Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 104 - Arrivals From B City

Edited by Ruru

Nie Yi saw Qi Jingchen’s rather strange complexion and worriedly asked, “Jingchen, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Qi Jingchen’s hand that was applying the ointment on Nie Yi accidentally grew heavy and suddenly his chest also had a burst of pain. At the same time, he felt himself weaken a little.

“Are you hurt?” Nie Yi’s brows furrowed once more. He had always observed Qi Jingchen’s expression all the time, and catching a glimpse of Qi Jingchen’s appearance, he knew that he was feeling unwell somewhere.

“No, it’s just that if your body hurts, I’ll also feel unwell,” Qi Jingchen said.

Sitting nearby, Zhang Zihai and Ping Shengchao had just assumed that Qi Jingchen was speaking corny lines, but Nie Yi suddenly thought of something and told Ping Shengchao, “Go eat something ba, no need to accompany us.”

Eat? But they came after having breakfast... Ping Shengchao was a little helpless. Nie Yi was just shunning them third-wheelers, right?

After Ping Shengchao and Zhang Zihai left, Nie Yi looked at Qi Jingchen. “Does the connection between us have a problem?”

“I seem to be able to share your injuries.” Qi Jingchen didn’t conceal it either and explained what he felt, then said, “From now on, if you’re injured I’ll also be hurt. If you die, perhaps I’ll also die. It’s best you be more careful!”

When Nie Yi heard this, his body emitted a cold aura. Qi Jingchen will also die if he died? How could it be like this?

Although he didn’t groan and moan in pain, all his wounds were incredibly painful. If Qi Jingchen could feel it, did it hurt as much? Nie Yi instantly hated that person who had hurt him even more. “I’ll definitely be careful!”

Nie Yi took Qi Jingchen’s hand and planted a kiss on his hand before saying, “I want to eat some painkillers.”

Qi Jingchen knew that Nie Yi suddenly wanting to eat painkillers was because he wanted Qi Jingchen to feel better. He swiftly took out the painkillers, then shoved it into Nie Yi’s mouth, wanting to see whether there was any use.

Nie Yi poured some water in his mouth and swallowed the medicine, and couldn’t help pondering over whether they should return to the secure base they established, then come out again only when Qi Jingchen’s ability awakened.

Qi Jingchen was too weak right now. If something happened to him...

Nie Yi had just imagined the scene of something happening to Qi Jingchen for a moment and already felt that it was unbearable.

“Don’t think too much. To survive in the apocalypse, we definitely have to experience all sorts of dangers,” Qi Jingchen said. How many times were he and Nie Yi on the verge of death in their last life? If they were afraid of death, afraid of this and that, perhaps they would have instead long died and not survived until the end. “Life and death are ruled by fate. Honestly, dying earlier isn’t really that bad.”

Nie Yi laughed bitterly. He knew what Qi Jingchen was saying was reasonable, but even so, he couldn’t bear to watch Qi Jingchen take risks. “Let’s go back to the Chenguang secure base?”

The secure base where the Chenguang team was located was simply named Chenguang secure base, and it was especially easy to remember.

“I want to go take a walk by the Jiangnan coast,” Qi Jingchen said. When those so-called shadow guards appeared, he truly felt especially nauseated, and was also filled with loathing towards the mastermind.

“Only if we bring the Chenguang Team!” Nie Yi said. If they brought such few members... It was easier to hide, but if they were discovered, perhaps they wouldn’t be able to escape! “No, we still can’t go. That place is where there are the most zombies.”

Qi Jingchen looked at Nie Yi and nodded. Even though he discovered the use of spiritual strength and had a certain extent of fighting capabilities, he was still too weak, and he couldn’t be adventurous right now.

But he also didn’t know when his ability would awaken&#k2026; Perhaps going to the Chenguang secure base wasn’t a bad idea.

When Nie Yi was still discussing matters with Qi Jingchen, Li Shu, who had left Nie Yi, headed to the confinement room that the secure base used for locking up those who were accidentally hurt by zombies or were suspected to be hurt by zombies.

Locked up in the confinement room he went to was Feng Qinyun.

After Nie Yi and his men were ambushed last night, he immediately used his authority to call the alarm, sealing off all the entrances of the secure base. Although two people weren’t caught, most of them were, including Feng Qinyun.

“Why do you want to do this? You are also a member of Yuncheng secure base.” Li Shu spoke to Feng Qinyun with a frigid expression.

Yesterday, when he ordered men to torture the captured people, there were some who very quickly committed suicide, but there were also people who weren’t willing to die and couldn’t bear the pain, and so revealed some things. After those people said they had come to kidnap Qi Jingchen, Li Shu killed them as well and only left Feng Qinyun behind.

