Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 145: Chapter 132: Dangerous Individual

If we assume that the generic energy possessed by ordinary people is in single digits, then for newly awakened Evolvers, it is probably between tens and hundreds.

A Tier One Evolver is quite abundant, possibly reaching thousands.

Mountain Goat couldn’t tell, anyway, it’s densely spread all over the body, and some are concentrated in certain parts of the body.

The spot where the generic energy is concentrated is the location where the opponent has evolved.

Like the defender in the team who evolved the eyesight skill, in his ”visual analysis,” those eyes are as bright as two light bulbs.

And looking at the guy in front of him, he felt like he was staring directly at the sun.

Especially in the heart area, he even suspected the other party stuffed a Pan-energy Bomb there.

”Don’t just daze there.”

Su Huan said lightly, hanging upside down from the wall outside.

The next moment, glass shatters, and the room is flooded with lightning like a waterfall.

Mountain Goat’s leaping body was paralyzed by electricity, heavily crashing to the ground, struggling to crawl out.

As soon as he stuck his head out, he saw a tall figure with a cigar in his mouth already standing outside the door, wearing sunglasses he didn’t know where he got from, with the electric light and Mountain Goat’s twisted expression reflecting in the black lenses.

”You...”

Mountain Goat’s tongue, tied in a knot by the electricity, barely uttered a word, and a big, black gun barrel was directly shoved into his mouth.

He Jie smacked his lips and sneered, ”Let you surrender and you made a run for it, now you ended up in my hands. Whether you’ll live or die now depends on the conductor’s mood.”

The electric light disappeared, the room returned to dimness.

Yu Yue, holding an electromagnetic sniper rifle, nimbly crawled out from a room.

Ever since she took that trip with Su Huan, she’s been particularly fond of using windows.

Lao San, Jiang Rong, and others came from all directions, coldly looking at Mountain Goat on the ground.

The soldiers of the Steel Council were indeed elite, but their combat methods were too old-fashioned. When the Firepower Hand and Assault Hand charged in the lead and were taken out by Su Huan, the remaining personnel lacked a firepower focal point, allowing Su Huan to counter-encircle with strategic planning.

Ambushing and sniping, six were killed in one battle, and then like Mountain Goat, were broken down individually, reducing three more.

So far, the Steel Council side has lost fourteen in the whole battle, plus the heavily injured and unfit for combat Qu Hang, which makes fifteen.

Su Huan leisurely walked down the wall step by step; if not for the hair standing on end, one might think his world was opposite to normal.

He Jie scanned him with envious eyes for a moment, ”This exoskeleton modification is really good.”

”Everyone will have one in a few days; what I have is just a trial version.”

Su Huan said casually, squatting next to Mountain Goat.

Among the initial three hundred soldiers of the Steel Council, besides outstanding ones like He Jie, others naturally got eliminated.

During the years with his former boss, he heard about entire teams wiped out on missions roughly every month, and personnel changes in large plans were even more frequent.

Additions and subtractions, three hundred was just a notional number in the later stages; nobody knew exactly how many teams and strong individuals the company had except the board of directors.

And Mountain Goat happened to be someone he knew.

His previous life wasn’t particularly well off; although he was among the earliest soldiers, there wasn’t much change after a few years, managing to climb up to a Lieutenant position.

However, the death rate of the team he led was very low.

This was due to his strange evolution path, but Su Huan didn’t know his exact profession, just that it belonged to the ”Collector” field.

This field is known to produce mysterious, esoteric abilities.

Mountain Goat’s profession collected information through vision, then generated a probability-like judgment through analysis of this information; no matter how dangerous, he only needed to follow his ability’s guidance, walking the path with the smallest danger probability to always turn peril into safety.

When executing tasks with their team in the previous life, this guy led everyone to sneak around for three days, entering a Tier Three Evolution Beast’s lair without a single battle.

It left a deep impression on Su Huan.

But the weaknesses were also apparent; this guy’s combat power was very weak, and the Steel Council seemed not to have his ability formula, so he remained a Tier One Evolver for many years.

Stuck at the Lieutenant level.

It is this peculiar ability that has allowed him to flee for so long and not be shot by Yu Yue.

Mountain Goat looked at the approaching Su Huan, quickly turning thoughts over in his mind.

Since the other side didn’t kill him immediately, he must still have some value.

Whether he’s targeting this skill of his or the intelligence in his head,

If it’s the latter, how much should he reveal to ensure the other party won’t suspect and he can keep his life...

The intelligence said the armed train’s conductor is a resourceful and dangerous character.

This kind of person is ruthless, one mustn’t say a wrong word.

As for the option of keeping secrets for the company, it didn’t even appear in his mind.

He indeed used to be a soldier.

But now he’s just a mercenary doing things for money. Even if the company supports his parents and family, it’s something he exchanged his life for.

There’s no talk of loyalty or disloyalty.

Everyone gathered for profit, if things go wrong, prioritizing survival brings no guilt.

”So rough.”

Su Huan chuckled softly, reaching out to poke a few spots on Mountain Goat.

Feeling the sharp electricity, Mountain Goat’s eyes widened instantly.

’Is he resorting to torture right away?!’

Every time Su Huan poked him, it was like being jolted by a defibrillator, his body jolting up.

Letting out struggling whimpers from his mouth.

Of course, Su Huan wasn’t just torturing him. Each time, he accurately removed a weapon from his body.

By the last poke, all sorts of scattered dangerous items were taken off.

Including the silent pistol under the armpit.

These soldiers, besides standard weapons, had many unique little gadgets hidden according to personal use habits, like the knife pulled out in a fight and stabbed Lu Xiao.

It’s better to leave each other some sense of security before trust is established.

Su Huan lifted his hand slightly, and He Jie pulled out the gun barrel.

Mountain Goat gasped for breath like a fish out of water, skin twitching involuntarily.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense, the crowd coordinated with the conductor, all with stern expressions, ready to shoot if the opponent acted up.

”Um... what was I supposed to ask him?”

Su Huan suddenly hesitated, looking at the others.

Truly unbelievable.

Yu Yue took a deep breath, turning her head away.

Lao San: Just the right flavor!

Mountain Goat internally collapsed; is this dangerous ”dangerous character” of the armed train really like this?

He Jie bit hard on the unlit cigar in his mouth, for the first time feeling ashamed to be defeated by Su Huan.

Nostrils flaring, he let out a breath, muttering, ”If you think he’s useful, take him along; if not, we’ll shoot him and move on to find the next one. If we keep dawdling, we’ll miss the train.”
