nYu Shuo’s life these days had been so awful.

nAsking the television station to livestream capturing Nie Yi was his personal idea. If Qi Jingchen truly was a dark ability user, this being broadcasted would have been fine. Perhaps the regular survivors of B City secure base might even think that their television station was pretty brave to broadcast this. Unfortunately, Qi Jingchen wasn’t.

nAfter Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi escaped B City, the secure base’s leaders immediately caught him, because of his live-broadcast, as well as Yu Xuguang claiming that he had once framed Nie Yi three times.

nYu Shuo was locked up in a solitary room. He didn’t miss out on having three meals a day, nor did he suffer punishment by flogging. But just this had already made him suffer a lot.

nHe had always loved showing himself off, loved other people paying attention to him, and thus couldn’t accept being locked up at all. Moreover, Nie Boyuan unexpectedly never visited him once!

nFortunately, one of the people keeping watch on him was his fan who adored him very much, who brought him a lot of outside news. However, it was precisely these news that made him even more tormented.

nThrough his diligence, he had formed an extremely good image in the hearts of the B City secure base survivors. All those people had liked him and trusted him, but now…

nEver since that broadcast, and someone who had deliberately led the direction of public opinion, many people thought that the reason why the secure base would want to capture Nie Yi was because of his false charges!

nClearly that matter was directed by Yu Xuguang, yet in the end, the secure base unexpectedly made him the scapegoat!

nThe more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Yet, he was completely helpless and could only continue being locked up.

nAt this time, his mother came to see him.

nYu Shuo really did not like his mother, and felt that his tragedy stemmed fully from her. He never put on a good face in front of his mother, but now he became pleading, asking for her to save him.

n“Admit your mistakes properly, and they’ll let you out sooner or later,” Yu Qingqing comforted her son.

n“They won’t! They want me to be the scapegoat, and maybe they might even send me over to Nie Yi as an apology! Mom, you know the hatred between me and Nie Yi; when the time comes, perhaps I’ll have nothing left but death!” Yu Shuo said, “Mom, don’t tell me you want to watch me head to my death? Mom, I’m begging you, I’m begging you to save me!”

nYu Shuo was rarely this pleading. In the end, Yu Qingqing was a mother, and it was unavoidable for her heart to soften. In the end, she genuinely did think of a way to save Yu Shuo.

nSpeaking of, why she was able to help Yu Shuo escape was partly because the secure base’s guard against ability users still weren’t strong enough and partly because the secure base had now encountered several matters, so much that they weren’t able to manage Yu Shuo.

nYu Shuo had escaped through the tunnel— Yu Qingqing found two earth ability users to dig out a tunnel, then Yu Shuo secretly departed from the house he was confined in before secretly leaving B City secure base.

nHe put on makeup and made himself uglier. Now, even close people might not be able to recognise him… When Yu Shuo reached the outside of the base, he couldn’t help laughing coldly.

nThat Yao Mengzi clearly hated Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen very much, and was also very powerful… He wanted to see Yao Mengzi!

nYu Shuo had made such a decision, but in the end, it was his first time leaving B City secure base and hence he was a little worried. He couldn’t avoid hovering about the vicinity of B City secure base a little longer.

nThere was a very large area outside B City secure base that had no zombies. The secure base’s staff had cleared up the farms that had crops and raised chicken, ducks, pigs, and sheeps, and would send people to labour here every day.

nWhen Yu Shuo went, those people were eating lunch and on break. He walked to the center of these people, yet did not attract anyone’s attention.

nAs someone who once saw the livestream and personally saw Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen fall in front of his eyes before leaving on a helicopter, Liu Haishan was almost always surrounded by people for the past two days.

n“Nie Yi and the others are seriously very powerful, and super strong! But the most powerful is still that Qi Jingchen. When he asked us to give them space for their helicopter, he used his ability on us onlookers. You guys don’t know, but that light ability is seriously too soothing when it’s used on someone! I’ve never felt so good in my entire life!” Liu Haishan sipped tea that someone else made for him and said again.

n“Could it feel even better than when you slept with your woman?” Someone of the same age as Liu Haishan said teasingly.

nLiu Haishan was taken aback before saying, “My woman turned into a zombie… But it really feels even better than sleeping with her.”

nHearing Liu Haishan say his wife had become a zombie, everyone fell silent. The one who had joked also said, “Sorry…”

n“It’s fine. Nowadays, who doesn’t have a few close ones who became zombies?” Liu Haishan said with a wave of his hand.

nSeeing that Liu Haishan didn’t really mind, everyone also relaxed. Someone said, “Speaking of, isn’t that light ability the bane of zombies?”

