Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Immediately someone shouted, ”Brother Biao, you don’t need to scare us. The outside is a mess now; whether or not the train captain can return is uncertain. We trusted you and followed him thinking there’d be a good path, but now there’s no path, only a dead end!”

”Hah!”

The crowd loudly echoed.

Wen Biao straightened his dagger, glanced at the blade, and said regretfully, ”Absurd...”

Then he stood up, and with a sudden fling, hit the guy. The incident happened abruptly; the opponent was a ”Gatherer” primarily using firearms, got his head blown off by the dagger, without a handle, the person collapsed instantly.

The crowd stood up horrified, and before they could say anything, they were already controlled by Wen Biao’s men who had stealthily approached.

Wen Biao stepped forward, pulled out his dagger, and casually wiped it on someone who had echoed earlier. The latter was immediately frightened out of his wits. The person who just shouted was a Tier One Evolver, while he hadn’t even entered any tier and had no courage to confront Wen Biao.

Trembling all over, he forced a smile, ”Brother Biao, they dragged me here. I didn’t...”

Wen Biao looked at the cleaned dagger, held the man’s head, and stabbed it directly into his mouth, twisting it a few times, executing the move as one would slaughter a pig.

Blood splattered, and the narrow space was filled with the stench of blood.

The crowd was immediately even more terrified.

”You bunch of spineless losers think you can demand an explanation from the train captain?”

Wen Biao sneered, his fierce beast tattoo on his scalp becoming more vivid.

Regardless of whether the crowd pleaded or threatened, a total of eight people of various sizes were all stabbed to death on the spot by Wen Biao, one stab each.

Two Tier Ones tried to rebel, but they were directly blasted by the gunmen Wen Biao had already arranged.

”Bang.”

The dagger, covered in blood up to the handle, was thrown to the ground. Wen Biao commanded indifferently, ”Report the video and the incident to the train, and by the way, ask how to handle the bodies; follow the instructions from above.”

...

Tianze Base, underground, fifteenth floor.

Ma Hongyu abruptly opened his eyes, seeing the familiar darkness. Feeling he had just completed his evolution and had yet to restore full perception, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.

”I was just trapped in a terrifying nightmare. That man clawed through the ceiling with one hand. It’s absurd! That ceiling is over thirty centimeters thick of alloy, with all kinds of building materials, combined thickness over two meters, unlike those flimsy residential buildings outside. How could he just come down like that...”

”It must be the immense pressure he gives me, causing hallucinations. But I’ve advanced to Tier Three, the first step was stable, and I just need to execute according to plan; the outside should be in a digestion phase now, right?”

”It entered the digestion phase about an hour ago.”

A voice responded.

Ma Hongyu was puzzled, ”Why is it so much earlier than expected?”

As he spoke, he suddenly felt something strange. His body’s perception had recovered, and it didn’t feel like the sticky sensation of being in a Fungus Carpet nutrient pool, but rather cold, like lying on some metal object. Most importantly, the Fungus Carpet’s voice usually appeared in his mind, but this time it was in his ears.

And it’s so damn familiar?!

Before he could despair, a handsome face with narrow eyes appeared in front of him, smiling without any apology and said, ”Sorry to disturb you, I wonder what that nightmare you mentioned looked like?”

Ma Hongyu resolutely closed his eyes, reopened them after a moment, his face twisted, unbelievable absurdity filled his eyes, voice hoarse, ”No, are you insane?”

According to normal logic, if Su Huan had found him, he couldn’t possibly advance to Tier Three, and if he did advance to Tier Three, he couldn’t have been found.

But what was the deal with this face in front of him?

He didn’t think his fake death trick could deceive anyone, so why was he allowed to advance to Tier Three?

Su Huan’s smile had a hint of danger, ”I am giving you a chance to reorganize your words.”

Ma Hongyu closed his eyes, feeling unprecedented power within, calmly said, ”You are Tier Three, I am Tier Three, and this is a relatively confined space where the effect of voice can be infinitely amplified.”

Su Huan playfully said, ”The effect of energy can also be infinitely amplified.”

Ma Hongyu, ”It seems the secret attracts you more than I imagined, so we can deepen our cooperation on the basis of our previous one. You return my medicine, and I’ll tell you the key node for Tier Four.”

Su Huan was surprised, ”Why should I cooperate with you?”

”So you want mutual destruction?”

”You misunderstand something.”

”Oh?”

Ma Hongyu’s playful face vanished, replaced by indifference. Invisible sound waves condensed into a sharp spike, piercing towards Su Huan.

...

”Boom boom boom...”

”Boom——”

In a violent tremor, a human-shaped indentation appeared on a lead-alloy steel plate over a meter thick. Ma Hongyu’s blue and swollen eyes couldn’t hide his fear as he looked at the completely unharmed Captain, who seemed like a war god, and suddenly coughed up blood.

What exactly is this guy’s ability?

How can he directly seal sound and even the energy within him?

Magic sealing?

Immunity?

Invincibility?

And aren’t they all ”Manipulators”?

Why is his physical strength so powerful? Getting punched by him hurt more than a giant mushroom sitting on him. The reason he lasted three minutes is that Su Huan wanted to beat him for three minutes!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t withstand a single punch!

As he watched Su Huan walk over with his usual smile, Ma Hongyu suppressed all his suspicions, forced a laugh, and said, ”Cough, can we reconcile?”

Su Huan grabbed him by the neck like a chick, pulling him off the wall, teasingly said, ”Why the sudden change from arrogant to humble?”
