Boss's Death Guide Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Qi Jingchen’s att.i.tude towards Nie Yi had always been the same— cold and standoffish . This was something everyone in Base Two was clear about, but now they discovered that Qi Jingchen was actually pretty good towards Nie Yi, because his att.i.tude towards others was even worse .

But thinking about it, for a man to inexplicably run over and give roses, it would be strange if Qi Jingchen’s att.i.tude was good! Just that, this person’s att.i.tude was clearly this awful, yet not only did Nie Yi like him, but Yu Shuo had also run over to give him flowers . Was this person crazy? Moreover, this was too insincere of a seduction .

Everyone in Base Two were rough men . They didn’t even know what the flower language of common flowers like carnations was, or what they should send to whom . However, they still understood what roses meant .

This world… Could it be that everyone liked this sort of bad-tempered, delicate youths?

Yu Xuguang looked at this scene and didn’t think too much, merely sighing in relief . Putting in good words for Nie Yi wasn’t in vain, and he had defamed Yu Shuo with every chance he had… Look, now Qi Jingchen clearly didn’t have the slightest goodwill towards Yu Shuo!

“That’s right . ” Nie Yi smiled, then came towards Yu Shuo and grabbed the flowers in his hand . “Yu Shuo, what intentions do you have, giving flowers to my person?”

While speaking, Nie Yi used his fire ability and immediately swept that bouquet of flowers he was grabbing into flames . He didn’t have the slightest intention of controlling his ability, and the fire even swept over Yu Shuo’s hand .

Nie Yi would do what he said he would, and Yu Shuo couldn’t quite avoid it . Even though he had quickly let go, his hands still had some burn marks .

“Nie Yi, I don’t have any other intentions . ” Yu Shuo took a step back and opened his hand . The scar on his hand was then revealed to everyone present . The few ability users who had followed behind him were all his most loyal subordinates, and they immediately glared at Nie Yi . “What are you doing?!”

“He gave my person flowers without any other intentions, so naturally I have no other intentions as well,” Nie Yi said with a beaming smile .

“Nie Yi, I’m really sorry . I really do like Qi Jingchen, but I don’t plan to steal him away . It’s just that I saw those flowers and thought that it was very suitable for him . Today, I also came here for you,” Yu Shuo said . At first, he hadn’t believed that Nie Yi would actually like a man, because he simply didn’t believe in love .

However, while he may not believe in love, Nie Yi wasn’t the same… Nie Yi seemed to really, really care about Qi Jingchen, and Qi Jingchen could be said to be Nie Yi’s trigger point .

To Yu Shuo, this was exceptionally great news, so he came today .

Of course, he couldn’t have fallen for Qi Jingchen, even though he was very interested in him… The reason he came here was to enrage Nie Yi, and the best way to do so was to tease Qi Jingchen .

When Zhang Zihai had nearly hurt Qi Jingchen, Nie Yi had turned him bald . Guan Jiayu had abandoned Qi Jingchen during the start of the apocalypse and Nie Yi had killed her . He heard that while on the way to the secure base, Nie Yi had also cruelly killed someone because they had wanted to harm Qi Jingchen…

What if he confessed to Qi Jingchen?

Yu Shuo’s face held a smile; matched with his handsome face, it was extremely attractive . He might have been smiling relaxedly, but he had inwardly focused his entire attention on guarding himself, waiting for Nie Yi to attack .

However, Nie Yi actually didn’t move, instead asking, “You came here for me? What for?”

“Dad wants to see you,” Yu Shuo said .

“Then why didn’t he come himself?” Nie Yi asked .

“You also know that dad isn’t willing to give in . Last time, you scolded… Talking to him that way is still too excessive…” Yu Shuo sighed . “But he still thinks about you . As long as you’re willing to apologise to him, I think dad will forgive you . ”

Nie Yi revealed a pensive expression .

When Yu Xuguang saw Nie Yi’s appearance, he also felt that Nie Yi was too easily deceived! Last time, he had said a few words to Qi Jingchen, yet Nie Yi had used the excuse of swapping pointers to beat him up . How come Yu Shuo had given flowers and confessed, yet Nie Yi didn’t react at all? And Nie Boyuan… Yu Xuguang’s life had always been very happy; his family protected him, so what Nie Boyuan did to Nie Yi was incomprehensible to him, and he had already defined Nie Boyuan as a bad person .

When Yu Shuo had framed Nie Yi, he didn’t even clarify anything and unilaterally believed Yu Shuo… Perhaps Nie Boyuan was a good father to Yu Shuo, but Nie Yi was unlucky to have a father like this .