n“It should be ba?” someone said.

n“It’s all that Yu Shuo’s fault. Back then, Nie Yi brought that lover of his and lived in the secure base perfectly well, yet he stubbornly wanted to frame Nie Yi as a murderer and make Nie Yi run away. This time, Nie Yi just returned when he blocked the secure base entrance again and fought with Nie Yi, even framing Qi Jingchen as a dark ability user…”

n“Yes ah, it’s all because of him! At the start, even if Nie Yi treats his lover a little good, it honestly doesn’t hinder other people or anything, yet the flavour changed once he mentioned it…”

n“I long knew he wasn’t anything good. I was one of the people Nie Yi brought back from that small secure base. Although Nie Yi isn’t someone easy to approach, he still saved us ah. That Yu Shuo, aside from being on TV all day, what proper work has he done?”

n“That’s right ah!” Everyone echoed agreements.

nHearing these people’s conversations, Yu Shuo’s expression was dark, but now that he had painted his entire face dark, other people conversely didn’t notice.

nNie Yi! Yu Shuo silently mouthed this name in his heart a few times, then resolutely started his journey.

nLightning ability was a rare ability and had the strongest attack power; its destructiveness towards zombies was great. He didn’t believe he couldn’t become as strong as Nie Yi!

nYu Shuo got a car and rushed off in the direction of S City secure base. Yu Xuguang, however, was in a helicopter. After reaching the vicinity of S City secure zone, he then switched to a car.

nThese two were headed to S City secure base, but Qi Jingchen was cleansing Chenguang Team’s soil as well as the nearby forest with his light ability— After they went out to gather supplies once, the later simply had Qi An go with Xiao Mao, then began dealing with other matters.

nQi Jingchen stood in an area and controlled his ability with his spiritual strength to spread around him. All the areas touched by his ability would have its dark energy swept clean, so much that some light energy was left behind.

nWhere they lived now was deep in the mountains and there were no zombies, and there wasn’t much dark energy either. After he did this, everyone even felt that staying in this home was especially comfortable.

n“Are you tired?” Seeing Qi Jingchen cleanse another area, Nie Yi walked over with a ceramic stew bowl. “Want to eat some pigeon soup?”

nThis pigeon was something Qi Jingchen ran into when he had been cleansing the ground, then Nie Yi caught it and even made it into stew…

nQi Jingchen picked it up and drank before saying, “I’m fine. Let’s go outside after resting for a bit.”

nThe more the ability was used, the easier it was to handle. Although he already knew his ability like the back of his hand in his last life, ultimately, his ability had now changed, so he should use it more often.

nQi Jingchen finished eating the pigeon then went to the outside of the safe zone they designated and began cleansing the forest outside.

nAfter the apocalypse fell, a few of the trees in the forest that had initially been growing extremely well appeared spiritless. However, once Qi Jingchen’s light ability swept across them, they raised their spirits again and even repaid the favour by giving Qi Jingchen some energy, causing the light energy around Qi Jingchen to become a little denser.

nAfter Qi Jingchen cleansed one section, he would usually sit down to rest. But right at this time, a monkey suddenly leapt over from a distant tree before stopping at a tree beside Qi Jingchen to look at him.

nIt wasn’t a big monkey and was a little dirty, but its eyes were especially quick-witted and was especially charming.

nOnce Qi Yaoyao saw that monkey, she became extremely fond of it. After noticing that Nie Yi was a little wary, she hurriedly said, “My ge probably doesn’t eat monkeys; moreover, such a small one doesn’t have much meat!” Nie Yi shouldn’t kill that little monkey either ah!

nDid he seem like someone who wouldn’t even let off a singly monkey? Nie Yi gave Qi Yaoyao a speechless glance then continued watching the monkey warily. He felt like that monkey was a little odd.

nAt this time, Qi Jingchen also noticed that monkey. After meeting its gaze, he gave the monkey a smile before encircling his light energy around himself.

nFire ability was generally red, and if a fire ability user encircled fire ability around themselves, they would become a blazing fire person and might even burn their clothes at the slightest inattention. Encircling light ability around oneself would turn himself ethereal, like a Daoist immortal.

nChenguang members who came with Nie Yi couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath upon seeing this. Someone even couldn’t help saying, “An immortal ah…”

n“Like Guanyin…”

n“Guanyin is a woman, right?”

n“Who said so? Guanyin is clearly male…”

n…

n“Stop talking, all of you; this is Nie shao’s man!” Be careful lest Nie Yi thrash them!

nAll the Chenguang members shut their mouths simultaneously. At that time, the little monkey was already slowly walking towards Qi Jingchen.

