My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

In the open space, the patrol members' minds were still replaying Luo Zhe's demonstration, their eyes burning with intensity.

Just now, Luo Zhe, with the strength of an ordinary first-level Awakener, wielding an iron rod, shattered a boulder into pieces in one fell swoop.

When did awakening at the first level become so terrifyingly destructive?

They didn't doubt Luo Zhe's words, because Iron-Faced Luo had just demonstrated his full power, and compared to that, splitting a boulder was indeed a huge limitation.

"Through training, a person can fully utilize their combat power, while mastering more advanced transportation skills can unleash strength far exceeding their own capabilities."

"We call these transportation techniques combat skills."

The patrol members' eyes were fixed intently.

Transportation skills and combat techniques were things they had never even heard of before. In an instant, it was as if a new world had opened up for them, and even their breathing became heavy.

"What I just used was a combat technique, Heavy Slash."

Luo Zhe, holding a steel rod, slowed down his movements. "Learning combat techniques is not easy. The first thing you need to do is to master these movements. Even if you can't truly master the combat techniques after you've mastered them, it will still greatly help improve your combat power."

These movements, when viewed individually, seem awkward, but when performed in a short period of time and strung together, they possess an indescribable beauty.

Fluid, natural, and incredibly powerful!

They began to try to imitate these movements, and although it was difficult, they all persevered with all their might.

They never expected to come into contact with combat skills and even have the opportunity to learn them. The benefits of joining the patrol team were far beyond their expectations. These people all felt extremely fortunate. If they hadn't joined the patrol team, wouldn't they have missed out on the combat skills? They thought that if those awakened individuals who hadn't joined the patrol team knew about this, they would probably be devastated.

Of course, they wouldn't say it; it was a secret belonging to the patrol team, but they would feel excited just thinking about it occasionally.

aside.

Luo Zhe watched as they corrected their movements, and couldn't help but nod.

Heavy Slash is a basic combat skill, but as a universal combat skill for warriors, it has a wide range of applications. Including the preliminary steps, it was a required skill for every soldier in the cities he had served in before.

Although these people lack basic skills, and some of them are even obviously inexperienced in combat, they know how to work hard and are still promising talents.

Since that's the case, Luo Zhe thought for a moment, then released his aura, pressing down on the group.

The patrol team members, who were struggling to get into position, turned pale and almost collapsed. But under such immense pressure, their movements, which they had been struggling to get right before, suddenly became much more accurate.

…………

After lunch, Peng Bo rubbed his bloated belly and let out a satisfied burp.

The morning training was very intense, especially since Captain Luo's external terrain training fell on him more, resulting in greater energy expenditure. In just one lunch break, his appetite increased dramatically.

Peng Bo was overjoyed!

Hard work? What's that? His only hobby is eating, and his biggest hobby is eating more.

After the intense exertion this morning, his appetite suddenly exceeded his limit. In the past, he was either not full or, although he was full, he didn't actually exert much energy, so his appetite was about the same as that of an average foodie. Only at noon today did his true capacity come into play.

He surged ahead, leaving the other members of the patrol far behind; even the awakened ones were no match for him.

Upon hearing that there was a special event in the afternoon, Peng Bo arrived early.

He was clearly not the only one with this idea. Although Captain Luo gave them some rest time, all the members of the patrol team gradually came to this open space and began to practice those strange postures.

"Captain Luo is here!"

Someone called out, and Peng Bo turned around from his awkward position to see Captain Luo carrying a huge box towards him.

The box was huge and incredibly heavy; when it was placed on the ground, it made a loud thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"This is?"

The box was opened.

Peng Bo's eyes widened. Inside were sets of brand-new equipment, including swords, guns, and a full set of black striped combat clothing.

Luo Zhe pointed to the equipment, "This is one of the benefits of the patrol team, a full set of equipment prepared for you."

Peng Bo's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up a gleaming silver longsword and slashed it casually.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound came, and Peng Bo could hardly feel any resistance from the sword. He staggered, and with a whoosh, the longsword struck a large rock beside him, with half of the blade already embedded in the rock.

"hiss--"

Not only Peng Bo, but all the other patrol members gasped in shock. They could see clearly that Peng Bo hadn't used much force at all, and in the end, he hadn't even been able to stand properly. The force was just the force of a person swaying, not much at all, but with that little force, more than half of the sword had already penetrated into the rock.

Someone tried touching the hilt and pushed it with a little force, and the entire sword was completely embedded in the rock, leaving only the hilt.

Patrol team members: "..."

This weapon is too brutal! They've never seen such a sharp weapon before!

Why are most Awakened Ones no match for demonic beasts of the same level? Besides their own lack of combat skills, the biggest factor is their weapons! The melee weapons used by Awakened Ones sometimes barely penetrate the demonic beasts, so how could they possibly be a match for them?

Even high-quality cold weapons forged using modern techniques aren't this sharp. It might be fine against ordinary demonized beasts, but against double or triple-layered ones, it would probably take a lot of effort to break through their defenses.

They knew that the shelter would distribute weapons after they joined the patrol team, but no one expected that these weapons would be so sharp that they could be considered divine weapons!

The patrol members were all lost in their fantasies.

With such weapons, they could easily pierce the scales or fur of the demonized beasts and kill them, which would make things much simpler!

Everyone looked excited.

No wonder I've seen Director Tang wearing a black combat suit, and no wonder Captain Luo always wears heavy armor. Some people couldn't understand it before, but now they realize that this is equipment truly suitable for the apocalypse, and it's really powerful!

They were relieved.

The patrol team's duty was to deal with the mutated beasts. They were initially quite nervous and worried, but now, with this equipment, they were no longer prey when facing the mutated beasts...

Rather, it's a hunter!

Everyone happily changed into their gear, and the comfort and ease of movement they felt after putting on their combat suits filled them with joy.

What they didn't know was that this was just the most basic model of equipment.

After the group assembled, Luo Zhe nodded. "You have ten minutes to familiarize yourselves with your equipment. After that, come with me outside to fight against the mutated beasts. That will be the training session this afternoon."

…………

Outside the shelter, the gate of the former resort.

All members of the patrol team wore black striped combat uniforms, with swords at their waists and rifles on their backs. This uniformity boosted the morale and spirit of the patrol team members significantly.

What used to be just ordinary shelter combat personnel has now been elevated to the level of elite soldiers in large shelters.

Luo Zhe's target this time was the county town, which was more than ten kilometers away.

The county town was quite large and contained a lot of supplies. He had been there a few times before, but due to a shortage of manpower, he couldn't bring back much. This patrol team's combat training was also their first mission outside the county, so Luo Zhe specifically requested a small truck to carry more supplies.

The procession moved slowly, each person's face showing both alertness and excitement.

Every patrol member had experience surviving in the post-apocalyptic wilderness, but this time was different. Before, they tried every means to avoid the mutated beasts, but this time, they had to take the initiative and find them.

I was both nervous and excited.
