Apocalypse: Last Traveler

Chapter 210: Just Smile and That's Enough


Flipping further, regarding the introduction of the Type A Neo-Humans, Lu Xi'an had actually already gained a basic understanding from the pamphlet of the Neo-Humans in Mengxin City.

In this manual, the content is not much different, indicating that Type A Neo-Humans focus on enhancing physical fitness as their core, specializing in breakthroughs in combat and survival abilities, with extraordinary performance in strength, speed, and resilience.

Flipping further along, there is an analysis of the characteristics, combining the previous introduction, analyzing and explaining from various aspects such as strength and speed, endurance, dynamic vision, and environmental perception.

Then, the next two items are the key points.

In the development and training guide, this booklet offered numerous solutions from aspects such as strength enhancement, reaction training, environment utilization, and weapon adaptation, which greatly inspired Lu Xi'an.

On the other hand, the booklet also dissected the physical characteristics of Type A Neo-Humans, analyzing how to adjust movements and use strength to maximize the features of Type A Neo-Humans.

These things are elaborated in extreme detail, but from Lu Xi'an's perspective, this part feels like a peerless secret manual in a martial arts novel, holding immense significance for Type A Neo-Humans.

This part essentially combines inner strength and outer strength, enabling Lu Xi'an to understand himself comprehensively.

He had always been training as if he were a strengthened ordinary person, but in reality, the changes in his physical intensity were incomparable to those of ordinary people.

Training methods and combat techniques of ordinary people could indeed enhance one's strength, but they absolutely could not achieve perfection.

However, the content in the booklet is a scientific analysis and guidance on the body of Type A Neo-Humans, proposing an extreme development and utilization down to the muscles of their bodies, based on the physical fitness and immense self-control of Type A Neo-Humans.

Lu Xi'an could be sure that if he trained according to the contents of this booklet, he would definitely see tremendous improvement, allowing his strength to far exceed the current level.

Seeing this, he became increasingly expectant and quickly flipped to the next content—advanced techniques.

Yet at this point, he felt a bit disappointed.

The advanced techniques mainly discussed the cooperative combat methods of the four types A, B, C, and D, rather than the in-depth development of each type of Neo-Human's abilities.

He skimmed through a few pages and then planned to close the booklet and put it away for now.

But just as he was flipping, he suddenly stumbled upon a section of the content—

Type C Neo-Humans can enhance the willpower training of the other three types of Neo-Humans during training.

Through daily training, Type C Neo-Humans can use their abilities to increase the resistance to specific pheromones in the other three types of Neo-Humans, preventing other types of Neo-Humans from losing control on the battlefield when encountering enemy Type C Neo-Humans.

So, on those battlefields back then, did those foreign enemies also have Type C Neo-Humans?

In that case, the X-17 Strain was not exclusive to our country.

However, it's better not to consider past matters, what's important is the future.

Lu Xi'an turned to Luo Ping and said, "These strain injections, Yao Wei and I don't need them, they're all yours. If they can enhance your team's strength, that would be the best.

"But you must be careful, as it also states inside that even after testing with compatibility test strips, the strain injections might produce rejection reactions.

"I have not seen what rejection reactions look like with other types, but I have seen the D-type. Look at Master Shu, and you'll understand."

"Me?!"

Shu pointed at his nose, momentarily not knowing how to react.

Lu Xi'an nodded and said, "Yes, your reaction is the rejection reaction of the D-type X-17 Strain.

"You should have decayed and peeled away and died, but you were saved by the anomaly that appeared on Sword Mountain back then, soaked in that green pool, and now you also rely on the green pool to sustain your life.

"Besides you, I also saw two people in Jianshan City who were about the same as you, with the same symptoms and also the same solution, though there were some differences in minor details, such as their dependence on the green water, etc.

"I suspect this also relates to the rejection reaction, and degree of rejection to the D-type strain in you."

Shu was surprised: "Ah?! Those two can invis too?"

Lu Xi'an shook his head and said, "No, with those two, I didn't see their invisibility abilities. One of them used the Type C Strain injection, so the abilities used were primarily Type C.

"As for the other, they were in a deep sleep for decades, and in a severely energy-deficient state, they had seriously aged. This is also a D-type ability, which I have seen in you and Chai Xin."

Upon hearing Lu Xi'an's words, Chai Xin immediately showed a bit of fear in her expression, her eyes widened: "Ah?! Then I'd better not sleep too much in the future!"

Lu Xi'an glanced at Chai Xin and laughed: "It's not that serious. Just be careful in the future, don't get hurt and fall into a deep sleep, or keep sleeping for long periods, letting your energy seriously deplete."

"Oh."

