Armed Train in the Apocalypse

”Damn it!”

The newly boarded Lin Jin’s brain had completely crashed, overwhelmed by the insane flood of information about the ”million-strong zombie tide,” ”inducers,” and ”Evolution Beasts” assaulting his fragile nerves.

”You’re joking, right?”

Lin Jin tried to find a teasing expression on everyone’s faces, but unfortunately, there was none.

Among them, the only person he was familiar with was Mountain Goat, who had returned with him. At this moment, Mountain Goat’s eyes seemed to be covered with a thin membrane, and his calm expression was eerily strange.

Mountain Goat was genuinely calm.

Using his ability to look around, all he saw was a land awash in red, leaving no reason to struggle; even expressions were a waste of emotion.

There was no probability of survival; all directions, front, back, left, right, up, and down, were dead ends!

Outside the train car came a rumbling sound, accompanied by the screech of twisting metal. Su Huan squinted slightly. Originally, he didn’t plan to use this thing. In his past life, he had no deep enmity with the Steel Council. Although he had been exploited, they had also protected him for four years. Furthermore, using the inducer would only make it harder to extricate himself.

But ever since he learned that in his past life it was the company that first betrayed him, the train conductor’s mind began working rapidly to kill a thousand enemies while damaging himself even more.

Ha, still want the new city plan?

From this point on, from today five years, or even ten years from now, they could damn well forget about building the new city!

A million zombies plowing the land, coupled with mutated plants entrenched.

New city?

From now on, it’s a ghost town!

If he doesn’t bare his teeth, do they really think Su Huan is a dog that doesn’t bite!

”Since there’s nothing else to say, let’s work overtime tonight and make a big meal for everyone in the morning!”

Su Huan laughed heartily.

The first to act was Liang Kuan, who said nothing from start to finish, as if it were just an ordinary welcome party to greet new colleagues.

Xiaoba’s bright black eyes were hidden under his tousled hair, as if deep in thought.

Yu Yue was shocked for a while, realizing there wasn’t much she could do, and had already begun to think about what big meal to make tomorrow morning.

As for Yu Jing, she stood in place, looking at the quickly evaporating potion on the ground with some eagerness.

On the side, Lao San looked at the bewildered Lin Jin and handed him a cigarette, but the latter shook his head.

Then Lao San put it in his own mouth, only to have it rudely snatched away by He Jie next to him. Lao San wasn’t surprised at all and pulled another one out of his pocket, placing it in his mouth. ”You’re just not used to the train conductor’s way of doing things. You’ll get used to it slowly.”

Before he could reach for a lighter, he saw a small flame light up in front of him, reflecting a young face full of bitterness, ”A tide of a million zombies, isn’t this... too crazy?”

”It’s just a damn madman! I’ve boarded a pirate ship!”

He Jie cursed angrily next to him.

Lao San exhaled a puff of smoke, ”Bullshit, it’s a bit crazy, but it’s just right!”

”What are you guys doing back there? Come and receive the guests.”

Su Huan’s calm voice was relayed to the three’s ears by Yu Yue.

...

Night enveloped the land, and the rain clouds above poured relentlessly like a floodgate, crazily washing over the surface structures, with already two meters deep accumulated water in the deep pits on the railway tracks.

The train’s spotlight tore through the rain curtain, heading toward the Steel Council’s third line of defense.

Li Wangchuan had had enough of those noisy directors and brought them to witness this last battle.

Under command, the mining engineering vehicle had already moved to both sides of the tracks, with large floodlights glaring illumination onto the entire track.

The surrounding soldiers had ceased fire, standing in the shadows, each fixedly staring at the train.

”Boom!”

The new barricade lock was triggered.

”Open fire!”

The new order was given.

Metallic bullet rain replaced the rain shower, striking once again against the train’s armor.

The guide vehicle, long prepared, charged at the incoming armored train. Engineering vehicles on both sides approached the decelerating train, with large cutting equipment rumbling to life, a mix of oil and metal scents wafting into nostrils and ears.

Yet it didn’t rush forward, but stayed at a reasonable distance, like hyenas, ready to tear into the train’s flesh.

Inside the train, Xiaozhao scanned the path ahead over and over. Suddenly, a large pit appeared on the screen. Although not been fully scanned, it definitely wasn’t something that could be filled in a short time.

His pupils shrank with realization, exclaiming, ”Conductor, there’s a large pit ahead on the tracks!”

Su Huan gave it a glance and replied calmly, ”The tricks aren’t exhausted. No need to panic. Yu Yue, listen carefully for any sounds.”

Yu Yue’s eyes flickered with surprise, ”Can’t hear them anymore. It’s like everyone’s disappeared from outside the train car.”

”Probably isolated by an ability user.”

Su Huan wasn’t surprised in the least.

Although most of the Steel Council consisted of Evolvers using drugs like He Jie, the drug supply was limited, forcing some to awaken on their own. Along with some naturally awakened high-ranking members, board bodyguards, and more, it was normal to find someone with powers to counter the train.

Su Huan came over to Xiaoba’s wheelchair, ”Have you mastered that skill yet?”

Xiaoba clenched the armrest tightly, his expression dark, ”I’m sorry, I...”

A hand landed on his small shoulder, cutting off his words.

Su Huan’s voice always carried a teasing tone, but with Xiaoba, there was added sincerity, ”Nothing to apologize for. The rest’s up to you.”

Gazing at Su Huan’s unwavering trust, Xiaoba nodded firmly.

Behind them, He Jie, Lin Jin, and the others came over as well.

Su Huan lifted his head, ”Open the windows, from here on we’ll rely on our own eyes to observe.”
