Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After planning the schedule, Su Li clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention to herself.

"Alright, this time we'll be fighting in the water, so swimming ability is a must. Mingyu, can you swim?"

During the previous psychological counseling session, Su Li started calling Mingyu by her name. She doesn't plan to change it now; it just sounds more intimate.

"No. I can't swim." Song Mingyu shook her head.

"Then let's postpone our journey for today and train in swimming and underwater combat. I remember Ivan can't swim either, so I'll take Ivan with me, Sophia, you take Mingyu. Everyone, put on your diving suits, let's go into the sea."

Zuli arrived at the workshop and made four diving suits using resin and copper ingots, and oxygen cylinders using plastic and silver ingots.

They wore wetsuits underneath their own gear. Then each of them had two oxygen tanks.

The homemade oxygen generator provided by Zheng Hongyuan already took into account the need to refill oxygen cylinders.

After filling the oxygen cylinders with gas, Su Li and the others carried the cylinders on their backs, put on goggles, bit the oxygen tubes, and went to the disinfection room.

After slowly synchronizing with the external air pressure, Ivan was the first to adapt. As expected of a pillar-type guardian, he had high resistance to all kinds of things.

Next was Zurich. Then came Sophia. Song Mingyu took a few deep breaths before adjusting to the air pressure. It perfectly matched the stereotypes about different professions.

Seeing this situation, Su Li didn't have a good solution. [Mingyu has eaten far less of the secret food than us, and her cultivation level is also lower. Not to mention she's a physically weak magic-based class.]

Once everyone had gotten used to it, Su Li went into the water first. She didn't need to warm up; her magic energy circulated throughout her body, and she was warmed up.

The water temperature was quite suitable, perhaps because of the scorching sun.

After Zurich entered the water, it was Sofia's turn. These two were the only two in the group who could swim.

The water where they were located was shallow, only about 2 meters deep. It was perfect for them to practice swimming and underwater combat.

After Sofia went into the water, the little guy just crashed into the water like a Filipino diver.

Su Li didn't know why this guy was so reckless. Didn't he say he couldn't swim?

But Kid Bro is still Kid Bro. After entering, he didn't panic at all. With a burst of magic energy, he fell to the bottom of the water like a weight. When Su Li dived down to look at him, the little brother was standing on the seabed, looking up at her with his eyes blinking, looking incredibly well-behaved.

"Well done, buddy. You can't swim, but you can walk on the seabed. No wonder you're not flustered."

Zurich dived down and first observed the situation on the seabed.

The seabed in this area is covered in yellowish silt. When you step into it, the silt reaches up to your ankles before you can even feel the texture of stepping on something hard. Looking around, all you see is yellow silt and empty seawater. If this were on land, it would be a barren desert. At a glance, there's no sign of life.

Su Li first got used to swimming on her own, then swam over to Ivan, reached out and took the little boy's hand, and began to teach him how to swim.

Calm and composed, with strong physical abilities and enhanced comprehension, this group of people learned quickly and efficiently. Before long, the little brother was able to swim on his own.

Su Li looked towards Sophia's side. Song Mingyu was also imitating her quite well, but when she got wet, she looked terrible. Compared to Sophia, she was really...

Sophia, who was extremely sensitive to gazes, instantly turned to look at Su Li, startling Su Li.

Sophia pursed her lips, glanced at the swaying slime, then at her own steamed bun, and let out a purring sound like a cat.

Sensing that Sophia was in a bad mood, Su Li quickly took her little brother to the deeper parts of the ocean.

They walked for a distance, reaching a depth of 4 meters on the seabed. As they descended, Su Li actually felt a little more comfortable, because the water pressure counteracted the pressure inside his body, making him feel less uncomfortable.

Arriving at an open space, Zuli and Ivan tried out their various skills together.

Underwater, skills can be used freely, but the movements will be hindered by the water, and the power will be weakened. Su Li and the others need to get used to it in advance so that they are aware of the risks.

Su Li first tried out a few of her skills.

Magic Charge became Magic Jog, Explosive Kick became a normal kick, and Magic Slash became a slow slash. The resistance of the water slowed down the speed of all his moves, requiring him to overcome the water's resistance to fight.

Moreover, the seabed contains a large amount of silt, which makes it difficult to gain leverage in combat, and the large amount of mud and sand kicked up when moving will obstruct visibility.

After testing these basic skills and gaining a clear understanding of them, Su Li then tested her Ice and Fire Sword.

When the fire sword is released, there should be a lot of crimson flames on the sword, but now there is only a red light, and the water around the sword is bubbling and boiling.

The fire sword was transformed into a boiling water sword.

Looking at the gurgling fire sword, Su Li couldn't help but think to herself, "What is this? If Pokémon's Fire Punch turns into boiling water, will it even increase my power by 5 points?"

Using the ice sword again would be even more difficult.

Once the ice sword is used, the greatsword instantly turns into an ice pop, changing from slashing damage to blunt damage. The killing power is greatly reduced, and it is also more difficult to swing.

The ice spikes thrown by the ice sword consumed less energy. However, the ice element was constantly diluted by water, and the farther the ice spikes went, the larger their volume became and the lower their kinetic energy, resulting in less damage.

It's frustrating. I just changed my class to a magic warrior, and now I have to go back to hacking people away with a cleaver.

After confirming the skill's effect, Su Li levitated in the water and continued using the skill. This time it was even more difficult. On the seabed, she could still borrow a little strength from it, but in the water, Su Li unleashed a full-force Magic Slash, slashing horizontally. The power was weaker, and the inertia caused her to spin around.

Ivan is fine; the aura, shield, and healing effects don't affect him. He just needs to get used to the force-dissipating technique he's been practicing. Also, his shield skill has a limitation: he must slam the shield into the ground to absorb dirt and create a shield wall.

Su Li and her companion, both melee fighters, need to practice their water-walking and combat skills to adapt to underwater warfare.

The other two girls were much simpler.

Song Mingyu is a magic-based character, so fighting in water has no effect on her. The only thing affected is her fingertip technique, which releases sharp energy, and its power is reduced by about 20%.

Sofia was more affected.

First of all, her old-fashioned rifle was useless. It wouldn't fire once it was in the water. Ordinary bullets lost momentum after only a few meters due to water resistance.

Enchanted bullets retain some of their original power, but their range is reduced by half.

Sophia possesses six enchantments: wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, and metal. Fire enchantments are completely ineffective. Thunder enchantments can easily damage teammates. The other enchantments have little impact.

Forced into a corner, Sofia had no choice but to retrieve her bayonet and attach it to Mengjian.

In the dream, the weapon is a named piece of equipment with its own unique magazine, capable of holding 30 rounds at a time. The user can adjust the firing order according to their preference. Thanks to space technology, the magazine is completely waterproof.

In addition to combat capabilities, Su Li and his team also tested the capacity of the oxygen tanks. With two oxygen tanks, they could operate underwater for one hour; however, in combat, oxygen consumption would increase dramatically, limiting their use to only 20 minutes.

Oxygen cylinders are very fragile, so in order to prevent them from being damaged, Zu Li decided that each person would carry five full oxygen cylinders in their backpack, plus the ones on their back, making a total of seven oxygen cylinders per person.

The underwater conditions are extremely complex, and much of Zurich's past experience is inapplicable. No one knows if they might be stranded somewhere, waiting for their companions to rescue them.

They trained like this, and soon the sun set.

A blue moon climbed into the dark sky.
