章節 18: Chapter 18: Weakness of Zombies
For the past few days, due to the constant clashes, Han Weilin realized that Wang Bao and Li Yuan both of them were strange.
When she helped them earlier, they were sweet. Now that she was helping someone else, they were instantly offended and even accused her of being selfish.
Wang Bao and Li Yuan's face turned red.
However, Wang Bao didn't want to give up and changed her target.
"Su Jiyai at least you should be sensible enough to share the packet, right? I don't want much, just give us a packet..."
"I won't." Su Jiyai didn't let Wang Bao finish her words.
She had heard too many such comments from Wang Bao that slowly even without her finishing her words, Su Jiyai knows what Wang Bao meant.
"What? How dare you..." Wang Bao was furious and Li Yuan's eyes turned teary as she said,
"Jiyai please don't be harsh on Bao, she was just being straightforward! She thought that since we have helped you so much, you would help us in return." Li Yuan said with red eyes.
If outsiders watched the scene they would think that Han Weilin and Su Jiyai were bullying Li Yuan and Wang Bao was protecting her.
Su Jiyai shifted her gaze to Li Yuan and stated,
"Wrong."
Li Yuan stiffened.
Whenever they previously had an argument, Su Jiyai to avoid trouble, wouldn't bother to argue.
This was the first time, Li Yuan saw Su Jiyai contradicting her.
"You can't label someone's greediness to straightforwardness."
With just one sentence Su Jiyai exposed the problem in Li Yuan's words.
Suddenly Li Yuan fell to the ground.
"Yuan!" Wang Bao shouted.
"Hey!" Han Weilin was surprised.
"Oh god! How could you be so mean Jiyai? See! Because of your loud voice and unreasonable words, Yuan got scared and fainted!" Wang Bao started to blame Su Jiyai.
Su Jiyai calmly pointed out,
"Just because of my words, she can never faint. Also, she is pretending to faint. I have studied medicine and at least know that once you faint you don't have the time to cover your face."
Wang Bao: "..."
Han Weilin: "..."
Li Yuan: "..."
An awkward silence ensued in the dormitory.
Su Jiyai thanked Han Weilin and left.
Today was her real-life combat training, so she needs to focus on that.
Once in the training ground, Su Jiyai saw the excited faces of others and couldn't help but sigh.
What was there to be excited?
Soon Qin Feng arrived at the training ground.
Su Jiyai: I take my words back.
Qin Feng glanced at everyone, his gaze stayed on Su Jiyai a little longer than others, before he shifted his gaze and said in a stern voice,
"Today, you all will face Zombies for the first time. Remember when fighting Zombies, you don't need to be powerful, you only need to be smart.
Zombies are divided into 4 levels. Level-1 Zombies don't move fast, you can easily kill such zombies. Their weakness is their brain. As long as you can deal a blow to their brain, there are 99% chance that you will survive.
Level-2 Zombies also known as Brutes, are fast, however their combat ability is their disadvantage. These types of zombies mainly focus on infecting humans, so try to maintain distance while fighting. Their neck is their weakness. As long as you slash their neck, there are 98% chance that you will survive.
Level-3 Zombies are known as Strikers, they are agile and have good combat ability. These types of zombies are hard to deal with, however they have one weakness. They don't have the intelligence. If you can think of a solution that only humans can, there are 40% chances that you will survive."
Su Jiyai noted down each detail in her head.
She prayed to god that she never encounter a Level-3 Zombie.
"To identify the zombies you need to look at the skin of the zombies, the lighter the skin, the more chances that it is a higher rank Zombie..."
One by one Qin Feng gave the instructions and told them survival tips.
After 1 hour, Qin Feng was finished with the speech and asked them to follow him.
On the way, one of the girls from the superpower group suddenly turned toward Su Jiyai and said,
"Hey, don't die during the training, it will be a bad omen for us."
The remaining 9 people laughed upon hearing her comment
Su Jiyai looked around as if she was searching for someone.
