Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 110 - Awaken

Edited by Ruru

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen were living in Nie Boyuan’s villa. The environment there was extremely good, but Qi Jingchen was unable to sleep peacefully. At the first glimmer of light, he was no longer able to sleep.

“What’s wrong?” Nie Yi felt the person beside him move again and asked hurriedly.

“Nothing,” Qi Jingchen said. Right at this time, some movements suddenly came from outside. Qi Jingchen swept his spiritual strength outwards, then smiled. “Your dad is back.”

Last night, Nie Boyuan received a call from Yu Shuo and left. As a result, he unexpectedly returned only now.

“Yes ah, he’s finally back. Who knows why he would have so much to say with Yu Shuo.” Nie Yi kissed Qi Jingchen’s face. He was now increasingly uncaring of Nie Boyuan. Even if Nie Boyuan went to see Yu Shuo in the middle of the night, he didn’t really feel anything.

Qi Jingchen hugged Nie Yi and returned a kiss before saying, “Liu Sao’s breakfast was very sumptuous.” His spiritual strength was wandering around in the house, so he naturally saw Liu Sao who was softly and quietly starting to cook.

Liu Sao took out all the eggs in the cabinet, and was extremely generous to them.

“Don’t look at other people, look at me.” Nie Yi kissed Qi Jingchen’s face again.

“What about you is good-looking?” Qi Jingchen said, but then flipped over to press onto Nie Yi before closely looking at his face. He looked for a long time, then finally couldn’t help saying ruefully, “There actually isn’t a single pimple or acne.”

Nie Yi “...” This guy actually wasn’t admiring his face but looking for pimples?

“Let’s get up ba.” Qi Jingchen felt the person below him having a reaction, and hastily got out of bed and began dressing.

After putting on clothes, Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi walked downstairs together. And at this time Liu Sao had finished preparing breakfast.

A pot of millet porridge, a few side dishes, and something that was probably pancakes with chive fillings at the side.

“Now the secure base has more chives, so I made egg pancakes with chives. Do any of you not like eating it? How about I prepare a plain pancake?” When Liu Sao saw Nie Yi, Ping Shengchao, Qi An, and the others all come down, she asked with a smile.

Chives could be considered one of the most common vegetables, but there were still many people that didn’t like it. However, that was before the apocalypse.

“Liu Sao, all of us like it.” Nie Yi sat down with a smile, then gave Qi Jingchen a pancake. He had told Liu Sao before that she shouldn’t use MSG when making meals. Therefore, aside from the piles of sausages on the table, Qi Jingchen was able to eat basically everything.

“That’s good, that’s good, you should eat more,” Liu Sao expressed happily, extremely satisfied upon glancing at Qi Jingchen. Although this child was male, he genuinely looked very handsome, and he was willing to travel around outside the secure base with Nie Yi, so it could be assumed that he was sincere to Nie Yi as well.

Liu Sao’s cooking was much better than Nie Yi’s. The flavour of the chives pancakes was extremely delicious, and when they were eating midway, Nie Boyuan came down from upstairs.

Nie Boyuan’s expression was rather ugly, but everyone was already used to him like this and conversely were unconcerned.

“Don’t you know to call me when eating?” Nie Boyuan asked with a cold face.

“I saw you coming home from outside early in the morning and even thought you already ate outside!” Liu Sao was worried that Nie Boyuan would lecture Nie Yi and immediately spoke.

Nie Boyuan was choked by Liu Sao’s words and instantly couldn’t speak. Nie Yi, however, said to Liu Sao, “Liu Sao, later I’ll accompany you to visit the hospital.”

“Go to the hospital to do what? It’s not like I’ve never been before, and my illness is almost recovered. Now, I just hope you can peacefully stay in the secure base and not run around outside. Like this, I don’t have to worry all day.” Liu Sao patted her chest and looked at Nie Yi expectantly, hoping that Nie Yi would agree to stay in B City secure base.

