Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 269 What are you talking about!

The dog had already steered the RV away, gradually disappearing from Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei's sight. Then, they could no longer hear any noise, and Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were relieved.

They need to hide the RV and the dog so they can focus all their efforts.

But once the dog drove the RV away, they could no longer hear the dog announce the distance of the approaching people.

Fortunately, the two had excellent hearing, and soon they heard a sound coming from afar, the sound of something rapidly approaching.

From the commotion, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei could tell that there were at least two Type A new humans among them.

There were three red dots, and the dog also indicated three energy sources, but the sounds that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei could clearly distinguish came from two separate, side-by-side sources that were not far apart.

In this situation, it's possible that one person is carrying the other, or it's possible that, like them, one of them is a fungus stone.

"Let's go out to sea."

As the whistling wind in his ears grew closer, Lu Xi'an immediately made a suggestion.

He and Yao Wei had specifically trained for fighting on ice, so they were very experienced. The enemy might also be familiar with fighting on ice, but if they hadn't received special training, they would have a significant advantage in terms of the terrain.

"It's ice."

Yao Wei gave a reminder, and as she spoke, she leaped over the ice flowers on the shore and jumped onto the ice of the sea.

"That's right, it's ice."

Lu Xi'an said with a laugh, and then jumped up as well.

They certainly didn't intend to just jump onto the ice floes and be done with it. The shore wasn't enough to give them an advantage, and it would make it easy for the enemy to use long-range means to confront them from the shore.

So after their feet touched the ground, they continued running eastward.

The frozen sea seemed to stretch endlessly to the east, and looking back, the shadows of three people could already be seen in the far northwest.

—There were indeed three people!
Two of them were running wildly, a man and a woman, both tall with exceptionally long legs and extraordinary speed; they were clearly both Type A new humans.

There was also a short man being carried on the back of a long-legged man running at full speed, seemingly tied up with ropes and secured with a support board at the back.

Therefore, he was pressed tightly against the back of the running man, so that he wouldn't break his neck due to the sudden acceleration.

The three of them also spotted Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei. Their target was indeed Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, so the moment they saw the two on the ice, they suddenly increased their speed by more than double.

The insane speed stirred up even the wind.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei even heard one of the men say in the chaotic wind, "They were here after all! We found them!"

He glanced back and saw two people running in the far distance with bloodshot eyes, ferocious faces, and bulging veins all over their bodies.

Because the seawater had just receded and a cold current had arrived, the ground was still a bit slippery, though uneven and bumpy, unlike the sea.

To maximize their speed and avoid the slippery road, the two men planted their feet firmly into the ground, their toes sinking slightly into the earth. With a push, they unleashed their maximum forward force, sending dirt, gravel, and ice shards exploding behind them.

They seemed to be stepping on a mixture of gray and white fireworks, rushing towards them like cannonballs amidst a series of booming explosions.

The shorter man on the man's back couldn't take the impact and had to squint his eyes, grit his teeth, and contort his face.

The speed at which that cannonball was launched was truly extraordinary. In just a few steps, the distance between the three people and Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei had been reduced to less than 500 meters.

However, Lu Xi'an did not panic, nor did he imitate the three people's actions.

He just wanted to go out into the sea more often, but didn't want to waste his energy on something like this.

He recalled the speed skating moves he had seen on TV in his previous life, bent over and skating forward quickly.

Without ice skates, they rely on their own strength and coordination to increase their speed.

"Follow me."

He told Yao Wei what was going on, and then glided eastward while keeping an eye on what was happening behind him.

Yao Wei followed Lu Xi'an very obediently, even mimicking his movements completely.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The people behind them were still rapidly approaching. When they reached the ice floes of the sea, they continued to do the same as before, chiseling with their toes and stomping with their feet, creating fireworks of ice shards that shot forward.

They caught up with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei after only three ice flowers exploded.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei felt they had reached their limit, so they stopped, turned around, and straightened up.

"Two Type A blood types, that's rare."

After the three stopped, the short man on the long-legged man's back took a couple of deep breaths and said.

Even though he was always being carried, he looked like the one who was the most tired.

As he spoke, he asked again, "What about the other one? Where did it go? Is it the Type-D? Can it turn invisible? The item is in his hands, right?"

Only then did Lu Xi'an get a clear look at the three people's overall attire.

There's not much to say about the two Type A new humans responsible for the raid, but this short man, who was tied to the long-legged man's back, was wrapped in a thick quilt from head to toe.

The wooden board was stuffed inside the quilt—or perhaps it wasn't a wooden board at all, but some other kind of board.

Anyway, his back was straight, and one glance was enough to tell that it was secured by a straight board. In this way, the board could stabilize his body, and the quilt could also cushion the impact, so that he wouldn't be killed like Yang Guan, who was suddenly accelerated by the Type A new human, Da Chang.

