Boss’s Death Guide-Chapter 52 - W County Secure Base

Chapter 52 - W County Secure Base

Good son?

Yu Shuo had been staying in B City secure base, so that meant… the ‘good son’ Zhao Chengqi was speaking of was Nie Yi.

Before, when Nie Yi had beaten Yu Shuo up and ran away, Nie Boyuan was incredibly furious, and he didn’t believe he could handle the western base well either. As a result… Could it really be Nie Yi who had brought them back?

These years, Nie Yi had been studying in the southern region and Nie Boyuan didn’t interact with him much. However, in his memories, Nie Yi had always been someone who was a little too lively, and a little too unreliable. A few years ago, he was even thrown into the army by Nie Boyuan’s father because he had frequented various entertainment places with a group of spoiled children.

“Nie Yi is quite amazing. He only brought twenty over people and some additional ammunition, and when he returned, he brought back the entire base.” Zhao Chengqi’s face was filled with gratification.

Initially, Zhao Chengqi didn’t have much of an opinion on Nie Boyuan, and even had a pretty good relationship with him, but recently, Nie Boyuan had become increasingly displeasing to his eyes.

Letting Yu Shuo set Nie Yi up was already bad enough, but he had even wanted to suppress their military…

There was a reason why Zhao Chengqi thought this way; in fact, it was even related to Yu Shuo.

At first, Zhao Chengqi had some doubts towards Yu Xuguang’s sudden appearance, and didn’t trust him at all. But later, Yu Xuguang had been very hardworking, and his impression of Yu Xuguang had improved gradually.

And who knew how Yu Xuguang’s brain worked, he was actually able to suggest this many ways to use abilities… Moreover, he, a young man who had never left the base and never seen blood, could even keep up with the troops when they left the base, and had killed many zombies.

Even Zhao Chengqi’s impression of Yu Xuguang was good, so naturally the military ability users’ impression of him wasn’t bad either… And at this time, Yu Shuo actually began to target Yu Xuguang!

Zhao Chengqi didn’t have any ill will towards Yu Shuo in the past, but he felt more hateful towards him now.

To save more people and find more supplies, their military had handed over all the secure base’s various affairs to these people working for politics, and as a result, they wanted to hold them back?

“This kid is pretty good. He should be commended well,” an elderly smiled and said to Zhao Chengqi, then called Nie Boyuan over to ask him to arrange those people’s residency in the outer city.

Even though Nie Boyuan wasn’t very smart nor was he outstanding, he did things meticulously, and did have some merits.

While the secure base was having a meeting, Nie Yi brought his enormous troops and had already approached B City secure base.

There was no danger at this point, so Nie Yi called over those who had been following him.

These people weren’t in uniforms, yet had a special momentum when they walked together. It even made people feel like they were a single entity.

A team of ability users who had encountered them and directly followed after them came near, and upon seeing this, immediately asked the people nearby, “Brothers, are you guys the army? Why aren’t you wearing military uniforms?”

The person he pulled aside glanced at him and ignored him.

Seeing this conversely made those people more convinced that these people were the army. How else could they be so disciplined?

No one was living in the outer city yet, and it was only used to settle down those who had just entered the secure base. Therefore, there was basically only a city wall without any houses. And now, those people from the western region were getting off the vehicles one by one, and lined up to enter the outer city.

B City secure base didn’t inspect them individually as they had too many people. They only divided them into groups, then dispatched someone to watch over them.

When Yu Xuguang came out of the inner city, he saw such an enlivened scene. Discovering that the spirits of the people from the western region were quite well, his face inevitably broke out into a smile.

He had always remembered the western base’s situation in his last life. At that time, as a water ability user, he had come to provide water for the survivors of the western base, and ended up seeing that everyone had a desolate appearance. Everyone was weeping, and he had even witnessed someone commit suicide…

Initially, even though Yu Xuguang had wanted to help Nie Yi, he was still a little wary towards him and was worried that Nie Yi would still commit bad deeds. Now, he was feeling that Nie Yi was really great instead.

“Where’s Nie Yi?” Yu Xuguang had looked around, and finally found Zhang Zihai, who had been settling the western base’s people down with Ping Shengchao.

“Nie shao is over there.” Zhang Zihai pointed towards a place nearby.

Nie Yi&#k2026; was leading a group of earth ability users and building houses near the outer city walls!

This would’ve been fine, but he unexpectedly wasn’t building houses inside the outer city walls, he was building them outside instead!

“You guys aren’t entering the base?” Yu Xuguang looked at Nie Yi in shock, feeling incredibly confused.

“We’re staying outside the base today.” Nie Yi gave Yu Xuguang a smile, and his face revealed some gratitude. “Yu Xuguang, thanks a lot for telling us about those ability cultivation methods back then. I tried it out; it was very useful.”

Nie Yi taught his subordinates many things, and this couldn’t be concealed. Fortunately, Yu Xuguang had mentioned all of them in Base Two at the start in order to strengthen ability users as quickly as possible.

