Chapter 37 - Advice

After returning home last night, the more Yu Xuguang thought about what happened in the day, the more he felt that Nie Yi shouldn’t break up with his lover.

Nie Yi was now still a very humane person. If his lover broke up with him, he might become that person that couldn’t even forgive his family like in his past life.

What’s more... Yu Xuguang also had grudges against Nie Yi in his last life. Now that he’s seen Nie Yi lowering himself before his lover... he really felt that his hatred had resolved.

So, he made the resolution that he mustn’t let Yu Shuo come in contact with Nie Yi’s lover.

Yu Shuo coming over for Nie Yi this time was to observe Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen. Yet he never thought that just as he said two words, a random stranger would poke in and even blocked off Nie Yi.

No, he couldn’t be said to be a random person. Wasn’t this person precisely the person other than Nie Yi who had become conspicuous yesterday, the one who had provided the cultivation method for abilities?

Yesterday, the leaders of the base had held a meeting, planning to sort out this method then publicize it. They even sent it to other secure bases, and now, this Yu Xuguang’s profile had been handed out to them.

Before, Yu Shuo had even thought to contact this person, but hadn’t expected that Nie Yi had actually taken the first action...

“Today, I’m going to talk about the cultivation method to the people in Base Two. I’m afraid that Nie Yi doesn’t have the time to talk to you,” Yu Xuguang continued, and then was a little annoyed after speaking. Suddenly rushing out to help Nie Yi out like this, it seemed to be a little too impetuous?

If there wasn’t this reborn person, Yu Xuguang, Nie Yi might’ve gone head to head with Yu Shuo, and properly infuriated this person. But with Yu Xuguang here, he decided to keep a low profile.

Because of this, even if he didn’t know what intentions Yu Xuguang had, he still followed Yu Xuguang into Base Two, tossing Yu Shuo to the back.

Yu Shuo had specifically waited for Nie Yi, but ultimately got nothing for this... His lips curled slightly, then thought of the man lying in Nie Yi’s embrace just now.

His mother had an entertainment company, and he had participated in the entertainment circle for a long time. He had seen many beautiful men and women, but even so, he had no choice but to admit that that person in Nie Yi’s embrace was extremely attractive.

He wasn’t particularly outstanding in looks, but that lazy appearance made people want to properly ‘love’ him. Of course, what Yu Shuo noticed the most was his skin.

Even though all sorts of cosmetics could easily make someone’s face look perfect, everyone knew that this perfection was false. When adults removed their makeup and took a close look at their skin in the mirror, there were always dissatisfying areas.

But when Yu Shuo took a glance just now, he discovered that Qi Jingchen’s skin was actually without a single blemish, his arms simply as flawless as white jade.

Nie Yi... really was lucky.

After leaving Yu Shuo outside Base Two and entering, Nie Yi looked at Yu Xuguang. “You want to talk about the cultivation method?”

Yu Xuguang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Of course!”

“Everyone’s outside on missions now; why don’t you talk about it later?” Nie Yi looked at Yu Xuguang with a smile. “Even though we want to hear it as soon as possible, it’s still better if everyone heard it at once.”

“I think so too, so I’ll talk about it later.” Yu Xuguang himself hadn’t properly thought of what to say, so it was natural that he’d agree, then urged Nie Yi, “You can go train first.”

He really wanted to properly advise Nie Yi’s lover.

Nie Yi quickly arranged Qi Jingchen’s resting area, nodding at Yu Xuguang before going to train with Qian Mingfeng, who didn’t have to go out for missions.

Even though Nie Yi’s current comprehension of abilities was far better than normal people, his innate physical strength wasn’t as good as before his rebirth, so he still needed to intensify his training.

Of course, as he trained, he continued to keep a close eye on Qi Jingchen and Yu Xuguang.

Yu Xuguang had been reborn. Even though he was certain that no one in their last life knew of Qi Jingchen’s identity, if Yu Xuguang knew about what had happened to him in his last life, he would feel that Qi Jingchen’s existence was very suspicious&#k2026;

Giving Yu Xuguang and Qi Jingchen a chance to interact was the perfect chance for him to see Yu Xuguang’s reaction. In any case, he was training near Qi Jingchen, so if anything happened, he could respond immediately.

The training Nie Yi had set for himself was very intense, and conformed to his current situation very much. Yu Xuguang watched for a moment at the side, then understood what he lacked in his last life.

At the beginning of his last life, he was protected very well by his sister, and later, because of the uniqueness of his water ability, he was well-protected by the people around him. Even though he later worked hard in training himself, in the end, it was far too late. Of course, it couldn’t be compared to Nie Yi, who had risked his life and limb since the start of the apocalypse.

“I’m Yu Xuguang, what’s your name?” Yu Xuguang moved over a stool, sitting next to Qi Jingchen and asking.

“Qi Jingchen,” Qi Jingchen said. His name wasn’t much of a secret in the secure base.

