At six o'clock in the morning, everyone woke up on time.
The training time began!
After Zhao Ledan officially joined the team, she also needed to train together. Breakfast could only be made after she finished her training.
In order to prevent the sound from leaking out, everyone wrapped their shoes with cloth. With an additional layer of soundproofing, the sound was indeed softer. It was not easy to hear if one did not get close.
It was Zhao Ledan's first time doing this kind of weight-bearing training, so she could not adapt to it. She gritted her teeth and persevered. No one else advised her not to force herself.
An hour later, everyone took turns to wash up after training.
Zhao Ledan still had to prepare breakfast, but the exercise just now made her arm a little out of control. Seeing this, everyone consciously helped her prepare some simple food.
After the meal, Zhao Ledan looked at the list of materials that she had made and was a little worried."We don't have much food left. We can only eat for another three to five days…Ah! Oh right, here are some snacks that I found in the drawer yesterday!”He turned around and took out a plastic bag from the pile of ingredients. He picked out the snacks inside." There are potato chips, plums, chocolate, biscuits, coffee, chewing gum…There's quite a lot!”
"Leave these snacks for you girls.”Although there wasn't much food left, Yu Xiaowei wouldn't fight for snacks with girls, so he said generously. The other men nodded.
Li Xi glanced at it and replied uninterestedly,"Junk food!"
" Uh..." Yu Xiaowei was thinking that chewing gum and coffee shouldn't be considered snacks. He wanted to ask them, but he was hesitant because he spoke too fast and too full. He was choked by Li Xi's words.
Zheng Ji saw that Yu Xiaowei said no, but his eyes were staring at it. He quickly picked out the chocolate from the plastic bag and stuffed it into Li Xi's hand."Xi, this is not trash!"
Of course, Li Xi knew that chocolate was good. She had some in her space earrings, but it was inconvenient to take them out. There were people in charge of the supplies, so it would be strange if there were suddenly more things. She planned to wait for the team to have a food crisis, then use the gap between searching for supplies to release some food for emergency.
Seeing that Zheng Ji was thinking about her first, she felt warm in her heart and handed the chocolate back to him. Zheng Ji still wanted to refuse, but seeing the determination in Li Xi's eyes, he could only accept it. There was no expression on his face, but his movements were careful. He put the chocolate into his pocket like a treasure.
Seeing this, the others acted as if nothing had happened.
As for Zheng Ji's way of putting Li Xi first, people who met him at the beginning would be curious and gossip. After a long time, they turned a blind eye to it and were used to it.
Li Xi was someone who didn't care about other people's opinions. He didn't feel embarrassed or shy when everyone looked at him. He just did what he had to do.
Zhao Ledan saw that Li Xi did not want these snacks, so she did not want to enjoy them alone. She smiled and rejected everyone's kindness."Nowadays, food and clothing are a problem. How can there be any snacks? Let's eat together.”
Yu Xiaowei was worried that he couldn't find an excuse. Hearing her say this, he immediately took the opportunity to say,"That's true. Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll have a chewing gum first. Sigh, if you don't have a cigarette, you can chew on gum.”
Everyone was not afraid of him being embarrassed and laughed on the spot.
Yu Xiaowei was thick-skinned and did not feel embarrassed. He chewed on the gum happily and blew bubbles with his mouth.
Zhao Ledan took out his coffee and waved it at everyone."Do you want some coffee? A cup for everyone?"
No one objected to this. It had been a long time since they had coffee!
The moment of relaxation passed quickly.
Li Xi started to check the news online, Zheng Ji sorted out and adjusted the guns, Zeng Zhiqiang and Yu Xiaowei helped together, and Zheng Ji was also helping out. Guo Rui used his iPad to input some of his thoughts as a reminder. Zhao Ledan sorted out her daily supplies and used her phone to record the list of consumed food and supplies that needed to be replenished.(After the apocalypse, her phone had been left in her backpack because it ran out of battery. Although she couldn't go online now, it was good to record it after charging. She had downloaded many convenient and practical software in the past, which greatly helped her to do her job as an assistant. Of course, she didn't forget to mute the sound!) Even if there was no possibility of a call coming in, he could not let his guard down.
It was time for lunch. Because the Hope Squad was not short of food, they had always maintained the habit of having three meals a day. Even if it was just a simple meal of biscuits and water, it was still a meal!
"There are only canned pickles, packaged ham, and sauced eggs left. There were no fresh vegetables, no rice, only noodles. Then there were dry rations such as compressed biscuits.”Zhao Ledan finished sorting out the list of ingredients and looked at the few remaining contents. She frowned slightly and reported the situation to everyone.
"It's not bad either. I used to eat it like this!”Yu Xiaowei smiled and tried to lighten the atmosphere." Besides, we all have nutrition tablets. We don't have to worry about the problem of uneven nutrition.……Ah, you girls don't need to lose weight. You're worried that you'll gain weight!”
Li Xi's living habits before the apocalypse made it easy for her diet to be unbalanced. For this reason, she specially bought a lot of nutrition tablets to carry with her. After the apocalypse, this habit was still maintained. At the same time, it also affected the team members. When they were collecting supplies, they were asked to collect more nutrition tablets. It did not take up space, but it could also maintain a balanced nutrition for everyone who was bound to have uneven nutrition in the future. They would have a healthy body as their capital.
