No Time 5 Chapter 5

I'm still 10 years old right now.

It's the weekends and I took all my siblings with me to the warehouse where all my seeds and grains are stored.

I decided to start teaching them martial arts properly starting today.

Ge is already fine and knows a little of the basics but my other siblings are helpless.

I'll also have to teach them how to use guns and other weapons too...

What a lot of stuff to be done...

But, first, I'll see whether they have a certain route they'd like to go through and test out their potential for weapons and martial arts.

Ge seems pretty talented in martial arts but if he has a weapon to go with it, such as a staff, spear, or swords, it would be easier for him to fight zombies. He can try out guns and other weapons too, so I'm going to test him out.

Xiao Lai wants to try out guns and swords like every other boy... Well, I'll give him a shot, no pun intended, and test him out with other weapons too. They'll all have to learn martial arts to properly protect themselves though.

Xiao Bing wants to fight but doesn't know what to choose. She says she wants to look pretty and not let blood get on her. I might give her a whip to try but she can be a sniper too.

In the apocalypse, there are some power users who can make the strongest weapons, so I'll have to try to find one of them soon. If the weapons don't really work for them, I'll make them myself. I used to know some weapon creators after all. Making liquid obsidian strings that can cut through anything is an easy feat for me at least. Maybe I'll give that to Xiao Bing instead...

Anyways, that can only happen during the apocalypse. For now, I'll store the supplies I need for the event and wait patiently. I'll also have to learn how to cook since having gruel to eat every day isn't great.

I guess I'll also need to learn how to make tofu from soybeans and meat patties from vegetables to subst.i.tute for the meat if it ever runs out. I can raise plenty of animals in my s.p.a.ce, but they won't reproduce quickly so knowing how to make subst.i.tute protein is a must.

Yup, well, I'll start testing them now.

Today, Yu Ge brought us out of home at 4 AM. I was still tired but didn't say anything since he looked especially serious today. Well, he's serious all the time but he looked extra serious today.

He brought us to a huge warehouse that he said was his. I wasn't sure if he was telling the truth but then he showed us his bank account... It was a lot of money for a kid...

Yu Ge told us that he was going to teach us martial arts and how to handle weapons. Xiao Bing and I thought he was joking but Jing Ge told us that the method of blocking mom's. .h.i.ts was taught by Yu Ge.

How does he know such things and why does he even try it?

Well, anyhow, Yu Ge told us that something terrible was going to happen 7 years later and that we should all start preparing for it.

I really wonder if he is an alien...

Jing Ge was tested to have a good apt.i.tude for wielding spears and staffs. Yu Ge seemed satisfied with that and wrote down some stuff on his notepad.

I wanted to try out swords so I was tested for it first. Yu Ge said the double sword style suited me fine. I can't wait to try it out!

Xiao Bing wanted to look graceful when she was fighting and not get dirty. Yu Ge a.s.signed her long ranged weapons like the whip and also decided to teach her archery. He said something about obsidian string but does that even exist?

He taught us the very basics of martial arts, strong stances. It was boring but looking at Jing Ge and Xiao Bing who were learning earnestly, I had to suck it up...

When training was over at 11 AM, Jing Ge asked what we would not be able to live without.

Xiao Bing said that she wouldn' be able to live without sweets and chocolate. Typical behavior for a kid.

Jing Ge said that we would need daily supplies like toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, clothes, and a lot of other stuff.

I said that it would be possible to live but boring without electronics. Besides paper maps aren't as accurate as mobile maps these days.

Yu Ge merely nodded seriously as he listened and wrote on his notepad again.

Before we went out of the warehouse, we were reminded to not eat breakfast and lunch from now on. We could eat lunch but only up to the regular amount. He said this was so we could get used to it before the incident 7 years later would occur but is it so serious that we'll have to starve meals? Xiao Bing was worried that she'll grow up to be a little person if she ate so little, but Yu Ge just said that exercise and milk would let us grow tall.

After the reminder, Yu Ge also told me to try learning how to code and hack. When I hesitated and then finally told him that I already knew how to, he didn't look surprised and nodded as if it was expected. What the heck?!

Yu Ge seems to be training us to be spies...

With my high IQ, I'll be the informant and hacker.

Jing Ge would be the fighter who beats up our enemies.

Xiao Bing would be the main spy since she can catch people unguarded with her small age.

And Yu Ge would be our boss?

It's all too weird to imagine. Now, I really want to know what's going to happen 7 years from now on.
