CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 311: GOOD PERSON

A slap can always bring clarity to a person.

After receiving countless slaps, the B-type Neo-Human, whose cheeks were swollen, finally quieted down.

Lu Xi’an exhaled lightly and said, "You finally calmed down. You should know that slapping you isn’t easy; it requires controlling my strength carefully, it’s much harder than killing you."

The B-type Neo-Human in his hand trembled all over, while the corner of the eye of the A-type Neo-Human outside the pit twitched.

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei each grabbed a B-type Neo-Human, and picked up the strange "rat" that had been crushed to death in the pit, then leaped out of the pit.

Lu Xi’an said, "You watch them, I’ll go get the car."

After learning some things from the mouth of this B-type Neo-Human, he had some questions he needed to consult Gou about, requiring Gou to speak.

"Okay."

Yao Wei agreed with a nod.

Lu Xi’an then threw down the B-type Neo-Human and went north with Gou in hand.

However, Yao Wei frowned as she looked at the two living people in front of her. She always felt that these two people looked "intact", which was somewhat unsafe.

The B-type Neo-Human had just surfaced and didn’t know much about Yao Wei, while the A-type Neo-Human had already spent some time with this silent woman.

During this time, although the woman did nothing, the A-type Neo-Human was on edge and inexplicably sensed something crucial.

Seeing Yao Wei frown, his heart suddenly pounded wildly, and he became vigilant.

Then, he felt a blur before his eyes, a warmth on his face, and a bloody scent rushed to his nose, accompanied by relentless and anguished wailing nearby.

Compared to this wailing, the "hissing" sound he had made from enduring the pain earlier was nothing.

He turned his head in panic and saw that the B-type Neo-Human beside him had already lost his arms and legs, with blood gushing out, a ghastly sight.

The person who was once his enemy turned into such a state, yet instead of feeling a sense of relief, he was deeply startled with a little empathy.

He looked at Yao Wei in utter horror but saw that Yao Wei had somehow already drawn a small knife.

That knife was covered with blood, clearly having just done its duty.

Yao Wei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your ability should be able to stop the bleeding."

The pheromones of the B-type Neo-Human can directly act on his body, growing to a certain extent, bypassing mental will, directly causing the body to produce some hemostatic effects. The A-type Neo-Human, who had worked with this former enemy for some time, also knew about it.

Seeing the B-type Neo-Human’s lips trembling and quivering non-stop, with cold sweat beading on his forehead, he nodded reluctantly. Then the blood spurting from his shoulder and thigh roots suddenly stopped, his face turning pale.

Seeing Yao Wei’s eyes glance over at him, he hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Wait, don’t do it! I’m a good person! I’m a good person!"

These words were naturally said subconsciously, and as soon as he said them, he felt he was doomed.

In this damn world, who cares about what good people are?! Saying that he was a good person was of no use?!

Saying this is not better than saying that he is a woman without a male organ, at least that would be a bit peculiar and arouse the curiosity of the woman in front of him.

If she became curious, she might pause for a moment. He could then stall a bit and try to figure out how to persuade her to spare his limbs.

But just as this A-type Neo-Human fell into despair, the woman in front of him suddenly stopped.

"A good person?"

Yao Wei looked at him and asked.

The A-type Neo-Human, confused and grateful at the same time, was ecstatic. What he had said offhand actually worked!

What is happening?!

But he didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately continued, "Yes! Yes! I am a good person! I’m different from them! I couldn’t stand them eating their own kind, so I defected from Northern County!

"And I went to the Healing Village downstream—you know about Healing Village, right? I built a village downstream..."

Yao Wei nodded.

This A-type Neo-Human gradually cleared his thoughts and let out a long breath.

He continued, "In our Healing Village, we don’t even eat ordinary people!"

Yao Wei frowned slightly but said nothing more, only stating, "Then wait a bit more, we’ll talk later."

The A-type Neo-Human let out a secret sigh of relief, responded with an "Oh," and closed his mouth obediently.

Yao Wei said to wait a bit more, naturally to wait for Lu Xi’an to come over.

At this time, Lu Xi’an was already sitting in the RV, driving it back onto the road.

The mechanical dog was in place, and as Lu Xi’an drove south, he asked, "Gou, can you scan and find out what the B-type Neo-Human said they marked on me?"

The mechanical dog replied, "Upon scanning, a fungus stone-like substance was found on your epidermis structure. The specific components cannot be analyzed but confirmed as a human secretion. Specific locations include the back of the hand, the scalp, and other areas."

Lu Xi’an immediately thought of what the B-type Neo-Human said previously—someone ate the fungus stone, and some ate the meat of Neo-Humans who had eaten the fungus stone.

So these people’s bodies contain the components of the fungus stone and can secrete this component for use as a mark?

But how did the B-type Neo-Human mark it on him?

"What are the specific functions of this mark, can it be analyzed?"

