Chapter 104

On their way back, Zhou Yu and the others encountered a small group of zombified rebels.

The three of them hadn’t brought much ammunition, and Zhou Yu thought it would be good for Liu Haishan to get used to the environment.

After all, soldiers nowadays rely mainly on firearms; their skills with hand-to-hand combat and cold weapons were pretty lacking.

In this world, ammunition was limited—once it was gone, there was no more.

Even if they wanted to find raw materials for gunpowder, they’d have to venture outside, and the outside was swarming with zombies. Searching was difficult and dangerous.

Moreover, Zhou Yu wasn’t particularly comfortable with guns. Although every man wished to own one, Zhou Yu’s marksmanship was limited to spraying bullets indiscriminately.

He couldn’t aim with military precision, shooting exactly where intended, so he simply didn’t like using guns.

Liu Haishan, though a soldier of great renown, was not very skilled with cold weapons.

Relying on the agility and stamina honed in the military, Liu Haishan could barely hold his ground among the zombies.

As Zhou Yu hacked away, he kept an eye on Liu Haishan with a sideways glance.

Shaking his head, he sighed, “Sigh, there’s still a gap. Soldiers without battlefield experience are still a bit immature.”

Hearing Zhou Yu’s sigh, Leng Yuhang stumbled slightly and retorted, “Can you even hold your own? Acting like you’ve been through every battle. Don’t act all mature and seasoned.”

Zhou Yu shot back, “Damn, haven’t we been through enough battles? Those soldiers just spar in the barracks; how can that compare to us? We’ve danced on the edge of life and death, but what about them?”

“They might handle petty thugs and common ruffians, but when it comes to us, can they really manage?”

Liu Haishan, overhearing their exchange, said, “Hmph, I may have less combat experience than you, but otherwise, you wouldn’t stand a chance.”

Zhou Yu replied, “You? Train for a few more years. Temper and attitude won’t help; show me your strength.”

Leng Yuhang just smiled at Liu Haishan’s words without saying anything.

Liu Haishan’s remark sparked a fire in Zhou Yu, who fought with renewed vigor.

Though lacking technique, it was enough to deal with mindless zombies.

Once Zhou Yu and Leng Yuhang had nearly finished off the horde and few zombies remained, they stopped.

Leaning against the front of the vehicle, they lit cigarettes and quietly watched Liu Haishan continue battling the zombies.

By the time Liu Haishan had slain them all, he was visibly exhausted.

Zhou Yu said, “I’ll drive for a while. When you get back, don’t follow Haozi or Leng around to learn anymore. Go straight to Xiaolong and learn cold weapons from him. Lately, there’s no need to stand guard at the villa entrance—I’m not going out much.”

Zhou Yu was about to get into the car when Leng Yuhang grabbed him and asked, “Why do you want him to follow Xiaolong first?”

Zhou Yu replied, “I can’t send you out leading the team alone. I think Liu Haishan’s alright; I want to assign him a squad in the future.”

Leng Yuhang said, “Still, you can’t have him follow Xiaolong first.”

Zhou Yu explained, “It’s not suitable for him to train with you or Haozi right now. His stamina and agility are decent, but learning from you would only reinforce what he already knows. His cold weapons skills are terrible. He needs to learn a weapon that suits him.”

Leng Yuhang sighed helplessly, “Whatever you say makes sense. Why don’t you become a lawyer instead? Why waste your talents in the underworld?”

Zhou Yu laughed and teased, “If I were a lawyer, would you even know me? Would I still be able to annoy you?”

“Besides, I don’t have the skills to be a lawyer.”
