Gao Wei was standing on the wall with some generals at the front gate of the Northeast Base, and two mutant human beings stand at both sides. Inside the city, survivors were furious, yelling for him to give them an explanation. On the city wall, soldiers were not as resolute as they usually were, darting suspicious looks at them. Outside the city, tens of millions of the soldiers of Peak Army were standing far away, and there were also shouts coming from the pits nearby. Gao Wei was now besieged on all sides, and God knew how hard he tried to remain calm.
"Please don't call me that. Didn't I treat you well? But how did you repay us? Gao Wei, don't be freaking disgusting. Do you dare to come and fight with me? If you win, I will immediately withdraw my troops and never set foot in the northeast again in my life. But if you lose, I'll kill you and everyone in your family.
As he slowly ascended to midair, Yun Che placed a hand behind his back, glancing coldly at Gao Wei. Although he was some distance away, he could still clearly see Gao Wei's state. His golden pupils were so conspicuous that Yun Che frowned with mockery. By turning himself into a mutant human being in the research of mutant human beings, Gao Wei was not just a maniac, but an idiot. There were so many ways to gain strength, but no one could take shortcuts. If one gained strength by the bloodiest and the most brutal way, he was no longer a human, so what did he need that kind of strength for?
Most importantly, the strength he gained was not the best nor the strongest!
"I don't understand. When we parted years ago, you and Xing Feng took me home personally, right? What are you doing today? If I've offended you in anyway, please forgive me and don't threaten me with the lives of millions of survivors in the Northeast Base."
Gao Wei had clenched his fists behind his back, but he was still displaying an amiable smile. Those who were not clear about the situation might believe that there were some misunderstandings between the two. Gao Wei was not stupid. As Yun Che was able to destroy his research center in a day, he might be stronger than his imagination. Since the army of mutant human beings were not with him, he should avoid a direct confrontation with Yun Che, or else he would be the one suffering.
As long as he admitted nothing and kept the army and people under control, when his army of mutant human beings arrived, it was hard to say who would be the winner.
"I've seen shameless people, but you're still exceeding my imagination. Do you really think no one knows about those shady businesses you did in the capital?"
Superfunction possessors of sound stopped at Yun Che's hint. Zhou Zeyu, who no longer needed to cooperate, flew towards Yun Che using his superfunction of wind, "Che, I used to think Heiyu was the most thick-skinned person in the world, and no one will ever beat him in this regard. I finally know today that no matter how good you think you are, there is always someone out there that is better. There is indeed someone more shameless."
"He is not shameless. He just doesn't dare to admit what he has done over the years. Has he done anything good these years? Admitting one of the dirty deeds he has done, his position as the base commander would be threatened, let alone admitting to all."
Yun Che turned to reply to him. The two seemed to be chatting and didn't even lower their voices, and they even used their internal force to make their conversation heard by everyone in the base. Gao Wei's face twitched. God knew how hard he was trying to keep calm. He told himself that Zhou Zhijun had already been notified and they would soon arrive. Once they were here, he would kill all of these people to vent his anger!
"Brother-in-law."
"Stop calling me that. I'm so disgusted. Gao Wei, just answer me. Dare you fight with me?"
Yun Che interrupted the moment Gao Wei opened his mouth, and the Sky Blade that appeared out of thin air generated countless light blades in mid-air in front of Yun Che. Such a delicate man now looked haughty and cold, as if he was a general with shining spears and armored horses.
"Who in China does not know that Captain Yun is the strongest superfunction possessor? You mean to kill me by asking me to fight with you."
After a short while of silence, Gao Wei finally gave up calling him brother-in-law, and the fake smile on his face disappeared. Then Yun Che smiled in a sarcastic way, "Didn't you say that mutant human beings are unrivaled in the world? You are a mutant human being as well, aren't you? This being the case, why don't you dare to fight with me? Or are you stalling to wait for your reinforcement? If you are waiting for the army of mutant human beings you sent to attack the Coast last night, then I suggest you stop waiting. They are now in a pitched battle with hundreds of thousands of superfunction possessors of the Coast and southwest!"
The reason why Gao Wei was here stalling them was to wait for the return of his army of mutant human beings. Yun Che was amazed that Gao Wei believed that was some knowledge no one else knew. He would not waste any time chatting with him if Fei Ye and Xing Feng's army had arrived.
"What?!"
At that, Gao Wei subconsciously roared, and he immediately realized that he was losing control, so he lowered his eyes to conceal how shocked he felt. Never in his dream would he think that the Southwest Army also went to reinforce the Coast. How could they be so fast? Why didn't Zhou Zhijun tell him? However, his army of mutant human beings were, they were not going to beat superfunction possessors of two bases because they would feel tired!
"Haha. You don't really think I will foolishly fall into your trap every time, do you? Gao Wei, you're smart. I'll give you that. You have so many vicious ways to harm people. But you are just cocky. We fell into your trap the last time because we didn't treat you as our enemy. But you've tried to victimized us for so many times, how can you not expect us to be prepared? We are not those superfunction possessors of the Northeast Base that are at your mercy."
