Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 90 - Bald

The flame in the mountains was getting bigger, and Ping Shengchao led people to tirelessly fight the fire. However, the results weren’t much because the fire was burning downhill, and the fire was nearly surrounding them. Later, Ping Shengchao simply had those without abilities or those whose abilities weren’t suitable for putting out fires to retreat, only leaving the fire, water, and earth ability users behind.

At first, Ping Shengchao had thought that the main force involved in extinguishing the fire would be water ability users like him. However, it was the exact opposite. In the end, the ones best at putting out the fire were the earth ability users. They overturned the soil, and not only could they extinguish the flames, but they could also even create a few separated zones to prevent the large fire from burning all the way to them.

The large fire that went on as far as the eye could see burnt for a whole night before extinguishing. And at this time, Ping Shengchao and the rest finally reached the peak of the mountain.

Having fought with fire for the whole night, their group had been completely surrounded by flames and smoke, which had caused their faces to turn black. Many of them even had burn injuries, and their clothing was even burnt to pieces. The ones in the worst states were undoubtedly Ping Shengchao and Zhang Zihai.

The current weather was cold, and there was no heater or air conditioners, so most people would wear long underwear or pants when sleeping. Even if they hadn’t managed to put on clothes in time, they at least had these types of clothing covering them, and wouldn’t feel cold due to the great blazes around them...

But Ping Shengchao and Zhang Zihai... they slept under one blanket, were both at the prime of their life, and Zhang Zihai was even a fire ability user; naturally they wouldn’t feel cold at all— these two were just wearing boxers when they ran out!

Although they later both wore coats, their legs were still bare... Previously, Ping Shengchao’s leg had accidentally gotten caught by a lick of flame, and a patch had become blistered while the surrounding leg hair was completely burnt. With a stroke, it became ashes and fluttered down.

However, he simply could not care about this. At present, his expression was incredibly ugly as his fist was clenched tight. All his nerves were stretched taut, and he seemed ready to aggressively explode at any time, but at the same time, it was also as if a single poke would lead to him deflating thoroughly.

Yesterday they had busied around for a whole night, but Nie Yi still did not appear...

Nie Yi wouldn’t possibly abandon them without even a single order, so the current situation only had one possibility: Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen were in the mountains.

Although Nie Yi was very powerful, he didn’t have an immortal body. With such violent explosions... Ping Shengchao gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to mention the word ‘death’, but his train of thought couldn’t help heading in that direction...

As for Qi Jingchen... Qi Jingchen’s body was even weaker than a regular person. He was extremely delicate, so at this time, he might have died long ago...

Ping Shengchao walked at the very front with a cold face. When walking, a chunk of burnt branches chafed against his lower legs and created a series of blisters, but he didn’t react at all.

Zhang Zihai was walking behind Ping Shengchao. When seeing Ping Shengchao’s appearance, he felt a burst of heartache, but ultimately said nothing. He also respected Nie Yi deeply. Now that something had happened to Nie Yi, he honestly wouldn’t have cared about such minor injuries.

“Is Nie shao really in the mountain?” Chu Yunxie’s hair was completely burnt, and she asked while touching her hair. She broke the silence that surrounded everyone, hoping to get a definite answer.

Ping Shengchao did not speak, but he knew that Nie Yi was most likely on this mountain... He could even hear Nie Yi’s voice...

Wait a minute! He heard Nie Yi’s voice?!

Ping Shengchao suddenly turned to look at the source of the voice. At the same time, Nie Yi’s voice bore through once more. “Jingchen, I know I was wrong. I’m sorry, but don’t abandon me ah!”

This mountain was already cleanly burnt, and there were no more plants and animals. They didn’t make any noise either because of their heavy mood. As such, Nie Yi’s voice was especially clear, and especially... high pitched.

Everyone looked over only to realise that the voice seemed to have come from a distant explosion crater. When this sound appeared, someone was even crawling out of the crater.

That person’s clothes were a little wrinkled and dirtied, but still without a scratch. His face was completely clean, and was just as good looking and alluring... Who else could it be but Qi Jingchen?

