Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 309 Yao Wei's Battle

"Type C..."

Yao Wei murmured something.

The current outcome is already quite clear.

The enemy coming from the southwest was not a Type A new human, but a Type C new human.

Moreover, this Type C new human is somewhat special—he can control animals from such a distance, which is not recorded in the book.

That person may have used methods they were unaware of. There are people in this world more capable than Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin, and they always have methods they don't know about.

Now that they've encountered it, they have no choice but to face it head-on.

"Attention! New humans have been spotted to the southeast and are approaching at high speed. Please be careful."

The dog's synthesized voice started playing again through the RV's stereo.

Yao Wei's gaze sharpened.

Sure enough, another red dot appeared on the map of the central control screen, coming from the southeast.

To be precise, it comes from the lower reaches of the Guanhai River, flowing upstream along the riverbed.

The trajectory and speed were the same as the red dot they had seen when they headed south.

However, this new type A human probably won't go to the disease village again this time.

Their target might also be themselves and Lu Xi'an...

Based on Lu Xi'an and her previous deductions, Yao Wei felt that this red dot was not the same as the red dot that had stopped on the south side of the road. After all, the location where they appeared, plus the sick village in the middle, seemed to be in a defensive posture towards each other.

But who knows if something unexpected might happen?

Anything is possible. Their deductions have already encountered one unexpected event, and it's not impossible for another one to happen.

Therefore, we cannot allow these two red dots to merge!

Yao Wei immediately made up her mind without needing to discuss it with Lu Xi'an.

Now is not the time to discuss this. Lu Xi'an is still outside dealing with those hyenas and has no time to discuss it with her.

Once she is exposed, she will lose the initiative to deal with the Type C new human who is staying outside the highway.

"Dog, help me find someone."

She said something to the dog.

The dog replied, "Mechanical Dog 02 is sincerely at your service."

She immediately pulled the mechanical dog out of the car, carrying the dog in one hand and the sniper rifle in the other, along with a handful of pebbles and some small parts that Lu Xi'an had saved up for use as concealed weapons. She then jumped out of the car.

He crouched on the hilltop and glanced at the road. Lu Xi'an had already thrown away all the glass shards from the drawer box. It was unclear whether he had thrown them piece by piece by hand or simply scattered them like a fairy showering flowers.

Anyway, by now, all those hyenas had more or less glass shards stuck in their bodies, many even in vital areas, but they were basically still alive.

Yao Wei only saw a corpse on the ground, its head smashed to pieces. It must have been that someone hadn't been prepared beforehand, pounced on the enemy, and was then killed by Lu Xi'an.

These hyenas are different, and the Type C new human behind them is different too. Their strength has exceeded the limit; if it were the old him and Lu Xi'an here, they would definitely have been sent to their deaths.

—Their physical strength far exceeded that of the ones she and Lu Xi'an had encountered before.

Otherwise, the consequences for these hyenas would have been completely different if they had encountered the glass shards thrown by Lu Xi'an.

They would only be pierced and blown apart by glass shards. How could they possibly have glass shards embedded in their bodies and not die even if they were pierced into vital organs?
Now that the hyenas have witnessed the fate of the first dead hyena, they have learned their lesson and no longer dare to charge forward to confront Lu Xi'an head-on.

There were originally eleven hyenas, but now one is dead, leaving only ten.

They had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly, surrounding Lu Xi'an from all sides. Some were feigning attacks in front to distract him, while others were waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Lu Xi'an was in the middle of it all, rushing left and right, but he couldn't break through. He used the drawer box as a weapon. With his strength, if he hit one of the hyenas, he would definitely smash the drawer box to pieces.

The problem is that the hyenas are alert and quick-witted, always ready to retreat, so the drawer box never manages to hit them.

The situation reached a stalemate. The encirclement always seemed to revolve around Lu Xi'an, like planets orbiting the sun, rarely intersecting.

Yao Wei saw this and was anxious. She had an urge to immediately step forward and face the situation with Lu Xi'an.

But she forced herself to suppress it.

She knew very well that with the hyenas' tactics, if she joined them, she would likely be surrounded along with Lu Xi'an.

If they can break through the encirclement, that's fine; if they can't, then they'll be stuck inside, fighting the hyenas to the death.

So she only glanced at it before suppressing her impulse, pressing herself down, searching for cover along the roadside, and speeding south.

"Drones are following suit too."

She remembered something, and just to be on the safe side, she told the dog again.

So the drone took off from the RV, flew low beside Yao Wei, and headed south with her.

"Doggy, point out those insects you mentioned when you see them on the way."

