Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Looking into Su Huan’s near ink-black eyes, Haywood’s face was ashen.

Familiar with Donghuang culture, he knew very well what Su Huan meant by ”gift”.

The problem is, no one even knows if this tree actually exists!

Haywood instinctively glanced at the empty-handed captives of the five investigation teams standing next to Su Huan.

”Hey, you guys go help out. We’re all from the same company; how can you be so indifferent.”

Su Huan said indifferently.

The captain of the investigation team briefly had a twisted expression, realizing for the first time just how detestable Haywood’s face was!

Suddenly, a soldier responsible for the outer perimeter rushed up.

After the report, He Jie approached Su Huan with a visible odd expression, ”A large number of mutant beasts are attacking from downhill...”

The moment he finished speaking, indistinct beast roars and gunfire could already be heard.

Only when facing large mutant beasts would soldiers use such high-damage weapons like grenade launchers.

Though the mountaintop edges were surrounded by soldiers from the Armed Corps, Haywood and the others could broadly discern the situation from the sounds.

”Someone used mutant beast pheromones.”

Lin Jin, Mountain Goat, and others all looked directly at Su Huan sitting in the center.

Their faces were filled with understandable confusion.

Though no one spoke, the same question was clear on everyone’s faces.

Boss, we’re holding the upper hand now!

Su Huan smacked his lips speechlessly, ”What are you looking at me for? I didn’t release them.”

All the senior members present had firsthand experience; if they hadn’t run quickly and enough others fallen behind, they would have been drowned by the zombie horde.

Remembering it now still sent shivers down their spines.

He Jie stared at Su Huan for a long time and, seeing he had no intention of going back on his word, relaxed.

As long as it wasn’t something the Captain planned, it could be controlled.

Then he turned a hostile gaze toward Haywood, ”So it was you causing trouble!”

Around them, the sound of drawing gun bolts quickly ensued, and Haywood waved his hands in panic, ”We’re just out on a search mission; we wouldn’t bring that kind of stuff, surely it’s Black Kite’s doing!”

”If you intend to frame us, there’s no need.” HT-426 stood up from behind the cover.

Opening the exterior protective layer of the exoskeleton, revealing the tactical suit inside, and gesturing to a crimson test tube among several hanging from her right shoulder.

”We haven’t used them yet.”

Haywood’s already pale complexion turned even paler.

He was just about to argue when Su Huan’s deep voice interrupted.

”Perhaps there’s a mole, but that’s irrelevant, I just want to see the Crown Pear tree in an hour.”

”You think you’ve got us cornered?!”

HT-426 furrowed her brows and spoke coldly in the face of hundreds of gun barrels.

”Crack—”

A large tree on the side, snapped by the fierce wind, swept over.

Yu Yue, by Su Huan’s side, snapped out of her daze, pointing the electromagnetic sniper rifle at a specific piece of cover without any hint, the charging pack silently finished charging in 1.2 seconds, and the round quietly entered the rock.

A member of the Black Kite Squad sprang out from behind, with a metal round embedded in the chest plate of his exoskeleton.

”Bang, bang, bang...”

The rough roar of the heavy sniper resonated on the mountaintop, forcefully shredding him into mincemeat. The exoskeleton was torn to shreds, and its metal fragments rolled to the ground.

Liang Kuan stepped forward, hands supporting the wildly swinging tree in mid-air.

”Boom!” A muffled sound, and Old Liang’s body trembled, feet sinking into the muddy water.

Successfully stopping the fallen tree, he, with the help of several soldiers rushed up, pulled it aside.

Su Huan remained expressionless throughout.

He merely glanced at the timer and calmly relayed to everyone on the mountaintop, ”Fifty minutes left.”

Finished speaking, he closed his eyes, using ”Pan-Energy Perception” to attempt a search of the mountaintop.

Mutant plants, insects, rocks contaminated with pan-energy, mutant beasts charging the mountain... everything emitted pan-energy, especially the plants on the ground, piled layer upon layer, mixed into a massive pan-energy wave.

His ”Pan-Energy Perception” wasn’t highly detailed, and he could only attempt to differentiate bit by bit.

The efficiency was extremely low.

Standing in the corner, Qu Hang’s eyes flickered, and all the wind within ten meters of the Captain suddenly calmed.

Rain falling from the sky seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, bypassing this range.

The ground’s water flow quickly cleared up, revealing moist soil.

A flame swept across, instantly drying the ground.

Beyond ten meters, harsh winds roared, and Evolution Beasts charged madly toward the mountaintop through the pouring rain.

Then they were knocked down by soldiers’ gunfire, howling as they slipped off the slippery mountain, falling down the cliffs.

Within ten meters, the weather was calm, even the noise filtered once by Yu Yue.

Seeing Su Huan make no further moves, He Jie pressed the smoking barrel of a heavy machine gun against HT-426’s smooth forehead and sneered, ”Either follow the Captain’s orders to search or I’ll blow your brains out and toss you down the mountain!”

Rage blazed in HT-426’s gray-blue eyes; in thirty years of life, she had never felt so stifled!

Outnumbered, there was no way to counterattack.

Though the squad members’ evolution levels were high, the other side had a large number of Evolver officers, and their high-end combat power completely overwhelmed them.

Thinking of this, HT-426 couldn’t help but inwardly curse Zhao Kuo as useless.

Both were Tier Two Evolvers, yet he was captured in a single encounter.

Where on earth did that bastard run off to?

Though unwilling to admit, there was no courage in her heart to confront Su Huan directly.

The terrifying thunderstorm had already deeply implanted seeds of fear in her heart.
