Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 301: The Video Left for Humanity, The Video Left for Yao Wei

The video quality was not as good as the photos, and it was a bit shaky at first. Yao Huo held it and placed it somewhere that could show the vast ocean in the distance, the coastline that was slightly exposed by the sea, and the hull of the return capsule.

By this time, some time had passed since they landed on Earth, the seawater had begun to recede, and the land was being revealed.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei saw some familiar yet unfamiliar landforms.

It feels familiar because it resembles the outside world, but it feels strange because so much time has passed and the vegetation and environment have changed a lot.

Therefore, everything that comes into view is different.

Yao Huo fiddled with the recording equipment for a while, then took a deep breath and spoke very solemnly to the camera:

"The solar panel broke down, and this is the last bit of electricity we have. We decided to record this to leave something useful for humanity—if there are still humans left."

Yao Wei's mother, Ye Wenxin, stood quietly not far away, seemingly blending into the blue sky, sea, breeze, and white clouds in the background.

Like Yao Huo, she looked quietly at the camera, her expression calm and serene.

Lu Xi'an looked at the screen, somewhat impressed.

From what Yao Huo said in the video, he could roughly understand that the two people who suddenly appeared in the video were also in dire straits.

The world is vast and boundless. They returned from the heavens, truly a sight to behold, unparalleled in history.

The ocean stretched to the horizon, and humanity was nowhere to be found. Yet, even so, they maintained their composure and waited calmly.

awesome!
Lu Xi'an guessed that Yao Wei was born after the sea had completely receded and the land had reappeared.

Otherwise, if they were to have a child amidst the vast ocean and at their wits' end, it would be too cruel to that child.

Judging from these videos and photos, the records on the chip, and Yao Wei's account to her mother, Yao Wei's parents should not be those kinds of people.

Moreover, judging from the timeline, this should be the case.

Continue watching the video.

In the video, Yao Huo slowly backed away until she was next to Ye Wenxin, and then they stood face to face.

"here we go."

Yao Huo spoke up.

"Ah."

Ye Wenxin looked directly at Yao Huo and nodded.

Then the two of them started moving at the same time, not very fast, their fists and feet colliding, like a coordinated dance.

Are they practicing together?

Lu Xi'an frowned and exchanged a glance with Yao Wei.

Looking at the video again, Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin are still performing some kind of rhythmic "kung fu dance".

The two people, who had already become Type A new humans, were moving so slowly, it felt like they were deliberately accommodating the camera lens to avoid the camera being unable to capture their movements.

Or perhaps it was deliberately slowed down for the people in front of the camera.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei watched intently for a while, observing the entire duet "dance" from beginning to end, and gradually discerned the clues—

This is similar to the exercise methods they learned from the booklet.

However, the booklet only shows individual training methods, and the movements look much simpler than those in the video.

The movements Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin performed in the video were more than twice as intense as those in the booklet, and many of the movements could only be done through coordination.

Lu Xi'an felt that the two people were torturing him in concert. His body was deformed as they pulled him, his muscles changed, his blood vessels bulged, his face turned red, and his breathing became heavier. This was enough to show how much of a burden this set of actions placed on the body. Even for two new humans, it was difficult to bear.

However, this should have an effect on their bodies, increasing their physical strength, right?
Otherwise, why would they torture themselves so desperately?

Could this set of two-person movements, based on the training method of Type A New Humans, be an advanced technique for Type A New Humans training?
Therefore, Yao Wei's parents, Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin, are both Type A new humans. They figured out this exercise method on their own.

"call……"

The two people in the video separated and both breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ye Wenxin said, "Hurry up, exercising so slowly is really too tiring."

"it is good."

Yao Huo nodded and said.

So the two people in the video started moving again, repeating the same moves, but at a speed many times faster than before, to the point that the recording equipment couldn't capture them. They became two afterimages in the video, sometimes separating, sometimes intertwined.

Lu Xi'an confirmed that the main content of the video was this action demonstration. Just as he was about to ask Yao Wei if she wanted to try it tomorrow, he suddenly heard Yao Wei say, "Mom seems to have taught me these moves before..."

"Is it?"

Lu Xi'an widened her eyes slightly as she looked at Yao Wei.

"um, yes."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "I was too young back then, and the moves were too difficult. I only practiced a few moves before I couldn't continue, so I don't remember them very clearly. I only remembered them now when I saw this video."

"My mom wanted me to train with her, but after I tried a few times, she was afraid to let me continue, worried that I would hurt myself. She said we could do it when I'm older..."

