Chapter 56: Spirit (2/2)
It was very clear that these last seven or eight zombies were not for combat training, but rather, survival training to test LuLu’s ability to adapt. However, LuLu’s reaction to the situation once again disappointed Liu Gan.
“But you didn’t tell me…” LuLu’s face had a very grieved expression.
“Training is already over! In the future, there won’t be someone around you cursing at you. Let me tell you, everything depends on yourself! When something happens, use your head! This is a not a place where you survive with your looks, but rather with your head! Your head! Understand?” Liu Gan pointed at his head and berated LuLu a few more times.
“I got it.” Lulu looked down. Since she was born, no one had ever scolded her this harshly with such nasty words. But in her heart, she couldn’t bear to get angry at him.
“If you want to rely on your own strength to survive, learning to kill zombies is not enough. In this world, the most frightening things are not zombies, but rather the remaining survivors and other players.
In a post-apocalyptic place, humanity’s ugly side is fully revealed. When you run into these kinds of people, you shouldn’t be kindhearted. Don’t naively believe everything they say, and don’t be overly sympathetic. Otherwise, even if you have already mastered killing zombies, you will die by these people’s hands sooner or later.” Liu Gan told LuLu in a milder tone.
Liu Gan considered the promise he made to Pan Hua to teach LuLu how to kill zombies fulfilled; incidentally, he also taught her a few survival skills. He did not consider these several hours as not wasted on her. If she could listen to these words, it would be her good fortune, but if she chose to ignore them, then that would be her fate.
“Is humanity that bad? I don’t think so. You saved me so many times, and you have always been helping me.” LuLu replied to Liu Gan, bravely looking him in the eyes.
“I helped you because I promised Pan Hua.” Liu Gan looked away.
“You weren’t even on friendly terms with him. You helped me because deep down you are very kindhearted. You deliberately act indifferent to hide that side of you.” LuLu continued speaking.
“Don’t fancy yourself to be a psychologist! Men are far more complicated than you can imagine.” Liu Gan coldly replied to her, and after calling Jiang JinYuan, walked in big strides towards a residence near the district’s entrance. It was the same residence that he helped find for Pan Hua and LuLu to use as temporary shelter.
The training took longer than expected. It was now almost noon. LuLu went ahead into the residence and carried Dong Dong over. The three adults and one child ate a simple lunch together—mainly bread, biscuits, and instant noodles prepared by LuLu.
Dong Dong became slightly more familiar with the three. He probably realized that they meant no harm, and he eventually stopped looking afraid. After eating his fill, he held his toy airplane and ran around the table.
“Spirit! Transform in helium suspension mode!” Dong Dong stopped beside LuLu, lifted his toy airplane, and said in a loud voice.
“It’s called Spirit?” LuLu asked while eating her noodles.
“Yes, my grandpa is the captain onboard Spirit!” Dong Dong proudly replied.
