Declaration of War

The Capital Base.

"It's been a day. I hope everything is doing well with Che."

Upstairs in Section C, Xing Feng looked ahead at sunset with the howling of zombies aside him. After busy work, Gu Mingxuan came to him and delivered a bottle of mineral water. Thanks to Yun Che, they barely drank beverages and the like anymore. Mostly, their choice was mineral water, and the tea they usually drank was also diluted spring water which was boiled.

"No news is good news."

Twisting the bottle cap and raising his head to take a sip, Xing Feng said in a low voice. It had been a whole day, yet all he got was the email Yun Che had sent in the morning.

"I think so. With at least tens of thousands of people in the research center, they won't be able to kill them all that easily. Tomorrow, we'll know."

Holding his head with both hands on the tower, Gu Mingxuan comforted him. None of them seemed abnormal today, but the truth was they couldn't calm down because nothing could go wrong.

"Captain, the base commander of the Northeast Base sent a video chat request."

A soldier hurried over and reported. Xing Feng and Gu Mingxuan looked at each other, "Let's see what he is up to."

"Let's go."

The two of them were gloomy, wondering what Gao Wei had in mind at this moment.

In the conference room, all the members of Chaoyang were present. On the vast TV wall, Gao Wei, sitting behind the desk, appeared in their sight. Even though they were facing the screen, they could see his golden vertical pupils. The weather was hot, but he still wore a military uniform. One of the hands resting on the table was obviously much smaller than the other.

He had really turned himself into a mutant.

Behind him, there was another person everyone in Chaoyang was familiar with. The man was also in a military uniform. His handsome face was now covered with leopard prints. Besides that, he was no different from human beings. It was Zhou Zhijun who was said to have become the commander-in-chief of Gao Wei's mutants. He was expressionless at the moment, his eyes cold as if he was no longer the one they knew before.

"You don't deserve to wear this outfit anymore."

Through the video link, Xing Feng sat in the main seat and teased Gao Wei. The military uniform on Gao Wei's body was an insult to the clothes and soldiers.

"Whether I deserve it or not, it's up to who is stronger. You know, only the winner got the right to write the history."

Gao Wei looked so confident as if he was about to win, but Xing Feng sneered, "Are you sure you are destined to win? Maybe you are too blind and narrow-minded to see the big picture."

The world was enormous, and the people living in it were challenging. Despite Gao Wei's intelligence, he was too arrogant to realize that not everything could be manipulated. Human hearts were not something he could control. Gao Wei believed that creating the mutants army could help him get to the top of the world, but he wouldn't know if that was what he really wanted. How long could his reign last before he was overthrown? The history of blood had taught people that human beings could always be turned better and stronger when they were forced into desperation. Xing Feng believed that even if they were not here, others would teach Gao Wei a lesson someday.

"What have you done to my research center?"

Hearing this, Gao Wei could no longer wear the fake smile on his face, glaring at Xing Feng and the rest of Chaoyang with hatred. It had been a day, yet all the armies he had sent to locate the research center had reported that the research center was gone. Since Xuan Tian was not answering, Gao Wei could only contact Xing Feng and wish to find some clues through their conversation. After all, he couldn't allow anything to go wrong in the research center.

"As you can see, all of us are here confronting you. What do you think we can do to your research center?"

Compared to his viciousness and anger, Xing Feng was quite casual. Chu Haoling refuted directly, "Could it be you have offended too many people and some of them are trying to ruin you? What a blessing! I wish them luck to destroy your damn research center."

"Haoling, manners."

Gu Mingxuan reminded him smilingly and jokingly. Chu Haoling's eyes rolled, "Well, let's forget the word damn. Mingxuan, you should have stopped me earlier. See, damn is too good a word to describe the center thing. That's a humiliation to this word. I should have shown my respect."

"My bad. I'll remind you earlier next time."

The two of them echoed perfectly, but Gao Wei was so pissed that the snake scales appeared on his face vaguely. Since Xing Feng didn't intend to stop them and the rest didn't restrict themselves to laugh, Gao Wei was stimulated.

"Xing Feng, I'll put it straight then. About twenty days ago, Yun Che appeared in the Northeast Base. Apart from you, who could be so courageous and capable of attacking my research center?"

Gao Wei told himself desperately that he was here to spy on the news, and he could tolerate others' insults. He tried his best to restrain himself and fixed his gaze on Xing Feng.

"This is a big world, and I believe there are so many people who can challenge you. Even your partner Xuan Tian. If he had the will, he could easily make you vanish."

Gao Wei wanted to pump him for information?

Did Gao Wei think Xing Feng was too stupid, or did he consider himself too smart?

"You think your trick would work on me?

Even if Gao Wei was in a great rage, he knew that Xing Feng was trying to hold a grudge between him and Xuan Tian.

"I think you have the answer. Gao Wei, considering our childhood friendship, I'd like to warn you to stop what you are doing, or you will pay for what you did. Your ambition and desire are destined to be bubbles."

