Since everyone wants to become stronger, things will be easier.
The small town they passed through this time was the training ground Mingyue prepared for them.
The town doesn't look big, with only three old streets intersecting with each other. The surrounding shops are also very old and look like they have been around for quite some time.
At the moment, the whole town was extremely quiet, with no noisy voices or the roar of cars. A breeze picked up the plastic bag on the ground, making it rustle, which immediately attracted two cat-shaped mutant monsters that surrounded it, pounced on the plastic bag and started biting it.
The team's vehicle stopped at an intersection one kilometer away, with only a few survivors left guarding it. The others were now standing at the entrance of the town.
Mingyue had previously told everyone about her ideas and collected everyone's opinions. Now everyone knew that there would be a fierce battle ahead. Although they were a little scared in their hearts, they couldn't help but reveal excitement on their faces.
After all, Mingyue is very good at making big promises. She says that after her training, everyone can kill monsters and will not be at a disadvantage even when fighting against other people with special powers. Just hearing this makes everyone feel excited and they can't wait to start training immediately.
And then, this is what happened.
Mingyue first pointed out nine people among the survivors, and then looked at Xu Rangchen: "Rangchen, you will take Wang Qiang, Chen Minglei... and the others as a group and walk along the street on the left."
After seeing Xu Rangchen nod in agreement, Mingyue looked at Xu Ciying again and also pointed out nine people: "Ciying, take Liu Yong, Guan Wen... and the others as a group and take the street on the right."
Xu Ciying's flushed face was filled with excitement, and her voice was exceptionally clear and loud: "Okay, Sister Mingyue."
Mingyue smiled encouragingly at her, then looked at the others: "The rest of you, follow me. We will take the straight path in the middle."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Mingyue gave the Xu sisters a few more instructions, telling them not to act recklessly and to run away if they encountered a monster they couldn't handle, or to find someone to make a noise to lure the monster away before separating from them.
The group of people split into three teams and began to explore the town separately.
Compared to the Xu sisters who were surrounded by young and middle-aged men, Mingyue was surrounded by either women or survivors who were slightly older or younger.
In the end times, people like them are also regarded as burdens and easy targets for bullying, so their desire to become stronger is much stronger than others.
Seeing the Xu sisters leading the team to leave, Mingyue turned to look at the detailed team: "Let's go, let's start our journey to become stronger!"
The others all said in unison: "Yes."
Perhaps the sound was too loud, and it attracted more than ten monsters to run towards this side.
As soon as they see a monster coming, some people subconsciously want to find a place to hide, while others want to make some noise to lure the monster away. These are completely subconscious habits.
Wanting to become stronger is one thing, but being scared of monsters is another.
Those monsters that are covered with pus-filled pus, grow extremely large, and don't even feel pain are really scary.
Mingyue nodded and shook her head. She rolled up her sleeves casually, stretched the retractable clothesline she brought from K City to its longest length, and walked slowly through the crowd to the front.
She stuck the clothesline into the ground, and a powerful aura inexplicably emanated from her body, which attracted everyone's attention and made everyone stop running.
They have never been so eager as they are now. They want to become stronger, as strong as their leader. The monsters can't sense any aura. They only know to move towards the place where there is sound, to tear up the objects that make sounds, and to know that humans taste delicious.
So the monsters all ran towards the bright moon.
Mingyue turned her head to look at the others, her delicate profile drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and said in a cold voice: "Look, they are actually not that scary."
After saying that, the clothesline began to spin and dance in her hand, and each blow of the pole hit the monsters, causing them to make gurgling sounds and large drops of saliva fell to the ground.
However, Mingyue explained to the others while beating them: "The monster's weak spot is its head, but if you can't hit it, you can also hit the side of its neck, or its eyes, or its heart. After they slow down, it will be easy to attack their heads."
Originally, everyone else was very nervous, but now they inexplicably felt relaxed, and it felt like they were watching a game commentary about fighting monsters. They even wanted to try it themselves.
After Mingyue consumed a wave of monsters, he did not kill them completely. Instead, he retreated and handed the clothes drying pole to Duo Ruyun who was standing in the front, and said calmly: "You go and try?"
Duo Ruyun was stunned for a moment, looked at the monsters that were moving slowly, then looked at Mingyue, and finally took the clothesline with shaking hands and nodded heavily.
But when she faced those monsters head on, she found that the feeling was completely different from when she was just watching them. The monsters were so scary, really so scary.
Duo Ruyun was almost frightened silly. She didn't even dare to move while holding the clothesline. She and Moti attacked the monsters.
Those monsters felt no pain, and although they moved slowly, they tried their best to attack Duo Ruyun.
Seeing that a monster was about to bite off Duo Ruyun's throat, Mingyue frowned and ran forward quickly, kicking the monster in the head with anger, actually blowing its head off.
The monster fell to the ground with a loud bang, and its black and green brain matter was scattered all over the ground.
The survivors who were watching felt a chill in their hearts, and some of the timid ones even got goose bumps.
Mingyue looked at the dirty shoes, turned away with some disgust, then looked at Duo Ruyun, and her voice suddenly became a little stern: "Keep going, if you get distracted again next time, it might not be a monster that dies."
Duo Ruyun shuddered, her lips trembling several times before she uttered a soft syllable: "But, I'm afraid."
"Scared? How scary can it be? Is it as scary as when those men ripped your clothes off? Not every time someone will come to save you, Duo Ruyun, you have to learn to save yourself." Mingyue's face showed no emotion at all, she just ordered coldly: "Go, kill those monsters. If you can kill these monsters today, you can kill those who try to insult you tomorrow."
Thinking of the despair of having her clothes torn by Zhang Hao and the helplessness of having no one to save her, Duo Ruyun suddenly felt a surge of rage in her heart.
Now all the anger turned into strength in her hands. She gripped the clothesline tightly and walked towards the monsters.
She didn't want to let others decide her fate anymore.
She is not afraid.