Judging from the outline of the rope binding, the man's two legs were tied to the waist loops of the long-legged man, fixed tightly, and the long-legged man was not afraid of the burden.

The quilt, the board, and the rope used for binding must have been extremely important supplies for them.

After hearing what the short man said, Lu Xi'an understood what was going on.

These people, or rather, these people from Jiangbei, must also have a resonance gene scanner in their possession.

They discovered themselves, Yao Wei, and Jun Shi through the resonance gene scanner, but mistook Jun Shi for another new human being.

However, the newly acquired fungal stones were still considered fungal stones in their judgment.

So, is the goal of this group that new fungal stone?

Could it be that these people's long-term visits to Caiyang Mountain for those pools are merely a facade, or perhaps Hu Xiaodong's intended purpose?

Their real purpose was that piece of fungus stone.

How did they know about that fungal stone before?
Lu Xi'an's mind raced, considering many possibilities, but she didn't answer the short man's question. Instead, she said, "Two type A, one type C..."

"Yes, two are type A and one is type C, you can see that too."

The short man sneered, "Looks like you spotted us a while ago. Why did you run? It was a waste of energy and time, what's the point?"

"What, you're not willing to hand over the stuff, and you want to spar with us? With me here, you've already lost in terms of speed. Do you think you can win in anything else?"

Yao Wei held a handful of short needles in her hand, frowned, and couldn't wait to start using them.

Lu Xi'an glanced at Yao Wei's expression and inexplicably felt that Yao Wei must be thinking, "What are they talking about? Why don't we just take action?"

I had told Yao Wei the story of Kuru venting his anger before, and Yao Wei quite agreed with the overpowered male protagonist's "What are you talking about?" style.

So, let's get started.

"what are you talking about!"

Lu Xi'an simply copied a line from the comic, threw out a handful of short needles, and then rushed forward to meet them.

The current environment is open and completely different from when we were at the 923 Institute base. The strategies we used back then are no longer applicable.

Lu Xi'an knew that with Type A against Type A, and the opponent having Type C new humans to assist them, his short needle could only cause some interference and wouldn't have much effect. So he went straight for it and decided to strike first.

Fortunately, he has now been trained in scientific methods and nurtured by two pieces of fungal stone, making him far superior to when he was at the 923 Institute base.

The same applies to Yao Wei.

Therefore, Yao Wei moved almost simultaneously with Lu Xi'an, also throwing out a handful of short needles, and then kneading her body.

"court death!"

The short man shouted angrily, then shrank back into the quilt, saying, "It's up to you guys!" The smell of sweat instantly wafted out from under the quilt.

The eyes of the long-legged man carrying him and the other woman instantly became bloodshot again, turning bright red, with bulging veins and a ferocious expression.

"Easy to say!"

The two finally spoke, bursting out suddenly. The woman went to meet Lu Xi'an, while the long-legged man carrying the short man went to meet Yao Wei.

—This was their own choice, and they even switched positions when they made their shots to match up against each other.

They must have felt that this positioning was more suitable. Judging from their actions, it was clear that the women among them exerted more power than the men.

That's why men carry shorter men on their backs, so that their strongest fighting power can be fully utilized.

They actually wanted to go head-to-head with Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei!

Of course, they had to go head-to-head. With the support of a Type C New Human, the combined power of the two Type A New Humans far exceeded that of a typical Type A New Human.

If you have absolute power, why not confront them head-on?
Moreover, the short man who huddled under the covers said "It's up to you guys" but it was just empty talk to deceive Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

The moment the five approached, the smell of sweat instantly filled Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei's noses.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei both felt a tingling sensation throughout their bodies. At the crucial moment when their fists and feet made contact, a violent and uncomfortable feeling surged into their will.

Both men gritted their teeth and met each other's fists at the same time, as if mountains had collided.

"boom!!!!"

This was the first time Lu Xi'an had ever experienced such a deafening roar from a fist striking another. The sound seemed to come straight from his bones, making his bones, muscles, blood vessels, and blood go numb.

If he weren't a Type A new human, that one punch would probably have turned him into mincemeat.

After the fists collide, they exert force on each other, pushing each other backward on the ice.

Due to the force, their sliding backward speed was even faster than a high-speed car race.

Before they even separated, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei had already seized the opportunity and flicked out another short needle.

Two Type A new humans who train and fight together every day showed such consistent combat strategies and such tacitly synchronized movements at this moment.

As they glided backward, the shock in the eyes of the two Type A new humans, a man and a woman, was easily visible beneath the short needles, as was the trembling of the long-legged man on the man's back.

The quilt covering the man trembled violently, but two short needles slipped through its opening.
