Boss's Death Guide

Chapter 55 - Revenge

They had arranged this ambush on Nie Yi without a single flaw.

Bombs were buried in the road, there were people waiting in ambush at the side, and they had even arranged a sniper nearby to keep an eye...

Even if they couldn’t kill Nie Yi, in their opinion, they would be able to injure Nie Yi and eliminate some of his companions, especially that ability-less Qi Jingchen who was even weaker than a regular person...

However, Nie Yi had actually avoided the ambush!

When they heard the voice abruptly appear, the sniper and the youth beside him subconsciously wanted to attack in its direction. However, while he was speaking, Nie Yi had already launched an attack; naturally, he was quicker!

The sniper was a regular person, and his resistance towards abilities was far weaker than an ability user’s. Almost instantly, his head fell from his neck, rolling to the floor with a tumbling sound.

His hand still held the gun, but the bullet was never fired.

The youth threw a fireball at Nie Yi, but instead of hurting Nie Yi, the fireball reversed and landed back on the youth.

At the same time, Nie Yi reached out and two ice blades shot out, directly chopping off his hands.

“AH!” The youth screamed. His ability was very strong, but under the stabbing pain from losing both hands, he had no way of using his ability. He could only roll on the floor and just happened to knock into the human head that had previously fallen.

Nie Yi’s attack was too fast, and currently, the muscles on that head still twitched as if they were alive.

Momentarily, the youth forgot about his pain. Right then, the blood abruptly gushed out from the severed neck, spurting on him...

At the same time, the wounds on his amputated arms also spurted blood... Nie Yi had used ice blades, and had frozen their wounds. Now, they had already thawed.

Warm blood gushed all over the place, and the head beside him was still blinking... The youth instantly broke down as he cried out.

He had killed people before, but when death was coming for him, he was unable to bear it and felt incredibly frightened.

“Where did Liu He Ye’s team go on a mission today?” Nie Yi walked over and asked.

The youth was in pain all over and sobered up a little when he heard Nie Yi’s question. Even though he couldn’t understand why Nie Yi didn’t ask for the mastermind behind this but asked about someone else, he still said, “Save me, and I’ll tell you everything! Save me!”

“First tell me where Liu He Ye went today,” Nie Yi said.

“He went to the sofa factory in Ping’an Village today to take a batch of leather products!” The youth hurriedly said, “Save me, I’ll tell you who wants to kill you...”

“Sure.” Nie Yi stepped on his neck and snapped it with his foot.

The youth looked at Nie Yi in disbelief, dying with eyes still open. He simply couldn’t understand why Nie Yi had killed him without even asking who sent them.

Nie Yi spilt some water on his boots to clean them, then walked out.

After staying in the apocalyptic world for a long time, he learnt some ways to survive in the apocalypse. For example, for those who harboured malicious intentions towards him, he must kill them as soon as he has the chance, no need for nonsense.

If it wasn’t because he was too lazy to look for information, he would’ve directly killed that youth instead of first asking him a question.

Moreover, he had long guessed the mastermind... If it wasn’t Yu Shuo, who else would it be?

Yu Shuo had many people by his side, and it would be extremely difficult to kill him without leaving traces. Nie Yi didn’t want to go against B City secure base right now, so he could only let Yu Shuo off temporarily, but he could definitely take action against other people.

Liu He Ye was Yu Shuo’s subordinate, and also left the base every day to look for supplies...

Since Yu Shuo wanted to kill him, it was only natural for him to respond... right?

Nie Yi burnt the two corpses, then walked out of the room.

Qi Jingchen held the milk jar and stood outside the room, waiting for Nie Yi. Seeing Nie Yi come out, he lowered his head to look at the lettuce he was holding.

He had long lost the will to live, and always pondered over how he should die, but when he saw that something nearly happened to Nie Yi just now, he felt somewhat unhappy.

Having Nie Yi accompany him in death was quite good, but he unexpectedly didn’t want Nie Yi to die. But if he died, what would happen to Nie Yi?

“What’s so good-looking about a lettuce?” Nie Yi couldn’t help saying. Since this lettuce struck Yu Shuo, he had temporarily lost his prejudice towards it. But now, he felt that it was an irksome presence again... This sort of thing should be eaten sooner.

“More good-looking than you,” Qi Jingchen said.

Were his own looks not comparable to a lettuce? Nie Yi picked Qi Jingchen up and went downstairs. Midway, he showed a smile— Qi Jingchen... actually squabbled with him!

When Nie Yi returned, Zhang Zihai and the others were already there. They had already killed everyone involved in the ambush, but Zhang Zihai was also injured with a gunshot wound.

