Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 155 Moonlight Song

Yao Wei frowned, hesitant. "Can we sit here? Judging from the sound of the car, it's about to fall apart."

Lu Xian said: "It's okay. Anyway, it's okay. The bike is not going fast. If it falls apart, we can just jump out of the way and stop."

After hearing what Lu Xian said, Yao Wei did not refuse.

She didn't sit on it astride, but sat on it sideways so that she could jump off at any time.

Lu Xian released the brake, stepped on the pedal and started again. Yao Wei sat quietly in the back, feeling it carefully.

However, the speed of riding the bike was too slow for her, and the seat was made of an iron frame, which was a bit uncomfortable.

The bike groaned constantly as Lu Xian rode it, making Yao Wei suspect it would fall apart at any moment. In addition, the slight left-right swaying of the bike at the beginning made Yao Wei feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she had a strong control over her body. In the blink of an eye, she adapted to the swing of the bicycle. Her body swayed slightly according to the swing of the bicycle, and then she sat very steadily.

Lu Xian rode the bicycle in front and made another circle, but he always felt that something was missing.

Of course he understood what the difference meant—

Yao Wei sat so steadily that she didn't need to worry about falling even if her hands were hanging in the air. Therefore, she didn't reach out and put her arms around Lu Xian's waist to steady herself.

After all, I am not a teenager who is still in school, and Yao Wei is not a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

There may be some more emotions in their relationship, but what is more intense is the intimacy of sharing life and death and hardships.

This intimacy gives them an unparalleled tacit understanding, and even when riding a bicycle, they cannot feel the throbbing and collision of youth.

Perhaps only by being honest with each other like they did in the temporary shelter in Xiaogang Village, could Yao Wei and I immerse ourselves in other emotions?
But Yao Wei really rejected the feeling of being out of her control...

Never mind, it's okay, just take your time. Just a couple of simple laps, retrieving the feeling I'd long lost in my past life, is pretty good.

The bicycle returned to the car again and Yao Wei got off.

Lu Xian also got out of the car and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Yao Wei looked at the weather and said, "No, it's getting dark. And I can't take this car with me, so there's no point in learning it."

"Too."

Lu Xian nodded and stopped forcing it.

Since it was getting dark, the two of them didn't plan to leave anymore and thought of staying here for one night before setting off again.

Lu Xian asked Gouzi to control the drone to take off, and took another look around to confirm that there was no one around. Then he turned on the resonance gene scanner to check. After confirming that there were no new humans, he felt relieved and planned to stay in this former park for one night.

The resonance gene scanner is actually still useful and can still discover new humans.

Whenever Lu Xian opened it, three red dots would appear on it, representing Lu Xian, Yao Wei, and the fungus stone in the car.

As for why Lao Shu and the fish rider were not shown, Lu Xian guessed that according to the program definition of the resonance gene scanner, those two people should not be considered new humans.

They should all be the product of failed evolution. They were affected by the mysterious thing mentioned by the observer at Niutou Mountain Observatory, so they survived to this day and mastered the abilities that originally belonged to the new humans.

Think about the pool of green water on the East Mountain where the old tree is, and in the reservoir in Liangcheng County, the water is also slightly green, which looks a bit abnormal. It can be judged that the old tree and the fisherman have undergone the same changes, the only difference is the size and severity.

The reservoir is so big and full of green everywhere. Although it is much clearer than the green water by the old tree, it is large enough and the amount is probably sufficient.

Lu Xian guessed that it was because of this and because he had been soaking in water all the time that the fishman had such strong abilities. He seemed to be even more powerful than the new human in Mengxin City.

Ok……

There are other differences as well. It may be that the fish rider deals with the big fish and the brown bear every day for decades, and uses his abilities every day, so he becomes proficient in them and becomes a tamer.

The new human in Mengxin City was much younger than the fish rider, lacked experience, and had not come into contact with creatures as terrifying as big fish and brown bears. It was not unreasonable that his strength was weaker than that of the fish rider.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei built a fire on the brick floor, cooked two ears of corn and ate them, thus solving the dinner problem.

As for why they wanted to cook the corn, the two of them just wanted to try out whether the water cup could be used and how well it kept the water warm.

Before filling the water cup after eating the corn, Lu Xian first let Gou Zi check it. After confirming that there was no problem with the cup, he poured the water from the pot when cooking the corn into it and screwed the cap on.

There was still some water left in the pot, and Lu Xian and Yao Wei shared it.

Yao Wei didn't get a bowl, and Lu Xian didn't bring a mineral water bottle. They just took turns picking up the pot and drinking water.

Yao Wei's movements were natural, as if she was just doing something very normal and she didn't think there was anything wrong with sharing the same tableware.

