Chapter 64 - Reverse Scheme

Nie Yi.. was over-pampering his lover, right?

Before the apocalypse, it was nothing if one brought a lover to the amusement park, but it was the apocalypse now!

Even though the amusement park had been empty because it was night when the apocalypse struck, many zombies had gathered there afterwards, and they may have even squeezed into the park. Moreover, after some people had gone there, even more zombies had come.

Not only that, the amusement facilities in the park all needed electricity!

Electric generators weren’t rare; after all, supermarkets and other stores would have one of their own before the apocalypse so as to avoid their businesses from being disrupted during blackouts, but the generators required diesel fuel and gasoline!

Presently, fuels were all in scarce supply, but it was required for their vehicles, so they had no choice but to use it. Using it for amusement park facilities... wasn’t that just too extravagant?

When some people in W County secure base heard Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi’s conversation, they were speechless over Nie Yi. Even if Qi Jingchen was decent-looking, he was a normal person who didn’t even have any abilities. What use was there for Nie Yi to be this doting?

If they had a family background like Nie Yi, they would definitely have tens of women, and sleep with a different one every day!

These people couldn’t understand Nie Yi’s behaviour at all, but were eager for Nie Yi to squander on things like this. It was best if he squandered away until his men were filled with resentment and indignation at his actions.

Su Haisheng soon brought over two small electric generators and the required oil, then their party headed to the amusement park with much grandeur.

Even though they could see the Ferris wheel from afar, the amusement park was actually quite some distance away from the secure base. They drove for about twenty minutes because the cars had to take detours. After they arrived, everyone realised that there were actually quite a number of zombies in the amusement park, but it wasn’t too many.

Ping Shengchao took the lead in getting off the car, then began to direct people to clear out the amusement park.

The zombies were killed off one after another, then were cleaned up before Qi Jingchen got out of the car.

Nie Yi walked beside Qi Jingchen, and a group of children followed behind them. There were children of different ages here, but the one in front was a boy carrying a little girl.

This boy was only seven or eight, and was probably unable to keep his hold on the child, so he put her down, and held her hand instead. His grip was very tight, and it was obvious that he cared about this girl very much.

In any case, he was definitely a good older brother.

“Let’s play that first,” Qi Jingchen said as he pointed at a pirate ship nearby. His university society also had gone to an amusement park as an activity.

Speaking of which, amusement park’s rides weren’t really expensive. Back then, his classmates had spent two or three hundred per ticket and could go on every ride, but Qi Jingchen wasn’t willing to do the same.

historical

Because of that, he had only strolled around the amusement park and looked around... At that time, he wanted to wait until he was working and had money, then bring his girlfriend to one. When he had a child, he would bring the child too.

He had once been abandoned by his parents, and thus vowed that he must treat his child very well.

Now, he couldn’t ever have a child or a girlfriend, but Nie Yi brought him over to play.

“It’s more uncomfortable sitting by the bow of the pirate ship-” Before Nie Yi could finish speaking, Qi Jingchen had said, “I want to sit by the bow.”

Immediately, Qi Jingchen sat at the front of the pirate ship, then attached the safety belt.

When Zhang Zihai saw this, he dragged Ping Shengchao and sat on the other side. “Let’s go too!”

This sort of ride, Ping Shengchao had played until he got sick of it when he was young! But he didn’t want to ruin Zhang Zihai’s fun, so he went along with it.

Qi An also wanted to go, but looking at Xiaomao in his embrace, he finally led the girl somewhere else— They had brought two electric generators; one was for Qi Jingchen, the other was decided by Qi Jingchen to be used for the children, and their group definitely couldn’t play until they were overly-stimulated.

An electrician had long connected electricity to the pirate ship. The electric generator started with a rumble, and the pirate ship started moving.

Those who sat in the pirate ship for the first time would usually be scared, but Qi Jingchen didn’t even fear death, so he wasn’t afraid of this one bit. He just felt that this was rather fun, and even considered whether it would be better if the ship completely flipped over.

Nie Yi wasn’t afraid of this either. At first, he had an extravagant hope that Qi Jingchen would be scared, but was wholly disappointed...

As someone who had a few girlfriends before the apocalypse, Ping Shengchao wasn’t scared either. In the end, it was unexpectedly Zhang Zihai’s face which had completely paled, and looked very sick.

