Chapter 8: Apocalypse Plane (8)(1/2)
"Mom, why don't we go fight zombies?"
Jin Zhe'an has a gold-type superpower, and his most proficient skill is opening doors. He has always felt that he can cooperate with his teammates and kill everyone.
"The reward for killing zombies is high, but it is very dangerous. It is not as stable as farming at the base."
In the past, the team could not buy medicine at the Furong City base, and someone would always get injured when they went out. If it was serious, they would not be able to come back. Now there is medicine, but there are always unexpected situations.
Jin Zhe'an just felt bored. He hit the ground with a small hoe and was bitten by a ham on his trouser leg, and then he started digging holes to bury the vegetable seedlings that Zhai Wenying had spawned.
Li Xiaoxue was a little amused when she saw his depressed look. She was the same way at the time, but she gave up after training for a while and concentrated on farming.
"If you want to fight zombies, you must first pass the training set by our brother Cong. Only after you pass the training can you join the team that fights zombies."
Every normal person alive in the last days is precious, and Brother Cong is planning more ways to survive for people like them who lack abilities.
"Where to train and how to sign up?"
Zhai Wenying, who was growing vegetables, her eyes lit up and she looked over eagerly. She also wanted to learn, and she couldn't come to this world in vain.
"We have to complete this task before we can do anything else."
Jin Zhe'an was in a high mood and worked hard to farm, which made Li Xiaoxue envious. She was also like this when her parents were still there. Every time, her father would tease her and say she wouldn't grow up.
Meng Hui used the soil power to plow the ground, Zhai Wenying gave birth, Jin Zhe'an and Ham dug the ground to bury the pit, and Li Xiaoxue watered it.
It took a whole morning to complete the day's tasks. Except for Meng Hui, the three of them and the dog were panting from exhaustion.
"Do you want to go to training this afternoon?"
Li Xiaoxue took them to the public cafeteria, where they had a meat and vegetable dish and a bowl of rice. If they wanted to eat more, they had to spend crystal cores or energy points.
"Power point?"
"Yes, Brother Cong redeemed the instrument from that store, and you can put it in with special powers."
"What should I do if my superpower is gone?"
Jin Zhe'an didn't understand.
"It will recover automatically, just like using superpowers when fighting zombies."
At first, everyone was worried. Brother Cong had tried it, Uncle Qiu and the others had also tried it, but there were no problems with the superpower, so everyone agreed to add this as a "currency".
After dinner, Li Xiaoxue took them to their accommodation.
"The accommodation conditions here are not particularly good. You have to buy beds and other things in the store. They are very cheap, but remember to top up in advance."
That store is also smart and will offer new products at discounts, but it does not provide delivery service. You have to find a way to take away small or large items yourself.
Walking into a B&B, Li Xiaoxue went behind the counter and took three locks, then led them upstairs.
"This house has just three rooms, which is very suitable for the three of you. There is also a vegetable plot in the back. It is not big or small and has not been requisitioned. If you have time, you can also grow one, but you have to pay some taxes every month.
When renting, it’s not expensive, so it’s actually quite a bargain.”
"Okay, thank you Xiaoxue."
"You guys take a rest first. I'll come back to you at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, thank you!"
Li Xiaoxue left to find Qiu Minghua to report the situation.
"It's a good thing that there are no problems with these three people. When you get familiar with them, you can ask them where they come from."
"OK."
In the afternoon, Jin Zhe'an and Zhai Wenying, who ran back to the store for a private meal, followed Li Xiaoxue into the training ground in high spirits.
"Ouch!"
"Get up and continue!"
"At your speed, the zombies would have already hit your face!"
…
The stadium, which was originally used for concerts and various meetings, was transformed into a training ground. The bottom is for running, and other sub-areas are for stick training, strength training, reaction speed training, etc.
"You have to pass training in at least three areas, and if the coach nods, you can join the zombie-fighting team."
"Can I join the training now?"
Li Xiaoxue nodded, and Jin Zhe'an immediately went to the side where he was taught stick fighting.
