Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 266 Abandon Thinking, Respond to Instinct
Lu Xi'an felt that he and Yao Wei must be really good people in this world, otherwise they wouldn't have received so many "good person cards".

Actually, it's pretty good. In a world like this, if someone can still make others feel that they are a good person, it proves that they have been doing a good job of sticking to their principles and are still a decent human being.

He and Yao Wei did not linger there. They simply exchanged a few words with Hu Xiaodong and his son, asked them when they would be leaving, and then departed.

The father and son traveled by boat from Dongdao Island. After arriving at Caiyang Mountain, they didn't stay long before taking another boat out to sea to kill turtles. In addition, they had close contact with the fungus rocks, and by then they were already exhausted.

So they plan to rest here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning.

The two were prepared, having brought some dry rations to stave off hunger. They had left the rations on the shore when they took off their clothes earlier, so they weren't worried about food now.

They didn't plan to eat the seabirds that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei gave them; they only wanted to eat some dry rations and save the bird meat for when they returned to the East China Sea.

—Of course, this is also because they came across the sea without bringing a source of fire.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei let them be and didn't interfere. After driving back to the mountaintop, they didn't even want to eat and couldn't wait to go to bed.

They set the original fungal stone aside, lay on the bed, and together held the new pearl-white fungal stone in their hands.

They slept exceptionally well that night, holding the brand-new fungal stone. They didn't even have a dream, and fell into a deep sleep. When they opened their eyes again, it was already daytime.

"how do you feel?"

Lu Xi'an sat up, carefully assessed his own condition, and then asked Yao Wei.

Yao Wei also quietly sensed herself before answering Lu Xi'an, "It's very good, it feels better than that fungal stone."

"Yes, I feel the same way..."

Lu Xian said.

This fungal stone seems to suit them better, enhancing their strengths, especially in terms of physical strength, which is far superior to Chai Xin's fungal stone.

Of course, Chai Xin's fungal stone also improved their physical strength, but the problem is that the enhancement from the fungal stone is more balanced.

Their ability to withstand cold, hunger, and endurance has also been enhanced.

But this piece of fungal stone clearly doesn't.

This part seems to have abandoned all other enhancements, focusing instead on strengthening the various advantages of Type A new humans.

Are there different types of fungal stones, like A, B, C, and D?!

A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Xi'an's mind.

He simply asked the mechanical dog, "Dog, what's the difference between these two fungal stones?"

The mechanical dog replied: "Based on the data analysis of the resonance gene scanner, it can be determined that the old fungal stone structure is a polymer of strain X-17 of type D-1, and the core is a type D strain formed by the polymerization of type D-1 strain."

"The core of the new fungal stone is a type A strain, and the external structure is a polymer of type D-1 strain. Due to the long-term influence of the type A strain core, the external structure has undergone mutation."

Lu Xi'an understood: "So, these two fungal stones are indeed different. That's why the previous one was able to allow Chai Xin to evolve into a Type D new human, and the enhancement it gave us was more balanced."

"And this new piece, its enhancing effect on us is the greatest, isn't it?"

The robotic dog replied, "Yes."

Lu Xi'an's heart pounded, and he asked, "How could the type A bacteria be in this sea?"

The mechanical dog replied: "Mechanical Dog 02 cannot answer."

Lu Xi'an then changed his question: "What happened here before?"

The mechanical dog replied: "Mechanical Dog 02 has not stored the relevant information and cannot answer."

Lu Xi'an asked again, "Can this fungal stone be used to mass-produce Type A new humans?"

The dog replied, "Mass production is impossible. According to data analysis from the resonance gene scanner, the X-17 strain in the core of the fungus stone will produce a strong rejection reaction when it comes into contact with new humans who are not of type A, B, C, or D."

"This rejection reaction can cause rapid death in those who come into contact with it. Only a very small number of people are immune to this rejection reaction."

"The structure formed by the core of the type A strain and the shell of type D-1 will further enhance the rejection response, making the number of immune individuals infinitely close to zero."

Lu Xi'an then asked, "What if there's green water? The one on the top of Dongshan Mountain in Jianshan City, which you scanned before."

Dog's data analysis and processing capabilities are very strong. He immediately understood what Lu Xi'an was talking about and replied, "The green water you mentioned is only useful for the rejection reaction produced by the X-17 strain reagent."

"The core of the fungal stone aggregation has a density structure that is far stronger than that of the X-17 strain reagent, and its effect is also far greater than that of the X-17 strain reagent. It causes an rejection reaction that the green water cannot resolve."

"That's it."

Lu Xi'an nodded, feeling a pang of regret, but for some reason, he felt a sense of relief.