His response showed that he still had no idea about the mobilization of armies of southwest and the capital. Yun Che was full of mockery.
"Captain Yun, you don't have to spread blatant lies here. Our superfunction possessors of Northeast Base are not idiots and they will not buy your lies."
Gao Wei was still trying hard to suppress his shock and anger. A middle-aged general in his forties, who looked a bit similar to Gao Wei, retorted, his face livid. Thanks to Yun Che, the base was in chaos, and no one had ever bullied them like this.
"You know whether I am lying or not. Every base values superfunction possessors. But the Northeast Base is such an outlier that superfunction squads have to fight for the tasks issued by Superfunction Association. Is that hungry marketing? As we all know, hungry marketing means to stimulate buyers so sellers can sell more products and make the products more attractive. But what do you need hungry marketing for? To drive out superfunction squads? How can you benefit if all superfunction squads leave?"
Yun Che's series of questions left them speechless, and he didn't intend to give them a chance to argue, so he took a breath and continued, "It's really a coincidence that some time ago I was caught by one of your mutant human beings as a donor into the research center of mutant human beings you built in the deep mountains. I met two people there and they told me they used to be members of the tenth-ranked squad of the Superfunction Association of Northeast Base. They told me you didn't issue tasks so as to force them to leave. Once they leave the base, they'll be captured and delivered by your mutant human beings to the research center and you intend to turn them all into mutant human beings. Am I right?"
"Bullshit!"
The moment Yun Che's words fell, the middle-aged general immediately retorted. Zhou Zeyu, who had been silent for a while, mocked, "Again, you just deny it? Then tell me, why are you withholding the tasks and not issuing them? Che is right. All the major bases treat superfunction possessors as their prestigious guests. Even if there are no more tasks to collect supplies, they will issue some tasks to hunt high-level zombies or mutant beasts to meet the needs of the superfunction possessors, so they'll stay and help them defend the base. Why the hell are you guys doing the opposite?"
"We are free to run the base in our own way and we don't owe you any explanation,"
The middle-aged officer glared at them angrily. As the two sides argued with each other, dawn approached. Ye Xingchen, Jiang Shang, Meng Gang and Meng Xu who were away to set up arrays returned, while Fei Ye and Chenchen still hadn't returned.
"Brother, Xing and the others are just ten kilometers away."
Yun Cheng stepped on the space domain and stood next to Yun Che. The latter nodded, "It's about time that Fei Ye and Chechen return. Send Feng an email and tell them to come here at full speed. Let's prepare for the battle."
"Okay."
Yun Cheng turned around and joined the team. Yun Che looked up at Gao Wei who was standing on the city wall, "Words don't justify anything. You're well aware whether you have done those things. It seems that it is clear that Base Commander Gao has sent mutant human beings to attack the Coast Base. Let's forget about our personal feud for now. Don't you know that the base commander of the Coast Base is my brother? Since you've attacked the Coast Base, it is fair for me to attack the Northeast Base, right? Base Commander Gao, I'll give you five more minutes. If you still refuse to fight with me, I'll consider that you've accepted our challenge and we'll immediately attack the Northeast Base."
Having finished his words in a cold tone, Yun Che didn't care how they would react. He nodded at Zhou Zeyu and both of them returned to the pit.
"Survivors of the Northeast Base, listen to us. Peak has no intention to kill you. If you want to live, just retreat to the rear of the base. If you stay here, we'll consider that you are determined to share the same fate with Gao Wei. If our superfunction accidentally hurts you, please don't blame it on us."
"Survivors of Northeast Base…"
After receiving Yun Che's command, the three superfunction possessors of sound started to shout towards the base again. No one was stupid. Although Gao Wei admitted nothing, Yun Che and Zhou Zeyu made a quite reasonable analysis and those people had their own understanding of the situation. Therefore, most of the people bought their story. After hearing the announcement form the superfunction possessors of sound, survivors gathering at the gate of the base retreated. The base commander treated them like slaves, so they had no intention to stay and work themselves to the bone for them. If the Northeast Base no longer existed, they would go to the Capital Base for shelter. Crops grew there and they would certainly have a better life there.
"Base commander, the survivors are all in chaos."
On the city wall, the officers all looked at Gao Wei worriedly. Now it was a mess both inside and outside the base. If he didn't think of something, the Northeast Base was doomed.
"Send more high-level superfunction soldiers to guard the city tower. And the rest of you go to pacify the survivors. Stabilize them first…. How do they still have an army?"
Gao Wei broke off in mid-sentence and suddenly he propped up against the city wall incredulously. He stared and the troops swarming towards them with widened eyes, "Damn, it's Xing Feng. It must be the Xing Army!"
Gao Wei realized that while the southwest sent troops to reinforce the Coast, the capital might also send reinforcement to the northeast. Gao Wei was so furious that he roared. Why were they so fast? Why didn't he receive any news when the enemies had already reached the city gate? What the hell was happening?
