In winter, it rarely snows in the city, the sky is always gray, the sun hides behind thick clouds, and the whole city is shrouded in cold air.

In the early morning, when the city had not yet woken up, Zhou Kai ran on the empty streets, with only the occasional speeding car whistling overhead. Surrounded by skyscrapers, looking up from below, this is a forest made of steel and concrete, dense and boundless.

Although the world has been calling for population control and energy conservation, due to the rapid development of science and technology, the improvement of human physical fitness, and the extension of average life expectancy, the total population of the world is about to exceed 15 billion by 2093.

The entire planet is already overwhelmed, and it was predicted decades ago that if the population problem is not solved, the time left for humanity on the planet will soon enter a countdown.

The discovery of the planet "Noah" has given people hope, and after decades of hard work, people are finally about to step out of the earth.

And all this is not important to Zhou Kai, for him "survival" is the most important thing. Not only his own survival, but also the survival of his eldest brother.

He has more than 30 kilograms of sandbags strapped to his body, he has already run almost 10 kilometers, no matter what kind of competition, physical strength can never be lacking, until he finds a better way to train combat skills, he feels that it is absolutely not wrong to improve his physical strength and endurance first.

Sweat kept running down his neck, and he wiped his eyes that were about to be drenched with sweat with the towel hanging from his tactical vest, which was filled with sand, and the soft and strong military fabric protected his skin from abrasions. The sandbags tied to his wrists and calves were completely soaked, and the sand from the absorption made him feel heavier and heavier.

Finally seeing the gate of the base, he slowed down his pace, gradually adjusted and walked towards the base exhausted.

When he was about to reach the gate, he saw a person sneaking into the base, and he didn't need to look carefully to know that it was Zhang Qiang. Since that competition, he and Zhang Qiang have not spoken again, and Zhang Qiang's gang no longer messes with him. He would see Zhang Qiang every morning when he was running, sometimes by himself, sometimes by two or three people. Zhou Kai knew very well what they were doing, and since everyone in the team turned a blind eye, of course he didn't need to be that suspect.

However, he also knew that Kong Xiyuan didn't know all this. In a B-level team like theirs, there are very few full-time instructors, and the captain is usually a part-time captain. This also makes the captain, who is also a team member, not as strict as a full-time instructor in terms of daily life management.

Zhang Qiang was not like this when Zhou Kai first came, maybe he saw that no one could threaten his status, and now he is at a critical moment, so he has been so rampant recently, just like now when they were originally sealed and he dared to sneak out.

But it's none of his business, and Zhou Kai doesn't need to provoke others. Back in the dormitory to take a hot shower, Zhou Kai felt much more relaxed, not only completely recovered from that game, but he also felt that the function of his whole body was better than before, no wonder some people said that occasionally overdrawing physical strength can also stimulate his potential.

Later on Friday, Zhou Kai met Guo Jianhao, and although they lived in the same dormitory, they rarely saw each other since Guo Jianhao became the main force for the training.

Guo Jianhao told him that because there was a game on Sunday, Kong Xiyuan would take a day off tomorrow to let them recover their strength.

Since they won the first two games, Guo Jianhao also won a lot of bonuses, so while he was free today, he insisted on inviting Zhou Kai to drink together at night, and of course there was no shortage of the "know-it-all" Zhou Feiyu.

Zhou Kai and Guo Jianhao have never been to a bar, the other is a newcomer, of course, they are not familiar with the city's bars, and under the leadership of the fat man, they came to the crowded "Reincarnation Space Bar".

Although they didn't go too late, there was still a long queue at the door of the "reincarnation space", maybe because of the weekend, there were too many people in it today, so no matter how close the fat man was to the doorkeeper, that guy always smiled and shook his head, and even if the fat man stuffed money to him, he resolutely refused to accept it.

Just as they walked to the side to discuss a change of place, a flying car slowly stopped at the entrance of the bar. The sharp-eyed fat man recognized Zhang Qiang at a glance, who was the first to get out of the car, even though Zhang Qiang was wearing a pair of sunglasses that almost covered most of his face.

The fat man muttered to himself in a low voice: "When did this kid Zhang Qiang become so rich?" Zhou Kai and Guo Jianhao looked in the direction that the fat man was looking at, and at this time, another person got out of the car, Zhou Kai didn't know him, but it was easy to see from the person's demeanor and dress that this was by no means an ordinary person.

The man was about fifty years old, tall and thin, wearing a pair of antique gold-rimmed glasses, an ancient Tang costume with dark blue printed patterns, and a pair of brass suede flat-capped shoes on his feet, with a soft flat bottom that was two centimeters thick. When he walked around, it could be seen from a flash of light spilling from time to time outside the thin Tang suit that he was equipped with the latest "personal energy cover". The reason why he said it was the latest was because he didn't wear a hat, his half-white hair was very moist and parted to the back, and a pair of heavy eyes glistened under those gold-rimmed glasses.

In the past, whether it was military or civilian, the "personal energy shield" required a helmet or hat, and the energy shield covered the whole body from top to bottom. Zhou Kai also watched the news a few days ago to know the new energy cover, it is only the size of a business card box, it is very convenient to carry around, but the price is amazingly expensive. So seeing a person dressed like this, Zhou Kai didn't have to guess to know that this person would never be an ordinary person.

The man put one hand around Zhang Qiang's shoulder, the two laughed softly, and walked into the door of the "reincarnation space" as the janitor bowed to greet him.

Zhou Kai turned around and saw that Guo Jianhao and the fat man were both frowning, he looked at the two of them suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't you know Chun Yu Mingzheng?" The two looked at him strangely and asked in unison.