They all looked like refugees who had climbed out of a fire pit, yet Qi Jingchen who was at the core of the explosions and fire only had slightly dirtied and wrinkled clothes; not even his hair was burnt!

Ping Shengchao and the others had a deep sense of helplessness. It was as if as long as Qi Jingchen appeared, they would instantly be compared and downgraded...

Once Qi Jingchen crawled out of the crater and stood up, he didn’t even have a surprised expression when seeing Ping Shengchao and the rest. He only gave them a light nod. In the crater behind him, however, Nie Yi’s voice rang out again. “Jingchen, Jingchen, don’t go ah... Even if you want to go, just give me a shirt... Otherwise, go find Ping Shengchao and have him send me clothes...”

Clothes? Ping Shengchao looked over in confusion, then saw a head poking out of that pit. A... bright and shiny, bald head.

The face below that bald head&#k2026; was Nie Yi!

Ping Shengchao’s other half, Zhang Zihai, was bald.

After a moment of callousness when Nie Yi burnt Zhang Zihai’s hair, Zhang Zihai had simply shaved his head bald, then realised&#k2026; being bald was truly quite convenient.

In the past, he had to wash his face every few days, but now, he just had to wipe his head when washing his face! It was both convenient and saved him the hassle!

Ping Shengchao had always cared about his looks and his hair, so now, though he no longer tied pigtails, had also found a survivor who had been a hairstylist pre-apocalypse to cut his hair. Because of this, he had never liked Zhang Zihai’s bald head.

But he got used to it after seeing it for a long time, and was too lazy to care anymore.

However, just because he was too lazy to care didn’t mean that he felt being bald was good-looking. Suddenly discovering his boss becoming bald even made him feel as if he had been struck by lighting.

His family’s boss was very handsome and was still good-looking even if he turned bald. But bald-headed was still bald-headed...

People who were good-looking while bald was definitely even more good-looking when not ah!

Fine ba, he shouldn’t be tangled up about this now... After Ping Shengchao saw Nie Yi, his heart that had initially been lifted and later sank, finally returned to where it should be. “Boss, it’s great that you’re okay!”

As he spoke, they quickly walked over to Nie Yi.

However, they had just taken a few steps when they heard Nie Yi’s voice: “Stand right there!”

Ping Shengchao stopped and instantly did not move, then saw Nie Yi look at them. “I’m fine. You guys go back and take a good rest.”

“Boss, you’re really fine?”

“I’m fine. I’m great.” Nie Yi emphasised.

Of course he was fine.

He previously thought that he undoubtedly had to die, but he had survived; so much that when he woke up, he even realised that there wasn’t a single injury on him. Qi Jingchen was even lying on his chest, his fair cheek pressed against his chest.

At that time, Nie Yi couldn’t quite distinguish whether it was his imagination or reality, and even suspected that all of this was fake and just a facade he had fantasised about at death’s door. However, he soon realised it really wasn’t. All of it was so realistic after all.

This didn’t make him happy; on the contrary, he was a little fearful.

In the previous explosion, he had shattered both his nuclei. After they had shattered, he would no longer be able to use his ability, and he would become an ordinary person that could be infected by zombies with the slightest carelessness... If he truly became like that, how could he continue staying by Qi Jingchen’s side? How would he give Qi Jingchen a good life?

Qi Jingchen would become very strong in the future, but he would just be a useless person. Could he still continue being this intimate with Qi Jingchen? Did he still have the qualifications to stand by Qi Jingchen’s side?

But he didn’t want to die either. He wasn’t like Qi Jingchen; as long as Qi Jingchen was alive, he wouldn’t want to die— Even if he couldn’t be intimate with Qi Jingchen and could only watch from afar, he still did not wish to die.

This thought flashed through Nie Yi’s mind, and as he held Qi Jingchen tight, he looked over his ability nucleus.

The first was to be able to take a little more advantage of Qi Jingchen, before he was unable to do so anymore in the future. The latter... was because he still had a bit of hope.

