Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 54 - Intercept And Kill

Nie Yi being interrogated by Nie Boyuan was nothing new, as he had often encountered this sort of situation in his past life.

It was clear to him that Nie Boyuan’s behaviour had something to do with Yu Shuo, but he was actually more dissatisfied with Nie Boyuan compared to Yu Shuo.

However, he had already killed Nie Boyuan once in his last life. His hatred towards this unreliable father of his wasn’t particularly strong now; as long as Nie Boyuan had no ill-intentions towards him, Nie Yi would not kill him if unnecessary.

Of course, he had long dismissed the notion of regarding Nie Boyuan as a father. He had been wilful for several years, and there was no way he would wrong himself.

Nie Yi looked at Nie Boyuan and sneered. “You’re really free.”

“Is this your attitude towards your father?” Nie Boyuan saw the insincere smile on Nie Yi’s face and was angered.

“What do you want from me?” Nie Yi questioned back.

Many people were following behind Nie Boyuan, and all of them were staff of the secure base. They had even praised Nie Yi in front of Nie Boyuan, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they saw this pair of father and son brimming with gunpowder. They were already somewhat dumbstruck.

Nie Yi had previously been very polite with other people and was very earnest while working. They never imagined that in private, he was actually like this... These people’s view of Nie Yi instantly changed.

“Nie Yi, you’re mad at Dad again?” At this time, Yu Shuo suddenly appeared and immediately said this.

He had come just because he had heard Nie Boyuan was coming over. After that, he saw Nie Yi clashing with Nie Boyuan, and couldn’t help becoming excited. He himself didn’t know what he wanted from Nie Yi sometimes, but he definitely knew that he wanted to replace Nie Yi, and possess all that he had.

In the first place, this father, Nie Boyuan, should have been his.

“You called him Dad pretty smoothly. It’s fine if you want to act like a benevolent father and filial son, but don’t come and hurt my eyes.” Nie Yi folded his arms across his chest and laughed in derision.

Many people in B City secure base knew of Yu Shuo’s identity by now; however, Yu Shuo was older than Nie Yi by three years and was born before Nie Boyuan’s marriage. Therefore, no one really condemned him, and even if there were— they all said Nie Boyuan had failed to take responsibility.

At this moment, those people by Nie Boyuan’s side had a growing feeling that Nie Yi was a little excessive.

“Nie Yi, how did you become like this?” Nie Boyuan furrowed his brows and looked at Nie Yi angrily. Yu Shuo gave the person beside him a look, asking him to take a few photos.

So what if Nie Yi had earned a great merit? Because of what he did last night, those survivors from the western area were grateful to him now, and the people in B City secure base all knew that it was him who had appeased those people throughout the night.

“Nie Yi, it’s fine if you don’t have a good attitude towards me, but you shouldn’t bully a woman,” Yu Shuo said. He had been observing at the side, and he knew why Nie Boyuan was angry.

At first, the woman who had been kneeling was actually a little frightened when she had seen Nie Boyuan and his group’s imposing manner. After all, she was just a regular woman, but now... The more she heard, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Last night, she did see this Yu Shuo. He had sent over many things, and they were all very grateful to him, but... This woman wasn’t one of those who didn’t put in any effort during the journey and only hid in the cars. She had also killed zombies and naturally had seen how Nie Yi and the rest had protected them.

Those who had never faced zombies during their travels took being protected for granted. Some who had disliked the fact that they lived badly during the journey, may even feel that Yu Shuo could empathise with them better compared to the cold and detached Nie Yi. However, she felt that this Yu Shuo only knew how to put on superficial displays of effort.

Otherwise, why did he not put in any effort to help with the building of the houses, yet when it was finished, brought over B City secure base’s food to curry favour?

At this moment, she had already stood up and looked at Yu Shuo. “What nonsense are you talking about? When did Nie shao bully me? Could it be that you yourself are full of vileness, that’s why you felt that other people can’t possibly be good either?”

