Apocalypse: Last Traveler-Chapter 384 - 363: Strength Beyond Imagination

Lu Xi’an lunged at the Type A Neo-Human—the enemy recognized by Yao Wei.

As for the other Type C Neo-Human, it was Yao Wei’s target, so Lu Xi’an didn’t need to bother with it.

At this moment, what Lu Xi’an needed to do was use all his strength to restrain this Type A Neo-Human, so that this Type A Neo-Human couldn’t spare any attention to consider anything else.

So he pounced out fast and fiercely, like Tang’s Peregrine Falcon from before, charging at the Type A Neo-Human with a speed that was hard for the human eye to catch.

This collision had no frills, and didn’t need any; it was just a terrifying burst of speed.

The speed was so fast that even the Type A Neo-Human was caught off guard, not to mention the other person beside him.

"Quickly hide, give me..."

The Type A Neo-Human hurriedly raised his hand to block while speaking to the other person.

But before he could finish his sentence, Lu Xi’an had already lunged at him, colliding with him.

The speed and impact were terrifying, knocking him flying backward, unable to withstand the force.

And the other person, a seasoned combatant, was already alert, not waiting for the Type A Neo-Human’s reminder before quickly diving and trying to enhance the Type A Neo-Human with pheromones.

——He was indeed a Type C Neo-Human and not weak, enhancing with pheromones in a very stealthy way without much scent spread, with very precise and substantial enhancement beyond ordinary Type C Neo-Humans.

But no matter what, he was still just a Type C Neo-Human. His reaction and speed were too slow for a Type A Neo-Human, creating a gap of less than a second between his reaction and action from the Type A Neo-Human’s perspective.

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei wanted precisely this window.

Back when they were on Caiyang Mountain, they had rehearsed this scenario multiple times.

Back then, Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei deliberately suppressed their abilities, while Chou Nu and Liu Hua responded strongly and accurately to simulate real combat.

So at that moment, Yao Wei accurately anticipated the Type C Neo-Human’s action and trajectory before the Type C Neo-Human could enhance the Type A Neo-Human, and fired her second shot.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out again, deafening.

The enemy Type A Neo-Human was the first to react, immediately breaking into a cold sweat. He wanted to save him, but found Lu Xi’an following up with a punch towards him.

This punch made a whistling sound as it pierced through the air, heading straight for a vital point. Before it even reached the face, the punch wind stung with pain.

The Type A Neo-Human instantly realized that if he went to save the Type C Neo-Human now, this punch landing on his face would instantly kill him.

So he could only hastily block Lu Xi’an’s second attack, helplessly watching his companion’s head get pierced by the bullet.

"Pfft..."

A muffled sound, and the Type C Neo-Human fell to the ground, incredulous all over his face.

But Yao Wei wasn’t reassured. Right after this shot, she put down her sniper rifle and lunged forward instantly, reaching the scene in the blink of an eye.

The Type A Neo-Human was startled, not expecting there to be two Type A enemies hidden here, momentarily distracted, dodging Lu Xi’an’s swung tile but failing to evade the next punch.

But what he didn’t expect was that Yao Wei’s target was not him, but his already shot companion.

"Boom!"

The fallen Type C Neo-Human’s head was shattered by a punch from Yao Wei.

And the Type A Neo-Human happened to be hit by Lu Xi’an’s punch in the face, flying backward.

He regretted it immensely, thinking, why was he so scared and distracted when the enemies weren’t even targeting him?!

Run first! Damn it, when I get back I’ll get reinforcements to make these two pay, and then saw another punch coming as he flew backward.

Not just one, but two!

A man and a woman, one in front and one behind, two fists coming at him in a pincer attack.

And both fists were so fast that he couldn’t dodge them with his skills.

"Boom!"

The two fists connected, and the Type A Neo-Human’s head couldn’t withstand it, exploding instantly, not knowing if it was crushed or punched to pieces.

After confirming the effect of the punch, Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei split apart at an extremely fast speed to avoid more filth from falling on them.

"Plop."

The headless body fell to the ground, motionless.

There were now two fewer living people here, and two more headless corpses.

"Phew..."

Lu Xi’an exhaled gently and said, "It’s a pity, we had to finish it quickly, couldn’t keep them alive."

"Hmm."

Yao Wei nodded. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The enemy had the ability to mark Neo-Humans. If the enemy lived a little longer, they could mark them.

So they had to eliminate the enemy immediately to maintain the advantage of knowing the enemy while they remained hidden.

"It’s okay, they have more people."

Yao Wei added ominously.

