This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 23
A few days later, it was a cloudy day. It started to rain at noon, making it impossible to train on the playground. Yu Jingtang took Class E to a simulated training ground.
This simulated training ground was modeled after an old factory building. The items inside were all machine tools and tables and chairs transported from the old factory, completely restoring the scene on a one-to-one basis.
The battle was divided into two groups of students, each fighting against each other. They all use blank cartridges, and if hit, they would be out.
In the end, He Ye’s group was left with only him. He relied on his martial arts skills to snatch a gun, threw his opponent to the ground, and won.
Having won the victory, He Ye was smug.
Yu Jingtang analyzed the various problems in their battle, and finally said to He Ye, “Student No. 238, martial arts are suitable for competition, which is under completely fair and just conditions, but not suitable for actual combat. You are too flashy, which will put yourself in danger. Just like normal people will dodge when they encounter zombies, special forces will think about how to kill with one hit when they encounter zombies, and your subconscious is what kind of punch to produce, this habit needs to change.”
He Ye was unconvinced and said, “Reporting to the instructor, I don’t understand, can you provide actual combat guidance?”
Yu Jingtang glanced at He Ye, “Student No. 238, I didn’t let you speak, deduct two points.” After saying that, he put the stick aside, took off his gloves and said, “I admit that I may not be able to beat you in a fight, but actual combat is completely different. If you want to compare, I can teach you. Other students, rest in place for twenty minutes.” Yu Jingtang knew that He Ye had always been the leader inside, but this kid really had strength. If he could change his bad habits, he would be a promising talent in the future. He was intentionally pointing this out.
Hearing this, He Ye also took off the obstructive protective gear and was eager to step forward. He had long wanted to give Yu Jingtang a show of power. Fighting was his best field. He just liked to defeat his opponents and watch his opponents submit to him. That kind of victory could bring him the greatest pleasure.
Zou Lang saw that these two were going to fight, frowned and pulled He Ye and said, “Don’t.”
He Ye shook him off and gave him the middle finger. “Zou Lang, you bloke, what’s wrong with you,?” There was some confusion in his expression. Usually, Zou Lang scolded the most severely and also made various provocations, but now he was being protective.
Zou Lang was not worried about Yu Jingtang in his heart, but was worried about He Ye. He had seen Yu Jingtang’s skills more than once, and he had also seen He Ye’s. After weighing the two, he estimated that He Ye was likely to lose. He didn’t want him to lose and lose face, but He Ye didn’t appreciate it.
The students all retreated to the side, leaving the entire simulated training ground to the two of them. Seeing that it was unstoppable, Zou Lang had to sit back down.
The two began, He Ye made the first move, directly throwing a punch at Yu Jingtang’s face.
Yu Jingtang dodged He Ye’s attack, swung his hand from the side, and when the fist came close, he changed the punch to a finger, lightly touching He Ye’s neck.
There were two arteries in the neck of a person. If one used the force of a fist to hit it, it could cause shock. Naturally, Yu Jingtang couldn’t let the students get into trouble, he just touched it and stopped.
After one move, the two separated in a staggered manner. This tolerance instead angered He Ye. He felt that Yu Jingtang was deliberately humiliating him. He stepped back and said, “Instructor Yu, I asked for your guidance today. If I die, I will take responsibility for my life and death. Please don’t show mercy.”
Yu Jingtang nodded and said, “Okay, I won’t hold back anymore, come again.”
The two of you came and went, and in a blink of an eye, they dismantled more than a dozen moves.
Although He Ye was brave, Yu Jingtang was more flexible. He dodged in various machine tool ruins, dodged the attack, and then attacked He Ye from tricky angles, obviously taking the upper hand.
He Ye felt that the Yu Jingtang in front of him was like an eel, the more he couldn’t catch it, the more anxious he became. The more anxious he became, the more flaws he revealed. He had been in the fighting arena for so many years since he was a teenager. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation where he had been at a disadvantage.
Yu Jingtang still let him go, he only used fists and feet. Otherwise, there were weapons that could be used everywhere in this place, and He Ye would have been knocked down long ago.
He Ye missed another hit, and Yu Jingtang took the opportunity to give him a kick. He Ye flew out and fell to the ground.
At that moment, Yu Jingtang saw something on the side of the ground, a cold light flashed.
That was a chair that had been damaged in the fight just now. The chair was broken and revealed a long nail on its side. If He Ye rolled to the right, this nail would pierce his head.
Yu Jingtang flashed forward, cushioned with his arm, and the nail instantly pierced his arm, causing him to frown.
From He Ye’s perspective, he couldn’t see all of this at all.
Yu Jingtang had just pulled his hand from the nail, and he felt a heavy blow hitting his body. The whole person was knocked into the air.
