Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 115 - Everyday

Edited by Meri

Some earth ability user very considerately created a flight of steps at the cave entrance. Nie Yi swiftly clambered into the cave, then put Qi Jingchen on the double bed.

Now that he finally had the time to survey his surroundings, he couldn’t help freezing.

What the heck was that extremely hideous cabinet?!

Perhaps the other members of the Chenguang Team were lacking in furniture, but honestly, Nie Yi wasn’t. At the start, before they had Xiaomao’s space ability, he already thought to place sofas and the like in the truck for Qi Jingchen to live comfortably. When they had Xiaomao, he also made Xiaomao take several things for Qi Jingchen to use.

Of course, he would definitely share things like beds with Qi Jingchen.

The bed in the cave was in an antique chinese style. Beside it was a soft and comfortable european style leather sofa, and a simplistic wardrobe. Frankly, these three didn’t match when put together, but this was a cave. No matter what they placed inside, it was bound to look strange. This sort of chaotic arrangement honestly wasn’t much, and it would be easy to get used to after seeing a few more times.

But while those could be adapted to after a few more looks, wasn’t that cabinet a little too ugly?

“This is a cabinet Yaoyao made. Leave it ba.” Qi Jingchen smiled when seeing Nie Yi looking at the cabinet in confusion. He honestly used to be a little bothered about what Qi Yaoyao had done in the past, but these feelings had already more or less dissipated.

After all, she was his little sister. Now, seeing Qi Yaoyao doing her best to live, he even had a sense of pride— Look, that’s my little sister. My little sister who can kill zombies and even make a cabinet!

“I can do it better than this one,” Nie Yi couldn’t help saying, reaching over to pull open the cabinet’s door. But unexpectedly, the door fell off just like that.

Qi Jingchen: “...”

“I didn’t mean to do it.” Nie Yi’s face was filled with helplessness. Though he was a bit forceful when opening the door, he definitely didn’t deliberately tear down this cabinet.

“I know.” Qi Jingchen nodded. He couldn’t help laughing at Nie Yi’s appearance.

“I’ll fix it later.” When Nie Yi saw Qi Jingchen become happy, he looked at the broken door in his hand and spoke through gritted teeth.

“No need, just leave it like that ba. I see that this wood still has quite a lot of barbs; be careful not to prick your hands,” Qi Jingchen said.

Hearing Qi Jingchen’s words of concern, Nie Yi stared at Qi Jingchen for a while. He suddenly threw down the door and laid down in bed, hugging Qi Jingchen’s waist. “Are you angry?”

“Angry? Because a cabinet broke?” Qi Jingchen was a little nonplussed. What was there to be mad about?

“Not because of this.” Nie Yi said, “Back then... I carried you in without asking for your permission.”

Qi Jingchen had already awakened to his ability. According to reason, he shouldn’t treat Qi Jingchen like he had in the past. But when he saw other people looking at Qi Jingchen in worship, he still couldn’t stand it and really wanted to hide Qi Jingchen away so only he could see him.

But if he did this, he was also a little worried that Qi Jingchen would be unhappy.

Back when Qi Jingchen wasn’t in good health and he took the chance to hug and cuddle, he honestly thought, ‘He should rush to take advantage of him, because it is possible he wouldn’t have the chance in the future’. Now that Qi Jingchen had awakened to his ability, he naturally became uneasy.

Although they were already extremely intimate, who could ensure it would always continue on like this?

Nie Yi himself didn’t know why he was this uneasy. Clearly he was already very strong and Qi Jingchen treated him very well, yet he stubbornly remained uneasy...

“So what?” On the contrary, Qi Jingchen didn’t mind this at all. If it was him in his last life, he probably wouldn’t allow Nie Yi to even hold him, but now... He was already long used to being carried.

Nie Yi hugged Qi Jingchen and kissed him on the face.

The place kissed by Nie Yi became tingly and numb, and it seemed as if the tingles travelled from his face straight to his heart. With a flip of his body, he pressed Nie Yi down. “Want to do it?”

