Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 271 The Non-existent Third Enemy

The three people from Jiangbei seemed to think so too. After leaving the ice floe and running a short distance ashore, they suddenly stopped when they saw Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei still trailing behind them.

"Let's have another go at them here."

The woman suddenly turned around, staring hatefully at Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei who were rapidly approaching, and gritted her teeth, saying, "They deliberately led us to the ice, and they seem to be very good at fighting on the ice, so they arranged their Type C companions there in advance."

"They've really gone too far, chasing us all the way here without even bringing their companions! They're asking for it, so they can't blame us!"

"Makes sense."

The long-legged man also stopped, turned around, and spoke in agreement.

The person on his back, wrapped in a quilt, was panting heavily. Having been hit three times in a row and moving so quickly, he was under considerable pressure.

But the situation was urgent, and he couldn't afford to calm himself down. He forced himself to stay awake, suppressed his breathing, and said, "You decide what to do."

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were getting closer and closer, and would be right in front of each other in the next moment.

The woman said, "Let's stick to the old rules. Without Type C New Humans, they're nothing!"

"Makes sense!"

This time, the "makes sense" comment came from the Type C new human inside the quilt.

The moment he finished speaking, the smell of his sweat permeated the quilt and overflowed.

The long-legged man and woman's eyes turned bloodshot as they prepared to face the two Type A New Humans, who had been weakened by the Type C New Humans.

"boom!"

Their fists and feet clashed with tremendous force, just like before.

The long-legged man and woman were stunned. How could these two people, without a Type C Newtype behind them, still unleash such power?!
But the situation didn't allow them to be shocked. Unlike on ice, there were many places underfoot to stabilize their bodies and prevent them from sliding off.

After the four made contact, they immediately engaged in a fierce battle, giving each other no time to adjust.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fists and feet clashed, producing a series of muffled thuds.

The long-legged woman and the long-legged man were astonished to find that, after they started fighting, the two people in front of them seemed to have become even more difficult to deal with.

Every punch and kick they received was perfectly timed and rhythmic, blocking all their attacks and targeting their vital points, making them gradually unable to defend themselves.

Especially for the tall man, while he was dealing with the attack, he also had to be careful to watch out for what was behind him, to avoid the beautiful yet terrifying woman in front of him from hitting the blanket behind him with her fists and feet.

What kind of monsters are these?!
Wait... what are those three monsters?!
The people in front of them were beyond their comprehension. In their view, if Type A New Humans could exert such powerful combat strength, there must be Type C New Humans behind them.

That Type C new human must have been brought from the ice by these two Type A new humans.

Perhaps the person was extremely small, a dwarf, which is why they couldn't find him.

This is the only explanation the Jiangbei trio could think of.

"You're so strong on land, why did you lure us onto the ice?!"

The long-legged woman barely managed to respond, asking a resentful question.

Lu Xi'an said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that either."

He really didn't expect it.

He originally thought that since he and Yao Wei had specifically trained to fight in various difficult environments, they might be able to maximize their advantages and the gap between themselves and their opponents in the special environment of ice.

Little did they know that their fighting prowess would be even greater on the normal ground outside the ice.

Once they were locked in combat, their moves were incredibly swift and powerful. They no longer needed to think about each move; just like when they trained with Yao Wei, they could rely entirely on their instincts.

His body would naturally react to the enemy and to every move the enemy made.

Moreover, he and Yao Wei practiced themselves again and again according to the methods in the booklet of Institute 923, adjusting every detail of their attacks. When they attacked, their instincts could be brought into play.

In such a short time, he and Yao Wei could fight the enemy to a standstill against the Type A new humans who were empowered by Type C new humans.

As time went on, he and Yao Wei found themselves in a more advantageous position.

Every attack and every block was the most appropriate use of their own bodies, which allowed them to keep their bodies in optimal condition during the protracted battle.

This is completely different from those two Type A new humans who forcibly enhanced and overdrawn their own potential by relying on the pheromones of Type C new humans.

The two men were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

The long-legged man was starting to feel the strain and cried out, "Old Duan, think of something! Let's put them at a disadvantage!"

The man in the quilt on his back was the one he called "Old Duan".

During their high-speed battle, Lao Duan was thrown around so much that he felt dizzy, like he was on a roller coaster. Fortunately, he had been specially trained for this kind of situation and was already used to it; otherwise, he probably wouldn't even be able to speak right now.

"I've tried everything! It doesn't work! The Type C guy behind them is probably stronger than me; I can't control them!"