"Hey, I am talking to you!" The girl shouted at Su Jiyai.
Su Jiyai however made a confused face and said in a loud voice,
"Which dog is barking? And where are the rest of the dogs that are following it?"
Silence.
The people in the superpower group couldn't help but be speechless.
Qin Feng's mouth twitched.
"You..."
"Silence." Qin Feng warned.
He was a little dissatisfied with the girl. Why is she so noisy?
Can't she be like Su Jiyai?
The girl could only shut her mouth but she resentfully glared at Su Jiyai.
On reaching the training area, Qin Feng asked them to stand in a line.
"Before starting, I would like to clear one thing. Once on the battlefield, you all are a team, instead of just thinking about yourself, if you have the chance to save your teammate, do so.
You all will fight the zombies together.
If I find any of you breaking this rule, I will throw them in an area filled with Zombies."
The girl who was about to take the opportunity to teach Su Jiyai a lesson gave up instantly.
"Select your weapons first."
Su Jiyai selected a dragger, while most of them selected sword and whip.
"Now let's begin the training." Qin Feng announced.
Before anyone could react, 20 zombies were released in the training ground.
It was Su Jiyai's first time seeing Zombie and to say that she wasn't scared was a lie.
The zombies stumbled out of the darkened enclosure, their decayed flesh and soulless eyes sending chills down everyone's spine.
Despite her earlier bravado, Su Jiyai's heart pounded in her chest.
"Remember the weaknesses," Qin Feng's voice echoed in her mind as she tightened her grip on her weapon.
The group quickly formed a defensive circle, their backs to each other, weapons raised.
The zombies advanced slowly at first, their movements jerky and uncoordinated, but as they got closer, their speed increased, a horrifying realization that the threat was real and imminent.
"Level-1 zombies, aim for the head!" Qin Feng shouted, his own weapon slashing through the air with precision.
One of the boys beside Su Jiyai couldn't help but shout in fear.
"Ahhh!"
"Don't shout!" Su Jiyai warned him, but the boy was so frightened that he kept on shouting attracting the attention of zombies.
Su Jiyai: "..." Why do I have the worst luck?
"Silence!" Qin Feng said and the boy finally stopped shouting. He gripped his weapon with fear and swung it to a nearby zombie, killing the zombie in just one move.
"Ah? I have killed? Yay!" The boy said with surprise.
"I said silence." Qin Feng's voice was cold this time and the boy instantly realized his foolishness.
Su Jiyai's eyes darted to a zombie stumbling towards her. It was a grotesque figure, its skin pale and rotting.
She swung her weapon, aiming for its head, and with a sickening crunch, it fell to the ground, motionless.
First win...
Su Jiyai couldn't believe that she killed a zombie with her own hand.
However, the situation doesn't give her the time to think and she continues to fight.
"Superpower users, for the next 10 minutes you have to use your superpowers to fight against the Zombies. You can't use your weapons."
The sudden announcement from Qin Feng caught everyone off guard. The superpower users glanced at each other, their expressions looked as if they wanted to die.
For some, their powers were second nature, but for others, especially in such a high-stress situation, it was a challenge to rely solely on their abilities.
Su Jiyai, not being a superpower user, continued to fight with her dagger. She noticed how the dynamics shifted as the superpower users began to utilize their unique abilities.
Fireballs, ice shards, and bursts of energy filled the training ground, each attack aimed at the approaching zombies.
For a moment, a hint of envy appeared in Su Jiyai's eyes.
If only...if only she too had awakened a superpower...
Qin Feng's voice rang out again,
"Remember, control your powers. Precision is key. Wasting energy will only make you vulnerable."
Su Jiyai took down another Level-1 zombie, her movements becoming more fluid with each kill.
The training ground was a cacophony of chaos, but amidst it all, Su Jiyai felt a strange sense of clarity.
She could see the pattern in the zombies' movements, the way they hesitated just before attacking. It wasn't much, but it was enough to give her an edge.
