Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 175: Action, Inquiry

The man lying on the ground was unwilling to get up. Even after hearing the woman's kind words of advice, he just kept his neck stiff and didn't say a word.

It seemed that the newly appointed bosses in Yao County had scared him thoroughly, so much so that he didn't dare to believe a single word the woman in front of him said.

Seeing that this man was so stubborn and no amount of persuasion was effective, the woman finally gave up trying.

The other two men immediately stepped forward and slapped the man twice without saying a word, knocking him unconscious. Then they lifted him up and prepared to take him back.

"If I didn't need you to work in the future, I would have cut off your arms and legs!"

A man spat on the ground and said viciously.

Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he had originally intended to spit on the person they were holding, but he probably considered that he would have to carry the person back later and was afraid that the virus would rub against himself, so he changed his mind and spit on the ground.

Seeing this in the car, Lu Xian finally said, "Let's do it."

After watching for so long, I have probably heard all the information I can hear, and I have also confirmed that the people in front of me are not new humans. If I don't take action, these people will leave.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and walked out with her gun raised.

The two people opened the driver's and passenger's doors almost at the same time, and the two "click" sounds of the doors opening overlapped.

When the people in the weeds heard the sound, they were startled.

When they came here before, they were so focused that they didn't notice there were other people here.

The sound at this moment was obviously not made by a wild beast, but sounded like a door opening. How could this not make them terrified?

Especially since there are cars in their Yao County, they can still tell how much the sound resembles the sound of a car door opening.

However, their new boss hasn't gotten the car yet, so they can't drive it out unless there are special circumstances.

Who could drive a car here and park it so quietly near them?!

It's actually kind of scary.

Several people hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound.

However, before they could turn their heads to look at the source of the sound, they suddenly heard several "whoosh" sounds breaking through the air, followed by severe pain, and their bodies fell uncontrollably.

When they saw the car in the distance and the two people getting out of the car, they were horrified to find that they were all lying in a pool of blood.

Blood was flowing from them.

——Their legs were already broken, but they only realized it now, and the pain of broken bones and torn flesh came late.

"New humans?!"

"The legendary new human?!"

"How can there be new humans in such a desolate place?!"

The two men and one woman on the ground wailed in terror.

The legendary new humans are truly too terrifying.

They didn't even see how the new humans made their move. They just heard a "whoosh" and fell to the ground with their legs broken.

The most powerful guns they had ever seen were not as terrifying as this.

The man they had held up earlier didn't have his legs broken. He was brought to the ground by the two men holding him, and after hearing the three men's shouts, he understood what was going on.

So he quickly got up from the ground, and without saying anything, he kowtowed in the direction the three people were looking, as if he had seen a god descending to earth and was kneeling down to worship him.

To him, these two people were indeed like gods. Judging from their appearance and figure alone, they were completely different from them.

The woman was holding a gun, and although the man was not holding a gun, he was twisting a stone in his hand, which inexplicably made people feel that he was more powerful than holding a gun.

He could no longer say anything and just kept bowing his head.

"boom."

Lu Xian and Yao Wei closed the car door and walked into the weeds.

There was no gunfire just now, so it wasn't Yao Wei who made the move. Now that Lu Xian had mastered the technique of concealed weapons, their previous roles had changed.

Originally, Yao Wei shot and Lu Xian covered her, but now it has become Lu Xian shooting and Yao Wei covering her.

After all, Lu Xian’s hidden weapon resources are relatively more abundant, and bullets are relatively more precious.

"Okay, stop knocking."

The two walked into the weeds, and Lu Xian said.

The wild grass was already dyed red with blood.

Lu Xian threw three pebbles at the three men, breaking their legs. They fell to the ground and were unable to escape, so they naturally bled a lot.

How could that person not listen to Lu Xian's shout? He immediately shut up.

Lu Xian ignored him, picked up the woman on the ground, turned around and said to Yao Wei: "You watch them here, I'll go ask this woman."

"it is good."

Yao Wei agreed.

Lu Xian picked up the woman and walked away from here.

After they were far enough away, he put the woman down and asked, "I heard you just say that your boss cooperated with the ghost?

"What's going on in the city? You'd better tell me the truth. I'll check with your two companions later."

The woman fell to the ground, looking miserable and speechless. She did look quite pretty, but in this world, ordinary people, even a girl like Chai Xin, would have wrinkles on their faces.

To have such a face, one must be extremely talented.

