Living Yama

The next time Luo Ping went, only sporadic gunshots could be heard from the direction of Fengcheng County. They were intermittent, and the fierce fighting seemed to have subsided.

But Lu Xi'an guessed it had nothing to do with the intensity of the fighting; it was likely because their ammunition had run out.

He couldn't help but sigh, "From now on, absolutely do not provoke Type B New Humans. They're like stubborn stains, too clingy!"

Yao Wei nodded in agreement.

Although she didn't understand what a "stubborn stain" was, she deeply empathized. She thought having an enemy like Sharp Brother was truly troublesome.

Not only could they not kill him, but he also stuck to you, depleting your ammunition. It was disgusting.

"We need to secure them."

She suddenly had an idea and said, "Chop off their heads and limbs, detach their jaws, and make sure they're completely dead. Then we won't have to worry about them reviving to eat."

Lu Xi'an couldn't help but glance at Yao Wei.

This woman was truly a living Yama.

"It's best to throw their heads into the river to feed the fish, and scatter the other parts too. Smashing them thoroughly with a hammer would also work," Lu Xi'an added.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling a slight sense of satisfaction at finding a solution.

They moved to a different spot and continued to have Doggy guide the drone to guard outside the county town.

No more gunshots came from the direction of the county town. After a long while, the sound of a car could be heard.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were on slightly higher ground. Following the sound, they saw that Luo Ping had actually reclaimed his car and was driving it over.

Doggy and the drone were on the roof of the car, not walking or flying, but hitching a ride.

Once Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei confirmed there was no risk, they stood up.

Luo Ping spotted them from afar, drove the car over, stopped below them, and looked up, laughing, "All done! Thanks for the food.

"I found two good spoils of war, I'll give them to you."

As he spoke, he got out of the car, opened the rear door, and took out two metal barrels.

These barrels were different from the round ones on Yao Wei's car. They were rectangular, with a sealed top, a handle, and a spout, unlike something used for carrying water.

Yao Wei was momentarily confused, not understanding what these things were for. But Lu Xi'an's eyes lit up: "Oil barrels?!"

Luo Ping said proudly, "That's right, oil barrels. How about that, good stuff, right? With these, we can store some gasoline in the car, which greatly alleviates range anxiety."

"Indeed, good stuff," Lu Xi'an nodded and said.

Yao Wei's car actually had a metal jug for holding gasoline.

When they first met, Yao Wei had been carrying that jug.

But that jug was too small, and it didn't have a lid on top. If she kept it full of oil in the car, it was prone to spilling and causing danger.

So Yao Wei had always treated that jug as a backup item.

In case the car ran out of gas completely somewhere and couldn't start, she would hide the car and use the jug to find oil.

But with these two oil barrels, it was different!

These oil barrels had sufficient capacity, and most importantly, the top was sealed, and even the spout had a small cap. Even when filled with oil, there was no need to worry about spills.

They were safe enough and could store more oil – truly an essential helper for travel!

Luo Ping said, "It's all thanks to your food! Where did you get such good things?

"After eating your rice and reviving, I feel much stronger than before! Compared to the white rice, what I ate before was practically pig slop!

"Relying on your rice just now, I went back and dealt with those people twice more, completely breaking them. They drove the car out specifically for me to take, not daring to keep it.

"Look, I still have a bag of rice left."

He said this while patting his coat pocket, making the bag inside rustle. However, the sound was muffled, likely because it was filled with rice.

After saying this, he tossed one of the metal oil barrels towards Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, saying, "Here's one for you, is that okay?

"I'm short on these too, I need to keep one for myself."

Yao Wei reached out and caught it.

Lu Xi'an said, "One is enough."

Space in the car was limited, and they couldn't fit any more.

Luo Ping sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity. My precious books were torn up and divided by those people. Otherwise, I could have given them to you.

"A bunch of bastards, what a waste! These things are meant to be read whole to be interesting. What's the point of dividing them?

"Some of them even tore a whole page in half to share!"

Lu Xi'an smiled, "Didn't you give me a comic book before? That comic book is enough."

Yao Wei recalled the content of the comic and pursed her lips, unable to resist glancing at Lu Xi'an.

After staying in the Shelter for a while and getting enough hydration daily, her lips were no longer dry and cracked like before. They looked rosy and clean, quite alluring.

Luo Ping caught a glimpse of Yao Wei's expression and immediately chuckled, "Right, right, right, one is enough."

After saying that, he turned serious and got down to business: "Brother, sister, you are both rare individuals in this world, and my base is precisely in need of people like you.

"Come with me, let's live a life worth living together. What do you say?"

Lu Xi'an turned to glance at Yao Wei, and she also turned to look at him, her expression seeming a little flustered.

Actually, Lu Xi'an was somewhat tempted by Luo Ping's invitation.

He didn't know what Luo Ping's base was like, but the fact that this guy could come out repeatedly to find people suggested it was a place with ample resources.

Moreover, from what Luo Ping said, he seemed to have already found like-minded individuals who were focusing on this new world and trying to ensure humanity's long-term survival within it.

Hadn't he himself been traveling from north to south precisely in search of such a place?

Yao Wei said there were oases in this world, and Luo Ping said they hadn't found any after searching for so long, so they should create their own oases. Lu Xi'an found this reasoning very sound.

Humans in the old era had progressed from primitive tribes step by step to modern society, building skyscrapers, cultivating crops, and raising livestock, turning the entire world into an oasis for human survival.

Why couldn't humans in the new world do the same?

It was just that...

Looking at Yao Wei, she seemed resistant, unwilling to interact with more people...

Never mind, he had only met Luo Ping once or twice, and the guy seemed cunning. Unlike Yao Wei, who was familiar and simple, who knew if this guy was telling the truth or not?

He should still be cautious.

"Let's forget it."

Lu Xi'an said, "We're already used to being just the two of us, and we really don't know how to get along with more people. Let's go our separate ways here.

"However, you can tell me roughly where your base is located. If we meet people with similar aspirations to yours in the future, we can introduce you to them, and they can find you."

Yao Wei instantly turned to look at Lu Xi'an, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Lu Xi'an noticed Yao Wei's gaze and returned a smile. Yao Wei quickly turned her head back, retracting her gaze.

Please support me!!!! I don't want to die!!!!