In any case, playing didn’t cost money anymore, so Qi Jingchen rode the pirate ship several times before playing the others. This time, he took a fancy to the roller coaster.

Zhang Zihai clenched his jaw and followed along again. As a result, Qi Jingchen and Nie Yi who had sat at the very front were playing happily but he couldn’t even say a word. Ping Shengchao touched his hand and not only did his hand become drenched with sweat, Zhang Zihai had even seized it and refused to let go.

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen were playing merrily. On the other end, Su Haisheng was busy arranging his men. He had long wanted to kill off Nie Yi, and now was the most suitable time to do so!

“Is everything arranged?” Su Haisheng glanced at the person beside him.

“Everything’s arranged,” that person said. He watched Nie Yi and wanted to say something, but hesitated. Nie Yi’s men had helped them clear out the zombies. It was fairly understandable if they wanted some supplies. Wouldn’t it be too inappropriate for Su Haisheng to kill him just because of this?

However, since Su Haisheng had made a decision, it would be useless if he said anything now.

“That’s good.” Pleased with himself, Su Haisheng glanced at Nie Yi who was nearby, then looked at Nie Yi’s men who were patrolling in the vicinity.

Those subordinates would become his in the future!

After Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen played a few rides, Qi Jingchen then arrived at the Ferris wheel.

He and Nie Yi sat in one of the cabins, then the Ferris wheel slowly rose...

“This is the most boring; it isn’t exciting at all.” Qi Jingchen propped up his chin and looked at the ground going further and further away, then couldn’t help speaking up.

“True.” Nie Yi nodded and also felt bored, but after thinking about it, he added, “But it will probably be exciting later.”

The two of them were bored, but Zhang Zihai who had followed along was terrified.

Ping Shengchao was very calm but Zhang Zihai, sitting opposite of him, had a miserable scowl on his face. “Is this really secure? Won’t we fall down?”

“Don’t worry, we won’t,” Ping Shengchao said.

“It wouldn’t in the past, but it had been a long time since it was maintained. Say, could there be some place that’s rusted or broken?” Zhang Zihai couldn’t help saying. He didn’t mind anything, but was a little afraid of heights.

As he spoke, Zhang Zihai became increasingly scared. He was originally sitting opposite Ping Shengchao, but now he walked towards him...

Because the centre of gravity had shifted, the small cabin they were in immediately swayed. Zhang Zihai cried out and rushed to hold Ping Shengchao. Ping Shengchao had a head filled with black lines, picking the other up and placing him by his side. “Don’t move; know your place!”

“It’s shaking!” Zhang Zihai couldn’t help saying.

“Have you never played these things before?” Ping Shengchao was a little speechless, and said after a moment, “In this life, I won’t ever accompany you to play this ever again!”

“These are all things girls play with; of course I’ve never played before.” Zhang Zihai clenched his jaw. He was used to being bald and hence didn’t grow out his hair. As a result such a bald man who looked a little fierce was scared of heights...

Ping Shengchao, “...” How did this become a girls’ thing?

Zhang Zihai had originally been terrified to death, yet when they arrived at the top, the Ferris wheel stopped moving!

“It really is broken... How do we get down?” Zhang Zihai was dumbfounded.

“If it doesn’t go down, then we’ll just fall to our deaths.” Ping Shengchao thought of Zhang Zihai’s alarmed appearance and joked.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you...” After hearing what Ping Shengchao said, Zhang Zihai, who had been terrified, still had a pale face, but was evidently not as scared as before. “It’s all steel frames here, and we can climb down.”

As he spoke, Zhang Zihai used his fire ability and shattered the window at the side. He spoke very well, but when he actually looked down, he didn’t dare move and hastily shifted his gaze upwards.

With this, he suddenly saw someone drilling through the topmost cabin. It was Nie Yi.

Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen had entered the Ferris wheel before Zhang Zihai and Ping Shengchao, and when the Ferris wheel stopped, they just happened to stop at the very top.

“I think there’s a saying that if people kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, they’ll... I forgot what will happen.” Right when Qi Jingchen was saying this, the Ferris wheel stopped.

“Let’s kiss?” Nie Yi was too lazy to deal with the Ferris wheel.

“No, it’s best you deal with the people below first.” Qi Jingchen’s face turned cold, then Nie Yi opened up the window, a step ahead of Zhang Zihai.

It was Su Haisheng who pressed the emergency brake that stopped the Ferris wheel. Immediately after, he proudly said, “Attack!”

