Ba Shi and Yao Guang exchanged a glance, said nothing, and left with their men.

A group of people returned through the small side door of the building one by one, without a hint of hesitation.

They obviously all realized that Lu Xi'an was a Neo-Human.

Unexpectedly, the title of Neo-Human was so useful in Yao County; he had just appeared, and it scared people away.

Lu Xi'an figured that people here had either seen Neo-Humans before or heard about their capabilities.

Unlike Fengcheng County in Yubei City, where people dared to steal Neo-Humans' cars and kill Neo-Humans. In the end, they were remembered by the Neo-Humans and completely wiped out.

The gap between Neo-Humans and ordinary people is truly too large.

"You, come here."

Lu Xi'an pointed at Yao Zhuang and said.

Outside the side door of the building, only Yao Zhuang was left. His bleeding from the lower body was severe, with his bare body looking like he was wearing tight blood-colored pants adorned with a flower in front.

Yao Zhuang's face was gloomy, but he did not dare to disobey the Neo-Human. Hearing Lu Xi'an say "come here," he obediently walked over.

However, his wound was so painful that it affected his movement; walking with legs wide apart, unable to take big strides, his actions were stiff, and he couldn't walk fast. Each step was painful, making him grimace in agony.

Lu Xi'an's eyelid twitched; seeing Yao Zhuang like this was painful just to watch. The three remaining men on the car roof were also stiff, with cold sweat on their foreheads. Watching him, they almost felt phantom pain.

"Let's walk a bit forward."

Lu Xi'an said to Yao Wei, who then drove forward to meet Yao Zhuang.

Yao Zhuang reached the roadside as the car happened to stop in front of him.

Lu Xi'an got out of the car, grabbed Yao Zhuang, and hoisted him onto the car roof.

He planned to bring this man into the car to inquire properly about Chai Xin's situation.

After confirming the situations of Chai Xin and Shu, he wouldn't need to stay longer in Yao County. He could just refuel at the city gas station and continue on his way.

"Sit."

After bringing Yao Zhuang onto the roof, Lu Xi'an had him sit down. This way, when the car started, he would be more stable and wouldn't fall off.

However, Yao Zhuang tried several times to bend down and sit but couldn't manage. The movement pulled at his wound, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead, twisting his face in intense pain.

Lu Xi'an had to wave his hand, saying, "Forget it, just stand."

"Than... sss... thank you..."

Yao Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Lu Xi'an ordered the few people on the roof, "Support him."

Ba Niang quickly said, "You guys support him. I won't touch him. I can't let the master misunderstand."

Lu Xi'an: "..."

Yao Zhuang's face was no longer twisted, just a bit green.

However, Lu Xi'an didn't bother with them, letting them do whatever they wanted, as he only intended to ask a few questions.

But just as he prepared to speak, a sudden "whoosh" sound was heard.

Lu Xi'an's heart skipped a beat. Turning to look, he saw an arrow flying straight toward his face from the top of the building's side door.

Good heavens, he thought the city people didn't dare to make a move on him. It turned out they were too scared to face him head-on and only dared to launch a stealth attack!

He raised his hand and caught the arrow, thinking that thankfully he was a Type A Neo-Human. If it had been another type of Neo-Human, they might have been caught by surprise in the sneak attack.

He glanced over and noticed a small window on the little door, which one could get through. Above the door was originally a concrete eaves; the small window piercing through allowed access to it.

Now the eaves were long gone, leaving only traces of its foundation, half sunken in and half protruded.

The person at the small window was Yao Guang.

It seemed Yao Guang's subordinates had their hands pierced by Lu Xi'an before, leaving them unable to act. So now, as the leader, Yao Guang had to personally make the stealth attack.

Yao Guang held a crossbow in his hand; having no gun, this bow and arrow were his treasures.

However, now his treasure was useless. Seeing Lu Xi'an catch the arrow and glance his way, Yao Guang was horrified and turned to flee.

Lu Xi'an lifted the arrow he had just caught, thinking to throw it back, but then thought he could save it for Yao Wei, so he let it go, grabbed a spoke, and threw it towards that small window on the door top.

In a matter of seconds, the person at the small window hadn't managed to escape Lu Xi'an's sight. The spoke flew through, directly piercing Yao Guang's forehead.

The gap between Neo-Humans and ordinary people was evident in just a few exchanges.

"Thud."

Yao Guang fell to the ground, dead beyond doubt.

On the car roof, Ba Niang, seeing this, flattered, "The master is truly formidable!"

Everyone else reacted and responded one after another: "Master, you're awesome!" Even Yao Zhuang, despite his pain, grimaced and echoed the shout.

Lu Xi'an doubted for a moment if they were all possessed by Yao Wei, why were they all chanting "awesome" in unison?

