Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 332 Harvest
The map from the Resonance Gene Scanner shows that all the red dots from the Northern County have disappeared.

Luo Ping was completely relieved after checking the resonance gene scanner.

Tang Er and Lao Yao emerged from their stealth state. Tang Er walked to Yao Wei's side and returned the mechanical dog to her.

—Over this period of time, he had noticed that Mr. Yao preferred to carry the dog rather than Mr. Lu, as if he could only feel at ease when he had this incredibly powerful mechanical dog in his hands.

But that's true.

Tang Er thought to himself, if he had a dog like that, he would want to hug it and sleep with it every day.

That's amazing! In that battle just now, the dog played a much bigger role than I did.

To Tang Er's surprise, Yao Wei didn't seem to care much about the dog this time. After taking the dog from Tang Er, she nodded to him and quickly ran to Lu Xi'an's side, putting the dog on the ground.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lu Xi'an smiled at Yao Wei and said.

Before Yao Wei could even speak, he already knew what she meant.

He added, "I have fungal stones on my body, and my body has almost fully recovered by now."

"It's a pity that our fungus stones are external; they can only restore the body and can't be used like Boss Liang and Aunt Xu to exploit bugs to increase strength."

If we hadn't won this battle, all that beating we just took would have been for nothing.

Yao Wei was still a little worried, so she felt around Lu Xi'an and carefully checked him over. Only after confirming that he was completely safe did she feel at ease.

—The reason she put the dog down was to give Lu Xi'an a medical check-up.

This made Lu Xi'an a little embarrassed, and she said, "Don't do that, so many people are watching."

Yao Wei ignored him.

Fortunately, everyone was very sensible under Luo Ping's leadership.

Luo Ping immediately changed the subject.

He was very clever; he didn't make any awkward remarks like "The weather is really nice today, and the wind is so noisy," and he simply changed the subject.

He glanced at the map on the resonance gene scanner, then at the spot where the rear guard of Northern County had just stood, and sighed:

"Alas, what a pity, such a fine cylinder, capable of spewing fire, and now it's gone."

These words made Liu Hua a little embarrassed, and she said, "I'm sorry..."

Luo Ping quickly said to Liu Hua, "No, I wasn't talking about you. This isn't your fault, you don't need to apologize to me."

"And speaking of which, I was the one who told you to keep an eye on that cylinder. If you don't let the ants eat the cylinder, then the ants will be in big trouble."

“If the ants had suffered, the outcome of our battle would have been uncertain. You did the right thing; it was the best choice you could have made.”

Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Luo Ping's words, and even felt a little embarrassed, just like Lu Xi'an.

Luo Ping then said, "Your ants have eaten so many people from Northern County this time, you must have made quite a bit of progress, right?"

"Ah."

The topic shifted to this issue, making Liu Hua forget her embarrassment and feel happy and satisfied. "Just now, because we were fighting, the worker ants couldn't carry the meat back to the queen, so they had to eat it all themselves."

"They can also digest that meat, but it takes a while. Once they've digested it, their strength should increase considerably, and they should be able to live longer."

"—These are all things the queen ant told me. She seems to regard me as her leader now, and thinks that I am the same as them. She listens to me, and the other ants listen to her."

Luo Ping's eyes widened in surprise: "Does that mean that even if you don't use your abilities to control them, they will naturally obey you?"

"Yes, it is like that."

As Liu Hua talked about the ants, she became more and more excited. "They must have become much stronger by following me, eating a lot of things that make them stronger. That makes them feel that it's only natural for them to follow me."

"The queen ant seemed to have communicated with me just now, saying she would share some of the meat with me, which startled me."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Luo Ping's eye twitched, and he said, "You startled me too."

Liu Hua chuckled: "I didn't dare to eat it, I refused."

"The message the queen ant gave me said that because her subordinates have lived longer and become stronger, they are not easy to die. Moreover, the worker ants she produced before are also different from those before. They are equally strong and not easy to die, so she does not need to produce too many worker ants now."

"It can use the newly acquired food to digest itself and strengthen itself. Once it has finished digesting, the entire ant colony will become very strong, resulting in an overall improvement."

Luo Ping's eyes widened in surprise, "Really? That's wonderful! At least our battle wasn't without its rewards."

"Liu Hua, you'll be the strongest among us from now on, so don't bully anyone else."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "No, Mr. Luo, we're all colleagues, why would you bully someone?"

Everyone else laughed too, and they chatted for a while.

At this moment, Yao Wei had finished examining Lu Xi'an and came over. Liu Hua noticed Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei and said with a smile, "Besides, Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao are here too. Compared to them, I'm not that great."

"okokokok!"

