Chapter 7: Training

His words were firm, holding an undertone of strict discipline.

"First I want everyone to introduce themselves with the name of their superpower."

One by one everyone introduced themselves and when it was Su Jiyai's turn, one of the girls commented,

"Don't say beauty is your superpower because zombies won't care about your beauty when fighting."

Instantly everyone laughed.

Su Jiyai was a little discouraged yet she didn't show it on her face and said,

"I am Su Jiyai. I have no superpower."

Everyone again laughed while Qin Feng continued to look at Su Feng.

Su Feng looked at everyone who wanted to look down at her and then looked ahead and said,

"But I have strong willpower, also I don't laugh at someone's situation as laughing at someone won't make me powerful, and I consider it as my superpower."

Her voice wasn't loud but it reached everyone.

All those who were laughing paused and felt awkward.

Indeed laughing at someone won't make them powerful.

A glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes and he signaled Su Jiyai to step back.

Su Jiyai felt better when she saw the constipated look on the superpower user's face and she stepped back to her position.

Want to mess with her? At least have some IQ.

Qin Feng looked at everyone and said,

"We will start by running 10 km."

One of the boys exclaimed instantly,

"10 km? It will take us a whole day to finish."

Someone couldn't help but say,

"Doesn't matter to me I am a speed superpower user!"

Qin Feng heard them and said to the boy who first talked,

"You will run 20 km, otherwise you won't get any food for the next 2 days. As for strength and speed type superpower user, you all will run 30 km."

The sound of gasps sounded, and before anyone could protest, Qin Feng continued,

"I am ready to listen to any words of protest only after adding another 5 km."

Just when everyone was sighing Su Jiyai had already started running.

She had read the board before entering that one lap of the training ground was 500 meters.

In 20 laps she would be able to complete her 10 km.

Instead of wasting time, it's better if she utilized it.

Seeing Su Jiyai running some of the superpower users felt ashamed and started running.

Soon the remaining people started running with reluctance.

While running some of the girls kept on pushing Su Jiyai while passing by, but Su Jiyai ignored them.

By the time she finished running 10 laps, Su Jiyai was already panting heavily, even after maintaining a moderate speed, her legs and chest were aching.

As for other people, they were still fine even after completing their 20 laps.

This was the gap between an ordinary person and a person with superpowers.

Soon everyone was finished with their task, while Su Jiyai was still on her 16 lap.

Some of the people couldn't help but complain,

"The training is so laborious! I almost couldn't keep up!"

"Yeah! Thank god I have the strength type power otherwise I would have stopped at the 10 laps, truly it was very difficult..."

As the girl was saying this she noticed that Su Jiyai was still running, when everyone sensed that the girl had stopped talking and was looking in Su Jiyai's direction, they couldn't help but gasp.

Su Jiyai was still running...

Su Jiyai was even feeling dizzy and wanted to stop but she knew that if she stopped then others would have a chance to mock her and hence she kept on running.

Qin Feng looked at the small girl whose entire face was flushed, and looked like she would collapse soon but surprisingly she only fell on her knees when she completed her 20th lap.

Su Jiyai panted heavily and finally, after 10 minutes when her breathing turned normal, she slowly returned to position.

Everyone present was silent.

Qin Feng, however, didn't show any mercy and said,

"Let's move to our next exercise."

He asked them to do 100 crunches.

Around 70 or something everyone gave up, while Su Jiyai was only able to do 40.

"Take a break and have your lunch." Qin Feng announced after the alarm rang.

All the people present felt relieved.

Su Jiyai went to the cafeteria and got her lunch.

The lunch was very plain, just like the one she had in the Su Family.

A loaf of bread with half a cup of water.

Due to the apocalypse, the food became scarce. All the basic necessities such as water, clothes, and other facilities became rare.

Su Jiyai could hardly remember the day when she was able to have a comfortable shower and drink enough water.

Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, Su Jiyai ate the dry bread and only drank water when she was finished even though the bread was hard to swallow.

It wasn't like there was no choice...she could buy pickles but they were way too expensive.

A single packet of pickles costs around 2000 federal coins.

She only had 26 federal coins, in her hand...

Soon their break was over and Su Jiyai returned to the ground.

Since she had been under the sun since morning Su Jiyai didn't feel much but now that she had returned from the shed, the heat from the sun felt a bit unbearable...

After the apocalypse the normal weather temperature of 35 degrees changed to 45 degrees.

At first, it was hard to adapt to the heat but as time passed the humans slowly adapted to the heat.

However, she didn't have time to continue with her thought process, so the training started again.

First Qin Feng asked them to run 10 laps as a warm-up.

Then it was time to do 300 lunges.

Around 200 everyone gave up while Su Jiyai gave up at 156.

As the exercise went on Su Jiyai lagged, but Qin Feng said nothing to her 

By the time the training ended, Su Jiyai was already on the verge of fainting.

Yet her heart was filled with disappointment.

Why was everything so hard?

Why is she lagging so far behind everyone?

Qin Feng looked at the tired face of every trainee and said,

"Today I was lenient on everyone by letting everyone give up halfway but tomorrow I won't be so lenient. Whoever won't be able to finish the exercise, they will not get food that day."

Saying so Qin Feng left.
