Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 245 The Male and Female Duo Robbery

Yao Wei glanced in the direction of the high-voltage power plant and asked, "Can the sniper rifle go even further?"

There was no visible movement on the surface of the high-voltage power plant, but Yao Wei could still hear sounds coming from inside. There were people moving and talking, but the distance was too far, so the sounds were somewhat chaotic and unclear.

Based on those sounds and the images displayed by the resonance gene scanner in the car, she was now certain that the people inside the high-voltage power plant posed no threat to her or Lu Xi'an.

As long as the RV can stay away from danger, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her and Lu Xi'an to go in and explore.

But the prerequisite is that the sniper rifle is valuable enough to make them willing to take the risk.

Lu Xi'an said, "I can't be sure right now. We need to get our hands on that sniper rifle and take a look first. Anyway, a proper sniper rifle's range is definitely much greater than the distance we're currently at to that high-voltage power plant."

Upon hearing Lu Xi'an's words, Yao Wei was immediately intrigued and nodded, saying, "Yes."

If that's the case, when encountering enemies, if they know in advance that the enemy has Type C Newhumans, they can try to snipe the Type C Newhumans from a distance first, so that when facing other enemies, their threat will be greatly reduced.

It is definitely necessary to visit that high-voltage power plant.

Seeing that Yao Wei agreed, Lu Xi'an said to Gouzi, "Gouzi, you control the RV and hide. Then come pick us up when we come out. You can confirm whether we've come out or not, right?"

The dog replied, "Mechanical Dog 02 has been connected to the resonance gene scanner and can confirm your location through the scanning signal. Please rest assured."

Hearing Gouzi say that, Lu Xi'an felt relieved.

He thought for a moment and then added, "If necessary, you can command drones to take off for self-defense."

The dog replied, "Mechanical Dog 02 understands."

"Okay, let's go!"

At Lu Xi'an's command, the RV started moving without human intervention and drove away.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei waited until the RV was far away before they strode off toward the high-voltage power plant.

Throughout this time, they kept a close eye on the high-voltage power plant, paying attention to any activity inside. The power plant seemed somewhat chaotic, so they couldn't focus on Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei and didn't make a move in their direction.

The two did not take the path, but darted directly into the wilderness to the corner of the high-voltage power plant wall, and then jumped in.

They didn't even plan to go in through the main entrance. After listening at the base of the wall for a while and confirming that no one was on the first or second floor, they wanted to see if it was feasible to jump directly to the third floor from there.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

Lu Xi'an silently counted in his mind that the commotion on the third floor was varied, and it sounded like there were seven people.

The window frame above was broken, and the glass was long gone. The wind was howling in, making quite a racket.

Those people were walking, running, or making very soft rustling noises; it was unclear what they were doing.

There were still people talking; it sounded like they were fighting over a sniper rifle.

"Do you even know how to use this gun? You just want to steal it! Even if I gave it to you, could you shoot accurately?"

"As if you can hit a target accurately!"

"At least I'm better than you!"

"Then go ahead and fire another shot! That car is still outside, it hasn't gone far. One-Eye said this gun has a range of over two thousand meters, and it can still hit you now. If you shoot that car and the people in it, I won't argue with you anymore!"

……

They seemed to have forgotten that there was a sniper in the RV who could have killed them, or perhaps, seeing the RV drive away, they were inexplicably confident that the person who killed the sniper had left with the RV and wouldn't turn back to attack them. In their words, they didn't care about what was happening outside and only focused on fighting for the sniper rifle.

It was as if this sniper rifle was a symbol of power within this high-voltage power plant.

However, they all came to the same conclusion: the people outside were not to be trifled with.

Lu Xi'an then heard someone say, "What a joke! Do you think I'm as stupid as One-Eye? Those two are driving such nice cars, they're definitely not ordinary people. One-Eye dared to attack them; he's just asking for death!"

“I’m different. They killed One-Eye so easily, they must be a new human. I know very well that if I attack that car again and attract people, I won’t be the only one who will be doomed!”
"But you, who instigated me to take action and bring disaster upon everyone, what are your intentions?"

Another person said, "I, I, I... You're talking nonsense!"

The others chimed in, each holding their own opinion on who should own the sniper rifle. Generally speaking, most of them sided with the person who already had the gun, probably because they thought he was right.

After listening to this, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were certain of the information they wanted to know—

First, there's the gun. If, as the people inside say, it has a range of over two thousand meters, then it would indeed be extremely effective against Type C Newtypes.

Secondly, the people inside were indeed as they judged, there were seven people, and from their breathing and speech, it could be confirmed that these seven people were indeed ordinary people.

In that case, there won't be any problem with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei taking action.

"Speaking of which, there were two people in that car...were there two people?"

"Yes."

