Armed Train in the Apocalypse

The crowd was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

All the board members finally felt relieved.

”It seems the New City Project can proceed smoothly.”

”Naive. Although the armed train was defeated, the evolution power they exhibited is formidable. Once the company acquires their professional formula, our development speed will far surpass before.”

”Perhaps there’s hope to catch up with the leading companies!”

”Where’s the champagne? Open a bottle.”

A few directors, holding champagne glasses, walked toward Li Wangchuan by the window, ”President Li, the materials we discussed earlier will arrive tomorrow. However, I hope the armed train...”

Li Wangchuan looked at the flames outside the window, his furrowed brow finally relaxed, ”The armed train is a trophy of the company. Naturally, I, Li Wangchuan, will not monopolize it.”

Having hit a soft nail, the man was unbothered and continued to negotiate terms.

Besides those seeking out Li Wangchuan, other directors also engaged in various interest exchanges among themselves.

Chairman Zhang, however, was the only one excluded.

With a dark expression, he shrank into a corner.

It’s not that he had nothing of value to exchange, but the moment the armed train was subsided, he lost the qualification to negotiate!

Some even began to flatter Li Wangchuan, openly proposing how to divide his power and assets in his presence.

In the war between the armed train and the Steel Council, Li Wangchuan emerged as the biggest winner.

Meanwhile, he became part of the spoils.

————

”We won.”

Inside the six-story building, Wang Yi said with a lack of enthusiasm.

Although it was a predetermined outcome from the start, the Steel Council’s performance was embarrassingly poor.

It looked like a pyrrhic victory no matter how you saw it.

Expecting to be ridiculed by those around, unexpectedly, this fellow was full of praise for Li Wangchuan.

”Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Uncle Wang indeed chose a capable helmsman.”

Rarely, Wang Yi didn’t rebuke, standing up from the sofa like a lady who had just watched a play, she yawned lightly, ”You should head back early too, the roads at night aren’t safe.”

”What’s that?”

No response came from the middle-aged man, but rather a cry of surprise.

Wang Yi furrowed her brows and looked at him, surprisingly seeing a trace of panic on his face. A bit startled, she followed the man’s gaze to look outside the window.

Only to see above the battleground, a heavy, black mass above the armed train. It wasn’t a dense overcast sky but a surging blackness.

It resembled countless living creatures gathering into a black cloud in the sky, devouring all light.

The soldiers of the Steel Council also noticed the anomaly and began adjusting the angle of the searchlights, casting them skyward.

Within the illuminated circular area, amidst the turbulent black wings, countless crimson eyes stared intently at everyone below!

Wang Yi’s pupils suddenly constricted—

It wasn’t a cloud but tens of thousands of black crows!

The assistant quickly stepped forward to open the window. The sound of flapping wings rolled like thunder, the shadows of the crows almost obscuring the entire sky, even the acid rain was blocked by their bodies, only dribbling sparsely through the gaps between the flock like sieved sand.

”Evolution Beasts! It’s a group of Evolution Beasts!” Someone shouted, their voice drenched in undisguised fear.

Wang Yi instinctively looked toward the deep pit in front of the tracks.

At this point, no searchlights were focused there anymore.

Such a violent explosion, even Zhong Cheng might not survive, let alone Su Huan, a frail Power Supplier.

Wang Yi found her paranoia laughable.

It must have been the intense battle that attracted some Evolution Beasts.

Just as the corner of her eye swept past—

The pitch-black pit inexplicably flashed with light, cold blue luminescence rapidly spreading across the water surface like vines.

But everyone was drawn to the crows overhead, not noticing that spot.

’He’s still alive!’

A look of astonishment flickered in the woman’s eyes.
