Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 279 Two Shots Decide the Fate

Xuan Xiaocao took a liking to Lu Xi'an at first sight.

Her henchmen said they wanted to deal with the woman who was hiding somewhere, and at that moment Xuan Xiaocao also wanted to deal with the man.

Of course, she wouldn't do it easily. After all, this man is a Type A new human.

She has always been wary of the Type A new humans because of their overwhelming physical abilities.

Even with her subordinates, she was still very careful.

Therefore, she never touches Liangzi and Caitou. Who knows if these two Type A new humans will suddenly try to kill her when they are in close contact with her?
Given their skills, Xuan Xiaocao was certain that she would be powerless to resist in that situation.

That's why Xuan Xiaocao chose this Type D new human under her command as her lover.

Even so, she would take extra precautions—whenever those two Type A new humans were around, she would have a large number of ants swarm around her when she was having sex with her lover.

If anyone else dares to approach her at this time, the ants will swarm her without hesitation and devour them completely.

—Yes, a flying pounce.

Those ants all had wings. That's why everyone else was so wary of her.

Now, if she wants to "get her hands on" Lu Xi'an, she'll naturally have to rely on ants.

She had it all planned out; she would make her move in a moment and send the ants to gnaw off the man's arms and legs.

He only left his body; everything else was still there. As a Type C new human, he could control what he needed to control. If he wanted to do something, it wouldn't be a problem.

Xuan Xiaocao realized the clever idea and unconsciously grinned. Her face was stern, and this smile was somewhat eerie, startling her lover beside her into holding his breath.

"boom--"

A loud gunshot rang out in the distance.

Xuan Xiaocao was just thinking about her wonderful plans when suddenly a spurt of blood shot out, and her lover next to her fell straight backward.

Xuan Xiaocao, who was thinking about something good, turned her head in surprise and realized that the invisibility effect had disappeared and she had been exposed.

She disregarded her previous thoughts and commanded the queen ant that was nestled in her hair, causing all the black ants in the eight bottles to fly out and head towards Lu Xi'an.

When Lu Xi'an heard the gunshot, he was playing "dodgeball" with Liang Zi. He glanced around and saw that the woman was still alive but the man was dead. He immediately disregarded Liang Zi and was about to shoot in their direction.

His actions immediately startled Liangzi and Caitou.

Cai Tou, no longer able to provide support from the sidelines, rushed forward and joined forces with Liang Zi to barely stop Lu Xi'an.

They could stop Lu Xi'an, but they couldn't stop Yao Wei.

……

"Wrong number."

Yao Wei said these words after firing the first shot from a small hill in the distance.

The dog was right next to her, as was the drone she had taken from the car beforehand, but they were all quiet and still, as if they hadn't moved.

The dog played a crucial role; it was thanks to the dog that the two people disguised with optical camouflage were spotted.

Unfortunately, the dog could only point out the exact location of the two people to Yao Wei, but it couldn't help Yao Wei determine which one was the Type C new human.

So Yao Wei could only try her luck.

Clearly, she wasn't very lucky this time.

However, it didn't matter, she had already prepared for bad luck. So when she saw that she had fired the wrong shot, she muttered something, immediately pulled the pin, and fired another shot.

"boom--"

Gunshots rang out across the land. A hint of astonishment flashed in Xuan Xiaocao's eyes before her expression froze. The large, gaping wound between her eyebrows seemed to be pushing her backward.

"Puff-"

The leader of this Jiangbei faction also followed her lover away.

The man-eating black ants suddenly lost control and completely enveloped the two dead people lying on the ground.

In no time at all, Xuan Xiaocao, the powerful boss who dominated Jiangbei, and his mistress were reduced to nothing but bones.

Lu Xi'an, Liang Zi, and Cai Dou, who were still fighting to the death, all caught a glimpse of this scene and were momentarily stunned.

Yao Wei seized the moment and, without hesitation, pulled the bolt and fired another shot.

"boom--"

The bullets fired from the gun went towards Lao Duan on Cai Tou's back.

However, this shot did not hit the target as well as the previous two.

Old Duan was tied to Cai Tou's back. Cai Tou, a Type A new human, was enhanced by Old Duan's abilities, making him incredibly fast and quick to react.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Cai Tou reacted immediately, dodging and jumping away, causing Yao Wei's bullet to miss.

However, this sudden change in speed was not so easy for Lao Duan to handle.

Old Duan was already churning inside the quilt, but could only force himself to endure it.

Seeing this, Yao Wei stopped firing, slung her sniper rifle over her shoulder, and charged out from behind the mound, heading straight for Liangzi and Caitou.

"You little rascal, watch yourself."

She didn't have time to say much, only reminding Gouzi once. Liangzi and Caitou were already panicked and had lost the will to fight. Seeing the woman hiding in the shadows charging towards them, Liangzi cried out, "How much stuff do you have left?!"

Then the two Type A new humans turned around and ran away at the same time.

