Reconstruction Faction's Broadcast

The computer contained nothing else; Lu Xi'an had checked, and then shut it down.

He sighed a little and asked Yao Wei, "Do you think Fang Shuxin found the Reconstruction Faction?"

"I don't know."

Yao Wei shook her head again. She wasn't really interested in the question.

She had never heard of any Reconstruction Faction growing up. She had traveled everywhere, north, south, east, and west, and found nothing.

This so-called Reconstruction Faction must have already been buried in the dust of history. What was the point of thinking about it now?

Lu Xi'an said, "Actually, if you think about it, Luo Ping is quite like someone from the Reconstruction Faction. He even has a secret base. Do you think he might be a continuation of the Reconstruction Faction?"

"I don't know."

Yao Wei still shook her head. "Whether he is or not, isn't he already the current Reconstruction Faction?"

Lu Xi'an looked at Yao Wei, slightly surprised. He really didn't expect this woman to offer such an opinion.

Yao Wei felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and averted her eyes, not looking at Lu Xi'an. "What are you looking at?!"

This woman usually had a detached, expressionless demeanor. But now, she suddenly seemed a bit flustered, giving her a girlish charm that was actually quite cute.

"Nothing."

Lu Xi'an smiled. To avoid making Yao Wei uncomfortable, he stopped staring at her.

He said, "If Luo Ping is part of the Reconstruction Faction, then us taking on the task of finding teammates for Luo Ping means we've essentially become the Reconstruction Faction's broadcast."

"Mm."

Yao Wei agreed with this statement. Seeing that Lu Xi'an was no longer looking at her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go. There's nothing else here. There's no need to stay any longer."

Lu Xi'an said.

Yao Wei agreed again, "Mm."

The two of them didn't use the ladder in the corner. They climbed onto the passage and went through it with their backs hunched. After straightening up, they leaped out of the opening.

When that person left previously, they must have come out the same way.

Not using the ladder was probably a consideration to prevent people from easily going down, right?

When he left, he had even camouflaged the iron door, which was why no one had discovered this place until now.

Lu Xi'an turned back and looked down, thinking: I wonder if that Fang Shuxin is a New Human? Can he jump up directly like Yao Wei and me? If not, then he must have climbed up with a lot of effort.

Speaking of New Humans...

"Yao Wei, what model of New Human do you think we are?"

He asked.

According to Luo Ping, there should be more than one type of New Human.

Type B New Humans could fully recover their health by eating. What about other types?

How many types of New Humans are there in this world?

Also, how did New Humans come about? Before the catastrophe? After the catastrophe? Did they mutate from natural humans, or was there a process of artificial intervention?

Lu Xi'an felt a pang of regret. Why didn't he stop Luo Ping back then and ask more about this?

That guy should have known quite a bit.

"I don't know."

Yao Wei still shook her head. Her three-word answer didn't surprise Lu Xi'an.

She went into the room and retrieved the "Power Bank" from the stairs. Lu Xi'an also followed her in to take a look, and after confirming there was no need to explore further, he said, "Let's go."

"Mm."

Yao Wei agreed, but her eyes fell on Doggy.

She looked at Doggy, then at the "Power Bank" in her hand. Lu Xi'an didn't need to ask to know what she was thinking.

"Later, when we get in the car, let Doggy charge this Power Bank."

Lu Xi'an said.

"Mm."

Yao Wei nodded and said to Lu Xi'an, "Thank you."

Lu Xi'an smiled. "What are you thanking me for? Why are you being so polite with me?"

"Mm. You're welcome."

Yao Wei said, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

The two of them got into the car. After putting their things away, Lu Xi'an took the "Power Bank" from Yao Wei's hand and had Doggy open the power port and connect it.

Lu Xi'an started the car and asked, "Should we go look for Fang Shuxin's other shelter? I'm quite curious if anyone is still broadcasting in this world after so long."

"I'll take a look."

Yao Wei spoke as she took out World Atlas Volume One, flipped it open to the page for Mengxin City, and casually marked a spot on the "Everlasting Sky Petrochemical Gas Station" with a pen.

Watching Yao Wei's actions, Lu Xi'an suddenly thought of something and said, "Actually, Doggy can also make marks.

"Although it doesn't have a map, it has a function to record explored locations. Once a mark is made, it can lead me there if needed later.

"I used to have it mark a place called Wanhu Village in Dongmen County, up north.

"But later, we had to keep heading south, and I felt like we wouldn't be going back, so I didn't think I'd need it anymore and stopped using that function.

"I almost forgot about it."

Yao Wei glanced back at Doggy. Doggy was currently charging her Power Bank and was temporarily offline.

Lu Xi'an said, "After it's done charging, I'll have it make a mark too."

"Okay."

Yao Wei replied, then buried her head in World Atlas Volume One again.

She flipped back a page in the atlas and found Qiouming Road, saying, "Qiouming Road isn't in Mengxin City; it's in Yu Bei City, and it's a mountain road.

"There's a Hongni Village at the intersection, and we can't get around it. If we want to go, we have to pass through Hongni Village."

Lu Xi'an pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go take a look. After all these decades, with everything that's changed, who knows if the 'Decadent Faction' that used to occupy that place is still around?"

"Okay."

Yao Wei agreed. With the map in one hand and her gun in the other, she guided Lu Xi'an while also keeping watch.

Upon reaching the outskirts of Hongni Village, Lu Xi'an had Doggy interrupt its charging of the Power Bank and sent a drone to scout the area.

Hongni Village was already deserted. The houses had collapsed in swathes, not a single one intact. Indeed, with the passage of time, the "Decadent Faction" that had resided here was completely gone.

"You know, what exactly were the Decadent Faction that Fang Shuxin and the Reconstruction Faction talked about?" Lu Xi'an asked as they drove past Hongni Village.

Yao Wei pondered for a moment and replied, "They were probably people just like the ones we see now."

Lu Xi'an nodded and said, "That's what I thought too. Luo Ping was cursing the Decadent Faction earlier. You know, we're also not engaging in production, just searching for oases all the way. Does that make us part of the Decadent Faction too?"

Yao Wei shook her head again and replied, "No. You already said it yourself; we are the Reconstruction Faction's broadcast."

Lu Xi'an chuckled, "Right, right, right. We are the Reconstruction Faction's broadcast."

The car drove through Hongni Village and onto another winding mountain road in Yu Bei City.

Lu Xi'an had Doggy deploy the drone again, controlling it to follow the car and fly along the cliffside, helping them search for Fang Shuxin's former shelter.

Happy Second Day of the Lunar New Year! Please continue to follow along, everyone!
