Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 376 Past events

I never expected that Yao Wei would use such a tactful way to advise others.

Lu Xi'an was slightly surprised. He had always thought he knew Yao Wei better than anyone else, but now it seemed that he was still one-sided.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Yao Wei has always been quite thoughtful; it's just that she doesn't understand some things and doesn't like to worry about others. This trait of hers is often overlooked.

Lu Xi'an asked Yao Wei about the details of her conversation with Yao Huo, and Yao Wei told Lu Xi'an the whole story.

Yao Wei told Lu Xi'an that Yao Huo and Ye Wenxin broke up because of a conflict of ideas.

They had been attacked by people who had eaten the fungus stone, which severely injured them. Afterwards, they began to explore this unprecedented way of strengthening themselves.

Thus, they gradually discovered methods to enhance their abilities by consuming fungal stones or the flesh of new humans who had eaten fungal stones. Based on this, they also summarized some methods to enhance the absorption of fungal stones.

Ultimately, however, they determined that the rejection symptoms of fungal stones varied from person to person and were unavoidable. Yao Huo successfully absorbed a fungal stone, but Ye Wenxin could not.

The two continued to wander in this desolate and barbaric world, where resources were scarce, food was in short supply, and everyone they encountered was a lawless, cannibalistic creature.

Gradually, as time went on, their thoughts and ideas changed.

Yao Huo believed that in order to survive in this world, one could no longer adhere to the old morals and remain unchanged. One had to take the first step, move closer to this new world, and get used to the way people live in this world today.

But Ye Wenxin firmly disagreed. No matter how hard it was, no matter how scarce food was, they had to uphold morality and maintain the bottom line of civilization.

They argued again and again, trying to persuade each other time and time again, but all their attempts ended in failure.

Both of them are people with extremely strong will and firm ideas, so how could they easily persuade each other?

Later, Yao Huo felt he couldn't wait any longer; he had to make changes first, no matter what. He needed to have the power to protect Ye Wenxin before he could have time for her to gradually accept the world.

Or perhaps Ye Wenxin is unwilling to make changes, and I have enough strength to protect Ye Wenxin's overly idealistic beliefs.

But he didn't expect that Ye Wenxin would choose to leave silently the moment she saw the change in him.

At that time, he did not know that Ye Wenxin was pregnant. He searched for Ye Wenxin for a long time, but to no avail. Finally, he discovered the base built in the Donghai High-tech Zone - the National Emergency Disaster Relief Headquarters.

He discovered the special features of the place, used it to reconnect the electricity, and kept broadcasting old-time broadcasts over the loudspeaker—he thought that if Ye Wenxin found any relics from the old era elsewhere, she might hear his broadcasts and be attracted to the place.

Then, at the national emergency disaster relief headquarters, he also took in many people. He taught them methods to advance their strength, cultivation techniques, and provided them with the guarantee of survival and protection.

But he never imagined that the barbarity and cruelty of those people from the old era far exceeded his imagination. They ate meat not because of the need for survival, but simply as a form of enjoyment and a symbol of power.

Yao Huo drove those people away, but little did she expect that while they were fighting and occupying territory, they would encounter Ye Wenxin, who was traveling the world with Yao Wei.

Ye Wenxin was killed, and Yao Wei fled north and disappeared without a trace.

Later, because these people were fighting each other, one of the defeated was so angry that he told Yao Huo about it. That's how Yao Huo learned about the matter and that he had a daughter.

So he began his revenge and pursuit of his former disciples, forcing them to leave Wanquan County in Mengze City and flee to other places.

Of course, he didn't find Ye Wenxin's grave. This time, coming with Yao Wei, it was the first time he had learned that Ye Wenxin was buried here.

He'll probably linger at this grave a while longer, and say what's been bottled up in his heart for so long...

Lu Xi'an then asked, "What about Yao Sisi?"

Yao Wei said, "At the command post, he also took in some people, some who were willing to live in accordance with his moral standards. After learning that his mother had died, he was in a bad mood. Yao Sisi's mother appeared at that time, comforted him and comforted him, and they gradually got together."

"That's it..."

Lu Xian nodded.

Yao Wei added, "He told me that he still doesn't think his choice was wrong. The world has changed, and people today are no longer the same as in the old world."

“He said we can’t confine ourselves to the standards of the old world, or we’ll eventually be abandoned by it. He only regretted handing over the enhancement methods to those people, causing the power of consuming fungal stones to spread throughout this world, which also led to my mother’s death.” “And then?”

Lu Xian asked again.

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "He didn't say anything more. But I could tell why he was telling me so solemnly that he didn't think he had done anything wrong."

“He doesn’t think he did anything wrong, but he’s tired and doesn’t want to live anymore. Maybe after seeing me and my mother today, he’s planning to die.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xi'an sighed inwardly, "So you said those things to him?"

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded.

Lu Xi'an let out a soft breath and said, "Yao Wei, you are such a gentle person..."

"Ah."

Yao Wei smiled, glanced at Lu Xi'an, and said, "I think so too."

The car continued forward; heading west to Jianshan was a dead end, so they could only go east.

Lu Xi'an asked, "Where are we going now?"

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know. Since we don't have a goal anymore, let's wander around and take a look. I originally thought that after taking revenge, I would find a place to settle down."

"But now I suddenly want to walk around and take another look."

"I used to always have something on my mind, but now I realize that I haven't really looked at many things carefully."

Lu Xi'an said, "But you still need to take care of your pregnancy."

Yao Wei remained silent.

Lu Xi'an glanced at Yao Wei and suddenly worried that his restrictions on Yao Wei might cause her prenatal depression.

Who knows if people with type A blood are prone to prenatal depression...?

"How about this, let's walk along the coast and take a look at Donghai, Jiannan, and Jiangdong."

Lu Xi'an said, "We haven't been to Donghai and Jiannan yet, so we don't know what they're like. After we've been to these places, we can go back to Linhai and then to Caiyang Mountain to prepare for childbirth."

"it is good."

Yao Wei finally agreed, which relieved Lu Xi'an.

So he changed direction and headed towards Donghai City.

……

Yao Huo lingered at Ye Wenxin's grave for a long time. He told Yao Sisi to go back first, but she refused and instead made some sarcastic remarks. He had no choice but to give up.

After a long while, he stood up and said, "Let's go." He left with Yao Sisi.

Then, on their way back to Donghai City, they spotted Yao Wei and Lu Xi'an's car.

"Dad, do you think they might be planning to rob us in the East China Sea?"

Yao Sisi suddenly asked.