The others were not picky eaters and did not show any dissatisfaction.
"Xi, how many more days do you think the smog will last?”The type of food was not a problem. The quantity was the key. Zeng Zhiqiang felt that the current problem that needed to be solved was to search for food.
"It should be around three days. We don't have to wait until it's completely dispersed and the air is less turbid. We can protect ourselves with our usual clothes. Moreover, our bodies are not bad, so it shouldn't be a problem.”Li Xi initially suggested staying indoors just in case he couldn't withstand the smog. After all, his other teammates didn't have the same body as him and Zheng Ji.
"En, alright! Our first stop is to search for food. We don't have any extra cars now, so we'll try to take things that are small and easy to store. We don't want things like puffed food that take up space and can't fill our stomachs.”Zeng Zhiqiang recalled that there were all kinds of food he had searched for before. Back then, there were fewer people and more space in the car. Now, he had to consider the problem of space storage.
"I'm afraid that if there's little food, I won't be able to choose!”When Yu Xiaowei saw the search team sent by the base yesterday, he was worried that it would be difficult for them to find food in the future.
"That's true. I'm just saying that if there's a choice, we'll take it according to this standard…Yesterday's search team should have searched this area.”Zeng Zhiqiang also thought of the problem he was worried about.
"There was a landslide in City Z of Province Y yesterday. The preliminary estimate is that more than 20 people died.”Li Xi broke another piece of news.
"Landslide? It must be caused by the freezing and melting of ice and snow!" Guo Rui judged with certainty.
"Yes, some villagers in the mountainous area refused to leave because they had food grown in their homes. The temperature has risen in the past few days, and they were unable to escape in time during the landslide.”Li Xi affirmed and added more details.
Everyone sighed. If they had heard this news before the apocalypse, they would at most express sympathy and mourn, and would quickly forget about this natural disaster that had little to do with them. It wasn't that they were cold, but that there were many disasters of this size every year. Other than natural disasters, there were also many man-made disasters. After seeing and hearing a lot, other than some major disasters, people usually wouldn't pay attention to them for long. However, things were different now. Ever since the appearance of the zombies, people had been living a life of exile. When they heard about such a disaster, their mood was completely different from before the apocalypse.
"I was always thinking about how to prevent zombies and mutated animals from killing zombies. I forgot about natural disasters.”Yu Xiaowei frowned, feeling a little worried.
Silence.
"This season is prone to earthquakes, droughts, floods, hail, low temperatures, snowstorms, mountain collapses, landslides, sandstorms, and other natural disasters. Fortunately, droughts, landslides, sandstorms, and other disasters mostly occurred in the northwest and southwest regions. Our destination was B City, and the most likely disasters to happen were the smog weather we were experiencing now, earthquakes, floods, and snowstorms in the coastal areas.”Guo Rui subconsciously touched his glasses frame, pondered for a moment, and analyzed objectively.
"Not bad! The government was also aware of this problem and was organizing the restoration of the various weather departments in hopes of providing early warnings of natural disasters and reducing casualties!……After all, there are less than 300 million survivors in the country now!”Li Xi attached great importance to this information. No matter how strong she was, she was still small and powerless in the face of natural disasters.
"We humans will have casualties, but zombies and mutated animals will have even more casualties. They don't know how to prevent and avoid it!”Zhao Ledan saw that everyone was depressed, so she tried to talk about something that could make everyone happy.
Her words really worked. When everyone heard it, that was not the case! He felt slightly more relaxed.
It was training time again in the afternoon!
If they were not in a hurry, they would basically use it for training, especially for those with low martial strength.
Zeng Zhiqiang was not satisfied with his own training method, so he asked Zheng Ji for advice,""Ah Ji, teach me your special forces training method!”
"Alright!" Zheng Ji was also very straightforward. He taught him the basics first, and then increased the difficulty when he got used to it. At the same time, he also changed the method slightly according to Zeng Zhiqiang's physical characteristics to suit him. It proved to be very effective in future battles. Of course, Zeng Zhiqiang was still adapting to the basic method.
It was already very good that the other three could persevere and complete Zeng Zhiqiang's training method. Yu Xiaowei was still stronger, and he was prepared to learn from Zheng Ji when he got used to it. Guo Rui wasn't a physical type, and he was able to be stronger than ordinary people because of his perseverance. Needless to say, Zhao Ledan was a woman. Her physical strength was weaker than men, and she was not a physical type. Being able to persevere and fight for the ability to protect herself was her biggest goal.
The three days were spent eating, training, planning, and sleeping.
Fortunately, the water supply had not been cut off before they left. Apart from filling all the empty buckets with filtered water, everyone also took a luxurious bath. They even washed their clothes with the bath water (clean by the standards of the apocalypse). God knew that they hadn't changed their clothes in the past few days! Oh, of course, he also trimmed his hair and beard. Zhao Ledan even cut his long hair into short hair like Li Xi's.
