Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 74 - Making A Move

In the end, the pig was killed and eaten anyway.

The pig had been brought back from a nearby pig farm, and because the pollution from raising pigs was rather great, the farm was built a little further away. It also had constructed a methane generating pit to channel water in, and a fence added around the perimeter. After the apocalypse struck, it became the asylum of a few dozen survivors.

They used the methane to ignite flames to cook their meals, and killed a few pigs to eat. They also ate corn, soybeans, and bran that would have originally been crushed into fodder. They surprisingly lived like this for several months before people from J City secure base discovered the place.

The people from J City secure base sent the sows to a nearby pig farm and had people rear them, and now brought out the meaty pigs that had long been neutered to sell.

The survivors were unwilling to feed these pigs too much, so they were a little thin, but if every part of their bodies were used, there was enough for everyone to have a good meal, and bone soup was surprisingly tasty.

Nie Yi cut out the best part of the pig, the pork belly, then found an electric grill and an electric generator.

The electric generators were used to provide electricity to the base for a brief time at night, and there were various powerboards with many electric sockets everywhere. Everyone in the Chenguang team took out their cellphones to charge.

It was increasingly difficult to get signal transmission now, and it was said that all satellites could not be contacted. Phones had been useless for a while, but the majority preserved them well. Now, everyone rushed to charge them, then began to look at their past photos, as well as their messages and Wechat.

Qi Yaoyao looked through the photos she had taken in the past. There weren’t many photos of the Qi parents from when they were young, and after she bought a smartphone with high camera resolution, she had taken a few photos of them. Back then, she had even told her parents that she wanted prints. In the end, she kept delaying, and up till now still had not printed them.

Shao Zhenglan sat beside Qi Yaoyao and watched as she went through her photos. As Qi Yaoyao looked, the rims of her eyes reddened. Her parents didn’t like being photographed and she hadn’t liked taking photos of others, so she had nothing in her phone now.

Fei Xuelei took out a packet of cigarettes from his side and smoked stick after stick. He also didn’t have photos in his phone, but there were some messages, as well as a recording of a phone call he made after the apocalypse occurred.

He didn’t even know where his wife and child were at this moment...

The Chenguang Team all began to recall the past, but for Nie Yie and Qi Jingchen, the pre-apocalyptic matters were already extremely distant. Qi An couldn’t even remember much.

As a result, the three of them used the electric grill and began roasting meat to eat.

“Roasted pork belly, it’s best to eat wrapped in lettuce.” Nie Yi looked at the especially fresh and tender lettuce Qi Jingchen was raising.

“You go pick a few from above and wash them clean,” Qi Jingchen said.

Nie Yi climbed onto the car roof and quickly brought down a few heads of lettuce. The ones with the most tender centers were left for Qi Jingchen, and the rest were distributed between himself and Qi An.

Nie Yi didn’t take much pork belly, so they naturally wouldn’t be full from only eating meat. As such, they roasted a few buns and so on. In the end, Qi Jingchen even nibbled on some tender corn.

After the electric generator supplied electricity for two hours, they cut off the power source, and Qi An was tossed out of the truck by Nie Yi.

The current weather was chillier, and it was extremely cold to sleep in the truck that couldn’t really retain heat, so Nie Yi found a double sleeping bag.

Qi Jingchen very calmly lay down in it. When Nie Yi noticed, he lay down beside him.

The double sleeping bag was intended for spouses or lovers, and two people sleeping inside were very intimate. Nie Yi touched the skin of the person beside him, and his body had a reaction. In such a narrow space, this reaction couldn’t be hidden from Qi Jingchen, and Nie Yi didn’t intend to hide it&#k2026;

Qi Jingchen frowned slightly and turned over so his back faced Nie Yi, and went to sleep.

Nie Yi was a little disappointed and slept on his side. After a while, he felt Qi Jingchen turn his head over and even approach him... Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Nie Yi heard Qi Jingchen’s voice. “There’s someone below us.”

“What?” Nie Yi was a little confused.

