Chapter 137 Training and Demands

Li Tianran was very satisfied with the survivors' reactions. These people had struggled in dire straits, experienced the darkest hell, and would naturally cherish the dazzling hope even more.

He did not continue to lecture the survivors. Sometimes, saying too much would ruin the sense of mystery, which was not conducive to building his image in their hearts.

"Take them to wash up and rest." Li Tianran waved at Lu Chi and said, "Tomorrow, I will have Professor Nan compile a complete set of training methods. All those over fourteen years old must participate. Anyone who can't persevere will be eliminated."

Professor Nan had stayed in the army with Miao Yu and had some experience in training recruits.

Almost none of these survivors were over forty years old, and everyone was in decent physical condition.

Because in the long period of hardship, those with poor health, the elderly, and young children did not survive. Later, those who were slightly older and sick actively acted as bait for Lu Chi and died in the hands of the EU's Evolver team. Therefore, 90% of those who survived were young adults.

Li Tianran was using the methods of training new recruits to train them, not to improve their physical fitness, because these people would become Evolvers in the future. This simple physical training was not necessary at all!

What Li Tianran wanted to train was their obedience.

In fact, this kind of training was not too hard on the body, but it had a huge impact on the mind.

Because the instructors would constantly use various methods to wear down your individuality, turning you from an unconstrained wild horse into a warhorse that obeyed orders!

Before training, you and others might feel alienated due to differences in personality, age, and values. But during training, the instructors would use their own methods to turn every maverick individual into the most ordinary and compatible member of the team, allowing you and your comrades to stick together tightly, becoming an unbreakable city wall.

That was the meaning of training.

It was also the most basic form of an army.

If someone couldn't even pass this kind of training, then there was no need for them to become Li Tianran's subordinate.

...

Not far from the farm's castle was a row of temporary housing, with a design close to that of a bed and breakfast. Although it was a bit simple, it did not lack electricity, heating equipment, and living resources. After the survivors were arranged to move in, they were surprised to find that there was even hot water for bathing.

Moreover, the hot water used for bathing was not turbid radiation water, but clear, potable fresh water.

This discovery further strengthened the survivors' determination to follow Li Tianran.

It should be known that fresh water was very scarce for drinking in the outside world now, so who would be extravagant enough to use it for bathing?

Only here could they experience this dreamlike enjoyment!

Having been trapped in a narrow air-raid shelter for nearly half a month, the smell on each survivor was sour and rancid. After washing up, they lay on the bed, wrapped in warm, soft blankets, and many shed tears of happiness.

Tonight, many survivors were destined to not be able to sleep.

Because this happiness came too fantastically, they were afraid that it was a dream, and that when they woke up, everything would disappear...

Just when Li Tianran thought that tonight would be peaceful and uneventful, someone came looking for him.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The castle gate was knocked on, and soon, a blonde woman and Tang Su walked in.

Li Tianran frowned, recognizing the other party as one of the few EU citizens among the survivors.

He did not know that this blonde woman had wanted to kill other survivors in the air-raid shelter before. Lu Chi didn't say it, and he didn't ask.

"I saw her outside the castle. She barged in and insisted on seeing you." Tang Su shrugged. "I couldn't help it."

Li Tianran waved his hand, asking Tang Su to go to the kitchen to make a late-night snack. Then, he sat on the sofa, looking at the blonde woman calmly, and asked in Yanhuang language, "Do you have something to say?"

The blonde woman could understand Yanhuang language. At this time, she walked towards Li Tianran with a negotiating expression on her face. Before Li Tianran could speak, she sat directly on the sofa opposite him and said, "First of all, I am very grateful to you and your subordinates for rescuing me. I am an EU citizen. My name is Katerina... I am an assistant to the EU's diplomat stationed in Kalafor!"

Li Tianran was expressionless and continued to look at her without saying a word.

"I have a few requests for you to consider."

"I request that a helicopter be arranged early tomorrow morning to send me back to the EU. My country will provide you with the expenses for this rescue and escort!"

"Also, I request that independent accommodation be arranged for me tonight. I don't want to continue living with the refugees from Kalafor."

"Finally, I need meat to replenish my lost nutrition. The pasta and rice you arranged are too low in nutritional content." The blonde woman glanced at Tang Su, who was making a late-night snack for Li Tianran in the kitchen, and said, "Is your servant pan-frying steak? Please pan-fry one for me as well. I want it medium-well, with pepper. Thank you!"

The blonde woman's barrage of words immediately made the castle's living room fall silent.

Li Tianran frowned.

Tang Su in the kitchen stared at her coldly.

And Ding Lu and Han Han looked over with strange gazes, feeling that this woman seemed to be seriously ill...

Li Tianran laughed, a laugh of anger.

He couldn't help but sigh, why are there always people in the world who can't recognize the situation?

He wanted to open his mouth and curse this woman until she was covered in blood, but he felt that even cursing her was a waste of saliva.

Perhaps Li Tianran's indifferent attitude made the blonde woman feel a little embarrassed. She seemed to realize something, and her tone became a little serious: "Mr. Li, please understand that I am not a homeless refugee. Behind me stands a powerful country. I can't stay here to work for you and listen to your orders."

The blonde woman's attitude was very serious and upright. It could be seen that she had participated in many negotiations with EU diplomats, and her tone and expression were always condescending and arrogant.

Li Tianran was silent for a moment before finally asking, "What makes you think that I am a very easy-going person? What gave you the courage to sit in front of me and talk to me in this tone?"

The blonde woman raised her eyebrows and raised her chin slightly: "I am an assistant to the EU's diplomat. Our country..."

"Do you know who the enemies Lu Chi killed when he rescued you?" Li Tianran suddenly interrupted the blonde woman and asked with a light smile.

The blonde woman was stunned.

"What he killed was the EU's Evolver team, the elite that your country created with huge resources!" Li Tianran said coldly, "I don't even care about their lives. You, a small assistant to a diplomat, you don't even have the qualifications to talk to me."

"Now stand up, and then... get out."