His words barely finished when Qi Jingchen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He previously had &#k2018;penetrative contact’ with Nie Yi several times before, but no matter what thoughts he had in his heart, his body never reacted. But now, he had a reaction&#k2026;

Nie Yi also noticed Qi Jingchen’s physical abnormality, and his eyes instantly lit up. At the same time, the wooden door to their cave was suddenly wrapped in a layer of condensed ice. The wooden door completely froze, and the cave was completely sealed off.

Of course he wanted to do it!

This was the most pleasurable time since Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi had gotten together— For men, the importance of a certain organ was self-evident.

Nie Yi kissed Qi Jingchen’s face and his eyes were filled with happiness. “You’re okay?”

“Mn.” Qi Jingchen responded, a little lazily. He already had no energy, so he didn’t want to speak much.

Nie Yi began cleaning Qi Jingchen’s body with his water ability, occasionally kissing him. Previously, Qi Jingchen never had a reaction; although he said before that it was because of his body, he occasionally wondered whether it was in fact because Qi Jingchen didn’t like men at all...

Up until now, when his heart was finally fully laid to rest. For a time, his mood was extremely good, so his body felt especially, especially content.

Of course, the latter reason should be because he ate up a certain something...

“What was going on before?” Nie Yi asked.

“It’s probably because I haven’t awakened to my ability,” Qi Jingchen said. Aside from this, he couldn’t think of any other reason.

“Your ability is really unique. Could it be that you had to maintain your child’s body before you awakened?” Nie Yi subconsciously said. Those light ability priests in novels and games apparently were equal to monks of another world?

What child’s body? Nie Yi seriously was imaginative... Qi Jingchen shoved him to the end of the bed. “You move out a bit, don’t crowd me. I want to sleep.”

Actually, I still want to do it again... Nie Yi felt that he had his own idea. But after seeing Qi Jingchen’s body, he immediately pressed down his thoughts— He didn’t know whether it was the characteristic of the light ability; Qi Jingchen’s skin was extremely fair and tender. He clearly had always been very careful, but there were still several marks.

Lying down beside Qi Jingchen, Nie Yi quietly watched Qi Jingchen and felt his heart stabilise.

Qi Jingchen fell asleep drowsily, then faintly felt someone’s close presence, so he shuffled further into the bed. In the end, he was caught again.

The pillow was a little hard, but the temperature was just right. He found a relatively comfortable position and continued sleeping.

Last night he was quite tired, but once he woke up, Qi Jingchen’s vigour was thoroughly restored and even the marks on his body disappeared without a trace. The sky hadn’t brightened yet and there wasn’t a single noise outside, so Qi Jingchen wasn’t in a hurry to get out of bed. Instead, he sat up, planning to properly study his ability.

His current ability was level three, but the ability nucleus in his mind wasn’t the irregular shape other people had. Instead, it was like when Nie Yi was at level three, a gorgeous and round pearl emitting a warm glow.

Qi Jingchen soaked his spiritual strength into the pearl, then studied his own body. Only then did he discover the light energy in his body; it could simply be described as boundless, so much that there was even some spilling out.

No wonder the zombies ran when they saw him, and the Chenguang Team members had an unusual goodwill towards him... Qi Jingchen rotated his ability nucleus and slowly absorbed all the light energy around his body.

His ability nucleus grew slightly, squeezing the tissue around his mind, but he didn’t find it painful or harrowing at all. On the contrary, it felt extremely good. But even so, he still compressed the ability nucleus with his spiritual strength slightly.

Nie Yi was touched by his light when he awakened and his ability rose straight to level four, but he probably still had to slowly cultivate. This ability still needed to be used often.

Finally, his cultivation ended, and Qi Jingchen opened his eyes to look at himself in the mirror. He realised that he wasn’t so eye-catching anymore, and didn’t seem so radiant and blinding as yesterday when his radiance made people unable to help but have a good opinion.

“Do you feel something different about me?” Qi Jingchen looked at Nie Yi.

“Haven’t you always been like this?” Nie Yi subconsciously replied.

Nie Yi felt that he looked good even when he was practically a skeleton. Hoping for him to notice a change in his temperament wasn’t possible; he was better off hoping for breakfast... Qi Jingchen directly said, “I’m hungry.”

