Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 312 Good Guys
A slap can always bring clarity to a person's mind.

After being slapped countless times, this Type C new human, whose cheeks were swollen high, finally behaved himself.

Lu Xi'an let out a soft breath and said, "You've finally quieted down. You know, slapping you isn't easy. I had to control my strength and be careful. It's much harder than killing you."

The Type C Newhuman in his hand trembled, while the Type B Newhuman outside the pit twitched at the corner of his eye.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei each carried a Type C new human and a strange "rat" that had been crushed to death in the pit, and then jumped out of the pit.

Lu Xi'an said, "You watch over them, I'll go get the car."

After learning some things from this Type C new human, he had some questions he needed to ask the dog, and he needed the dog to speak.

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed.

Lu Xi'an then abandoned the Type C new human and headed north with the dog in his arms.

Yao Wei frowned as she looked at the two living people in front of her. She felt uneasy about their seemingly "unharmed" appearance.

The Type C new humans have only just begun to emerge and don't know much about Yao Wei yet, while the Type B new humans have already spent some time with this silent woman.

Although the woman did nothing during this time, the Type B new humans were on tenterhooks and somehow managed to figure out some key points.

Seeing Yao Wei frown, his heart suddenly pounded, and he became alert.

Then he felt a blur before his eyes, a burning sensation on his face, and a pungent, fishy smell assaulting his nostrils, while endless, mournful wails echoed around him.

Compared to this wailing, the hissing he had been enduring earlier was nothing at all.

He turned his head in alarm and saw that the arms and legs of the Type C new human next to him had been severed, with blood gushing out, a gruesome sight.

Seeing this man, who was originally his enemy, in this state, he didn't feel much pleasure, but rather terrified and even felt a little empathetic.

He looked at Yao Wei in utter horror, only to see that Yao Wei had somehow pulled out a small knife.

The knife was covered in blood, clearly indicating that it had just performed a useful task.

Yao Wei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your abilities should be able to stop the bleeding."

The pheromones of Type C Newhumans can directly affect their own bodies. Once they reach a certain level of maturity, they can bypass mental will and directly cause the body to produce some hemostatic effects. This Type B Newhuman also knows that he had worked with his current enemy for a period of time.

He saw the Type C new human's lips trembling and his forehead covered in cold sweat. He nodded with difficulty, and then the blood gushing from his shoulder and groin suddenly stopped, and his face turned pale.

Seeing Yao Wei looking at him, he hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Wait! I'm a good person! I'm a good person!"

These words came out of his head without thinking, and as soon as he said them, he felt like he was doomed.

In this damned world, how many people actually care about being a good person?! What's the point of claiming to be a good person?!
It would be better to say that she is a woman without testicles or penis; at least that would be more intriguing and pique the curiosity of the woman in front of her.

Maybe if they find it strange, they'll stop for the time being, and I can stall for time and try to come up with some ideas to ask them to spare my arms and legs.

Unlike now!
Just as this Type B new human was falling into despair, the woman in front of him suddenly stopped.

"Good guy?"

Yao Wei glanced at him and asked.

The Type B new human was both bewildered and overjoyed that his random remark had actually worked!

What's going on? !

But he didn't dare hesitate and quickly continued, "Yes! Yes! I'm a good person! I'm different from them! I just couldn't stand them eating their own kind, that's why I defected from Northern County!"
"And then I arrived at the village of Binghao—you know Binghao Village, right? I built a village downstream..."

Yao Wei nodded.

The Type B new human gradually sorted out his thoughts and let out a long sigh of relief.

He continued, "In our village where people have recovered from illness, even ordinary people don't eat it anymore!"

Yao Wei frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more, only saying, "Then wait a moment, we'll talk about it later."

The Type B new human secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said "Oh," and obediently shut his mouth.

Yao Wei said she would wait a while before discussing it, which naturally meant waiting for Lu Xi'an to arrive.

Meanwhile, Lu Xi'an had already gotten into the RV and driven it back to the highway.

The robotic dog returned to its place, and as Lu Xi'an drove south, he asked, "Dog, that Type C Newtype said they put some kind of mark on me. Can you scan it?"

The robotic dog replied: "A substance resembling fungistones was found on your skin structure during scanning. The specific composition could not be analyzed, but it can be confirmed as human secretions. The specific locations are the back of your hands, scalp, and other areas."

Lu Xi'an immediately thought of what the Type C New Human had said before—some of them had eaten the fungus stone, and some had eaten the flesh of New Humans who had eaten the fungus stone.

So these people have components of fungal stones in their bodies, and can even secrete these components to use as markers?
But how did that Type C new human mark itself?
"What is the specific function of this marking? Can it be analyzed?"

