Chapter 35

Nie Yi had actually reawakened to a water ability!

Even though the people present had personally seen Nie Yi’s strange state, when they heard Nie Yi say it, they didn’t quite believe it . They finally had no choice to believe when they personally watched as Nie Yi used his water ability .

There were more than ten thousand ability users currently registered in B City secure base . However, no one in this large amount of ability users possessed two types of abilities… Nie Yi had presently become entirely ent.i.tled to be a special case!

All the ability users present looked at Nie Yi in admiration, and couldn’t even borne any sense of jealousy .

Previously Nie Yi was still just a fire ability user, and even if he was stronger than them, it’s not like they couldn’t catch up to him . But now…

When Yu Xuguang saw this, he had an even stronger belief that Nie Boyuan had erred that year . Nie Yi was so powerful, and was even a dual ability user rarer than thunder ability users . Yet, why did Nie Boyuan not know to properly cultivate him? If the secure base could cultivate a few high-leveled ability users, they wouldn’t have ended up beaten by a dark ability user until they couldn’t even raise their head .

Right, they were also beaten by Nie Yi till they couldn’t even raise their head…

“Hey, why are y’all still standing there stupidly? Hurry up and douse me with water!” Zhang Zihai loudly repeated .

Those water ability users finally came to their senses, yet at the same time, Nie Yi had already tossed over a water ball on Zhang Zihai .

“Ow!” Zhang Zihai cried out . He just felt uncomfortable all over… Nie Yi was too amazing, actually able to endure being doused by water all the time, and even soaking in water!

However, in order to awaken to his water ability, he’ll stake it all!

Seeing Nie Yi’s actions, the water ability users attacked . Small water b.a.l.l.s were tossed over at Zhang Zihai . After throwing a water ball, one of the water ability users couldn’t help looking at his comrade beside him . “Say, if we were burned…”

“Then we’ll be cooked,” his comrade expressionlessly replied .

“…”

Nie Yi smiled as he watched Zhang Zihai become drenched . The gloominess he had felt upon seeing Yu Xuguang yet being unable to beat him up had dissipated a lot .

This was when Zhao Chengqi arrived in a hurry .

Zhao Chengqi’s office wasn’t far from here . He had been mulling over where to find supplies and what supplies to find next, when someone had hurried over, saying that Nie Yi wasn’t in a good condition due to an unknown reason, frightening him .

Nie Yi was a younger generation he appreciated . The cultivation method Nie Yi had provided had now been verified to be usable . Under these circ.u.mstances, Nie Yi’s importance goes without saying… Without hesitation, Zhao Chengqi laid down the matters at hand and hurriedly rushed over to Base Two .

He had rushed a lot, yet when he was halfway, someone else came to him, and had even informed him that Nie Yi had awakened to a water ability .

A nice and proper fire ability user, how could he awaken to a water ability? Puzzled, Zhao Chengqi entered Base Two and saw Zhang Zihai being doused with water .

So much that, Zhang Zihai himself had incessantly urged, “Make your water b.a.l.l.s bigger!”

“Zhang ge, our abilities are running out!” Those water ability users wanted to cry but had no tears . Even though tossing water b.a.l.l.s was very low on ability consumption, it was still consuming…

“Why are you all so useless?” Zhang Zihai said, and then the water b.a.l.l.s that fell on his head suddenly increased, smacking him to the point he stumbled .

“Zhang Zihai, what are you crazy about now?!” Zhao Chengqi couldn’t help saying . The previous rumor about Nie Yi had made him uncomfortable when he heard it, but he never thought that another lunatic appeared among his subordinates .

“General, I want to awaken to a water ability . ” Zhang Zihai wiped off the water on his face and laughed .

“Tbe’gf cba fnfc jyif ab mbcagbi sbeg olgf jylilas, sfa sbe vjgf kjca j kjafg jylilas?” Itjb Jtfcudl lwwfvljafis rjlv, “Qlat atlr wlcvrfa, la’r yfaafg lo sbe qgbqfgis raevlfv sbeg olgf jylilas!”

Moreover, the use of a water ability wasn’t comparable to a fire ability . The fire ability could be used to kill zombies, but what about water ability? After awakening, will he stay in the base as a tap?

Quality always mattered more than quant.i.ty . Rather than thinking about awakening to another ability, he should refine his fire ability and cultivate it to the pinnacle!

Who knows, but maybe because he was watered to the point he became afraid, Zhang Zihai quickly thought it through . He promptly asked everyone to stop watering, then hurriedly ran off to change his clothes .

Seeing Zhang Zihai’s departing figure, Nie Yi was unavoidably disappointed . He originally wanted to let that guy who nearly harmed Qi Jingchen suffer a bit more…

“Nie Yi, did you really awaken to another water ability?” After berating Zhang Zihai, Zhao Chengqi looked at Nie Yi, his eyes emotional .

“Yes, General,” Nie Yi said . After awakening to the water ability, his control over the water around him had increased a lot . His swollen skin from soaking had also subsided, but was still a little white .