“Fuck! Instead of killing zombies, those people actually ran over to ambush us! Also, what’s up with the secure base? People can actually ambush us on this sort of path!” Zhang Zihai harped on.

His wound was on his shoulder. He may not know how to use it, but as an ability user who had already reached level two, he had some spiritual energy. Therefore, although he blocked the bullet for someone at a critical moment, he avoided being fatally injured with the help of his spiritual strength.

“Don’t talk so much when you’re injured,” Ping Shengchao said. Today, Zhang Zihai covered for him again. It was unavoidable for him to be thankful towards Zhang Zihai, but unfortunately, he wasn’t his mother. He didn’t know how to handle wounds, and could only watch as Zhang Zihai grimaced in pain.

Nie Yi condensed an ice blade on his hand, and squatted down to dig out the bullet from Zhang Zihai’s shoulder with proficiency, then patted Zhang Zihai’s shoulder. “Later, you’ll ride in the rear car.”

“Why?” Zhang Zihai was filled with confusion. This car’s arrangement was the comfiest; he was already injured yet instead of being allowed to stay, was being chased away?

“Jingchen suffered a fright, so I want to send him back earlier. You’ll bring the people in the rear car to the clothing factory first, then give a report of events when you return to the secure base,” Nie Yi said, then looked at Ping Shengchao. “You, Gan Shuo, and Zhou Xiaofeng return with me first.”

The people Nie Yi trusted the most were Ping Shengchao, Gan Shuo, and Zhou Xiaofeng. This time, he also brought them along.

“Go to Ping’an Village,” Nie Yi ordered, then began to sort out the firearms by his side.

Earlier, when he assisted the western secure base, he had found many weapons, and now still had many in his possession.

Even though abilities were powerful, they weren’t better than firearms at the present stage, especially in a situation where he would want to kill an entire group instead of one person.

Ping’an Village was located on the outskirts of B City; the factories which would pollute the air couldn’t be operated in B City’s centre, and the land in the city centre was too expensive to purchase for factories, so they moved to nearby villages.

A sofa factory didn’t have any supplies the secure base was short of, but the leather materials could be used to produce protective clothing.

Until now, the weather was too hot, and though people who left the base wore long sleeves and pants to avoid being scratched by zombies, they couldn’t wear thicker clothing. However, the current weather had already cooled and would become colder and colder in the future.

Once the temperature dropped, the thick protective clothing made from leather or fur could be worn. By then, even if they couldn’t strengthen their combat abilities, they could reduce the casualties.

Yu Shuo made this decision, which was why he had his subordinates take the initiative to collect leather.

Liu He Ye was Yu Shuo’s subordinate and was previously one of Yu Shuo’s assistants. Later, when he awakened to an ability like Yu Shuo, he began to lead an ability user team for Yu Shuo.

Their team had over 100 people. He stood in a corner, observing the surrounding situation and commanding the others to hurry up and move the leather and other usable materials into the vehicles.

The secure base had always been constructing houses, and lumber or other supplies could be used, but there weren’t many workpoints to exchange for it.

The mission was proceeding smoothly, but right at this time, a few bombs abruptly flew in their direction. At the same time, the sound of machine gunfire rang out.

Liu He Ye was an earth ability user, and in an instant, he had dug a hole under his feet and hidden inside. The surrounding people also rushed about to find cover, and the ones who were originally hiding inside the warehouse didn’t dare emerge.

The ten vehicles they had driven over were bombed into flaming blazes that surrounded them. Fortunately, many of them had fled into the warehouse.

“Who is it?!” Liu He Ye found an opportunity to dodge into the warehouse, then angrily asked.

These people were using firearms, which meant they weren’t zombies... It was already the apocalypse, and there were actually still people who wanted to massacre their own kind.

“Who’s so audacious?” Someone near him also said. Everyone’s face was filled with disbelief.

This was near B City secure base and had very good law and order. Thus far, even though they had companions who died in the hands of zombies, they had never come across an ambush like this.

They didn’t have grudges with anyone, so were those people crazy? They had actually used explosives for the first attack, destroying all the supplies that were collected!

“We should quickly escape!” Someone with a nimble mind immediately said. But right then, there was a gunshot, and his head directly exploded.

With the help of spiritual strength, even if his surroundings were filled with thick smoke from the explosions, Nie Yi was still a godly shooter.

Liu He Ye and the others didn’t know how many enemies they had, but the present situation made them tacitly agree to flee. It was just that they were inside a sofa factory, and there was only one door...

Risk it all! Liu He Ye gritted his teeth and dashed towards the door.

