Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 184 Movie
"According to what this person said, he and Luo Ping seem to have a good relationship."

After listening to what the man said, Lu Xian said something to Yao Wei.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded.

Lu Xian suddenly remembered something and quickly stepped on the brakes to stop the car.

——After refueling, he took over the driving from Yao Wei. They had agreed before that they would take turns driving. Now Yao Wei had driven enough, so it was his turn to drive.

"Who does your Luo Ge come with every time?"

He stuck his head out of the car window and turned back to ask the man another question.

The man and his two women had just lowered their hands, which had long been unable to be raised, and breathed a sigh of relief. When they saw the car stop again, Lu Xian stuck his head out and hurriedly raised his hands again with difficulty.

"He's alone."

He quickly said, "He's always alone."

"Okay, thank you."

Lu Xian said this, then retracted his head into the car window and continued driving.

The three men put down their hands again, with some surprise in their eyes.

"He actually said thank you?!"

A woman said this in a slightly bewildered tone. It seemed as if, in her understanding, a New Human would never utter these two words to an ordinary person.

The man said, "What's the big deal! Brother Luo always says thank you to me!"

Another woman said, "Then why are you still following him?! A new breed like him is so soft-hearted that he won't last long. Don't let him get killed one day and you get implicated and punished!"

The man sneered: "Why else do you think I'm still here and not leaving with Luo Ge?

"I'm just borrowing his name to hang around here. Look, ever since I've been guarding this gas station and going to the county town to look for you guys, who in the county town dares to disrespect me?
"Your boss still has to spend time asking for tributes from others, but look at me. Every time I go back to the city, your boss will take the initiative to share some benefits with me without me having to say anything."

"I have never told anyone about this. You two will follow me from now on, so don't tell anyone!
"I still need to rely on Luo Ge's name to get by. I can get by with this name, and then you can live a good life.

"Here I have plenty of food and drink, and I don't have to work or wait on others. Isn't it better than in the city?"

The two women showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and were full of admiration for the man. They surrounded him and returned to the station building.

As for the car and the two new humans, they were already behind them and had nothing to do with them.

……

As the car moved away from Hetou Village, the outline of a mountain gradually appeared in the north.

The mountain marked on "World Atlas 1" is called Qinshan, and the Qinshan River is named after it.

Shanyang County is located in the south of Qinshan Mountain, so it is called Shanyang. There is also a county town in the north of the mountain, called Shanyin.

Driving along the road, looking at the rolling hills to the north, I felt that they were far less imposing than those in the Jianshan Mountains, and even less impressive than those in Yubei. However, on the plains of Pingchuan City, the mountains seemed high and abrupt.

Lu Xian told Yao Wei all the conversations between him and the guy who survived at the gas station when Yao Wei was exploring the oil tank.

But after hearing this, Yao Wei just said "hmm" lightly, and neither of them had any intention of discussing those two people.

Luo Ping didn't like that man, so there must be something wrong with him. But no matter how he lived in Hetou Village, it was none of Lu Xian and Yao Wei's business.

Due to insufficient information, the two could not observe what specific problems the man had, but they both vaguely felt that they did not like the man. If they did not like him, why bother discussing him?
"We'll reach Shanyang County in half a day's walk, but Luo Ping said he's north of Shanyang County. So, let's not go into Shanyang County. Let's just head north."

The sun gradually set in the west. Lu Xian took a look and said to Yao Wei.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "To the north is Qinshan. Could the place Luo Ping mentioned be on the mountain?"

Lu Xian thought about it and said, "It's possible. A secret base must be built in a place that ordinary people can't find. The mountain is rarely visited, so it's possible that the secret base was built in such a place.

"Tonight we're near Shanyang County, so let's find a place to rest. Tomorrow, we'll go take a walk along the foot of Qin Mountain.

"But we still have to be careful. There are four red dots here in Shanyang. We don't know who they are, friend or foe..."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded.

So when the sun moved west again and the car was still some distance away from Shanyang County, they stopped first.

We may have to face new humans tomorrow, so we need to conserve our energy today so that we can deal with various possible dangers tomorrow.

"Really...why do we have to go this way? If we just go around, we don't even have to consider all these risks."

After finding a suitable place to park the car, the two of them ate some fried corn beans with water. When they lay down to rest, Lu Xian complained like this.

——They didn’t actually lie down immediately after eating the fried beans. Since it was still light outside, they took advantage of the daylight to stretch their muscles and practice some boxing and kicking.

After a long car ride, I just stretched out my body and felt extremely comfortable. My punches and kicks were as fast as the wind, and I felt more and more powerful.

