Lu Xi'an wasn't sure if those three red dots were preparing ants, but he was certain that the ones needing to prepare ants must be among those three red dots behind them.

The three people moving at extreme speeds on the map were obviously two Type A Neo-Humans, just like the long-legged man and woman from before.

And the other one was naturally the Type C Neo-Human, carried on the back of one of the Type A Neo-Humans, responsible for enhancing the strength of the two Type A Neo-Humans.

According to the previous woman, this group included two Type C Neo-Humans, with the other being their leader—Xuan Xiaocao.

Among their six red dots, Fungus Stone must count as one. And such an important thing as a red dot must be in the hands of the boss, Xuan Xiaocao.

So, among the fast-moving red dots, the Type C Neo-Human must be the previous "Duan."

Xuan Xiaocao, along with Fungus Stone and another Neo-Human, must be remaining behind, likely still in the vehicle.

Moreover, the route can be determined; the front trio is just a feint, with the main goal to hold them back.

After all, the previous combination of two Type A and one Type C Neo-Humans already had a bout with them and faced a crushing defeat.

That group likely thinks that Lu Xi'an's side is also two Type A and one Type C, and very strong. So when they strike again, how could they bet everything on the speedily coming duo of two Type A and one Type C?

Their leader, Xuan Xiaocao, must act personally.

As for the remaining red dot, whether it's B-type or D-type, needs to be judged according to the situation—

If those three red dots come together later, it must be D-type. D-type cooperates well with Type C, and with stealth attacks, it could yield excellent results.

But B-type doesn't work like that. If B-type can team up with Type C, the best approach would be to draw firepower at the front, distracting attention to enable the Type C Neo-Human to attack unexpectedly.

However, the current role of B-type has been replaced by the speedily arriving duo of two Type A and one Type C, making it largely redundant.

So, if it's B-type, the biggest likelihood is that it'll stay in the car watching over it.

Unless the enemy is being exceptionally extravagant, willing to abandon their car and its supplies.

—Anyway, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei can't afford to do that.

Of course, we can't exclude the chance that the enemy would go all out, even if it meant growing their cheerleader ranks, desperate for victory.

"Yao Wei, you drive the car and hide for now; I'll stay here and deal with them alone."

Lu Xi'an made his judgment and spoke.

But Yao Wei hurriedly interjected, "How can that be?! You..."

Her words weren't finished when Lu Xi'an interrupted.

Time was pressing, so Lu Xi'an briefly shared his conjecture with Yao Wei, stating only the conclusion without explaining the reasoning.

Yao Wei, always trusting Lu Xi'an's words, had no doubts despite lacking the rationale.

Lu Xi'an knew this well.

He quickly reported his judgment to Yao Wei and then said, "To win now, to survive, there's no other way.

"I can hold those two off for a while; the key to winning this battle lies with you.

"You need to drive away, find a sniping spot, and once you see the remaining red dots on the Resonant Gene Scanner start moving, let Gou control the car and hide.

"If only two red dots move and one remains stationary, prepare the sniper rifle and take out the ones coming after us.

"If they all move, let Gou hide the car, then bring the drone to find you, see if it can scan those who are coming stealthily. If it can't, the drone is your fallback.

"Regardless, don't rush to act. Those three I'm dealing with aren't the main concern; sniping them won't help. The focus is the leader Xuan Xiaocao mentioned before, her ants could pose a threat to us."

"Got it!"

Seeing Lu Xi'an's determination, Yao Wei didn't decline further and simply said, "Take care."

Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "Don't worry, I can hold for a while. The key sniping depends on you."

"Mm."

Yao Wei parked the car and let Lu Xi'an jump out.

She followed, helping Lu Xi'an lift the car into the wild.

The RV and Yao Wei both needed to hide; they had to find a vantage point suitable for sniping, which meant leaving the road.

The roadway was slightly elevated, flanked by two small ditches, thus requiring them to lift the car over to enter the wild.

Once the car was placed, Lu Xi'an smiled, "Fortunately, that group didn't think of this trick; if they attacked from the wild, they might have already caught up to us."

Yao Wei replied, "They don't have Gou; they might puncture their tires on something."

"True..."

Lu Xi'an said.

The wild terrain was chaotic, filled with weeds; not even Type A Neo-Humans could see clearly what's lurking beneath.

If something unsuitable punctured a tire, the car would be as good as finished.

Whenever Yao Wei left the road to enter the wild, she would check the environment in advance. Ever since they had Gou, things became much easier; everything relied on Gou.

However, that group didn't have Gou, how could they blindly venture into the wild?

Lu Xi'an took many things from the car, like pebbles, batteries, discarded car keys, wrenches, screwdrivers, syringes, and stuffed them into his pockets, making them bulge.

The short needles from the previous battle were nearly used up, and they hadn't had a chance to pick them up, so now other hidden weapons would come into play.

