The B-type Neo-Human’s face changed, becoming despondent and despairing, and said: "That mark... it’s a thod they gained after consuming Fungus Stone or bodies.
"Mainly it’s the Type C Neo-Humans, like that Yang Shuxia over there, people like them can mark soone without anyone noticing, and then anyone else who has consud Fungus Stone or bodies can sense it.
"He’s already marked all of us; we are destined not to survive. To put it bluntly, don’t bla for saying this... you all won’t survive either, just like us, this is a fact, I’m not cursing you..."
Lu Xi’an frowned slightly and asked again: "Is there no range on this mark? If we’re far away, can they still find us?"
Yang Shuxia?
This na sounds much better than the others’.
The B-type Neo-Human shook his head: "It’s no use... At that ti, soone ran over to Jianshan City—which should be called Sword Mountain, right? They went there, I didn’t.
"Anyway, soone was marked, ran to Sword Mountain, and was found and killed by them."
"Really?"
Lu Xi’an recalled the "World Map One" and felt that the distance from here to Jianshan City was much farther than to Caiyang Mountain.
Even farther than to Institute 923.
In that case, these two places also beca inaccessible, and a battle between myself and these people was inevitable.
"You’ve implicated us..."
Lu Xi’an sighed and said.
The B-type Neo-Human hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with us!
"Northern County has a Resonant Gene Scanner. Ever since they benefited from consuming Fungus Stone and bodies, they’ve been looking for lone Neo-Humans, thinking that if they have Fungus Stone, their strength can continue to enhance.
"Their grudge is with , and they specially ca to find and forced the people of Sickness Village to jump into the river to find , which got them marked too, dragging into the abyss.
"But you were already spotted when you passed by here! They want to capture you, and incidentally see if you have any Fungus Stone, nothing to do with !"
"Alright, I understand."
Lu Xi’an thought for a mont, then asked, "They said they have gains again, digesting during a al, how long does this digestion take?"
"A long ti. At least two months."
The B-type Neo-Human replied, "Whether it’s Fungus Stone or at containing Fungus Stone, it’s not that easy to digest; it takes at least a month and a half to digest all the at."
Lu Xi’an nodded, threw this person to the ground, and turned to head toward Yao Wei.
The B-type Neo-Human was tossed onto the ground, tried to wiggle around, wanting to see if he could run, but his limbs were out of control—how could he run?
Then Lu Xi’an turned back and glared at him, making him imdiately quiet down, like giving up, he lay sprawled on the ground, staring at the sky, unmoving.
Lu Xi’an returned to Yao Wei’s side, squatted down in front of the Type C Neo-Human that Yao Wei had already turned into a human stick, and first asked: "Are you called Yang Shuxia?"
"Yes, I was born under the trees."
Type C Neo-Human Yang Shuxia replied sullenly, coldly saying, "Looks like that Lu Shou told you a lot, huh. Did he also tell you he’s a good person?
"He was just shouting here, and I heard everything he said too."
Lu Xi’an said: "Really?"
Didn’t expect the B-type Neo-Human’s na was Lu Shou, and the origin of the Type C Neo-Human’s na was like this, suddenly it seed very dostic...
Yang Shuxia sneered: "Do you guys believe him? Ha! He’s a powerless waste, couldn’t even rank in our place, and when there was at, he couldn’t get any, so he sulked and ran away in fury.
"Running away was one thing, we didn’t care, but didn’t expect he’d also steal a piece of Fungus Stone. He was just begging to die!
"We searched for him for a long ti, and we thought when we found him, we’d definitely cut him into pieces.
"But we didn’t expect, he ran so far, and even relied on the people of Sickness Village to form a new power, getting the healthy ones in the village to serve him. Hmph! Really knows how to enjoy life!
"We got his trail this ti, actually ca to find him, now that his trail is locked, he has no chance to escape again.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, our encounter was actually a misunderstanding, there’s no deep-seated hatred.
"Our skills, I’m sure you know, opposing us brings you no benefits.
"If you release , I’ll permit you to join us; for this ti’s business, we won’t hold you accountable, once we catch the waste and get back the stolen Fungus Stone, we’ll feed him and kill him, then let you eat his at, how about it?"
Just as the words were out, Lu Xi’an "slapped" him twice.
Yang Shuxia was montarily stunned, how co these two aren’t affected by persuasion at all?!
After finishing the slapping, Lu Xi’an then asked: "How many Neo-Humans are there in Northern County, how many consud Fungus Stone, how many consud bodies? Spell it out for ."
Yang Shuxia, dizzy and dazed, but knowing that the person in front of him slaps without a reason, wasn’t about to argue.
Now his face was swollen like a pig’s head, unwilling to suffer such again, hearing Lu Xi’an’s question, dared not delay, hastily responded:
"Counting Biyun County, Daze County, Tingxi County, there are four Type A Neo-Humans, two B-types, five Type C and one D-type.
"Biyun County, Daze County, Tingxi County, these three counties are ours too."
