After spending two days’ effort, all seven water towers were fully installed. 

Three were allocated to 1803, while Jiang Ning and Huo Yishi each had two. Just turning on the taps made them usable. 

Jiang Ning used space water, but still went through the motions every day. 

Unbeknownst to them, two months had passed since the flooding. The second batch of hydroponic vegetables had been planted, and Xiao Bai seemed pregnant again. The first litter of rabbits had grown to over a kilogram. 

Zheng Weili was restless; once her injuries were almost healed, she frequently went out. 

Jiang Ning grew lazier and lazier. She always procrastinates and keep on lying down with all her body. 
 

Huo Yishen, who had been operating like a machine without rest, also took a break. Aside from the daily dog training sessions, he would spare two hours to spar with Jiang Ning and followed by cooking lessons. 

He was impeccable in other aspects, but he really had no talent for cooking. Under Jiang Ning’s guidance, he managed to produce meals that were passable but not really delicious. 

“Not bad, congratulations on graduating.” 

Though it was quite underhanded, Jiang Ning really wanted to enjoy her food alone. 

There were plenty of delicacies stored in her space, but she couldn’t take them out in front of Huo Yishen. 

Huo Yishen had nothing to say in return, so he handed her a walkie talkie and said, “You can contact me if you have any questions in the future.” 

Jiang Ning was stunned; why hadn’t she thought of stocking these? 

Perhaps she hadn’t anticipated that one day she would form a team with anyone. 

“Thank you.” This was much more convenient. With this, she could communicate without having to run around knocking on doors. 

Huo Yishen didn’t stay longer; Jiang Ning and Coke had a hearty barbecue and drank some alcohol, feeling extremely satisfied. 

In the morning, the walkie talkie emitted a crackling sound, followed by a voice from next door, “Jiang Ning, are you teaching Doudou today?” 

“Yes, around ten o’clock.” 

“Why don’t you come over?” Huo Yishen suggested, “While you give Doudou her tasks, I can teach you some detection and penetration techniques.” 

Detection and penetration techniques are serious killing methods, especially the silent ones, such as neck-breaking, throat-punching, neck-twisting, lunging, and neck-slashing. 

Yes, Even one of America’s most famous techniques is kneeling on the neck, where one can’t breathe!” 

That was the essence of detection and penetration techniques. 

Jiang Ning suddenly became interested. Considering they couldn’t really practice in their living room, she readily agreed, “Okay.” 

Detection and penetration techniques. Involved close combat, physical contact and grappling. 

Huo Yishen laid down a mat for protection. The first move was the neck twisting Jiang Ning had seen that day. 

“He stood behind Jiang Ning and suddenly approached her like lightning. One hand reached for her fair and slender neck, and the other touched the side of her jaw… 

The fierce momentum came, and Jiang Ning subconsciously wanted to resist, but he didn’t know how close he was to her body. She held her neck and the side of her jaw firmly with both hands on her hip. With just one push, her head could be moved immediately.” 

A sense of crisis instantly plunged Jiang Ning into her memories of previous life. She couldn’t die at the hands of those cannibals. 

Just as she was about to strike back, a voice came from above her head, “Jiang Ning, don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.” 

Steady, deep, yet powerful. 

Jiang Ning shook off her confused consciousness and realized Huo Yishen was touching the bones of her neck. “Focus, don’t let your mind wander.” 

The memories of the apocalypse were too brutal; even though everything had started again, she still resisted the physical contact with men. 

Jiang Ning took deep breaths, reminding herself not to confuse time and space. What she was doing now was improving herself. 

Only by becoming stronger could she prevent anyone from bullying her. 

Huo Yishen had noticed Jiang Ning’s unusual behavior last time; he promptly withdrew his hand. “I didn’t mean to offend.” 

“Sorry, it’s my own issue.” 

Jiang Ning adjusted herself and forced a stiff smile. “Let’s try again.” 

Shuffling the cards gain, everything felt different. 

Huo Yishen began again, touching her neck and explaining the joints and points of force. 

He did twist her neck a bit but didn’t apply much force. 

After teaching the key points, they switched positions. However, Huo Yishen was too tall, making it seem like a dream to twist his neck. 

Jiang Ning was 167 cm tall, not short, but Huo Yishi looked nearly 190 cm tall, a head taller. 