Yu Shuo never imagined that he would be rebuked by this woman.

Ever since Nie Yi had reached B City secure base, he had always been observing Nie Yi and had soon concluded that Nie Yi wasn’t a good person. He had often argued with people over the slightest disagreement. This point could be reflected in many areas.

Because of this, when he saw the woman kneeling before Nie Yi just now, he had subconsciously thought that it was likely because that woman had offended Nie Yi... Could it be that it really wasn’t so?

“Nie shao saved us and I came to give my thanks due to my gratitude; how did it become Nie shao bullying me?” the woman said.

“That’s right, without distinguishing right or wrong, you want to fix an accusation on our Nie shao, you still have to see if we agree!” Zhang Zihai had always loved butting in, at this time, he spoke loudly, then raised his hand.

Those people who had been training at the side abruptly shouted at the same time, “Hoh!”

Being fiercely glared at by over 2000 people, even Nie Boyuan felt somewhat uncomfortable. He looked at Nie Yi, his expression extremely ugly.

Nie Yi didn’t even look at Nie Boyuan. Instead, it was the woman who had come to thank him, itching to let it all out probably because of the overly strong pressure from before, who said, “Why aren’t you guys leaving? Is it because you couldn’t succeed at accusing him once, and want to find another accusation?”

When Nie Boyuan and Yu Shuo left, they were in a somewhat sorry state. It was only after he had left when Nie Boyuan had remembered that he had even forgotten to ask who was in charge of that team.

But by this time, he didn’t have the face to turn back and ask. He could only leave quickly.

On the contrary, Yu Shuo didn’t go far. He had seen the one who was sitting on a nearby mound that was about two meters tall, Qi Jingchen.

The mound was something Nie Yi had helped Qi Jingchen set up, and now, a large beach umbrella was stuck on top of it and the floor had several layers of picnic blankets spread out. At the side, there were even two pots of yuejis that had bloomed rather well. Looking at this scene made people want to go over and lie down.

Yuejis were flowers that were very easy to grow, but it needed a little more fertilisers. If they wanted them to flower and bloom well, applying fertiliser was a must. However, they didn’t really tend to these yuejis, yet it still bloomed very well, and contrasted against Qi Jingchen and made him all the more beautiful.

Before the apocalypse, there was a saying: in this world, there aren’t any ugly women, only lazy ones. And this saying could also be applied to men. At that time, if some men were willing to properly wash their faces and paid a little more attention to their hairstyles and figures, this world would probably have a lot more hotties.

Even though the situation in the apocalypse was completely different, it was still extremely similar in some ways. Presently, most people were covered in dirt, and basically had no time to take care of their outer appearance; therefore, as long as they cleaned themselves up a little, it would give people a sense of a light before their eyes.

Qi Jingchen undoubtedly made himself very clean, and this was fine, yet his skin was getting fairer and fairer. His entire person even gave people a feeling that he was brimming with charm.

He was clearly just lazily sitting on the mound, yet it made Yu Shuo’s heart skip, recalling that time he had gone to the neighbourhood Nie Yi had lived in and saw Qi Jingchen sitting on the balcony window.

He suddenly somewhat understood why Ximen Qing wanted to possess Pan Jinlian after he was knocked on the head by a stick by her.

“Qi Jingchen, long time no see.” Yu Shuo smiled at Qi Jingchen.

Qi Jingchen indifferently swept his eyes across Yu Shuo, too lazy to speak.

“Qi Jingchen, you probably don’t like Nie Yi ba? Do you want to be with me?” Yu Shuo smiled as he asked, “Nie Yi is going to leave the base again. When the time comes, you’ll definitely live a destitute and miserable life... If you come with me, I guarantee that there’ll be people serving you well.”

Yu Shuo didn’t believe that Qi Jingchen really liked Nie Yi. If he truly liked Nie Yi, how could he treat him like that? Regard Nie Yi as a servant to order about?

