Apocalypse: Last Traveler-Chapter 369 - 348: No Words This Night

On the way back to Caiyang Mountain, the wind and waves were calm, so the ship’s speed was also slow. By the time they reached the eastern coast of Caiyang Mountain, it was already evening.

Lu Xi’an told Hu Xiaodong and his father to wait for a moment, then carried four buckets on a carrying pole up the mountain.

Yao Wei, just as she did on East Island, carried two military supply boxes with both hands, following behind Lu Xi’an.

Hu Xiaodong and his father watched Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei go up the mountain, their pace as steady and fast as on East Island.

"Truly terrifying!"

Hu Xiaodong couldn’t help but exclaim, even using different words to describe it this time.

After hearing this, Hu Dong nodded, agreeing with his father’s assessment.

He recalled the big hole in their yard, still shaken. When Mr. Lu punched it, the whole wall trembled—it was terrifying.

It was unclear if anyone was on the second floor at the time, but if there was, they surely would’ve felt something, right?

With that big hole from the punch, anyone who came and saw it would probably never dare to mess with their family again, right?

What a joke! On East Island, who could withstand a punch like that?!

Yet despite the terror, the thought of having such a scene in their home meant that in the future, few on the island would dare to trouble their family?

If they showed it to the committee, perhaps they wouldn’t even need to bring water when going out to sea next time.

Hu Dong’s mind wandered wildly. He glanced at his father, Hu Xiaodong, who also seemed deep in thought. But he didn’t share his thoughts with his father.

Everything was tacitly understood.

...

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei soon reached the mountaintop. They checked everything, and it was quiet and problem-free.

In the two days they were gone, no one had visited, and everything, including the RV, remained as it was.

—Of course, this was just their over-cautiousness. With the sea blocking the mountain, how could anyone come up? The mountaintop was actually very safe, without any issues.

After checking, they opened the RV door and let Gou in.

The entire vehicle was instantly powered up, filling them with a sense of relief.

Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei placed the two military supply boxes in the vehicle, along with the wicker box, next to the military boxes. Then they unloaded the supplies from the buckets.

After taking out all the supplies and emptying the buckets, Lu Xi’an hung them back on the carrying pole and headed down the mountain.

"Wait here, I’ll go deliver it and be right back."

On his way down the mountain, Lu Xi’an said to Yao Wei.

"Okay."

Yao Wei replied, tidying up the things they had just taken out of the buckets inside the RV.

Lu Xi’an first went to the water source and filled the buckets for Hu Xiaodong and his father.

As he was about to go down the mountain, he saw seabirds circling in the sky. Lu Xi’an snapped a branch from a nearby tree and swiftly threw it, knocking a seabird down.

Carrying the seabird, he quickly reached the East Coast, put down the buckets for Hu Xiaodong and Hu Dong, and also gave the seabird to them, saying:

"This seabird is for you. Cook it over a fire to eat. I won’t bother you further.

"During the chaotic day at the market, we forgot something—when we left, we forgot to ask Hao for the extra portion of pork soup for you.

"Hu Dong, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Fortunately, I came across this seabird on my way here, so you can fill your stomach with it and the dry food."

Surprised by the gift, Hu Xiaodong and Hu Dong quickly thanked Lu Xi’an.

Hu Xiaodong explained, "Rest assured, Mr. Lu, how could I forget the pork soup? I remembered, but I didn’t mention it at the time because I knew you were in a hurry."

"Later, when you and Mr. Yao went to the ship to pack things, I ran home to get the buckets and told my wife to go find Hao for the pork soup."

Lu Xi’an said, "Then Hu Dong won’t get any? Make sure to give him some when you return."

Hu Xiaodong and Hu Dong planned to rest here for the night; they had already prepared the woodpile, but when Lu Xi’an arrived, they hadn’t yet started the campfire.

Meanwhile, Hu Dong took out a fire striker, blew on it, and used it to light the woodpile.

Upon hearing Lu Xi’an’s words, Hu Dong couldn’t help but smile, feeling warm as he said, "It’s okay, I don’t need it. As long as Hu Xiaodong can eat, that’s enough."

He referred to his son Hu Xiaodong, and his genuine smile showed his sincerity.

However, Lu Xi’an took out a Small Coin, handed it directly to Hu Dong, and said, "Here, buy yourself a bowl when you go back. You should eat if I tell you to.

"If worse comes to worst, buy it and share it with your son when you go back. You can’t show favoritism; if your family’s eaten, you should too."

Hu Dong was stunned for a moment and instinctively looked at his father, Hu Xiaodong. Turning his head, he realized both he and his father were momentarily surprised.

