Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 74 Influence
The sound sounded like someone walking in the snow.

But it’s so cold and the snow is so thick, who would come here in the wind and snow?
Lu Xian instantly thought of the girl who had scared away the wolves with wolf howls and bows and arrows.

After listening to the sound and distinguishing it, I found that the footsteps were a little slow, as if they were struggling in the thick snow, making it difficult for them to walk. It didn't seem like they were new humans.

——Of course, as Luo Ping said, there are differences between new humans and new humans.

People like me and Yao Wei are extremely strong. When walking in the snow, we can rely on our own strength to move forward roughly without affecting our speed.

But a Type B new human like Luo Ping may not be able to do it.

So to be precise, it was someone from outside, not a new human like himself and Yao Wei.

The "squeaking" sound of footsteps on the snow is getting closer and closer.

The heavy snow blocked their vision, and Lu Xian and Yao Wei could only locate their position by listening to the sounds, as they could not see anything.

The two looked at each other again, and without saying a word, they had already exchanged ideas and made up their minds.

The two of them opened the car door almost at the same time and stood up by stepping on the outer pedals.

Yao Wei picked up the pistol, listened to the sound and located the location. The moment she stood up, she aimed at the source of the sound of footsteps in the snow.

Lu Xian picked up his submachine gun. He could only follow the sound and point the muzzle at that place. His shooting skills were not accurate. The only thing he could do was to fire at the critical moment to cover Yao Wei.

Then the two of them saw people in the snow quite far away.

——The two of them had excellent hearing, so the man was noticed by Lu Xian and Yao Wei before he could get close.

And sure enough, as Lu Xian expected, that person was the girl on the other side of the river.

The girl was not tall, and her legs, up to her knees, were inevitably covered in snow.

She seemed to have turned into a snowman, with her head covered in snow, her eyebrows turned into two white lines, and her eyelashes covered with crystal snowflakes.

However, because I was constantly moving, no snow accumulated on my body.

The two irregular long deep pits behind her were traces of her walking.

The weather was extremely cold. Not to mention the girl, even Lu Xian couldn't help but shiver when he opened the car door and was hit by the cold wind and snow.

The girl was trembling all over, her movements were a little stiff. When she saw Lu Xian and Yao Wei pointing their guns at her, she stopped in her tracks, raised her hands tremblingly, and grinned: "You really are new humans!"

Because she had been frozen all the way, the girl could not speak clearly. Her voice was trembling and her teeth were chattering. She looked so pitiful, like a poor little animal that had to ask for help when in danger.

Her teeth were also a little uneven and yellowed, so Lu Xian and Yao Wei confirmed that this was definitely not a new human.

The biggest difference between new humans and ordinary people lies in the natural maintenance of personal hygiene.

In fact, it was already obvious from the girl's yellow and oily hair and dry and red facial skin. Identifying from the teeth was just confirmation by Lu Xian and Yao Wei.

Compared to other parts of the body, teeth are the most obvious feature.

But Lu Xian and Yao Wei did not let down their guard and still pointed their guns at the girl.

The girl forced a smile and said, "I have no ill intentions, otherwise I wouldn't have helped you drive away the wolves before. If you don't believe me, I can drop my weapons."

She was carrying a bow and arrow, and when she said this, she was about to take off the weapon.

Lu Xian stopped him and said, "No, just don't touch the weapon."

When the girl heard Lu Xian finally talk to her, she seemed relieved, nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"

A sudden gust of cold wind blew, and Lu Xian felt pain in his ears and his face felt like it was scratched by an ice knife. His hands were so stiff that he could hardly hold the gun, and his fingers on the trigger were almost numb.

I really don’t know how the girl managed to persist in the heavy snow.

He could only persist, confronting the girl and asking, "What do you want to do?"

The girl said, "I'm out of ammunition and food. There's nothing I can do."

Lu Xian sneered, "Who are you kidding? You can scare away those wolves, but you can't hunt them? Even if you can't hunt them, if you look for the place where the gunshots were heard before, you can find the bodies of two wolves. That should be enough to eat for a while. How can you run out of ammunition and food?"

The girl smiled bitterly, "I really can't hunt them. They are all scared of my shooting and run away when they see me. If you hadn't attracted the wolves' attention today, I wouldn't have had the chance to shoot them.

"Even if I can get a meal today, I'll starve to death in the future. I have no choice but to come to you and see if you can help."

Lu Xian asked: "Aren't you afraid that we are not good people?"

The girl said, "Then die early."

Lu Xian: "..."

It does make some sense.

"To the east is Tongzhou County, and to the west is Mengxin City. Why did you have to come to us instead of going to those two places?"

Lu Xian asked again.

The girl said, "If I go to those two places, I will surely die."

What this means is that if he comes to find Lu Xian and Yao Wei, there is still a chance that he will not die.

It seems that there are no good people in the urban area of ​​Mengxin City, just like in Tongzhou County.

Lu Xian didn't take his eyes off the girl. He stared at her and asked Yao Wei, "What should we do? Should we take care of her?"

Yao Wei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is she a good person?"

Lu Xian said: "I don't know. Do you want to save her?"

Yao Wei didn't answer. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "She helped us, but saving her is dangerous."

Lu Xian felt that Yao Wei was influenced by him. If it were in the past, she would probably have left very abruptly.

Everyone in this world is struggling to survive. Even they may lose their lives at any time. Who can care about whom else?

But now Yao Wei actually hesitated.

But...I am the same...

If it were before, I would definitely leave without hesitation. But now, I actually asked Yao Wei.

Isn't this also hesitation?

Not only Yao Wei was influenced by me, I was also influenced by Yao Wei.

Perhaps, it has something to do with Luo Ping.

The one who is always looking for good people.

Are Yao Wei and I really thinking that this person who came to us on his own initiative and showed weakness is a good person?

"puff--"

There was a muffled sound as the thick snow was under pressure.

The girl in the distance suddenly fell down.

He had fallen down from the cold, so even after falling into the snow, his body was still somewhat stiff.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei looked at each other and got out of the car, the muzzles of their guns always pointed at the person lying in the snow.

After walking over and confirming that the girl was unconscious, Lu Xian said, "Then you stay here and watch while I go get the rope from the car?"

Yao Wei nodded: "Okay."

So Lu Xian returned to the car, took out the rope that Yao Wei had left in the car, tied up the girl, and then carried her back.
