Chapter 16 Physical Training
“Boo-boo-boo——”
On the seventh day of the heavy rain, there was no sign of the torrential rain abating. The dense rain hit the glass windows and the water on the road was already half a person's height.
The water level in the reservoir, which had dropped due to the high temperature, has risen again and is still rising.
With the official advance notice, the continued heavy rain did not cause panic among those who had stockpiled food at home. Online office and online teaching are still proceeding in an orderly manner. The heavy rain did not hinder the daily work and study life of office workers and students.
People who stay at home all day have no extra entertainment activities, and somehow there has been a craze for showing off their stockpiled goods and delicious food on the Internet. People are scrambling to show off their own supplies on Weibo and WeChat Moments to show off and compete with each other.
A few days later, everyone realized that the heavy rain did not stop in about a week as the authorities said, and the food supplies at home were running low. That was when everyone began to hide their supplies in a low profile and hurriedly deleted the pictures they had posted before. However, some people had already remembered them, and after the chaos, they became the first group of people to be caught.
Shuxin and his friends knew that the heavy rain would continue for a long time, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would not go out again until the authorities sent relief supplies.
Taking into consideration the long periods of time when one would not be able to go out, when the house was being renovated, Yan Mo not only had a gym built, but also a shooting training room. In the apocalypse, physical fitness and shooting accuracy are very important.
Good physical fitness can at least ensure that you can wield a knife and run fast when escaping, not to mention your shooting skills. In the apocalypse, no one produces bullets, they are non-renewable resources, and you won't have that many to waste.
When you are being chased by zombies, you can't beat them, you can't aim accurately, and you can't run fast enough. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will be the protagonist!
Yan Mo tailored a set of training plans for Shu Xin and Xiangwen respectively. One of them was raised as a spoiled child, while the other worked in an office all year round, and their physical fitness was very poor.
It goes without saying that Yan Mo has received training since he was a child. Mu Qimai has been helping him deal with things in the dark, and he is on the edge of danger every day. His physical fitness and reaction ability have long been trained. Just like Xiangwen and Shuxin, he is a complete weakling.
The residential community where they live has one apartment per elevator. Residents in each building in the community use the elevator for daily access. The safety stairs are almost for decoration. Under normal circumstances, no one would use the stairs, which makes it convenient for Shuxin and others to carry out daily training.
The whole building has twenty-five floors in total. Yan Mo arranged for the two of them to make twenty round trips every day in the first five days, and then gradually increased the load, limited the time to squeeze their potential, and forced them to increase their speed.
In addition to climbing stairs, there are other basic trainings every day. Yan Mo and Mu Qimai will also explain to them the information and usage of various guns, and then let them conduct shooting training.
However, Yan Mo and Mu Qimai did not slack off. They did daily training with Shu Xin and the others every day, and also took an extra three hours of physical training and two hours of shooting training to ensure that their strength was always maintained at its peak.
After daily training, Shu Xin and Xiang Wen were as tired as dead dogs. If they were not so hungry, they would not even want to move a finger.
Yan Mo also offered to feed Shu Xin, but Shu Xin sternly refused.
There were not just the two of them at home, there were outsiders present as well. Shu Xin absolutely could not behave so awkwardly in front of outsiders. She would be so embarrassed that she would dig a castle in the ground with her toes. Although Yan Mo glanced at them, the two people lowered their heads and ate silently without looking at them.
In the evening, when Yan Mo was giving Shu Xin a muscle relaxing massage, Shu Xin's screams pierced the sky. Fu Xiangwen downstairs received the same treatment.
If it weren't for the good soundproofing during the renovation of their house, people who heard the screams of men and women coming out of their house every day would think they had some special fetish or that it was the scene of a large-scale murder.
Shu Xin and Xiang Wen endured the devilish training every day. They complained about the hardship and tiredness but never said they would give up.
They both knew the importance of these trainings and that they were responsible for their own lives. They did whatever they were told to do without any complaints and gritted their teeth to complete all the trainings.
Yan Mo looked at the bruises and red swellings on Shu Xin's body from the bumps and bumps during training, and felt so distressed that he almost asked her to give up, but he held back in the end.
Dangers are everywhere in the end times. He cannot guarantee to take care of her in every aspect at all times, nor can he guarantee to stay by her side all the time. He can only feel at ease when she has enough self-protection ability.
The days passed by unknowingly in a busy and fulfilling manner, but other people did not have the same good mood as them.
It was as if there was a big hole in the sky, and rain poured down continuously from it. The heavy rain did not stop as expected until the fifteenth day of staying at home.
The city's drainage system could no longer withstand such heavy rainfall. The low-lying areas had already been flooded to the height of five or six floors. The community where Shuxin and his friends lived was located at a higher level, and the water had also flooded into the first floor.
After half a month of training, the results are very obvious. At least after the training, Shuxin no longer acts like a dead dog and doesn't want to move. She even has the energy to play with her mobile phone.
I haven’t paid attention to the community owner group for a long time. During the lunch break, I finally had time to check the messages on my mobile phone.
As soon as I opened the messages, there were so many that my phone froze and I had to restart it.
The number of phone calls, text messages, and WeChat messages were all 99+. Most of the calls and text messages were from unfamiliar numbers. It was obvious that they were from her uncle's family. After the falling out, she blocked and deleted all the contact information of that family. When she found that her number could not be reached, she changed to a new number.
She definitely wouldn't answer their calls. She didn't have the free time to listen to their nonsense. She would just block and delete their new numbers.
The news in the owner group had already exploded. Shuxin had previously pulled Yan Mo in, but with Yan Mo's personality, he would definitely not read such a useless group chat.
Now the group is full of people calling the property management for help, wanting to stay in other people’s rooms for a while.
Today the water flooded into the first floor. Their community is a new one with an occupancy rate of less than 50%. There are still many vacant houses that have not been sold. The property management has the keys, and the residents whose homes were flooded want to contact the property management to move in first.
No one from the property management in the group said anything. Who would risk their life to go out and give them the keys in this situation? No matter how a group of people cursed in the group, the property management ignored them.
Unable to contact the property management, the residents on the lower floors turned their attention to other people in the same building. After someone asked about renting the house, the noisy group suddenly became quiet and no one spoke anymore.