“You were already going to chase me out; how can I still be considered a member of the Yuncheng secure base?” Feng Qinyun looked at Li Shu. In the end, he came from the special forces; even at this time, he was still strong-willed.

Li Shu did not speak and only quietly looked at him. Feng Qinyun didn’t have a good background; his family didn’t have money for him to continue his studies, so he packed up and went to be a soldier. Later, he relied on both his willingness to bear hardships and good physique to become a special forces soldier.

Being part of the special forces honestly wasn’t a great thing. On the contrary, it was extremely tough, and Feng Qinyun had several injuries.

He always felt that this man was a good man who was loyal and of indomitable spirit, but as a result... How did Feng Qinyun become like this?

Feng Qinyun also did not understand how he became like this either. Was it because he realised he was willing to risk life and limb, yet ultimately his position couldn’t compare to someone who didn’t experience anything and just got into a good military school? Or was it because he realised that if he had no backer, he could no longer get a promotion? Or perhaps it was because he saw someone marry a superior’s daughter then was able to have a meteoric rise?

He suddenly really wanted to stand out among his peers, then he discovered Li Shu’s interest in him.

After he got together with Li Shu, he really did get a promotion. With Li Shu’s protection, the people around him also became very respectful.

At first, he despised all of this. But later, he began liking power, and his ambitions also grew. Of course, even so, he never thought of hurting Li Shu, after all, he was his supporter. But the apocalypse arrived, and murder became so easy...

“Li Shu, did you ever like me?” When Feng Qinyun saw Li Shu’s apathetic expression, he couldn’t hold back from asking. Li Shu fired him and his men so quickly and broke up with him, giving him a feeling as if he was being played by him.

Did Li Shu genuinely like him? Or was it... that this person just thought of him as a plaything to relieve boredom that could be discarded at any time?

Feng Qinyun’s eyes were filled with fury. Li Shu looked at this person for a long time, and suddenly said, “I will kill you. You colluded with outsiders to harm the civilians of the secure base. This is a capital offence.”

Feng Qinyun knew many things, even that those people had come to capture Qi Jingchen... Li Shu did not know why they wanted to catch Qi Jingchen, but the people who knew this were getting fewer and fewer.

However, Feng Qinyun unexpectedly watched on as those people turned the secure base’s civilians into zombies... He could not keep such a person in the Yuncheng secure base.

“Li Shu, have you ever loved me?” Feng Qinyun asked again. For some reason, he suddenly really wanted to know the answer.

“What do you think?” Li Shu took out his gun, closed his eyes, and shot Feng Qinyun.

For eight whole years, he practically spent it all on Feng Qinyun. To help Feng Qinyun’s position to rise, he helped Feng Qinyun enter an examination for a military school, gathered all sorts of materials to learn for himself, then taught Feng Qinyun.

He had left school for many years, but for Feng Qinyun, he learnt it all over again. He even had a feeling as if he was going to take the exam for military school again and might get an astonishingly good result.

He even painstakingly learnt to cook and began to do his best to take good care of himself. Everything was nothing more than his desire to be with Feng Qinyun.

Speaking of, though Feng Qinyun was subsidised when he went to study in military school, because he knew that Feng Qinyun’s family was poor, he provided the tuition fees and living expenses. In the end, who knew whom the money was spent on.

Feng Qinyun was dead. Li Shu ordered his body to be cleaned out, then returned and crashed in bed.

Nie Yi already planned to return to the Chenguang team, but plans couldn’t keep up with the changes.

This night, the rumble of a helicopter sounded above them. Not long after, Li Shu sent men to visit them and said that there was someone from B City, and asked whether he wanted to meet them.

Li Shu’s subordinate spoke very comprehensively, and even stated the person who came from B City secure base. It was Zhao Chengqi’s men.

Zhao Chengqi once helped Nie Yi out a lot, so Nie Yi naturally wanted to take a look. And since he was going, he definitely wouldn’t forget to bring Qi Jingchen along.

“We’ll go too,” Ping Shengchao and Zhang Zihai said. Shao Zhenglan and Jiang Huai also walked out. “We’ll come too ba; we can just stand at the side.”

Previously Shao Zhenglan didn’t want to follow Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen to act as third wheels, so she brought Jiang Huai along and went to eat, so much that when Nie Yi and the others were in danger, she only found out at the end. At this time, she was a little embarrassed.

“Let’s go,” Nie Yi said and took Qi An’s hand.

Their team soon arrived at Yuncheng secure base’s central restaurant.

Yuncheng secure base’s central restaurant was constructed by the base’s officials. Not only did it use bricks, it even had ceramic tiles.

