Chapter 133 Tiger
"Take him away and investigate what happened to his sister." Nie Yi's eyes were full of disgust as he made the decision for Qi Jingchen.
Jingchen was in the middle of dinner. He shouldn't be bothered by such a person.
Qi Jingchen didn't object to Nie Yi's decision and agreed. Since this person had hostility towards him, there was no need for him to show any kindness. He did not have the hobby of trying to be liked by everyone.
With many subordinates, their efficiency was high. In no time, Qi Jingchen received a report that the young man's sister really was missing--she had left her house with someone else not long ago and hadn't been back since. And with this investigation, it was discovered that there was more than just the young man's sister missing. In fact, they had lost several people in their group in the past few days. Almost one person went missing every day. The missing people were mostly those who stayed outside at night or went outside, and some of them were blessed by Qi Jingchen before their disappearances.
After learning of this, Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen's faces immediately turned cold. "Why wasn't this reported?" Nie Yi asked.
"Only one or two people went missing so no one paid attention." Shi Qing explained. There were too many people dying in this apocalyptic world--even though they had Qi Jingchen to cure others, soldiers still died every day. If they were dragged away by fourth-level zombies, even if they were saved, they would most likely already be completely zombified!
"Everyone, be on guard and find out the reason!" Nie Yi ordered. Qi Jingchen wanted loyalty and to build a city of their own. But this happened, and he didn't know if it was intentional or not.
That night, many patrol officers were added to the entire campsite to find the reason, but then there were no more anomalies or missing people.
The team set off the next day as scheduled. At the same time, there were several rumors spreading within the team--Qi Jingchen's ability was actually evil, and people disappeared from their team every day. Many believed in Qi Jingchen but there was also a group of people who did not. Especially several people who had joined the safety zone later on were all very worried, afraid of being ambushed.
The team's morale, which had been good, changed and some people began to disobey orders.
A woman found Qi Jingchen and told him about the rumors. "Rumors say that after you kidnapped the girl, you also kidnapped her brother to cover up the truth... But I will always believe in you!"
"Thank you." Qi Jingchen smiled at her and gave her a blessing.
All of this seemed coincidental, but with some thought... There were probably some people who had malice towards him mixed in his team.
As for who sent those people... Other than Yao Mengzhi, who else could it be? He knew that Yao Mengzhi would never give up.
But it was also good. If a ship sailed too smoothly all the time, it would capsize when it encountered a big wave. But if it experienced a little wind and wave at the beginning, it could persevere even when it encountered big waves in the future!
Qi Jingchen comforted those who believed in him but did not stop the spread of rumors.
He just didn't care, but Nie Yi cared a lot and was irate.
The truck was surrounded by curtains, creating a separate space. Nie Yi paced back and forth in this space, clenching his fists, his anger tangible.
"They should all be thrown down to feed the zombies!" Nie Yi couldn't help but say.
"Don't be angry." Qi Jingchen said.
"How can I not be angry!" Nie Yi coldly snorted.
"When we were all shouting for the killing of street rats before, I didn't see you angry like this," Qi Jingchen said.
"I was angry at the time, didn't I kill a lot of people?" Nie Yi retorted, snickering twice.
It seemed to be true... In the end, Qi Jingchen could only stand up and hug Nie Yi, giving him a kiss.
Nie Yi was no longer angry. He hugged Qi Jingchen back and even reached out to touch him.
After noticing Qi Jingchen's body's response, he said, "It's not safe here. We should be careful and alert." It was probably a bad idea to fool around in the truck.
"What do you think you 're doing?" Qi Jingchen slapped Nie Yi's hand away. "If you have so much leisure, we should discuss what we should do next." He definitely didn't have the hobby of fooling around in an unstable car!
"What are you thinking?" Nie Yi asked.
"I was too easy on everyone before. It's time to use a stronger approach." Qi Jingchen said.
The teenager was still being watched by someone, and Qi Jingchen had not let him out. That night, he strengthened the patrols and replaced all of them with soldiers who greatly respected him.
These soldiers had been very busy during the day and found it difficult to stay awake for night watch. But after Qi Jingchen blessed each and every one of them, they became rejuvenated.
Nothing happened at first, but in the second half of the night, a patrolman was attacked by a mutant tiger.
It was a yellow-black striped mutant tiger with a very large build and it had a wind ability!
Wind abilities had different focuses. Some were good at using wind blades to attack, while others used it to increase their speed. This mutant tiger seemed to be particularly good at using it's wind ability to accelerate its speed.
It charged and bit off the shoulder of a patrolman, trying to drag him away. It failed because others intervened so it used its wind ability to dodge and weave.
Qi Jingchen arranged many patrolmen to form a large encirclement to prevent the mutant tiger from escaping, but they still struggled to catch it. In fact, after it found that fleeing would only lead to being surrounded, it began to run towards the camp.
The whole camp was in chaos.
Qi Jingchen had someone turn on the generator and hang a fluorescent light they called "little sun" high up to light up the entire camp.
Many people came out of their homes. Most couldn't see the tiger, but some who could shouted, "Tiger! There's a tiger!"
A tiger suddenly appeared in their campsite! Everyone was frightened, and they scrambled to hide in their houses, but no one linked the tiger's existence with the rumors from the daytime.
The tiger was very intelligent. It burrowed into the crowds of ordinary survivors but did not bite them. Biting would only slow it down or cause it to be vulnerable instead of ready to attack. So instead of biting, it scared the survivors, causing them to flee in all directions and create mayhem for the people pursuing it.
Nie Yi took action.
The mutant tiger was of a very high level, and it would be difficult for people to catch it if he didn't take action.