He turned to Yao Wei and asked, "Did you understand?"

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. We'll use this new one from now on."

Ok……

This woman's understanding is really quite simplistic.

Lu Xi'an said, "Let's use both."

Yao Wei raised her thin eyebrows and said firmly, "We still need to use the new ones. We can continue like before, holding them together when we sleep."

She thought Lu Xi'an was forcing her, planning to take the old one when she went to sleep and let her take the new one.

That's absolutely impossible for her.

Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "You misunderstood. I meant that we usually use new fungal stones to enhance our cultivation, and when we go out to fight, you take the new ones and I take the old ones."

"That way, if anything happens and we get injured, we can heal ourselves in time." "Okay."

Yao Wei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Xi'an say that, but she still insisted, "You take the new one, I'll take the old one."

Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "Alright, alright, we'll talk about that later. Let's be casual. There's no point in arguing about everything."

However, he was actually somewhat touched. This woman always wanted to keep the best for herself, just like he did.

The two got out of the car, ready to exercise.

They glanced at the sea and saw the rising sun casting the shadows of a boat and two people, slowly drifting away into the distance.

The sea surface rippled gently, reflecting a shimmering red light, causing the boat to sway slightly, but it was actually quite stable.

Before long, the two people were getting further and further apart, and the boat, along with them, became a tiny dot.

"They're gone."

Lu Xian said.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded.

Lu Xi'an said, "After we finish our exercise, let's drive down the mountain to the north. The seawater should recede in a few days. Once it recedes, we'll leave immediately."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded again, having no objection to Lu Xi'an's arrangement.

So the two of them started exercising.

When you exercise, the different directions and intensities of the strengthening of the two fungal stones become increasingly noticeable.

They strengthened themselves overnight with the new fungal stones, feeling their bodies grow stronger and stronger, to the point that their willpower couldn't keep up with their bodies.

During hand-to-hand combat practice, they sometimes relied entirely on instinct; whether attacking or defending, their bodies would move before their thoughts even formed.

However, this feeling seemed quite good. As their bodies gradually became accustomed to the correct swinging and exertion postures, they surrendered their bodies to instinct and unleashed power that far surpassed that achieved through their thoughts.

Of course, this is on the premise that the body gradually gets used to the correct way of exerting force.

Only in this way can the greatest strength, speed, and attack power be unleashed.

He never expected that abandoning thought and surrendering everything to instinct would be so effective and make fighting so comfortable.

So, is the ultimate goal of the evolution of Type A new humans to abandon the brain?
He couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

However, Yao Wei didn't seem to like this too much; she frowned as she played.

Lu Xi'an paused for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Wei pondered for a moment and then said her thoughts: "I've figured out how to fight you, how to avoid vital points, block attacks, and strike you, but my body always moves faster and is beyond my control."

"Isn't this wrong? But why do I feel like I'll lose to you based on my thoughts, but when I move my body, I can fight you back and forth?"

She still didn't like this feeling of losing control over herself, but the problem was, this loss of control seemed to make her stronger.

This was completely different from what she had always believed, leaving her feeling confused.

Lu Xi'an thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'm the same way. I think we haven't actually lost control of ourselves, it's just that our bodies have learned to think for themselves."

"Think about our fight. When we exert force, punch, kick, and control our muscles, aren't we still doing it according to what we trained for before?"

"It's not like when we hug and kiss, when everything is given to desire."

"When fighting, at crucial moments, whether to continue fighting or retreat is still within our control."

Well, what he was just mentally complaining about was the ultimate goal of Type A new humans' evolution: giving up their brains. This was something he absolutely couldn't tell Yao Wei.

After listening to Lu Xi'an's words, Yao Wei thought about it carefully and then said, "Then let me compare them."

Ok? !

Lu Xi'an was slightly surprised, and then Yao Wei pinned him against the wall.

"Boom!"

His head hit the exterior of the RV, but it didn't hurt much. He didn't care about the pain and immediately hugged Yao Wei, giving her the most enthusiastic response.

Then, part of the response was blocked by a hand.

Ha! This woman is no different now than when she's fighting; she's controlling her actions perfectly, quite rational!

Lu Xi'an thought bitterly, "I might as well treat this as the fight we just had and let my instincts take over."

After a long while, the only connection between them was a thin, crystal-clear thread. Lu Xi'an looked directly into Yao Wei's eyes and saw the watery ripples in them.

"It doesn't seem any different..."

Yao Wei said this.

Lu Xi'an: "Then why don't we just exercise like this all the time?"

"But it won't work, will it?"

Yao Wei said, "If it works, we can give it a try."