"Which group does Sister Minyin want to go to?"
"I'd better run first."
As a patient with procrastination and cancer, the medicine that can cure Zhai Wenying's disease is supervision from others. There are many people in other groups, and the coach on the running side can keep an eye on her, which is more suitable for her who wants to train.
After running 800 meters, Zhai Wenying regretted it.
"Get up and run away. Can you lie down when the zombies come? If you fall down, you will die!"
Zhai Wenying forced herself to stand up, moving at the same speed as a newly transformed zombie, her hands and feet were stiff and uncoordinated, and she was panting.
"So tired!"
After walking around for two times, Zhai Wenying was finally able to speak. After hearing this, the supervising coach looked at her with an expression as if she was watching an exam and suddenly got the last one and the first one.
She was panicking.
"I, what's wrong with me?"
"The physical qualities of people with superpowers have been strengthened. Do you not use your superpowers much or have you not changed mentally?"
They have been living peacefully. Family members like them have this psychological problem, and the coach can understand it.
But those are the old, weak, sick and young who are well protected!
You are swiping a golden card! Isn’t this possible?
"I don't use my powers to fight very much." Strictly speaking, so far, not once.
"..."
Sun Zhongyi really wants to know, how did this girl live for so long? Wait!
"Can you use your powers?"
"Yes! I also used my powers to plant vegetables in the morning. The four of us cooperated and completed the basic tasks in the morning."
"Okay, then show it to me."
Sun Zhongyi gave up his position and gave Zhai Wenying room to show off.
"I have wood-type powers. There are no plants around here that can give me birth!"
In theory, Zhai Wenying understood the wood power, but in practice she could only spawn seeds and vegetables. She learned to control the amount of the power in a few days, and she felt that she was particularly awesome.
Sun Zhongyi sighed, he has no sense of fighting, cannot use supernatural powers, and has extremely poor physical fitness. It is a complete waste of his own conditions!
When Zhai Wenying heard this sigh, she felt like she was back in junior high school. The head teacher was looking at the students who had joined the Love Burial Family, but this time she was no longer a bystander.
"What, what's wrong?"
"If you really want to learn, it will be very painful."
"It's okay, I can do it!"
Zhai Wenying looked determined. She must learn something in this world and not waste such a special opportunity.
"Okay, you run eight more laps, go back when you finish, and come back tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh well!"
Zhai Wenying's face fell instantly. Under Sun Zhongyi's look at the poor student, she ran two laps and rested for several laps. After everyone went back and left, she finally completed eight laps.
Jin Zhe'an complained that he was tired and went home for dinner. Zhai Wenying, who was left behind, dragged her tired body to the cafeteria and found that there was only a bowl of egg custard left. She barely filled her stomach. When she returned to the house, she teleported back to her lounge and ordered some.
A portion of beef rice, very filling.
The next morning, Zhai Wenying set the alarm clock specially, washed up in her lounge, returned to the small building where she stayed, opened the door and prepared for her morning run.
"Sister Hui, are you going out for a run too?"
Meng Hui was followed by Ham, who looked energetic, and Jin Zhe'an, who was half-dead, with a bottle of oil hanging from his mouth.
"Yes, we used to go out for runs at this time."
The team of three people and one dog gathered together again, this time for serious exercise.
The planting base was originally an area focused on building tourism, and it was located in a large area. There were not many people running in the morning like them, and most of the people they encountered were patrollers.
"Brother Cong and the others are back!"
Hearing the shouting in the distance, Jin Zhe'an, who had been running reluctantly and yawning profusely, suddenly became energetic. He craned his neck to look behind him, but his mother-in-law was so stubborn that she didn't say a word. Ham from behind was also staring at him, so he didn't dare to get close.
Go over and watch the fun.
Zhai Wenying also wanted to go, but since the other two people were not going, it was pointless for her to go alone.
After running in a long circle, they rounded an intersection and happened to bump into Jin Qicong and Qiu Minghua who were returning home.