“There’s someone digging a tunnel underground. It’s quite interesting,” Qi Jingchen said.

Nie Yi finally understood what was going on. “They want to attack us so soon?” They had made a plan to ‘beat the grass to scare the snake’ and toss out some more ‘alluring’ information, then have the people behind the scenes attack them. However, they never imagined that their opponents would make a move so quickly.

The situation was outside of their plans, but since their opponents had already made a move, their plan naturally would also be put into action in advance.

“Those people are surprisingly decisive,” Qi Jingchen said. The leader having made a move so quickly was rather decisive, but also a little careless.

How odd; did they look easy to deal with? Why did they want to capture them? Clearly, Nie Yi had already displayed his might... Or perhaps there was still another purpose for this?

Qi Jingchen no longer spoke. He began to observe the people under his car and watched them carefully dig a tunnel. After watching for a while, he felt bored and turned his attention to the side.

There was a tent next to their truck and the people sleeping inside were Zhang Zihai and Ping Shengchao. The two of them were also unexpectedly sleeping in a double sleeping bag.

“Are you crazy?! We’re both big men, but you actually took a double sleeping bag!” Ping Shengchao couldn’t help saying. He had many things to do and so left such miscellaneous tasks to Zhang Zihai. As a result... How could Zhang Zihai have even done this?

“There’s nothing I can do about this either. This sleeping bag was taken from the warehouse of an online shop, and the best thing that online shop sold was the double sleeping bag... Moreover, like you said, we’re two big men, so what does it matter if we squeeze in a little?” Zhang Zihai said. Ping Shengchao really was too shy, he clearly liked him but just wouldn’t say it...

“Then can you not come over?” Ping Shengchao couldn’t resist saying.

“It’s such a small place, I don’t have anywhere to go either ah... Eh, do you want it?”

“Fuck off!”

“Want me to help you?”

“Are you crazy ah?!”

“Hey, it’s already the apocalypse. Let’s learn from Qi Jingchen and live our lives comfortably. Why care about social conventions and taboos anymore? Wouldn’t it be better to just help each other out?” Zhang Zihai said.

Ping Shengchao fell silent, rather, it was more like his voice had turned into light groans coming from his nose. Their breathing also began to speed up.

Qi Jingchen watched as someone used ‘learning from him’ as a reason to chase after someone, and couldn’t describe his feelings. As for the matter of Ping Shengchao and Zhang Zihai... He was already unsurprised by the unexpected.

During the apocalypse, such a couple was already considered very virtuous. After the pressure became greater, some people were willing to do anything... When he thought of this, he simply placed his spiritual energy on Nie Yi.

Nie Yi was quite capable of declaring his sovereignty. As long as those people knew him, they would all know that they were a couple, but... It seemed that Nie Yi hadn’t seriously confessed to him before?

In any case, there was also an issue with his body right now... Qi Jingchen was too lazy to remind Nie Yi, and so closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Early in the next morning, the first thing Qi Jingchen did after waking up was to take a shower.

Nie Yi used his fire ability to turn the truck warm, then used his water ability to give Qi Jingchen a bath. After that, he washed his pants and sleeping bag— An old man who never had a nightlife and had no opportunity to use his right hand discovered that he once again had sent his

into his underwear and the sleeping bag when he woke up. Those with the greatest ambition had even stained Qi Jingchen’s body.

The next day, the majority of the Chenguang team went out in search of supplies, and only about two hundred people were left in the camp. These people were the ones who had been responsible for night watch last night and currently catching up on sleep, as well as those responsible for guarding the camp during the day.

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen didn’t leave. The two of them called Mu Yi over and explained what had happened the past two days.

They had already spread the matter of someone in the secure base using ability users for experiments. If there were no accidents, this matter would be resolved very quickly, if no one obstructed them.

Mu Yi clutched the key her husband had left and hugged the box of ashes Nie Yi had given her, clenching her jaw as tears flowed continuously.

