Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 122: Chapter 113: Did You See Clearly?

”Regarding pan-energy research, I don’t insist on immediate results, but I hope other functionalities can be completed soon.”

”I’ll start working on it right away.”

”What I want is comprehensive monitoring inside and outside the train, such as damage status, airtightness, temperature and pressure, acid rain corrosion levels, water and fuel levels, number of passengers. I want all this data to be reflected on the information terminal in real-time.”

Professor Ma felt some pressure, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

Su Huan rubbed his chin, ”Now you can present your needs, whether it’s permissions or materials.”

Professor Ma adjusted his somewhat unsuitable glasses. Ever since evolving, he felt his eyesight had improved a bit but was still blurry, so he had no choice but to wear them.

”Firstly, I need a car to conduct research.”

”No problem, cars 11 and 12 are yours and your students, right next to Yu Jing’s car 10. If you need any cooperation, it’s convenient, and we can notify the personnel of the other crew to move back today.”

Seeing Su Huan being so generous, Professor Ma felt less pressured, fearing some leaders who demand results without providing support.

”Then I need some Pan-energy Crystals for research.”

”Not a large quantity, but no problem.”

”Tier One Pan-energy Crystal?”

”Possible, but only one can be provided.”

”A large amount of electronic equipment, drones from the logistics center, exoskeletons, robots...”

Su Huan thought for a moment and said, ”For drones, you can ask Xiaolin from the crew, he is the drone operator. The drones brought back by the logistics center are under his control, and if you need practical operations, you can have him cooperate.”

The drone operator and the doctor have the same surname, so they were distinguished by their age on the train car.

The drone operator being younger was called Xiaolin.

Professor Ma’s eyes showed some surprise, ”There’s professional talent, great.”

”Then for exoskeletons and personnel transfer, just look for Yu Jing. She can solve most problems in the car.”

Professor Ma nodded unexpectedly, not realizing how high her status was in the car.

As Su Huan turned to leave, he suddenly stopped and advised, ”Don’t go to the rear cars unless necessary. If you must go, call Lao San and the others. Come to the dining car for dinner tonight.”

”Okay, sure.”

...

While walking back, he was planning the second phase of the armed train project.

Despite saying so much last time, the core essentially consists of three major components.

Upgrade armor, information terminal, expand airtight capacity.

Other things, like the oxygen generator, bullet production line, 3D printers... are just supplementary.

As for the exoskeleton, it is already a mature thing, only needing modifications for acid rain and special situations.

In the early stage, we can load more munitions for the Firepower Hand and increase the marching speed.

Later, it’s all about evolution.

Right now, the most important thing is to enhance the evolution level of core members like Xiaoba and Yu Yue, who should reach Tier One as soon as possible.

Outside the train car, He Jie’s angry shouting interrupted Su Huan’s thoughts.

The shirtless burly man leading was naturally He Jie, with a chest full of dripping hair. Behind him, the unlucky foursome Lao San and Zhang Kai were wearing raincoats, carrying sandbags and sprinting.

During this period, the four of them had been handed over to He Jie by Su Huan.

From then on, they entered a life of water and fire.

”Stop!”

When the four stopped, the physically weak Boss couldn’t take it anymore and was crushed on the ground by the sandbag.

”Only ten kilometers with a load and you can’t handle it? On the battlefield, will you rely on your brothers to carry you?”

”What?!”

He Jie single-handedly lifted Boss and the 300-pound sandbag, screaming, sending the acid rain flying off.

Boss struggled to stand up.

Beside him, Zhang Kai slipped his hand, letting the sandbag drop to the ground.

He Jie went up and gave him a flying kick, directly kicking him into a puddle.

Zhang Kai, with skin burnt by acid rain, screamed as he jumped out of the puddle, only to be stomped back into the puddle by a big foot before he could react.

”You’re a defender, why are you screaming like a banshee?”

”It’s understandable for the Maker to be physically weak, but you’re a defender, are you mocking me?!”

”Everyone, prepare for push-ups!”

The four shivered instantly, disregarding the tingling acid rain, and lay down into the puddles directly.

”From my call, when I shout ’two,’ you come up. Whoever dares to come up early, today, you’ll stay in the water all day!”

”One!”

Five or six seconds passed.

”Two!”

”One!”

He Jie frowned, walked to Lao San’s side, and stomped on his protruding butt with a grin.

”Bang!”

Splashed a puddle of water.

”I told you all to go down, why is your butt sticking out like a hook?!”

”Get down properly! Keep the posture accurate.”

Seeing everyone lying flat, He Jie wiped the acid water off his face and boarded the train car.

Soon ran into Su Huan, casually explained, ”Don’t worry, there will be burning, but it won’t kill. With their physical condition, they’ll be fine tomorrow, just going through a bit of misery.”

Su Huan looked at the four outside the car window, ”What’s your opinion on their potential?”

He Jie scratched his head, ”I can’t say for sure about evolution, but the three brothers are good soldiers. Zhang Kai is hopeless, a softie. I prefer Lao San, he is enduring!”

Both laughed simultaneously.

In terms of grinding others, few on the train shared his interests.

”By the way, how long do you think the Steel Council will take to capture Changli County?”

Upon hearing this, He Jie became serious, ”At least ten days, at most twenty days.”

Su Huan headed toward the front cars, ”That’s about what I expected.”

He Jie followed up, ”How did you estimate?”

”Half a month.”

After experiencing the chaotic battle at the logistics center together, He Jie was dragged on board the ship by him, and Su Huan had no secrets from him.

”By the way, did you give Xiaoba lessons today?”

”About to, actually. I don’t understand why you want me to teach Xiaoba about military theory and trench structures, such obscure topics.”

”It’s related to his abilities.”

”...”

The two chatted as they walked towards the front cars.

Suffering in the water, Lao San and the others.

’Two, where’s two?’

’I’m asking you, where’s two?!’

...

The two arrived at car 4.

Pushing the door, they were greeted by the smell of disinfectant, as the room contained four people.

Xiaoba’s wheelchair was to the side, controlling a small knife while peeling a somewhat wrinkly apple.

No need to mention, it must have been brought by the logistics center.

The burly man, resembling a mountain, lay in bed, wrapped like a mummy, with a metal hook on the wall hanging a sword and shield.

At this moment, Liang Kuan helplessly extended a hand.

Beside him, Yu Yue pointed to the needle just inserted, asking Lin Xia next to her, ”Did you see clearly?”

The latter held a notebook nervously nodded, ”I saw it clearly.”

Then Yu Yue withdrew the needle that was already inserted, handed it over to him, and said seriously, ”Okay, now you try again.”