The tiger was very fast, but Nie Yi, who had strong spiritual strength, predicted its landing points in advance and kept up with it!
Even so, he didn't dare attack because the tiger kept running into the crowds. At this very moment, suddenly a group of people rushed towards where Qi Jingchen was, trying to attack him!
If Nie Yi wanted to save Qi Jingchen, he needed to release the tiger. No, even if Nie Yi released the tiger, he might not be able to come back in time to save Qi Jingchen!
"Die!" Those who suddenly rushed out shouted.
"Fight, fight!" Ryan and others stood in front of Qi Jingchen and fought them back.
The foreigners were able to come over from afar, and each of them were very strong. Plus, Qi Jingchen intended to tame them and had passed on his ideas borrowed from the Dark Church's teachings. Even knowing that Qi Jingchen had awoken to the power of light, they were willing to believe that there was a god of light in this world, giving them hope.
Those who tried to attack Qi Jingchen soon lost, but they were not discouraged even though they were surrounded and captured. The leader among them even laughed, "What if you win? We've done what we came to do!"
As he said this, he took out some grenades. "You better let us go, otherwise, we will die with you!"
"You think you've done what you came to do? That's not necessarily the case." Qi Jingchen smiled and had someone bring out Chu Zhen from behind him.
"How's that possible? He was sleeping in another room earlier..." The person threatening to toss the bomb was somewhat dazed. They clearly saw Chu Zhen taken to another room to sleep, how could he end up here?
Where were the people who went to save Chu Zhen?
"In this day and age, digging underground tunnels only takes a little extra ability." Qi Jingchen looked at the people in front of him and chuckled lightly.
The people were sent by Yao Mengzhi. They used a mutated tiger to lure away some of the combat force, then pretended to attack Qi Jingchen to attract a large number of fighters, before quietly rescuing Chu Zhen - Yao Mengzhi's weakness – he was the only one they actually wanted.
However, since Qi Jingchen was already on guard against Yao Mengzhi, he naturally took precautions...How could he allow Yao Mengzhi to easily take Chu Zhen away?
"Let's go!" The people who attacked Qi Jingchen shouted and ran out together, being careful with the bombs they held. Qi Jingchen's men did not stop them.
The eyes of the escaping people showed reluctance. When they were about to escape the camp, they suddenly turned around and threw the bombs in their hands towards the camp.
Their look of pride disappeared in a flash, probably wanting to see the people behind them being bombed. However, the bomb did not explode, but was blown back towards them by a wind ability that was far behind them.
Realizing this, their faces suddenly changed. Although they only had one wind ability user among themselves, Qi Jingchen had a group of them!
The bomb flew towards them, and exploded on their bodies…
The reality was that grenades were more or less useless as time went by. Unless it was something like a nuclear bomb, it would not be useful.
Miserable cries came from the fire, making the survivors in the safe zone feel a chill.
Nie Yi dragged the body of the tiger towards Qi Jingchen. He'd killed it by inserting an ice blade into its mouth. He coldly declared "I'll make a cushion out of its hide for you!"
"Don't be angry." Qi Jingchen smiled at Nie Yi.
Nie Yi didn't say anything, and Qi Jingchen said again, "Bring the tiger, let's go back."
Nie Yi picked up the tiger and followed Qi Jingchen back to their room.
"I also want you to stay with me, but if you don't leave my side occasionally, they probably won't dare to make a move...Who made you so powerful?" Qi Jingchen joked.
Nie Yi could guess the reason why he was angry. It was probably because Nie Yi had to kill the tiger before returning, and had to leave Qi Jingchen's side.
"I'm worried about you." Nie Yi said. Even if he knew that Qi Jingchen would be fine, he was still extremely worried.
"I know." Qi Jingchen kissed Nie Yi, "After all the excitement just now, I'm covered in sweat...Can you help me take a bath?"
Nie Yi didn't hesitate and started to help Qi Jingchen wash. And as they washed, anything else that happened was perfectly normal...
Their room was separated by an earth ability user, and it wasn't very big. However, because there was a tiger's body outside, Nie Yi used his ice ability to create a barrier and froze the area around the tiger.
While they were being intimate, the little monkey jumped around and even reached out to pull the tiger's ear. Now that the tiger was dead, the monkey swaggered around it.
Meanwhile, Shi Shiqing untied the rope around the boy's hands. "See? Your sister was probably eaten by the mutated tiger. That tiger may have been brought there by that Zhao guy who tried to kill Qi Shao and blow up the camp!"
The boy was stunned. After being locked up, he had been angry and felt that Qi Jingchen was, on the surface, a kind and compassionate person, but in reality a despicable and evil person. But what was the reality?
That Zhao uncle who told him that Qi Jingchen was not a good person, actually wanted to kill Qi Jingchen by luring him with a mutated tiger!
Did that mutated tiger really come because of that Zhao guy?
The boy's face was full of anger, sadness and despair - did those people want to trick him because they thought he was easy to fool and didn't believe in Qi Jingchen, so they deliberately allowed the tiger to eat his sister and make him make a scene?
He and his sister left no clues about where they lived. That meant she was called outside by someone she knew and trusted.
He moved away from Qi Jingchen and the others slowly, one step at a time. His back, which had been straight the whole time, was bent with sorrow.
As he watched the boy leave, Shi Shiqing turned back.
He didn't know whether the mutated tiger was brought there by Yao Mengzhi and the others, but it was undoubtedly that they wanted to use the mutated animal to rescue Chu Zhen.
If they were a little less cautious, the mutated tiger could have escaped, and the ability users would have had to chase after it…and then Chu Zhen might have really been rescued!
Of course, thinking about these things now was pointless. They should be taking advantage of this opportunity and reorganizing all the people in the camp.
