Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 85 Return
When they returned to Tongzhou County, they naturally passed by the Mengxin Petroleum gas station again.

After filling up the tank there, they arrived outside Tongzhou County.

"You say... Can Chai Xin go faster than our car?"

Lu Xian stopped the car, looked at the gray and dilapidated city buildings in the distance, and asked.

There were only him and Yao Wei in the car, so he was naturally asking about Yao Wei.

Yao Wei glanced at the wolfskin-wrapped stone on the central control position and said, "I don't know."

The speed of the car is definitely beyond the limit of human beings. Even she and Lu Xian, two new humans, can only surpass the car in short-distance bursts. But over a long period of time, their speed can never be compared with the car that always maintains high speed.

If it were before, they would definitely think it was impossible for diesel to surpass cars, but now it is different.

The appearance of the mysterious stone completely shattered their cognition, making it impossible for them to confirm whether the emergence of new humans was related to this stone, and therefore it was difficult to judge whether Chai Xin was a new human or an ordinary person.

If Chai Xin is a new human with special speed bonuses, it is entirely possible that she can reach Tongzhou County before the car arrives.

"Or maybe she got too far away in the bushes and we can't find her if we walk on the road?"

Lu Xian guessed again.

Yao Wei thought about it and said, "It's possible."

Lu Xian said: "Forget it, forget it, let's stop guessing and go into the city to take a look."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement and suggested, "How about we find a place to hide the car and walk in?
"The people in the city have confirmed that there are no new humans. We can handle it. But it would be bad if we accidentally damaged the car."

Once bitten, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. After what happened before, the woman was afraid that someone would damage her car.

This car is her most precious treasure. If someone damages it, she will be heartbroken.

But Lu Xian asked a question: "There are more things in the car than our backpacks can hold.

"What if someone finds our car after we get into the city? Even if they can't drive it away and don't damage it, they can still take the rice, vegetables, and gasoline cans we have in the car. That's not going to make up for it."

"..."

Yao Wei was silent for a while, and after weighing the pros and cons, she had to admit that what Lu Xian said made sense.

"Then I'll go to the roof."

She quickly compromised and made a decision. As soon as she finished speaking, she took her pistol and bow and arrow, opened the car door, and jumped onto the roof.

It was certain that there were no new human masters in the county town, so she felt that her safety could be guaranteed. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment was to ensure the safety of the car.

Once on the roof, her vision and attacks can radiate in all directions of the car, covering the surroundings. It is the perfect position.

The pistol was loaded, but the safety was not yet released. Yao Wei put it on her waist where she could reach it, then picked up the hunting bow, put an arrow on it, and was ready to draw the bow at any time.

Lu Xian said: "I'll let Gouzi help you watch."

He rolled down the car window, grabbed the mechanical dog, and handed it out. Yao Wei immediately took it and put the dog aside.

Gou Zi also called out the drone and sent it into the air for alert.

The car drove back into the city that both of them had visited once, forming a ground-air coordination posture.

If someone saw it, they would probably be terrified.

Even so, Lu Xian and Yao Wei remained cautious. They both had a certain understanding of the distribution of power in the city, so when entering the city, they could consciously avoid the areas where power concentrated in the county town.

——Of course, Fa Zai in Tongzhou County is dead, and they have been gone for some time. The power structure may have changed, and the previous information and experience may not be accurate.

So even when they were walking on a road that had been confirmed to be safe, they did not let their guard down.

Lu Xian slowed down the car, on the one hand looking for Chai Xin, and on the other hand being careful of potential dangers.

The car went straight through the north-south road, turned onto the east-west road on the central axis, and drove a little further. It didn't encounter any danger, but saw a corpse.

The body was short and thin, with a wound on the left calf, but it didn't look fatal. Lu Xian felt that he had frozen to death here.

It is probably because the two previous waves of cold waves came too close together, and the corpses were thrown here, frozen and thawed, thawed, and then thawed again, but no one cleaned them up, and they did not have time to be eaten by birds, beasts, insects and snakes.

"It seems that after we left, a major battle broke out in Tongzhou County."

Lu Xian looked at the corpse and speculated, then said, "I don't know how fierce this battle was, and whether it has continued until now?"

The sound was not loud, but he knew that Yao Wei on the roof could hear it.

Yao Wei didn't respond, so he continued driving forward towards the gas station.

——That was where Fa Zai was before, and it could also be considered the center recognized by all forces in this county.

If Chai Xin came here, would he go to that gas station? I wonder if others would fight for it.
……

Others are literally vying for gas stations.

The previous battle was actually quite intense, and the battlefield even spread from inside the gas station to outside the gas station.

Otherwise, someone wouldn't be thrown on the roadside with just a minor leg injury, and no one would take care of him until he froze to death.

However, after two cold waves and a heavy snowfall, the three forces in the county have gradually calmed down.

There were only three people left in the Plaza Community - the one Lu Xian and Yao Wei saw on the road was one of the people from the Plaza Community faction, and one person also died in the South Street Supermarket.

The dead were gathered together and thrown at the base of the wall of the gas station. There were several skeletons next to them. One skeleton was extremely small, and the other two were slightly larger. The flesh on them had been removed completely, and not a single bit of the living people was wasted.

In any case, after this fierce battle, the balance between the three forces has been broken.

There were originally five people in the Plaza Community, but only three are left. There were originally four people in the South Street Supermarket, but now there are only three. Only the Tongzhou Hotel, which originally had seven people, still has seven people now, with one person still alive, has crushed the Plaza Community and the South Street Supermarket.

The leader of the Tongzhou Hotel was in high spirits, occupying the remaining corpses and saying, “Don’t worry, I’m not Fa Zai, why are you acting like this?
"So many of us have already died. We can't continue fighting. I'll distribute the food. From now on, you all must listen to me and work together. You will definitely not follow in Fa Zai's footsteps."

The female leader of the South Street Supermarket sneered and said, "That's easy for you to say. Fa Zai can kill the new humans, can you?"

The head of Tongzhou Hotel sneered: "What's impossible? Fa Zai, a mere kid, can do it, so why can't I?
"He's just playing some tricks. If you all listen to me and follow me in the future, what's wrong with that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several of his men started to cheer and encourage him.

"Om-"

A strange noise suddenly came from outside the gas station.

Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a black aircraft suddenly fly out, followed by a metal off-road vehicle below. The woman in the off-road vehicle drew her bow and arrow, aiming at them.

The crowd was horrified and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

　Thanks to Mosquito Reinforcement, k74, and Da Qiao Miao for their tips. I'm actually quite hesitant about writing this plot, but I have to push the main storyline forward. I can't just keep writing about Taobao trash collection; I have to expand the plot bit by bit. I hope you don't mind.