If they couldn't manage a "forever dominion over the martial world," at least an "awesome" would do. This world has truly fallen into a cultural wasteland; people's vocabulary is so impoverished.

"Alright, enough talking. Ba Niang, guide the way, we're heading to the gas station later."

Ba Niang obediently began giving directions. She knew these directions were for the "Master" driving below, so she didn't use her hands, relied solely on her mouth, and spoke a bit louder.

Lu Xi'an waited a bit, waited for Ba Niang to finish explaining the route, and then planned to talk to Yao Zhuang.

During this time, he stared at the building for a while, confirming the people inside were already scared and no one dared to come out, so he didn't bother with them.

Then, while Ba Niang was giving directions, he pointed to the person with intact legs and said, "You get out and pick up all the long needles from over there and bring them back to me."

He didn't say "spokes," as that word might not be understood by that person.

A lot of spokes had been shot out just now, and there weren't many left in his hand. These things were quite useful, and Lu Xi'an didn't intend to treat them as disposable items.

The person quickly responded, climbed out of the car, and trotted over to pick up the spokes. He looked smug and gave the two men with broken legs a provocative look, as if to say: Look, I'm still useful to the Master, unlike you!

But when he trotted outside the small door and saw the spokes on the ground, he bent down to pick them up, only to find that some could be picked up, while others were deeply embedded in the ground and couldn't be pulled out with his strength.

This was because Lu Xi'an had specifically held back some strength earlier. If he hadn't held back, those spokes might be hard to find, or deeply embedded in the ground, leaving only small holes on the surface.

Lu Xi'an had to get out of the car himself, go over, grab the spokes, and pull them out.

The person helping him pick up the spokes quickly offered up the spokes he had already gathered with both hands.

Lu Xi'an reached out to take them, glanced at the small building, and said: "Inside, pick up the needle I just threw, and I'll spare your lives."

From inside the building came a rustling sound, and soon a spoke was thrown out. Lu Xi'an reached out and caught it, then called the person helping him pick up the spokes to join him on the rooftop.

Meanwhile, Ba Niang kept looking outside the car while giving directions.

This woman wasn't just looking at the small building, she occasionally glanced in the other direction.

Over there at a distance are some bungalows, and the bungalows house another boss from the county town.

No one from there came out, seeing the Neo-Humans' mighty display made her a bit worried.

Ba Niang had already figured out that after Lu Xi'an visited the gas station, he would definitely leave. When she gets left behind, how can she ensure people know she has the backing of Neo-Humans, making others not dare mess with her and even submit to her?

This problem needs some careful thought.

Seeing Lu Xi'an talking to the people inside the building made her nervous, fearing that someone inside—especially that Ba Shi—might strike a chord with the Master and come onboard.

If so, the Master's reputation would be shared, making it tough for her to maintain her position as the top boss in Yao County.

But she felt relieved when she saw that the people inside were too scared to come out and speak with the Master.

With relief, she couldn't help but feel disdain for the boss inside, Ba Shi.

Just look at Ba Shi, got scared over such a trivial matter, wasted a golden opportunity! What a worthless piece of crap! With a capability like that, how did he even become the boss?

While feeling disdain, she saw Lu Xi'an and the person she had previously captured get on the rooftop, and hurriedly showed Lu Xi'an a flattering smile, while not hesitating to smile at that person as well.

Though, her smile towards that person was different, carrying a hint of seduction.

Now she felt that compared to Ba Shi, this person is the biggest threat.

And to her satisfaction, her flirtatious smile, learned from serving others in the past, seemed to work, as that person was stunned for a moment then responded with a lecherous smile, clearly enchanted.

This is good, no problem here.

Ba Niang obediently sat to the side, starting an exchange of glances with the man.

"Let's drive."

Lu Xi'an, now on the rooftop, spoke to Yao Wei.

Yao Wei then started the car and began driving forward.

There were quite a few people on the rooftop, so naturally, she couldn't drive too fast.

Besides, there were other people in the city, and she wasn't sure if anyone had laid traps on the road. If the car got damaged, it would be bad.

Driving slowly would also give her a clearer view of the road conditions.

The car moved slowly forward, the ruins of the city unfolding in Lu Xi'an's and Yao Wei's eyes.

Lu Xi'an didn't pay attention to the remnants of civilization, only slightly vigilant of his surroundings to prevent any lurking danger, while asking Yao Zhuang: "I heard you collaborated with the Vengeful Soul?"

Yao Zhuang immediately glared fiercely at Ba Niang, knowing she had told this Neo-Human about his affairs.

This woman, such a complete traitor! And to think he had been treating her so well!

However, he didn't expect after just one glance at Ba Niang, she would react as if provoked, angrily screeching: "What are you looking at me for?! Didn't you hear the Master asked you a question? If you don't answer, the Master'll break your legs too!"

Lu Xi'an: "..."