He Ye naturally wanted to pursue the victory after a successful hit, and kicked Yu Jingtang heavily again.
Yu Jingtang only felt a bloody smell rushing into his throat. He didn’t want to vomit blood in front of the students. A mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, and he couldn’t even say a word to stop.
At that moment, Yu Jingtang saw a figure rushing over and pressing He Ye to the ground. This stop finally gave him a chance to breathe.
The person who rushed up was Zou Lang. He Ye didn’t see the process in the middle, but Zou Lang could see it clearly from his direction. Seeing Yu Jingtang being hit, his heart almost stopped beating, and he rushed up regardless. In terms of martial arts, three Zou Langs added together may not be able to beat He Ye. But as the saying goes, reckless people are afraid of rough people, and rough people are afraid of people who are desperate for their lives. Zou Lang didn’t care about the rules and gave He Ye a few punches on the face, and all unexpectedly landed.
He Ye was having a good fight with Yu Jingtang, and suddenly Zou Lang rushed up, he was a bit stunned.
Yu Jingtang swallowed the blood in his mouth there, and then shouted, “Stop it!”
Zou Lang looked back at him, seeing that his complexion seemed okay, so he let go of He Ye, pointed at the bloody nail, and said, “The instructor blocked the nail for you, and you turned around and attacked. Are you still human?”
He Ye looked at the nail and understood in his heart, and said to Yu Jingtang with a trembling voice, “I’m sorry, Instructor. I lost.”
Yu Jing Tang covered the wound on his arm with his hand, made a gesture, and stopped the students who came to help him. He tried hard to stand up, took a deep breath and straightened his body. He sorted out the whole thing in his heart, and said loudly, “Student No. 238 did nothing wrong. It was a special situation, you just didn’t know. This is a practical exercise. If you seize the opportunity, you naturally want to give the enemy a heavy blow.”
Then he turned his head to look at Zou Lang, “Number 250, what is the twelfth rule of training?”
Zou Lang lowered his head, “Those who fight will be deducted 30 points and run 10,000 meters.”
Yu Jingtang looked at him, such a public violation, if he protected him, he would never be able to legislate in the future. He said to him, “I will report the points to the leader later to see if they need to be deducted. The punishment for running cannot be avoided.”
Zou Lang looked up at him, his expression complicated, and then turned and ran into the rain.
He Ye felt guilty and said, “Instructor, you should go and bandage it.”
Yu Jingtang’s gaze did not move away from Zou Lang’s figure, and he replied to him, “I’m fine.” His hand fell down, and the blood slid down his fingers and dripped onto the ground.
Having said that, Yu Jingtang knew his situation very well. He was not okay, but very bad.
The body that had been seriously injured before was hit twice by someone again, using all the force without mercy. At this time, his body was in pain like an explosion, and all his internal organs seemed to have been moved by the beating, and it hurt to fall. He was sweating all over, his legs trembling, and he wanted to press his hands on the wound to relieve the pain. But he didn’t want to do this in front of the students. His consciousness had drifted far away, and there was only that one thread left to lead him.
The students looked at the instructor without speaking, and they didn’t know what he was thinking. They could only stand there silently watching this farce, not knowing how to end it.
In addition to the physical discomfort, Yu Jingtang’s heart was also uncomfortable. He knew that Zou Lang was trying to save him. If Zou Lang hadn’t rushed out at that time, he would probably have suffered more than these few hits, but he really couldn’t not punish him. At this time, watching him running in the rain. He wished he could replace him.
Yu Jingtang staggered forward a few steps, until the cold raindrops hit his face, he realized that he was standing in the rain. The rain was heavy, and soon his clothes were soaked through. This coldness brought back a trace of his sanity, but he felt that the pain was drowning him like waves. His ears began to roar. Watching Zou Lang run closer and closer, he suddenly laughed and reached out to him.
Zou Lang just ran a lap and came back, seeing Yu Jingtang also in the rain, he felt very strange in his heart. He was still worried about Yu Jingtang’s body just now. At this time, looking at Yu Jingtang’s face that was usually cold as frost, he actually bloomed with a smile, reaching out to him, suddenly his heart tightened. He hurriedly ran to Yu Jingtang’s side in a few steps.
Yu Jingtang watched Zou Lang run over, and for a moment he was in a daze, as if he felt that he was in a dream, the world did not exist, those zombies did not exist, those students did not exist either.
He looked at Zou Lang, not knowing where he was. For a while, it seemed that he had just resolutely walked out of the hospital, and for a while, it was once again a lonely night on his own. He seemed to have walked through the fatigue of thousands of mountains and rivers, opened his mouth and uttered a few words with difficulty, “Zou Lang…I…miss you…” Then his vision went black, and he fell into Zou Lang’s arms.