His subordinates attacked the Ferris wheel, then seized some of Nie Yi’s more resistant subordinates.

There weren’t many hardheaded subordinates, and the harder to wrangle Ping Shengchao was also on the Ferris wheel. Su Haisheng wasn’t worried about a mishap at all, and even began to fantasise about how mighty he’ll become from now on...

However, as amazing as his imagination was, it was merely all in his head.

Right when Su Haisheng’s voice fell, the subordinates he had roped in immediately pulled out their guns and aimed it at him and his men.

In order to avoid Nie Yi’s suspicion, Su Haisheng had only brought along a few people. If he had genuinely managed to bribe Nie Yi’s men, he would definitely obliterate Nie Yi till he had no burial site; now...

“What are you doing?!” Su Haisheng was furious.

“Chief Su, you actually want to plot against Nie shao! Of course we’ll have to capture you!” The person standing before Su Haisheng and aiming the muzzle at his forehead said, “If you hadn’t had devious intentions, even if you were an awful chief, we wouldn’t go so far as to do anything. Yet, we never thought you actually wanted to make a move against Nie shao...”

At the very beginning, Nie Yi had warned them that Su Haisheng might be harbouring evil intentions, and they should guard against him.

Back when Su Haisheng had expressed goodwill to them and appeared very enthusiastic, they all thought that something about him seemed fishy. Just as expected, Su Haisheng then began to rope them in, asking if they were willing to work for W County secure base.

They were all Nie Yi’s men, and had just come to W County to help out and clear out the zombies outside. They’ll definitely leave with Nie Yi in the future, so how could they stay here? Unless something happened to Nie shao...

Su Haisheng genuinely wanted to harm Nie Yi!

They may have demanded food and drinks from Su Haisheng, but that was because they were helping to kill zombies. Was it not what they deserved? As for Qi Jingchen having Su Haisheng distribute congee, that was also for the secure base’s civilians! And that was what Su Haisheng should have done in the first place!

Since he was acting as the secure base’s chief, he had to take care of this secure base. Of course, if he did not want to act as the chief, then he should leave the materials collected by the local garrison, police, and others for the next chief to allocate.

Not only was this man awful at caring for the secure base, he even wanted to hurt people... These people were about to explode with rage! Honestly, if Nie Yi didn’t ask them to endure, they probably would’ve long lost it.

Sure enough, Su Haisheng wanted to set up a trap and kill Nie Yi. It made them even more certain that this person couldn’t be left alive.

“You all lied to me!” Su Haisheng looked at the people before him in astonishment. He had thought he had already successfully bribed these people, but unexpectedly... Could it be that Nie Yi had allowed him to set up a trap at the very beginning?

How could this be?! Those who had gone to B City secure base, didn’t they say that even though Nie Yi had awakened to dual abilities, he didn’t have any capabilities at all? He had even fallen out with his own father because of his bad temper and that beloved lover of his!

In Su Haisheng’s mind, Nie Yi was someone who would actually fall out with his father who was the secure base chief just for a lover, so he had never taken him seriously. And later, Nie Yi’s behaviour since arriving at W County secure base had lowered his vigilance even further.

Thinking about how he had arrived here, Su Haisheng was increasingly angrier. It was at this time that Nie Yi climbed down from the Ferris wheel.

If there was someone who exploded the Ferris wheel and slaughtered Nie Yi now, that would be great! Su Haisheng fixed his stare upwards at Nie Yi. He thought Nie Yi would shout, or order his subordinates to let him down, or climb down by himself. As a result, Nie Yi did something that astounded him.

Nie Yi first examined the Ferris wheel, returned to the cabin, then quickly jumped out while carrying Qi Jingchen. After that, he began to climb down skilfully...

“Nie shao really knows how to put on a play! Was losing yourself to male homosexuality just a facade? Now that you’ve already won, what need is there for you to continue acting before me?” Su Haisheng glowered at Nie Yi.

“Put on a play? Did you really assume my love with Qi Jingchen was a play?” Nie Yi scoffed. “Jingchen is my most important person; that’s always been so. It was never an act... So, I’ll give you a taste of the suffering he had once endured.”

Ruru Notes

Ruru: Nie Yi be like: Oh? We are stuck on the top of the Ferris wheel and people are trying to kill us? It’s the perfect time to kiss!
