Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 189 Two New Humans on the Mountain

"and then?"

Lu Xian ignored the sobbing old tree and asked Luo Pingdao.

He didn't expect Lao Shu to answer the question. Although this old man had lived from the old world to the present, he had been just lying in Xiaogang Village. His experience was not as rich as Luo Ping's, and now it seemed that his mentality was far worse than Luo Ping's.

Seeing how Lao Shu is now emotionally broken, I’m afraid he can’t say anything.

Luo Ping said: "Then I thought, Chai Xin and Lao Shu were introduced by you, they are both very nice people, so the people who came with them should be very good too.

“So after Chai Xin mentioned the two of them, I asked Chai Xin and Lao Shu to call them up the mountain.

"But I didn't expect that after those two came to the mountain, they suddenly turned against each other, killed someone, and seriously injured Chai Xin and me.

“However, Chai Xin’s ability seemed a bit strange. After being seriously injured, he fell into a deep sleep. He didn’t die, but was locked up by them.

“I had no choice but to run down the mountain alone, eat something and recover.

"Lao Shu was forced to stay because of his farming skills. Later, when he found an opportunity, he disguised himself and tried to secretly rescue Chai Xin.

"But one of those two people is a Type A New Human. If Old Tree gets even slightly closer, he'll be able to hear what's happening, and Old Tree's invisibility won't be of any use.

“He had no choice but to run down the mountain and later found me.

"It seems they want to use Chai Xin as bait, using him to force Lao Shu to farm and lure me out at the same time."

Lu Xian immediately connected Luo Ping's words with what he saw on the resonance gene scanner.

From this perspective, the one who hasn't moved must be Chai Xin.

Lu Xian thought about it and realized that the old tree had the ability to sleep forever. In Xiaogang Village, it would just lie on the ground and sleep every day.

Later, they met a man lying in a coffin. Like the old tree, the man lay in the coffin and slept for several decades.

Although he was extremely old when he woke up, he had survived decades of sleeping without eating.

The old tree and the man were both exposed to the D-type strain based on the D-1 type strain, so they underwent changes, but neither of them became new humans.

So, being able to maintain body functions through sleep should also be an ability of Type D new humans?
Lower energy consumption and stronger ability to adapt to the environment - Lu Xian guessed that this should be the reason why the world at that time chose the D-type strain variant as the final choice.

Perhaps the final decision maker in Jianshan City decided to use the D-type strain because he wanted the evolved humans to be able to survive the disaster and the end of the world by sleeping.

But I didn't expect that it would fail in the end and end up with such a result.

The other two red dots that have been moving must be the two new humans that Luo Ping mentioned who suddenly turned against him and took over his position.

Everything fits together, and everything is crystal clear.

It seems that Chai Xin suffered another heavy blow when he arrived here.

This little girl is really pitiful. She has been plagued by bad luck all the way from Mengxin to here. She has encountered bad things again and again, either being kidnapped or injured.

Now he has ended up in a coma.

Thinking of this, Lu Xian and Yao Wei suddenly couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

If they had known that the road south of Jianshan City was blocked, they would not have let Chai Xin and Lao Shu leave and would have driven them here directly.

If they had followed him, Chai Xin would not have encountered these dangers and suffered these injuries along the way.

And the two new humans I met along the way would probably miss me.

——After all, Chai Xin and Lao Shu were walking, while I was driving, and the speed was different, so it was very likely that I would miss those two people.

Even if they couldn't miss each other, with Yao Wei and I around, Chai Xin would be safer...

However, both of them only felt a little regretful for a moment.

They all knew that there was no point in regretting now. The situation was already like this. Accidents and tomorrow were always unpredictable. What they needed to consider now was what to do next, not anything else.

"Are you planning to gather enough food and kill your way up the mountain?"

Lu Xian glanced into the crevice of the cave and said.

There must have been a lot of food there; he had smelled it before. And because there were a lot of fruits and meat stored there, and they had been there for a while, they had already gone bad and smelled a bit unpleasant.

It seems that Luo Ping has no other choice. He has to collect the food first, no matter whether it is good or bad. When the time comes, he will have to fight his way in even if the food is rotten.

"if not?"

Luo Ping said, "I finally have two good companions. How can I watch them die in the hands of the enemy on the mountain?

"Chai Xin is still seriously injured. What if he doesn't make it and dies?
"You saw what I did back in Fengcheng County. Now that I'm faced with the same situation, I'll naturally do the same thing!"

The old tree finally stopped whimpering and said, "I want to go too.

