Apocalypse: Last Traveler-Chapter 390 - 369: I’ll Always Be Here

Lu Xi’an really didn’t expect Yao Wei to say such a thing. He felt touched, yet had mixed feelings, and for a moment didn’t know what to say.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Alright, don’t think too much. Take a good rest. Later, I’ll accompany you to East Sea City. If it feels good, we’ll stay there for a while. If not, we’ll visit and leave right away."

"Mm."

Yao Wei nodded.

Then Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei gave the Fungus Stone to Lu Shou, Tang, and Yao, so the three could recover.

Lu Shou was relatively easier to deal with, being a B-type Neo-Human. As long as he had food supplements, he could recover significantly. Therefore, the Fungus Stone was mainly for Tang and Yao’s use.

While Tang and Yao were recovering, Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei called Liu Hua, Tang Er, and Chou Nu to search the corpses, finding many small knives, screwdrivers, wrenches, and other tools, as well as food.

The food was mainly scavenged from a portion of the people. Lu Xi’an guessed these folks were probably B-type Neo-Humans.

For B-type Neo-Humans, food was a tool for combat, not just something to eat.

Apart from these, there were also guns, bows, crossbows, knives, clubs, and such weapons, all scattered messily around. Among these weapons, melee ones were primarily held by Type A Neo-Humans, while ranged ones were in the hands of other Neo-Humans.

But no matter the type of Neo-Human or weapon, none could ultimately make a difference.

The combat prowess of Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei rendered any preparations by this group futile. The weapons seemed like children’s playthings, and even if they had landed on Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei, it would probably feel like a tickle.

Yet these weapons were useless to Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei but valuable to the 923 Base. Everyone gathered the weapons and loaded them onto the car. They also stripped the clothes off the deceased, cleaned them with snow water, and loaded them into the car as well.

Then they checked the cars, concentrating all resources in the middle big business car, mainly food, piling up a lot.

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei didn’t bother with the resources. It was nothing significant for Lu Xi’an, but a bit rare for Yao Wei.

She usually valued every gain...

Maybe because revenge had been taken, the goal achieved, or perhaps from meeting her father Yao Huo, she felt a bit distracted, or maybe she thought she had enough resources, feeling no need to care much about these. Plus, with Liu Hua and others here, leaving the resources for the 923 Base seemed better.

But no matter what, Lu Xi’an felt something was off with Yao Wei.

After inspecting everything, Lu Xi’an said to Liu Hua, Luo Ping, and the others, "Now the heavy snow blocks the road. With so many resources, it’s a shame to leave them since the car can’t move.

"You guys keep an eye on things here. Yao Wei and I are fast; we’ll head back to inform Luo Ping and ask them to come here for support.

"We’ll return here after talking to Luo Ping. The round trip shouldn’t take much time. Be cautious, everyone."

Everyone replied, "Alright."

Tang, who had mostly healed, spoke with ease. He smiled and said, "Don’t worry, you two, no need to come over if it’s not necessary.

"This group has been wiped out by you, and the two formidable ones are related to us.

"Not just anyone is as powerful as them. If others come, we should handle it."

He had a point, and Lu Xi’an recalled the journey since his crossing, thinking the world couldn’t collapse like those hot-blooded youth comics where power balance broke down, and each subsequent character was crazier than the last, fighting without seals.

Yet he still said, "Better safe than sorry, and no harm done being cautious. Plus, don’t we want to bring all these resources back?

"Look at these cars. Even if we don’t use them, we can take them to Caiyang Mountain and turn them into iron sheets to make farm tools on East Island. What a waste if we lose them?"

Everyone nodded and said, "True."

"Then it’s settled. We’ll go first, and you wait on the car. This big car is pretty comfortable; just stay on this one. I figure Luo Ping wouldn’t bear dismantling this car for hoes."

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Lu Xi’an glanced at the now-empty convoy and said, "Speaking of which, isn’t it too many cars? This group wandered around but accumulated so many cars?

"Aren’t they afraid of running out of fuel halfway?"

"I know that."

Lu Shou suddenly spoke, drawing everyone’s attention.

"I was the first they captured and heard them talking about the cars while I was confined."

"They roamed around, collecting many cars but initially hid them, only driving one or two at a time, sometimes two or three at most."

