Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 40 Great ideals

Lu Xian was very surprised that a dying person could recover with just a little bit of food. It was just like holy healing.

I wonder if I, a new human being, have such ability?
"I'm fine now, thank you very much."

Luo Ping suddenly jumped up from the ground, lively and energetic, not as lifeless as before, and said, "So, how is my ability?

"During this time, I relied on this skill to fight those bastards to the death.

"They can't kill me no matter what they do, and now they must be going crazy."

Lu Xian nodded repeatedly and said, "Great, great."

Luo Ping said proudly, "How about it, are you envious? I'm a Type B New Human, but I'm very rare. I've only seen one of my kind in my entire life."

Lu Xian nodded again and again: "I'm envious, but I'm old and dying and injured, which is a bit uncomfortable. I still want to be able to crush them directly, so that no one can beat me. That would be the best."

Yao Wei also nodded, agreeing with Lu Xian's words.

"..."

Luo Ping was silent for a while, "You really don't know how to talk."

Lu Xian didn't continue the topic and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to hide for a few days? Why did you get into a fight with someone out of the blue?"

Luo Ping's face darkened. He said, "They stole my car and killed my companion, whom I had finally found. I won't let this go until I settle this score with them!"

Lu Xian and Yao Wei couldn't help but feel a little strange. When did this guy have a companion?
Luo Ping glanced towards the county town, took a deep breath, and said, "Can you give me something to eat?
"To fully recover, Type B New Humans rely on food. In my quest to avenge my comrades, I've already eaten all the food I had with me.

“I don’t have anything on me now, but I killed all the people in Gaojiazhuang. People in the county were also killed several times by me, and now they dare not come out.

"I didn't wait there to die just to be on the safe side. Now it seems I made the right decision to come here to look after the corpse.

"Their base still has some supplies, but unfortunately no food. I can trade their supplies with you.

"If you trust me, give me a ride and get the supplies. If you don't, you can just wait here. What do you want? Weapons or tools? I'll get them for you."

Lu Xian and Yao Wei looked at each other and made up their minds.

Yao Wei said, "There's no room in the car, so you have to wait outside."

Luo Ping grinned and said, "Okay."

So Lu Xian got in the car, and Yao Wei got in the passenger seat. Luo Ping was outside, stepping on the pedals, clinging to the window frame, with Yao Wei pointing a gun at him, and they drove together to Gaojiazhuang.

This guy was still a chatterbox. Even when he was being pointed at with a gun and blasted by the wind outside the car, he still kept chattering. Without Lu Xian and Yao Wei asking, he told them everything they wanted to ask:

"I hid in a cave some time ago, and I didn't expect there were people living there. They weren't new humans, but they were very ambitious and were willing to be my companions.

"He has a good brain and a lot of ideas, so he should be able to do a lot of things.

"After hiding for two or three days, I figured those two groups wouldn't have the energy to care about me anymore, so I decided to take my new companion back to the base.

“But I didn’t expect that when I went to the gas station outside the county town to refuel, I was ambushed by people from the county town.

"They took my car and my belongings, but it doesn't matter. I can always get my belongings back.

"But they should never, ever, kill my new companion!"

Yao Wei could feel the endless sadness and anger revealed by this sharp guy at the moment, but she chose to continue to ignore it and still pointed the gun at Luo Ping.

Lu Xian was driving the car while holding the steering wheel, saying, "My condolences."

"Why are you mourning? I just want to kill people now, not mourn!"

Luo Ping gnashed his teeth and said, "This world is full of insects, and those people live like beasts. Do you know how difficult it is to find a companion like him?
"I went out of the base again and again, traveling east, west, south, and north. I don't know how many places I went to and how many people I met, but I didn't find many companions!

"The people I met were either occupying land as kings or wandering around looking for an oasis. They were searching for supplies, fighting for supplies, and becoming crazy and unreasonable for a little bit of supplies." "Why don't they think about the fact that the old world has ended for so many years, and they have been searching for so many years, but have they found an oasis?"
"Those supplies are relics from the old world. They will eventually run out. What will they do then?"

Yao Wei was stunned for a moment.

Lu Xian said: "So, you want to build an oasis yourself?"

Luo Ping's eyes lit up, and he shook his head to get rid of the hair that was blown into his mouth by the wind. He looked at Lu Xian with a sharp gaze and said, "Sure enough, I was not wrong, big brother and big sister, you are the same people as me!
"The environment in this world is very different from the old world and is much worse.

“But no one has considered that in this world with changing temperatures and diverse geology, there are still animals and plants that survive tenaciously and grow so lushly and unaffected even after severe cold.

“People in the Old World studied plants, domesticated animals, and produced Old World food. We only focus on the things of the Old World and don’t think about whether these things can continuously provide us with new food in this new era.

"Supplies are relics of the old world, and oases are just fantasies of the old world. We shouldn't just focus on the past, we should look to the future and start from where we are!"

Lu Xian exhaled lightly and said, "You are a very good orator."

Luo Ping smiled.

But at this moment, Yao Wei suddenly spoke up: "Someone has done something like this before, but they were destroyed."

Lu Xian turned his head and glanced at Yao Wei, not sure if Yao Wei was talking about his mother.

Luo Ping nodded and said, "I know. There are more than one group of people who have done this, and it's happened more than once. But they all failed, too focused on their ideals, forgetting that those who run rampant in the world have become beasts, and how brutal they are.

"They were torn to pieces by wild beasts before they could achieve much."

"So now when I want to do something like this, I can't be like them. I have to grow some fangs."

As they were talking, the car had already entered Gaojiazhuang Village.

There were corpses lying all over the place. It seemed that a battle had indeed broken out and all the people had been wiped out.

Luo Ping got out of the car and soon came out with two guns on his back. Both of his trouser pockets were bulging, and he held two heavy machetes in his hands.

"You have one gun, I have one. You have one knife, I have one. I need some bullets, so I can only give you a few. How about ten? In exchange for your three packs of instant noodles.

"If you don't finish the three packs of noodles, I'll give you the rest when we meet again."

Lu Xian asked Yao Wei to take over the knife, gun and bullets, took out the remaining three packets of noodles from the backpack and handed them to Luo Ping.

"Thank you."

Luo Ping said something, immediately opened one of the packages, and finished it in no time.

He had only eaten a small piece of bread before and hadn't fully recovered. Now, after eating another packet, he seemed to be fully revived and asked, "How about giving me a ride? Drop me off at the place ahead, near the county town."

Yao Wei said, "You do it yourself."

"Thank you."

Luo Ping thanked him again.

So Lu Xian drove out of Gaojiazhuang Village. Yao Wei still pointed the gun at Luo Ping.

When they reached a point where they could see the white flag fluttering in the wind on the county town statue, Luo Ping jumped out of the car.

"See you soon."

He turned his back to Lu Xian and Yao Wei, said something, and strode towards the county town with his gun in hand.

　Today is the first day of testing the waters. I hope you will keep reading. I also hope that you will continue to read for a period of time afterwards. Thank you!