It was separated into three floors. The first two were open to the public and anyone from the secure base could come and eat here. There was a lot of fresh food here and the chefs’ culinary skills were superb, but the price was high. The third floor was made in a suite style and was frequently used to receive guests from B City secure base.

People from B City secure base always brought a lot of news, and the overwhelming majority of secure bases were extremely welcoming to them, especially when they realised that those ability cultivation methods really could be used.

Now, there were already many ability users who had reached level three and could faintly sense their spiritual strength, so they naturally could start cultivating.

The central restaurant in this newly built secure base could be counted as one of the best constructed. After Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen entered, they noticed that this restaurant had a few familiar faces— The leader of the Jinxing mercenary team, Liu Lixin, was with some of his members and a few women and children, eating at the window seat of the bottom floor.

They didn’t order much, and probably because of this, Liu Lixin did not move his chopsticks and instead kept an eye on the entrance, and immediately spotted them. “Nie Yi!”

Liu Lixin stood up and walked towards them. “Nie Yi, are you also here to eat? I said before that I would treat you to a meal, but unfortunately we didn’t have a chance. How about I treat you today?”

He also went to search for him a few days ago, but Nie Yi and Li Shu were together and it wasn’t right for him to intrude, so he returned. Now, they ran into each other again.

“No need. Today my uncle called me for business,” Nie Yi said, then asked, “You’re here to eat with family?”

Liu Lixin smiled before saying, “They aren’t my family. They’re the family of the members who were killed during our last run. Isn’t today New Year’s Day? So I brought them here to eat good food.”

No wonder Liu Lixin himself didn’t pick up his chopsticks and just watched other people eat... Nie Yi then chatted with Liu Lixin for a little longer, then went upstairs.

Although this restaurant’s first and second floor was open to the public, the second floor’s dishes were much better than the first floor, and was also more expensive... Seeing Nie Yi and the others head upstairs, Liu Lixin rubbed his nose and felt a little glad.

Fortunately he didn’t insist on paying the bill. Otherwise, even if he sold himself, he probably might not be able to pay for a single meal on the second floor by Nie Yi and the others.

Liu Lixin just assumed that Nie Yi and the others went to the second floor, but had no idea that Nie Yi went straight up to the third floor.

The third floor had a single corridor upon entry. One side was a resting room, while the other was a small lounge. This place was occasionally used for meetings, and was now used to receive people from B City.

After Nie Yi entered, he realised the guest was truly Zhao Chengqi’s subordinates. Back then, he even had contact with this person before, and knew that the other was called Jiang Pingshi, and that he was a little old-fashioned.

After greeting them, Nie Yi learnt that Li Shu had also just arrived, and Li Shu’s complexion was very ugly; who knew what he encountered.

Jiang Pingshi then took out some materials that B City secure base had collated and sent to each secure base. “This has pointers for growing plants during the apocalypse, and also methods to deal with zombie animals. You guys can take a look.”

During the apocalypse, both planting vegetables and dealing with zombie animals were extremely important. Almost immediately, Li Shu picked up the document and flipped through this. Seeing this, Jiang Pingshi then asked, “I hear that someone possessing dark ability appeared here. B City secure base has always been looking for someone like that. Can you explain in detail?”

During these months, Yu Xuguang was flourishing in B City secure base. He spoke about everything he knew, ‘predicted’ many matters, and also ‘predicted’ that a dark ability user would appear, then wantonly kill people.

Because the many things Yu Xuguang had said had come true, the secure base was very trusting of his words and naturally dispatched men to search for this ability user all over the country. This B City secure base person originally came here to send data and also contact during the new years, but when suddenly hearing someone mention what happened yesterday, he couldn’t sit still.

Dark ability user, a dark ability user that could control zombies to destroy a secure base... This wasn’t a minor matter!

Nie Yi looked at Li Shu, and Li Shu promptly spoke of what they encountered. After eating, he even brought those people to take a look at those shadow guards.

“All the captured ability users have committed suicide, while the ones they call ‘shadow guards’ have one surviving, as well as a few corpses.” Li Shu brought that person in.

When Nie Yi heard about all the ability users ‘committing suicide’ he understood why Li Shu had such an ugly expression, but he didn’t reveal any peculiarities on the surface. Then, they walked into the room and saw a living shadow guard and a few corpses.

Baobao Notes

Honestly, Xuguang being so... open about his rebirth is kind of dumb AHAHA. But then again, the author did say he wasn’t that smart. I guess that’s what someone would do if they had a sheltered life? I mean, it’s not like he didn’t have it hard, but imagine if he was in Jingchen’s place, tortured every day for two years. He would defo be too wary to openly admit to everything. At least, he would just imply things.

Ruru: Wow I didn’t expect Li Shu to just kill Fqy point blank... I thought there would be some emotional scene first HAHHAAH