"If a car broke, only then would they fetch a good one. Their people would occasionally disperse and regroup at times. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"They played with markers for so long, enjoying a game of hide-and-seek with people in East Sea City, turning it into an art, even communicating like us on phones."

"This time they were forced, determined to go to East Sea City to settle scores, so they gathered the cars and people for a big battle over there. Yet, they didn’t expect to be dealt with by Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao here.

"Honestly, seeing their skills, I doubt even reaching East Sea City would have been anything but suicide for them."

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei nodded, thinking so that’s how it is, and felt that Lu Shou’s judgment wasn’t wrong.

Judging by the feeling from just now fighting Yao Huo and Yao Sisi, although Yao Huo and Yao Sisi’s strength isn’t as strong as theirs, they’re not much weaker either.

Dealing with these people, perhaps the father and daughter won’t find it as easy as Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei did, but there definitely wouldn’t be any major problems. Otherwise, the father and daughter wouldn’t be so confident, just two people charging in here at first.

Lu Xi’an suddenly thought of the Type A Neo-Humans left behind by him and Yao Wei on Qin Mountain earlier.

According to Lu Shou, this Type A Neo-Human could also use a mark to send signals, but for some reason, this Neo-Human didn’t ultimately do so...

Hmm...

Perhaps he did, but didn’t say it, and now these enemies of Yao Wei, whom they have already killed, didn’t have the chance to say anything before they were wiped out.

Weren’t these people already starting to run away before? Who knows if it was discovered through the Resonant Gene Scanner or through the marks on them, or the communication from this Type A Neo-Human?

Anyway, no matter what, all this is futile for them now.

These people all died here, not a single one left.

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei left here with their weapons and Gou, their speed northward like planes in the sky.

They pushed their speed to the limit, which was also a form of release for Yao Wei.

So, quickly, leaving Jiangnan, passing halfway through Jiangbei, spring blossomed.

Thus they confirmed, the severe cold was only in the south at that moment, with heavy snow even just in Jiangnan.

The two of them slightly slowed down, Lu Xi’an held Yao Wei’s hand, but said nothing.

However, Yao Wei could feel Lu Xi’an’s concern, so she said, "I’m okay, it’s just that I’ve prepared for so long, worried for so long, journeyed for so long, suddenly getting revenge, I feel empty inside, suddenly don’t know what to do..."

Lu Xi’an asked, "Aren’t you upset about your dad and sister’s sudden appearance?"

Yao Wei was silent for a moment, then said, "A little... I never thought they’d appear, especially... my sister, it’s a bit confusing in my mind.

"But it’s okay, they’ve appeared just like that, I’ll meet them later."

Yao Wei’s thoughts were direct and clear, it seems her main disappointment was still due to the sudden completion of revenge, leaving her without a goal.

Thinking about it, she had worried for twenty years, prepared for twenty years, then embarked on the journey, once traveled from south to north, now from north to south, so many hardships, so many desperate efforts, all for this one goal of revenge.

Four years ago they went up to Caiyang Mountain, thinking to learn and achieve, then emerge from the mountain, and have an earth-shattering battle with their enemies, how could revenge be easy then.

But now, the enemies suddenly appeared before them, and were suddenly annihilated. So easily, the emptiness of losing the goal naturally surged in.

Lu Xi’an tightened his grip on Yao Wei’s hand, saying, "Don’t think too much, I’m always here, and I will continue to be with you in the days to come.

"Now that this goal is over, we’ll find the next one. Life always has many stages, many goals, we’ll find them slowly."

"Hmm."

Yao Wei nodded, her expression slightly softened. It seemed Lu Xi’an’s firm grip gave her a sense of peace.

However, her expression still showed some confusion.

Lu Xi’an then said, "At worst, we’ll have children."

Yao Wei was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then nodded seriously.

"But we’ll have to wait a little longer."

Yao Wei said, "Wait until after we’ve gone through East Sea City."

It seems she’s not planning to stay in East Sea City.

Lu Xi’an smiled and said, "Alright, as you say."

Yao Wei’s agreement made him look forward to it, wondering if the children he and Yao Wei will have would be boys or girls, and whether they’d look more like him or Yao Wei?

Also, the children of two Type A Neo-Humans should also be Type A Neo-Humans, right? Would this child be able to slap Luo Ping a few meters away at birth?

"Feeling better?"

"A bit better."

"Then let’s keep going."

"Okay."

Their speed picked up again, continuing northward.