Chai Xin nodded but was still a bit worried. She was quite unhappy, thinking about why she couldn't be a Type A Neo-Human like the big brother and sister?

Type A Neo-Humans are so great, so powerful, and so good-looking.

—Based on what she had seen and heard, she had already equated good looks with the ability type.

The ones she had seen who looked good were Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, while Zhou Zheng pointed to Luo Ping. Among the pair of a man and a woman previously, there was a Type A Neo-Human, but she selectively ignored that. Anyway, when she saw Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, she felt that Type A Neo-Humans were very good-looking.

After talking with Shu and Chai Xin, Lu Xi'an then spoke to Luo Ping: "Also, when you distribute the injections, be sure to choose the right people, ensure the people are reliable, make sure they are trustworthy, and have a good mentality.

"Make sure that the people you choose will not have a change in mentality even when they gain power, wanting to lord over ordinary people. Otherwise, you might just fail again."

"You're right."

Luo Ping nodded and said, "But big brother and sister, aren't you planning to stay here?

"This place was opened by you, it surely belongs to you. With such a good place, why run off to other places?"

"Actually, all I'm asking, big brother and sister, is for you to leave us a place where we can settle down."

He put away his usual flippant demeanor, speaking with utmost seriousness, which made Lu Xi'an a bit unaccustomed.

Chai Xin hurriedly added, "Yes, yes, big brother and sister, aren't you staying?" Her eyes were filled with anticipation, only hoping that Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei would stay.

To her, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were just like her big brother and sister, pulling her out from that desperate place and turning her into a Neo-Human.

And this time, when she fell into a deep sleep, it was also the big brother and sister who saved her.

If they could stay by her side, how wonderful that would be!

Shu also nodded repeatedly.

Lu Xi'an glanced at Yao Wei and saw her looking dazed, lost in thought, so he didn't bother her and planned to speak.

But just as he was about to, Yao Wei tugged at his sleeve.

He turned his head to see Yao Wei had come back to her senses and was staring at him.

"Come, I have something to say to you."

Yao Wei said to Lu Xi'an.

Lu Xi'an was slightly taken aback, then said to Luo Ping and the others, "Wait a moment."

He turned and followed in Yao Wei's footsteps, out of the room and into the RV on the central platform.

The vehicle hadn't been locked yet. Yao Wei got into the passenger seat, and Lu Xi'an went around to sit in the driver's seat.

The RV was a bit far from the room, and once the doors were closed, it was quite soundproof; talking here meant those in the platform room couldn't hear them.

"This car is really nice."

Yao Wei stretched out her slender fingers, touched the control panel's large screen, and said softly.

Gou had already left the front console; it had been following Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei all along. Now that they were back by the car, Yao Wei had brought it along.

So, the car wasn't powered on, and Yao Wei was touching the blank screen of the control panel.

The screen was incredibly smooth, and it felt so pleasant to touch.

Lu Xi'an said, "Yes, it's really nice. From now on, driving this car will be way more comfortable than driving yours."

Yao Wei was silent for a moment and said, "But, you can get off the car now."

Lu Xi'an: "..."

Yao Wei continued, "Our initial agreement was that you'd ride with me, and once we found a place to settle, you'd get off.

"Now this place is more than suitable for settling down. I've been to so many places, and I've never seen a place more fitting for settling than this."

Lu Xi'an glanced at Yao Wei, seeing her calm demeanor but knowing beneath that calm exterior lay a sadness she couldn't quite conceal nor wanted to show.

When did this woman become so sentimental and awkward?

Lu Xi'an thought to himself, yet found Yao Wei's current sentimentality and awkwardness incredibly endearing.

—Because he knew very well that her sentimentality and awkwardness were all because of him.

"But you're still going to leave."

Lu Xi'an spoke.

Yao Wei was slightly startled, turning to look at Lu Xi'an, not understanding why he would say such a thing out of the blue.

She was definitely going to leave. She hadn't said it to Lu Xi'an, but they should both understand without speaking.

Lu Xi'an knew she was heading south, even knew what she was going to do.

"If you're leaving, this place won't be a place of refuge for me."

Lu Xi'an looked directly into her eyes, speaking with utmost sincerity, "I remember I told you before, my place of peace is my home. How can my place of refuge lack you?

"Perhaps, one day, this place can become my refuge, but not now.

"Someday, if we head south together to the very end, we can return, and by then, perhaps we can truly settle here."

The car was silent, and so was the outside.

Those in the room on the platform were peeking over, looking at them, but to Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, they were just silent paintings, irrelevant.

After a long time, Yao Wei finally said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what to say."

"Just smile, that's all."

A phrase slipped out of Lu Xi'an's mouth.

Yao Wei was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile on her lips.
