Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 144: Chapter 131: Sun

Xiaozhao connected an old model player to the train’s indoor and outdoor speakers, then hesitantly looked at the enthusiastic conductor.

”Do we really have to play music?”

Su Huan gave him an affirmative glance.

”Click”

Switched on the switch.

”Fold a thousand paper cranes, then tie a red ribbon, wish kind people good luck every day~”

A high-pitched voice emitted from the speakers.

”Click”

Xiaozhao urgently pressed pause, looking awkwardly at Su Huan.

The equipment was too old, it didn’t even display the song title.

Su Huan raised an eyebrow, his eyes bright, ”Not bad, but it feels like something’s missing.”

Xiaozhao quickly pressed a few buttons on the equipment, trying to skip these somewhat inappropriate songs.

”Click click click——”

Various sounds just began to emerge before being cut off, sounding like a jammed tape recorder.

Seeing a bit of impatience on the conductor’s face, Xiaozhao gritted his teeth and resignedly stopped at a particular piece of music.

”Who~ is my groom...”

With this sentence, Xiaozhao shuddered in fright, just as he was about to switch, he saw Su Huan clap once.

Pointing at Xiaozhao and praised to the others nearby, ”That’s talent!”

”I was really impressed with this kid last time at the logistics center!”

Yu Yue’s eyebrows furrowed, she knew Su Huan had a unique aesthetic, but didn’t expect it to be so...

”This is the one, don’t change it!”

The steel blinds isolated the acid rain and chaotic battlefield, and occasionally bullets hit the train’s armor with a clanging sound.

Accompanying the train’s departure, like a movie frame by frame, being left behind.

Voices, roars, wails, and curses mingled together.

And the movie’s soundtrack became increasingly high-pitched, overshadowing all the discordance.

Soldiers of the Steel Council, the Servant Army, passengers on and off the train, two collectors, Li Tao in the helicopter, Lu Xiao struggling under Lin Xia’s butcher knife, and even the evolution beasts and zombies within a three-kilometer radius on either side of the tracks were stunned by this enormous sound source.

Bewildered, they watched the armored train slowly but resolutely head toward Changli County.

”Don’t make me look around anymore, stop making me guess every day!”

”Who is my groom?!”

”I am your groom!”

The high and firm voice tore through this gloomy oppressive world, adding a sense of humor to the brutal slaughter.

The passengers and zombies chasing the train were more like embellishments in this movie.

”Aren’t we being a bit too conspicuous?”

He Jie, sitting on the escalator, suddenly asked.

Taunting on the battlefield is the most meaningless thing, although Su Huan has many mischievous quirks, he wouldn’t do something meaningless.

But he didn’t understand, what’s the benefit of making the train so ostentatious.

This couldn’t deal an effective blow to the Steel Council and might even attract more unnecessary trouble.

Su Huan fiddled with the strands of hair on his forehead, his eyes filled with coldness, ”We have to be a bit conspicuous, or how else would we attract attention.”

”In five minutes, it’s time for our counterattack.”

He Jie, sitting on the stairs, showed an expression of excitement.

...

Five minutes later, as the train passed by a small platform, three small vehicles rushed down from the carriage, blending into the buildings under the cover of rain and the platform.

And the train continued playing music, slowly moving forward.

He Jie drove the off-road vehicle like a raging kangaroo, but Su Huan in the passenger seat seemed to be rooted in his seat.

Lazily lying there, without a seatbelt, but no matter how much the vehicle bumped, there was not a trace of shaking.

Su Huan opened the car window, letting the strands of acid rain blow in, with a metallic smell hitting his hair.

With his right hand, he played with a Tier One Pan-energy Crystal, as his fingers rotated, each circle consumed a bit of the crystal.

In the back sat Yu Yue and Xiaozhao, while the other two cars carried Lao San’s group and Jiang Rong’s team.

The rest were left in the train.

Su Huan’s aim was to find Lin Jin, and to obtain some information about the truth of the apocalypse from the Steel Council.

It was never about causing trouble for the Steel Council.

However, from the Steel Council’s perspective, it seemed similar.

These subtle differences created an information gap.

Li Tao thought Su Huan’s goal was to destroy the company’s new city plan, but that was at most a side effect.

Now that Li Tao, a core member, was out there, grabbing him directly would end everything, right?

”We can’t go further, there’s a soldier on the second floor of the fast-food restaurant ahead, and there’s a butcher who just died at the next street corner, there should be their people nearby.”

Xiaozhao operated a drone and said.

He Jie sharply turned the steering wheel, pulled the handbrake, and the off-road vehicle slid sideways into the gap between two cars by the roadside, as if it was meant to be parked there.

The two cars behind mimicked, disguising as scrapped vehicles by the roadside.

He Jie looked at Su Huan, ”What’s the combat objective?”

Su Huan looked at the helicopter suspended in mid-air in the distance, wearing a gentle smile, ”Of course, to take them all out, should your future son-in-law be the first or the last one?”

”Click!”

He Jie did not answer, he pulled out a military-style iron lightweight machine gun from behind, cocked it, and his eyes burned with fiery flames.

Excellent, the morale is high!

...

The Mountain Goat felt like his leg calf muscle was going to cramp, he hurriedly turned and rushed into the nearest building.

The words ”Jinghua SPA Club” were printed in large white letters on the building.

The Mountain Goat ran straight up to the second floor following the stairs; all the glass partitions were shattered, leaving only dim rooms, with a few long-decayed corpses, indistinguishable between zombies or humans, on the ground.

His gaze swept around the disordered interior, not pausing at the counter but dived into the dark small rooms instead.

The silenced handgun fired rapidly a few times.

Only after seeing the remaining survivors, both men and women, inside were dead, did he rest assuredly lean at the door, doing his best to straighten his calves.

Suppressing the calf muscle that was about to cramp.

But this only alleviated the physical discomfort; in such a silent space, the mental pressure doubled instead.

He Jie, that old dog surviving is one thing, but betraying the city caused all their tactics to be unusable, even the slightest move would be instantly discovered by the opponent, who would promptly find a counter-strategy.

Originally, he and his team were together, but were forcibly separated by the brutal attack led by the old dog He Jie and a group of people.

If it wasn’t for his evolution ability leaning toward route finding and quick escape, he would have ended up like his two teammates, riddled like sieves on the spot.

Also, that damn anti-materiel electromagnetic sniper rifle, its range is long, there’s no sound, and it’s absurdly accurate, like it’s hacked.

Obviously, they’ve already suppressed the sounds they could make to the extreme.

How could they still be discovered by that sound-type manipulator?

Once engulfed in darkness, when people can’t sense the outside, they start exploring within, leading to overthinking.

The training he received made it clear to him why he was experiencing this.

However, massive exertion of physical strength and energy drained some control over his thoughts.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside.

The footsteps intentionally softened, but in such a quiet environment, that minuscule sound couldn’t escape an Evolver’s ears.

The Mountain Goat held his breath, activating visual analysis.

Suddenly, a bright light mass appeared in front of the window, the only one in the room.

Like a small sun illuminating his world.