Thinking of this, he immediately said, “Are you telling the truth? Isn’t that bulls.h.i.t?”

“Of course I’m telling the truth…” Yu Shuo was still smiling, but he was disappointed with Nie Yi’s reaction . If Nie Yi stopped acting impulsively and learned to give in to Nie Boyuan, it wouldn’t have the slightest benefit to him…

Yu Shuo was thinking about this when Nie Yi suddenly punched him in the face .

Nie Yi’s attack came without the slightest warning, and it was even when the conversation between them was gradually becoming harmonious . It was startling to the point that, regardless of Yu Shuo or the people by his side, everyone was taken aback .

“What are you doing?!” The people by Yu Shuo wanted to save him, but it was already too late .

“Yu Shuo, you probably wanted me to beat you up ba? Then I’ll accept the invitation . ” Nie Yi smiled and punched Yu Shuo in the face again . Jiang Huai and Shao Zhenglan had already arrived at Qi Jingchen’s side, so he didn’t need to hold back anymore .

Yu Shuo truly did want to clash with Nie Yi, but he had only planned to have minor injuries, rather than getting hit in the face as soon as they started .

Not only that, after the first two punches, Nie Yi had actually used his ability!

There was a sharp twinge on his shoulder, and Yu Shuo quickly realised his shoulder had been burned . Almost subconsciously, he had released his lightning ability .

Yu Shuo’s ability was very strong, and Nie Yi could sense that he was already at level two now . If this lightning struck him, even if he wouldn’t die because of a certain extent of immunity as an ability user and Yu Shuo’s unlikeliness to deal heavy injuries to him, it still wouldn’t be good .

However, his experience in dealing with Yu Shuo was abundant, so he didn’t have to worry about being struck at all .

Nie Yi instantly responded— a stream of water obstructed the lightning, and surged towards Yu Shuo, then he rolled away from Yu Shuo…

Just like that, that lightning followed along the stream of water and struck Yu Shuo’s head, burning his hair .

Even if an ability user had a stronger resistance towards their own ability, Yu Shuo still felt extremely unpleasant at this moment . Seeing this, his people wanted to save him, but unexpectedly, Nie Yi made another somersault over and grabbed Yu Shuo . His hands were placed on Yu Shuo’s neck as he squeezed . “What do you think? Dare I kill him?”

Nie Yi was asking a girl who had come with Yu Shuo . That girl had walked to Qi Jingchen’s side and evidently planned to attack him .

Nie Yi knew this girl . She was also a fire ability user like him, and was very strong . If she were to launch a sneak attack, Shao Zhenglan and the rest might not be able to fully protect Qi Jingchen .

However, now that Yu Shuo was in Nie Yi’s hands, she didn’t dare move at all .

How could Nie Yi dare to kill Yu Shuo? Yu Shuo was now incredibly famous in the secure base, and was in charge of many things . If Nie Yi killed Yu Shuo, he’d definitely be arrested .

But Yu Shuo’s current appearance was so wretched… Nie Yi could attack Yu Shuo without warning, so why couldn’t he kill Yu Shuo?

That girl was already incredibly near Qi Jingchen but didn’t dare move .

Nie Yi held Yu Shuo’s neck and smiled lightly .

He really wanted to kill Yu Shuo, but couldn’t .

Yu Shuo was involved with many people . If he killed Yu Shuo, he would definitely be hunted and killed . It wouldn’t have mattered if it was only him, but Qi Jingchen was here .

With Qi Jingchen so weak right now, he definitely couldn’t endure the hardship of being a fugitive .

“You should probably thank Qi Jingchen,” Nie Yi said to Yu Shuo, finally letting him go .

This was Yu Shuo’s first time being beaten so thoroughly . He had accomplished his objective, but didn’t feel the slightest bit of happiness…

He had just wanted Nie Yi to make the first move then have a fight with him, not have Nie Yi wipe the floor with him!

Looking at Nie Yi, Yu Shuo’s eyes were filled with hatred, but he quickly said, “Let’s go!”

Yu Shuo’s people took him away . This matter naturally couldn’t be hidden, and Nie Yi believed that before long, the matter of him beating up Yu Shuo would be spread around the base .

Wasn’t it exactly like this in his last life?

“Sorry, I was too impulsive again,” Nie Yi said apologetically .

“Nie shao, will it be okay if you beat him up like this?” Qian Mingfeng couldn’t help saying .

