Weyl metal is regarded as a platform toward interacting topological states of matter, where its topological structure gives rise to anomalous transport phenomena, referred to as chiral magnetic effect and "negative" magneto-resistivity, the origin of which is chiral anomaly. Recently, the negative magneto-resistivity has been observed with the signature of weak anti-localization at $x = 3 \sim 4 ~ \%$ in Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x}$, where magnetic field is applied in parallel with electric field. Based on the Boltzmann-equation approach, we find the negative magneto-resistivity in the presence of weak anti-localization. An essential ingredient is to introduce the topological structure of chiral anomaly into the Boltzmann-equation approach, resorting to semi-classical equations of motion with Berry curvature.
