Yang Shize, who was below, leaped up and jumped towards a certain direction on the sea. Zhang Yun then teleported to his side.
The two quickly crossed the tranquil ten-mile stretch of sea and arrived at the edge of the sea where the hurricane and whirlpools blocked the view.
"Brother, be careful. If we go any further, the suction of the seawater will become stronger, and we might be sucked in directly," Yang Shize said, holding him as they floated in the water.
"Hmm." Zhang Yun nodded and released his mental energy to probe the interior of the hurricane.
But his mental strength was quickly scattered by the hurricane.
Zhang Yun tried to concentrate his mental energy into a single line, like a needle piercing out in one direction.
This time, the mental energy probed a greater distance, but it was quickly torn apart by the hurricane again.
Zhang Yun took a deep breath, condensed all his mental energy into a stronger mental thread, and shot it into the hurricane.
Although they were still shattered, their mental energy managed to penetrate the hurricane area and detect the width of the vortex hurricane zone that was blocking their departure—more than 6,500 meters.
The maximum distance that an eighth-order spatial ability can teleport is only five thousand meters.
This means that even if he used teleportation alone, he wouldn't be able to get out, let alone take Yang Shize with him.
"Let's go back first," Zhang Yun said.
Yang Shize nodded, lifted him out of the water, and tossed him into the air. Just as Zhang Yun was about to fall into the sea, he used teleportation several times and arrived directly on the shore. Yang Shize in the water had already swum over quickly.
The two returned to the stone house in the rain, took a shower, and changed their clothes.
The rain outside was pouring down, and the wind was howling outside the car window, accompanied by loud thunder.
Zhang Yun nestled in Yang Shize's arms, the blankets were warm and cozy, and both of them were feeling a little drowsy.
But now is not the time to indulge in the pleasures of love!
Right now, Dongzhou is probably just as chaotic as the weather outside!
We absolutely have to find a way to leave this place. Even if we can't leave, we must try to make contact with the outside world.
Zhang Yun mentally called out to the system, asking if there was any way to help.
“Just now, when you used your mental energy to probe the hurricane zone for the last time, you briefly regained contact with the outside world. I have reactivated your life signal sources and sent a distress signal back to the base. In addition, I received a message from the outside world.”
"What feedback?"
Two lists appeared on the system panel.
The rankings on the two lists have changed dramatically, especially the list for those with superpowers.
Previously, including Zhang Yun, there were only ten seventh-level ability users in the entire world.
But now, more than a dozen seventh-level ability users have suddenly appeared on the list, and all of these ability users belong to Yunze!
Zhang Yun clearly remembered that when he left, everyone's cultivation level was still stuck at the sixth level: Qi Heng, Yun Meng, Yang Yiyi, He Jiajia... they were all only at the sixth level.
How come all these people seem to have grown up overnight?
Although the sixth and seventh ranks may sound like they are only one rank apart, they represent a huge difference between quantitative and qualitative change. Zhang Yun only realized this after crossing the threshold of the seventh rank.
If Yunze Base had so many Tier 7 ability users when Zhang Yun was still around, he could have easily razed the capital to the ground! Why bother sending Yang Shize to infiltrate the capital and endure for so many years?
What exactly happened during the few days that I and Yang Shize disappeared?
System: "Because I was busy sending out distress signals, I forgot to update the information about your advancement to the eighth rank. I'll do it when the signal can be sent out again."
Yes, this system has always been good at identifying key points.
Now that the news that they are still alive and the distress signal have been sent out, it should be able to temporarily calm those with ulterior motives.
Although it's unclear why the superhumans at the base suddenly experienced a collective surge in advancement, it's always a good thing that they've advanced, at least Qi Heng can no longer rule the base single-handedly.
Even now, he still can't understand why Qi Heng betrayed him.
The only way to leave this place right now seems to be to work hard to cultivate his superpower to the ninth level and see if he can teleport Yang Shize across this hurricane area.
