Rewriting the Apocalypse

21_ Yang Yifei in Heaven

"Well, the name is indeed childish, but it's really meaningful to us. Ling Song prepared this base one year before the start of the apocalypse, so we had the time to put in all the things that could separate this base from the mess outside there." Sun Xuejian took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up, catching the attention of the two men more than his words.

"...Do you have a lot of those saved?" asked Devon.

"No, we produce it." Sun Xuejian smirked and took out his pack of cigarettes and threw it to him. "Since you'll become our allies, we can give you some if you give us some eye stones in exchange."

Devon nodded, satisfied, finally gaining some interest by going there. "But how do you produce it? Don't you need a lot of electricity? And cigarettes aren't that important, daily needs are."

"We had a lot of money and time to prepare everything. Even if cigarettes aren't that necessary, our boss said that he knew someone who was into smoking but didn't have any, so he seemed stressed... I'm actually grateful that we have the luxury to smoke." Sun Xuejian took out his phone and called Chen Xu, and some time later, the teacher picked up.

-"Chen Xu, looks like the boss of the Hunters and the boss of the secret guild are here."-

-"Ohh... Ling Song's lover finally arrived? That's good."-

-"...You think so?... Anyway, come here and guide them around. I'm busy; I have the presentation to do at the school."- Actually, he never saw Yang Yifei. He didn't watch the video sent by Hu Qiang when he first visited the F.t.l guild, so he didn't know his face. He only knew that he was bad news if his little boss was around him.

He wasn't ready yet to see his little boss with a man who looked way older... He looked at Yang Yifei, who had been silent for a while, and imagined the two of them together... isn't that illegal? But his boss will be 19 the next day anyway.

-"Okay, I'll be there in a while. Lead them to the public bathhouse first, I'll call someone to clean their clothes."-

Sun Xuejian sighed and ended the call. "Come with me, you stink of dead bodies."

"Well, that's the most common perfume nowadays." Devon joked and followed the scientist while enjoying his cigarette.

"There are a lot of people here, and some aren't even armed. Are you so confident in that barrier?" Yang Yifei looked at the sky, and he could see the immense blue barrier of electricity.

"Our boss has a lot of secrets that he can't tell us. Since you're our allies, it's fine if we tell you some of our privileges of having Ling Song as our boss. This barrier can only break if our boss dies or dispels it himself, so there's no worry even if he faints." Sun Xuejian stopped walking in front of the bathhouse. "A woman called Chen Xu will come and reply to every question you have. For now, you can have a bath to clean yourself, and someone will come to clean your clothes."

Yang Yifei raised an eyebrow as he saw a really big bathhouse. "A bathhouse near the entrance of your base?"

"Yeah, so that our people can clean themselves first before taking another step inside."

"Wow, when there is an apocalypse outside, you are pretty much a clean freak." Devon thought about how his guild compared to them and rolled his eyes. He thought he was living pretty well compared to the others, but it looked like the kid was way above him, and this was just the start! He had just taken 100 steps from the entrance of the base.

Yang Yifei took a bowl of hot water and poured it on his head. It had been a while since he felt hot water... since he was the boss, he could have asked someone with a fire gift to heat some water, but he didn't want to abuse his power just for the luxury of a hot bath. He could live with cold water anyway.
