Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Although it was a question, Yu Jing’s tone was calm and devoid of emotion.

The Mirror walked forward with a cat-like grace, holding a battle axe upside down as she stood directly in front of Yu Jing. The two women were both tall and beautiful, attracting the gaze of every man around.

”Will I be made into a puppet even if I die?”

”You can surrender.”

Yu Jing replied blandly.

”But I want to give it a try.”

The Mirror’s face was deathly pale, but a flush of red emerged.

Fierce killing intent clashed and bloomed between the two women who were just steps apart.

...

”Boom——”

”Dodge, dodge, dodge! We can’t hold this!”

”Boom boom boom!”

A series of explosions erupted in the bustling Chenxi Square, directly blowing up three nearby shops and causing a massive loss of supplies.

Two battered figures crawled out of the ruins, escaping in a panic.

”Crazy, they’re all mad, these lunatics have turned the cannons on us. Weren’t they supposed to meet us? Where are those bastards?”

Wang Wu cursed continuously while using his ability to intercept bullets being fired from all around. Whether it was rifle bullets or heavy machine gun rounds, they could all be stopped by him, as if his energy was endless.

Only an unexpected heavy sniper could breach his intercepting blockade.

The camouflaged man with a severed arm had a gloomy expression, ”They probably retreated seeing the situation wasn’t right. The gunfire seems to have lessened, that woman must have attracted the fire for us. We should run now.”

With that said, he sped up and dashed into the alley ahead. Even with one arm lost, as a ”Defender,” he ran faster than a same-tier ”Power Supplier.”

The gun-blocking Wang Wu suddenly froze, his expression changing drastically, ”Don’t go, there’s...”

Before he could finish, the camouflaged man flew back faster than he had gone out.

The wound burst open again, blood gushing like a fountain.

”The Trainmaster said today is important. Anyone causing trouble will die.”

A voice like muffled thunder came from ahead, as if a Fierce Beast was residing in the narrow alley.

Under the uncertain and suspicious gaze of the two, a man holding a shield walked out of the alley. Wearing gray-green trousers and a black vest, his face with stubble was as ordinary as a truck driver, yet the ferocious aura he carried sent chills down one’s spine.

Wang Wu looked as if he had seen a ghost, ”...Clearly Tier One, how could you not defeat him?”

The camouflaged man was so frustrated he wanted to spit blood. He was just shield-bashed out by someone upon entering.

He was equally baffled inside. Even with severe injuries, this shouldn’t happen. The power gap between Tier Two and Tier One was terrifying, especially for a close-combat Tier Two like himself, with strength far exceeding a skill-focused ”Defender.”

There’s something fishy about him!

Unwilling to admit he couldn’t defeat a Tier One, the warning bells in his heart made him decide to turn around.

Besides, the market is complex with plenty of places to escape.

”I’ll hold him off!”

The camouflaged man shouted in anger and charged forward again.

Liang Kuan raised his shield, stepping forward steadily, but each step grew heavier, matching the speed of the camouflaged man’s full sprint!

They clashed again, but the camouflaged man used a clever move, avoiding direct impact and leaping upward. With a Tier Two Evolver’s jumping power, he could directly jump to the second-floor rooftop of a shop.

Watching the burly man charge beneath him, the camouflaged man slightly curled his lips.

An energy barrier just appeared between him and Liang Kuan. Even if the opponent wanted to intercept, they would have to break this energy barrier first.

But Liang Kuan remained calm, only his nostrils twitched. The air immediately seemed to be pumped, whistling, and the muscles under his skin rippled like coiled dragons, roaring to break free from the flesh. The shield in his hand cleaved upward like a giant axe!

The camouflaged man’s eyes flashed with absurdity. How could an energy barrier maintained by a Tier Two ”Power Supplier” be easily broken?

That barrier was tough enough to withstand heavy machine gun fire!

But the next moment, a crisp cracking sound reached his ears, and the heavy metal shield came whistling down on him.

An explosion vaguely like a thunderclap carried an immense, irresistible force towards his leg.

”Boom!”

The camouflaged man was sent flying into the air, his entire lower body instantly losing feeling.

But seeing the open sky above made him breathe a sigh of relief; as long as he got out, it was enough. The opponent was clearly a power-type Warrior, and he was confident he could escape once he broke free.

Yet in the next moment, a ghostly blue light streaked from afar, casting a fearful shadow over his face.

At the Iron Wall’s edge tower, Yu Yue, temporarily on guard, slightly frowned.

Clearly, she was not satisfied with her shot.

The wind and sand somewhat interfered with her accuracy.

Additionally, the opponent reacted quickly, deflecting his body at the critical moment, causing the well-planned shot to only break a leg.

But with Liang Kuan there, these two are no longer a threat.

Yu Yue inclined her ear for a moment, then said softly, ”Xiaoba, the last one’s almost through, don’t let him reach the venue. Can you stop him? If not, I’ll call Lin Jin.”

In the auction hall, the boy sitting in the corner suddenly smiled, ”No problem, this is my turf after all.”

He said this and wheeled forward into the sandstorm. A hooded man approached quickly, looking like an ordinary Scavenger.

But the unique aura of a Tier Two from the man was like a beacon in the night, impossible to hide.

The man hesitated upon seeing Xiaoba, not because of the strength of a Tier One Evolver, but because he didn’t expect to see a child in a wheelchair in the apocalypse.

The man took two steps to the side, continuing to walk towards the auction, wanting to quickly relay to Wei Mountain that both the Genetic Primordial and Wang Wu had been lost.

But Xiaoba kept pace, showing no intention of giving way, and the distance between them shortened.

The man’s eyes turned cold, ”I’m just out strolling, not breaking any of your Zhijin’s rules, right?”

Xiaoba shook his head.

The man’s expression relaxed slightly, ”Then get out of my way.”

Xiaoba shook his head again, gently saying, ”Here, whether you’ve broken the rules or not, only the Trainmaster decides.”

The man’s face froze, his killing intent bursting forth in an instant.

But seated in the wheelchair, Xiaoba’s eyes turned to iron, and in a dazzling moment, the entire world seemed to change. Thousands of steels extended from the buildings, weaving a massive throne behind Xiaoba, instantly transforming the space between them into solid fortifications.

The man looked up in shock, kicking at an extended metal rod.

With a thud, the metal shuddered slightly, yet continued its indomitable insertion, forming a grim defensive structure enclosing Xiaoba.

The man’s face instantly turned sour. With Tier Two strength, he could easily crush an iron wall with a kick, let alone a mere steel rod!

Yet this metal under Xiaoba’s control was so sturdy. Either its tier surpassed his, or Xiaoba’s mastery over metal far exceeded his tier!

As a builder of this city, Xiaoba personally laid the framework of every building.

No one understands Zhijin better than him!

...

The lively combat outside somewhat affected the auction’s atmosphere.

A group of onlookers frequently glanced outside. Luckily, they couldn’t bid, so it didn’t impact the overall transaction price.

After half an hour of fierce combat, the complete ”Eternal Motion Mechanism” formula was still taken by Wei Mountain.

In exchange for some information and twenty thousand points.

The total value exceeded one hundred thousand, and the information itself accounted for eighty thousand. For the Trainmaster, that information’s value might be even higher.

Wei Mountain provided a precise location of a military factory, one qualified to produce military exoskeletons, which is far more enticing than mere weapons and ammunition.

Ordinary military factories can usually be scavenged from remote cities or rural areas.

But these factories producing special equipment are concealed expertly, without exact location data, even drones scanning overhead can’t spot them!