After finishing the meal and clearing the pot, Yao Wei stared at the bicycle for a while.

"what happened?"

Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei said, "I was wondering what on top of these could be taken off and used as hidden weapons for you?"

This woman really keeps her word. She said before that she would find a hidden weapon for Lu Xian, and now she has put it into action.

Lu Xian said: "Don't rush to dismantle it, it's still early. Are you sure you don't want to try riding it?"

Yao Wei hesitated for a while, then changed her mind and nodded, saying, "Okay."

She imitated Lu Xian, got on the bike, and tried to pedal, but the bike was wobbling and she couldn't ride it steadily. After a few seconds, she had to stop and support herself with her feet again.

Seeing this, Lu Xian said, "I'll support you, take your time."

He asked Yao Wei to try again, holding the seat from behind, exerting a little force, and pushing the bicycle forward. At the same time, he also briefly taught Yao Wei the key points that she needed to pay attention to.

Yao Wei followed Lu Xian's instructions, relaxed her body, held the handlebars firmly, and pedaled forward, quickly mastering the key points. The bike moved forward quickly, with Lu Xian holding the seat and Yao Wei pedaling, turning the pedals again and again.

The bright and clear moonlight poured down, illuminating the ground as clear as water.

Yao Wei seemed to be riding a bicycle in the river of light, and Lu Xian stepped on the moonlight, sending her forward.

She looked ahead intently and asked Lu Xian behind her: "Did you let go?"

Lu Xian said: "No."

But she immediately said, "You loosened up, I can feel it."

Lu Xian stopped and smiled, "Yes, I let go. Congratulations, you've become a master."

New humans learn things very quickly. Their strong physical fitness and excellent body control allow Yao Wei to master the essentials of riding a bike in a very short time.

Lu Xian watched Yao Wei distance herself from him on her bicycle, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart, happier than if he had learned something himself.

"Ah."

Yao Wei rode her bike forward. When she reached the end, she recalled how Lu Xian had turned before. She turned around easily and rode the bike back to Lu Xian's side.

"boarding."

She said to Lu Xian, "I'll take you back to the car."

"It's not far..."

Lu Xian laughed.

Yao Wei didn't allow for rejection and said, "Get in the car. I want to try it."

Lu Xian had no choice but to agree: "Oh."

He also sat sideways on the back seat, his arm naturally passing through Yao Wei's waist and holding her slender waist.

Yao Wei's nerves suddenly tensed up, and her voice became somewhat stiff and unnatural: "Release... Release."

Lu Xian finally reacted, let go of his hand, and said, "Sorry, I'm used to it."

Yao Wei was silent for a moment, as if trying to calm herself down.

Then she asked seriously, "Why is this like what happened in the shelter? We didn't touch each other's mouths."

Lu Xian couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

Although Yao Wei was showing resistance, it was because she had feelings for herself.

Her reaction seemed to bring him back to his youth in his previous life. Just a simple interaction would make the mutual affection suddenly sprout.

Lu Xian didn't feel anything just now, but when he heard what Yao Wei said, his heart beat faster. The warmth of Yao Wei's waist seemed to remain on his loosened hand, which made him linger on the memory.

"It's your body's hormones telling you that we like each other."

He said this to Yao Wei.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, without any intention of refutation.

But she still didn't want to let her body out of control, so she didn't let Lu Xian get on the bike and pedaled back to the car.

Lu Xian followed back.

When he arrived at the car, Lu Xian saw Yao Wei get off the bicycle, staring at the bicycle again and again, and then started working.

She got the tools and used her great strength to quickly tear the bicycle into pieces.

She separated the pedals, cranks, and brake levers from the bike, broke the steel spokes on the wheels, and also several sprockets and chains used to control overspeeding.

"Is this enough?"

She asked after the dismantling.

"That's enough. How can it not be enough with so many things?"

Lu Xian said with a smile.

He wanted to help just now, but was driven away by Yao Wei.

Yao Wei said that she had not adjusted herself yet and was afraid that getting too close would make her feel uncomfortable. Besides, it didn't take much effort to dismantle the bicycle, so there was no need for two people to do it.

So Lu Xian came forward now.

Judging from Yao Wei's condition, she has almost recovered and will not feel uncomfortable just because Lu Xian is close to her.

He picked up the spoke that Yao Wei had broken off and tried it out. It felt quite smooth to use, and he couldn't help but laugh: "In ancient times, there was Xiao Li's Flying Dagger, and in the future, there will be Xiao Lu's Flying Needle."

Yao Wei asked, "Little Li's Flying Dagger? What is that?"

Lu Xian picked up the chain and swung it a few times to test it out, and replied, "It's the name of the protagonist in a story I heard before. I'll tell you when I have time."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded.