But she didn't live to see you grow up, did she?

Lu Xi'an guessed what Yao Wei hadn't finished saying and sighed inwardly.

These training methods specifically designed for Type A new humans were likely improvements upon the Type A new human training manual. Based on the time Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin landed on Earth, the war had already broken out by then.

The information Lu Xi'an had previously come across indicated that various types of X-17 strains had become widespread during the war, and the only factor restricting the emergence of new types of humans was the natural rejection reaction of the human body.

Even improvements are very difficult to make.

Lu Xi'an didn't know what Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin were thinking or how they made their choice to save the last bit of battery power in the recording equipment for this set of moves. In any case, this set of moves was completely useless to most people and only caused harm.

Only these Type A new humans can adapt to the intensity of the movements.

—Even so, one must have great willpower to endure the pain during training and cooperate with a partner to complete it.

Before recording the video, Yao Huo said that this was something useful they left for humanity, but in the end, this little thing ended up in their daughter's hands. Lu Xi'an didn't know if this was fate, but from Yao Wei's eyes as she watched the video, Lu Xi'an knew that she cared about it very much.

The rapid and sharp movements in the video suddenly stopped, indicating that the recording equipment had run out of power, and thus the video ended there.

But Yao Wei seemed to still want to watch, so she clicked on the video again.

She probably wanted to see more of her parents' faces and voices through this video.

Lu Xi'an didn't disturb her, and silently walked away to cook three ears of corn.

After cooking, I took one of the pieces, got off the vehicle, and knocked on the door of the return capsule.

Inside the return capsule, Dao held his breath, but Lu Xi'an could still hear his heartbeat.

"it's me."

Lu Xi'an spoke up, and the boy breathed a sigh of relief, continued breathing, and came over to open the door.

Lu Xi'an stuffed the corn into Dao's hand and said, "Here, have some of this tonight to fill your stomach. Also, remember, don't put those things on the ground inside into your mouth, they're poisonous."

Dao paused for a moment, then took the corn and said, "Th...thank you, you...you're a good person! You're all good people!"

The kid finally voiced his thoughts, and Lu Xi'an smiled; he had finally heard such praise again.

If the "Good Guy Card" had a physical card in this world, he would surely become a master card collector.

"have a rest."

As he spoke, he helped Dao close the door. After a moment of silence inside, the sound of him wolfing down corn could be heard.

That kid will probably eat every last corn cob...

Lu Xi'an thought to himself. He went back to the car, took out the other two ears of corn from the pot, and gave one to Yao Wei.

Yao Wei then came to her senses, glanced at Lu Xi'an, took the corn and silently ate it while continuing to watch the video playing on a loop on her laptop.

"Shall we try practicing tomorrow?"

Lu Xian asked Yao Wei.

"okay."

Yao Wei agreed.

After finishing her corn, Yao Wei finally stood up and left her laptop.

She was going to clean up the pot that was still on the fire.

Normally, Lu Xi'an wouldn't need her help, but at this moment, Lu Xi'an only wanted Yao Wei to get out of her immersion in the past, so she didn't compete with Yao Wei for it.

Unexpectedly, after cleaning up the pot, Yao Wei sat down in front of her laptop again.

She watched those videos, which played over and over again and were incredibly monotonous without any plot, with great interest, as if she would never get tired of them.

Aren't you going to sleep?

Lu Xi'an asked her.

She shook her head and said, "I'll watch for a little longer, you go to sleep first."

"alright."

Lu Xi'an said something and got into bed.

But even with his eyes closed, he couldn't fall asleep, and he wondered if it was because he hadn't watched a movie before bed that night.

He tossed and turned for a while, then his gaze suddenly fell on Yao Wei, who was sitting on the sofa. He got out of bed, went down to the sofa, and sat down next to Yao Wei.

Yao Wei paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Xi'an and asked, "Didn't you go to sleep?"

Lu Xi'an said, "If you can't sleep, I'll watch it with you."

"Um……"

Yao Wei said softly.

The night wind blew outside the car, but it couldn't penetrate the car at all.

The moonlight outside and the lights inside the vehicle were completely blocked by the RV and the partitions on the windows, making the inside and outside worlds so distinct.

Lu Xi'an gently put his arm around Yao Wei's shoulder, and Yao Wei naturally leaned towards Lu Xi'an, resting her head on his shoulder.

Their eyes remained glued to the video on the laptop, never looking away.
