally, it was time to start this war. Like everyone else, Yun Cheng couldn't wait to finish this as soon as possible because it was about to be bloody and ruthless.

"How many energy cannons and new crystal nuclear explosives do we have?"

Yun Che didn't answer but asked. To destroy the research center, they had to be fully prepared, or what they had done recently would be in vain. Staying here for half a month had made Yun Che feel disgusted. He couldn't accept a failure no matter what.

"We have eight energy cannons, more than enough high-level crystal nuclei, and about 300 crystal nucleus bombs. The research laboratory has completely stopped other research and development from making more for us."

The energy cannon was modified by Kong Yanjun and his partners based on the energy gun. The ammunition was a crystal core containing great violent energy, and the hardness of the material must be the same as that of stainless steel. They couldn't find so much stainless steel on the earth, but lucky for them, Yun Che had enough in his space. With Heiyu's help, they found a fine steel mine and built eight energy cannons in the shortest time. According to their calculation, the energy cannons could withstand at least the violent energy of the level 4 crystal nucleus. Since the energy gun of the first-level crystal core could cause damage to the third and fourth-level zombies, that of the fourth-level crystal core could at least severely damage the zombies of the seventh or eighth level, even the ninth level. Besides, the crystal nucleus could at least contain a crystal nucleus of level-4, which was just a conservative estimate.

The nucleus bomb was a bomb made with nuclei. Actually, the research had started two years ago. However, since nucleus bombs must be activated by the power of the nucleus or the nucleus itself, Yun Che and his team dropped the idea because they might be blown up once they performed their superfunctions. This time, however, was totally different. They were about to take the research center, which meant the crystal bombs would significantly help their mission, so Yun Che told them to quicken their paces.

"Meng Xu, call the research room and tell them I want 400 crystal-nuclear bombs before seven o'clock tonight no matter what."

A hundred for a district. That was more powerful than they could imagine.

"Got it."

Meng Xu took out his phone and made the call immediately. At the same time, Yun Che picked up the pencil, stared at the map, and said, "No time is like the present. Let's do it and ruin this damn place tonight. But before that, I got a very significant work for you, Heiyu."

"What?"

Heiyu didn't expect a new mission to himself. Sitting on Yun Che's shoulder while eating the energy stick, he asked blankly, "What am I supposed to do outside without divine power? Do you want me to tell my old man to withdraw the array he made outside the space?"

In fact, Heiyu had long wanted Xuan Po to do that. But on second thought, once the two spaces emerged, he would be a guarding divine beast of the place and be able to use his divine power. But at the same time, he wouldn't have many chances to see Xuan Po anymore.

"Yes and no. I do need you to find him, but I want you to help stall Xuan Tian instead of telling him to withdraw the array."

Putting him on the table, Yun Che looked him in the eye and continued, "If I'm about to teach Gao Wei a real lesson this time, Xuan Tian should be out of this. Go to the sea and tell your father to keep Xuan Tian busy as long as possible. Once we finished destroying the research center, it will be his turn to face his destiny. As long as he got rid of the array, we'll be there fighting against him."

This wasn't their plan before. After all, Yun Che wanted to ruin every piece of land in the research center.

"You mean, building a giant array in the exploding area to form a border to prevent all possible rescue forces?"

Fei Ye raised his eyebrows, thinking that was a good idea. By doing so, those in the Northeast Base could do nothing but see the research center being damaged in front of them.

"Yeah, and I need your help on this. Let's get out of here later and set the array first. Once we are prepared at night, we'll start it immediately."

Yun Che nodded. He was really pissed off this time. The only flaw of this plan was they wouldn't be able to save those superfunction possessors who hadn't been transformed before the action, and they became collateral damage this time. Death was a gift to some extent because none of them would wish to be turned as a monster.

"Anything you say, boss."

Fei Ye smiled evilly and charmingly and wasn't annoyed that Yun Che changed the plan out of the blue. As long as this was what Yun Che wanted, he would do it.

"All right. Heiyu, once we are out later, find a way to the nearest sea area by yourself. Be careful not to let the mutants take you back for research."

"Damn you, man. Am I so useless in your eyes?"

Rolling his eyes against Yun Che, Heiyu bit his energy stick as if he was biting Yun Che.

"Just kidding. Yuyu, be a good boy, and don't be mad at me."

Covering Heiyu's head and rubbing lovingly, Yun Che then ordered seriously, "The mission will start at seven in the evening. And I want all of you to be prepared by then. Before midnight, Cheng and Fei Ye will be responsible for Section A and B, while Yehan and I for Section C and D. All the crystal nuclear bombs should be set at those red marks on the map. We'll meet at the entrance and exit of Section B. After midnight, Fei Ye and I will set the energy cannons outside the base. By then, you will be in pairs with your own squads. All eight energy cannons will be used to bombard the research center from four directions. And I want you to use every piece of it and bomb this place all day and night."

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone on the scene unanimously agreed in excitement. They had waited for this moment for too long.

"Now dismiss and get ready. Remember to take your computers in your space containers. We will be far apart during the war, and emails will be our only way to contact."

There were always emergencies during their battles, and nobody could predict all the possibilities. All they could do was to prepared fully so that they could react quickly and reduce casualties.

"Known and done. We still need some time with the map."

As they spoke, they started studying the map again, mainly the terrain map around the research center. There was no need for them to check the inside because Yun Che and Fei Ye wouldn't fail since they worked separately.

"Take your time, gentlemen. I'll take Fei Ye and Heiyu out first. Cheng, Yehan, get ready at seven o'clock."

Yun Che stood up. The success of the plan depended on their actions.

"Rest assured, bro. Be careful out there, especially you, Heiyu. Without using divine power, you may feel hard to fight."

Yun Cheng looked up at them. Now that they were taking the last step, nobody needed to be hurt.

"Don't worry."

Yun Che nodded and then disappeared with the two. Yun Cheng turned to join the rest and continued their study. Forbearing for more than half a month, they had to strike a heavy blow to destroy the research center and ruin Gao Wei's dream!