“I can’t help it . I hate even the sight of him . When I returned to the base, my mom was dead, while such an old illegitimate child lived with my dad…” Nie Yi sighed .

Yu Shuo being an illegitimate child was pretty well-known around the base, but many still thought that he was just Nie Boyuan’s adopted child… Now that Nie Yi had said this, it was instead Yu Shuo who was problematic .

It was just that Yu Shuo was older than Nie Yi, so if they tried to say his mother was immoral and such, it wasn’t right either .

Nie Yi was well aware of this . In his last life, it had to be known that Yu Shuo had even hinted to others that Li Ping was the mistress…

However, it was not necessary to care about these words; in any case, he would definitely kill Yu Shuo in the future .

“That unfilial son!” When Nie Boyuan saw Yu Shuo’s appearance, he exploded in anger as his dissatisfaction towards Nie Yi increased . However, he didn’t have the slightest dissatisfaction towards Yu Shuo… “Yu Shuo, why would you run over and give Qi Jingchen flowers? You…”

“It was my impulsiveness . I just wanted to see if Qi Jingchen was really that important to him…” Yu Shuo said, “I didn’t even meet Qi Jingchen more than a few times, how could I fall for such a man?”

“Be careful next time . ” Nie Boyuan could only say this .

“Dad, if that Qi Jingchen continues to stay with Nie Yi, wouldn’t he make Nie Yi act even more unreasonable? Isn’t there a way to break them up?” Yu Shuo said .

When Nie Boyuan heard Yu Shuo’s words, he had only thought Yu Shuo had contacted Qi Jingchen because he wanted Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi to break up… This really was a good method . After all,Yu Shuo had a better appearance than Nie Yi, and his status in the secure base was also better than Nie Yi’s .

But that behaviour of Nie Yi’s… It’s too dangerous for Yu Shuo to contact Qi Jingchen .

“I’ll handle this matter, you just rest well,” Nie Boyuan said .

Even though he had stopped paying attention to Nie Yi, he hadn’t targeted Nie Yi either . Now… Arrange some difficult a.s.signments for Nie Yi, place some obstacles against Nie Yi’s people, and he could separate Nie Yi and that problematic Qi Jingchen .

“After this, my dad will probably think of ways to break us up . ” Nie Yi looked at Qi Jingchen . In his last life, even though he and Yan Zhe weren’t as loving as him and Qi Jingchen now, they had still been obstructed many times by Nie Boyuan .

He had been resolutely shouldering all of this for Yan Zhe, stubbornly not allowing Nie Boyuan to have a chance to hurt Yan Zhe, and as a result…

“Mn . ” Qi Jingchen nodded .

“Let’s elope ba,” Nie Yi kissed Qi Jingchen’s face .

In the early stages of the apocalypse, B City secure base could be considered a pure land . The majority of the common people could live peaceful lives, but this place wasn’t suitable for ambitious people .

The domestic leaders before the apocalypse were all now staying in B City secure base . Under these circ.u.mstances, it was too difficult for newcomers who wanted to develop their own forces .

Originally, Nie Yi was interested in the stability here, wanting Qi Jingchen to rest properly and depart after Qi Jingchen awakened to his ability . During this time, if he helped the people of Base Two cultivate their abilities, he could even bring along a large number of subordinates when he left .

However, after staying here for a time, he realised he couldn’t adapt to this place; moreover, rather than being a n.o.body here, he might as well establish his power somewhere else as he had in his last life .

Now that the level two zombies had appeared ahead of time and the deterioration of the environment was getting quicker and quicker… He also didn’t have much time to waste in B City secure base .

“Heh…” Qi Jingchen lightly made a sound, but didn’t say a word of opposition .

“You may have to be a little wronged, but if we have a place of our own like in our last life, we would have more freedom,” Nie Yi said . The base he and Qi Jingchen had single-handedly founded was quite good…

After Nie Yi talked about it with Qi Jingchen, he went to look for the others and asked a single question: “Do you want to go with me?”

Nie Yi had bought some gas for the cars, and all the remaining workpoints at hand had already been exchanged for supplies… When he was doing all this, the rumours about him had spread around the base . They were mainly talking about how he had severely beat Yu Shuo up . What was more amusing was that even the parents of Yao Jialong, who had turned into a zombie back then, actually popped out and didn’t even say Nie Yi had killed someone during their journey, instead directly saying that Nie Yi had killed their son back then .

At the same time, there were some who, in their desperation to awaken to abilities, had continuously soaked in water made by water ability users till they fell sick, and had pushed all of the blame onto Nie Yi .

