Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse-Chapter 105: Change Their Training Ground

"Alright, I understand. Let’s try creating that duo technique we improvised before. I think it could be powerful if perfected." Leng Pan suggested as she stopped meditating and went to stand in front of Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen could feel that his wife’s attitude towards training seemed to have shifted. He couldn’t tell what had changed, but something had.

Leng Pan moved her hands as if she was performing a magic trick. Soon the two of them were surrounded by a white mist. This time, the mist was so dense that one couldn’t see through even if they strained to their best. This was both a barrier and a weapon.

Moreover, zombies seemed to be afraid of this mist. Thinking of the spiritual spring water, she decided to absorb more later.

This time, she wouldn’t dilute it. If one wanted to become stronger, they had to take some risks, she didn’t know if she could turn the water hot just as she could control the temperature and make it cold then turn into ice.

However, she believed that if she absorbed it while it was hot, then there would be a change. Not only will her body tempering improve, but also the type of water or mist she could use for attacks would change.

She was sure that the water she created now also carried the effects of the spiritual spring water to some extent. Which was why it could affect the zombies negatively and make them behave as if they had been burnt.

If the water could have the same effect on people, then it would be an advantage. She wanted to be able to control whether to use the water to heal or kill.

This was an idea that had just popped in her head and she was eager to try it. However, she had to wait and first practice her duo technique with her husband.

After the mist covered a large part of the bathroom, Lu Zhen was about to charge it with his flames when Leng Pan suddenly spoke and stopped him.

"Wait a moment." Came Leng Pan’s urgent voice.

Lu Zhen, wondering if something had happened to her, stopped and examined her frantically.

"Did something happen to you? Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked the questions as he turned her around to look if there were any signs of injury.

Leng Pan had not expected her simple sentence to cause so much alarm. She only wanted him to stop before he burned everything in the bathroom.

"No, nothing has happened to me. I wanted you to stop because I remembered that this is our master bedroom bathroom. If we burn it by accident, we would cause a lot of trouble for ourselves.

Let’s find somewhere else to practice and not do such dangerous things in the house.

You could control a small fire ball and extinguish it in the bathtub before, but now if a fire started, I don’t think the water in the bathtub will be enough to put it out.

It’s already late and we can’t go out for now.

Let’s wait until tomorrow and go to the old subway station. It should have been empty for a long time and wouldn’t have too many people there.

Even if there are zombies, it’s only a small number and we could use them for training." Leng Pan suggested after thinking about it for a moment.

They needed to train for large scale battles and training inside the bathroom was no longer viable. Especially with the suspicions she had, they might face strong enemies in the future. She doubted that their enemies would train in the bathroom like them.

"Alright then. It’s indeed not convenient to train here. If we can find a well secluded place to train our abilities, then it would be perfect." Lu Zhen agreed with his wife.

He had also thought that training to become stronger and fight zombies was his greatest mission as that was enough to protect Leng Pan and the rest of his family to avoid the tragedy of their previous lives.

But now it seemed like they needed to do more than just train with killing zombies as their goal. In fact, killing zombies might be their easiest mission to accomplish. They might face an enemy, far more stronger than zombies.

If that happens, then the little training they had wouldn’t protect them from danger. Therefore, he had made up his mind to train even harder and become strong enough that he could deter any enemy even before they fought.

With that in mind, Lu Zhen stopped what he was doing while Leng Pan dissipated the mist surrounding them.

She walked over to the bathtub and filled it with spiritual spring water. She was glad that the water in the spring seemed endless.

Otherwise, fetching so much water so often might just dry it up completely even before the apocalypse progressed enough to need it.

"Can you heat the water in the tub for me? Don’t let it boil, but just make sure it’s hot enough to burn without peeling the skin." Leng Pan asked Lu Zhen while explaining to him what she needed.

Lu Zhen was surprised by her request. It sounded bizarre. He had seen her absorb water before and it seemed to make her stronger. But what was with having hot water in the bathtub? Was she going to absorb it hot?

" Why do you want it to be hot?" He asked tentatively. He was afraid that she would say she was absorbing it into her body.

And like a curse, his fears came true.

"Of course I want to absorb it." Leng Pan replied in a matter-of-fact manner.

If Lu Zhen was holding something, it would have dropped on his foot and he wouldn’t even have noticed.

"How can you think about absorbing hot water? It will burn you. Do you intend to cook yourself?" He asked questions consecutively with enough resistance to stop a speeding car with faulty breaks.

"It’s not a big deal. I want to see if I can control the temperature and make it hot the same way I can turn water into ice.

I have tried it but it doesn’t work. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the concept of how hot water feels like when controlled.

If I can control it and absorb it, then I will understand how it works. That way, I might be able to control it." Leng Pan explained as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Lu Zhen found it hard to accept this kind of Leng Pan. He had noticed that something in her had changed since he mentioned the information Lu Tao had found. But he couldn’t understand what was so important that she would even take such a risk.

"Even if you need hot water or mist, I can always heat it up for you, you don’t need to cook yourself to achieve that." Lu Zhen insisted.

He didn’t want to entertain her madness. Who would have thought her answer would be, "What if we get separated for some reason and I need to use hot water to mist to attack or defend myself? What will I do without you next to me?"

This question stamped Lu Zhen. He had never thought of spending a minute away from her. But he was intelligent and also understood that accidents happen. If they accidentally get separated, will she really need hot water to survive?

Then what would happen if she didn’t have it?

Seeing him deep in thought instead of contradicting her immediately, Leng Pan knew he was convinced. She knew that her husband loved her and didn’t want her to be in pain. But he also understood that they weren’t living in the peaceful era.

Now, everyone had to have the ability to protect themselves even for a short while to give others an opportunity to get to them if they were a distance away.

So, he would agree to let her have every single means available she could use to protect herself.

"Okay, I will help you heat it up, but if it’s too hot and burns you, then please get out immediately." Lu Zhen finally compromised.

He didn’t want to, but he had to so that Leng Pan could expand her arsenal of abilities that could help her survive.

"Don’t worry, I won’t hurt myself. I can turn water into ice. If I feel too hot, I’ll just cool it down." Leng Pan said with a smile as she stood on tiptoes and kissed her husband on the cheek.
