Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 274 Dream Reality
After killing the woman, Lu Xi'an simply dug a hole by the roadside and hastily buried the woman's body, which had lost its arms and legs.

Of course, this is also because digging a hole is not a difficult task for Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, and it doesn't require much effort.

Otherwise, they would absolutely not want to waste time here.

After burying the woman, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei got into the car and continued south.

It was still freezing cold, but the pursuers behind them could arrive at any moment, so neither of them dared to stop. They could only drive slowly and carefully forward.

"From now on, we need to keep a close eye on the resonance gene scanner. We need to be careful about when those people from Jiangbei will catch up with us."

After getting into the car, Lu Xi'an spoke to Yao Wei.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Let the dog keep an eye on things; it can remind us."

Lu Xian smiled.

This woman is much more skilled at using dogs than I am now.

"Okay, then it's up to you from now on, Doggy."

He smiled and said something to the robotic dog.

The mechanical dog's synthesized voice answered through the RV's audio system: "Mechanical Dog 02 is at your service."

The car wobbled and even slipped on some sections of the road.

Yao Wei struggled to control the RV, while Lu Xi'an kept a close eye on it. If anything happened to the vehicle, he would immediately get out and use his own strength to stabilize it.

He originally planned to go directly outside the car and follow her, so that he could react more quickly, but Yao Wei firmly objected.

The weather was so cold that the Type A new human woman from Jiangbei had been turned into a human stick by Yao Wei, and the wounds were quickly frozen, which is why there wasn't much bleeding.

Otherwise, Lu Xi'an probably wouldn't have been able to keep questioning her all the way.

Therefore, Yao Wei absolutely couldn't bear to let Lu Xi'an go outside and freeze. Yao Wei said that with their quick reflexes, they could get outside at any time, so there was no need to wait for them outside.

Lu Xi'an thought about it and felt that Yao Wei was right.

Previously, when they were on Caiyang Mountain, when the waves came, they were able to get out of the car in time and carry it away. Now that the situation is different, what difficulty could there be in getting out of the car immediately?
"Then you drive, and I'll make something to eat in the back."

Lu Xi'an said, "After such a fierce battle, we need to replenish our energy quickly. It would be terrible if the people behind us caught up and we couldn't exert our full strength without replenishing our energy."

"Ah."

Yao Wei thought Lu Xi'an's words made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

So Lu Xi'an jumped to the back of the RV and started cooking. He would glance at the resonance gene scanner every now and then, and only when the two red dots that had disappeared on it had not reappeared would he feel a little relieved.

Those two naturally refer to the long-legged man and the short man. The long-legged woman had already been completely killed and buried by him, so she naturally wouldn't reappear.

He made a "lazy man's meal"—simple to make, delicious, and nutritious, providing ample energy, perfect for eating after a high-intensity battle.

However, unlike his previous lazy meals, this one contained not only rice but also barley, topped with dehydrated vegetables, and diced carrots, potatoes, and eggplant.

If there's no fresh meat on hand, just cut up a couple more sausages and put them on top as well.

Crack two more eggs, pour on soy sauce, and simmer.

Everything was braised until tender and flavorful; one bite and you felt warm and cozy all over.

"Alright, let's eat."

By this time, quite some time had passed, and the resonance gene scanner still only showed four red dots; the ones that had disappeared in the distance had not reappeared.

After tasting the freshly cooked lazy meal and confirming that it was done, Lu Xi'an glanced at the resonance gene scanner and then called Yao Wei to come and eat.

"Okay, it's up to you now, Doggy."

Yao Wei said something to the mechanical dog and then released the steering wheel.

After she released the steering wheel, the mechanical dog took over control of the RV and drove the vehicle forward.

She has indeed become increasingly skilled at using the dog.

Lu Xi'an chuckled inwardly and started eating from the big pot with Yao Wei.

They've gotten used to eating this way now; it saves water when washing the pots and dishes, and they don't have to wash one more bowl.

Besides, they don't look down on each other, so it's fine.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Lu Xian asked.

"Uh-huh."

Yao Wei ate her lazy meal with gusto, nodding repeatedly.

Lu Xi'an said, "After we finish eating, let's take turns driving and rest. In case the enemy catches up with us again before we've fully recovered."

They came down from Caiyang Mountain overnight, and were then ambushed and fought by three new humans from Jiangbei. Actually, it didn't take long; the moon was high in the sky, and it was still late at night.

Moreover, having just experienced a battle, if they want to maintain their good condition, they need to not only eat well but also rest well.

This is the only way to deal with any crisis that may arise.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then said, "You go and rest first, I'll drive."

