Fu Ke threw a long knife to Lu Xun, about half a meter long: “Take it for self-defense. Although the metal power can be condensed into a weapon by itself, your current power level is too low. Even the whole body hardening can’t be done.”
Then she took out a crystal core and said, “Superpower users can absorb the energy in the crystal core. You can absorb the energy here to improve your own abilities, but this is only an auxiliary effect.”
“Of course, for specific improvement, I don’t know the method. You can only figure it out on your own.” Fu Ke shrugged, “Okay, let’s go.”
“Thank you…” Lu Xun felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that Fu Ke was chasing him away as impatiently as swatting away flies.
Due to the shortage of food, Zhang Zhongmin announced that everyone needed to go out to search for supplies after just half a month of training. In fact, at the beginning of the training, everyone in the school vaguely knew that the next step after the training would definitely be just to go out and look for supplies.
But when the day came, everyone was afraid. But no one dared to say anything.
Because everyone knew that there was not much food left in the school. If they didn’t look for supplies, they would starve to death even if they were not eaten by zombies.
There were a total of 2,832 people in the school. This number did not include the elderly teachers in the school.
There were ten people including the school’s coach and Zhang Zhongmin, five people from the security team, and one person Lu Xun. Each class was then led by one of them, so it was divided into sixteen classes.
There were 177 people in each class. Although the people assigned to the security team were not happy, they were okay. Because the school’s security team all retired from the army, although it was not as good as active military personnel, no one was making trouble.
But the people assigned to Lu Xun’s class became dissatisfied.
“Instructor Zhang, why does Lu Xun get to lead a class? And why should we be assigned to Lu Xun?” The person who spoke obviously knew Lu Xun.
But his words also asked the thoughts of many people.
“Yes, he is just like us and participates in training with us. Why should we let him lead the team? I am not convinced by him!”
“I am not convinced either! Instructor Zhang, I know that the number of instructors is limited now, but you can’t do this either. For us. What ability does Lu Xun have to lead us?”
“That’s right, I don’t dare go out to look for supplies. It’s totally insecure for someone like us to be led by him.”
The class assigned to Lu Xun immediately exploded.
What they said was so lively that it made the huge playground noisy.
At the Exclusive Restaurant, Fu Ke’s eyebrows were crooked, and she was sitting at the door with her lips pressed together. The door to the entrance had already been opened, and a piece of white paper was pasted on the vertical signboard with a few large lines of words written on it.
And she was using her mental power to observe the inside of the school. She smiled even more happily when she heard someone questioning Lu Xun.
Lu Xun’s abilities were definitely no better than those of active soldiers. Even if he had superpowers, he hadn’t become invincible all of a sudden. If Zhang Zhongmin didn’t know that he had special powers, he might be at a disadvantage if he didn’t know his trump card.
But once you know what his superpower was, Lu Xun’s gold superpower, which had not even broken through to the second level yet, was no match for Zhang Zhongmin.
But since they started training, Fu Ke had been observing occasionally. Although Lu Xun had special powers, he was not arrogant at all. He was also very serious when training.
It could be said that his training was very good. Among all the people in the school, no one could compare with Lu Xun. That’s why Zhang Zhongmin asked Lu Xun to lead a class alone.
She looked at Zhang Zhongmin’s swarthy face with his mental power and scanned the people below with her sharp eyes.
Perhaps because of being sedated by her eyes, the voices below became smaller and smaller and finally disappeared completely.
“I know that everyone has doubts about the decision I made. There are doubts and even dissatisfaction.” Zhang Zhongmin waited for them to quiet down before speaking loudly.
Looking at the group of people standing straight below, the effect of this period of training was still obvious.
At least the standing postures were very standard, and even when there was a fuss just now, the formation was not disrupted.
“Why should I let Lu Xun lead a class by himself? Because so far, Lu Xun is the one who has trained most seriously and with the highest results in the past half month!”
“Of course, this is only second, and more importantly, he can protect everyone. If there is nothing he can do…” Zhang Zhongmin’s lips curled up slightly: “Even I can’t do anything.”
In the past half month, Zhang Zhongmin had been observing Lu Xun. It was said to be observation, but he was also on the defensive.
After all, he had special powers, which made him different from ordinary people. A person with superpowers, especially a young person, who was, to put it bluntly, a child. It was easy to become arrogant.
However, Lu Xun did not. He always maintained the same posture as before and did not feel that he was superior to others because of his special powers. Zhang Zhongmin admired this very much.
Secondly, when facing danger and needing to test his temporary response, Lu Xun reacted quickly and could make the decision that was most beneficial to his side in the shortest time.
If it weren’t for the end of the world, Zhang Zhongmin would definitely bring such people to the army.
In short, it took them half a month to train and inspect. Zhang Zhongmin felt that Lu Xun was capable and qualified to lead a class by himself.
Their numbers were limited and their energy was also limited. It was not impossible to divide the class into fifteen classes, but there would then be too many people in one class.
Immediately the whispers started again.
Because even though when they were training during this period, Lu Xun was really outstanding. But they all felt that Instructor Zhang’s words were a bit exaggerated. No one present felt that Lu Xun could compare to Instructor Zhang.
