Lu Zhen believed that if the team they had lost had this kind of training, they wouldn’t have perished so silently.
"This is not something ordinary survivors can handle," Silk said cautiously, but also with appreciation.
Leng Pan shook her head.
"They don’t need to master everything immediately."
Her gaze swept across the leaders.
"But they must at least start."
Since they had decided to train, Blaze took the lead to train his group.
However, they were going to be training in the water and they needed props.
"How many rubber boats can we get?" He asked.
"What do you need rubber boats for?" Silk asked in confusion.
"They are going to train in the water. How do they get there? We can’t possibly throw them all out the window, right?" Blaze asked with a raised eyebrow
Silk was clever in their squad, but he was also too straightforward.
"I will provide some rubber boats. Find some floating debris to use as planks as well. We need more floating platforms for training. The more people we train, the better." Leng Pan offered some help.
She knew that not everyone would agree to this kind of training, however she was determined to train as many as she could.
"What about those who are afraid and refuse to train?"
After seeing the training program, Juan Ke knew that not everyone would agree to it. So, they had to find a way to deal with them.
"If someone is able to train but they refuse, we won’t bother with them but from now on, they must pay to live in the base. They also have to find their own way to collect supplies and other necessities. We won’t associate with them too much apart from providing a place to live. The rest is their problem." Leng Pan was aware of how human nature keeps changing according to circumstances.
Now, there base is basically the strongest and they can provide both security and resources to their survivors.
However, some people are entitled by nature and would expect that since they were accepted in the base, they should get all the perks.
However, after going the first apocalypse, even though she hated to see people suffer, Leng Pan wasn’t obligated to baby them.
Those who refuse to get stronger will be abandoned.
The training started the following day. All the able-bodied survivors in the base were ordered to join.
The first group to go into the water with a rubber boat included Lu Hao, who took his younger brother to train and a few young boys.
They had joined the base later but they had decent behavior.
They were also eager to learn so that they could survive more easily.
Once they were a short distance away from their building but still within the range of the base, Lu Hao ordered everyone to jump into the water to practice holding their breath.
"This water is so dirty, do we really have to?" One of the boys asked.
"So, do you expect me to dig you a swimming pool to train in?"
Lu Tao’s eyes nearly popped out when he heard his brother’s question.
Did his brother seriously learn how to joke?
That in itself was a joke. With the way Lu Hao always looked serious, almost like his big brother, how did he even come up with that snarky remark?
"That’s....no...that’s not what I meant." The boy who asked coward immediately.
Before anyone else could speak, Lu Hao pushed Lu Tao into the water.
"Don’t drink it. It’s dirty." He said when he saw his younger brother sinking into the water.
Lu Tao, who had been caught off guard and pushed into the water opened his mouth instinctively to ask what was happening. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Then he heard his brother’s voice and he immediately shut his mouth.
He didn’t want to drink this water where zombies had bathed in.
He didn’t need to ask to know that this flood water carried all the diseases anyone can imagine.
However, after that attack on their team, they had no choice but to train in this water
You never know, maybe the training will come in handy someday even if not now.
The others didn’t want to suffer the same fate, so they jumped in themselves.
More people joined the training as a few boats and flat wooden planks appeared on the water.
Blaze, Silk, Ouyang Jin, and other few former elite soldiers led other groups.
They followed the program Lu Zhen made strictly and more and more people were with pushed into the water or jumped in themselves.
They had to practice swimming and floating in the water for a long time.
After thirty minutes, some began complaining.
"I can’t hold on anymore. I want to get back on the boat."
They even attempted to get back.
The first person to give up was in Blaze’s group.
However, Blaze showed no mercy and kicked the person back into the water.
The person sank for a moment and due to reflexes, they opened their mouth and drank a few mouthfuls of the flood water.
The disgust after realizing what had happened almost made him vomit and lose his mind.
"Why did you kick me?" He asked angrily.
"Do you know that I drank this dirty water?" He continued.
Blaze didn’t show any sympathy.
"It’s only been a few minutes and you are already talking about giving up. What do you take this base for? We don’t keep idlers here. So, work hard." Blaze didn’t mince his words at all.
"But how are we going to survive if you force us to drink this water?"
"Don’t worry about it. You will be given medicine to neutralize the effects. Just focus on training." Blaze spoke again with annoyance.
Training rookies in the army wasuch better than this bunch.
Lu Tao kept trying to float in the water, yet he would sink after every few tries and his brother had to pull him up.
