[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

"I heard that you touched someone's chest muscles?" The third brother slapped his chest loudly, his cat-like eyes widened, veins popped out on his neck, and he raised his fist, as if he wanted to punch the little white flower a few times, but he didn't really hit him, he just gestured to show that he was very angry.

Little White Flower also seemed to be very scared and hid for a moment, but she was not really scared. She blinked her big eyes innocently, took the hand of the third brother, climbed up his arm, and comforted him: "I touched him, what's wrong? His muscles are not as developed as yours, but his face is more handsome than yours. I couldn't help it when I saw him, but don't worry, I just simply lust for his body, and I still love you sincerely."

Chu Liuxiang, the person being greedy, was very embarrassed. He was sitting on the sofa, casually wearing a loose-fitting shirt with cartoon cats on it, eating instant noodles. This remark almost made him choke on the noodles. Not to mention him, even the third brother was stunned when he heard it, and suddenly threw the little white flower's hand away: "Get the hell out of here!"

The little white flower walked away angrily.

The third brother instinctively wanted to coax his wife, but was afraid of losing face in front of outsiders, so he didn't move. He coughed and said directly: "You have seen my situation. I won't hide it from you. There are only so many people. The food can last for half a month. There is no shortage of daily necessities, but we are short of talents. My wife said that you knocked down four people in a blink of an eye while sitting on the bed. I believe her. So, you join us and teach us brothers your skills. Then, you can recover here, and we will also take care of your friends. What do you think?"

Chu Liuxiang put down the bowl of instant noodles, smiled subtly, and did not answer him immediately, but asked: "Well..." He gestured: "How big is this house?"

The third brother scratched his head and said, "You mean this community? It's huge. There must be more than 40 buildings and more than 20 rows of villas in the north and south. We didn't clear out all of them. We only cleared out the north area. My brothers and I welded six iron gates to surround it. You even broke one of them open yesterday."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Even so, such a tall building should be more than enough to accommodate a hundred people."

The third brother sneered, "It can accommodate a hundred people, but where can we find those people? Those who have survived to this day are either already living together or have families with them, old people and children, a mess, nothing to worry about, it's better not to have them."

Chu Liuxiang stood up and walked to the balcony as if taking a walk. The place where his third brother lived was naturally a villa with two floors above and one floor underground. The view was excellent and from a distance, he could vaguely see the sign of the People's Hospital building.

This residential area was also extremely stable, at least much safer than the hospital building next to the street. He had noticed when he came here that the house chosen by his third brother had a fairly large green belt separating the residential buildings from the street, and the places without walls were welded tightly with bricks and iron gates. If he hadn't stumbled in by accident that day, he would not have discovered that someone lived here.

I think the zombies can’t be easily discovered.

The third brother stood behind him and said impatiently, "If it's okay, just say it's okay. If it's not okay, just leave. I'm also trying to make a good relationship with you, so I'm giving you a box of instant noodles, a box of mineral water, and some clothes. Why don't you just say something straightforward? Are you pretending to be so deep?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "You saved our lives, and I haven't thanked you yet. How can I take your things again?"

"Why don't I understand what you mean?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "Didn't your wife tell you about this? My friend just gave birth less than six days ago. The baby was taken out by cutting open her belly. A famous doctor helped her take the baby out, and the girl who took care of her was also quite knowledgeable in medicine. Of course, there were other people as well. We were also ambushed by others and were surrounded by zombies. My friend and I both smelled heavily of blood. For the sake of everyone's safety and to lure away the zombies, we drove into your territory by mistake."

"I think my friends should still be alive now. Although I am willing to join you, I am unwilling to give up those friends. If..."

The third brother quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop, and said in disbelief: "You mean, I have to support not only a woman who just gave birth, but also a baby? I have to support a bunch of your friends before you stay? No, buddy, you are a real saint, what do you want by dragging a bunch of old, weak and disabled people with you?"

"If you ask me what I want..." Chu Liuxiang looked into the distance: "I want to free the dead and let the living live well."

“I want to make the world the way it was.”

Although Chu Liuxiang had never lived in this era, he could tell that before the end of the world, people here must have lived very well, at least much better than the world he lived in. This was indeed a world that was too beautiful to be real. Everything was full of ingenuity. Something as elusive as "electricity" was used to the extreme. There were so many magical things that he could not even imagine. The food was even more delicious. Not to mention anything else, the bowl of noodles he had just eaten, which was made with boiling water, was no less than the cooking of the best chefs of his time. To the people here, this kind of noodles was very cheap and anyone could afford it.

It would take hundreds of years and the efforts of millions of people to create such a beautiful world. Even if there was no mission, Chu Liuxiang would never bear to see it destroyed.

The third brother fell into deep thought.

Chu Liuxiang was waiting. He also knew that for someone who was struggling to survive and could barely take care of himself, he would not immediately agree to save the world if he was suddenly asked to do so. He would have to think about it, and it was normal to even think about it for a few days.

Unexpectedly, the third brother thought it through quickly, and said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "I see, it's because of this thought that you gained the supernatural power, right?"

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he had to say yes.

The third brother followed up with, "So what are your special abilities?" His eyes sparkled.

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose: "Martial arts, Qinggong, acupoint pressing and danger warning."

The more the third brother listened, the wider his eyes became. He slapped his chest and said, "Come on, three moves. If you can knock me down within three moves, I will send people to pick up your friend!"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "What if it's within one move?"

The third brother raised his chin and said, "Then I'll let you be the boss!"

"Okay, get ready."

"What's there to prepare for? I'm ready, just do it!"

