Chapter 28 What Duan Lei Learned
Since then, Tian Yao has been spending an hour every day at the Taekwondo gym. With her experience battling zombies in her past life, she quickly became adept at sparring with her coach. She also quickly mastered difficult techniques like the whirlwind kick and the double flying kick. While her strength wasn't as good as her coach's, her reaction speed was a real headache for him.
Coach He Yun and another coach stood aside and watched Tian Yao practice the whirlwind kick. Tian Yao was the only practitioner in the gym at night.
"Old Hu, have you ever seen a student learn so quickly?" Han Yun asked another coach, Hu Jianqun. "I haven't seen one, at least not me."
Hu Jianqun was writing something down in a notebook with a pen. When he heard Han Yun's words, he hummed, "I haven't seen it either, but I'm sure Tian Yao is a beginner!"
"I see. I've even discovered Tian Yao's weakness," Han Yun called out to Tian Yao. She clapped her hands and motioned for Tian Yao to come over: "Come here."
Tian Yao stopped and walked over, wiping her sweat with a towel as she walked: "Coach, is my movement wrong?"
"It's not that your movements are wrong," Hu Jianqun said with a smile, "Coach Han said he found your weakness, and I wanted to hear it too."
"Weakness?" Tian Yao recalled her movements and confirmed that she had followed the coach's instructions without making any mistakes.
"Coach Hu said what I was saying first," Han Yun looked at Tian Yao, whose face was flushed. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Now let's talk about your weaknesses."
Tian Yao said seriously: "I'm waiting to hear it, coach, please go ahead--"
"Don't be so serious," Han Yun waved his hand casually. "Actually, for you who are learning this as an amateur, it may not be important, but as a coach, I still want to tell you."
"You've already mastered the moves and techniques, but your attacks are weak and powerless. At best, they're just enough to bluff people!"
Tian Yao's brow furrowed when she heard this. She had learned Taekwondo to fight zombies. If it was just a trick to scare people, she had no intention of trying to scare zombies. After all, her life was at stake. "Then, how do we solve this problem?"
Han Yun laughed. Tian Yao looked so serious that she really liked this child. "It's not a problem. It's very simple."
Simple? Simple, you say? Tian Yao was anxious. After the holiday, the apocalypse would only be a few days away.
"Just find a gym and do some strength training. It won't be a problem," Hu Jianqun added, adding, "Bench press, deadlifts, and maybe some boxing."
This is really simple, Tian Yao muttered to herself: I have to sign up for classes at the gym, and at least get a monthly membership. If I don’t go to the gym, if I want to improve my strength training, I have to buy dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells and the like. My house is so small, and my mom and dad will definitely not let me buy them.
"Thank you, coaches!" Tian Yao thanked the two coaches. "I've finished my training today. See you tomorrow."
When Tian Yao returned home, Tian Decheng and Song Xiaomei were still not home. Someone in her bedroom had already turned on the computer and asked, "Sister Tian Yao, how are your studies going?"
When this matter was mentioned, Tian Yao said dejectedly: "The coach said that my moves are good for scaring people, but I have to deal with zombies, and zombies don't know fear!"
Duan Lei said with a relaxed look: "Leave this matter to me, I will definitely solve it for you perfectly."
"That's easy to say," Tian Yao walked over and was searching on her computer for ways to deal with zombies. She was speechless and raised her hand to touch Duan Lei's head. "How can you find a solution to this kind of thing by searching online? Ask me, I've been through it!"
Duan Lei turned his head away from Tian Yao's hand, his face full of helplessness: "Don't touch me, I'm not a child anymore!"
"By the way, Sister Tian Yao, how do we effectively deal with zombies?"
"I searched online for a variety of methods—"
"The zombie's head is its only weak spot. Just chop off the zombie's head, or split it open and take the things inside, and the zombie will die." Tian Yao looked at Duan Lei with disdain. This brat always found a way to change the subject: "Okay, go play by yourself, I'm going to cook!"
Tian Yao turned and left. Duan Lei pressed a few shortcut keys on the keyboard: "Huh... I almost got discovered!"
Tian Yao, who had just walked into the kitchen, turned back and looked at Duan Lei with a playful look on her face: "I forgot to tell you, although I didn't bring back any special abilities, my hearing--"
"Tell me, what is it you're afraid I'll find?"
Duan Lei looked embarrassed. He took out a book from behind his computer and said, "This is it!"
Tian Yao almost fainted when she saw this. "What did you say you were going to learn to complement me? This? Killing zombies with a recipe?"
"Yeah," Duan Lei realized that his behavior had been exposed by Tian Yao, and the embarrassment quickly turned into a matter of course: "Of course, I don't want to eat fried potatoes every day in the future. You lack life skills, so I can complement you in this area!"
"In the end times, food has become a scarce commodity. It's good enough to have something to eat," Tian Yao had just finished speaking when the sound of taking out keys was heard outside the door.
"I'd better go!" Duan Lei stood up and flipped out from the balcony: "I'll be back later!"
"Yaoyao, what did you cook? Didn't you make fried potatoes today?" Tian Decheng said with a smile as he walked in. "They smell pretty good."
Song Xiaomei came in later: "Yaoyao is good at cooking."
I just got back myself, okay? Tian Yao was praised by her parents, and was completely confused: "Is it fragrant? Why can't I smell it?" Tian Yao walked into the kitchen with full of doubts.
On the kitchen counter, there were two fried dishes and a bowl of soup. The vegetables were cut in a mess, but they smelled really good. Was this made by Duan Lei?
Of course it was him, there was no one else.
The food tasted good, and Tian Yao was praised by her parents so much that she couldn't stand the praise any more. After finishing her meal, she immediately hid in her room.
Tian Yao picked up the cookbook, flipped through it, and then tossed it aside. Cooking skills were basically useless in the apocalypse. Bored, she picked up the mouse. The computer wasn't turned off yet, and she flipped through Duan Lei's previous web browsing history: "Taekwondo Quick Course?"
"Jeet Kune Do Quick Learning?"
"...Tai Chi? What does this kid think the apocalypse is? In the beginning, being physically strong is indeed useful, but in the future, only superpowers can defeat zombies!"
If Tian Yao looks carefully, she can also see information about the use of supernatural powers. Although the records on the Internet are not exactly the same as those in the apocalypse, they are not much different.
What's even more outrageous is that Duan Lei also investigated the formation principles of zombies.
After leaving Tian Yao's house, Duan Lei found an empty basement. In the basement, he cast his supernatural power over and over again until it was exhausted and he could no longer cast it. "I can only condense a few pieces of ice. How can I kill the zombies with this? Do I have to smash them?"
"It takes a whole night of rest to recover full health. Does that mean we have to spend the rest of the time running away? That shouldn't be the case, right? I'll ask her tomorrow—"