In Yu Shuo’s opinion, this man brimming with temptation was together with Nie Yi just because he wanted to live well. And compared to Nie Yi, he could offer Qi Jingchen a better life.

Previously, even though he had considered seducing Qi Jingchen, this thought still dwindled a little, and he had spoken ambiguously. But this time, he spoke openly, “I truly do like you. As long as you’re willing to be together with me...”

Before Yu Shuo could finish his sentence, he saw Qi Jingchen smile.

Qi Jingchen had always had a cold face, and his languid appearance was particularly deceptive. It gave people an indescribable feeling that he was very erotic, and now that he smiled, it gave an entirely different feel.

When the clean youth smiled, his face had two dimples, and he had an innocent and pure appearance...

Yu Shuo had just been a little aroused by Qi Jingchen, but at this moment, he actually felt a little infatuated for some reason...

Then, he saw a shadow approach him. Unable to react in time, he felt a stab of pain on his head. Reaching up to touch it, his hand came away with blood.

Qi Jingchen had thrown over the coffee jar with the lettuce,and just happened to strike against Yu Shuo’s head. He stooped down to look at the coffee jar on the floor, and —after realising that the jar had rolled onto the floor but the lettuce he planted was perfectly fine— finally turned to look at Yu Shuo. “You’re really annoying.”

Yu Shuo’s eyes were practically aflame, and he was about to attack when his butt was unexpectedly set ablaze all of a sudden, and his clothes caught on fire.

Nie Yi stood nearby with folded arms, grinning as he watched Yu Shuo run off— He had always been keeping an eye on Qi Jingchen’s situation.

“Help me find a clean jar and replant my veggie,” Qi Jingchen said.

The lettuce’s colour truly was very nice, its appearance of brimming with vitality was something he liked looking at. If it fell and died, it could be his dinner; if it didn’t, then he’ll continue growing it.

“Yes!” Nie Yi happily went to look for a jar for Qi Jingchen, then found a powdered milk jar.

Qi Jingchen held the jar against his bosom and looked at Nie Yi. “Yu Shuo said you wanted to leave again. Where do you want to go next?”

Nie Yi touched the corner of his lips, then finally revealed a smile. “W County secure base.”

“Qi An’s there?” Qi Jingchen asked.

“How did you know?” Nie Yi subconsciously asked.

“Or else you wouldn’t have hidden it from me,” Qi Jingchen said. Last night, Nie Yi already knew where he wanted to go yet didn’t tell him; there definitely had to be a reason.

“...” Nie Yi paused for a moment before saying, “That fellow killed people, and stole things in W County secure base.”

“Oh...” Qi Jingchen nodded. “Let’s leave as soon as possible.” Qi An was too young now; if he was unlucky and was captured by other people...

“Okay,” Nie Yi said through gritted teeth.

In actuality, back in that year, he didn’t have much against Qi An. After all, he was just a child. But... Children would all grow up!

Moreover, after Qi An grew up, his worship of Qi Jingchen grew more fervent, and he had even changed his name.

That brat wasn’t called Qi Anbefore, he was clearly called Qi Junzhe!

“When the time comes, if it’s possible, don’t speak of my identity,” Qi Jingchen said. At that time, he had actually raised Qi An as if he was his own child. Now, even though he didn’t care about anything, he still didn’t want Qi An to see this appearance of his.

“Alright.” At this moment, a smile spread across Nie Yi’s face.

Crawling up the mound, cleaning up a little then sitting next to Qi Jingchen, Nie Yi suddenly thought of something. “You can even sense who’s an ability user, could you help me pick a few more people? At this time, there are probably a lot of people hiding their identity as an ability user, right?”

“Those who hid their identity as an ability user and stayed inside the secure base, unwilling to even leave the city, how do you want to use them?” Qi Jingchen replied with a question.