Before Qi Jingchen awakens to his ability, he has to tread carefully… Thinking in this way, the expression on Nie Yi’s face became slightly more genuine.

“It’s nothing,” Yu Xuguang said at once, then asked, “Should I find some people to help you guys out?”

“Just what I need!” Nie Yi said.

Yu Xuguang was happy to help Nie Yi and the others out, and quickly went to Base Two to call every earth ability user out.

Nie Yi and the others didn’t need so many earth ability users to build houses, but the common civilians needed help.

While Yu Xuguang was busy helping Nie Yi, Yu Shuo’s complexion was extremely ugly.

Previously, when Nie Yi left, even though he was unresigned, he had sighed in relief as well. After all, with Nie Yi gone, he was Nie Boyuan’s only son. Moreover… with how dangerous the outside was, who knew if Nie Yi would survive?

Yu Shuo couldn’t wait for Nie Yi to die outside, but Nie Yi had returned, and even got a great merit.

Things weren’t going well for him recently. Besides everything else, that Yu Xuguang… There was no bad blood between them, yet for some reason, Yu Xuguang was always causing him trouble… Sure enough, Nie Yi wasn’t so simple. After staying in B City secure base for only half a month, he had already roped in several people!

“Call all the ability users out, we’ll help as well,” Yu Shuo suddenly told the person beside him.

So what if Nie Yi saved those people and brought them back? He’ll bring every single one of them over to his side!

“Bring over the cameramen and whatnot. Tonight, the TV station will release the special interview we’ll be doing later. The same goes for the radio,” Yu Shuo continued.

Yu Shuo soon brought the ability users under him as well as various supplies outside and began to placate those who had just reached B City secure base. He looked very gentle, and quickly gave people a favourable impression of him.

Not long after, Nie Yi learnt about this.

“Boss, that Yu Shuo just knows how to do small tricks like this. Should we retaliate?” After Ping Shengchao learnt of Yu Shuo’s methods, he became incredibly indignant.

“No need. Since he likes doing tricks, let him do so,” Nie Yi bluntly said. Those who didn’t even dare kill zombies during the whole journey were just complete burdens. There wasn’t much need to care. As for Yu Shuo… After Qi Jingchen awakened and he didn’t have to look after him all the time, he’ll find the time to take a trip and get rid of Yu Shuo.

Of course, to be able to do this, he absolutely could not slack off on his cultivation.

“That’s true, his eyes are looking at just B City secure base anyways,” Ping Shengchao said.

“I’m going to see Qi Jingchen,” Nie Yi said, and soon found their truck.

In the truck, Qi Jingchen was talking to Xiaomao.

For the past few days, Xiaomao wasn’t in a good state and she didn’t really know how to use her ability, so Qi Jingchen didn’t care about her. But now, Xiaomao had gotten much better, and naturally, Qi Jingchen wanted to have a proper conversation with her.

“This is a gift for you.” Qi Jingchen gave Xiaomao a big packet of Shelly Senbei Rice Crackers.

Xiaomao was very small. This packet of rice crackers could cover up her entire body, and she shifted the packet downwards before looking at Qi Jingchen with a face filled with anticipation. “Is it really for me?”

“Of course it’s for you. But if you hold this thing, someone might snatch it away if they see it… Do you want to hide it?” Qi Jingchen said.

Xiaomao had never spoken much. She didn’t even open her heart to Mother Ping, who had always been taking care of her, but for some reason, she was very happy to listen to Qi Jingchen.

“I’ll hide it…” Right after Xiaomao’s voice fell, the rice crackers in her hands actually disappeared.

At first, she was stunned, then immediately broke into sobs. “Don’t hit me, it disappeared, I didn’t eat it…”

Probably because she had been beaten too fiercely in the past, it had left a psychological shadow on her. That was likely the reason why she would abruptly break down now.

“It’s fine, I saw that it disappeared by itself.” Qi Jingchen patted Xiaomao’s back and took out a wet tissue to wipe her face.

“I’ll do it!” Nie Yi just happened to see this right when he came in, and he wanted to snatch away the wet tissue in Qi Jingchen’s hand.

His body was large with a fiendish air, and rapidly rushing over like this promptly made Xiaomao cry even harder.

Qi Jingchen didn’t want to live and didn’t care about anything, and thus didn’t resist many of Nie Yi’s behaviours. But now, he had wanted to ask about space abilities, yet Nie Yi suddenly frightened Xiaomao into tears; this made him frown.

“Stop!” Qi Jingchen suddenly said.

Nie Yi subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

“If you’re displeased with me doing this, then don’t have anything to do with me in the future,” Qi Jingchen said.

“How can I have nothing to do with you?” Nie Yi hastily said.

“Then stand there; don’t scare people,” Qi Jingchen said indifferently and continued wiping away Xiaomao’s tears. Strangely enough, as he wiped them away, Xiaomao’s mood surprisingly calmed down and she stopped crying.

