Armed Train in the Apocalypse

”Let’s keep it for now, it’s not much for its small size. Have the chicks shown any signs of mutation?”

Su Huan asked as he walked forward.

”There are some signs. They’re growing faster, and their muscles are more defined. But to see clear differences, they’ll need a few more days to grow.” Huang Sea opened the car door a step ahead of Su Huan.

His assistant Xiaowang was over there raising the chicks.

They weren’t the fluffy yellow balls you might expect, but a warm orange, each about the size of a palm. They blinked adorably at the group without any signs of fear.

Su Huan’s fingertip sparked with electricity as he gently poked one.

The chick surprisingly flapped its wings and glided away.

The hen in the back, hearing the commotion, fluffed up and flapped her wings, lunging toward the cabin door.

She glared fiercely at Su Huan.

”Interesting. Later, Xiaoba should weld a few cages to limit their movement area, so things don’t get too chaotic.” Su Huan chuckled.

The chicks had indeed mutated, but far from reaching the Tier One level. Perhaps after a few more iterations, they could raise Tier One mutant chickens, which would be a stable material source.

”By the way, take good care of those two Iron-Eating Trees, they might come in handy later.” Su Huan finished speaking and led the group to Carriage No. 9.

Meanwhile, as the conductor was studying the train’s next evolutionary path, two newly formed core teams were already baring their fangs.

Qu Hang still roamed outside the convoy, swiftly moving between rooftops and buildings.

He didn’t look down to check the convoy’s position; he just firmly tracked the convoy’s direction, appearing at the right spot ahead each time to clear any trouble.

Suddenly, Qu Hang paused for a moment, changed his direction, and crawled to the ground.

The sniper rifle appeared in his hands.

Following him, Licking Rabbit, knowing he had identified a target, remained silent. It crouched silently at a corner of the wall, assessing the surroundings to prevent any danger from springing up while Qu Hang was focused.

”Up ahead on the left, the large supermarket is a Mutant Beast’s nest. They’ve been alerted and will meet us in thirty seconds.”

After observing for a moment, Qu Hang stood up and communicated the information to He Jie below using the wind’s sound.

”Received, keep advancing.”

He Jie’s deep voice rose from below.

Qu Hang frowned.

It wasn’t his skill; rather, it was He Jie, that fool, shouting trying with powerful lungs.

Anyone within a few hundred meters could hear it clearly.

This easily exposed the sniper’s position, and even though they were only facing brainless Evolution Beasts, the move made him feel uneasy.

He gave Licking Rabbit a sign and stepped on the edge of the rooftop, leaping down.

The wind cradled his body, slowing his descent. He rolled into a crouch and slipped into the balcony of another building.

Behind him, Licking Rabbit didn’t have his precise skill.

Estimating the distance, it sprinted and jumped across directly.

Meanwhile, the convoy continued forward; within the lead armored transport vehicle, He Jie spat out the cigarette butt and signaled to the vehicles behind to keep moving forward. He gestured his thick finger toward the ”Huahan Supermarket” sign ahead, ”Park the car across the entrance.”

”Yes!”

The soldier driving the vehicle responded firmly.

From within the supermarket came snarling warning sounds.

A completely black Gluttonous Pig with tusks, standing up to a meter high, staggered out of the supermarket.

Before it could take in the situation, the elongated and widened armored transport vehicle rammed into it, sending it flying.

The pig huffed angrily as it tried to get back up, only to be pinned to the ground by a burst of 12.7mm armor-piercing rounds.

Bullets of this caliber would make even a concrete pillar shudder.

The Tier One Gluttonous Pig was killed instantly.

The armored transport vehicle parked right across from the supermarket; He Jie’s thick arms pushed off the vehicle’s roof sides, leaping out directly, and from inside he pulled out two heavy machine guns. Not using the armored vehicle for support, he held one in each hand, bracing them against his hips, and began unleashing fire on the charging Gluttonous Pig horde.

Lv2 ”Dual-Wielding” activated stably, shoulder muscles bulging.

Under the slaughter of the two ammo belts, the narrow supermarket entrance turned into a slaughterhouse, with roars and wails echoing.

The convoy behind didn’t slow at all and continued charging forward.

He Jie constantly calculated the ammo left in the two heavy machine guns.

He casually tossed the smoking heavy machine guns to a nearby soldier.

Without needing instructions, two soldiers began dismantling the scorching barrels and switched in loaded ammo belts, while on the other side, another soldier lifted a prepared heavy machine gun into He Jie’s hands.

Four professional soldiers and four heavy machine guns provided comprehensive service solely for him, yielding massive effect.

A Tier One ”Firepower Hand” eliminated two Tier One Gluttonous Pigs and fourteen ordinary Gluttonous Pigs within a minute.

”Clean the battlefield, dismantle the high-value materials!”

The guns fell silent as He Jie commanded.

Several assault troops rushed out swiftly, establishing a perimeter, while the collectors, armed with military knives, moved ahead to dismantle the Evolution Beast materials.

Five minutes later, a pile of bloody tusks, pig hooves, and other materials was stacked inside the transport vehicle.

The transport vehicle continued moving forward, catching up to the convoy ahead moving at a slower pace.

They had just used a flamethrower to drive away a group of Iron-Eating Trees.

Two armored transport vehicles drove side by side.

He Jie leaned half his body out of the vehicle, pulling out a freshly printed colored map—prepared by Xiaozhao and the others before leaving.