Lu Xi’an saw Yao Wei’s dreadfully grim expression for the first time, and couldn’t help but shiver inwardly.

He quickly said, "Let’s hurry and leave, get out of here. With the commotion here, those people must have heard it already."

"Mm."

Yao Wei replied again, her expression easing slightly.

Lu Xi’an searched the two of them for a while but found nothing valuable. He swiftly got up, gathered the items they had left in their hiding spot, and quickly left.

Both of them had been marked before, but now they could confirm that they weren’t marked. The successful operation allowed their tense emotions to ease a bit.

They planned to return to the place where Luo Ping and Shu had previously hidden and assess the situation from there.

Retreating cautiously, Lu Xi’an said, "Why did it seem like they weren’t that strong?"

"Mm."

Yao Wei had the same feeling.

The enemy’s strength was indeed formidable, much stronger than four years ago, but during the battle, they themselves exhibited power far beyond these two enemies.

Did Luo Ping and the others misjudge, or did the enemies have other special attack methods, or perhaps, had their own strength now far surpassed the enemies?

Lu Xi’an tended to believe the latter. When they practiced with Luo Ping and the others on Caiyang Mountain, he could feel Luo Ping and the others’ growth.

However, the top of Caiyang Mountain was a bit small, restricting their full abilities. Moreover, Luo Ping and the others weren’t life-and-death enemies, so they never fully exerted themselves.

Even during practice they held back slightly.

To fight with all their might was not a matter of life and death.

Lu Xi’an could still feel the difference between sparring on Caiyang Mountain and the current combat.

Perhaps their abilities, both his and Yao Wei’s, had long exceeded expectations?

Yao Wei must have felt the same way.

Nevertheless, this judgment had to be kept to themselves for now. With so many enemies still holding back Luo Ping and the others, Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei had to stay vigilant to avoid any unforeseen incidents.

If they misjudged, rushing in would be akin to seeking death.

The two returned to where Luo Ping and Shu had once hidden and connected the Resonant Gene Scanner to Gou, activating it to check.

They originally thought the enemies lingering around the 923 Base would come over to investigate, to confirm what anomaly may have occurred here.

After all, the gunshots where Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei ambushed the enemies couldn’t have gone unnoticed in this setting.

Yet, to their surprise, none of the red dots came down the mountain; all remained concentrated at the 923 Base.

Moreover, some of the red dots were stationary, while others moved rapidly, even twitching erratically on the map.

What could cause such a reaction in the red dots?!

Lu Xi’an frowned immediately, glancing at Yao Wei, who also looked at him with a serious expression.

"Doesn’t it seem like... they’re fighting?!"

Lu Xi’an said in a low voice.

"Mm."

Yao Wei nodded, sharing her observation, "Luo Ping and them must have heard our gunshots too.

"Plus, they have the Resonant Gene Scanner and can confirm our identities through numbers and our previous movements.

"Perhaps they were worried we couldn’t handle the enemies, so they came out."

She rarely spoke much, but she didn’t mind speaking more when necessary.

This was certainly one of those necessary times.

However, Lu Xi’an disagreed with this view, saying, "But Luo Ping and them aren’t the reckless types. They’ve engaged with the enemy before, if they act again, it should be well-organized.

"We eliminated two enemies so quickly; Luo Ping and the others should have seen it on the Resonant Gene Scanner.

"He should have also confirmed that we’re temporarily safe through the scanner, so why would they just rush out like that?"

Both were slightly silent, unable to determine the exact situation.

Perhaps something else had occurred during this period that Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei hadn’t noticed or had yet to notice.

Anyway, looking at the map, the red dots in the 923 Base started moving, quickly converging with those on the outskirts.

From this, it seemed that there was indeed a confrontation at the 923 Base.

The situation didn’t allow Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei much time to hesitate and ponder; they soon made a decision to proceed and assess the scenario.

No matter what, they couldn’t just wait here.

The two set into action, taking everything with them and heading up the mountain.

They ran swiftly, maintaining a high speed while remaining alert to avoid any ambushes.

Fortunately, the Resonant Gene Scanner showed no anomalies; the enemies remained at the 923 Base without setting up ambushes elsewhere.

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei advanced, soon hearing distant shouts, collisions between bodies, clanging of metal, intermingled with wolf howls, chicken clucks, bird chirps, and unidentifiable rustling noises, undoubtedly Type C Neo-Humans exerting their powers.

Amid this chaos, Luo Ping’s desperate cry suddenly rang out, "Big brother, big sister, I’m so sorry!"