“Your name sounds really nice... Have you been with Nie Yi for a long time?” Yu Xuguang asked.

“En,” Qi Jingchen softly replied.

“Nie Yi is pretty good. He’s a dual ability user, and treats you well. Outside, there are people who’ll cheat the feelings of other people nowadays...” Yu Xuguang talked endlessly, even raising an example, saying that he had a friend who, after awakening to an ability, had a great beauty actively chasing after him. Then in the end, when he fell in love with this beauty, he found out that she actually was married, and dated him just because she could obtain various supplies from him...

“There are all kinds of things happening now, and maybe the person confessing to you now is actually scheming against you,” Yu Xuguang said.

At first, when Qi Jingchen was listening to Yu Xuguang, he was actually a little confused, unable to understand why Yu Xuguang wanted to talk about this with him. But when he heard this, he immediately understood.

It turns out that Yu Xuguang had regarded him as Yan Zhe...

Yan Zhe didn’t have any skills, and not many people knew about him, but there were many who knew that Nie Yi had betrayed the secure base because he was betrayed first... It was quite reasonable for Yu Xuguang to think this way.

And this was good for him and Nie Yi.

It seemed that Yu Xuguang hadn’t realized that they were reborn as well... After figuring this out, Qi Jingchen was too lazy to talk to Yu Xuguang, and closed his eyes to sleep.

After Yu Xuguang finished speaking, he found out that Qi Jingchen had actually fallen asleep, and didn’t know if he had listened to him... This lover of Nie Yi’s was stubborn,salt and oil unable to enter, and didn’t have a good temper. How could Nie Yi like him? Yu Xuguang, who had planned to advise Nie Yi’s lover and have him treat Nie Yi well, was speechless.

“Why do you keep staring at Jingchen?” At this time, Nie Yi suddenly walked in front of Yu Xuguang with furrowed brows, his words filled with sourness.

“What?” Yu Xuguang was stupefied, baffled over why Nie Yi suddenly ran over to interrogate him.

“Yu Xuguang, let’s exchange pointers,” Nie Yi said, and didn’t let Yu Xuguang refuse at all. “I’ll only use my water ability, let’s go one round!”

Even though Yu Xuguang had been reborn, the spiritual strength and ability he currently possessed was very weak, and he couldn’t use his ice ability at all, so how could he be an opponent for Nie Yi?

Less than a minute in his fight with Nie Yi, he had been tortured quite a few times, and had even been drenched thoroughly by Nie Yi’s water ability, cutting an extremely sorry figure.

He actually wanted to retaliate, but when Nie Yi didn’t want to be doused by other people, there was no way of drenching him.

“Stop!” Yu Xuguang hastily called out. As a result, Nie Yi landed another punch on his stomach.

“Next time, stay away from Qi Jingchen.” Nie Yi coldly snorted— Finding an excuse to beat Yu Xuguang up, he finally felt relaxed and happy all over right now.

So it turned out that he was given a thrashing because Nie Yi was eating vinegar! Yu Xuguang wanted to cry but had no tears.

After the beating, Yu Xuguang considered his current skills and sensibly decided not to talk to Qi Jingchen for the time being. Then, he cultivated his ability in the room Zhao Chengqi had arranged for him, and sorted out what he had to say about the cultivation method for ability users later.

As he holed up in the room and rubbed safflower oil on his bruises, Nie Yi was talking to Qi Jingchen about him. “His spiritual strength is very weak, and his ability is also very ordinary.”

“Mainly it’s his brains,” Qi Jingchen said.

“This is also a habit already ba. During the final stage of the apocalypse, what’s the use in having brains?” Nie Yi couldn’t help saying.

When fighting for food and killing zombies, martial strength was most important. Perhaps, during the beginning and middle stage of the apocalypse, those people with nimble minds could live their days well, but when it was the final stage...

At that time, humanity could only unite in order to continue surviving. As for those who selfishly thought to benefit themselves only, they were ruthlessly abandoned.

Such as Nie Yi, when he fought with Yu Shuo, he had learned many tricks, but after being in that environment for a long time, he became more fond of using his fists to speak... Yu Xuguang had just been reborn, and didn’t know how to interact with people or how to do things. This was actually quite normal.

“Leave him,” Qi Jingchen suddenly said.

Nie Yi frowned, then said, “I’ll keep an eye on him, give him some trouble.”

“Go look for Qi An,” Qi Jingchen said.

Nie Yi’s face instantly turned black.

Back then when Yu Xuguang had come to assassinate Qi Jingchen, he wasn’t by Qi Jingchen’s side. The person by Qi Jingchen’s side was a child Qi Jingchen had picked up, Qi An.

That time, their side only had him, Qi Jingchen, and Qi An, while the secure base only had Yu Xuguang alone. And when Yu Xuguang came to assassinate Qi Jingchen, he didn’t manage to kill Qi Jingchen, but broke Qi An’s domain, injured Qi An, and ultimately caused Qi An to turn into a zombie.