He thought he would encounter an ambush, but he didn’t at all. Even though a few gunshots made them lose some members, there were still many who had managed to escape.

After fleeing out, Liu He Ye could clearly see the situation outside and spotted the truck with many plants on the roof in the distance

“Nie Yi!” Liu He Ye cried out in fear. Even if he couldn’t recognise other vehicles, he could recognise Nie Yi’s!

The one who wanted to kill them was actually Nie Yi... Whether it was Liu He Ye or the others who had managed to escape, they were all exceptionally furious right now— Sure enough, what Yu Shuo said was right; Nie Yi was simply not a good person!

Actually, Liu He Ye knew a bit of what Yu Shuo had done, but some people were just like this. They thought it was fine to be underhanded, but wouldn’t tolerate others doing the same to them.

“Looking for me?” Nie Yi came out from the warehouse with a smile. Looking at the seven or eight remaining, he once again raised his gun.

“Capture that lover of Nie Yi’s!” Liu He Ye suddenly yelled, then used his ability to create a wall to obstruct Nie Yi’s bullets while they dashed towards Nie Yi’s car.

Their speed was quick, but when they reached the car, they discovered two bodyguards standing before that man who was inseparable from Nie Yi, and they even held guns...

Liu He Ye grabbed a person beside him to block off a bullet, filled with despair, but didn’t imagine that at this time, he actually saw one of their people appear behind that truck.

Altogether, they had over 100 people and previously had dispatched people to patrol the surroundings. This person had been on patrol.

The same ability, with a different person using it, would present a different outcome. That person was a wind ability user, and perhaps because he was an athlete in the past, after awakening to his wind ability, he ran particularly quickly, and without noise.

He didn’t jump onto the truck, instead taking out a gun and aiming at the person on the truck...

With a cracking gunshot, two bullet holes appeared on that person’s head. One was fired by Ping Shengchao who was protecting Qi Jingchen with the two bodyguards, and the other... was actually fired by Qi Jingchen.

When Liu He Ye saw this, he was a little stunned. Originally, he had investigated Qi Jingchen following Yu Shuo’s command, and from the data he found, Qi Jingchen was a man who was completely useless. This ‘useless’ person actually shot a gun now...

Many thoughts flashed through Liu He Ye’s mind, but all of them passed at lightning speed... While he was astonished by Qi Jingchen’s action, gunfire ceaselessly rang.

Everyone died.

Most of these people were innocent, but they had all died, without a single exception... Qi Jingchen looked at them expressionlessly and threw the gun in his hand to the ground.

“You... know how to use a gun?” Ping Shengchao looked at Qi Jingchen in surprise. Qi Jingchen had only fired twice just now, but both shots landed right between the brows!

“En.” Qi Jingchen indifferently said, then noticed Nie Yi walk over with a grin.

“I’m so happy,” Nie Yi couldn’t help but say. Qi Jingchen had shot a gun!

“I still want to die, but since I’m alive, I’ll live well,” Qi Jingchen suddenly said. Although he wanted to die, in the end, he still had people he cared about. In his opinion, if something really were to happen to him, Nie Yi might do something crazy. At that time, Qi Yaoyao, Qi An, and the others he had a relationship with, what would happen to them?

His previous pessimism was related to his mentality and his body. Now, although he still had no hope, the discomfort on his body had eased and he didn’t feel like every second he was alive was painful.

Since he had to live, he would naturally live well.

The smile on Nie Yi’s face collapsed, then Qi Jingchen said, “Hand hurts.”

Guns had a recoil; after firing twice, his hand was in pain.

“Clean up the corpses. When you’re done, we’ll leave,” Nie Yi said, sitting down to massage Qi Jingchen’s hand.

In the past, Ping Shengchao had felt that many things Qi Jingchen did seem to have a deep meaning, and now he was even more certain. Suddenly, he was somewhat glad that Nie Yi had warned him so he hadn’t done bad things for a reason like ‘for Nie Yi’s own good’.

When Nie Yi and the others returned to the base, Zhang Zihai had arrived beforehand and reported the matter of their ambush.

All the people who had participated in the ambush were already dead, and this matter truly wasn’t easy to investigate. In the end, the secure base could only give the possibility that it was done by some sociopath.

Before the apocalypse, there were always people who attacked innocent strangers for no reason, and during the apocalypse, there were even more people like this...

“I also think so, but the secure base should really be more careful. Or else, who knows what else those sociopaths might do?” Nie Yi suddenly smiled and acknowledged this conclusion.

Yu Shuo lowered his head, eyes filled with astonishment. After being intercepted and attacked, Nie Yi just accepted it like this?
