In the training ground, Ethan was no match for Carl even though he tried his best, and ended his first challenge under the scorching heat of Carl's back-to-back throwing and flame sword skills.

Ethan sat on the ground, silently took out the dog skin plaster and pasted it on the injured area, the warm medicinal power spread from the patch to the whole body, and the pain disappeared little by little with the dispersion of the medicinal power.

Carl's injuries were not serious, and he could be healed by the system's accelerated self-healing, so he sat cross-legged across from Ethan, took out the mint herb and chewed it piece by piece.

Ethan was not a talker, and Carl was equally silent, so the two sat facing each other, waiting for their form to return.

Athera crossed her hands and muttered quietly, "What two weirdos." ”

Kevin smiled and said to Athera, "Athera, let's practice too." ”

"Okay, come on!" Ashera grinned.

After watching the battle of the system warrior in Vault 1724, she also had a little itchy hands.

"Tap." Kevin scratched his head and said as if begging for mercy.

After the Cockscomb incident, the Vault began to recover and dispose of the remains of the Robot. The remains of the stellar machine, which had been burned for several days, had been reduced to a lump of iron, making recovery even more difficult. In addition, there are some intelligent machine remnants and damaged firearms that need to be repaired. As a result, it will take a while for the Vault to digest the loot.

During this time, the combat teams stopped their regular outings and spent a week resting and training in shelters.

During the seven days of the training week, Ethan was like a 24-hour machine, waking up first thing every day to go to the training ground, and every night, almost always being carried back to the dormitory because of exhaustion and fainting.

Kevin, Carl and others advised him to do what he could. But Ethan's stubbornness is engraved in his genes, and as long as it is something he believes in, no one can reverse it unless he changes his mind.

When Ethan was level 7, the experience gained from each battle with Carl increased from 9-12 points to 14-16 points, and sure enough, as the level increased, the difference in strength between the two sides became smaller, and the experience points that could be obtained in each battle became more.

However, perhaps for this reason, the hundreds of battles that followed did not allow him to learn any new skills from Carl through the nature of his elementary learning.

In the past seven days, the strength of everyone in the shelter has improved to a certain extent. In terms of system warriors, Kevin and Carl, whose levels have been stagnant for a long time, have been upgraded by one level, and their levels have been raised to level 26 and 24 respectively. Ethan's progress is even more obvious, during this time, he has continued to level up, and Carl, who has been training with him, can feel new changes from him every day, and almost every day he has become stronger than yesterday.

At the end of the training week, Ethan's level had just increased to level 12, and his stats had changed a lot:

As for the combat team, the mechanics used the two intact intelligent machine torjections and the parts on hand to create two small mechs that could be piloted by the combat team members overnight. One is named Ant and the other is Butterfly, and both mechs are from Anna, the only mechanic in the Vault.

Anna is a genuine mechanic who passed the league assessment and got the mechanic C certificate. The smelting and forging skills are excellent, and as far as her craftsmanship is concerned, it is completely enough to undertake some small orders to the outside world, provided that there is a demand for orders.

The Ant mech, painted A001 on the front, was lost to the newly formed Fifth Operations Group, and the other Butterfly Mech was given to Carl's Third Team. Caroline's explanation was that Ethan's level was too low and he needed to be protected by equipment. Carl is positioned as a storm, and he also needs a mecha with sufficient firepower to escort him.

Kevin and Athera protested, while Caroline reassured that new equipment would be prioritized for groups 1 and 2 in the future.

Anna, who is a forger, simply teaches the basic driving methods to the members of the two teams, and then impatiently returns to her work.

"Figure it out for yourself, come back to me when the machine breaks." With her oil-stained coat tied around her waist, Anna raised her hand impatiently and left the training ground.

Although Christina, Adeline and others were born and raised in shelters around the world since they were children, not everyone has the opportunity to learn to fly mechs. In desperation, everyone had to ask Dora, who has driving experience.

With this kind of new and fun thing, Dora naturally will not refuse. For this reason, Dora gave up her job at the central control center and came to the training ground to coach everyone.

A mech is wheeled on until the battery dies, and the average person can have an hour or two of training time per day. From beginner slow walking, fast running, jumping, to advanced boxing, rolling, and even fighting, driving mechs is easy to get started, but mastering it is difficult.

It wasn't until the end of the training week that Christina, Crarence, and Jean in the fifth group barely learned the basics of turning on and off, walking, crouching, and blocking. Adeline is the only one who can do some advanced movements such as squatting when punching and running and stopping, although she is not yet proficient, but judging from her performance in the past few days, Adeline is obviously more qualified than others for the position of mecha master. So Adeline has more mech-division tasks in addition to the Demoman's positioning.
