After connecting with Gou, all the car's functions were tested and found to be normal, which allowed Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei to breathe a sigh of relief and feel pleasantly surprised.

They shifted gears, tried moving forward, backward, left, and right, and found that the vehicle drove smoothly without any issues. Since it had no engine and was powered by electricity, it was also very quiet, which felt great.

In the laboratory area of Institute 923, only Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were left, as everyone else was resting in the living quarters.

Lu Xi'an asked the Masked Man and found a notebook computer from the equipment in various rooms, which he brought back to the vehicle.

The motorhome had an induction cooker. Lu Xi'an took a wok outside to fill it with snow, melted it on the induction cooker, poured it into a thermos, and then into Yao Wei's bowl before sitting down to turn on the computer.

The motorhome was brightly lit, but after pulling down the window covers, no light could be seen from outside.

Inside the car, however, they could monitor the outside environment through surveillance.

With both Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei possessing extremely keen senses, they could sense danger in advance even without looking outside, making the feeling even more beautiful when the lights remained unseen by others.

Steam rose from the pot, the bowl, and the cup. Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei sat on the sofa in the motorhome, feeling a slight, soft mist in the light, which was equally beautiful.

They connected the laptop from the lab to a power source and turned it on. This computer was much better than the solar-powered one, quickly skipping the startup screen and entering the desktop.

No password.

The computer had been freshly cleared. Before leaving, the researchers from the old world must have archived all the data and formatted the devices as necessary.

This is why the computer was in such a state.

However, this saved Lu Xi'an a lot of trouble, as he didn't have to bother Gou to crack the password. It was quite good.

Seeing the computer in working condition and better than the solar-powered laptop, Lu Xi'an felt satisfied and said to Yao Wei: "In this case, this laptop can't be left for Luo Ping.

"With this computer, we don't need the solar-powered one. Having to put it under the sun every day is a hassle.

"We might as well keep this one and give that one to Luo Ping. There are many videos in it, all about the old world, which might be helpful to him."

"Hmm."

Yao Wei nodded, thinking Lu Xi'an made a valid point.

Lu Xi'an said, "Then let's transfer all the videos from that computer to this one."

Yao Wei nodded again and said, "Hmm."

The motorhome also had a built-in screen mounted on the ceiling, which could be used like the front central control screen to view the outside surveillance but also could be used for other purposes.

Lu Xi'an tried it out and found a video input interface in the rear compartment. After connecting a game console, the screen could display images.

As a result, they no longer needed the monitor scavenged from the Ox Head County sewage treatment plant, which could be given to Luo Ping.

However, the two only tested it briefly and didn't play any games.

They checked all parts of the vehicle and then sat on the sofa, drinking hot water and reading books.

They carefully read the Type A manual from beginning to end, memorized it thoroughly, and then proceeded to the B-type, Type C, and D-type manuals, reading each one carefully and committing them to memory.

These things would be useful in the future, regardless of whether they could be directly applied to themselves. After reading the manuals, they felt truly inspired and broadened their horizons.

Compared to these, their previous refinement of themselves and control over their bodies was indeed too crude. After reading, they felt amazed at the possibilities.

Indeed, these scientific techniques written specifically for each type of Neo-Humans lived up to their reputation. They were incredibly scientific, making their previous methods seem unscientific by comparison.

After reading all four booklets, the two took out the Type A manual again and started training according to its content, adjusting their force exertion, relaxation, coordination, and body usage details as advised.

As for the remaining three manuals, Lu Xi'an took them outside to Chai Xin and the others, encouraging them to read and learn well.

The Type A manual, after Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei had read it several times and practiced it diligently until they mastered its contents, was also handed over to Tang Er.

Although Tang Er hadn't fully evolved, his physical condition had greatly improved, so this manual should be useful to him.

In any case, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei felt that the Type A manual was quite beneficial to them.

Honestly speaking, when they first started the training, they found it uncomfortable, feeling that each movement was contrary to habits they had developed over a long time.

But as they practiced repeatedly, trying and improving, they began to align more with the manual's descriptions, and they both felt a clear sense of increased strength from their current bodies compared to before.

"Indeed, knowledge is power!"

Feeling the changes within himself, Lu Xi'an sighed with emotion.

"Mm."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement.

The future was long, and the two of them didn't train endlessly. After enduring for two days and one night, when deep night fell, they went to rest.

