Chapter 1188: Dong Family’s Preparation

Dong Lijia was wearing a sports suit too. Clearly, he was there to work out as well.

“Will there be a big chance to attain a superpower after the apocalypse?” he asked Lin Wenwen.

Lin Wenwen looked at him and said, “The chance won’t be great, but not too small either. At first, you have five percent chance, and in the later period, it will depend on your luck. You’ll still have one percent opportunity though.”

“The later period?” Dong Lijia didn’t understand.

Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “Some people triggered their superpowers not right after the apocalypse. Your sister attained her power in the later period.”

Dong Lijia thought for a moment and said, “So, I’ll have a chance to trigger a superpower as long as I survive?”

Lin Wenwen looked at him silently. According to Dong Xinxin, Dong Lijia died at last. When the apocalypse happened, all her family members survived luckily, and none of them turned into a zombie. However, in the end, they all died to protect her, killed by zombies or other people.

In the early stage after the apocalypse, people could still protect themselves with guns and other hot weapons. But later on, as the possessors of all sorts of superpowers emerged, the weapons grew less useful. One could still kill the ordinary zombies or the zombies at level one with guns, but in a few years after the apocalypse, more and more high-leveled zombies would show up.

Under Lin Wenwen’s suggestion, Dong Lijia purchased quite some weapons. Mr. Dong finally believed the two and started to sell the stocks of his company. The other shareholders thought he had lost his mind.

Mr. Dong had also hired more bodyguards. Apart from the ones he already had, he had added some more from a security company. He had also been purchasing supplies in big batches, and even hired some skillful auto repairmen to secretly modify his vehicles.

It was not difficult to spend all his money within two months. The problem was that the time left for him to prepare for what was going to happen was getting shorter and shorter.

Lin Wenwen picked up a bottle of water and took a sip, then said, “Em, many people triggered superpowers in the later period. In the future that I come from, people haven’t found out what triggers superpowers yet.”

After all, the human bases were basically focusing on their study of zombies.

Dong Lijia stretched herself in the gym and prepared himself, then walked to the door and opened it, “Come in.”

Lin Wenwen turned and saw four men walking in. They were in different heights and shapes, but all had their vibes restrained and gave out a faintly detected ferocity.

With a slight surprise, Lin Wenwen looked at Dong Lijia, then at the four men. Based on their vibes, she immediately figured out that they had all killed people. They were probably retired special force soldiers or mercenaries.

Dong Lijia said to Lin Wenwen, “They are my trainers. My father pulled some strings and hired them. The time is limited, but still, I need to prepare myself as much as I can.”

Lin Wenwen understood what he meant. He wanted to learn some skills to protect himself within that short span of time. After all, in the dangerous and chaotic post-apocalyptic era, some self-protection skills could provide him with a better chance of survival.

“This is my sister, Dong Xinxin,” Dong Lijia introduced Dong Xinxin to the four trainers, “Em, you guys can just ignore her. I’m the one who needs your help.”

Three of the four wore no expression at all. Only a relatively short and slim one had a faint smile on his face. The four of them nodded at Lin Wenwen together. Lin Wenwen responded to them with a nod, then glanced at the smiling guy. She found his smile a little familiar.

But, she was sure that she did not know the guy.

“What will they be teaching you?” Lin Wenwen asked curiously.

Dong Lijia pointed at the two men on the left and said, “These two will teach me how to fight, and those two will teach me how to fire guns.”

Lin Wenwen glanced at the four trainers who had strong vibes, then nodded and stepped back to the door, “Since you guys will be practicing here, I’ll go out and jog in the yard.”

While speaking, she picked up her water bottle and walked out of the gym, noticing the look in the four trainers’ eyes at the same time. The next couple of hours would be their private training time, and they didn’t want anyone else to see their skills. They also felt that the fat girl couldn’t possibly learn their skills, not even if she witnessed their teaching.

After all, some people simply didn’t want to be watched when teaching their students.

Lin Wenwen walked out of the gym with her water bottle and towel to the living room, then exited the building from the back door. One of the two guards outside the door came to her and took over her bottle and towel.

As Lin Wenwen spent a while jogging in the yard and went to the pavilion in the middle to rest, the quiet guard had also prepared a new towel for her, along with cool water in the bottle.

At first, the guard would carry a tray and put the bottle and the towel on it, looking like a waiter. Lin Wenwen couldn’t bear watching that, so she told him not to use the tray, and simply put the things on the stone table in the pavilion.

After two weeks of exercise, Lin Wenwen was now able to keep running for an hour and a half at one go. Every time, she would grit her teeth and force herself to run a little bit longer, not stopping until she was dizzy and her sight was blurred. At first, she would even vomit after the running, which felt awful. She suffered dizziness and strong sweating, and her stomach twitched all the time. That was what would happen when a person who hadn’t exercised for a very long time suddenly did a lot of sports. But, after the first few days, it gradually became easier.

Lin Wenwen would practice fighting when she had time too. The body that she was using now wasn’t hers, but she still had her skills. She remembered the training she had before, and knew how to train herself. She would, of course, grasp every chance to strengthen herself.

While the brother was trained by his hired trainers and the sister was working very hard to lose weight, a few sports cars drove to the gate of Dong Family’s mansion. Deng Chenfei was driving, and Luo Yuanjun was sitting in the front seat. He looked at the gate and said, “How come Dong Lijia isn’t hanging out with us lately? Why is he staying at home all the time?”

Deng Chenfei expressionlessly drove to the gate, then looked at the guard.

The guard knew Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun. Seeing them, he hurriedly opened the electronic gate and let them in.

“Is your Young Master home?” Deng Chenfei asked the guard.

“Yes,” the guard nodded.

Only after confirming that Dong Lijia was at home did Deng Chenfei drive straight in. Some other young boys and girls were sitting in the rest three cars.

“Will he be unhappy that we didn’t warn him before we came here?” In the second car, Qin Jiao looked around while driving.

“Why would he be?” Lin Yuehui smiled, “If he does get unhappy, his two mates will be the ones to take the blame. They suggested we all come here to look for Dong Lijia.”

“Maybe he’s up to something,” Qin Jiao hesitated, “Won’t we be disturbing him by swarming into his place?”

Lin Yuehui gave her a glare and said, “Why are you thinking so much? We’re already here.”

Qin Jiao thought for a moment, then nodded and became excited again.