Unfortunately, as an ordinary person, no matter how talented I am, in such a harsh environment, my flowering period is too short, and now I look a little old.

When Lu Xian threw her to the ground, she supported herself on one hand, slightly leaning to one side, deliberately highlighting her figure, with her eyebrows drooping and a pitiful look.

This was obviously specially displayed for Lu Xian to see.

But Lu Xian was not moved at all. He weighed the stone in his hand, glanced at the woman, and said coldly: "If you don't answer, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

The woman finally gave up the useless pose, smiled self-deprecatingly, and began to speak: "I answered you, if you don't kill me, how can I live if I betray the boss?
"I have lost my legs and am already a cripple. If I betray the boss again, if I survive and return to Yao County, I don't know what kind of torture I will endure."

Lu Xian said: "Don't worry about this. If you are worried about being tortured by your boss, I will kill him when I get back - as long as you answer my questions honestly."

But the woman still shook her head and said, “It’s useless. Now that our boss is gone, there are other bosses.

“Unless you stay in Yao County and promise me to spare my life and not torture me.

"But how could people like you stay in a place as remote as Yao County?"

She collapsed to the ground and said, "Anyway, I won't say anything. You can either kill me or torture me and then let me die.

"Being tortured by a character like you is better than being tortured by those ugly people when I go back."

"..."

Lu Xian was speechless. Who tortured him? How could he compare good with bad?

He really wanted to kill this woman right then and there, since there were three other people he could ask.

But he didn't act impulsively.

I just watched these people communicating, and this woman seemed to be the leader among the three. She was the one who was talking all the important words.

What if there is a situation that only she knows about and the other two people don’t? If she acts impulsively, it will cause disaster.

He said, "Answer me honestly, and I will give you another way out, a way to survive. It might even be far better than this one."

The woman's expression changed and she asked, "Which road?"

It turns out this woman still has feelings. I just thought she had completely given up...

Lu Xian said: "How can it be so easy to make a living? Answer me a question first."

"which one?"

the woman asked.

Lu Xian said: "The first question I asked just now is - your boss is working with the ghost of the dead, what's going on?"

"I don't know that either."

The woman's expression was gloomy and difficult to understand, and she said, "We haven't seen that wronged soul either.

"Anyway, our boss said he's already spoken to the wronged spirit.

"He said that the two wronged souls were not actually dead yet. They were hunted by their former boss, but luckily survived and then assassinated their former boss.

“Those two wronged souls came down from Sword Mountain. They were a little weird, but also normal, but they were far from the level of the new humans.

“They couldn’t handle everyone in the city on their own, so they contacted our boss and reached a cooperation.

"Recently, people under other bosses in the city have been dying. The boss said that it was those two wronged souls who instructed him to do this.

"He's going to rely on those two wronged souls to intimidate everyone else and become the new boss."

Lu Xian raised his eyebrows. From what this woman said, it seemed as if Chai Xin and Lao Shu were still in Yao County.

But Lu Xian always felt something was wrong.

From the woman's words, he currently only dared to confirm one thing - that the people who had undergone mutations on Jianshan were not only the three that Lu Xian had seen, but also others who had come down from Jianshan, and the people in Yao County also knew about it.

However, based on the information currently available, there should be no such people or new humans in Yao County - if there are, they can only be Lao Shu and Chai Xin.

If there were other new humans, these four people would definitely not have reacted so strongly when they saw Yao Wei and me, and they would even say things like "How could new humans come to such a remote place?"

"Do you all know these things?"

Lu Xian asked.

But the woman didn't answer. Instead, she said, "That's the second question. If you want me to answer, you must first tell me what the path you gave me is."

She didn't answer Lu Xian, and Lu Xian didn't answer her either. Instead, he asked another question: "Do you think your boss told you the truth or a lie?"

The woman had no choice but to follow Lu Xian's question and answered: "I don't know. Maybe it's true. Those who died in the county town these days were really killed by wronged souls.

"Or maybe it's a lie. Those people's deaths were caused by the boss's men, or by the boss himself, but they put the blame on the wronged souls so that we don't incur public wrath and get attacked by the crowd.

“These are all possibilities.

"He doesn't usually tell me these things. He only tells me things I don't know when I sleep with him, just to show off.

"If he hadn't asked me to use this as an excuse to get him back, he wouldn't have told me the details.

“But no matter how many details there are, if I think about it carefully, I still think it’s fake.

"If it's true, how come we've never seen those two wronged souls in all this time?"