There were tons of animals in the mountains nearby, and the Chenguang Team members would go hunting every day. If they caught one alive, they would even raise it, so this place wasn’t lacking in meat. Things Nie Yi could make were also very abundant.

Since he felt so good last night, Nie Yi was very motivated in making breakfast. “Jingchen, let’s eat jiaozi img today?”

“What stuffing?” Qi Jingchen asked.

“Rabbit meat?” Nie Yi asked. What they were raising the most now was wild rabbits. Though rabbit jiaozi was never heard of before, it should be edible ba?

“Bring the rabbit over for me to see,” Qi Jingchen said.

Nie Yi soon carried over an ash-gray rabbit to Qi Jingchen. “This one is the fattest.” And also the liveliest. Not only this, its two legs were kicking especially energetically right now!

Qi Jingchen looked at this rabbit up and down, then placed a hand on the rabbit’s head, then his palm lit up.

This rabbit was held up by its ear and originally had been struggling ceaselessly. But with Qi Jingchen’s one touch, it instantly calmed down and no longer struggled.

But seeing this scene, everyone around him was a little baffled— Why did Qi Jingchen use his ability on a rabbit for no reason? Could it be that he felt that this rabbit was too pitiful, so he didn’t want to eat it?

Speaking of... Although its gray fur wasn’t that good-looking, the wild rabbit was still quite cute.

“Okay, you can take it to be cooked.” Qi Jingchen’s method was completely different from what everyone around him thought. After using his ability on the rabbit, he unexpectedly told Nie Yi to kill it!

So what in the world was Qi Jingchen doing? Saying prayers before taking its life?

“Ge, what are you doing ne?” Qi Yaoyao couldn’t help asking.

“Only like this will the rabbit be tasty,” Qi Jingchen told his little sister. Among the current animals and plants, everything more or less had some dark energy. He previously had no way to eliminate it and could only endure, but now he no longer wanted to.

It turned out to be like that! Qi Yaoyao was a little speechless, but Qi Jingchen patted her head and, in passing, used some of his ability on her. It was identical to what he did to that rabbit.

Something seemed a little strange? Qi Yaoyao scratched her hair, seeing Nie Yi kill the rabbit.

The rabbit skin was given to someone to tan, and two pieces of meat on its legs were cut off in preparation to make jiaozi, and the remaining were chopped up to be simmer-fried...

The rabbit meat was chopped into a paste then mixed into some shepherd’s purse dug up from uphill. The flour was kneaded and rolled into pieces of dumpling skins, then wrapped up with some shepherd’s purse and rabbit meat, and the jiaozis were complete.

To be honest, if they really had to speak of flavour, meat like rabbit that had no fat wasn’t as tasty as pork, but now that it was the apocalypse, everyone truly wouldn’t care about the taste that much.

At least, Qi Jingchen felt that the rabbit meat jiaozi was extremely delicious.

After they ate and drank their fill, Nie Yi began handling the various affairs of this small-scale secure base.

Xiaomao had left behind a lot of food at the start, and they were not currently short of food, but lacking in daily necessities. Disregarding everything else, they didn’t even have toilet paper.

“This sort of thing is used up too quickly,” Fei Xuelei said awkwardly. Toilet paper was light, but it took up too much space. Moreover, no one outside really fought over this, so they didn’t gather much... Now, great, they unexpectedly didn’t have enough to use.

“What else do we need?” Nie Yi asked.

Fei Xuelei swiftly listed everything from minor things like bowls and basins for eating, to larger things like cabinets and beds, they were short of many things.

“Form a team tomorrow; we’ll go out and gather them,” Nie Yi said.

Fei Xuelei was waiting for precisely this sentence, and soon nodded as he said, “Yes. Actually, I already prepared a team. When the time comes, Nie shao just has to lead them out!”

It felt like they were just waiting for him... Nie Yi smiled, then notified Qi An, telling him to bring along Xiaomao.

Fortunately, they had Xiaomao, otherwise... perhaps they would have to carry big bags of toilet paper and travel back and forth through the forest...