Three months passed in arduous training. At first, Zhang Yun was not used to the sudden change from the crisis-ridden apocalypse to the leisurely survival on a deserted island, but now he was getting used to this retired life.
I never imagined that my dream of sitting on the beach with Yang Shize and watching the sunrise and sunset would come true ahead of schedule under these circumstances.
The apocalyptic crisis isn't over yet, and they're already retiring early?
Zhang Yun still maintained a sense of urgency and diligently cultivated every day, while Yang Shize completely began to let things take their course.
Even his cultivation required Zhang Yun's constant coaxing and supervision. Zhang Yun would always ask him for treats and rewards, otherwise he would stop cultivating. This made Zhang Yun so angry that he really wanted to push him into the sea to wash his brain.
Can't you learn from the male protagonists in male-oriented novels who only want to become stronger, rule the world, and protect their families?
This is definitely the most difficult lead actor he has ever managed!
After another three months of training, Zhang Yun still failed to advance.
He had only just advanced to level eight, and he wasn't a protagonist with cheat codes, nor had he encountered any life-or-death crises. How could he possibly advance to the legendary highest realm so quickly?
Looking out the window at the continuous rain, Zhang Yun frowned and sighed.
Yang Shize, however, remained very optimistic.
How could he not be optimistic?
He had been undercover in the capital for four years, and the number of times he met with Zhang Yun each year could be counted on two fingers. During the six months he spent on the island, he finally got his wish and had meat to eat every day. He was extremely happy.
If this guy's mouth could fly, it would be standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun by now.
...
"I have an idea."
That day, after the two finished their meal, they were taking a walk on the beach when Zhang Yun said to Yang Shize.
“We previously thought that the eddies in the water were caused by the hurricane in the sky, and we had never explored the bottom of the water. Perhaps we should go into the eddies in the water and take a look.”
Yang Shize frowned and said, "But we don't have diving equipment. Even I can only hold my breath underwater for an hour at most. What if..."
"I have a way."
Zhang Yun suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her lips close to his.
Yang Shize thought he was going to kiss him, so he closed his eyes.
Their lips met.
"Open your mouth," Zhang Yun said.
Yang Shize parted his lips slightly, and a breath entered his mouth from Zhang Yun's mouth, making his breathing much easier.
Zhang Yun released him and looked at Yang Shize, asking, "Did you feel it?"
Yang Shize smacked his lips. "Too fast, I didn't feel it. Let's do it again!"
After saying that, she hugged him and kissed him again.
"Mmm..." Zhang Yun was forcibly kissed by him for a while, taking full advantage of him, before finally pushing him away.
He said breathlessly, "I stored oxygen in my space, but since I don't have a container, I can only put it in my body each time I take it out. With me, it's like you're carrying a super oxygen tank. We can stay on the seabed for a very long time, which should be enough for you to explore the underwater whirlpools."
"The pressure at the bottom of the sea is high. I'm an all-around evolved being with thick skin and tough flesh, but you, bro..."
Zhang Yun interrupted him, "I am a recovery power evolver. Although I am only at the fifth level, I can still handle this level of water pressure without any problem."
Seeing that Yang Shize was still hesitating, Zhang Yun asked, "Is there any other problem?"
“There’s a problem.” Yang Shize nodded, then suddenly pulled him into his arms.
"Brother, this is the first time I've used this oxygen cylinder. To prevent it from being airtight, I need to practice a lot first."
After saying that, he kissed Zhang Yun's lips, hugged him, and jumped into the sea together.
The seawater submerged their bodies, and Yang Shize, holding him, swam towards the depths of the sea.
While being kissed by him, Zhang Yun continuously released the oxygen collected in the space into her mouth, which was then inhaled by Yang Shize.
The two kissed underwater for more than ten minutes. Zhang Yun used her mental powers to send him a telepathic message: "How is it? Is this operation feasible?"
