Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 277 Don’t set up flags randomly
Lu Xi'an wasn't sure if the three red dots were preparing ants, but he was certain that the ones that needed to prepare ants were definitely among the three red dots behind them.

The three people on the map were moving very fast, and it was clear that two of them were Type A new humans, just like the long-legged man and the long-legged woman before.

The other one, naturally, was a Type C New Human, who was strapped to the back of one of the two Type A New Humans and was responsible for boosting the strength of the two Type A New Humans.

According to what the woman said earlier, there were two Type C new humans in this group, and the other one was their leader, Xuan Xiaocao.

Of the six red dots, Fungus Stone must be counted as one. And something as important as a red dot must be in the hands of the eldest brother, Xuan Xiaocao.

Therefore, the Type C new human among the rapidly moving red dots must be the previous "Old Duan".

Xuan Xiaocao, Junshi, and the other new human can be confirmed to be staying in the back, and should still be in the car.

Moreover, it is almost certain that the three people in front were just making a feint, their main purpose being to hold them back.

After all, the combination of two A-level players and one C-level player had already clashed with them before and suffered a crushing defeat.

Those guys probably still think their side is a formidable force, a top-tier team plus a strong one. So why would they bet on this rapidly approaching top-tier team again?
Their leader, Xuan Xiaocao, will definitely take action personally.

As for the remaining red dot, whether it's type B or type D depends on the specific circumstances.

If the three red dots appear together, it should be a type D. Types D and C work well together; a stealthy, surprise attack could produce excellent results.

But this doesn't work for Type B. If Type B can cooperate with Type C, the best approach is to draw attention to them from the front, making it easier for Type C to launch a surprise attack.

The problem is that the function of type B has now been replaced by the rapidly arriving type A and type C, so it is no longer very useful.

Therefore, if it is type B, the most likely scenario is that they will stay in the car to watch over it.

Unless the enemy is extremely extravagant and willing to abandon their vehicle and the supplies on it.

—Anyway, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei can't do that.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy might be willing to go all out, even if it means adding an extra cheerleader slot, to launch a full-scale attack.

"Yao Wei, you drive and hide first. I'll stay here and catch them."

Having made his judgment, Lu Xi'an spoke up.

But Yao Wei said urgently, "How can this be?! You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xi'an interrupted him.

Time was of the essence, so Lu Xi'an briefly shared his conjecture with Yao Wei, stating only the conclusion without explaining the basis for his judgment.

Yao Wei has always trusted Lu Xi'an's words implicitly. Even if Lu Xi'an didn't explain his reasoning, Yao Wei wouldn't have the slightest doubt.

Lu Xi'an himself was aware of this.

After quickly sharing his assessment with Yao Wei, Lu Xi'an said, "Now, if we want to win and survive, there's no other way."

"I can hold off those two for a while, no problem. The key to winning or losing this battle lies with you."

"You need to drive away, then find a sniping spot. Once you see the red dot on the Resonance Gene Scanner, which is currently stationary, start moving, have the dog control the car to hide."

"If one of the red dots remains stationary while only two move, get your sniper rifle ready, find the person coming from behind, and snipe them."

"If you move together, have your dog hide the car and then bring a drone to find you. See if it can scan for the invisible person. If not, the drone is your backup plan."

"Anyway, don't rush to make a move. The three I'm dealing with aren't the main focus, and it won't matter if you snipe them. The main focus is on Xuan Xiaocao, the leader that woman mentioned earlier. Her 'ants' are the ones who might cause us trouble."

"it is good!"

Seeing Lu Xi'an's response, Yao Wei didn't refuse further, only saying, "Be careful."

Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "Don't worry, I can hold out for a while. The key targets will be taken care of by you."

"Ah."

Yao Wei stopped the car and let Lu Xi'an jump out.

She got off the car and, together with Lu Xi'an, carried it into the field.

Both the RV and Yao Wei needed to hide, and they also needed to find a suitable sniping spot that could see this area, so naturally they couldn't continue along the road.

The road was on slightly higher ground, with two small ditches on either side, so they had to lift the car over the ditches to get it into the wilderness.

After parking the car, Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "It's a good thing those guys didn't think of this trick. If they had attacked from the wilderness, they might have caught up with us much earlier."

Yao Wei said, "They don't have dogs, so they might get a flat tire from something."

"Too……"

Lu Xian said.

The field was a mess, overgrown with weeds, and even a Type A new human couldn't see what was hidden underneath.

If something punctures a tire, the car is totaled.

Before, Yao Wei would always check the wilderness environment before leaving the road to enter the wild. But after having a dog, it became much more convenient, and she could do everything with the dog.

But those people didn't have any dogs, so how could they dare to blindly venture into the wild?
Lu Xi'an took a lot of things from the car, such as pebbles, batteries, discarded car keys, wrenches, screwdrivers, syringes, etc., and put them all on his body, stuffing his pockets full.

In the previous battle, they had almost run out of short needles, and they didn't have time to retrieve them. Now it's time for other hidden weapons to come in handy.

