The others were probably so frozen that their heads were frozen, and they didn't care about any questions. They just followed Fan Zun's movements and moved a little to the side, keeping some distance from everyone else. Suddenly, they started to tell the boy with the water element to start controlling the water. The boy didn't know if he was frozen stupid or what, but Han Ling, who was standing next to him, understood Fan Zun's intention in an instant. The others also tacitly used their bodies to surround the man in the middle to prevent him from being frozen. The man finally understood a little bit, and mechanically obeyed and started to control the water. As the water curtains came out of the man's water element ability, they soon froze into a solid ice wall, followed by a second ice wall, and finally it was full and ready to cap it. The top and the wall formed a triangle, with a small hole for ventilation. Xiao Yi also asked Han Ling at this time: "What is your wood element ability like?"
Han Ling raised a small branch in her hand with trembling hands, and then, the small branch began to sprout and grow larger visibly with the naked eye, but because the temperature was too low, it wilted after a while. Si Feifei also understood their intention and immediately a flame appeared from her hand to ignite the branch. After a while, this small space, which was not big and could only accommodate six people, was no longer so cold. Everyone stretched their hands and feet, and the earth-type boy also grabbed a handful of sudden from his clothes, and then said with a shiver: "Give everyone a cushion, sit for a while and warm yourself by the fire." Then, a thick layer of dry sudden appeared on the ground. Everyone sat down close together, and it was indeed not so cold.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, look!" The few who were still conscious saw that they had frozen water into a small igloo, using their fire powers to stay warm. The slow heat dissipation allowed their fire powers to rest. Everyone began matching up with teammates and huddling together in groups of three or five for warmth. However, some people had already lost consciousness due to the cold, and Wu Jie immediately ordered them to be carried away.
Today's training had a very high elimination rate. This extreme cold endurance test was actually a test of both ability and teamwork. It also taught everyone a profound lesson: a single tree cannot make a forest.

Meanwhile, Yu Wei's research progress has reached a critical juncture these days, and just a daily greeting with Xiao Yi is incredibly sweet. The backpack Xiao Yi packed for her that day was filled with snacks, nuts, and even instant coffee. Yu Wei used to love Americano or pour-over coffee, occasionally commenting on the connection between sourness and roasting. But after the apocalypse, she's fallen head over heels in love with the instant coffee she once hated. Xiao Yi gave her two varieties: one with milk and sugar, a latte, and one pure black coffee. They both tasted delicious, and most importantly, they were convenient for replenishing energy and portable. She'd even have to hide to drink a little. One day, Yu Wei locked everything in the lab, preparing to head to the dorm for a rest, when she saw an uninvited visitor standing at the entrance to the research institute. Yu Wei tried to avoid him, but he saw her and approached her. The voice was kind but with a hint of shrewd calculation: "Weiwei, why don't you go home and live? Grandpa misses you." Yu Wei was very disgusted by the look of the visitor, but it was not easy to conflict with him in public. The expression on his face was annoyance that could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried: "Auntie, why are you here? Aren't you busy?"
The woman standing in front of Yu Wei was wearing a down jacket with a fox fur collar and clean, light winter shoes. She looked healthy and did not look like someone who had suffered in the apocalypse. She was Yu Wei's aunt, her uncle's wife. The woman reached out to grab Yu Wei's hand, but Yu Wei dodged it calmly. The woman's face froze for a moment, and her eyes turned resentful: "Little bitch, if you were still useful, you would starve to death sooner or later." The woman thought so in her heart, but did not show it on her face. Instead, she became more amiable: "No hurry, your father and grandfather miss you. When will you come home for dinner?"
Yu Wei said in a vigilant tone: "I went back home a few days ago and met my father and grandfather. If you are fine, go back early. I will rest first. Time is tight and the task is heavy recently." After that, Yu Wei left without waiting for the woman to respond.
The woman was about to grab Yu Wei and say something, but Yu Wei had already slipped away like a loach. The woman stood there, her eyes seemed to be filled with a venomous snake, greedily watching Yu Wei's back as he left.

However, those who had just completed the training also faced today's elimination rate of 30%. That is to say, on the first day, 540 people participated in the training, and only 378 people passed successfully. At this rate, it is estimated that everyone will have to go back to the training camp and be retrained in a few days.
Those who passed the training secretly rejoiced, while those who failed, whether they felt regret, anger, or helplessness, didn't matter. The winners were kings and the losers were bandits, it had always been that way.
After dinner, we began the basic theory training. Everyone had two hours of free time to practice their abilities. They could either follow the guidance of a more experienced person from the previous 40 people, or they could start by controlling their own strength.
There was a huge training room with no end in sight. Some places were filled with "black smoke" and some places were filled with "turbulent waves". Only a few psychics led by Wu Jie were there, and they were screaming...
At this time, Xiao Yi still didn't know that his wife was being targeted. The communication technology in the base was not that advanced. Only short text messages could be sent, and it also required a contribution point deduction. Almost no one would use it. Unless it was a matter of life and death, Xiao Yi and Yu Wei treated it as a check-in, and would send each other a greeting before going to bed.