As the words just fell, Lu Xi’an slapped again.
"Slap! Slap!"
Two slaps resounded, Yang Shuxia’s head spinning.
Lu Xi’an said: "Can’t match up."
Yang Shuxia was even dizzier: "It matches up!"
Lu Xi’an said: "Then say it again."
Yang Shuxia hurriedly said again: "Four Type A Neo-Humans, two Type B Neo-Humans, five Type C, one Type D, a total of twelve! Absolutely twelve, with included, it’s twelve, no problem!"
"Slap! Slap!"
Lu Xi’an gave two more slaps: "Then what’s this about Lu Shou saying otherwise?"
Yang Shuxia was on the verge of tears: "He’s lying to you, don’t hit ! Bro, you should hit him! Make him account for it."
Only then did Lu Xi’an nod, it seed indeed there was no problem, it matched up, Lu Shou wasn’t hiding anything on this matter.
—After just hearing Lu Shou’s words, and now hearing Yang Shuxia’s answer, Lu Xi’an was certain that a Rashomon was playing out before him.
Both of them had truths, but they also had lies.
For example, Lu Shou, he likely hid sothing from himself regarding the matter of cannibalism.
His previous statent "I’m a good person," allowed him to keep his arms and legs under his and Yao Wei’s protection, so he wanted to leave a good impression on both of them in this aspect.
Thus, when ntioning the past in Northern County, he concealed to so extent, saying he was indignant about the people there eating each other, which is why he left.
But from Yang Shuxia’s mouth, it turned into Lu Shou being unable to rank up, hence furiously leaving, and even stealing a piece of Fungus Stone.
Lu Shou never ntioned the Fungus Stone.
As for this Yang Shuxia, he desperately wanted to escape danger and have himself and Yao Wei spare him, so he concealed their motives in this matter.
Moreover, there’s one very important thing he didn’t say.
"We have Fungus Stone, you knew that, right?"
Lu Xi’an asked.
"Huh?! What?! You have Fungus Stone?! I didn’t know!"
Yang Shuxia was still playing dumb.
Lu Xi’an said: "You don’t need to pretend; you went straight to the bridge above Guanhai River to find us, and then changed direction to co here.
"That ans you didn’t leave a mark on before, you could only rely on the Resonant Gene Scanner to find us.
"You think I can’t see through that?"
There was no need to say more after that—
Only two of them have shown themselves now, and on the Northern County’s Resonant Gene Scanner, there would definitely be three red dots displayed, so Yang Shuxia could deduce that they have a piece of Fungus Stone on hand.
This guy isn’t a fool, he must be able to see it.
Lu Xi’an stared closely at Yang Shuxia, who hung his head and remained silent.
But Lu Xi’an didn’t give him the chance to keep pretending, and landed two slaps on him again.
"Slap! Slap!"
"Is it right?"
Yang Shuxia was stunned, didn’t dare to stay silent any longer, quickly nodded and said: "Right! Right! But the rest of what I said is true!
"I have no ill intentions; everything I just said is true, I genuinely wanted to bring you into our Northern County. Our Northern County is so strong, you won’t suffer coming in."
Lu Xi’an ignored his explanation and asked again: "When did you have your last feast?"
Yang Shuxia quickly answered: "Just a few days ago! A few days ago, we caught a passing Neo-Human, he carried a Fungus Stone, we stuffed it in his mouth and killed him.
"At that ti, I just happened to notice Lu Shou’s tracks, so I didn’t eat any of that person, left it all to others.
"This way, when we catch Lu Shou, I can enjoy half of it myself."
Lu Xi’an squinted his eyes: "So you saying you’d give two bodies was a lie?"
Yang Shuxia’s face turned gray, hurriedly said: "No! No! I’ll make great contributions later, and you can have all the at to eat!"
Lu Xi’an said: "Alright, I’ll take what you said as true. When can your people co?"
Seeing Lu Xi’an say this, Yang Shuxia thought Lu Xi’an had finally agreed, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xi’an continued to ask: "After eating the at, how long does it take for your people to digest? How long until they can co?"
This ti Yang Shuxia answered much more easily: "It takes a month and a half."
This also matched what Lu Shou said.
It appeared that Lu Shou wasn’t lying about these issues. He probably wanted to bring himself onto his side with this, which is why he truthfully inford him about these two points, right?
As Lu Xi’an contemplated this, he also asked: "What about your Boss Liang and Xu? Do they eat the at too?"
Yang Shuxia nodded and said: "They do, the more you eat this thing, the stronger you beco. As long as there’s at, they would eat first."
Lu Xi’an asked again: "Is the digestion also a month and a half?"
Yang Shuxia nodded again: "Yes, it’s the sa for all."
"Slap! Slap!"
Lu Xi’an landed two more slaps: "Is it really?"
Yang Shuxia stared wide-eyed at Lu Xi’an in disbelief.
This guy, how can he turn hostile so quickly?!
