Apocalypse: Last Traveler-Chapter 401 - 380: Type A’s Fear of Type C, and Luo Ping

"What's up?"

Luo Ping asked.

Lu Xi'an replied, "I'll tell you when you get here."

Luo Ping: "..."

This answer left Luo Ping stumped. He immediately gathered his team, packed up, and set off for Yangcai County, Coastal City.

Now, with the sea tide just receded, it would take some time for it to return. Therefore, when Luo Ping and his team arrived in Yangcai County, they could still ascend Caiyang Mountain.

This time, it was the old crew: Luo Ping, Chai Xin, Tang Er, Liu Hua, plus an old friend, Tang.

The five of them drove four cars, each packed with iron sheets of various sizes and shapes, arranged neatly and haphazardly. When they opened the car doors, it was quite a sight.

Not only in the cars, but they also tied quite a few on the roofs.

"Why did you bring so many iron sheets?"

Lu Xi'an asked curiously.

Luo Ping answered, "We had no choice. There are too many cars at home, and we can't use them all. Plus, we've been out a lot recently, using the cars frequently. We estimated that at this rate, we would run out of fuel.

"And we now have more horses at home. We made saddles based on the history books. This time to East Island, we plan to have Old Yuan forge some horseshoes and stirrups.

"In the future, we can rely mainly on horses for travel, only using cars when necessary.

"This way, we can save fuel for emergencies."

Lu Xi'an nodded. To think that back when those guys were driven out of Mengze City, Wanquan County, they also did the same, hiding cars everywhere just in case.

However, unlike Luo Ping's group, those enemies had no horses and hadn't developed other means of transport, making it less convenient for them.

"Why don't you go to East Island and get someone from Old Yuan's to support you? In the future, you won't have to keep running to East Island whenever you want to forge something."

Lu Xi'an suggested.

Luo Ping nodded and said, "We've thought about that too, but we're worried it might be difficult.

"First, we're afraid they won't want to leave their home. Second, if we start smithing ourselves, won't that reduce their business? They might not be happy."

Lu Xi'an said, "I don't think you need to worry about that. We have enough money, cigarettes, or other things to make Old Yuan happy with a big one-time payment.

"Plus, with all the stuff at the base, we've shown off quite a bit on East Island, so there's certainly someone there who'd be willing to leave with us.

"As for Old Yuan's business, you don't have to worry either. A big payday should suffice, and East Island's scale can support their crafts.

"You just need to carefully select someone, so you don't end up bringing back someone incompetent."

Luo Ping said, "I'm not worried about that. We often go to the East Sea; they wouldn't dare deceive us."

"True."

Lu Xi'an nodded.

"Oh my! It moved! I can feel it! It's kicking me!"

Chai Xin's voice suddenly erupted, interrupting their conversation.

They both turned to look and saw Chai Xin already with Yao Wei, touching her belly. Liu Hua was also there, touching it curiously and enviously.

"Should we try for a child too?"

Liu Hua suddenly turned and asked Tang Er.

Cold sweat broke out on Tang Er's forehead instantly.

Luo Ping secretly laughed and quietly told Lu Xi'an, "Tang Er is a Type A Neo-Human now. Liu Hua can't handle him, and every time, he has to use his abilities to soften himself for her.

"After a while, Tang Er developed a shadow about it."

Lu Xi'an almost couldn't hold it in.

Now it's amusing—Liu Hua couldn't handle it, and now it's Tang Er who can't.

—Of course, this is because they both mutually accept each other. Otherwise, given Tang Er's resilience from years of training, Liu Hua would definitely be the one who couldn't take it.

Lu Xi'an glanced at Liu Hua and Tang Er, reminding Luo Ping, "You're aware that Tang Er is a Type A Neo-Human, so is it possible he can hear us even if you lower your voice?"

Then Luo Ping sneaked a glance at Liu Hua and continued to whisper to Lu Xi'an, "Actually, this is a good thing; I'm worried Tang Er doesn't see it that way.

"Think about it, if Liu Hua gets pregnant, Tang Er would be relieved, right? Ten months without doing it, and even after ten months, there'd be a long period without it.

"As Liu Hua's attention shifts to the child, it'll occupy her mind more. Isn't that great?"

He seemed to be talking to Lu Xi'an, but he was actually hinting at Tang Er.

Lu Xi'an said, "That makes sense," while casting a glance at Tang Er. Sure enough, he saw Tang Er nodding.

"Oh, right, big bro, I still haven't asked you the main thing."

Luo Ping suddenly said, "Big bro, you mentioned before that you have something to show me, what is it?

"You have to tell me quickly, or the suspense will kill me."

Lu Xi'an then took out a diary and handed it to Luo Ping, saying, "Here, see if you recognize the handwriting on this."

Luo Ping took the notebook, opened the first page without flipping to the last, and was stunned upon merely glancing at it.

"Teacher..."

He couldn't help but mumble, then quickly asked Lu Xi'an, "Big bro, have you seen my teacher?! Where is he?!"

As expected...

The owner of this diary was indeed Luo Ping's teacher, Luo Zheng.

Lu Xi'an sighed softly, saying to Luo Ping, "We haven't seen your teacher; we just found this diary in Jiannan City. You should look at the last page of the calendar."

Luo Ping immediately flipped through the calendar to the very last record and, as he read, froze. Though there were no tears, his eyes had turned red.

He looked up at Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, asking, "Big bro, big sis, where did you find this?"

Lu Xi'an replied, "In a village west of Qinghai County, Jiannan City, called Pu Family Mansion. There's a fungal zone there, and at its edge is a house; your teacher had a signboard hanging that labeled it 'Mushroom Eater's Home.'

He took out a map and pointed the location out to Luo Ping, adding, "Your teacher died from eating mushrooms. He probably had given up on living long ago. Judging from the end of his calendar, his death shouldn't have been too painful. My condolences."

Luo Ping remained silent, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand, big bro. This diary is for me, right?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Lu Xi'an said, "Who else would I give it to?"

Luo Ping replied, "Thanks, big bro."

Lu Xi'an suggested, "Why don't you head directly to Jiannan? Take Liu Hua and Tang Er with you for company on the road. I can handle the island matters for you."

Luo Ping thought it over for a while and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, big bro. My teacher is gone, what good would rushing there do?

"You take good care of big sis here, I'll handle East Island, and after I'm done, I'll go to Jiannan."

Lu Xi'an said no more.

Everyone waited on Caiyang Mountain for the tide, but during this time, Luo Ping was much more silent.