Huo Yishen sat on a folding stool. “Let’s begin.” 

This was Jiang Ning’s first time touching a man, and she did so quite carefully. 

Her fingers slid over his neck bones. “Here?” 

Not quite right; Huo Yishen grabbed her hand and moved it slightly to the side. “Hmm.” 

His jawline was sharp and she can easily grasp them; she used both hands simultaneously. 

Jiang Ning, with a medical background and after overcoming psychological barriers, twisted Huo Yishen’s neck for half an hour. 

When Doudou finished her homework and opened the door, Coke jumped out. 

Seeing the poop scooper twisting the instructor’s neck playfully, it suddenly got playful too, “Woof!” 

It pounced and pushed Huo Yishen with force. 

Poop scooper, hurry up, come and twist its neck. 

“Can you twist a dog’s neck?” 

“Yes.” 

As the dog kept causing trouble, the lesson couldn’t continue. Huo Yishen squatted down to touch the dog’s neck. 

Coke was very alert and sensed his ill intentions, instinctively baring its teeth. 

Huo Yishen put on a stern face and gave a command, “Attention.” 

Coke stopped playing and attentively got into position. 

But its body was resistant. 

But when Jiang Ning touched it, its body became as soft as a puddle, its tongue hanging out, leaning against her. 

Come on, poop scooper, hurry up! 

This dog kept on causing trouble. Jiang Ning took it to isolation in 1803. 

The dog was important, but she also had to seize every moment to improve. 

Now in the apocalypse, whether it was the people in the building or the survivors outside, countless people were becoming more and more demonic in the harsh environment. 

She wanted to survive, so she had to be ahead of them. 

The lesson continued, and Jiang Ning quickly learned how to twist necks in various positions. 

Her understanding was high and quickly applied what she learned to different scenarios. 

After bringing Coke back from 1803, Jiang Ning had a simple meal of fried noodles, sitting on the sofa and carefully studying the human skeletal structure diagram. 

Which part of the skeleton, if hit, would instantly kill? 

Which acupoint, if struck, would make the body weak and powerless in a short time? 

These were all deadly moves! 

“Woof!” 

Jiang Ning snapped out of it, only to find Coke throwing a tantrum, refusing to eat its dog food and even turning its butt towards her. 

“Oh, who made my Coke angry?” 

Setting aside her medical book, she came over to comfort the dog, “My Coke is the cutest.” 

Humph, it turned its head away, ignoring her. 

After petting its head for a while, she took out a braised chicken leg to coax it. Only then did Coke forgive her and lean it’s neck over. 

Come on, let’s continue twisting. 

Jiang Ning finally understood what had upset it. 

It really was a jealous dog. 

“Coke, no matter who I encounter or how I get along with them, you will always be the most important one in my heart.” 

As an insecure dog, Coke seemed to understand and blinked, putting its paws on her hand. 

Such a warm dog; she rewarded it with a sausage. 

In the afternoon, Huo Yishen trained Coke for four hours, with various biting and scratching exercises, and increased the stair running to 80 rounds. 

After training, the dog collapsed in its doghouse, exhausted. 

Having thoroughly studied the human skeletal structure and acupoints, and then learning the detection penetration techniques with Huo Yishen, it felt like a piece of cake. 

Huo Yishen was extremely surprised; he had never seen someone with such a high aptitude. 

In just a few days, she had mastered everything, and she even used an unexpected move during sparring, making it difficult for him to concentrate. 

Huo Yishen didn’t hold back; he not only taught detection penetration techniques but also close combat and other types of combat. 

Especially in close combat, the two twisted and tangled on the non slip mat, entwined like a mess that was hard to unravel. 

This was a battle; both had strong and competitive personalities, seeming like they wanted to defeat each other. 

A pair of dog eyes stared closely from the side. As soon as Jiang Ning fell behind, it would jump up to help. 

Doudou was anxious, “Brother, sister, stop fighting.” 

She liked both her brother and her sister. Which one should she help? 

In the end, Doudou pulled Coke away and didn’t let go. 

“Woof!” 

Let it go! 

Seeing the poop scooper being pinned down by Huo Yishen, Coke showed it’s teeth, looking fierce. 

Let go, it wanted to attack him! 

Doudou couldn’t hold it back, and Coke pounced on him…
