After eating a hearty al, everyone had a good night’s rest and didn’t train the next day.
The enemy could attack at any ti, so training was no longer appropriate for the next couple of days. They needed to conserve energy and maintain their stamina.
As expected, that morning, Gou provided a warning—multiple red dots appeared on the Resonant Gene Scanner.
Lu Xi’an looked and saw eleven red dots on the western edge of the map.
The speed of the red dots wasn’t fast, suggesting that they were coming in vehicles. The Type A Neo-Humans hadn’t charged ahead first.
"They’re here, prepare to engage," Lu Xi’an said.
Everyone imdiately turned serious. Luo Ping quickly made arrangents: "Tang Er, Yao, you two go settle the villagers, gather the people from Healing Village, and tell them to evacuate east.
"You two can’t be picked up by the Resonant Gene Scanner and don’t have infection markers, which is precisely their blind spot. This task is suitable for you.
"After settling the villagers, you two take my car and, once the enemy’s front line stretches out, circle around to attack them from behind.
"The enemy has formations of all four types, and as Boss Liang and Xu ntioned before, their Type C Neo-Humans have abilities for long-range attacks, so their front line will likely be very long.
"As long as the Type A Neo-Humans distance themselves from others, you’ll have room to act. There’s a Resonant Gene Scanner and two power banks in my car; the power is fully charged. You can use the Resonant Gene Scanner to confirm the enemy’s position and find the right mont to strike."
"Understood."
The two incomplete Neo-Humans—Tang Er and Yao—accepted the order and prepared to leave.
After a considerable period of training, both had made significant progress. Tang Er’s strength had surpassed ordinary Type A Neo-Humans, and Yao was equivalent to a normal D-type Neo-Human.
And from the car, Yao had learned the exquisite use of D-type Neo-Human abilities, which was enough to conceal the entire vehicle.
Moreover, since the enemy was in the open while they were in the dark, Luo Ping felt assured in assigning them the mission of surprise attack.
—And even if he were uneasy, what could he do? On the battlefield, life and death change in an instant. There aren’t that many choices. In the end, it all cos down to risking everything.
This arrangent was already the optimal solution.
"Wait a minute," Lu Xi’an called out.
The two of them simultaneously stopped.
Lu Xi’an climbed into the RV, took Gou and the drone, placed them on Luo Ping’s car, and also took a power bank from the car, saying, "I’m leaving Gou and the drone with you. You can power the Resonant Gene Scanner with the car and also have a power bank as a backup.
"I’ll take one power bank for my Resonant Gene Scanner.
"As for Gou, I’ve already given it instructions. On the road, it will observe the situation. If it detects insects, it will launch the drone to eliminate them."
Lu Xi’an didn’t need to explain any further. Luo Ping understood imdiately. His eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, saying, "Right, I didn’t even think of that!
"The Type C Neo-Humans of the enemy use insects to unleash their long-range abilities. As long as we kill the insects, we sever their power release.
"If this happens during the battle, and their support gets cut off, their strength will plumt, leaving them open to a surprise attack from us!
"It’s just that Gou and the drone might be in danger, big brother..."
Lu Xi’an glanced at Yao Wei, noticing her gaze fixed on Luo Ping’s car, and then held her hand, saying, "When faced with life and death, we have no other choices. It’s irresponsible to preserve finances and hold back—it’s sothing we can’t help."
Luo Ping said no more and proceeded with the next arrangents.
Tang Er and Yao had already gone to Healing Village, gathering the villagers.
The village was montarily chaotic, but Lu Xi’an, Luo Ping, and others pretended not to hear it, continuing their deploynts and starting the operation.
They didn’t pay much attention to the cars parked there. This battle was a matter of survival. If defeated, the cars here would naturally beco the enemy’s spoils, making everything else insignificant.
They picked up the Resonant Gene Scanner and power bank and moved to the edge of the Guanhai River. This place was a distance from Healing Village, so the battle wouldn’t reach the vehicles parked by the village.
Of course, Yao Wei also took her sniper rifle and hid in a high place by the river.
If there was a chance during the battle, she could imdiately pick up her gun and launch a sniper attack on the enemy’s Type C Neo-Humans.
"Four Type A Neo-Humans, two Type B Neo-Humans, four Type C, and one D-type. Right?"
Upon reaching the Guanhai River, Luo Ping reconfird the enemy’s strength distribution.
Lu Shou nodded, saying, "Yes."
At this mont, he felt his whole body trembling, with a hint of fear and excitent.