"I feel like I can kill my old self with one punch. This must be the effect of the fungus stone, right?"

While boxing, Lu Xian discussed with Yao Wei.

Yao Wei nodded at the time and felt that this was the case.

During this period of time, Lu Xian's strength and physical condition had increased, and she had also seen some improvement. However, after training until dark, when they reclined in the car seat, Yao Wei listened to Lu Xian's complaints but just quietly opened her laptop and selected a video to watch without making any response.

She was a little upset and didn't know how to respond.

She felt that what Lu Xian said made sense.

In the past, if she had known that there were four new humans ahead and was unsure whether they were dangerous or not, she would have definitely stayed away.

But now, she is just like Lu Xian, and is inexplicably tempted to rush towards danger.

"Alas...bonds are harmful!"

Lu Xian sighed and said.

"What bond?"

Yao Wei didn't quite understand the word and asked.

"Bonds are relationships built between people, like you and me, and us and Chai Xin."

Lu Xian sighed and added, "Because Chai Xin is here, we are willing to take the risk and give it a try.

"This is still Chai Xin. If you were here, I guess I wouldn't even think about it and would just go and kill him, right?"

Yao Wei thought about it, nodded and said, "Yeah, me too."

But when she thought about the changes that this bond had brought to her, Yao Wei was still a little upset and couldn't concentrate.

She also regarded this as a loss of control. When she was choosing the video, she kept thinking about this matter and couldn't concentrate.

In the end, she was too lazy to choose, so she just opened a video and started watching it.

Lu Xian reclined the driver's seat, placed his hand on the center console, and held the fungus stone.

After Yao Wei finished fiddling with the laptop, she also put her hand on Lu Xian's hand, and the two of them wrapped the fungus stone together.

The growth of the two people's bodies during this period of time was all due to this. If this continues, Lu Xian wonders if they will usher in a second evolution.

But looking at the changes and development of their bodies now, they shouldn't become like old trees or fish-riding people.

Lu Xian felt relieved. As long as he didn't turn into an old tree, a fish rider, or a man in a coffin, he would become stronger anyway, and he could change in any way he wanted.

The two watched the movie quietly.

Yao Wei chose this movie at random. After opening it, the movie that appeared on the laptop screen was not about war or love. Instead, the title of the film that appeared was "The Deserted Island".

Then it begins with a man who is desperate about life jumping off a bridge and falling into the river.

Yao Wei didn't understand this and frowned.

Why would you want to commit suicide when you live in such a good world?
Lu Xian glanced at Yao Wei, saw Yao Wei's confusion, and explained: "People always have different troubles due to different living environments.

“Sometimes it’s not even a worry, but a disease, a psychological disease, and when you have it, you want to die.

"Haven't you heard what Old Tree said? During the cold disaster, some people went to the top of East Mountain and jumped off the cliff. Maybe some people couldn't survive, but some people might have been sick."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and continued watching the movie.

Lu Xian started watching it as well, but as he watched, he suddenly felt that the movie looked familiar.

In his previous life, he seemed to have come across a similar plot on a short video app.

The desperate man failed to commit suicide and was washed onto a small island in the river by the waves. Since he was a landlubber, he could not leave and ended up living on the island.

From seeking death at the beginning, to picking up things to eat, to finding ways to catch fish, to finding grains in the droppings of indigestible birds and planting them, and finally to growing corn and making noodles to enjoy.

This process of igniting hope step by step, as well as the plot of watching over the autistic woman in Jiangwai Building from afar, communicating through drifting bottles and writing on the ground, and redeeming each other.

I didn't expect that in this world, there would be a movie with a similar plot to that of my previous life.

As Lu Xian looked at it, he actually found the shadows of himself and Yao Wei. It was as if he and Yao Wei were two patients in this desolate world. In this desolate and desperate world, they met and got to know each other, and gradually lived their lives with only each other in their lives.

As he watched this familiar movie, he suddenly lost all desire to sleep and watched it from beginning to end.

Yao Wei was a little surprised by this. After watching the movie, she saw that Lu Xian was still awake and asked, "You didn't sleep?"

"Ah."

Lu Xian nodded and said, "This movie is quite good. I was so fascinated by it that I couldn't fall asleep."

"Ah."

Yao Wei also nodded and responded, indicating that she agreed with Lu Xian's statement.

She was indeed quite engrossed in what she was watching, which was rare for her.

You have to know that when she watched those combat and war films before, she was only interested in the fighting techniques, weapon use, and tactical thinking. She was only curious about the specific plots and world background, but not interested.

She probably feels the same as me...

Lu Xian looked at Yao Wei's face, still savoring the thought, and thought to himself.