These hidden weapons were all collected by him one by one.

After filling the clothes, Lu Xi'an patted his pockets with satisfaction, then took out a heating pipe he had picked up earlier and tucked it into his waistband. He said to Yao Wei, "Alright, let's go. Those three should be here soon."

Yao Wei pursed her lips, then suddenly came over, hugged Lu Xi'an, and said, "Be careful."

"Yes, I know." Lu Xi'an felt a warmth in his heart, cupped Yao Wei's cheeks, and said, "Come on, give me a kiss."

He had said this to Yao Wei before, and Yao Wei already understood what he meant. Without saying another word, she immediately brought her lips to his.

Of course, it wouldn't be a deep or long touch. Time was of the essence, and the two only briefly touched before separating.

Yao Wei said, "After this battle is over, we..."

Lu Xi'an hurriedly covered Yao Wei's lips and said, "Don't make any promises before a fight, it's bad luck."

Yao Wei didn't understand what Lu Xi'an meant by "flag," but Lu Xi'an clearly meant for her to stop talking, so she shut up, nodded, and said, "Be careful."

They quickly got into the car and drove deeper into the wilderness.

Lu Xi'an took a deep breath and stood calmly on the road. A moment later, two figures suddenly appeared.

—Or rather, three.

Two of the three were a combination of the same person, whom Lu Xi'an had seen before: the long-legged man and the short, Type C new human, Lao Duan.

The other one was burly and muscular, with bloodshot eyes and bulging veins, just like the long-legged man. He was clearly also a Type A human enhanced by Type C.

Lu Xi'an waited patiently for the two men to approach before picking up two pebbles and shooting them out with a "whoosh".

"careful!"

The tall man quickly reminded the burly man next to him, and the two immediately stopped and moved aside to avoid Lu Xi'an's hidden weapon.

"I told you, this jerk loves to play this trick."

"That's what the long-legged man said."

"Thank you."

"That's what the burly man said."

Both of them had stopped and showed no intention of attacking Lu Xi'an immediately. Lu Xi'an could tell at a glance that this group was indeed trying to stall for time.

He was also happy with it.

The long-legged man said, "Where's your lover? Why are you the only one here?"

Lu Xi'an said, "Guess."

"..."

The long-legged man was silent for a moment, then said, "This is our second fight. Let me introduce myself. My name is Caitou, this is Lao Duan behind me, and this is Liangzi, you can call him Lao Liang if you like. And you, what's your name?"

Lu Xi'an said, "Kakarot."

The long-legged man said, "Are you kidding me? What kind of name is that long?"

Lu Xi'an said, "Then you can call me Old Ka."

The long-legged man said, "Alright, Old Ka. What about your lover? Did she go hide the car? What kind of car do you guys drive? How come it's so powerful, going so fast and still having gas?"

Lu Xi'an said, "We're out of gas too, so my wife carried the car away."

The long-legged man said, "So you really are alone right now?"

Lu Xi'an laughed: "What, do you think this is a good opportunity to make a move against me?"

The long-legged man said, "Don't worry, we won't attack together, we'll fight one-on-one." He then whispered to the burly man Liangzi, "You come here, I'll protect Lao Duan and also keep an eye on his lover."

"Damn it, you're starting to boss me around now,"

Liangzi said unhappily.

But he did as he was told, took out a steel pipe, gripped it tightly, and charged towards Lu Xi'an.

Lu Xi'an took out the heating pipe from his waist and said, "I have one too." Then he went to meet Liang Zi.

"when!"

The moment the two clashed, the steel pipe and the heating pipe collided and broke off simultaneously. Almost at the same time, they threw the parts they were holding at each other, dodging each other's "hidden weapon," and then grabbed the broken parts in mid-air and threw them out again.

They dodged again, then threw another punch, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they had been taught by the same master.

The two then engaged in a fierce fight.

On the road to the north, the van stopped shaking. Xuan Xiaocao got dressed and got out of the van, saying, "They're fighting. Get out of the van quickly, let's go."

The man sitting in the same row as her also got out of the car after putting on his clothes, and shivered from the cold. Then Xuan Xiaocao pulled him back, and he felt a little better after being exposed to the radiation from the fungal stone.

"What about this car?"

The man asked hesitantly, "There's a resonance gene scanner in the car, are we just going to leave it here? What if someone steals it?"

Xuan Xiaocao said impatiently and disdainfully, "Why do you still care about these things? You blockhead, you're really good for nothing except for that skin on your face and that two ounces of flesh underneath!"

After finishing his disdainful remarks, he said, "Didn't I already make that deduction for you? Those people's cars are better than ours, and they even have resonance gene scanners on them. We can just go over there and rob them. Isn't that better than this?"

The man dared not argue and quickly smiled apologetically, saying, "You're right."

Xuan Xiaocao said, "Alright, let's go. After we're done, we'll steal their car, and I'll take you for a spin in the new car. We'll enjoy ourselves to the fullest!"