There was only one bed in the RV, and the two of them didn't squeeze onto it. Yao Wei wanted to give the bed to Lu Xi'an and sleep on the sofa herself, but she eventually couldn't win against Lu Xi'an and obediently went to sleep on the bed.

While the sofa was claimed by Lu Xi'an.

——This was much better than before; it used to be a car seat, but now it was a flat and soft sofa.

The car was equipped with special apocalypse-designed heating, which was more comfortable than the air conditioning transplanted from the villa in Yubei City.

Lu Xi'an lay on the sofa, feeling incredibly good.

——Especially since he had asked Yao Wei for a goodnight kiss before lying down.

It wasn't the intense actions they had outside before, just a simple touch of lips — Yao Wei wasn't willing to do something so intense anymore — but this simple touch felt gentle and warm.

No words were spoken through the night.

The next morning, after waking up, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei got out of the car to have a look outside. The world was still covered in frost, as if the entire world had been frozen, making Lu Xi'an feel like he had returned to the northernmost regions.

It seemed that Luo Ping's return would have to be delayed again.

Lu Xi'an asked the system again, and the Masked Man told him where the kitchen in this place was, so he went over to give it a try.

The kitchen in the living area was always vacant. As Lu Xi'an expected, it was specially reinforced with materials for long-term research under disasters, and its stoves were all powered by electricity and could be used once the power was connected.

Shu came over to have a look and cheerfully said, "I know how to use this, I know how to use this." Then he took on the task of making breakfast.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei left this to Shu and went off to find Tang Er, Liu Hua, and Chai Xin.

They let Tang Er, Liu Hua, and Chai Xin try training as described in the book, and indeed, it was effective.

Although Tang Er's perception power didn't greatly improve without Liu Hua's ability support, his speed and strength were significantly enhanced with the booklet's guidance and standardized actions.

Chai Xin said that Shu secretly tried what was in the book last night too, and it worked well. His disguise had become more proficient, and he could even extend the application of optical camouflage to areas outside his body.

Liu Hua, too; yesterday she could only use her new ability simply, but today she had made significant progress. She could multitask and even distribute different pheromones to different people simultaneously, just like that Neo-Human in Mengxin City.

Moreover, spreading pheromones didn't affect her actions, making her much stronger than that Neo-Human.

According to herself, if she continued to train, she might achieve a silent and unnoticed effect, without it being obvious and giving off a sweaty smell.

Lu Xi'an thought that was pretty impressive. Luckily, the Type C Neo-Humans in this world seemingly didn't understand this.

——Or at least, the ones they've encountered so far didn't know this.

Seeing Liu Hua had reached this level in her training, Lu Xi'an asked a favor from Liu Hua: to use specific negative pheromones on them to train their pheromone resistance.

Chai Xin and Tang Er also joined in, wanting to train together.

At first, there was a rush of pleasure to the top of their heads, followed by a plunge into negativity, wanting even to give up or self-harm, then into rage wanting to wreak havoc, and so on.

Shu finished making breakfast and called everyone to eat together, and then joined in.

The meal he made was cornmeal dumplings, also called rolling wheels. The corn was ground into flour and kneaded into round cakes that resembled wheels, then boiled in water.

These pancakes were smooth and soft, with a bit of sweet corn flavor, and they were paired with cornmeal dissolved into a thick soup, offering a unique taste and a rather pleasant experience.

Previously, Liu Hua and Tang Er as regular people couldn't taste the deliciousness made from this mutated corn, but now, no longer ordinary people, they finally tasted it, and couldn't stop praising it.

After finishing the meal, they continued training, experiencing peaks of elation and slumps of despair, their emotions like riding a roller coaster, up and down, feeling immensely uncomfortable.

After training for half a day, Lu Xi'an called it off. He felt that they should rest; continuing to train like this would significantly reduce the effect, not to mention the impact that such emotional fluctuations could have on their mental health, making it not worth it.

So, they primarily focused on personal training after that, following the booklet's instructions to enhance their abilities. They rested well enough before undergoing another half-day of emotional upheaval.

The severe cold persisted for a few days, and the few of them at Institute 923 trained continuously like this for several days. Under the leadership of Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, not a single moment was wasted by anyone.

By the time Luo Ping returned, they would have all become a different sight to behold.
