Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 367 Enemy, On the Run

The words of this Type A new human made Lu Xi'an, Luo Ping, and Yao Wei's hearts pound. The simple words from the Type A new human revealed a wealth of information, leaving them deeply shaken.

First, there's the "your dad" mentioned in the words of the Type A new humans.

He said those two words to Yao Wei.

He mistook Yao Wei for the daughter of the stranger who was chasing them because he saw Yao Wei's appearance.

Yao Wei must look extremely similar to that person she has never met, otherwise this Type A new human would associate them.

And this group of Type A new humans is now undoubtedly the enemy who killed Yao Wei's mother.

Now, the Type A new humans say they are being hunted down by "Yao Wei's father," and that this has been going on for many years.

So, after much speculation, is it possible that the person this Type A new human was talking about is actually Yao Wei's father?

This man, who had parted ways with Yao Wei's mother Ye Wenxin for reasons unknown, later learned of Ye Wenxin's murder and launched a revenge campaign, even forcing his enemy to flee Wanquan County in Mengze City.

Fortunately, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei learned of this situation here; otherwise, if they had continued south as planned, they might have ended up with nothing.

This is one of the key pieces of information revealed in the words of the Type A new humans. In addition to this, there is another point that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei have to pay attention to.

That's about marking.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei knew exactly what the markings were. They had been in contact with Boss Liang, Aunt Xu, and others, and Lu Laoshu, who had previously worked in Jiangnan City, had also told them about the specifics of the people from Beifang County.

Therefore, they were all very clear about what the necessary conditions were for the new humans to lock onto the marked new humans.

Now, this Type A new human clearly states that "Yao Wei's father" is able to lock onto them through the mark, and because of the mark, he is playing hide-and-seek with them. One is constantly improving the mark, and the other is constantly cracking the mark, making incredible use of this ability that requires consuming fungal stones or human flesh containing fungal stone components.

Therefore, Yao Wei's father may still be alive, and the image of this father may be very different from what Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei imagined.

Lu Xi'an suppressed the turmoil in his mind and turned to look at Yao Wei.

Yao Wei's face remained expressionless. After a brief silence, she asked a question: "So, are they still in Jiangnan City? Where exactly in Jiangnan City are they?"

Hearing Yao Wei ask this question, Lu Xi'an breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems that Yao Wei did not fall into inexplicable emotions because of this chaotic information. She remained rational and chose to do what she thought was important.

Yao Wei wasn't just asking about Lu Laoshu, Lao Tang, and Lao Yao; she was also asking about the other companions of this Type A new human. Lu Xi'an was perfectly aware of this.

After learning that those people, under the coercion of "Yao Wei's father," would hide their markers and could relocate at any time to save their lives, the two of them unanimously prioritized obtaining information about the location of those enemies.

Even if Yao Wei hadn't asked, Lu Xi'an would have asked the question sooner rather than later.

Once they find out the answer to this question, they might be able to take their revenge immediately.

If they miss the answer to this question, they might forever miss out on meeting Yao Wei's enemy.

The Type A new human replied with a cold laugh, "They should still be here now, but they might leave soon. You killed so many of us that only one of us was left. How could our people not have noticed?"

"In this situation, they would probably immediately decide to abandon me to prevent me from revealing their whereabouts. So..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xi'an ripped off his chin with a "snap".

"So what?"

Lu Xi'an asked in an unfriendly tone. After asking, seeing that the Type A new human's face was pale and his eyes were unfocused, as if he dared not be presumptuous anymore, he then put his chin back on and asked, "Where exactly are they?"

"Northern County".

Type A new humans answered honestly.

Lu Xi'an immediately looked at Yao Wei. Yao Wei noticed Lu Xi'an's gaze and looked back at him with a solemn expression and a firm look in her eyes.

Their choices are self-evident.

Luo Ping, who was standing nearby, had already noticed what was happening and immediately said, "Open the door! Old Tree, quickly bring over some compressed biscuits. Our older brother and sister probably don't have time to eat right now..."

Lu Xi'an said, "We don't need the compressed biscuits anymore, we have them with us."

Luo Ping said, "Then let's give it to that stinky girl, Tang Er, and Liu Hua. Big brother and big sister, I know you are very powerful now, far surpassing us and them, but just to be on the safe side, let the three of them catch up with you."

"With Liu Hua around, they should be able to help out."

In that brief battle, Luo Ping and the others had already seen that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, after four years of relentless training, had far surpassed everyone else in strength. All those who had trapped Luo Ping and his group in the 923 base, even combined, were no match for Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

After this battle, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei also understood.