Nie Yi hated that he couldn’t throw Xiaomao away, but now that Qi Jingchen insisted, he couldn’t object either.

“You don’t have to worry. You just hid the biscuits; now you can take it out,” Qi Jingchen said at this moment.

Xiaomao had already stopped crying. She bit her lips and thought for a moment, then that packet of biscuits really did appear in her hands. She didn’t expect this at all, and was caught unaware and didn’t hold it properly. In the end, the biscuits fell on the floor.

“Ah!” Xiaomao picked up the biscuits, pleasantly surprised, and her eyes, reddened from crying, shone.

“Xiaomao is really amazing.” Right at this time, Nie Yi suddenly came over and squatted down to speak to Xiaomao gently.

Nie Yi had restrained all his anger and showed a smile, even squatting before Xiaomao. It immediately made Xiaomao less afraid of him, but she was still a little wary.

“Xiaomao, just now, you actually learned a magic trick. This uncle can do them as well, let uncle show you.” Nie Yi smiled and directly sat down cross-legged, then used his water ability to create a waterball for Xiaomao. He even used his outstanding spiritual strength and formed this waterball into various shapes.

A puppy made of transparent water laid down in Nie Yi’s palm, and Nie Yi said to Xiaomao, “Try touching it.”

Xiaomao looked at Nie Yi several times and finally gathered her courage to reach out, then touched the puppy in Nie Yi’s hand. At this moment, she was totally unguarded against Nie Yi.

Nie Yi immediately sighed in relief. Since being tough didn’t work, he could be soft! Wasn’t it just playing with children? It’s not like he didn’t know how.

Moreover, a space ability user who could store things ah…

In his last life, Nie Yi had heard of space ability users. At that time, the southern area had an extremely famous space ability user.

Space ability users couldn’t continuously preserve the freshness of the food in their space, but the food placed in another space had a slower rate of rotting. More importantly, the food inside would not be contaminated by the external environment.

If there was such an ability user by their side, and there was enough food stored in her space… Qi Jingchen definitely could live a lot longer.

“Xiaomao, hide the biscuits well ba, holding it is too inconvenient,” Nie Yi said.

To play with the ‘water dog’ Nie Yi had created, Xiaomao had already put down the biscuits. Hearing Nie Yi’s words now, she straightforwardly hid them. Her movements were extremely quick, without the slightest pause. After she was done, she had even looked at Nie Yi happily.

“Xiaomao, is there anything else in the place you hide things?” Nie Yi asked.

Xiaomao thought for a moment, then a palm-sized millet pancake abruptly appeared before her.

Previously when they had seen the injuries all over Xiaomao, Nie Yi had thought that she couldn’t control her ability and vanished many things, only then was she beaten. But he had never expected that what turned out was actually just a pancake.

When Nie Yi saw this pancake, he didn’t react at all, but Xiaomao suddenly began to sob. “I was only looking, I didn’t think I hid it.”

Nie Yi coaxed her again, and roughly understood the reason for her tears.

This child had always been starved, and once, seeing that there was a pancake in the house, she couldn’t help taking a few more looks. As a result, her dad suddenly returned and she became frightened, and unfortunately discovered that the pancake had disappeared…

It was likely that this child had been beaten back then, that’s why the flatbread in her hands had disappeared… Nie Yi patted her head, then passed her over to Mother Ping, who was sitting at the side and had already been thoroughly stupefied. “Take care of her well.”

“I will,” Mother Ping immediately responded.

Father Ping had gotten out of the truck to work, and the truck only had Mother Ping, Xu Nan’s wife, and Nie Yi’s two bodyguards. And at this time, the others had already turned stupefied as well, and just Qi Jingchen…

After Nie Yi took over Xiaomao, he had hugged his lettuce and began to relax with his eyes closed.

“Should I find a tablet to watch movies or a few books to pass the time?” Nie Yi asked in a low voice.

“Alright.” Qi Jingchen suddenly opened his eyes. Previously, he always had a splitting headache and didn’t have any interest in doing anything, but now his head didn’t hurt as much anymore.

In any case, since he can’t die for the time being, it’s fine to find something to do.

Seeing Qi Jingchen agree, Nie Yi immediately revealed a happy expression. What book should he give Qi Jingchen to read? Those gay love novels he had read when he had just discovered his own sexuality?

Nie Yi jumped off the truck, and just when he was about to look for some books, he was told that Zhao Chengqi had something to discuss with him.

Zhao Chengqi had already come to the outer city, and Nie Yi soon found him. “Uncle Zhao, is something the matter?”

“Nie Yi, the W County near B City has a small-scale secure base. Something happened there and they had dispatched people to come ask for assistance. Didn’t you say you were planning to travel all around? Do you mind going there to take a look?”

W County secure base? The secure base that had imprisoned Qi Jingchen in their last life? That… base he had planned to destroy while on the way? Nie Yi didn’t even need to think, and said, “I’m willing… What happened there?”