Before the apocalypse, she would also get angry with her husband on occasion, and those times were because of trivial matters, such as how this person actually soaked the dishes in water instead of washing them when she was home, and so on. Her husband would also occasionally think that she was too controlling, but when the apocalypse came, that man had protected her very well and the tons of delicious and nourishing food he brought back all went into her stomach...

Now, there was only a small mound of bone ashes left.

Right as Mu Yi felt it was hard to bear, Qi Jingchen suddenly said, “You should hurry up and return.”

Though Mu Yi didn’t know why Qi Jingchen suddenly asked her to leave, she left the truck while holding the box of ashes, then began to walk over to the place where she was staying.

She had only taken a few steps when a few sounds came from behind her. When she turned around, she saw the truck before her shift, then suddenly even the ground below it had completely sunken downwards, leaving behind a large pit.

“Help!” Mu Yi screamed, then saw several people emerging from the sides. Everyone surrounded the edges of the pit, and someone even jumped in immediately.

Qi Jingchen had long guessed those people’s methods and had also experienced too many matters. In reality, he couldn’t get scared by this, to the extent that he showed no signs of panic while sitting in the falling truck.

Of course, no one could see his expression, because Nie Yi carried him and jumped out of the truck in the first moments of the event. His face was buried against Nie Yi’s chest and he could only hear Nie Yi’s heartbeat.

Those people wanted to ambush him, but they had also found them and wanted to ambush in return. As a result, Nie Yi was very calm, but he soon realised he was a little overconfident.

“There’s poison.” Qi Jingchen smelled an acrid scent and immediately stopped breathing, but Nie Yi had already inhaled several breaths.

Feeling his mind become a little dizzy, Nie Yi didn’t hesitate to angrily bite his own tongue, crawling onto the top of the truck and leaping out of the pit.

After confirming that Qi Jingchen was safe, Nie Yi turned his head back to discover that two of the members of Chenguang team who had taken the lead to jump in had actually fallen onto the ground, and the rest were swaying.

“...” It seemed... a little embarrassing?

“Near this pit, I’ve already asked our ability users to dig a passenger and encircle this place. They can’t escape,” Qi Jingchen said, then complacently looked down. Among those people who were trapped, was surprisingly the friend Mu Yi had known.

Their enemies’ plans were actually quite good; if it wasn’t because they had known about this in advance, and they happened to fall down into the trap with the coma-inducing drug... Perhaps he and Nie Yi would have been captured before the others in the camp could react.

“Earth ability users, bring them up first,” Nie Yi said. Their enemies had to be brought up to be captured, and his own people also had to be brought up to be awakened... Thinking of this, Nie Yi again spotted the ones who wanted to strike his subordinates, and promptly poured water mixed with ice chunks over their heads.

The battle began.

Nie Yi and his men’s base was outside of J City secure base, and the earth ability users here weren’t quiet in the activities they performed. They soon attracted a lot of people over; at the same time, the battle had already quieted down.

At the present stage, there weren’t many level two ability users, so the people who came to attack them all had no trace of having ingested other ability users. Naturally, their strength couldn’t compare with the strength of the Chenguang team that had been trained by Nie Yi, and in the end, all of them were helpless to resist capture.

“Let’s go, we’ll ask for a statement.” Previously, those people had only supplied Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen something that would make them pass out if they inhaled it, and Nie Yi would only fall for this because he was used to the battle style of only relying on abilities that had been standard in the last stage of the apocalypse. However, it wasn’t much of an issue either, so he immediately walked out.

They had already guessed the location of that research facility, and now they could bring the common people over to look with great fanfare. This way, it was impossible for J City secure base to not provide an explanation.

Because Sun Chengzhi had previously told the people guarding the secure base entrance that Nie Yi and the others could freely enter the city, no one stopped Nie Yi and his men.

Carrying a few ability users in their hands, they spoke of encountering an attack when they entered the city, and also spoke of how someone in J City secure base was performing human experiments. Sure enough, it attracted the attention of many residents of J City secure base, and a crowd began to gather...