nAt the start, the monkey was a little guarded and didn’t dare walk too close. But the nearer he got to Qi Jingchen, the more bewitched he became by Qi Jingchen’s expression. In the end, he even began running towards Qi Jingchen, then hugged Qi Jingchen’s lower leg.

nIts body was a little dirty but Qi Jingchen didn’t avoid it at all, reaching over to pick it up before entering some light ability into it. At this moment, fortunately, the monkey chittered and then rubbed against Qi Jingchen’s body.

nNie Yi became extremely gloomy. Could anyone tell him what he should do when his own lover was so charming that even animals were attracted?

n“Previously when a pigeon saw Qi Jingchen, it flew down from the sky. Now, there’s another monkey that threw itself into Qi shao’s arms. Is Qi shao even comparable to beautiful men of the ancient times that could captivate even thebirds and beasts?”

n“Yes ah, if it wasn’t because there are no wild goose at this time, perhaps we can try the flavour of wild goose.”

n“Even if we can’t eat wild goose, we can ask Qi shao to attract some fishes and bring them back to make fish stew, right?”

n…

nNie Yi: “…” That’s my man! Mine! Don’t think you guys can live off him!

n“Nie Yi.” But at this time, Qi Jingchen had walked over.

n“What’s wrong?” Nie Yi asked.

n“Clean it up.” Qi Jingchen passed the monkey in his hands to Nie Yi.

nNie Yi truly was a very ‘skilful’ person. Before the apocalypse, Qi Jingchen genuinely wasn’t obsessed with cleanliness or anything. For big men, there were many things they were able to endure. In his last life, after experiencing the apocalypse, his tolerance towards his surrounding environment became higher and higher. In the end, Nie Yi unexpectedly was able to raise him into becoming mysophobic!

nJust now his clothes were dirtied by the monkey and he felt a little uncomfortable, so much that he couldn’t resist wondering whether this monkey had parasites or something on its body…

nAfter Nie Yi helped clean Qi Jingchen’s hands and even his clothes, he then began bathing that monkey.

nWhen he gave Qi Jingchen a wash, he was extremely gentle, but wasn’t as considerate when helping that monkey clean itself. His actions unavoidably were a little crude.

nThen…

nThe plants under Nie Yi’s foot began abruptly growing and then tangled around Nie Yi’s feet. The monkey even chittered and went to bite Nie Yi’s hand.

nAn ice block appeared on Nie Yi’s hand. After biting down, the little monkey’s expression changed and it covered its mouth with teary eyes. Immediately after that, the plants on Nie Yi’s feet also burnt up in a burst of flames.

n“Zhi zhi!” The little monkey looked at Qi Jingchen pitifully.

n“Good boy.” Qi Jingchen patted its head then gave it some light ability again, but didn’t rescue it from Nie Yi’s ‘evil clutches’— To educate children, one had to play good cop and another bad cop.

nAt the start, the little monkey struggled because it was afraid of the shower. Later it realised that Nie Yi wasn’t actually hurting it and conversely didn’t struggle or evade him. At the end of the shower, its chirps even had slight enjoyment.

nThen Nie Yi dried it with a face filled with disdain, placing it in Qi Yaoyao’s arms.

nThe little washed clean and dried monkey was extremely cute. Qi Yaoyao really liked it, but the little monkey’s gaze was tightly locked onto Qi Jingchen as it softly chirped pleadingly.

nQi Jingchen stared at it for a good while, then picked it up and held it in his arms. This little guy truly was too likeable!

nOf course, what made him most pleased was that this monkey was unexpectedly a mutated animal! And its ability was plant!

nThere weren’t many plant abilities he and Nie Yi knew of, and even if they did, they won’t necessarily be able to get their hands on it… Now, having a monkey was pretty good too ah! When they return, he’ll try making it grow some tomatoes. He wanted to eat scrambled eggs with potatoes.

nPlacing the monkey on his shoulder, Qi Jingchen took it along and continued purifying the grounds near their secure base.

nOf course, he detoured around the village where those Z County survivors were living, and didn’t let them notice their existence at all.

nHowever, although he didn’t go there to cleanse the lands, since he used so much light ability nearby, the people there definitely also gained some benefits.

nQi Jingchen’s current ability wasn’t strong, and such a slander wasted a full week. After a week passed, not only was Chenguang secure base’s various supplies not lacking because of Qi An and Xiao Mao’s gathering, this place had also become a utopia hated by zombies.

nRight at this time, Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen left this place again.

nThey were going to S City secure base.

nPrecisely who the person who wanted to harm them was something they must figure out, and they also must make them pay the price!
