Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 321 What Lu the Rat Couldn't Understand

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Lu the Rat counted; there were eight people in total.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao managed to bring two cars and eight people.

Adding Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao, there are ten people in total. Then, counting myself, the number is the same as that of the Northern County!

If they all practiced the magical training method that Mr. Lu taught them, they might actually be able to have a run for their money against the people from Northern County!
Lu Laoshu was both shocked and delighted.

Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao are truly remarkable!
The people who came all called them "Big Brother" and "Big Sister," so they must be the leaders of these people.

Moreover, these people seem quite different from Boss Liang and his gang from Northern County!
If it were Boss Liang and his gang, they would never have all rushed to help when they learned that Boss Liang and Aunt Xu were in danger and their lives were hanging by a thread.

Those people were secretly delighted, waiting for Boss Liang and Aunt Xu to die so that they would have one less head to lead. They might even be secretly coveting Boss Liang and Aunt Xu's corpses.

Such a united force, willing to share life and death, is truly unlike anyone else in this world!
Who exactly are they?!

Lu Laoshu was full of questions, but seeing Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei greeting and talking to the newcomers, he didn't dare to come forward and ask.

He cautiously shrank back, observing the scene before him.

"Big brother and big sister, I'm here too!"

After the man who was leading the group, Lu the Rat, who thought he looked somewhat like himself, greeted Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, a young woman suddenly appeared behind them, hopping up to Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei in a few quick steps and grinning at them.

She wasn't as pretty as Yao Wei, but she was still quite nice. She was much shorter than Yao Wei and had a slight hunchback, but you couldn't really tell unless you looked closely.

Lu Laoshu saw in this young girl an unparalleled youth and vitality, something he had never seen before. Even the newborns he had seen before did not possess such energy.

so good!
Lu the Rat couldn't help but think to himself.

Then Lu Xi'an glared at the girl, and she shrank back, her vitality instantly halved.

"Didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you still come?!"

Lu Xi'an glared fiercely at the girl, then asked the person who had spoken earlier, "I told you to leave two extra people in the base, why did you bring them all?!"

The man took off his sunglasses, revealing his eyes, and grinned, showing his uneven teeth. He said, "Brother, don't blame me. If she wanted to come, I couldn't stop her."

"This little Chai Xin has become incredibly skilled. He managed to sneak into the car, and not only could I not spot him, but Tang Er and that stinky girl couldn't either!"

"She's even learned to hide her voice!"

It turns out this girl's name is Chai Xin.

Lu the Rat understood.

There should be two more Type A Newtypes in this team, one named Tang Er and the other Liu Hua. This Chai Xin is probably Type D. To be able to remain undetected by Type A Newtypes even at close range is truly impressive!
Even people from Northern County probably couldn't do that!
Horror!
The man who looked somewhat like him added, "Moreover... Brother, we've discussed this carefully at home, and we all agree that since we're going to fight this battle, we must go all out and not hold back."

"Only by going all out can we hope to win. What use are one or two new humans left at home if we hold back? Our enemies will come looking for us sooner or later."

“I’ve told you this before, brother. There have been many people in this world who have tried and built, but without exception they have all failed and been destroyed by those evil people who do not engage in production and only fight and fight. All their efforts have been ruined in an instant.”

"We are fortunate to have the power we have today. But we are also destined to be enemies with these people. It's a matter of life and death, so how can we hold back our strength?"

Lu Xi'an said, "So, you didn't intend to stop Chai Xin either, and only left an old tree in the base, right?"

The man chuckled but didn't say anything.

Lu Xi'an sighed and said, "You're right, my thinking was narrow-minded. I'm sorry."

After saying this, the girl named Chai Xin immediately became happy and relaxed.

The person who had been talking to Lu Xi'an waved his hand and said, "Not at all!"

Lu Xi'an then turned to look at another person and said, "Your name is Old Tang, right? Long time no see. I didn't expect you to be here too."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The man smiled and said, "There's no other way. With Xuan Xiaocao dead, I'll be facing Beifang City directly from the south. It's a life-or-death situation, so I have no choice but to fight desperately."

"Honestly, it would have been better if Xuan Xiaocao hadn't died. At least Xuan Xiaocao wasn't like those people in Beifang County, who went around killing people and making life miserable for everyone."

Lu Xi'an smiled and said, "Then I have to apologize."

The man replied, "That's not necessary. I've already heard from Luo Ping that Xuan Xiaocao and the others came looking for you. They deserved to die. I just didn't expect you to be so strong. Luckily, I didn't fight you back then."

Lu the Rat was listening from behind, completely dumbfounded.