He had previously sustained such heavy injuries but was now completely fine probably because Qi Jingchen had fed him blood.

During the crisis’ critical juncture, he did not refuse the blood in his mouth to be able to protect Qi Jingchen, and the results of Qi Jingchen’s blood were always extremely shocking.

Perhaps this could also restore his ability nucleus?

Although he had such wishful thinking, Nie Yi knew that it wasn’t a large possibility. The largest secure base in the southern area in his last life was S City secure base; there was a powerful ability user from that secure base who had shattered his ability nucleus in order to protect his friend during a zombie battle. After that friend of his later became a person of power in S City secure base, he had used many materials to exchange with W County secure base for the panacea to cure him, but he still did not recover...

Nie Yi thought that his body would be fine but his ability nucleus would most likely be unsalvageable. However, when he entered his brain with his spiritual strength, he saw an ability nucleus in his brain!

His brain still had an ability nucleus!

However, what originally should have been two ability nuclei had unexpectedly become one, and this one looked very ugly.

The fire ability nucleus was crimson and bright-coloured, while the water ability nucleus was colourless, sparkling, and translucent. Both ability nuclei had its own beauty, but the ability nucleus in Nie Yi’s brain had become a dusty grey. Not only that, he couldn’t even use his ability.

He couldn’t even form a small fireball.

Could it be... because he drank too much of Qi Jingchen’s blood, he now had a dark ability like Qi Jingchen? But shouldn’t a dark ability’s ability nucleus be black?

Nie Yi was a little confused, but since the ability nucleus was still here, he had a possibility of restoring his strength! Nie Yi instantly wasn’t as pessimistic as before, instead pulling Qi Jingchen towards him and giving him a few kisses.

Qi Jingchen’s face was very pale; Nie Yi worried whether he had been hurt, so after a few kisses, he groped around Qi Jingchen’s body, wanting to check Qi Jingchen’s physical condition.

Then, Qi Jingchen woke up...

Once Qi Jingchen woke up, Nie Yi immediately got closer excitedly. Qi Jingchen however, did not respond at all, even coldly ordering him to let go.

Nie Yi obediently let go, but Qi Jingchen still ignored him, then began to climb out of the crater they were in...

Qi Jingchen was angry! Nie Yi immediately realised this. He understood Qi Jingchen very well, and almost immediately guessed the reason for Qi Jingchen’s anger— Qi Jingchen definitely did not wish for him to risk his life to save him, even asking Nie Yi to survive to avenge him.

The person he liked getting angry naturally meant he had to be coaxed, so Nie Yi said nice words to coax him. However, before he had managed to coax Qi Jingchen, Ping Shengchao and the others had come in...

Initially, Nie Yi had intended to chase after him bare-bodied. At that time, even if Qi Jingchen was angry, he wouldn’t really have him strolling outside naked and would at least give him a shirt. However, there were outsiders now, so doing this wasn’t suitable. Nie Yi then pondered over asking Ping Shengchao and the others to return first while he properly admitted his wrong and have Qi Jingchen forgive him.

Ping Shengchao, however, did not know of Nie Yi’s intention. But seeing Nie Yi’s unimpeded body, he did not insist on staying. Honestly, once compared to Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi, they truly looked much more miserable...

“Boss, then we’ll take our leave first,” Ping Shengchao said, then led everyone to head back.

They did not dare say anything in front of Nie Yi, but once they reached the waist of the mountain, someone took the lead in saying, “Nie shao is truly too amazing!”

“That’s right, just too amazing! Such intense explosions, yet they’re completely unharmed... No, they can’t be said to be completely unharmed...” Nie Yi’s hair was gone. Previously it was just a little burnt, but now it was completely nothing...

“Who knows how Nie shao obstructed the explosions!”

“We definitely have to increase our efforts. We did not even face explosions, but in the end, we couldn’t even extinguish a bit of fire...”

“Speaking of, extinguishing fire this time, I feel like my control over fire ability has gotten stronger. What about you guys?”

