Qing base is one of the three big bases since the apocalypse started. It has numerous resources and a lot of extraordinary ability users as its hunters. It has a thick and tall wall circling the enormous base, protecting it from the outside world, with two gates as an entrance. The gates was guarded with various ability users. It's not an exaggeration to say the Qing base had a great defense.
But that defense holds no strength in front of someone who knows it's in and out. Yichen, the former ace of the base, dismantled its defense mechanism easily.
Yichen looked at the chaos he caused, a bit guilty. But when he remembered how they treat him, that little guilt quickly disappeared. His team ran to him, reporting, "Leader, the gate has been breached! We can go in now!"
Yichen nodded, then instructed the others to follow him. When they reached inside, Yichen witnessed the chaos all over the base. Not only people from his team but there's also the residence of the base mixed in, creating chaos everywhere.
Feng Yun explained, "Our ally is also inside the base. They have received the captain's order and have waited for us. The group's name is 'the Humanity Federation,' and you can use them however you like."
"We also have such allies in every other base, sir."
Feng Yun smiled flawlessly under Yichen's eyes. Hearing that Haoyu has eyes and feet in every single base made Yichen a bit scared of him. As if sensing Yichen's little fear, Feng Yun said, "Sir, your position is higher than the captain. You can use them all without the captain's permission. You can even use the captain himself and he won't complain."
That guy is a complete simp.
That last part was continued in his heart. Feng Yun showed a bright and flawless smile, hiding his mocking of Haoyu in his heart.
"..."
That's... convincing.
The man's silly actions flashed before his mind and Yichen's tense muscles relaxed. When he remembered that the man was his husband, his uneasiness cleared up. A faint, but sweet smile appeared on his face. When Feng Yun saw it, he knew that he had succeeded in his mission.
"Ugh! Let go!"
"Don't you know who I am?!"
"How dare you-! Agh!"
The struggles catch Yichen and Feng Yun's attention. When they looked at the source, they saw 3 people struggling under the restraint of Yichen's teammates. At the same time, the crystal in Feng Yun's pocket vibrated as it glowed. Feng Yun stepped a bit far from Yichen before connecting the call.
"Yes, captain."
A low and cold voice sounded from the crystal in Feng Yun's hand.
"You're in the Qing base?"
"Yes! Do you have an order?"
"..."
The voice seemed to pause for a while, then said, "Qing Ruhuan, Qing Yue, and Chu Yang. Arrest them and pass them to Jian's team."
Jian's... team?
Feng Yun subconsciously looked at the men struggling not far away, they seemed a bit disheveled. Then he shivered.
Jian's team is the captain's special team tasked to take care of traitors and people who the captain targets. They usually look like a normal team... No, on the contrary, they seemed to be a team full of air-headed people who smiled and cheerful all day long. But when on a mission, their way of working will make you tremble and have a nightmare for seven days straight.
For these people to be specifically ordered by the captain to be tossed to that team... Just what crime did they do???
"Feng Yun...?"
The atmosphere seems to be colder than before. Feng Yun quickly answered, "Yes, captain! I'll get it done!"
"Good."
The atmosphere seems to lighten a bit. Then the voice continued, "Also... when you go to the R base, toss their leader to Jian's team too."
"Y-yes! As you command!"
After hearing his answer, the call disconnected. Feng Yun let out his breath. He hugged himself, still feeling cold and scared. A few minutes passed and Feng Yun finally calmed down. He quickly walked to Yichen and said to the people who restrained the Qing son and father, and Chu Yang.
"Those three guys, tie them up. We'll bring them to our base."
Yichen asked, "Is it Haoyu?"
"Yes," Feng Yun nodded, "Captain called and said we have to bring these guys to our base."
Facing Yichen's puzzled eyes, Feng Yun shook his head, saying he also didn't know the reason. Qing Ruhuan glared at Yichen.
"You! You ungrateful bastard! Is this how you pay us after taking you in and raising you?!"
"We raised you for so long and the moment you come back, you bit the hand that feeds you! Bastard! I should have killed you long ago!"
Insults and hurtful words were hurled towards Yichen. Feng Yun's brain suddenly exclaimed, ah, and he suddenly knew why Haoyu had given such commands to him before. The more these guys insult and harm Yichen, the heavier the punishment they'll face later. He silently turns on the recorder in his pocket and watches their performance with an observant mentality.
"Yichen... do you really want to do this? Do you really want to become my enemy?"
Qing Yue asked through his gritted teeth, looking at that face with hatred mixed with complicated emotions. The man who was usually below him, following him around, and listening to all his orders... the man who begged for his attention silently actually dared to become his enemy? He can't accept this. There's no way he can accept this!
"Yichen...!"
Yichen was silent. He watched them yelling at him, accusing him, and hurling insults towards him. But he was unmoved. When they stopped and breathed heavily, out of breath, Yichen let out his first word.
"Bring them to the car."
After giving that order, he walked past them indifferently.
Feng Yun blows a whistle. He's satisfied with his captain's wife's attitude. He looked at the three devastated people and laughed, "Alright, to the car you go!" He instructed the others to drag them to the car, then followed Yichen.
They checked all the buildings and took everything valuable. Even humans are not spared. They took all the ability users who seemed to be useful and stored them all in the container trucks. The trucks and a few cars were set for their journey back to the base, while Yichen and the main members of the team went to the next base. They'll reunite with their teams waiting there.
They did the same thing to the other bases. Ransacking them all until they're empty, then set on their journey back to their base.