But then Hu Xiaodong said, "The gentleman has spoken, so take it. Don’t be shy.

"Remember Mr. Lu’s kindness in the future. Whatever Mr. Lu asks us to do, we should do it immediately."

Only then did Hu Dong obediently take the Small Coin and carefully put it away.

By this time, the campfire was lit, and the father and son busied themselves plucking the seabird’s feathers, preparing to roast it on a skewer.

Lu Xi’an said, "Perfect timing, there’s actually something you can help with in the future."

Hu Xiaodong said, "Mr. Lu, please go ahead."

Lu Xi’an pointed to what Hu Dong was holding and said, "This, the fire starter, we forgot to buy it at the market today. In the future, help us buy some when you go.

"And food, each time you come over, just regularly purchase and deliver it. I’ll take as much as you bring."

Hu Xiaodong nodded, "No problem, Mr. Lu. Rest assured, we’ll definitely manage that."

He received five cartons of cigarettes from Lu Xi’an and was very sure that Lu Xi’an had gained a lot from his trip to the boat, so there was no need to doubt if Lu Xi’an could afford to pay him.

—Besides, Lu Xi’an had never previously skimped on payments to him, much more trustworthy and generous than the committee members.

And he’s so capable, just a flick of his finger could crush those committee people.

So, no matter how much supply Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei got from the boat, Hu Xiaodong wasn’t envious; instead, he felt they deserved their earnings.

He was just grateful that he and his son had come to Caiyang Mountain and met Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao, securing their support early on. It was satisfying to drink the soup under the shelter of a strong backer who eats the meat.

"That’s settled then. I’ll leave now, won’t come to see you off tomorrow."

After saying this to Hu Xiaodong and Hu Dong, Lu Xi’an turned and left.

He quickly returned to the mountain’s peak, seeing the car lights illuminating even though he’d only been gone for a short while. Returning now, he inexplicably felt like he was coming home from a long journey, seeing his wife quietly waiting.

"You’re back?"

Far away, Yao Wei heard Lu Xi’an’s voice. As he walked to the back door of the RV, her voice resonated from inside.

At that moment, she had just finished tidying up inside the RV. Though many things were inside, everything was neat and not the least bit cluttered.

She glanced back and smiled, so enchanting.

"Mm."

Lu Xi’an replied, not saying much more, went straight inside the RV, casually closed the door, and embraced the woman.

The woman’s body was slightly stiff; although they had been intimate many times before and were well-coordinated and accustomed, it was as if they were strangers again.

This made Lu Xi’an worry that Yao Wei would refuse, fearing being beyond his control, so while caressing Yao Wei’s lips, he softly asked, "Are you ready?"

"Mm."

Yao Wei tilted her head slightly back, her voice gentle. Her breath, warm against Lu Xi’an’s face, "It’s right there."

She glanced at the bedside with her eyes as she spoke.

Then Lu Xi’an saw what Yao Wei had placed on the bedside, some scattered items.

It seemed Yao Wei intended to use these loose items before opening a whole box.

"..."

Lu Xi’an fell silent for a while.

He had worried about being too aggressive, but it seemed he was cautious compared to Yao Wei.

In that case, what more needed to be said?

Now, more words, no matter how passionate or gentle, could not compare to wholehearted engagement.

Beginning passionately, advancing gradually, allowing body and emotions to achieve the best state in their coordination bit by bit.

Then using the items previously prepared.

"Mm..."

Yao Wei hummed softly, the sound seemingly coming from her nasal cavity, her brow slightly furrowed.

This extraordinarily strong woman unexpectedly revealed a slightly vulnerable side.

The RV shook, and the items Yao Wei had placed neatly scattered, rolling messily, needing to be tidied again tomorrow.

Yao Wei gently bit her lips, emitting very few sounds. She didn’t seem to like making noise, just breathed rapidly, matching the rhythm of the RV’s shaking.

The shaking continued into the night.

Lu Xi’an suddenly felt glad that his partner was Yao Wei, who, like him, was a Type A Neo-Human; otherwise, such matters would be disastrous for them.

By the next morning, though, they both felt refreshed, got up, tidied up, went out for exercise, and didn’t miss a single thing.

Their relationship had blended thoroughly, a closeness between them distinguished from before.

While watching Lu Xi’an handle things from the night before, Yao Wei couldn’t help but ask, slightly worried, "We won’t have a child, will we?"

Lu Xi’an said, "Don’t worry, I checked, we’re fine."

Yao Wei was slightly torn, saying, "Actually... having a child wouldn’t be so bad..."

Lu Xi’an immediately looked at Yao Wei, "Shall we try tonight?"

"..."

Yao Wei paused slightly, "Never mind..."