Yang Shize wanted to laugh at his lover's cute voice transmission, but he was busy kissing Zhang Yun and couldn't laugh. He could only press his head down and deepen the kiss.
"Brother, the seabed isn't always this calm, especially near whirlpools. Something could happen at any time. I need to test whether you can maintain a stable oxygen output in the event of an accident," Yang Shize transmitted to him.
“Okay, then you come.” Zhang Yun replied.
Yang Shize's hand slipped inside his clothes in the water and caressed the beautiful lines of his waist.
Zhang Yun suddenly opened her eyes and gripped Yang Shize's shoulders tightly with the hands that were holding him.
"What are you doing? Don't be a pervert!" Zhang Yun's voice was tinged with embarrassment and anger.
"Wasn't I supposed to be tested, brother?" Yang Shize's reply was like that of a triumphant fox, as he pressed their already close bodies even closer together. "This is my test for you, brother!"
"No, no, no..." Zhang Yun tried to break free, but Yang Shize held her firmly and she couldn't leave.
That's absurd!
How could you do this!
This is simply...
...
An hour later, Zhang Yun was finally carried ashore by Yang Shize.
As soon as he got ashore, Zhang Yun teleported into the RV and locked the door.
Yang Shize knocked on the car door from the outside, but he refused to open it out of spite.
It wasn't until Zhang Yun finished showering and changed her clothes that she saw Yang Shize still standing outside the car door.
It rained again on the island, and Yang Shize stood in the rain like a big dog abandoned by its owner.
Zhang Yun's heart softened for a second before hardening again.
Serves you right for bullying me!
It's just a little rain. An eighth-tier evolved being's physique is so strong that even if knives rained down from the sky, they wouldn't hurt him in the slightest. What do he have to worry about?
Zhang Yun changed into a new nightgown, lay on the bed, and covered her head with the blanket.
Large raindrops pattered against the car window, while the wind howled and thunder roared, making everyone feel irritable.
Zhang Yun suddenly sat up in bed, scratching his hair in frustration.
It usually rains and thunderstorms on the island every few days, so why is the rain so noisy today?
He got up to pour himself a glass of water, but as he filled it, his gaze involuntarily drifted toward a certain spot outside the window.
Yang Shize was still standing at attention in the rain, his body as straight as a javelin.
Seeing his attitude, Zhang Yun felt a surge of anger again. If I don't want you to come in, why don't you come in by yourself?
Isn't he a very powerful eighth-tier evolver?
Aren't you good at picking locks?
With a loud thud, Zhang Yun slammed the cup onto the table, then walked to the car door and unlocked it.
He then instantly teleported to the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and lay down.
The sound of the car door being pushed open reached Zhang Yun's ears. He heard Yang Shize walk in, go to the restroom, and the sound of running water could be heard.
Zhang Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yang Shize finished showering and dried his hair, he came out and saw a neatly folded new set of pajamas on the small table next to him. A smile instantly appeared in his eyes.
I put on the pajamas, and the size was just right.
Yang Shize walked to the bedside, pulled back the corner of the quilt and lay down, hugging the person lying on the bed with their back to him from behind.
"Brother, I was wrong. I promise I won't do it like that again."
Zhang Yun ignored him.
"Brother, shall we go to the vortex to investigate tomorrow? I'll do whatever you tell me to do, I'll definitely follow your orders," Yang Shize said, kissing the back of his neck.
There was still no response, but the body in her arms softened a little.
Yang Shize's lips curled up slightly as he continued his sweet talk, "Brother..."
In the end, Zhang Yun couldn't resist the man's tender affection, calling her "brother" repeatedly. Not only did she forgive him, but she was also bullied by him several more times.
Once again, Zhang Yun felt that she must have owed him something in her past life!
Yang Shize carried him to take another bath before they went back to bed.
Outside the car, the wind and rain were still raging, with lightning and thunder, but this time, Zhang Yun slept soundly and peacefully in her lover's arms.