He had never felt this way before, not even when in Biyun County. He didn’t know how many battles, large and small, he had been through there, nor how many people he’d killed.
Yet he had always felt a sense of calm in each battle. Sotis, there was a sense of frenzy, but it was never this kind of excitent—a prepared anticipation to risk everything and trade lives with others.
He looked at the crowd, so standing and so sitting, and felt that most of them were just like him, except for Luo Ping, Lu Xi’an, and Yao Wei, who seed to remain extrely calm.
No wonder these three could beco the leaders of this group. He really couldn’t compare to them.
Lu Shou thought to himself, feeling utmost admiration for these three.
"Chai Xin, Liu Hua, Bottle, you form a group, move back, Chou Nu, you move back too, to that side, keep a bit of distance from Chai Xin and the others. If soone approaches, Chou Nu, you respond imdiately.
"And also my side, I rely on you too, you assess the situation yourself.
"Bottle, you be a good shield, anyway, fight to block attacks for others even if it costs your life. Liu Hua, you only brought ants this ti, but ants will definitely be useful. Divide the ants into two groups, hide them well, decide when to act and against whom, it’s up to you.
"Tang, we’ll go to the other side, see if anyone cos to find us. I’ll shield you well then, and what you can do depends on you."
Luo Ping arranged.
Tang’s voice was a bit shaky, but within that tremor, there seed to be more excitent: "Ha! I never thought, coming with you this ti, I would be cannon fodder. You better shield well."
During this ti, Tang had also been taught the training thods from the book and had been following them.
He never thought such miraculous training thods existed that could enhance his abilities to such an extent.
After more than a month of training, Tang felt very confident now, although he was slightly worried about the enemy’s strength, he still wanted to give it a try, to see to what extent his power could be exerted against formidable foes.
Luo Ping grinned: "Don’t worry, what else are we B-type Neo-Humans for if not shields?"
Bottle, who had walked up to Chai Xin and Liu Hua, twitched the corner of his mouth but said nothing.
Lu Shou then asked: "What about ?"
Luo Ping didn’t assign him.
He felt his strength had really improved from the training during this ti, and he was confident he could also be a good shield now.
Luo Ping said: "You can choose yourself, follow , follow Chai Xin and them, or go alone to draw fire, any option is fine. We B-type Neo-Humans are abundant, which actually isn’t a good thing.
"The enemy has too many Type C Neo-Humans."
Lu Shou gritted his teeth and said: "Alright."
He stood alone to one side.
Luo Ping then said to Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei: "Big brother and sister, the rest is up to you."
He didn’t need to tell Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei what they specifically needed to do, but Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei already understood.
For Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei, the strongest among this group, overly detailed arrangents were unnecessary.
In this brief mont, the two stared at the Resonant Gene Scanner connected to a charger on the ground. On the scanner’s map, the cluster of eleven red dots had already moved a considerable distance east.
They had changed paths and began moving along the Guanhai River, soon reaching Broken Bridge at Sickness Village.
"The formation should be about to change."
Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei recalled the battle on that day and judged.
At this mont, the two were still standing with Luo Ping and Tang. Luo Ping and Tang imdiately looked down at the Resonant Gene Scanner, but neither spoke.
The car had to travel a certain distance, but for Type A Neo-Humans, this distance wasn’t far at all.
The combat was really about to ignite.
Everyone instantly beca alert, fully prepared.
Just as Lu Xi’an expected, the Resonant Gene Scanner showed that after passing Broken Bridge, the formation began to change not long after.
Three red dots quickly moved forward, distancing from the others behind, and among those three, two soon separated, moving at incredible speeds, turning into afterimages on the Resonant Gene Scanner.
This turned the enemy’s formation into three segnts—
Two moved at super-high speed at the front, one moved quickly in the middle, seven maintained their original speed, still on the vehicle.
"It seems the enemy thought things through, leaving one Type A to guard the others. Tang Er and Yao’s side doesn’t seem easy either..."
Luo Ping furrowed his brows and said, "Then those two at the head, I wonder if they’re Boss Liang and Xu?"
The enemy had four Type A Neo-Humans, clearly, the three at the head were all Type A, and one remaining Type A mingled with the others.
Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei moved their gaze from the Resonant Gene Scanner and said: "It should be them, we haven’t seen anyone else with such speed."
After saying this, they suddenly erupted and moved westward.
Far away, two afterimages rapidly approached, a man and a woman, it seed unmistakable.