Leaning against the chair, Xing Feng was about to stop this meaningless conversation, but Gao Wei suddenly y stood up with his hands on the tabletop, "Good! Now that you are determined to destroy my research center, I believe I can return you the favor. Xing Feng, let's see who will be the winner in the end."

After speaking, Gao Wei cut off their connection. Xing Feng and the rest were dumbfounded, wondering why he threatened them at the end.

"There's no need to hide any secret now. Spread everything we know, and let the six families know what they are doing recently. Remember to add the video clip to the emails."

Gao Wei wasn't stupid, so he surely meant what he had said just now. After a while, Xing Feng figured out what he was up to and then called Mo Wenyang through the satellite phone.

"Um."

Since the entertainment was over, everyone continued their previous work one after another.

"Who's speaking?"

The call went through, but a stranger answered. Xing Feng frowned slightly, "This is Xing Feng speaking. Where is your chief?"

"Master Feng, please hold on. Chief is in a meeting."

No one didn't know Xing Feng in the Southwest Base. The man who answered the call must be Mo Wenyang's confidant. Hearing the running voice on the phone, Xing Feng waited patiently.

"Xing Feng?"

About a minute later, Mo Wenyang's voice sounded. The Southwest Base had developed quite well recently. Regardless of the zombies outside, people inside the base almost lived prosperously. Therefore, as the chief of the base, Mo Wenyang was busy every day.

"Gao Wei tried to test me out. I'm sending you the video."

Since all of them were busy, Xing Feng got to the point directly.

"How did he get time to contact you at this time?"

Mo Wenyang asked jokingly as he opened the video he had just received.

"He might go against the Southwest Base or the Coast Base. So, get prepared."

Gao Wei was definitely declaring war at the end. Therefore, he would only target at the Southwest Base, the Coast Base, or the capital. The rest two bases wouldn't hurt even if Gao Wei attacked them. Therefore, Gao Wei wouldn't waste his time and energy doing something useless.

"If he dares to come, I'll make sure the Southwest Base is where his life will be ended."

Mo Wenyang gritted his teeth as he watched the video. All of them in the Southwest Base had neither loosened their guards nor stopped improving themselves. In fact, after they knew that Yun Che had a secret space, all the soldiers and superfunction squads practiced even more complex instead of making chaos. Even if Yun Che had the space, he had never abandoned them. Without him, none of them could have the chance to enjoy their present lives.

It would be a lie if they said they were not shocked at all when they learned the news. But after that, they knew better that they were on the same side with Yun Che. The latter was always a representative of the Southwest Base in the outside world. Therefore, if Yun Che had to fight against the rest of the world, they would stand by his side, guard his space, and prevent others from stealing it.

The Southwest Base was the most harmonious and united one among the six bases. No matter how they consumed each other at ordinary times, they would shift their aims to the same target when they were under attack.

With people like them, Mo Wenyang was not afraid of the mutants outside. Not all the mutants were level 8 or level 9. Therefore, Mo Wenyang believed they had a chance to win.

"Don't underestimate them. Che said that the mutants in level 7 are as good as superfunction possessors in level 8. We don't know their numbers yet, but if they can erase the Central China Base overnight, I'd say they have enough."

Xing Feng knew the situation in the Southwest Base. But it was never too much to be defensive. The Southwest Base and the Coast Base had to be well protected no matter what.

"I got this. What about the Coast Base? Did you tell Weiye about this?"

After watching the video, Mo Wenyang believed Xing Feng was right about Gao Wei targeting the three bases. Since Xing Feng was in the Capital Base with 11 armies, Gao Wei wouldn't risk attacking him. Therefore, he would turn his guns against the Southwest Base or the Coast Base.

"Mingxuan is calling him."

Xing Feng glanced at Gu Mingxuan. Before he shifted his gaze, Chu Haoling looked over. Xing Feng shook his head with a smile, "Tell our men to send Senior Chen to the Capital Base. We'll be with them if they need any help."

"I'm on it."

Mo Wenyang didn't refuse, knowing Xing Feng was doing this for Chu Haoling, hen he hung up the phone. Wei Kan and Wang Wei had finished watching the video as well, and they all looked solemn. Gao Wei made the threat as if they were Yun Che's weaknesses. That was too humiliating.

"Now that you've watched the video, I'll drop the detailed situation. You all know that Yun Che emailed me this morning, saying that they had started attacking the research center in the Northeast Base. Gao Wei is targeting us because of this, so it's no longer just about Yun Che. Guys, I wish we can jointly be united and resist our enemies together."

Since all the officers and captains were here in the meeting today, Mo Wenyang no longer played idle but said seriously.

"Yes, Captain!"

All the soldiers and superfunction possessors stood up at the same time. Their voice was so loud, as if the conference room was shocked because of them. It was never a one-person fight. Gao Wei had paid too much attention to how capable Yun Che and Xing Feng were, and now was the time for him to pay for being narrow-minded.