Although they didn't know why they had become so powerful, they had at least confirmed their strength, and what to do next was self-evident.

—They were to head straight for Jiangnan City, then use two people on all fours to raid Beifang County and kill Yao Wei's enemies.

With their current strength, they should be able to do it.

If they can't do that now, they'll probably have a hard time finding another opportunity later.

—After all, they were a group of people who could play hide-and-seek with others for over twenty years. Luo Ping had also figured this out, which was why he spoke in that manner.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei did not refuse.

Lu Xi'an said, "Okay, then try your best to keep up. It's okay if you can't keep up, take your time."

By this time, Liu Hua, Tang Er, and the others had finished looting the corpse and searching the surrounding area. Hearing Lu Xi'an's words, the couple and the woman all nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then let's go."

Lu Xi'an continued.

Luo Ping said, "Have a safe journey."

The others, including Chai Xin, echoed, "Have a safe journey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were nowhere to be seen.

The sudden increase in speed created a loud bang, causing Luo Ping and the others to twitch involuntarily.

"That's awesome!"

Luo Ping couldn't help but admire it.

Liu Hua had already jumped onto Tang Er's back.

The flying ants flew out and quickly covered Liu Hua's entire body, then merged into one and became hard.

This is the ability that those black flying ants demonstrated when they were in Jiangbei City. They would form an extremely hard shell on the ant castles they built to withstand the harsh cold that would come from time to time in this world.

Now this ability has been greatly enhanced and Liu Hua has used it in other places.

The flying ant shell that now envelops Liu Hua is hard on the outside and soft on the inside, which can firmly fix Liu Hua to Tang Er's back, while the softness inside can also form a buffer to offset the huge force generated by Tang Er's rapid rush.

Doing it this way will consume a lot of worker ants.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Hua also brought the queen ant along, and the queen ant was also firmly protected inside. With its incredibly powerful production capacity, as long as the queen ant doesn't die, the worker ants are destined to keep coming in an endless stream.

The couple and the smelly girl sped off together. With Liu Hua's blessing, they rushed away, also making a loud noise, and left Qinshan in an instant.

Even so, they still couldn't see Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

Even on a vast, open plain with an unobstructed view of the road ahead, they still couldn't track down Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei.

Has the gap in strength become this large?
All three of them couldn't help but feel a chill.

They drove through Pingchuan City and then Jiangbei City, completing the journey in less than half a day.

At this rate, they estimate they will reach Beifang County in Jiangnan City in just a short while.

Suddenly the weather turned cold, and heavy snow fell, making it bitterly cold. All three thought to themselves that with such good weather, Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao were very likely to catch up with the enemy, unless they were willing to abandon their supplies.

Running like this was too exhausting, so the three of them stopped when they got close to Beifang County, ate some compressed biscuits with water, and replenished their energy.

The compressed biscuits they carried with them were crushed into crumbs due to their rapid run, making them difficult for the three of them to eat.

Fortunately, even when it's crumbled into pieces, compressed biscuits are still quite filling.

After the three finished eating, they continued their pursuit.

But when they reached the outskirts of the northern county, they heard no sound. The three of them became cautious; Liu Hua first sent flying ants in to scout, but they also found nothing.

The three of them then went inside, but neither the enemy nor their elder brother and sister were in this northern county.

So, did those people realize something was wrong and run away beforehand, and then the older brothers and sisters went after them?
"Wait a moment, let me take a look."

Liu Hua said from Tang Er's back.

She never got off Tang Er's back and was protected by the hard shell formed by flying ants, which not only cushioned her fall but also kept her warm.

After she spoke, a large number of flying ants flew out from the holes she had left in her hard shell and flew in all directions.

Although his speed was not as fast as Tang Er and the smelly girl, nor as fast as Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao, it was already close to that of ordinary Type A new humans.

After all, back on the banks of the Guanhai River, these flying ants had devoured many special new humans. Now, outside Institute 923, the queen ant has fed on another wave. Along the way, the flying ants have gone through several generations of replacements and are no longer comparable to what they were before.

The flying ants scurried out and spread in all directions, acting as Liu Hua's eyes and ears.

Tang Er and the smelly girl held their breath and waited quietly to avoid disturbing Liu Hua.

Then, a moment later, Liu Hua's muffled voice came from behind Tang Er: "Found it! It's to the west!"

"go!"

Tang Er said something, and then he and the smelly girl suddenly exerted their strength and chased after them to the west.