Lu Xian asked again.

The dog replied, "Insufficient information to conduct a specific analysis. What we can analyze at present is that this component, once absorbed, will have a positive effect on the new humans."

So there are benefits too?
Lu Xi'an was speechless.

What he was concerned about now was the mark mentioned by the Type C New Human… Lu Xi’an continued to ask, “Can this mark be removed?”

The dog replied, "The structural components of fungal stone cannot be eliminated; they can only be absorbed naturally. After absorption, they will have a positive effect on the new human individual."

The dog has already said the second half of that sentence.

Lu Xi'an sighed inwardly. It seemed that there was no way to solve this problem by asking Gouzi. She would have to ask those two people herself.

He stopped talking, focused on driving, stepped on the gas and increased his speed. After a short while, he arrived at the broken tree.

Lu Xi'an parked the car on the side of the road and got out. He immediately saw the miserable state of the two new humans and his eyes twitched.

Yao Wei is a living devil!

He stepped forward and asked, "Why are you treating them differently?"

The face of the Type B new human turned pale again.

Yao Wei pointed to the Type B new human and said, "He said he's a good person."

"Is it?"

Lu Xi'an glanced at the Type B new human and raised an eyebrow.

It seems like things are turning around!
"Yes, yes! I'm a good person! I'm different from them, I don't eat my own kind! Now I don't even eat ordinary people!"

The Type B new human repeated what he had just said.

Lu Xi'an glanced at him and said, "Really? So, you used to eat that?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "Ah...yes...isn't that normal?"

Lu Xi'an sighed inwardly, realizing that she and Yao Wei were indeed out of place in this world.

And Luo Ping...

They are heretics in this world.

Lu Xi'an didn't continue the topic. He picked up the Type B new human, turned to Yao Wei and said, "I'm going to ask him some questions from a distance."

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed.

Lu Xi'an then carried the Type B Newhuman to a great distance in a few steps. He was very fast, and the Type B Newhuman couldn't keep up for a moment, his face turning even paler.

After stopping, he took a while to recover a little.

Lu Xi'an asked, "Could you tell me in detail what happened in Beifang County and your sick village and cured village?"

The Jiangnan region is already in the south, yet it has the name of a northern county. And this "Sick Village, Sick-Good Village"—the names are really strange...

When Lu Xi'an asked him a question, the man quickly and earnestly replied, "Beifang County is the most powerful group in Jiangnan City besides Jiangnan County."

"Over there, with that leader Liang and deputy leader Xu Ma, they've brought together many places in the vicinity. Biyun County, Tingxi County, and Daze County all have to listen to Beifang County."

"Back then, we almost brought that county in Jiangbei City to the north under control. But then a woman in that county suddenly appeared who was good at playing with ants. Her ants were so powerful that they almost caused trouble for Boss Liang. After that, Boss Liang didn't dare to go north anymore."

Lu Xi'an hadn't expected to hear anything about Xuan Xiaocao from this person.

But thinking back, Xuan Xiaocao's ants were indeed formidable, devouring people without spitting out the bones, which explains why Northern County avoided them.

The Type B Newtype continued, "I used to be from Biyun County, but I had to submit to Beifang County later. After submitting to Beifang County, I learned that they actually eat their own kind and use this method to increase their strength—just like I mentioned before, by eating the corpses of their own kind that have eaten the fungal stones."

He spoke with righteous indignation, saying, "Damn it, they're worse than animals! How could I do such a thing! So when they forced me to eat my own kind, I rebelled."

"I escaped from their clutches and even saved the lives of the people in the sick village, making me a thorn in their side. They are all beasts; they would never tolerate someone like me who doesn't eat their own kind!"
"So I'm a good person, and they aren't!"

Lu Xi'an had some doubts about what he said for the time being, but some of the relevant information was also believable.

He asked, "How many New Humans does Boss Liang and Aunt Xu have under their command, and what types are they? How many of them have been enhanced by consuming their own kind?"

The man said, "Including Biyun County, Daze County, and Xiting County, there are a total of four Type A new humans, two Type B new humans, five Type C new humans, and one Type D new human."

"But that was when I was there. I don't know how many there are now."

This team is really strong!
"How many of them were enhanced by consuming fungal stones?"

Lu Xian asked again.

I had heard before that the strength of those who ate the fungal stones surpassed that of the new humans who ate the corpses containing the fungal stones.

The man said, "There were only two, Liang the Elder and Xu Ma. The others who ate the fungus stone all became meat in other people's stomachs."

The success rate of this method of consuming fungal stones is quite low.

Lu Xi'an breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked, "What exactly is this mark they're talking about?"