Lu Xi'an shook his head and said, "Go and rest."

Yao Wei wanted to argue again, but Lu Xi'an stared at her and said gently, "Be good, listen to me."

For some reason, Yao Wei's resolve suddenly wavered, and she only wanted to listen to Lu Xi'an. "Okay."

She nodded again, and after finishing her meal, she lay down to rest.

"I'll switch with you in a bit."

She spoke to Lu Xi'an before closing her eyes.

"it is good."

Lu Xi'an agreed, went to the front to sit down, grabbed the steering wheel, and took over the steering wheel. As he drove forward, he couldn't help but curse himself inwardly: "I was so damn slick just now!"

Continuing forward, Lu Xi'an would drive for a while, then look back every now and then.

He wasn't there to see Yao Wei, of course; he wanted to see the resonance gene scanner to confirm whether any danger had arisen.

But when looking back, one's gaze inevitably drifts to Yao Wei's face.

Yao Wei was sleeping on her side. When she was asleep, she was just as quiet as when she was awake, giving people a sense of calm and tranquility.

However, once she falls asleep, the hidden sharpness on her beautiful face will fade slightly, replaced by a touch of gentleness and charm, perhaps because she is dreaming about something.

We drove on, but the headlights were still off.

Even inside the car, it was pitch black, with only the map from the resonance gene scanner flashing with points of light.

Lu Xi'an used to cook in the dark like this. It wasn't difficult for them, the Type A new humans. He could still make out Yao Wei's outline in the dark, it was just not as good as when there was light.

Therefore, he and Yao Wei ate in the dark.

Lu Xi'an didn't know how long he had been driving. The ice on the ground was still there, so he couldn't drive very fast.

He felt that Yao Wei woke up after about three or four hours.

"It's your turn."

Yao Wei was still thinking about the shift change. After waking up, the first thing she did was come to the front and switch seats with Lu Xi'an.

Of course, when she passed by the table in the back garage, she would also glance at the resonance gene scanner.

After switching places with Lu Xi'an, Yao Wei gripped the steering wheel and said, "If we get to daytime and no other red dots appear on the Resonance Gene Scanner's map, we should be fine, right?"

"Maybe."

Lu Xi'an said, "However, we'd better be more careful and observe for a while longer."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded. Better safe than sorry; Lu Xi'an was right.

So Lu Xi'an went to bed and lay down to sleep.

The bed was still warm from Yao Wei's body heat, and it felt very comfortable to lie on. Lu Xi'an covered himself with the blanket and quickly fell asleep.

He even had a dream that their RV inexplicably gained the ability to travel on water.

Therefore, when they were on Caiyang Mountain, they left directly from Caiyang Mountain and drove to Dongdao with Hu Xiaodong and his son Hu Dong.

Then, as the only two new humans on the East Island, they ruled there, got married, had two sons, and continued to rule the East Island, becoming local emperors, living a wonderful life.

Of course, as the last remaining good people in this world, even if they become kings and tyrants, they will not enslave ordinary people or treat them as less than human, like other new humans.

Therefore, the ordinary people on the East Island lived a fairly good life following them, and they were all willing to be ruled by them, and even had to thank them.

Those days were truly wonderful!

Therefore, when Lu Xi'an woke up, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking that if they had really gone to Dongdao back then, perhaps they would have had such good days.

But how could that be? If they were going to find a place to stay, they wouldn't have left once they became the 923rd base.

Going to Dongdao Island was against his and Yao Wei's original intentions.

So what a lousy dream this is!
He muttered a complaint to himself, then threw off the covers and sat up.

It was already bright outside the car window, but in the cold weather, the sky was still a hazy gray, making it feel like it might snow at any moment.

I don't know how many days this cold wave will last.

Lu Xi'an wasn't sure whether this cold snap was a good thing or a bad thing for them at the moment. He glanced at the resonance gene scanner and saw that there were still four red dots on it. Slightly relieved, he got up and went to the front, asking Yao Wei, "How long have I been asleep?"

"do not know."

Yao Wei replied.

The dog, however, gave the accurate answer: "You slept for four hours and three minutes."

So sometimes dogs are more useful than people.

Yao Wei hadn't even confirmed how long she had slept.

"Now it's my turn, you go and rest."

Lu Xian said.

Yao Wei shook her head, indicating that she was not sleepy yet.

"Even if you're not sleepy, come on over. You go and rest."

Lu Xi'an took control of the RV from Yao Wei and sat down in the driver's seat.

Yao Wei had no choice but to move to the passenger seat. As she moved, she glanced back and suddenly said, "There are red dots again."