No, it should be that Lu Xun couldn’t compare to any instructor, not even the people in the security team.
That’s why the one hundred and seventy-seven people assigned to Lu Xun’s class complained.
“I know you don’t believe it, but those of you who have trained with Lu Xun know it. You can’t beat him, right?” Zhang Zhongmin narrowed his eyes.
“Of course, if we talk about fighting alone, I am indeed stronger than Lu Xun. But…” The words were said too late and then quickly.
Zhang Zhongmin drew a dagger from his waist and directly attacked Lu Xun behind him.
There were exclamations of surprise from the entire audience. They did not expect that Instructor Zhang would take action as soon as he said so. There was no warning at all.
The group of people who were standing behind him stepped back, and no one came up to stop him. And even gave them enough space. Although Lu Xun was stunned for a moment by the attack without warning.
But his body’s conditioned reflex began to block Zhang Zhongmin’s attack.
He didn’t know what Zhang Zhongmin was planning, nor how he should deal with it. So he could only defend and dare not attack. But as time went by, dense sweat secreted from Lu Xun’s forehead.
With a stern look on his face, although Zhang Zhongmin didn’t know what he wanted to do, he showed no mercy with every move. Lu Xun, who only defended, was almost unable to resist.
Suddenly his eyes changed, he then changed his defensive strategy and started to fight back.
Zhang Zhongmin was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect Lu Xun to persist for so long.
What he didn’t know was that superpowers not only gave one superpower more than ordinary people but also gave them much better physiques than ordinary people.
Just when the dagger in Zhang Zhongmin’s hand crossed Lu Xun’s arm, some of the timid ones below couldn’t help but scream in a low voice.
However, in full view of everyone’s eyes, Lu Xun’s arm turned metallic. The dagger made a crisp sound as it sliced through.
Suddenly the whole place became silent.
Everyone who saw it clearly was stunned.
Zhang Zhongmin wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away the dagger and turned to look at the group of people below: “Yes, Lu Xun is still a superpower holder.”
Lu Xun silently put away the metal nails he had just made and returned.
This was the result of his secret training at night during this period, although he was unable to produce swords and guns. But he could metallize his fingernails and turn them into sharp weapons.
This was also thanks to his previous understanding of metal powers from when he read novels.
The words “superpower” were like a bolt from the blue.
Everyone in the audience was shocked. Who among the younger generation didn’t know about superpowers? Who hadn’t read apocalypse novels?
Among them, Qiu Yingying was the most shocked.
She had made observations before to see if there were any people with superpowers around her, but to her disappointment, there were no superpower holders among the people around her.
Every time she saw everyone drinking water but not daring to drink more, she had the urge to tell them that she was a water power user.
But thinking about the fact that there were no people with special abilities in the school, she didn’t want to be regarded as an abnormality. So she didn’t dare to say anything, so she just kept enduring it, and every time she drank water, she drank a small amount as carefully as she could.
Only when she got back to the dormitory did she dare to drink heavily.
However, now Zhang Zhongmin said that there were other people with superpowers in the school. Instructor Zhang also knew about it, and they were still gold type superpowers of the combat system! Qiu Yingying covered her mouth and couldn’t believe it.
While she was careful to hide her powers, Lu Xun exposed his powers without any hesitation.
“Now, do you have any other opinions about letting Lu Xun lead the team? If so, you can raise them. If you still don’t believe him, just stand on the right side. I will reassign you to other classes later.”
Zhang Zhongmin’s strong voice sounded on the playground.
People who were assigned to Class 16, Lu Xun’s class, looked at each other, but no one spoke.
There was still a sense of fanaticism in his eyes.
That’s a superpower holder! It was completely unknown whether Lu Xun’s power was still a first-level power since it could only harden a small area of his body. Now it was very difficult to metalize nails and use them as weapons to attack.
So everyone looked at Lu Xun with a hint of fanaticism.
People in other classes also began to envy Lu Xun’s class at this time.
Zhang Zhongmin nodded with satisfaction: “Since I have no objection now, I don’t want to hear any doubts about your squad leader in the future. Do you understand?”
“Understood!” More than two thousand people said in unison.
“Now, the squad leaders of each class will divide your class into several teams and then start the training of each class. Two days later, we will set out to collect supplies!” Zhang Zhongmin said.
“Yes!” The whole audience was furious.
Fu Ke looked at the vertical sign dejectedly and dragged herself in silently.
She had already finished eating the crystal cores that Lu Xun had brought before. After eating the crystal cores, it felt very unpleasant to cook pork again. She missed the taste of crystal core so much.
Now she didn’t want to eat pork as long as she wasn’t going crazy with hunger.
Originally thinking that they were about to set off, Fu Ke was planning to place a sign at the door to attract their attention, but the result was good. There were still two days left!
Each class was divided into ten teams, seven teams had eighteen people, and three teams had only seventeen people. Captains of each team were selected separately.
Of course, since they were not very familiar with each other yet, there were only temporary captains who may change in the future.
Then the sixteen classes gathered for the last two days of training.
The university campus in City D was still very large, so basically the teams could be separated without interfering with each other.