“Could I have a look?” Receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Chengqi was even more excited .

“Of course . ” Nie Yi smiled, making him seem more youthful . Then he immediately opened both his hands .

On his hands, one had a fireball, while the other had a water ball .

“Good! Very good!” Zhao Chengqi looked before him in pleasant surprise, thinking that he had really picked up a treasure .

The fireball and water ball on Nie Yi’s hand soon disappeared, and Nie Yi smiled again . “It seems like the two types of abilities still repel each other . I haven’t quite adapted to using it, and I need to get used to it . ”

“This is what should be; you should get used to it well . ” Zhao Chengqi nodded, the gratification in his eyes unable to be hidden .

Zhao Chengqi said a few more sentences to Nie Yi, then told Nie Yi to return earlier to rest . Right at this time, Yu Xuguang suddenly stood up . “General Zhao, I have a very important matter to inform you!”

While Zhao Chengqi was speaking, Yu Xuguang had been watching from the side . He finally realized that Zhao Chengqi really was like his friend had said, a pretty good leader, and very concerned over his subordinates .

Yyh had previously entrusted someone to look for Zhao Chengqi, but couldn’t meet Zhao Chengqi . Now, he had met him with great difficulty… Yu Xuguang almost immediately made the decision to grasp this opportunity .

“What matter?” Zhao Chengqi looked over .

Yu Xuguang had always thought that the cultivation method, advancement method and so on should be spread out as soon as possible . This was to avoid later when ability users possessed spiritual strength yet didn’t know how to cultivate it… He immediately said in a loud voice, “General Zhao, I know a cultivation method for ability users!”

When this sentence appeared, the people present became startled . Those ordinary ability users became excited after their shock, emotionally beginning to whisper; however, the thoughts of Zhao Chengqi, Nie Yi, Zhang Zihai, and the rest weren’t the same .

They knew that Nie Yi had previously taken out a cultivation method… How come Yu Xuguang had also taken one out?

Qi Jingchen, who had been silently sitting at the side ever since Nie Yi awakened, without a sense of existence yet attracting countless eyes, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing Yu Xuguang’s words . His pair of hands repeatedly fumbled about the coffee can with the small lettuce .

Even though Zhao Chengqi was surprised, his expression didn’t expose anything . He took Yu Xuguang to his office, while Nie Yi sat beside Qi Jingchen .

“Seems like we aren’t the only ones who returned,” Qi Jingchen suddenly said .

Nie Yi nodded, his expression grave . When he had first realized he was reborn, he even thought that he was the one and only lucky guy, but didn’t expect Qi Jingchen to have been reborn as well .

At that time, he thought it was the Heavens taking pity on them, as a result…

“He died half a month before you did, and was reborn half a month after,” Qi Jingchen continued . He then thought about the time between his and Nie Yi’s rebirth .

He was reborn on the first day of the apocalypse, but Nie Yi was reborn on the twelfth . In their last life, didn’t Nie Yi die exactly twelve days before him?

Although he had originally thought of this, he was too lazy to think so much, until now, when this world had another reborn person .

“Maybe he’s not…” Nie Yi said . If other people were reborn, this wasn’t good for them . Even though no one in their last life knew Qi Jingchen’s real ident.i.ty, for people like Yu Xuguang, who hated Nie Yi to his bones… If those people wanted to look for him for revenge, who knew if it would implicate Qi Jingchen?

“We’ll see . ” Qi Jingchen lazily laid in the deck chair, then suddenly said, “Say, do you think it’s possible for everyone to be reborn?”

“Impossible . ” Nie Yi said without the slightest hesitation . “If it’s really true that one will be reborn earlier when they die later, most people would have died before being reborn . ”

The final stage of the apocalypse had continued for many years, and those who were alive were very few . Even if these people had been reborn, the people before them… It’s estimated that those people would die soon after being reborn, or directly die before they could be reborn .

“It’s impossible,” Qi Jingchen agreed, uninterested in too much entanglement with this issue .

Seeing this, Nie Yi soon procured some food and cooked for Qi Jingchen .

Previously when he was cooking, he still needed to find a water ability user to help out . Now that he could do everything by himself, his movements had naturally become a lot faster . But when he thought of this matter of Yu Xuguang being reborn, Nie Yi had deliberately ‘avoided doing something he’s clumsy at’ .

Internally, he still had exceptionally precise control over his ability, but on the surface, he let him flame abruptly become too large or too small from time to time .

After the two of them finished eating, Zhao Chengqi sent someone over, saying that he wanted to see Nie Yi .

As usual, Nie Yi carried Qi Jingchen and went over .

Seeing that Nie Yi had brought Qi Jingchen over, Zhao Chengqi, who had heard a lot of recent rumors and had opinions on him, couldn’t help frowning slightly . But when he saw Nie Yi’s resolute eyes, he ended up not saying a word .

If it was before the apocalypse, he might have tried to persuade Nie Yi to find another lover, but it was already the apocalypse .

