Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 88 It Turned Out to be a Misunderstanding
The two people, a man and a woman, had dry and yellow hair and sunken eye sockets. They looked only middle-aged, but their faces were full of wrinkles and ruggedness.

The man was bald, with messy hair hanging around his sides, so sparse that it looked like a fake waterfall in a TVB drama.

In his hand he held a long wooden pole with a pointed end, like a spear cut from a knife.

A knife was tied to his back, with the tip of the knife exposed from the right waistband. The blade was already a little bent, but it seemed that the man was reluctant to throw it away.

The woman held a bow in her hand and a quiver on her back, but she didn't draw the bow and draw the arrows. Instead, she held a short knife in her hand, which seemed like her usual weapon.

"Be careful of their hands, those spears are supposed to be thrown."

Lu Xian guessed in his heart and reminded Yao Wei on the roof of the car.

"it is good."

Yao Wei agreed and drew her bow and arrow, aiming at the road outside.

She also held another arrow between her fingers as a backup, ensuring that after the first arrow on the bowstring was shot, the second arrow could be quickly added.

But it's just ready to go.

Yao Wei had no intention of taking the initiative.

If those two people had no intention of taking action, she and Lu Xian would not mind just pretending and turning a corner ahead to make way.

But if those two people were to take action, she wouldn't mind sending them to death.

The two men heard the sound of a car and then saw Yao Wei on the roof of the car.

The men raised their spears, and the women put their daggers in their mouths and gritted their teeth, then they drew their bows and put arrows on them, but none of them made a move.

Until Lu Xian drove and turned at the end of the road.

"call out--"

The woman's fingers loosened their grip on the bow, and the arrow flew towards the wheel.

Her goal was so determined that she wanted to target the most vulnerable part of the car.

However, her accuracy was not good. When the arrow was shot, Lu Xian and Yao Wei both confirmed at a glance that the arrow could only absorb the exhaust gas of the car and had no chance of hitting the tire.

But the woman's aim was not good, but the man was quite good.

The moment the woman shot the arrow, the man also stretched his body, took a big step forward, twisted his waist, and threw the spear in his hand with force.

"call--"

The roar that broke through the air was so clear and went straight to the rear wheel.

Lu Xian narrowed his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror. He saw an arrow flying towards the woman. Yao Wei also jumped down from the roof of the car and appeared in the rearview mirror.

The bow and arrow must have been left on the roof of the car. Yao Wei did not take it down. She pulled out the dagger she carried with her and fell from the car, landing exactly where the spear came from.

"Click——"

The dagger struck the spear accurately, splitting it in two and bending it downward in the middle.

The tip of the spear tilted upwards, but it had lost its forward momentum and fell to the ground.

"boom--"

Lu Xian stepped on the brakes and a gunshot rang out.

Yao Wei didn't stop at all. After she stood firmly on the ground, she drew her gun and shot. It was quick and decisive, without any delay.

When he looked out the car window, the woman in the grass had been shot by an arrow, and the man had also been shot and fell to the ground.

"Dog!"

Lu Xian gave an order and turned on the drone.

The robot dog controlled the drone to take off and quickly explore. Only then did Lu Xian feel relieved. He opened the door and got out of the car, saying to Yao Wei, "There are only the two of them here. There is no one else."

"Yeah." Yao Wei nodded, holding the knife in her hand and walked into the bushes. As she walked, she said to Lu Xian, "Pack up your bow and arrows. They're on the roof of the car."

Lu Xian had no choice but to jump onto the roof of the car and pick up the bow and arrows that Yao Wei had thrown down. Then he drew his sword and followed Yao Wei into the grass outside the road.

During this time, he always let the dog control the drone in the sky and keep alert. If the drone finds anything, the dog can immediately issue a warning and let them return to the car.

Lu Xian quickly walked to the man and woman on the grass and found that they were lying on the ground, but they were still breathing.

The woman was injured in the chest, losing blood and strength, and there was a big cut on the corner of her mouth. It was because she had been biting a knife before, and after being shot by the arrow, she lost her balance and cut herself with the knife in her mouth.

This dagger has double edges, and this woman actually dared to bite it with her teeth. If she doesn't get hurt, who will?

The man was shot in the eye and rolled around in the grass, wailing and bleeding.

"You actually spared their lives. How rare."

Lu Xian said. He absolutely did not believe that Yao Wei's shot could miss, even at high speed.

He had seen Yao Wei's shooting skills more than once, and there was no way she would make any mistakes.

Yao Wei didn't say anything, but just glanced at the woman.

Lu Xian followed Yao Wei's gaze and noticed an upside-down quiver next to the woman, which looked so familiar.

——But if it’s not Chai Xin’s, whose is it?!
But he remained calm and asked, "Why are you attacking us?"

He was also thinking of threatening these two people, asking them whether they wanted to die a quick death or suffer torture if they didn't tell him.

As for being alive, that is impossible, and these two people probably wouldn't believe it.

But before he could say anything, the woman struggled to sit up from the ground, panting violently, and said, "I'm telling you, you... huff... huff... give me a quick death."

It seems that she also understands the situation and does not need Lu Xian to remind her.

Lu Xian nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

The woman took several deep breaths again. The arrow wound in her chest had a significant impact on her.

She took a moment to calm her breathing before she spoke, "We came here to look for someone and found traces of a car on the road over there.

"I wonder if the car that ran over the wolf was yours... I don't think it was...

"That car couldn't even handle a pack of wolves. Just look at the tracks on the road. It's obvious that the car ran away when it encountered the wolves. It's clearly not a new species.

"You know, the person we're looking for isn't a new human, but she was able to scare off the wolves all by herself. How could a new human be worse than her?"

Neither Lu Xian nor Yao Wei spoke.

It was very clear from the woman's words that the person they were looking for was Chai Xin.

And it was undoubtedly this woman, or this group of people, who had scattered stones on the ground to block their way.

As for whether or not to argue over the strength of the argument and discuss the degree of intensity, which was related to whether or not one was willing to fight to the death, Lu Xian and Yao Wei both felt that it was unnecessary.

The most important thing now is to figure things out.

They listened to the woman continue: "We judged that the car would come back to collect the bodies after the wolves dispersed, so we scattered something on the ground and tried to puncture the car's tires and steal it.

“But the weather suddenly turned cold, so we had to leave.

“Then everything on the road disappeared, and we thought it was over. But now when we saw you coming again, we thought you were that car, and we got excited and took action.

"I didn't expect it... Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding..."

　Thanks to Qitian Cangran for the reward.
