Chapter 16 Encirclement

Ye Xuan learned his lesson from yesterday and set several alarms to get up. He changed into the combat uniform placed aside and after washing up, he took out a bag of bread from the storage box in the kitchen for breakfast.

After doing all this, there are still 20 minutes left, which is more than enough to walk to the training ground.

Before going out, Ye Xuan glanced at Xia Chenxi's room door. He should still be sleeping, so Ye Xuan closed the door quietly.

When Ye Xuan arrived at the training ground, there were not many people there. Some were gathered in groups of three or four, and some were alone like him.

He felt a malicious gaze falling on him, and following that line of sight, he saw a man with a flat head and a fierce face. Ye Xuan didn't understand where this man's unreasonable malice towards him came from.

Ye Xuan retracted his gaze and stood in the corner. Even if he didn't understand these people, he understood that most of them formed a group. Instead of joining them rashly, it is better to remain unchanged in the face of change.

After a while, the team leader came and the members were officially assembled. Ye Xuan was still standing at the end of the team, but Nan Yunzhou, who had stood next to him yesterday, did not show up. The team leader did not explain this and directly asked them to start collective training before free training.

The so-called collective training is physical training, like military training, but the training volume is much larger than that of military training. However, compared with the military service training before the existence of the government, Ye Xuan guessed that the training volume was far from enough.

But it was still very difficult for him, because he was a "three-nothing and one-good" student in college: no physical strength, no physique, no vitality, but no appetite. Fortunately, after yesterday's ordeal, he was able to barely adapt to the training.

The first exercise is to do a plank for ten minutes.

"Everyone, get down!" The leader gave an order and all the personnel lay down in unison.

Ye Xuan clenched his hands, bent down, put his toes on the ground, and kept his body and arms as parallel as possible. In this way, he held on for five minutes. After five minutes, it became very difficult to continue.

The team leader took a round of inspection, walked to Ye Xuan, and stepped on Ye Xuan's butt with his foot.

"You're here for physical training, not to show off."

Someone laughed quietly a few times.

Ye Xuan said nothing, just continued to do plank exercises with his head down.

"Lift your head up. Are you going to let it drop to the ground? Or are you trying to poke at your shameful psychology?"

More laughter rang out.

Harsh words and laughter reached Ye Xuan's ears. He told himself again and again not to bother with these idiots. One day, they would be worlds apart.

If I argue with them now, I will be in trouble with this leader.

The team leader felt bored when he saw that Ye Xuan refused to say anything, so he walked over to the other side to patrol and find fault.

"You lift your butt so high, do you want me to kick you too?"

The man was so scared that he immediately pulled his butt back.

"Hey, your hand is fluttering like a butterfly, or did you do something shameful last night that makes you so weak today?"

The man struggled a few times, but couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground exhausted.

The leader kicked him and cursed, "Useless."

After ten minutes, Ye Xuan supported himself and climbed up from the ground. His muscles were sore all over. Fortunately, he took the medicine that Xia Chenxi brought yesterday, so his neck didn't hurt so much today.

The following workouts are similar to the ten-minute plank, with running, climbing, push-ups, and terrain simulation.

After this set of exercises, Ye Xuan just felt very tired, so tired that his soul almost flew away.

After the team leader announced free training, Ye Xuan collapsed to the ground. He wanted to rest for a while, but he felt an ambiguous look falling on him.

He looked at the source of that gaze, and it was the flat-headed man from this morning.

When their eyes met, the flat-headed man curled his lips and smiled wickedly, then walked towards Ye Xuan, followed by three younger brothers who looked equally ruffian.

Ye Xuan thought to himself that something was wrong and got up from the ground to avoid these people, but it was too late. Those younger brothers surrounded him before Ye Xuan could.

"Brother, if you want to communicate in a friendly manner, it's not impossible to try another way." Ye Xuan pretended to be stupid.

"Friendly communication, of course." The flat-headed man walked through the younger brothers and came in front of Ye Xuan, "Of course, the premise is that you are willing to be honest with me."

Unrelated people gathered together from a distance and watched the show. No one wanted to intervene because the man who talked to Ye Xuan was a famous gangster leader in the prison before the zombie outbreak. No one knew how this guy offended this gangster.

The team leader raised his eyelids and continued to take a nap with his eyes closed. As long as no one was killed, nothing mattered. Even if he was asked about it, the reason would be that helping each other would stimulate the emergence of superpowers. People like Ye Xuan would surrender if they didn't want to continue to be beaten.

This rule, which was once the default rule in prison, is still applied here.

Ye Xuan, a young boy who had little experience in the world, had no idea about the twists and turns. He was still thinking about how to get rid of the gang leader in front of him, not knowing that he was doomed.

"Of course, as long as I know, I will tell you everything." Ye Xuan replied hurriedly.

"This kid is quite sensible." The man with a flat head pointed at Ye Xuan and laughed with the younger brothers around him.

"Of course I have to." Ye Xuan didn't care about the embarrassment and tried his best to show his sincerity.

The man with a flat head approached Ye Xuan and patted him on the shoulder. His face was twisted and greedy, like a poisonous snake suddenly jumping out with its fangs bared, ready to kill its prey with one blow.

"Then tell me, how did that brat you were with yesterday become a mutant?"

Ye Xuan was nailed to the spot, his body began to tremble unconsciously, cold sweat oozing from his back. He had no idea how Nan Yunzhou became a superpower. Yesterday, Nan Yunzhou only took him to do some more physical training. He had no idea how he became a superpower.

"Boy, are you mute?" The hand that was originally lightly placed on Ye Xuan's shoulder suddenly grabbed his shoulder. Ye Xuan felt pain, but forced himself not to cry out.

"Brother, I think this kid is just looking for a beating. I don't want to tell you."

"That's right, Da Hu is right. This kid stayed with Nan Yunzhou for so long yesterday, he must know something."

"Brother, don't worry about anything. Just beat this kid up first. He will open his mouth when he feels the pain."

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the people nearby retreated further away, but could not help but crane their necks to watch closely. They also wanted to know the technique of becoming a superpower. Nan Yunzhou was the first superpower in their reserve team, and also the superpower who returned to the reserve team for training from time to time. He had never spoken to anyone except Ye Xuan, and even this gang leader got angry when he spoke to him.

Now that Nan Yunzhou actually took the initiative to talk to Ye Xuan, everyone's hope fell on Ye Xuan.

They hoped that Ye Xuan would take the initiative to speak. If he didn't, it would be right for the gang leader to teach Ye Xuan a lesson.

The base needs people with special abilities, so it's only natural to share experiences, isn't it?

In this training ground, everyone was eyeing Ye Xuan covetously.