Even now, he still believes that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei are backed by a Type C new human.

The two Type A new humans thought the same thing.

"Find them! Quickly, find them! They can't possibly have anyone hiding on them!"

He shouted from under the covers, "They caught up so quickly, the type C one must be on them!" As soon as he finished speaking, the woman who had been fighting Lu Xi'an for a long time but couldn't break through suddenly glanced at Yao Wei.

Yao Wei was wearing an old red leather jacket, which was a bit too big and didn't really fit her. At that moment, she moved so fast that the jacket billowed out in the wind, making her look bulky.

It's on her!
The long-legged woman was certain that it was on her body, hidden in her clothes, or tied to her body!

Apart from this spot, there was really nowhere else on these two people's bodies that could hide.

Even so, this Type C Newtype is quite small!
The woman thought to herself.

She really didn't know the word "miniature," otherwise she would definitely have used "miniature" to describe it right now.

She glanced at it briefly before snapping back to reality, lest she be discovered by Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

The matter was accomplished in secrecy. They were already at a disadvantage; if his discoveries and intentions were discovered by these two beforehand, how could he possibly succeed?
"Old Duan! Give it to me!"

After taking Lu Xi'an's attack head-on, the woman adjusted her posture to make it easier to attack Yao Wei, and then suddenly shouted.

The three of them were already working in perfect harmony. As soon as the woman called out, "Old Duan" on the long-legged man's back knew what to do.

The woman's appearance changed in an instant. Her skin turned purplish-red, her eyes bulged and bloodshot, and her veins bulged.

The speed suddenly increased, and the hand formed a palm blade, heading towards Yao Wei.

She held back a little in this move, so she could change her strategy at any time.

Having faced Yao Wei before, she knew that Yao Wei would most likely dodge or parry her move.

But Yao Wei probably never imagined that her target was another person hidden within her.

After her brief exchange with the woman and her observations over the past few days, she had gained some understanding of the woman's movements and habits.

She was almost certain that as long as the woman reacted to her move, whether by parrying or dodging, her next move would ensure that the person hidden inside the woman would not escape.

"call out--"

The hand chops, creating a whistling sound that is sharp and piercing, as if the air itself is being sliced ​​apart.

Yao Wei sidestepped and dodged.

She did manage to dodge it!
Overjoyed, the woman immediately changed her tactics, using her other hand to perform a hand chop, like spinning a windmill, slicing upwards at Yao Wei's bulging leather jacket.

This movement made it look as if Yao Wei's billowing clothes automatically bumped into the woman's slightly raised hand.

"puff--"

Yao Wei dodged to the side, but her leather jacket couldn't avoid the woman's chop, and she was slashed by the chop.

Of course, Yao Wei didn't intend to hide.

She found it rather baffling; why was this woman behaving so strangely, as if she were specifically targeting her clothes?

Is this clothing really that good?

Then I'll have to cherish it more in the future.

All of this was merely a matter of Yao Wei's thoughts racing through her mind.

The woman, having just struck Yao Wei's clothes, had her expression change several times. From initial elation to astonishment, then disbelief, and finally paling and terrified, she turned around abruptly to see Lu Xi'an following closely behind, kicking her in the lower back.

"Uh--"

The woman's body folded over completely and flew out sideways.

"boom!"

There is a low hill in the distance.

Lu Xi'an's kick was so powerful that it sent the woman flying straight into the low hill, creating a deep crater that embedded her deeply within it.

The long-legged man suddenly stepped back, turned around, and instantly lost all fighting spirit. He shouted, "Old Duan, give it to me!"

Old Duan's voice came from under the quilt on the man's back: "I know!"

The next moment, the long-legged man's face also turned purplish-red, and his veins bulged.

He had no intention of fighting Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei anymore, and immediately took off running, already a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

Such speed is likely enhanced by the body's own survival instinct, making it many times faster than before.

Lu Xi'an said to Yao Wei, "You stay here, I'll go after them."

Then they chased after him.

However, he was just bluffing to scare the man.

At this speed, as if they were fleeing for their lives, Lu Xi'an was certain that she and Yao Wei would not be easy to catch.

If we keep chasing, by the time we catch up, it will probably be in a very far place.

If there are new humans in Jiangbei who help out, and I chase after them, I might get surrounded.

Instead of trying to scare them, I'll make them run faster and farther so that Yao Wei and I can get away from them as quickly as possible.

As he gave chase, the figure ahead indeed ran even faster, quickly disappearing from his sight. Only then did he turn back.