Snapped--

As soon as he finished speaking, the third brother was slapped to the ground like a dead fish. He was completely dazed and didn't know what day it was. It took him a long time to catch his breath. "Brother, this doesn't seem to be a supernatural power. Have you really practiced it?" The third brother lay on the ground, unable to get up due to the pain. He said in disbelief, "You are so powerful, which bastard can hurt you like that?"

Chu Liuxiang stretched out his hand to pull the man up, but the third brother didn't use his hand. He rolled on the ground and stood up by himself. When he stood up, he found that the usually gentle eyes of the person in front of him had a hint of darkness.

"We will meet them again." Chu Liuxiang said lightly.

……

When the third brother's people drove to the People's Hospital to pick up people, it was already the next morning. Shen Bijun and the others had already left, but they left some words on the rooftop with a marker.

"Zhang Runcheng's Home"

Chu Liuxiang had been to this place once and still remembered the way. It was neither close nor far from the hospital. There would definitely be risks in moving so many people there. They chose Zhang Runcheng's home, naturally hoping that he could come back and reunite with everyone.

According to people who went there, all the supplies on the fourth floor had been moved away. To move so many things at once, they had to drive, which would reduce the risk on the road. If they could arrive safely, those things would be enough for them to use for half a month. If something unexpected happened... I hope not.

My injuries are too severe now. I can walk, sit or lie down, and I can knock down a muscular man like Third Brother with just a gritted teeth. But if I want to go and pick someone up, the risks along the way are too great. If I am not careful, I will repeat the same mistake. Moreover, Lin Shiyin has just woken up, and I am worried about leaving her here alone.

Let's wait for a while until his injuries are almost healed. Only then can we go to pick him up safely.

That night, he asked his third brother's people to go to the hospital again. As usual, they turned on the lights on the twelfth floor, turned them on and off again, repeating this three times, hoping that Shen Bijun and the others could see it so that he could report that he was safe.

After that, it was boring days of recuperation.

The tap water in the community has been cut off, and everyone is drinking bottled water from the supermarket. There is an artificial lake to the south of the North District, and people draw water from there for bathing. The weather is getting colder, and the water is icy, so they have to heat it up before drinking.

The electricity had been out for a long time, and the community did not have power supply facilities like the hospital. People had to rely on gas cylinders and natural gas from every household in the building to make fire and cook, or they had to dismantle furniture and chop wood to make fire. In such a modern metropolis, most of the survivors lived a very primitive life.

Every day, the third brother would arrange people to take turns to stand guard at fixed places - standing in the building, staring at the six iron gates through the glass with binoculars, day and night. Once zombies appeared, if there were few, they would send people out to blow their heads off, if there were many, they also had eight Land Rovers that were fully fueled, stocked with food and drinks, with iron bars welded on the windows, and a bus that was more than two meters high.

The car keys are carried by the driver. He hangs the keys around his neck and does not take them off even when taking a shower. Who will sit in which car is also arranged in advance, and he is ready to run away at any time.

This is what a qualified base should prepare!

Chu Liuxiang felt ashamed after reading these preparations. He was a newcomer here and was not only unfamiliar with zombies, but also with this world. He also lacked the corresponding experience. If he had implemented any of these preparations, he would not have suffered so much!

It was too late to regret, and it was useless to think too much. He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well teach these people some martial arts. Third brother's subordinates were extremely curious about his mysterious skills, and when they heard that he was willing to teach, they were all very happy. Not to mention that they would have more skills and more lives when encountering zombies, it would be very cool to just stay safe and sound and master the skills of flying and hiding!

The professor's location was set in the basement of the third brother's villa. It was spacious and soundproof, so there was no need to worry about this group of people shouting and attracting zombies.

Of course, learning martial arts also requires a natural aptitude. People with poor natural aptitude cannot practice for ten days even if they practice for ten years. Many people cannot reach the level of a third-rate master in their entire life. It can be said that those below the third rate depend on personal effort, and those above the third rate depend entirely on talent.

It is best to start practicing martial arts from childhood. The skeleton of an adult is already shaped, so no matter how much practice you do, it will only be the same. Chu Liuxiang had already thought about it before teaching. He did not force these people to become masters. He only taught the basics and strived for practicality. First, build up strength and physical strength so that they can fight and escape when they encounter zombies. Finally, as long as they can react the moment he attacks, instead of just staring blankly, they will be considered a master.

However, even though he had prepared himself mentally, Chu Liuxiang was still shocked by the physical fitness of these people.

The training had just begun, - Chu Liuxiang thought it had just begun - Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue, gasping for breath and said: "Brother Chu, my dear brother, are you sure this is something a human can practice? Do you want to kick my legs another hundred times? Will my legs still be legs after you kick them?"

Chu Liuxiang was silent for a while, hesitated for several times, and finally did not say "This is just a warm-up to avoid hurting your muscles and bones when you really start practicing."

The third brother persisted. He was a fitness coach. He immediately raised his leg high and put it on Xiao Wu's head, cursing: "If it's not for humans, how can it be for dogs? Just listen to Brother Chu. If you can't do it, find a place to hit your head and die!"

Xiao Wu walked away embarrassedly.

After a while, the walkie-talkie on the third brother's shoulder rang.

"There's something going on at the North Second Gate! A car is coming, and the guy got out and seemed to be throwing something at our gate. What should we do?"

"Sprinkle something? Sprinkle what?"

"It was too far away, I couldn't see clearly. After spreading the seeds, the man drove away. I don't know what he was going to do."

"Maybe he was peeing? Never mind." The third brother wiped his sweat and didn't take it seriously, but Chu Liuxiang's eyes were stern.

It's them!