章節 19: Chapter 19: Mei Ling
"Switch partners every two minutes," Qin Feng instructed.
"This will help you learn to fight alongside different abilities."
Su Jiyai found herself paired with a girl who could manipulate fire.
The girl's name was Mei Ling, and her fiery attacks were both impressive and intimidating.
"Cover me," Mei Ling said, her eyes locked on a group of zombies. She raised her hands, and flames erupted, incinerating the closest zombie.
Su Jiyai stood ready, her dagger poised to strike any that got too close.
They worked well together, their movements synchronized. Mei Ling's fire attacks kept the zombies at bay, while Su Jiyai's quick strikes finished them off.
"Five minutes left!" Qin Feng's voice cut through the noise.
The zombies kept coming, but the group's confidence was growing.
Even the boy who had shouted earlier was now fighting with determination, his fear replaced by a newfound resolve.
Suddenly, a Level-2 zombie, a Brute, burst through the line, heading straight for Mei Ling. Su Jiyai's heart raced.
The Brute's speed was terrifying, but she remembered Qin Feng's words: the neck is the weakness.
"To the left!" Su Jiyai shouted.
Mei Ling dodged, her flames missing the Brute by inches. Su Jiyai lunged forward, her dagger aimed at the Brute's neck.
With a swift, decisive motion, she slashed through its neck, and the Brute collapsed, its head rolling away.
"Nice one!" Mei Ling said.
The last few minutes were intense, but the group held their ground. When Qin Feng finally called for a halt, the field was littered with the remains of zombies.
The trainees, though exhausted, stood tall, their faces reflecting pride.
"You all did well for your first encounter. Remember, this was controlled. Out there, it will be much harder. Stay alert, stay together, and never let your guard down.
Now let's start with the new batch." Qin Feng said and couldn't help but look at one particular girl who looked as if she was about to collapse, yet she bravely killed as many zombies as superhumans did.
Qin Feng felt a bit suspicious.
Is Su Jiyai sure that she doesn't have any superpower?
Her body constitution was definitely not normal at all...
"What?" All the superpower users and Su Jiyai were stunned.
However, before they could complain, new zombies started to flock. This time not only there was Level 1 Zombies but also Level 2 Zombies...
........
By the end of the day, all the trainees were so exhausted that they couldn't even lift their legs,
Su Jiyai felt that if she was given a bed, she would immediately lay on it and start sleeping.
"Alright, you all can leave now." Qin Feng left after saying his piece.
"My god! I thought he would never ask us to stop..." One of the superpower users sighed.
Mei Ling who was lying beside Su Jiyai said,
"You have good combat skills."
"Thank you." Su Jiyai replied.
"Let's be friends." Mei Ling said as she extended her left hand.
"Just because I am able to fight now, doesn't mean I will continue to fight well in the future. You should find someone else." Su Jiyai exposed her without mercy.
"Tsk tsk...too clever. However..." Mei Ling turned to face Su Jiyai and said,
"I like it."
Su Jiyai rolled her eyes.
One by one everyone left, however, Su Jiyai stayed on the ground.
Mei Ling was about to ask why she wasn't leaving but Su Jiyai didn't give her the chance and said,
"I want to practice more."
Mei Ling was stunned and turned to leave. Su Jiyai could hear her say,
"Crazy."
After everyone left, Su Jiyai started to practice. Even though her body was tired, Su Jiyai knew that the difference between and the superpower user was too much, if she wanted to live, she had to fill the gap by practicing more hours.
Of course, Su Jiyai underestimated her body's limits because, after an hour, she suddenly felt nauseous and almost fainted.
However before she could fall, familiar arms wrapped around her, and a unique but refreshing smell hit her nose.
Qin Feng...
Su Jiyai lifted her head and their eyes met. The time seemed to have paused and Su Jiyai couldn't think of anything other than the mesmerizing eyes of a certain gorgeous Captain...
Qin Feng was utterly mesmerized. His heart skipped a beat when he saw those clear and pure ocean-blue eyes...