"There were definitely two people. I just saw them. Two people suddenly jumped out from the roof of the car, like ghosts. They appeared in an instant. I thought I was seeing a ghost."

"No problem, they must be two Type A Newtypes!"

"The Type A new humans are so cowardly. They were ambushed by us and they didn't even come to settle scores. These new humans probably aren't very capable!"

"That's right, that's right, they definitely don't have any real skills!"

"Look how fast their car went, it's practically gone. We actually managed to scare away a Type A Newtype, who would believe that!" "Hahahaha!!!!"

The people in the third-floor corridor started talking and complaining about Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

Without further hesitation, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei leaped up and landed on the windowsill on the third floor.

The two squatted down, holding short needles in their hands, ready to attack or defend.

The corridor suddenly fell silent. The seven people, some older, some younger, some male, some female, all had different appearances and builds, but no matter what, they were all stunned and terrified when they saw Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei. Their bodies were stiff and they dared not move.

Seeing this, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei did not use their short needles, but instead remained poised to strike.

The corridor was covered in blood, and a dead body lay in the pool of blood, presumably the sniper who had fired at the RV earlier.

Now the sniper is ignored; the sniper rifle has long been in the hands of someone else.

The sniper rifle is entirely black, with a long barrel and a very large caliber, giving the impression that it can shoot very far.

The gun was equipped with a scope that could magnify many times over, and the scope cover was already closed, so it seemed that he really didn't intend to attack Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei again.

The man with the gun was the strongest of the seven, his face a mass of wrinkles and flesh so thick it was hard to distinguish between them. His eyes were glaring like copper bells, giving him a fierce and intimidating look; no wonder he managed to steal the sniper rifle.

Even the most valiant man, upon seeing a man and a woman suddenly appear on the windowsill, lost all his temper and became as meek as a lamb.

Lu Xi'an waved to the man and said, "Bring it here."

The man shuddered and raised his sniper rifle high with both hands, not daring to point the muzzle at Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

He moved stiffly toward Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, and the others made way for him, allowing him to obediently reach the window and offer his weapon.

Everyone was so quiet and cooperative, as if they weren't the ones who had just been shouting and criticizing the Type A new humans.

"Click——"

Lu Xi'an reached out and took the gun, weighing it in his hand and feeling its weight.

Of course, that was for him in the past; now, this gun is less important to him than a piece of firewood.

matches.

The man who delivered the gun quickly left after handing it over.

The seven people in the corridor kept their heads down obediently, not daring to breathe, let alone look at Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

They just hoped the two thugs on the windowsill would grab the gun and leave quickly, but the thugs did the opposite. After taking the gun, they asked, "What other good stuff do you have? Give it to me."

The seven people exchanged glances, but no one made a move.

Lu Xi'an asked, sounding impatient, "Is there nothing left?"

The seven people immediately panicked. One of them hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes! It's in the room, I'll go get it right now!" The others quickly added, "Me too!"

After saying that, they scattered and ran off, some to the rooms on the third floor, some to the second floor, and some to the first floor.

When they returned, Lu Xi'an saw that they were carrying earth cakes, tree bark, some fruits that were so rotten that they were unrecognizable, and bones with some rotten flesh hanging on them.

These must be the reserve food stored by the people here.

In the past, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei would have definitely adhered to the principle of "better to have nothing than something bad" and accepted the food first.

But now that they have plenty of food, they look down on these things and don't want to take them.

However, something in the hand of one of the people caught Lu Xi'an's attention.

—The thing looked like a hand grenade, oval-shaped, exquisitely crafted, and with a pull ring on it.

The man trembled as he held the grenade, not daring to lay a hand on Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

"Give this to me."

Lu Xi'an gave a word, and the man obediently handed over the grenade.

Great, we've got a new hidden weapon. If used properly, it might have a surprising effect.

I never expected that besides a sniper rifle, there would also be a grenade here.

The person who took the grenade earlier went to the nearest room next to the third-floor corridor to retrieve it. Lu Xi'an guessed that it might be a throwing point. Judging from the direction, it was close to the main entrance of the high-voltage power plant, and the angle was also good. If someone came in from the main entrance and threw the grenade out of the window of that room, the effect should be good.

He immediately told Yao Wei to stay and watch over the room, then jumped out of the window, quickly walked past the crowd, and went to check the room.

Everyone quickly moved to the sides, standing close to the wall, not daring to get close to Lu Xi'an.

Unfortunately, Lu Xi'an searched the room for a while but found nothing. It seemed that there was indeed only one grenade in the room.

He came out of the room and asked again, "Anything else?"

Everyone turned to look at him cautiously. One person carefully raised his hand, holding a round object.

With its exquisite design and smooth surface, it resembles a commemorative medal or a refrigerator magnet.
