Chapter 374: Chapter 372: In-House Training

Ye Qing stretched out his hand to pull the rope and checked its load-bearing capacity, “I’ll go down and check below and above.”

“Below and above?” Song Qian glanced at the pitch-dark outside, puzzled, “You’re not thinking of going to see if there are any fallen or injured animals, are you?”

Ye Qing nodded, “Yes, I’m planning on that.”

The mutated animals nowadays are all very large; finding just one could feed a group of people for a day or two.

Even if nothing is found, checking the terrain is better than staying indoors.

As for going above, it’s more about seeing if the walkie-talkie signal can be restored somewhat.

“Be careful then, let us know once you’ve landed safely,” said Song Qian, as he picked up a helmet and handed it over, “The meteor shower may have stopped, but be cautious of falling debris above.”

“Alright.” After speaking, Ye Qing put on the Snow Goggles, adjusted his mask, and gripping the climbing rope in his wrist, slid down agilely.

“My goodness!” The remaining people exclaimed in awe, “That’s really impressive.”

Song Qian was also secretly taken aback.

After all, the other end of the rope was dangling in midair, not fixed to anything.

Such rapid descent tested one’s balance and wrist strength.

“Thump!” A soft landing sound came from below.

“Brother Song, it’s safe below.” Ye Qing’s voice came from below.

“Okay.” After responding, Song Qian instructed Qin Lang, “Stay here and keep watch, and inform us immediately if Ye Qing needs anything.”

“Okay.” Qin Lang stepped forward, took out a telescope, and looked downwards.

In the hazy black fog, Ye Qing began walking further away.

“Incredible, is this the real strength of Evolved People?” one warrior marveled, “Going down is hard enough, let alone coming back up, it might be even harder than ascending to heaven!”

“I heard that after they leave the lab, they all have to go through brutal training,” another warrior joined in.

“I also heard that the genes of the Evolved People are modified, and it seems their lifespans are not very long, living no more than thirty years. Alas, every gain has its loss…”

Song Qian glanced at the warriors, his face slightly stern, “Do you all have too much free time?”

The crowd fell silent, “Captain Song, no, not at all…”

Song Haitao came out and said to Song Qian, “Little Song, we don’t know when this black blizzard will end. Since we’re safe for now and have mostly explored Area AS, why don’t we start rigorous internal training from tomorrow?”

When people have free time, they tend to overthink.

Not to mention getting physically fit; such arrangements would get everyone moving.

“Training?” The warriors who were chatting earlier were stunned.

Song Qian nodded, “Prepare for battle unrelentingly, train troops without rest. Doctor, I agree with your suggestion.”

After speaking, he glanced around, “It won’t all be combat training. Since we’ve now formed a squad, our training won’t just be limited to fighting; we could also have Dr. Song and others share some knowledge, and even ask Doctor Lin to share some first aid knowledge.”

“Yes, exactly.” Song Haitao’s face showed a gracious smile, “I suggest having a fixed training schedule every day. Besides that, everyone can participate and share what they’re good at.”

Upon hearing this, Su Dai excitedly raised her hand, “Dr. Song, I used to be a fitness trainer, can I teach everyone some basic core training?”

“That’s possible,” nodded Song Haitao.

A warrior raised his hand:

“Dr. Song, with boxing and shooting, Captain Song and the others are strong, I wouldn’t dare show off my axe before experts. I used to read a novel over and over at the base until I could recite it by heart; can I share the content of the novel with everyone?”

Song Haitao smiled, “Of course.”

As soon as everyone heard this, their desire to share suddenly arose, and each one was eager, thinking about what they could contribute.

Qin Lang strode forward, “Brother Song, Ye Qing asked for the ice drilling machine to be sent down.”

“I’ll get it.” Sun Jingtao, who had just returned inside, turned around without even asking.

“What does he need the ice drilling machine for?” Song Qian eyed him.

“Ye Qing said, there seems to be running water under the ice below, it might be possible to ice fish,” Ye Qing said cheerfully.