However, to their surprise, the out-of-control ants, after devouring Xuan Xiaocao and her lover, were not satisfied and flapped their wings towards them, blocking their path.

The sky and the ground were teeming with man-eating ants, almost overwhelming the sky, making one's scalp tingle at the sight.

Liangzi and Caitou had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing this, Lu Xi'an had no choice but to retreat, but he did not distance himself from Liang Zi and Cai Tou.

Liangzi cried out in a panic, "Old Duan, quickly control those ants!"

Old Duan had no choice but to peek out from under the quilt and shout, "I know! I'm looking! There are too many ants, I can't find the queen ant right away!"

This is what I'm afraid of!

Of the remaining three, there is a Type C new human who is capable of regaining control of the ants. This large group of ants is clearly extraordinary, and if it were to fall back into enemy hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

—These were winged flying ants, flying at an extremely fast speed. They maintained a certain distance from Liangzi and Caitou, retreating while maintaining a stalemate, their speed was also incredibly fast, but the ants were still able to keep up.

If they had been any slower, they would have been overwhelmed by the flying ants.

These flying ants must have been regularly nurtured by Xuan Xiaocao using fungal stones.

This gave Lu Xi'an an idea.

In that case, if Luo Ping gets the fungus stone, can he use it to nurture some animals and make them auxiliary combat forces?
For example, that wolf, and that chicken in the flock that looks like it's wearing overalls—if they were trained, they might become very powerful.

But that's all for later. Right now, the most important thing is to kill Old Duan, this Type C new human, as soon as possible.

This person is the biggest threat as long as he is alive.

As Lu Xi'an retreated, he picked up things from the ground: pebbles, syringes, wrenches, and screwdrivers. These were all things he and Liang Zi had left behind during their previous "dodgeball battle."

Without pausing for a moment, Lu Xi'an picked it up and threw it at the turnip.

To be precise, it was thrown at Lao Duan on Cai Tou's back.

Cai Tou had to dodge desperately to prevent Lu Xi'an's hidden weapon from hitting Lao Duan.

Liang Zi quickly stepped forward to meet Lu Xi'an and started fighting with him, trying to entangle Lu Xi'an.

They also understood that the key to survival and victory now lay with Cai Tou.

Given Lu Xi'an's demonstrated strength, coupled with the Type A woman lurking in the shadows and the Type C new human who has never shown himself, they absolutely cannot defeat him.

Only by controlling the flying ants would they have the strength to fight against the group in front of them.

and many more!

Type C New Human!
They also have Type C new humans!
Damn it, how could I forget about this?!

Liangzi quickly shouted, "Let's stop fighting and give us a way out! We'll give you the ants, and let your Type C new humans collect them!"

He had two intentions behind his words: on one hand, he wanted to discuss making peace with Lu Xi'an, and on the other hand, he wanted to remind Lao Duan that there was competition for the ants and that he should work harder to control them.

Old Duan immediately understood and frantically searched for the queen ant among the flying ants.

However, Lu Xi'an's hidden weapons kept coming. Liangzi blocked one attack but couldn't block another. Cai Tou had to dodge left and right, swaying back and forth with Lao Duan.

Old Duan was dizzy and his vision was blurry. How could he possibly find the queen ant so easily?

At this moment, Yao Wei had already arrived.

Lu Xi'an immediately divided the tasks with Yao Wei: "You stop this one, I'll kill the one on the back."

Yao Wei grunted in agreement and, without saying another word, attacked Liangzi.

Her attacks were fierce, and Liang Zi could no longer afford to entangle with Lu Xi'an, so he focused all his energy on dealing with Yao Wei. Only then did Liang Zi realize that the woman in front of him seemed to be even more powerful than a man, and every punch, kick, and move was difficult to defend against.

—Or perhaps he was exhausted after a long battle.

But why doesn't that man seem tired?
Liangzi suddenly realized something and understood—damn it, the fungal stone must be on that man!
He couldn't help but glance at Lu Xi'an with eyes full of jealousy and hatred, but this glance made him turn pale with shock.

Once the man was free from his entanglement, he actually turned his attention to Old Duan on Cai Tou's back, throwing out a whole bunch of hidden weapons.

This barrage of hidden weapons wasn't thrown randomly; instead, they were launched in quick succession, flying from all directions and blocking almost all of Cai Tou and Lao Duan's movement.

"Uh……"

Such a comprehensive attack of hidden weapons was enough to catch even Cai Tou off guard, causing him to cry out in pain, let alone Lao Duan.

The syringe that had previously hit Liangzi's ear struck again, this time piercing the side of Lao Duan's head.

That side was positioned perfectly, right at Lao Duan's temple.

Kill with one blow.

Liangzi and Caitou immediately felt their emotions quickly recover from the excitement, and the blood flowing in their veins and the full strength in their muscles cooled down all at once.

Old Duan's ability failed, their speed suddenly decreased, and they were pounced on by flying ants.

Then it was submerged.