Nie Yi also knew that Liu Sao would definitely be worried if he travelled outside, but he still couldn’t possibly stay here. After all, it was unknown as to when Qi Jingchen’s ability would awaken.

Nie Yi didn’t agree to stay, and Nie Boyuan’s heart thumped. He couldn’t help saying, “What part of B City secure base isn’t good? To make you long to run out all day!”

“At least there’s no one outside that’ll bother me,” Nie Yi said.

“Are you still planning to leave?” Nie Boyuan’s face turned cold.

“Of course; do you think I’d stay here to get nitpicked by you?” Nie Yi asked in return.

Nie Boyuan’s face sank. Now, the more he looked at Nie Yi, the more he felt that Nie Yi was probably reborn. Nie Yi was protecting that Qi Jingchen in an airtight manner and was bringing Qi Jingchen along to run around outside. Perhaps that Qi Jingchen might genuinely be a dark ability user! Precisely the dark ability user who had once destroyed a secure base and killed several experts.

The name ‘dark lord’ made Nie Boyuan feel his teeth ache from reading it, but when thinking about the various matters of this guy that Yu Xuguang had described, a chill emanated from the bottom of his heart.

He originally had no favourable impression of Qi Jingchen, who had led his own son astray, and at this moment he was even more eager to tear his body to pieces, but he also dared not reveal it.

Everyone had just ate when four people suddenly came from outside. They approached while carrying a fish tank, then placed it at the villa entrance. “Chief Nie, we got a few fishes from the fishery outside, so we came to send them to you.”

The fish tank was probably used as decoration in the home of someone rich and was used to raise goldfishes. It was extremely gorgeous; even if the fishes inside were very common, it was still quite good-looking.

Towards such a good-looking fish tank, Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen merely casted a cursory glance, but Xiao Mao was very excited. “Fish!”

Nie Boyuan walked to the entrance and wrote his name in the delivery form, then said to Xiao Mao, “Xiao Mao, want to look at the fishes?”

It had been very long since Xiao Mao last saw fishes. She excitedly walked towards the fish tank. Seeing this, Qi An also followed and even couldn’t help drooling.

During the middle of the apocalypse, there simply weren’t any fishes that could be eaten. He only tasted fish after being reborn, and now wanted to eat them again.

The two children were wandering around the tank and looking at fishes, while Nie Boyuan walked out of the villa. Right at this time, two people who had been carrying the tank suddenly made a move!

They swiftly snatched up Xiao Mao and Qi An. The tranquiliser needles in their hands were injected into their necks, then they ran out while holding the children.

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen both reacted very quickly but were still unable to stop them, especially the two carrying the children which made them simply afraid to use Nie Yi’s hybrid ability that had a greater lethality.

Two of the four people who had carried the fish tank over had abducted Xiao Mao and Qi An, while the other two tossed two smoke bombs into the house. This sort of smoke was able to turn one unconscious. Fortunately, Nie Yi was long experienced and his water ability formed a curtain and swept over in the sky and instantly diluted the smoke.

But even so, they still delayed some time because of this.

“Charge out!” Seeing this situation, Nie Yi said without a second thought. He had gone through many dangers, and sometimes he would make the best response instantly without having to think too much.

Though the reasons for these people were unknown, but if they were to continue staying in this house, perhaps they would ultimately be caught like turtles in a jar; it was different if they charged out!

Of course, he did this also because he wanted to save Qi An. he did not know who was the attacker, but no matter what, he could not allow Qi An to fall in the hands of others!

Picking up Qi Jingchen and then carrying him on his back, Nie Yi rushed out. After rushing out, he realised that the situation was much worse than he had imagined.

Outside this villa area, in a place their spiritual strength definitely wouldn’t explore, there were unexpectedly many people in hiding!

Those people were all ability users. Behind them were even a few armoured cars, and this whole neighbourhood was already surrounded.

“Nie Yi, you and your men shouldn’t resist. Cooperate with us, and we will guarantee that you won’t be hurt.” Zhao Chengqi stood up from an armoured car and spoke to Nie Yi.