Humanity was now facing dire straits, so there was no need for them to pay attention to small matters like these .

“The cultivation method Yu Xuguang had said was the exact same as the one you had told me,” Zhao Chengqi said . Yu Xuguang was young and wasn’t really subtle . With some casual sentences, Yu Xuguang had told him all that he knew .

Nie Yi had previously wondered if Yu Xuguang might not have been reborn, but hearing Zhao Chengqi’s words, he knew that Yu Xuguang was definitely reborn… Multiple thoughts pa.s.sed through his mind, but none of it was shown on his face . “I think so too . Speaking of this, for me to be able to discover such a cultivation method, other people can certainly do so as well . ”

“What do you plan to do now? With Yu Xuguang speaking out like this, the cultivation method will definitely have to become public . I can make it public in advance that you’ve been developing this method for a while,” Zhao Chengqi said .

Because of Yu Xuguang’s words, now they had to publicize the cultivation method . Fortunately, this cultivation method had been verified to be usable .

It was just that… This was originally proposed by Nie Yi, and it was Nie Yi’s contribution . If they told Yu Xuguang, who knew what changed would happen .

“Uncle Zhao, tell the public that the cultivation method was discovered by Yu Xuguang . ” Nie Yi smiled, “I’m not lacking in contributions, and if my father knew that I discovered the cultivation method and hadn’t told him, who knows what he’ll be like… Also, I’m willing to help cultivate other people, but I won’t help Yu Xuguang . ”

“So you want to give up this contribution that should be yours?”

“There’s no benefit in being a tall tree among the forest . I’m already high-profiled enough, so there’s no need for more contribution… Uncle Zhao, this matter of me mentioning the cultivation method, let’s not tell outsiders,” Nie Yi smiled .

Nie Yi had awakened to dual abilities, so he truly was too well-known . Zhao Chengqi accepted this reason, then said, “Won’t this be treating you unfairly?”

“If Uncle Zhao feels this way, how about giving me those apprentices I’ve been training for the past few days? Let me bring them along when I go out for supplies,” Nie Yi laughed .

“Sure, no problem,” Zhao Chengqi immediately agreed . Probably because Nie Yi had to constantly survive away from home since the start of the apocalypse, he knew of many things . Zhao Chengqi was eager for his subordinates to follow Nie Yi to train themselves .

After his discussion with Zhao Chengqi, Nie Yi then took Qi Jingchen and left Zhao Chengqi’s office . Just as he left the door, he couldn’t help saying, “Yu Xuguang got off lightly…”

Looking at Yu Xuguang’s previous behavior, he probably hadn’t realized that they were also reborn . Since this was the case, they naturally wouldn’t expose themselves, and they definitely wouldn’t let Yu Xuguang know that they also knew how to cultivate . Consequently, they could only gift this contribution to Yu Xuguang .

For Yu Xuguang to receive such a merit, Nie Yi’s following plans to secretly kill off Yu Xuguang was also out of the question…

Of course, there aren’t only disadvantages . With Yu Xuguang covering them from outside, they can conceal themselves .

“This person really is simple,” Qi Jingchen abruptly spoke up .

“During the late stage of the apocalypse, there’s no need for brains!” Nie Yi sneered . Yu Xuguang was an ability user of the bottom rank during the early days of the apocalypse, so naturally he didn’t need to be shrewd when dealing with people or so on . Upon the final days of the apocalypse, in order to survive, humanity no longer had the time to play schemes with others . Everyone had become united, so Yu Xuguang had no occasion to use his brain .

Mockery glinted in Nie Yi’s eyes, then he brought Qi Jingchen back to their residence . Just as they returned, they received an enthusiastic welcome from Ping Shengchao and the rest .

“Boss, you’re too awesome! Water and fire dual abilities ah!” Ping Shengchao excitedly said .

Shao Zhenglan and Jiang Huai were also very excited . As for the two bodyguards, they were also filled with confidence about Nie Yi’s pledge to find a way to awaken them into ability users .

“It’s just luck,” Nie Yi said .

“It’s not luck ba, boss, now there’s a rumor outside saying that you’ll be able to awaken to the water ability if you constantly soak in water . ” Ping Shengchao said, “Boss, give me a tub of water ba, I’ll also take a soak later . ”

Ping Shengchao had even thought that Qi Jingchen was quite repulsive because he was always tossing Nie Yi around, but now that Nie Yi had reawakened to a water ability, he once again felt that Qi Jingchen was pretty good .

Maybe he was tormenting Nie Yi for Nie Yi’s own good?

This was just Ping Shengchao’s random thought, yet he didn’t know that he had really struck the truth .

Of course, he had no time to think so deeply right now— He was busy soaking in water ne!

On this day, the water created by water ability users were plundered, and there were even some who had fought in order to s.n.a.t.c.h the water . And those who managed to rob some water, all ended up soaking themselves in it .

Shao Zhenglan and Qi Yaoyao each carried a bucket of water into the room, laid their bodies in bed as they soaked their feet in the water, and slept just like that…