“Those people are too much . ” Yu Xuguang looked for Nie Yi . “It’s simply nonsense!” No wonder Nie Yi had betrayed the base in his last life… Besides the matter of Yu Shuo, he had asked about the situation of the Yao parents, and it was clearly just biting the hand that fed them .

“I also think so . ”

“I’ll help you clarify this!” Yu Xuguang said .

“Don’t forget that B City secure base’s radio stations are closely related to Yu Shuo . ” Nie Yi glanced at Yu Xuguang . Yu Shuo had originally been a popular celebrity, and after the apocalypse, the secure base had modelled him into a hero . Adding in his father’s protection and Yu Shuo’s willingness to labour… At this moment, the common civilians of B City secure base were extremely trusting of Yu Shuo .

If it weren’t because there were a lot of military troops and most of the leaders were in B City secure base, Yu Shuo might have monopolised all authority .

“There’s always a way . ” Yu Xuguang said, “Moreover, I came up with the cultivation method for ability users, so there’s still many people who believe in me . ”

“Thank you . ” Nie Yi gave Yu Xuguang a grateful look .

Making an enemy for Yu Shuo before he left was something he’s very willing to do, and when Qi Jingchen awakened to his ability later…

Yu Xuguang felt that Nie Yi was unlucky, and the people in Base Two thought so as well .

Knowing perfectly well that Qi Jingchen was someone Nie Yi treasured the most, Yu Shuo still wanting to become familiar with him was clearly just asking for a beating . Unable to defeat him, he had even mobilized public opinion; this was even more despicable .

Back then, Zhang Zihai had been beaten so miserably, yet wasn’t his relationship with Nie Yi still pretty good?

Because of this, when Nie Boyuan looked for Zhao Chengqi and spoke of Nie Yi’s matters, Zhao Chengqi didn’t care about it at all, instead casually speaking to Nie Boyuan perfunctorily .

Of course, Nie Boyuan could hear it, and his face darkened . “I know you appreciate Nie Yi, but if you coddle him like this, it’ll harm him, making him more and more undisciplined and out of control!”

“Where have I coddled him?” Zhao Chengqi truly didn’t understand Nie Boyuan’s meaning .

“Nie Yi…” Nie Boyuan recalled Nie Yi actually killing someone casually and felt his heart fill with anger, yet he couldn’t tell others about this, and couldn’t even take out any evidence . “Allowing him to a.s.sociate with a man who appeared from nowhere isn’t anything good!”

“If he had told me before that he liked men, I definitely would have advised him, but what’s there to talk about now?” Zhao Chengqi said . He originally had a daughter, then she was gone on the very first day…

If his daughter could live, don’t even mention being gay, he’d be delighted even if she liked a tree!

Nie Boyuan’s face turned icy immediately, and he said, “No matter what, I’ll still report it to the higher-ups . In short, you shouldn’t allow unrelated people to stay in Base Two . ”

“That Yu Shuo is clearly unrelated, yet he still wanted to run over to Base Two . That’s why he was beaten up . ”

“You know who I’m talking about!” Nie Boyuan said .

“I do, but I can’t manage that anymore… Today, Nie Yi accepted a mission to provide a.s.sistance to a small base in the west, and he’s already left . ” Zhao Chengqi smiled .

B City secure base was located in the northeastern part of B City . Currently, the vast majority of survivors were living there, but not all .

The west side of B City had a small base that had a pretty large population . For safety, they had wanted that small base to merge with them, but the distance between them was too far, and there were too many people there, so it was impossible . For Nie Yi to take the initiative and volunteer himself to take a look this time, it was natural that Zhao Chengqi would agree .

Nie Boyuan had thought of many ways to suppress Nie Yi, but he didn’t expect such a result . He was instantly stunned, and so was Yu Shuo . After suffering a round of beating and thinking about using this pretext to make an issue out of it, Nie Yi ended up leaving like this…

When he moved a little, he felt sore all over his body, and as a result, it was all in vain!

So what if those rumours were even more widespread? It’s still just words, and won’t affect Nie Yi at all…

Nie Yi didn’t bring many people along; merely Xu Nan and the others, as well as the ten ‘disciples’ he accepted, Zhang Zihai and the others .

If he wanted to, he could bring along even more people . However, he didn’t declare his departure, so naturally, other people didn’t know as well .

Besides that, Nie Yi felt that Yu Xuguang, who had always wanted to approach him, must be pretty depressed right now .

As for that small-scale base… He will kindly accept it .