Now that Yu Xuguang was reborn, could it be that Qi An was reborn as well?

In their last life, Nie Yi hated that person who liked to wrap themself around Qi Jingchen, and now he wasn’t even willing to mention him, but...

In this life, it’s very possible that there’s no way he could get rid of this person!

Nie Yi didn’t say anything, but had made the decision to not look for Qi An.

During noon, those ability users who had gone out for missions returned one by one. Their abilities were finite, and generally, it would be used up within the morning, and the secure base would also allow them to return and rest.

Once Zhang Zihai returned, he went to look for Nie Yi. “Nie shao, many people have imitated you and soaked in water; do you think there’s a possibility they’ll awaken to the water ability?”

Nie Yi had also heard about the matters outside, but he was very certain that those people couldn’t awaken to the water ability.

Don’t mention anything else, even him from his last life... Without his strong spiritual strength and with no understanding of the water ability, even if he soaked for 180 days, he still wouldn’t be able to awaken to the water ability.

“How would I know? If you want to, you can give it a shot.” Nie Yi smiled, then suddenly said, “Yu Xuguang’s here.”

“He’s here?” Zhang Zihai immediately frowned. “The cultivation method is obviously something you thought of; why did it become his the moment he shouted?”

“Did you forget what I said yesterday? I’ve said before that you have to keep it confidential that I came up with the cultivation method, and you can’t talk about it.” With a sharp look, Nie Yi cut off Zhang Zihai’s words.

“We’ll never speak of it,” Zhang Zihai immediately said. When they began cultivating, they had signed a non-disclosure agreement, and yesterday Nie Yi had especially told them that they definitely can’t reveal this outside. But they all felt upset over the injustice Nie Yi faced and had some objections about Yu Xuguang.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Now, there’s another issue... Yu Xuguang was brought over by you yesterday, right?” Nie Yi eased his expression and smilingly asked.

“Yes, he said he wanted to look for someone,” Zhang Zihai said. Yu Xuguang was also an ability user, and was even attached to the military, therefore, even though he wasn’t from Base Two, he still brought him over.

“Did he end up finding them?” Nie Yi said.

If Nie Yi didn’t mention this, Zhang Zihai would’ve forgotten about it. Yu Xuguang didn’t look for anyone at all!

Yu Xuguang originally hadn’t come to look for any relatives, but was actually here to look for Zhao Chengqi, right?

Even though doing this didn’t really count as an offence, but Zhang Zihai, who already had complaints about Yu Xuguang, upon realizing he had been deceived by Yu Xuguang, had even greater complaints about Yu Xuguang...

Just as Yu Xuguang had sorted out the techniques that the current ability users could use and exited his room, his path was blocked by Zhang Zihai.

After lying to Zhang Zihai yesterday, Yu Xuguang also felt a little sorry. Seeing Zhang Zihai now, he immediately greeted him. “Zhang dage, hello.”

“Hello to you too... Yu Xuguang, let’s exchange pointers?” Zhang Zihai beamed at Yu Xuguang.

Exchange pointers again? Hearing this sentence, Yu Xuguang felt his stomach hurt once more. However, Zhang Zihai didn’t allow him to decline, directly dragging him to the drill ground.

The firepower of water ability had originally been weak, and Yu Xuguang’s current 19-year-old body’s innate strength didn’t need to be said. Even though he had a lot of experience battling against zombies, when he went up against Zhang Zihai, he was still utterly defeated by Zhang Zihai...

Standing at the side and watching the two of them fight, Nie Yi’s mood became slightly better again.

Later, when he had to explain the application methods for abilities to the ability users in Base Two, Yu Xuguang’s face had quite a few bruises.

Even though Yu Xuguang didn’t look like he had much skill, he had explained very earnestly, talking about the many uses and cultivation methods for abilities. It made those in Base Two who had seen him take a beating change their view of him, and it was just those ten who had been taught by Nie Yi who listened inattentively.

It was also at this time that Nie Yi looked for these people, informing them that he had received a mission outside the base and asked them if they would like to go with him— These ten were the ones whom he had intended to cultivate into his trusted aides.

Of course, all of them were willing to leave the base, agreeing without hesitation. After Nie Yi had talked it over with them, he informed Ping Shengchao, Xu Nan and the others. The next day, everyone gathered at the entrance of the secure base.

Whether it’s an ability user or a regular person, they were all currently armed to the teeth, but Qi Jingchen was still as before, incompatible with his surroundings...

“You’re going as well?” Zhang Zihai looked at Nie Yi in surprise. Bringing Qi Jingchen along even when going out on a mission, wasn’t this a little too excessive?

“We won’t be separated,” Nie Yi said with a smile. Originally, he had wanted to leave Qi Jingchen in the base when he went for dangerous missions, but now that he discovered that there weren’t just the two of them reborn in this world, he immediately gave up on this idea.

“...” This isn’t really the time to display your love, alright?