Regardless of how the Nie Yi of the apocalypse that Yu Xuguang had experienced behaved, the Nie Yi he knew absolutely wasn’t a bad person. So as long as Nie Yi was willing to obey, he definitely wouldn’t let Nie Yi be hurt.

But Qi Jingchen...

This world was already covered with all sorts of dark energy. In a piece of land with dead zombies, after being ‘irrigated’ by the black water in the zombies, they could no longer grow plants. According to what Yu Xuguang said, all the plants would even turn into dark plants from the dark energy... In such a situation, they didn’t need the emergence of a dark ability user who could control zombies!

Zhao Chengqi looked at Nie Yi, wanting to see his reaction.

“Uncle Zhao, what’s the meaning of this.” Looking at the ability users looking at him warily and weapons aimed at him, Nie Yi’s face turned cold.

“Someone said the Qi Jingchen beside you is a dark ability user and will destroy the world. Nothing will happen as long as you give him to us,” Zhao Chengqi said. “Don’t worry; if there aren’t any problems with him, we swear we won’t hurt him.”

When Nie Yi heard Zhao Chengqi, his heart nearly stopped beating.

Their identities were unexpectedly exposed.

Zhao Chengqi wouldn’t speak lies. Nie Yi knew that, but he couldn’t give Qi Jingchen up.

Even if Qi Jingchen might not awaken to his ability right now, to hand Qi Jingchen over meant that those people would definitely realise Qi Jingchen’s special constitution.

How could they hand over Qi Jingchen with Qi Jingchen being like this? After the previous ambush, Nie Yi would carry a belt on him. He took the belt out from under his clothes and tied Qi Jingchen to him.

Qi Jingchen laid against Nie Yi’s back and pressed a kiss against Nie Yi’s nape. In the past, he was doubtful and didn’t know why he would like Nie Yi, but he understood now.

Because he knew that Nie Yi would never abandon him.

“Nie shao, what’s going on here?” Zhang Zihai couldn’t help but ask.

“We’ve encountered a small inconvenience. If you guys don’t want to be a burden to me, hurry up and leave,” Nie Yi said, then suddenly rushed to where Qi An and Xiao Mao were.

With a wind ability user present, the words Nie Yi said were clearly heard by Zhao Chengqi. After that, his heart began sinking. Nie Yi was unwilling to cooperate, and was even unwilling to have a good discussion with them... there definitely was something wrong with Qi Jingchen!

If Qi Jingchen had a problem, in consideration of the secure base’s safety, they could not keep Qi Jingchen.

Zhao Chengqi did not speak, but someone beside him had already spoken. “Attack!”

After speaking, he even glared at Zhao Chengqi. “Nie Yi and this Qi Jingchen clearly have a problem; does General Zhao want to deliberately slack off?”

Zhao Chengqi did not speak. With the situation before him, he truly couldn’t stop any more... With what Yu Xuguang had said, even if Qi Jingchen was fine, they still had to capture him first.

He just hoped that Nie Yi wouldn’t resist.

How could Nie Yi not resist? At this time, he had already rushed into the crowd. Zhang Zihai and Ping Shengchao were both stunned, then followed after charging in. Shao Zhenglan and Jiang Huai had also instinctively rushed over.

After rushing over, Shao Zhenglan couldn’t help cursing in her heart. What in the world did Nie Yi cause? To actually attract so many people to besiege them?

It was just that even though she was cursing in her heart, she was already habitually starting to fend off attacks with earth walls to aid Nie Yi. At the same time, a tunnel appeared before her eyes, and she even leapt in immediately—This move was handed over to her by Nie Yi, as she could escape underground and could enter the masses of enemies, then... save people.

Shao Zhenglan didn’t like brats at all, but regardless of whether it was Qi An or Xiao Mao, neither of them were naughty brats, so she quite liked them. Moreover, she knew very well that if they wanted to escape now, they must rely on Qi An’s ability.

Shao Zhenglan’s whole body entered underground, while Nie Yi and the others encountered a slight inconvenience.

