Chapter 50 Combat Training

Although Gu Huaishan exempted Jiang Xianchuan from the arduous task of patrolling and exploring, Bai Su immediately assigned him another equally difficult task - to lead a group of newcomers in training.

Looking at these guys who had no combat experience at all, Jiang Xianchuan suddenly felt a wave of headache. They were only running a few laps, but they were already exhausted and out of breath.

If they really encountered ferocious zombies or survivors with ulterior motives, it would be simply impossible for them to survive given their current condition and abilities.

"Everyone cheer up! Today, I will first teach you some of the most basic close combat skills." After saying that, Jiang Xianchuan gently waved to Li Lingyu who was standing beside him.

After Li Lingyu walked up quickly, Jiang Xianchuan took a deep breath, got ready, and said in a deep voice: "Let's start."

Li Lingyu suddenly threw a punch, heading straight for Jiang Xianchuan's face. However, Jiang Xianchuan dodged the seemingly powerful but actually flawed attack with ease.

"Yubao, be serious." After hearing this, Li Lingyu nodded quickly, indicating that he understood. However, no matter how he attacked, every move seemed to have been seen through by Jiang Xianchuan, and was easily resolved. Faced with such a situation, Jiang Xianchuan waved his hands helplessly and said, "Forget it, forget it, you should rest first."

At this time, Jiang Xianchuan turned around and shouted to everyone: "Okay, the demonstration is over, now it's your turn to practice!" After that, he walked towards Li Lingyu who had been sitting quietly beside him without hesitation.

Jiang Xianchuan said, "Oh, you have to be more serious next time. I wanted to give them a perfect demonstration." Li Lingyu just shook his head lightly, then looked at Jiang Xianchuan seriously and replied, "I can't do that to you."

"What? Are you afraid of hitting someone? Are you so confident that you can hurt me?" Jiang Xianchuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at the person in front of him with a half-smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"No, I'm just afraid that you would hit me and it would hurt my hand." Li Lingyu answered seriously. He looked so sincere that people couldn't help but want to believe that what he said was true.

Jiang Xianchuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter: "Oh, Yubao, you are so cute." He laughed so hard that he fell over, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and Li Lingyu's face turned red instantly.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice was heard: "Brother, are you busy?" Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Lin Pianyue walking towards this side gracefully.

Hearing this voice, Li Lingyu, whose face was originally flushed, couldn't help but frowned, and muttered to himself: "Why is it her again?" At the same time, he subconsciously reached out and tightly grasped Jiang Xianchuan's hand, as if he was afraid that the other party would suddenly run away.

"Sister Pianyue, how come you have time to come here? I'm not busy now." Jiang Xianchuan greeted Lin Pianyue with a smile, his tone friendly and natural.

Lin Pianyue walked closer and handed an exquisite bag in her hand to Jiang Xianchuan, saying softly: "I had nothing to do today, so I made some cookies, and thought of sending them to you for a try." After she finished speaking, a shy smile appeared on her face, as charming as a peach blossom blooming in spring.

"Thank you, Sister Pianyue." Jiang Xianchuan took the bag and thanked her politely. However, at this moment, Li Lingyu, who was standing next to him, pouted his lips, feeling sour in his heart, as if a pot of vinegar had been overturned.

Lin Pianyue was a meticulous person, so she would not miss any of Li Lingyu's subtle changes in mood. Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, her eyes inadvertently swept over the two people's tightly clasped hands.

This glance was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly letting her understand everything. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Then she said to Jiang Xianchuan with excitement: "Oh, I'm so sorry, brother! Sister, I suddenly remembered that I have some important things to deal with, so I have to leave first." After saying that, before Jiang Xianchuan could react, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Looking at Lin Pianyue's receding back, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He always felt that Lin Pianyue behaved very strangely today, especially when she was leaving. She seemed to be trying hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth, and her whole expression seemed a little weird.

However, before he had time to think about it, Li Lingyu beside him gently pulled the corner of his clothes, bringing his thoughts back to the scene before him.

So Jiang Xianchuan sat there with Li Lingyu again, watching the other team members continue their training quietly.

Time passed by minute by minute. After a while, Jiang Xianchuan stood up, walked towards the people who were training, and shouted loudly: "Okay, let's stop today's training. You can go and rest."

After hearing this, the team members who were training seriously stopped what they were doing and breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Yubao, how about we call Shiyi to eat snail noodles together in the evening?" Jiang Xianchuan blinked his big eyes and asked Li Lingyu with anticipation.

Li Lingyu nodded slightly, without much change in expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of obedience.

In fact, every time when faced with such a choice, Li Lingyu never took the initiative to express his opinion, because for him, as long as it was something Jiang Xianchuan wanted to eat, he would enjoy it with him without complaint.

Soon, they returned home, and Jiang Xianchuan excitedly called Shi Yi and invited her to come over to share this delicious snail noodle dinner.

Jiang Xianchuan took out a few bowls of snail noodles and cups of milk tea from the space, and then placed them neatly on the dining table. The rich aroma of sour bamboo shoots instantly filled the entire room, making people salivate.

"Wow! I've worked hard all day, and now I can finally reward myself!" Jiang Xianchuan said excitedly, as he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, scoop up a big mouthful of snail noodles and put it into his mouth.

The smooth and tasty rice noodles, the spicy and delicious soup and the unique taste of sour bamboo shoots intertwined and blended in his mouth, stimulating his taste buds and making him unable to help but let out a satisfied moan.

Then, he picked up a cup of iced milk tea and drank it in big gulps. The cool and sweet milk tea slid down his throat, colliding with the remaining spicy taste in his mouth, bringing a wonderful taste experience.

At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan's face was filled with an extremely happy smile, as if all his fatigue had disappeared at this moment.

"I live just to eat delicious food!" Jiang Xianchuan exclaimed in praise. Shi Yi and Li Lingyu were also infected by him and smiled.

However, just as Jiang Xianchuan was leisurely immersed in such a wonderful life, in the farm far away, Brother Wang was anxiously waiting for the team led by Jiang Xianchuan to return, but time passed by and there was no sign of them.

Not only that, even the imprisoned Yi Yuzhi disappeared without a trace. Brother Wang's uneasiness gradually intensified, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Finally, when night fell, Brother Wang had to face the reality - the team led by Jiang Xianchuan had not returned on time!

This shocking fact woke Wang up from his dream. He began to carefully recall the details of his encounter with Jiang Xianchuan, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Gradually, a terrible thought emerged in his mind: Could it be that Jiang Xianchuan was a complete liar from the beginning? All of them were deceived by Jiang Xianchuan's cleverly woven lies and played by him!

Thinking of this, a nameless rage like a volcanic eruption instantly rushed into Brother Wang's heart. He was so angry that he was shaking all over. His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and he didn't feel the pain at all.

Brother Wang gritted his teeth and swore that he would make Jiang Xianchuan pay a heavy price for his actions.
