Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 104 You Are Really Good People
"got it."

Lu Xian said as he drove. He did not rush out of the city, but went to the gas station in the city first.

When entering the city before, Yao Wei looked at the map and pointed to the location of the gas station in the city, and Lu Xian drove straight in that direction.

After turning a corner along the road, the bungalow behind gradually disappeared from view.

Chai Xin also retracted his gaze, no longer looking angry, and continued: "It's good that you got it. You should have tried it, right? What does that thing do?

"It felt warm in my hand, and I felt full of strength. I put it in the cave and lay on it to rest. It felt like I was refreshed in a moment.

"With this thing, I can always keep myself in shape and not be afraid of falling asleep. It's very useful.

"But unfortunately, I just can't stop being hungry."

"..."

Lu Xian was silent for a moment and asked, "Is this how you use this thing?"

Chai Xin asked: "What else?"

"..."

Lu Xian was silent again.

He glanced at Chai Xin and felt that Chai Xin did not seem to be lying.

Besides, Chai Xin had already given the stone to them, so there was no reason for him to lie.

It seemed that this girl really didn't know the true use of the fungus stone. No wonder when Yao Wei and I asked her why she was so powerful, her answer was so confusing.

Chai Xin continued, "They must have always been thinking about that stone, otherwise they wouldn't have been targeting me so much.

"That stone didn't actually have this effect before. They say that if anyone touched that stone, their whole body would fester and they would die.

"I once broke into Mengxin City and was caught by them. They tied me up and stuffed rocks into my body, hoping to torture me to death with the rocks.

"But the stone suddenly changed for some reason. I don't know if it was just my luck that I happened to wait until the stone changed.

“Anyway, I didn’t rot when I touched the stone, and my body, which had been fighting with them for a long time, suddenly recovered.

"I took the opportunity to run away. Later, I was able to stay in the wild because of that stone. It was very useful for restoring my spirit."

After listening to Chai Xin, Lu Xian nodded and said, "It is indeed useful."

"right!"

Chai Xin smiled proudly, “But now I give it to you!
"You are willing to take me in, give me food, and say you will send me to a good place. You are good people!
"I've never met such kind people as you in my life! I'm giving you the stone, and you can use it. I don't have anything else to give you."

"Thank you."

Lu Xian thanked him and didn't say anything else.

He drove to the gas station, plugged in the dog, looked at the gas pump, and after confirming that it was still usable, he filled up the car with gas.

The man behind also caught up with a "huff and puff". He ran so fast that he didn't even bother to pick up the new human's head. He didn't know where he dropped it.

When they ran into the gas station, Lu Xian and Yao Wei had just filled up their car with gas.

Yao Wei had also taken the other person off the roof and untied the rope.

Yao Wei continued to stand on the roof of the car, and Lu Xian also returned to the car and drove off.

The two men's faces flickered, but Lu Xian said: "Okay, it's enough to cover you from them. From now on, you will fend for yourselves."

He couldn't possibly introduce such a treacherous person to Luo Ping. He drove away, and the two men knew that it was useless to say anything more, so they could only stand there with dejected expressions.

By this time, it was gradually getting dark, but there were many people in the city, so Lu Xian and Yao Wei had no intention of staying in the city.

After they drove out of the city, they found a place to stop and rest.

Yao Wei took a piece of cloth from the trunk, wrapped the wolf corpse on the roof, then returned to the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Chai Xin returned to her old position and curled up to rest.

Lu Xian stuffed the wolfskin-wrapped fungus stone back into Chai Xin's hands and said, "It's too dark tonight, and it's not easy to cook. You can starve tonight and we can talk tomorrow morning.

"And this stone, you can use it at night for the time being. Once we leave Mengxin City and go our separate ways, you won't need it anymore."

The "X-17 Strain" Project Practical Manual states it so clearly: everyone in this world today is a new human.

The new humans created by the "Ding-1" type strain must have two essential properties: one is anti-freeze, and the other is anti-hunger.

These two abilities might not be as good as those of new humans like Lu Xian and Yao Wei, but they were good enough. Looking at Chai Xin's current condition, he should have no problem holding on for another night.

Chai Xin also nodded and did not refuse, indicating that there was no problem.

As for the right to use the mushroom stone at night, Chai Xin tried to refuse, but Lu Xian was firm in his attitude, and Yao Wei also acted as if she would do whatever Lu Xian said. Chai Xin could not refuse, so he had no choice but to sleep with the mushroom stone in his arms.

Before going to bed, she couldn't help but sigh: "You are such good people!"

Lu Xian smiled and said nothing.

He did not directly tell Chai Xin the true function of the fungus stone, for fear that when they were about to part, Chai Xin would be reluctant to part with it, or would become covetous and cause trouble.

But Chai Xin has not yet completely transformed from a D-1 type new human to a D type new human, so this stone still needs to be given to her for use.

After they left Mengxin City and arrived at a place with a slightly better environment, Chai Xin had almost recovered, and they would eventually part ways with Chai Xin.

At that time, Chai Xin would have to set off alone. They would tell Chai Xin the location of Luo Ping's secret base in the north of Shanyin County, Pingchuan City. As for whether Chai Xin would go or not, it was her own business.

However, it was impossible for Lu Xian and Yao Wei to escort Chai Xin all the way to Pingchuan City.

When Lu Xian first got on the bus, he said he would just take a ride and get off when he found a suitable place.

But they had actually come across a suitable place to live before, and Lu Xian didn't get off the car.

It was impossible to get off the bus now, so Lu Xian planned to stay in the car and keep walking.

As for Yao Wei, she said she was going to Wanquan County, Mengze City in the south.

Lu Xian hadn't asked Yao Wei what her purpose was, but he could guess. He had no intention of getting off the bus, and he knew Pingchuan City wasn't a stop on this trip.

Otherwise, if Luo Ping had turned south early in the morning, they should have followed suit.

We will eventually go our separate ways as we head south. Before that, I hope Chai Xin can rely on this fungus stone to completely evolve into a new type D human.

That way, she would be safer when she separated and went on her own.

……

There was no conversation that night, and the next day was still warm.

Chai Xin woke up curled up, with the wolfskin-wrapped mushroom stone still in her arms. She grinned and said to Lu Xian and Yao Wei, "It feels so good! Thank you!"