"Chai Xin is such a lovely little girl. I treated her like my own granddaughter the whole time I was with her.

"I can't just watch her fall into the hands of those two bastards!" "While you're dealing with them, Brother Luo, maybe I can sneak in and get Chai Xin out."

Lu Xian glanced at Yao Wei, and when she nodded, he said, "Why don't we go together?

"Luo Ping, you've already said that they have a Type A new human. If you attack them, they might tear you into pieces and leave you without food or water. It's hard to imagine how you'll recover.

“If we go along, the success rate will be higher.

"Hmm... there's another new human. What are their abilities? Can you tell me more about them?"

Luo Ping said: "The other one is type C. The type C one is a female named Yang Guan, and the type A one is a male named Da Chang.

"These two were quite difficult to deal with. One could control people, and the other was very strong. One of them punched me over ten meters away. If they had hit me again, I wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

At this point, he seemed to remember a question and asked Lu Xian and Yao Wei, "Brother and sister, how about you? Last time in Fengcheng County, you didn't tell me, so I didn't ask."

"Type A."

Lu Xian answered directly.

When they were in Fengcheng County, it was the first time they heard about the new human model.

At that time, Lu Xian actually wanted to ask Luo Ping what kind of new humans he and Yao Wei were, but in the end he still didn't ask.

At that time, I mainly didn't want to expose my abilities, but now that we are going to cooperate, there is no need to hide it.

Luo Ping was slightly surprised and asked again: "You two... are both?"

"Correct."

Lu Xian nodded.

Luo Ping stretched out his index finger and pulled the sunglasses on his nose down again, exposing his eyes completely, and looked between Lu Xian and Yao Wei with a sly look.

"Then you two must be very happy. It's a good thing your car is a hardcore off-road vehicle, so it's sturdy enough, otherwise I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to withstand the tossing and turning."

He sighed, his voice a little envious.

Yao Wei was confused for a moment and didn't understand what Luo Ping said at all, but Lu Xian understood it immediately and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

He glanced at the old tree and saw that the old man was also smiling obscenely. It seemed that he already knew what the Type A new human looked like.

Lu Xian was too tired to complain, so the old man should just go away and cry.

When Lu Xian said "let's talk about business", Luo Ping and Lao Shu put away their obscene expressions.

Luo Ping said seriously: "If they are all type A, then it will be difficult to deal with.

"Although Type A is very powerful, one plus one can only equal two. Even if you add me and Old Tree, the maximum is only 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7.

"But the two on the mountain are different. Type A plus Type C means one plus one is greater than two, maybe even greater than three.

"I've never seen them work together, because I'm only a Type B after all, and the Type A is more than enough to deal with me.

"I estimate that if the two of them join forces, and Type C stimulates Type A, the power exerted by Type A will be amplified many times over.

"It would be nice if you had a Type C."

Lu Xian said: "Forget it, I don't want to be covered in sweat every day."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement.

Luo Ping thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Yang Guan does sweat a lot and stinks. Do you know how Da Chang tolerates her?"

Lu Xian thought that although it was very smelly, Type C ability still had its advantages. It could make people feel that it would come true at any time.

Although the situation was dangerous at the time and I almost got into trouble, when I think about it again, I can't help but feel a little unsatisfied.

I have only experienced the abilities of the Type C new humans once or twice, but the guy on the mountain who stays with the Type C new humans every day, doesn't he experience it every day?

At that time, I was driving on the road in the wilderness of Mengxin City. The pleasure was so intense that it went straight to the top of my head. The two of them had been together for a long time, and the type A new human might even be unable to do without the type C woman.

But he just thought about it in his mind and didn't say it out loud.

But unexpectedly, Luo Ping had already thought of it without him saying it. After saying that sentence, he changed his tone and said, "It doesn't seem so... There is a Type C new human, which seems to be really cool.

“Speaking of which, the most powerful person I’ve ever seen in the South is Type C.

"A Type C New Human has so many other types of New Humans under his command, as well as so many ordinary people who work hard for him. What's the point? They just want to have fun!
"Oh, I wish I were type C, so I could save myself a lot of trouble."

Lu Xian said: "It's a crooked way, not the right way, you'd better not think about it."

The old tree nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes. In the old world, this was just like smoking something. It was a crime and not a good thing."

Luo Ping patted his forehead and said, "That's right. I don't want to be like those people and occupy the land as the king. I still have important things to do. How can I follow them?"
"Let's not think about that now, let's talk about saving Chai Xin first."