Previously, he didn’t have the ability of sensing ability users. Speaking of which, this ability had suddenly appeared. Being able to discover Xiaomao was related to his strong familiarity with Qi An’s energy fluctuations.

However, he didn’t plan to expose the ability users in hiding. Previously, some of the people hiding behind others in the western secure base were actually ability users, but these sort of ability users wouldn’t have much future prospects.

“That’s fair.” Nie Yi smiled, then abruptly said, “Before going to W County secure base, I want to go get some supplies. Come with me?”

Even though he was consulting him, Nie Yi had already stepped forward and picked him up.

Qi Jingchen didn’t mind this and didn’t refuse either.

The supplies Nie Yi wanted to get were actually 5000 sets of clothes and 5000 pairs of boots.

The group of people under him were now lacking a uniform. He thought about it, then requested 5000 sets of work clothes from Zhao Chengqi.

The secure base had now set up many factories, and a clothing factory was among them. However, their clothing factory wasn’t manufacturing those gaudy clothes from before the apocalypse; they were only manufacturing work clothes with sturdy materials.

This kind of work clothes was blue, and the long sleeves and pants had many pockets. Before the apocalypse, many workshop workers wore this, while during the apocalypse... Wearing this when leaving the base was quite good, and matching it with military boots would be even better.

There were many people in B City secure base, and the production capability of the clothing factory was also rather good. There wasn’t even any need to wait for the 5000 sets of clothes and boots; they could directly pick them up. However, the clothing factory wasn’t in the secure base, but was two hours away, so they had to pick it up themselves.

In his last life, Nie Yi had been to those factories who had been cleaned up by the base and had soldiers dispatched to watch over. Driving over this time, he could be considered fairly familiar with the road, and because this road was often cleaned up by people, they didn’t encounter many zombies.

However, he was still very careful.

His life before rebirth made him used to resolving problems with force and made him accustomed to observing the situation around him anytime and anywhere.

When the car turned a corner, Nie Yi abruptly stopped.

“Why aren’t they moving?” In a nearby house, a youth holding a pair of binoculars asked, puzzled.

“Some people have high vigilance,” the middle-aged man next to him replied, adjusting the pistol in his hand.

Nie Yi’s vigilance truly was high, but the reason he stopped was more due to his experience.

These people who wanted to ambush him, their methods were too simple, and their pretence was even more awful.

This time, Nie Yi had only come to get the clothes, so he didn’t bring the entire team of 2000. However, he was accompanied by Zhang Zihai and the others who had long been following him. At this time, he told Zhang Zihai, “Throw a few fireballs at the corner in front.”

Zhang Zihai said a word of assent, leapt off the truck and threw over a few fireballs...

A succession of explosions abruptly resounded from before them, and the enormous explosion brought over waves of heat as it rushed over.

“My ability is actually this amazing?” Zhang Zihai gaped in surprise, and right after that, he began to cough violently because dust had flown into his mouth.

And at this time, an object the size of a fist suddenly flew towards them. However, it was suddenly frozen and fell on the floor before it came near.

“You guys go over and kill everyone there.” Nie Yi pointed to a place and had the others go over.

Everyone knew that they had now probably encountered an ambush, and promptly rushed over.

“Be careful,” Nie Yi added.

Zhang Zihai and the rest obviously knew they had to be careful. It was just that, those people had firearms, and it’s not like they didn’t have them either!

When everyone left, Nie Yi held Qi Jingchen and jumped off the vehicle, and with a few lunges, disappeared without a trace.

His best skill was fleeing. Back when various bases spent a lot of effort in order to capture them, didn’t they still manage to escape? Not only did they escape, but it had also in passing made them know the secure base’s various weapons like the back of their hand...

“How did the two of them disappear?” The man holding the pistol had always been very calm, but his complexion shifted at this time, and the person by his side also felt uneasy.

“If one can use their water ability well, they could conceal their figure through means of water mirrors and water fog, or so on.” Right when the two of them were filled with unease, they suddenly heard a voice.