These hidden weapons were collected by him, piece by piece, over time.

Lu Xi'an stuffed his clothes thoroughly, patted his pocket with satisfaction, and then took a previously found radiator pipe to tuck at his waist, saying to Yao Wei, "Alright, let's go. Those three people should be coming to kill us soon."

Yao Wei pressed her lips together, suddenly came over, and hugged Lu Xi'an, saying, "Be careful."

"Mm, I know."

Lu Xi'an felt warm inside, cupped Yao Wei's cheeks, and said, "Come on, give me a kiss."

He had said this to Yao Wei before, and she already knew what it meant. Without a word, she leaned in with her lips.

Of course, this kiss wasn't deep or long; time was tight. They just had a simple touch and then separated.

Yao Wei said, "After this battle is over, we..."

Lu Xi'an hurriedly covered Yao Wei's lips and said, "Don't set up a death flag before a fight, it's bad luck."

Yao Wei didn't understand what Lu Xi'an meant by "flag," but it was clear that he wanted her to stop talking, so she held her tongue, nodded, and said again, "Be careful."

Then she quickly got into the car and drove deeper into the wilderness.

Lu Xi'an took a deep breath and stood leisurely on the highway. Before long, he saw two figures rushing towards him.

—Or should I say three.

Among the three, there was a duo that Lu Xi'an had seen before, specifically the long-legged man and the short Type C Neo-Human, Duan.

The other one was burly, with bulging muscles, and like the long-legged man, his eyes were bloodshot, veins popping, clearly a Type A enhanced by a Type C Neo-Human.

Lu Xi'an, waiting in ambush, took his time. Once the two reached a close range, he picked up two pebbles and shot them out with a "whoosh."

"Watch out!"

The long-legged man quickly warned the burly man beside him. They stopped in their tracks and dodged Lu Xi'an's hidden weapon.

"Didn't I tell you? This guy loves to pull this trick."

The long-legged man said.

"Thanks."

The burly man said.

The two had stopped, with no intention of attacking Lu Xi'an immediately. Lu Xi'an could tell at a glance that these people were indeed trying to delay time.

And he was happy to comply.

The long-legged man said, "Where's your woman? Why are you alone?"

Lu Xi'an said, "Guess."

"..."

The long-legged man fell silent for a moment, then said, "This is our second fight. Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Cai Tou. The one behind me is Duan, and this guy is Liang. You can call him Old Liang. And you? What's your name?"

Lu Xi'an said, "Kakarot."

The long-legged man said, "Are you kidding me? That's such a long name."

Lu Xi'an said, "Then you can call me Old Ka."

The long-legged man said, "Alright, Old Ka. Where's your girl? Could it be she's hiding the car? What kind of car do you have? It's so fast and always seems to have fuel."

Lu Xi'an said, "No more fuel. My wife carried the car away."

The long-legged man said, "So you're really alone now?"

Lu Xi'an laughed, "What, think it's a good chance to take me down?"

The long-legged man said, "Relax, we're not attacking together; let's have a one-on-one." Saying this, he whispered to the burly man, Liang, "You go. I'll keep an eye on Duan and watch out for his woman."

"Damn, you're assigning me jobs now,"

Liang said displeased.

But he followed the instructions, took out a steel pipe, gripped it tightly, and charged at Lu Xi'an.

Lu Xi'an pulled out the radiator pipe tucked at his waist and said, "I've got one too." Then he met Liang head-on.

"Clang!"

The moment they clashed, the steel pipe and radiator pipe collided and both broke. Almost simultaneously, they threw the pieces they were holding at each other, dodged the other's "hidden weapon," grabbed the broken parts in the air, and threw them out with force again.

Dodging again, punching again, their actions were synchronized, as if they were trained by the same master.

Immediately, the two entangled in a fierce fight.

Meanwhile, on the road to the north, the van stopped shaking, and Xuan Xiaocao dressed and got out of the car, saying, "They're fighting. Quick, get out. Let's go."

The man sitting next to her in the same row also dressed and got out of the car, shivering from the cold. Then Xuan Xiaocao grabbed him, and with the radiation from the Fungus Stone, he felt better.

"What about this car?"

The man asked, conflicted, "There's a Resonant Gene Scanner in it. Should we just leave it here? What if someone steals it?"

Xuan Xiaocao impatiently and disdainfully said, "Why do you care about these things? Wooden head, you're nothing but skin and a couple of pounds of meat!"

After the disdain, she said, "Didn't I already deduce this for you? That group's car is better than ours and also has a Resonant Gene Scanner. We go take theirs. Isn't that better?"

The man didn't dare argue, hurriedly smiled, and said, "You're right."

Xuan Xiaocao said, "Alright, let's go. Once we're done, we'll take their car, and I'll take you for a ride in the new car so we can enjoy ourselves to the full!"