Chai Xin nodded his little head more quickly than anyone else.

Everyone said:

"Yes, yes." "Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao are amazing, Liu Hua is third."

"Big brother and big sister are too fierce! Look at the state they just beat those two up!"

"Yeah, that punch, if I took it, I'd need more chocolate to recover."

"I still shudder when I think about it now. I'm so glad I wasn't one of those two."

"Um……"

Lu Xi'an waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, alright, if you keep talking like this, we'll both turn into monsters."

Luo Ping said, "No way, how could you become monsters, big brother and big sister? You're still Egg Superman, no matter what."

"Eggman" is a tokusatsu series in this world, and it looks similar to "Ultraman". It's also in the videos that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei collected before, so it seems that Luo Ping has already seen it.

However, the head of "Eggman" is different from that of Ultraman. It is not the kind with horns in the middle, two light bulbs in the middle, and two beans hanging in the middle to form cross-eyed eyes. Instead, it is a whole sphere without any edges.

The different members of the round egg family are distinguished by their color and spherical shape.

Lu Xi'an couldn't help but think of the comical appearance of Eggman and said, "No, no, Eggman's head is so round, I can't be him. You should be him."

Luo Ping said, "My head isn't round either." As he spoke, he unconsciously looked at the bottle.

Everyone else also looked at the bottle.

Of all the people present, the bottle had the roundest head.

Now it's the bottle's turn to be embarrassed.

Everyone was having a good time, laughing and joking for a while, but Lu Laoshu remained silent, feeling unable to fit in.

Then Luo Ping said, "Alright, alright, let's get in the car and head home." He had learned this phrase from martial arts novels.

Yao Wei said, "They still have two more cars."

Luo Ping slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, this is also one of our spoils. Let's go, let's go take a look."

He then called to the group, and together they headed towards the place where the people from Northern County had parked their cars, led by several Type A new humans.

As Luo Ping walked, he unknowingly reached the very end.

Lu Laoshu was at the very back of the group. Luo Ping noticed that Lu Laoshu was in a bad mood, so he leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? You finally won, why do you look so sullen?"

"without……"

Lu the Rat forced a smile and said, "I just feel like I didn't do anything right. I endured the disgust to eat the meat under the poplar tree, and it all felt like a waste..."

Luo Ping understood immediately, raised his arm, put it on Lu Laoshu's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Why are you thinking so much?"
"We are Type B Newtypes, and in a team, we are meant to be the last line of defense. Ideally, we shouldn't have to play a role at all."

"Neither I nor the bottle played a role, did we?"

"Look at those two Type B Newtypes in Northern County, they did play a role, did they win?"

Lu the Rat opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

Luo Ping added, "As for what happened before, just don't mention it again."

"I've seen a phrase in movies and martial arts novels called 'no regrets after a move', which means that the past is past and we shouldn't regret it."

"Moreover, your strength has indeed increased, and who knows when you'll be able to put it to good use."

"It's always good to increase our strength."

Lu Laoshu wanted to say something more, but Luo Ping stopped him again, saying, "This damn world always forces people to do things they don't want to do. Once a move is made, there's no going back. Be careful next time. Is that alright?"

Lu Laoshu was stunned for a long time, then nodded and said, "No problem..."

The two people spoke softly enough to fool others, but not enough to fool the ears of the few Type A new humans.

Lu Xi'an walked at the front, slightly tilting her head, intending to take a look back, but after thinking about it, she gave up in the end.

Luo Ping is a really reliable guy.

he thought to himself.

The group from Beifang County were driving an SUV and a minivan, both of which had their doors locked.

When the group arrived, they realized they didn't have the key.

The key should be with the people of Beifang County, but they have all been eaten by ants, clothes and all. Where can we find the key now?

The group had no choice but to remove the door, take the supplies from the vehicle and move them away, and abandon the rest that was not needed.

As expected, there was no resonance gene scanner on the vehicle. The group from Northern County were overconfident and relied entirely on their own abilities to locate people.

They had taken the rest with them during the previous battle.

Luo Ping directed everyone to drive their cars over and use the oil extraction hoses to transfer the fuel from the two cars in the northern county to their own cars. They also removed all the parts that could be disassembled, including the tires.

In this way, everything that was due has been gained.

In fact, the supplies they obtained in this battle were less than what Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei reaped from a single location.

However, sometimes the issue cannot be compared in this way. Putting aside the increase in Liu Hua's strength, just the fact that they eliminated a major hidden danger in the south, improved their own combat experience and teamwork, and learned about the abilities and fighting methods of the people in the northern county is also a great gain.

After this battle, Lu Xi'an, Yao Wei, and Luo Ping will all reach a new level.