Lu Xi’an asked again.

Gou replied, "Insufficient information, unable to analyze specifically. Currently analyzable content is—after being absorbed, this component has a positive promotive effect on Neo-Humans."

So, are there any benefits?

Lu Xi’an was completely baffled.

What he was concerned about now was the marking mentioned by the Type C Neo-Humans...

Lu Xi’an continued to ask, "Can this marking be removed?"

Gou answered, "The structure components of the Fungus Stone cannot be eliminated; they can only be naturally absorbed. After absorption, it will have a positive effect on the Neo-Human individual."

Gou had already mentioned this latter half of the sentence before.

Lu Xi’an sighed inwardly. It seemed that this question couldn’t be solved by asking Gou; he would have to ask those two people.

He stopped talking, focused on driving, stepped on the gas to increase the speed, and in no time, arrived beside the broken tree.

Stopping the car by the roadside, Lu Xi’an got out of the car and immediately saw the miserable state of those two Neo-Humans, causing an involuntary twitch at the corner of his eye.

Yao Wei, the living King of Hell!

He walked up and asked, "Why are the two still being treated separately?"

The face of the B-type Neo-Human turned pale again.

Yao Wei pointed to the B-type Neo-Human and said, "He said he’s a good person."

"Is that so?"

Lu Xi’an glanced at the B-type Neo-Human, raising an eyebrow.

It seemed there was a turning point!

"Yes, yes! I’m a good person! I’m different from them. I don’t eat my kind! I don’t even eat ordinary people now!"

The B-type Neo-Human repeated what had just been said.

Lu Xi’an glanced at him and said, "Really? So, you used to eat?"

The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah... yeah... isn’t that normal?"

Lu Xi’an sighed inwardly; indeed, he and Yao Wei were out of place in this world.

And Luo Ping...

They were the true anomalies in this world.

Lu Xi’an didn’t continue on this topic. He picked up the B-type Neo-Human, turned to Yao Wei, and said, "I’ll ask him some questions a little farther away."

"Okay."

Yao Wei agreed.

Lu Xi’an then carried the B-type Neo-Human a few steps away. He moved so quickly that the B-type Neo-Human couldn’t handle it for a moment, his face turning even paler.

After stopping, he took a moment to recover slightly.

Lu Xi’an asked, "Can you tell me in detail about Northern County and your Sickness Village and Healing Village situation?"

Jiangnan is already in the south, yet there’s a place called Northern County, and there’s also a Sickness Village and a Healing Village. Those are quite odd names...

Seeing Lu Xi’an asking him questions, the man quickly began to explain seriously, "Northern County is the largest power group in Jiangnan City aside from Jiangnan County.

"It’s led by Boss Liang and Deputy Leader Xu. They’ve unified many nearby places, including Biyun County, Tingxi County, and Daze County, all of them have to listen to the Northern County.

"Initially, the Northern County almost controlled a county in the northern Jiangbei City. But later, a person who played with ants suddenly appeared in that county; her ants were too formidable, almost causing calamity to Boss Liang. Afterward, Boss Liang didn’t dare to head north again."

Lu Xi’an hadn’t expected to hear about Xuan Xiaocao from this person’s mouth.

But, on recalling, Xuan Xiaocao’s ants were indeed formidable, devouring people without leaving bones, no wonder they made Northern County retreat.

The B-type Neo-Human continued, "I was originally from Biyun County, but eventually, I had to submit to Northern County. After submitting, I realized that they actually ate their kind and relied on this to enhance their strength — relying on eating the bodies of kind infused with Fungus Stone."

He spoke indignantly, saying, "Damn it, they’re worse than beasts! How could I do such a thing!? So when they forced me to eat my kind, I rebelled.

"I escaped from them and even saved the people of Sickness Village, becoming a thorn in their side. They are all beasts and absolutely cannot tolerate an anomaly like me who won’t eat their kind!

"So I’m a good person, and they are not!"

Lu Xi’an temporarily harbored doubts about what he said, but some related information could possibly be trusted.

He asked, "Under Boss Liang and Xu’s command, how many Neo-Humans are there? What types are they? How many have been enhanced by eating their kind?"

The man replied, "Including Biyun County, Daze County, and Xiting County, there are a total of four Type A Neo-Humans, two B-type Neo-Humans, five Type C, and one D-type.

"But that’s when I was there previously. I don’t know the current numbers."

This personnel configuration is indeed strong!

"And how many have become stronger by eating Fungus Stones?"

Lu Xi’an asked again.

He had already heard that those who ate Fungus Stones were stronger than those Neo-Humans who ate corpses containing Fungus Stones.

The man replied, "Only two, just Boss Liang and Xu, and the others who ate Fungus Stones became meat in others’ bellies."

It seems the method of consuming Fungus Stones has a quite low success rate.

Lu Xi’an gave a slight sigh of relief and asked, "What exactly is the marking that they mentioned?"