“My understanding of water ability has deepened too!”

While these people spoke and headed downhill, those Z County ability users who came to help at the beginning had their hearts a little off-balance because they had busied around all night and gotten injured only for Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen to be completely fine. Later, hearing those Chenguang Team people discuss the use of abilities, they instantly had no time to think about this and instead focused on listening.

Instead, it was Ping Shengchao who simply could not concentrate on listening now... At present, the mountain fire had completely been put out and the cold wind blew against his naked legs; he was about to freeze to death!

Previously both his legs were burning hot, and now they were blown by the cold wind. He truly was unfair to his legs. In the future, he definitely wouldn’t take his clothes off and wear only his boxers just because Zhang Zihai said sleeping with skin against skin was more comfortable!

Speaking off, thank goodness he insisted on not sleeping naked to avoid accidentally getting turned on, otherwise... Hehe!

Ping Shengchao, who in any case had boxers covering his vital parts, headed downstairs, while Nie Yi who didn’t even have boxers was still in the hole.

The mud in the pit only had that two pieces of cloth that was on his chest and was clearly unusable... Nie Yi looked at Qi Jingchen standing by the pit and once again asked for forgiveness. “Jingchen, I’m sorry. I swear I won’t do this next time!”

“Then what will you do next time?” Qi Jingchen turned his head back.

Nie Yi paused, then said, “Next time, if we were to die, we’ll die together.” These words honestly sounded great, but Nie Yi felt that if he were to really encounter a dangerous situation, he would still be unwilling for Qi Jingchen to die...

“I didn’t want to live in the first place; I have no use for your rescue!” Qi Jingchen could see Nie Yi’s hesitance and coldly snorted. “Next time, if something like this happens, I’ll die for you to see!”

Nie Yi: “...” When together with Qi Jingchen, the plot always became very strange... He saved Qi Jingchen, so Qi Jingchen clearly should feel deeply grateful and devote his life to him. Why was it that it ended up becoming Qi Jingchen threatening to die for him to see if he did this again?

Nie Yi turned silent. Instead, Qi Jingchen took a few steps forward, standing at the edge of the pit and looking down at him from above. “Nie Yi, remember this. If you die, I won’t live either.” Clearly this should have been words of confession, but Qi Jingchen’s voice was cold, and his tone contained menace.

Nie Yi looked at Qi Jingchen, and he couldn’t describe the feelings in his heart. He was suddenly a little glad he was still alive. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s good that you know you’re wrong.” Qi Jingchen swept his gaze up and down Nie Yi. After he woke up and realised Nie Yi’s injuries had recovered, he no longer looked closely at Nie Yi’s appearance. Now that he looked... Qi Jingchen stared at Nie Yi’s naked body, and the corner of his lips couldn’t help twitching a little.

At first, he resisted and didn’t want to laugh, but in the end, he still began laughing. The more he laughed, the more joyful he became, so much that he ended up laughing heartily.

“What?” Nie Yi was a little confused. Why would Qi Jingchen suddenly laugh? That was odd.

Qi Jingchen pointed at Nie Yi’s body and paused before saying, “No hair.” After saying that, he laughed again. But this time, he had only laughed a couple of times before he sat on the floor and started coughing violently. His face had turned dark red from his coughing.

“What’s wrong with you?” Nie Yi asked in concern. Qi Jingchen’s complexion wasn’t that good; was it because of excessive blood loss? He didn’t know how much blood Qi Jingchen had fed him after...

“I’m fine.” Qi Jingchen recovered, then said, “Have you seen your appearance?”

“My hair definitely couldn’t have been kept,” Nie Yi said. He had already realised that his hair was gone. Previously, with such a large fire, it would’ve been weird if he had managed to save his hair! But... it seemed like Qi Jingchen wasn’t looking at his hair? But instead...

Nie Yi looked at his privates and suddenly realised that that place was smooth and bare just like those boys who hadn’t grown yet. He didn’t have a single strand of hair; everything was burnt off.