Xuan Xiaocao is dead?! And killed by this Mr. Lu?!
Xuan Xiaocao from the north once caused Boss Liang a great loss, blocking his northward advance. How could Mr. Lu actually kill Xuan Xiaocao?!

Doesn't that mean that Mr. Lu alone could hold his own against Boss Liang and his gang? Now that there are so many of them, there's even less to fear?!
Lu the Rat felt both surprised and apprehensive.

As for the surprises, that goes without saying. What made him uneasy was that he had confirmed these people were all extremely powerful, and he felt a little apprehensive, unsure how to get along with them, and worried that they might harm the villagers of Binghao Village.

Lu Xi'an then introduced the people he had brought to Lu Laoshu.

Lu Laoshu then learned that the person who resembled him somewhat was named Luo Ping, a Type B new human. Lu Xi'an said that Luo Ping was the leader of this group, but Lu Laoshu always felt that Lu Xi'an was the leader.

Next was that young woman, whose name was indeed Chai Xin, and who was indeed a Type D new human.

Besides these, there are Type A Newhumans Tang Er and Chou Nu, Type B Newhumans Ping Zi, Type C Newhumans Liu Hua and Lao Tang, and Type D Newhuman Lao Yao. Chou Nu, Liu Hua, and Chai Xin are female, and the rest are male.

When Lu Xi'an introduced these people, they all acted very warmly and friendly, making people feel very comfortable.

Lu Laoshu didn't know the phrase "like a gentle breeze," otherwise he would have immediately thought of it.

He felt that these people were all extraordinary, and their speech and behavior had a very special feel to them, making them very different from others.

They, and even the people of the Northern County, seemed like wild beasts in comparison to these people.

And... why are there some of these people who look like ordinary people, yet are clearly all new humans?

Lu Laoshu couldn't understand, but Lu Xi'an didn't seem inclined to explain it to him.

Lu Xi'an also introduced Lu Laoshu to Luo Ping and the others. For some reason, Luo Ping became very enthusiastic as soon as Lu Xi'an introduced Lu Laoshu to him, as if he had known Lu Laoshu for a long time.

Lu the Rat was confused and didn't understand why, but he just felt more and more that these people were all good people.

But thinking about it, how could someone who knows Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao and is willing to risk their own safety to come to their aid not be a good person?

"Come on, friend! I heard from my brother that you built a fantastic village. Where is it? Take us to see it!"

Luo Ping said with a big smile, he was incredibly enthusiastic, and immediately put his arm around Lu Laoshu's shoulder.

Lu Laoshu was actually quite uncomfortable with this situation. Although he was considered a good person by the villagers of Binghao Village, in reality, he was still aloof and arrogant. He was always fawned over by the villagers, and who would dare to put their arm around him?
But now that Luo Ping has put his arm around his shoulder and is holding him, he doesn't feel any aversion at all. Instead, he feels a strange sense of honor.

"This way, this way."

He diligently led Luo Ping to the right path.

Luo Ping turned around and called out, "You guys drive up and follow, you can all get in the car."

Then people got on the bus. Lu Laoshu turned around and noticed that most of them got on the bus, but the girl named Chai Xin did not.

The girl skipped two steps forward and caught up with Yao Wei, saying, "Brother, I'm not getting in the car. Can I walk with you and your sister?"

Luo Ping waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want. Don't always follow Lao Shu's example and call me 'Brother'. It sounds awful. Can you call me 'Big Brother' instead? Or at least Mr. Luo will do."

Chai Xin said, "Okay, brother, I understand."

Luo Ping: “…”

"Hahahaha!"

Lu Xi'an laughed. Yao Wei smiled too, but didn't make a sound.

Seeing the two men laugh, Chai Xin also chuckled along.

Lu Laoshu felt that the girl was very close to Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, as if she were Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei's daughter. Luo Ping also took good care of the girl, as if he also regarded her as a family member.

Those inside the car, upon hearing Luo Ping and Chai Xin's conversation, also laughed openly and honestly, without any derogatory meaning, unafraid of provoking anyone.

Lu Laoshu suddenly felt a little envious, thinking that the relationships and atmosphere among these people were really good, and that kind of natural and casual closeness was something he had never seen before.

I've never seen it in Binghao Village, let alone in Beifang County.

Why are they able to have this kind of relationship? How was such a close and casual relationship cultivated? How could they possibly get along like this?
If the boss behaves like this, wouldn't he lose his authority? Wouldn't his subordinates easily rebel?

Lu the Rat was puzzled; he had never seen anything like it before.

But now that he's seen this, he inexplicably finds it reasonable.

There's no reason, I just feel that things like this should exist in this world.

He was starting to feel like he could fit in.