Yao Wei suddenly said.

As the saying goes, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. The dog had mentioned insects in the car before. Yao Wei wasn't sure if those insects were related to the Type C new humans, but what if they were?

"If possible, we can let drones handle it."

she added.

The dog didn't respond, but then the drone flying next to her suddenly started shooting lasers.

The laser emitted no sound; Yao Wei could only see streaks of light of indescribable color burst forth in an instant, and then the places illuminated by the light would be filled with a burning smell.

Yao Wei moved forward quickly, with the drone following behind her. The flashing lasers looked like they were launching the One Finger Divine Skill or the Six Meridians Divine Sword from a TV drama, appearing and disappearing in an instant. The ground was scorched with pits, and some tree trunks were even pierced with holes.

After passing this section, the insects all disappeared. It seemed that they were all concentrated in one part of the road, and there were none to be found either forward or backward.

These insects were indeed problematic.

Yao Wei thought to herself.

However, she couldn't think of any specific problems or what role it would play at the moment. She also didn't have time to think about it.

She continued forward, and not far along, the light in the dog's eyes suddenly shone brightly, but it didn't point directly to any particular spot.

Yao Wei guessed that this was the place, not far from where the red dot on the map had stopped.

The dog probably didn't shine the light from its eyes in front of the new humans in the distance, so it just flashed it at close range to let Yao Wei know.

Dogs are so smart, that's great!

Yao Wei admired it in her heart, bent down and set up the sniper rifle, looked for the direction, glanced at it, and then put her eyes behind the scope to take a closer look.

Then she saw a magnificent tiger.

That tiger also looked somewhat unusual; it was a bit bigger than an ordinary tiger.

It seems that the Type C new human has quite a few treasures under his command.

—For Type C new humans, any animal under their control is their treasure.

This creature is clearly on a mission to protect the Type C Newtypes.

There was a tree on the side of the road where Yao Wei's sniper rifle was pointing, and the striped tiger kept circling around that tree.

Judging from the situation there, there seems to be nowhere else to hide.

Is it behind the tree?

Yao Wei made her guesses, but she wasn't in a hurry. She looked around through the scope again, and only after seeing nothing did she aim at the tree again.

The tiger is still lingering.

"Dog, is it behind the tree?"

Yao Wei asked a question. If it's behind a tree, you can estimate the height and shoot directly at the tree trunk.

With the penetrating power of this sniper rifle bullet, hitting that tree should be no problem at all.

But the dog's eyes flickered twice.

Yao Wei: “…”

In that case, this method won't work.

Yao Wei glanced at the tiger.

"Dog, there are a few live creatures over there, flash the light a few times."

She spoke to the dog again.

The dog's eyes blinked three times.

This means that, besides the tiger, that Type C new human also had a "treasure".

As for the new humans who travel upstream along the river in the southeast, they won't have enough time to catch up.

Time is limited, so we must hurry up and get started.

Yao Wei immediately made up her mind, aimed at the tiger's head, and pulled the trigger.

Hopefully, this tiger isn't as strong as those hyenas.

As she pulled the trigger, that's what she thought.

She only wanted to quickly reduce the number of Type C new humans in front of her, and then rush over to find the remaining two to deal with.

This is the only way to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, firstly to avoid any accidents happening to Lu Xi'an, and secondly to prevent the new humans from the Guanhai River from arriving and merging with this Type C new human.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out, the striped tiger's head exploded, and it collapsed to the ground.

fine……

Yao Wei thought to herself.

It seems this tiger is indeed not as strong as those hyenas.

That makes things easier.

Yao Wei put down the gun, grabbed Gouzi, and rushed towards the tree, shouting as she ran, "Gouzi, point it out to me!"

The dog reacted immediately, its eyes shooting out two beams of light.

To Yao Wei's surprise, the dog's eyes were still fixed on the tree.

This robotic dog clearly said before that the Type C Newtype wasn't behind the tree!
However, Yao Wei couldn't care less about that now. What if that person had hidden behind the tree again?

She rushed forward, took out three pebbles, and hurled them at the tree.

"call out--"

Three pebbles, aligned in a straight line, crashed into the tree with lightning speed.

"Click——"

The tree trunk broke, and the upper half of the tree fell at an angle toward Yao Wei.

But there was no one behind the tree.

Yao Wei was slightly taken aback.

She rushed over, and when she reached the tree, she finally saw what was behind it—

Behind that tree, there was a hole that went straight down and was pitch black.

Yao Wei then realized that when the dog looked over, its eyes were pointing diagonally downwards.

It's a mouse!