How mesmerizing!
He thought.
After a while, Qin Feng came out of his daze and helped Su Jiyai to stand up,
"You should have rested, why are you still practicing?"
"Nothing." Su Jiyai said with a small smile.
Her heart was beating as if it was some drum!
Qin Feng shook his head,
"It's better if I drop you at the dormitory by myself."
His tone sounded as if he wanted to ensure that Su Jiyai didn't over-practice. Su Jiyai felt sweet in her heart and nodded.
"Ma'am just like I had said, something is going between them." A figure said to a tall figure.
The tall figure was silent before saying,
"Deal with that girl after 5 months. Make sure to throw her in an isolated place filled with zombies, it is best if she becomes a zombie, if Feng kills her with his own hands, he will learn his lesson."
"Okay, ma'am."
"Don't take action right away. Wait for the right time."
Su Jiyai and Qin Feng soon reached the dormitory. Today they weren't silent along the way, they talked about various things.
For once Qin Feng was stunned. Su Jiyai's way of thinking was too unique...
According to her, death doesn't separate two people from each other. Death is just a phase, just like how mortality is a phase. Afterlife is another phase. And maybe there was something more than the afterlife...
Then her life philosophy. If you are doomed to die, you will die anyway but if you can't even try then you are wrong, what if a miracle happens?
It is just like praying to god to win a lottery but not even buying a lottery ticket, so how could god help? So try whenever you can.
On reaching the dormitory, Qin Feng bade a farewell and Siu Jiyai made her way to the bunker bed.
Unsurprisingly she felt the cold gaze of Xi Ziang and Jing Shan on her. Of course, they were angry because Li Yuan was crying and Wang Bao was whispering something to them.
Su Jiyai ignored them. However from then onwards she noticed a significant change in the members of the dorm except for Han Weilin.
No one from the dorm was ready to lend her anything and they would sometimes even pass sarcastic remarks.
At first Han Weilin fought with them, but Su Jiyai stopped her and told her,
"Not everyone is inclined to like and help us. Since they don't want to help it is their choice."
Han Weilin could only reluctantly give up under Su Jiyai's repeated persuasion.
The day of the training ended and Su Jiyai joined the army officially.
Many things changed.
The initially fearful Su Jiyai was now filled with a fighting spirit for her country.
The army life was hard. There weren't resources. Not much to eat, tiredness from the battles, fear of not being able to see the next day.
However, Su Jiyai gradually adjusted.
Coincidentally she and Han Weilin were in the same group.
Days passed one by one.
Clashes in the dormitory increased and with each passing day, new trouble would arise.
Just after 2 months in the army, Su Jiyai's adoptive parents arrived at the army camp and made a scene, they refused to leave and asked for monetary compensation since they had raised Su Jiyai.
Wang Bao openly criticized Su Jiyai for being unfilial and even started to spread rumors about her.
Su Jiyai however refused to give in and didn't give a single federal coin to her adoptive parents.
After all, to not sully their names, the adoptive parents had hired someone else to pretend to be her adoptive parents, how could she let them succeed?
Su Jiyai even tried to explain but except for Han Weilin, a few of her new friends, Mei Ling, and Qin Feng, no one was ready to listen to her.
Was Su Jiyai affected? A little, but that was all. She was grateful that she wasn't alone.
Other than getting pointed and called out names, there were not many changes in Su Jiyai's life.
What made Su Jiyai happy was, she survived 2 months! Even though she was heavily injured sometimes and it was very difficult to endure the pain and the cold while still continuing to fight, she was happy.
How couldn't she?
5 months before she was sure that she wouldn't even last 2 days. But now? She could easily fight level 2 Zombies!
However, she was not powerful enough to fight Level 3 Zombies. Su Jiyai believed that someday she would be able to fight Level 3 Zombies!
There was also Su Yun and Ou Lin. The shameless couple even came to invite Su Jiyai to their grand wedding.