“I’ll go too,” Qi Jingchen said.

“Do you want to rest, Jingchen?” Nie Yi asked in concern. Last night, Qi Jingchen was clearly very tired.

“No need.” Qi Jingchen waved his hand. His current state was extremely good, and he wanted to go out and test his ability. “Ping Shengchao, will you guys go?”

“I’m not going.” Ping Shengchao quickly refused. They were safe after a lot of hardship, so he and Zhang Zihai went a little overboard last night, so now he felt uncomfortable all over...

Thinking of this, he glanced at Qi Jingchen, then looked at Nie Yi slightly sympathetically— Nie Yi probably hadn’t succeeded yet ba?

Their team had no less than forty to fifty people. They first left the forest, then Xiaomao took out the cars, which the team drove towards the neighbouring city.

There had been no more survivors in the city for a long time, and only closely packed zombies remained. Qi Jingchen had restrained his aura, and thus all these zombies rushed over.

Seeing these zombies, Qi Jingchen felt a wave of discomfort. He subconsciously covered his body with a layer of his ability as a shield, then... A portion of the higher-levelled zombies among them abruptly stopped, then turned and ran away, leaving behind a scant few.

“...” The light ability was actually so useful?!

While Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen were in a small town looking for toilet paper, many people in B City secure base were under pressure— They couldn’t find Nie Yi and the others!

After they let Nie Yi and the others leave, they immediately sent someone to rush off to Yuncheng secure base. They travelled day and night, and several pilots took turns driving. Now, they had already made a round trip between B City secure base and Yuncheng.

They originally thought Nie Yi and the others should have gone to Yuncheng secure base, so his team should be there too. However, this wasn’t the reality.

“Where would Nie Yi and his men have gone?” Nie Boyuan couldn’t help saying.

“If Feng lao’s analysis is right and Qi Jingchen truly was the dark ability user in their last life, Nie Yi very possibly might have found a safe place to settle down in outside,” Zhao Chengqi said.

Zhao Chengqi’s words were very reasonable, but made them feel even more worried— Where in the world had Nie Yi and his people have gone? If they were to continue on hiding all the time...

“Yesterday when we dispatched people to inspect the situation in B City district, they already discovered black plants. These plants were widespread. All the plants in an entire shrubbery had turned black.” A seated person said, “Following after animals, plants will also be invaded by dark energy.”

Everyone fell silent. Will humanity truly end up extinct like what Yu Xuguang said?

Just as everyone was deep in discussion, someone suddenly rushed in from outside. “Bad news; S City secure base declared independence.”

“What?” Everyone was shocked.

“People previously sent to S CIty secure base never returned, so I sent men over again. This time, the people sent didn’t directly come in contact with the secure base then when they obtained some news... S City secure base declared independence, and the current person in power is Yao Mengzhi,” the speaker explained, his face filled with exhaustion.

Zhao Chengqi and the others had learnt some matters about Yao Mengzhi from Yu Xuguang, and felt a little surprised but unsurprised upon hearing this.

People able to live to the end in the apocalypse were all not simple. Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen were powerful and their abilities were unique; Yu Xuguang had a simple mind, but his willpower was firm. Yao Mengzhi...

They unexpectedly didn’t quite know how to evaluate this person.

“How is the situation over at S City secure base?” Zhao Chengqi asked.

“The people there seemed to have thought of a way to deal with zombies, but no one knows about the concrete details.”

“I can bring men to go take a look,” Yu Xuguan suddenly said. After he knew that he might have made a mistake, he expressed his willingness to offer a humble apology to Nie Yi and his people. Because his attitude of admitting his mistake was very good and he knew many things, as such, the secure base ended up not doing anything to him aside from restricting some of his movements, even permitting him to participate in this sort of meeting.

“Who knows whether you want to run off?” someone said in discontent.

“Alright.” Sitting at the seat of honour, Feng lao who had never spoken agreed to Yu Xuguang’s request. “You should go look.”

After obtaining Feng lao’s consent, Yu Xuguang quickly left B City secure base. At the same time, someone else had secretly left B City secure base and headed for S City secure base.