They had too many opponents. Their surroundings were full of ability users. Faced with so many enemies, it was very, very hard for them to escape unscathed... Of course, this was also beneficial—With so many people surrounding them, the explosives of the armoured cars at the back couldn’t be used!

The last time when they were ambushed in Yuncheng, those shadow guards and ability users all did not attack Qi Jingchen. Although Nie Yi still protected Qi Jingchen, it was overall still more relaxed. But this time, all the attacks were aimed at Qi Jingchen.

Qi Jingchen now didn’t have any fighting capabilities at all; even if he could defend against some attacks with his spiritual strength, it was just a few...

Seeing a fireball about to hit Qi Jingchen, Nie Yi kicked out and directly kicked away the fireball, but his leg was also burnt.

But this was just the beginning.

After his leg was burnt, his body gradually had more and more wounds.

Nie Yi was pained, and Qi Jingchen naturally would also feel pained. Right now, there wasn’t a single part of his body that wasn’t in pain aside from his back, and the reason his back didn’t hurt was because he was lying on Nie Yi’s back—Nie Yi wouldn’t allow those attacks to hurt him, so naturally his back was unharmed.

Qi Jingchen gritted his teeth and did his best to block those abilities attacking him with his spiritual strength. However, doing this spent a lot of spiritual strength, and soon he didn’t dare to use his spiritual strength any more, intending to save it for a more critical juncture.

Right at this time, he realised that Nie Yi was wasting spiritual strength —He rested against Nie Yi’s back, but his arms and legs were wrapped around Nie Yi. Sometimes, some attacks looked about to hurt his limbs, yet Nie Yi would stop them with his spiritual strength.

Nie Yi probably didn’t dare use too much of his spiritual strength, and when intercepting those attacks he could only deviate the attacks slightly, then the attacks that should have hit him landed on Nie Yi...

Although the attacks with greater lethality were all blocked off by Nie Yi beforehand, these were all basically wind blades and ice blades. Even so, Nie Yi had turned into a bloody figure!

Qi Jingchen had already bit into his finger and fed Nie Yi some blood, but the effect wasn’t large. If this continued on, perhaps they would only be facing death.

Could it be that they were truly about to die here?

When he was just reborn, Qi Jingchen wholeheartedly wanted to die, but now that he was trapped in a dangerous situation by someone, he sudden became unwilling.

That person scheming against him and Nie Yi behind the scenes weren’t dead, and these people who wanted to kill them weren’t dead, so how could he die?

Especially the mastermind behind the scenes. That person nearly killed Nie Yi last time, and this time led them to be caught in dire straits... Even if he were to die, he absolutely must have that person die before him!

He couldn’t die! At the very least, he couldn’t die now!

He needed great power! If his ability could awaken, and he could call on that many zombies like in his last life...

A warm current suddenly appeared in Qi Jingchen’s chest, then spread all over his body before rushing to his head.

The place where there ought to be a nucleus in his brain seemed about to rip apart; the stabbing pain dazed Qi Jingchen’s entire body.

This feeling was completely different from when he awakened his ability in his last life, but also shared some similar aspects. When he awakened his ability that time, his whole body was weak, and he didn’t have any fighting strength at all. If it weren’t for Nie Yi coming to the rescue, perhaps he would have been torn apart by zombies; it was the same this time.

He was originally holding Nie Yi firmly, but when he started awakening, his entire being softened, and his throbbing head even made him unable to use his spiritual strength.

To begin awakening at such a time, it was unknown whether it was good or bad. But since the awakening had already begun, it couldn’t stop.

Leaning against Nie Yi, Qi Jingchen could only hope that Nie Yi could persevere a little longer. He used the last of his strength to squeeze his hand and allow more blood to flow out, then his entire being was no longer able to move.

With him like this, he didn’t know whether it would affect Nie Yi... as Qi Jingchen thought this, his head hung down uncontrollably, and precisely because of this, he suddenly saw someone rush out from the villa...
