Armed Train in the Apocalypse

”Mm.”

”How about eating a little more?”

”Hm?”

In a bad mood?

The little cook usually wouldn’t urge anyone to eat.

Xiaozhao passed by, glanced at the two, with a strange expression, spun in place, and hurried back.

Before taking a step, Su Huan called out.

”That batch of supplies just arrived, right?”

Xiaozhao glanced at Yu Yue’s expression, nodded stiffly, ”They’re all in the dining car...”

Su Huan raised an eyebrow, ”Why put them in the dining car?”

Xiaozhao was speechless.

Su Huan rubbed his temples, speechless, ”One by one, acting weird...”

Yu Yue opened the door to the dining car, ”It’s waiting for the train conductor to inspect it.”

The dining car, once warm and cozy, was now cluttered with miscellaneous items, including ordered tobacco and alcohol, along with a heap of materials. Many things Su Huan hadn’t even requested, they just appeared there after a glance.

But what baffled him more was the presence of three beautiful women inside.

Not familiar, but had met once.

The woman he intended to buy gloves from was in front; she had clearly just showered and wore light makeup. Her slender legs were accentuated by tight black jeans, and her graceful upper body wore a fitted white T-shirt with a light green outerwear.

Instantly transforming from a daughter of a struggling pandemic-era vendor to a graceful elder sister.

The woman stood awkwardly, armed with the gloves, in place.

The other two women weren’t as tall, yet equally voluptuous with delicate lip lines and non-aggressive faces, between twenty-five and thirty years old, somewhat similar to Yu Yue.

”This pair of gloves and... I am yours if you need.”

The woman gripped the gloves tightly, not daring to raise her head.

She didn’t know which formidable figure she had offended until the Guard Army came knocking. When asked to personally deliver the gloves, she had her suspicions, but was still startled by the grand scene.

Barrels of luxurious Tier One filtered water used for bathing, over ten people customizing clothes for her on the spot, with four or five people instructing her on what’s appropriate to say.

Altogether, over fifty people were busying themselves around her!

She even thought she was about to be served on a dining table.

Instead, she ended up on this train that everyone in Dragon Gate speculated about—the floating train.

Even without turning his head, Su Huan felt a chill on his spine.

’Damn, I’ve been set up.’

No need to think; he knew it’d be the conniving Huayang’s doing.

The reason these women were here was because he glanced a bit longer during the transaction.

But that was... that was an appreciative look!

”The conductor has already eaten, why pack it up, are we eating again tonight?”

A soft hand pressed lightly against Su Huan’s lower back, gently massaging, the gentle voice carrying a hint of coolness.

Su Huan calmly said, ”Xiaozhao, first have the supplies stored, then send the people back, compensate them appropriately, and have Liang Kuan take a trip to bring Huayang over. Since he’s eager to join the train, I’ve thought it through—such talented individuals shouldn’t be missed.”

”Have Lao Er and He Jie form a twenty-person instructor team, and specially train these motivated elite trainees, aiming to hone him into the best of the best.”

”This matter must be kept quiet, not hasty nor rushed, I want a complete twenty-four-hour training program.”

”Understood?”

Xiaozhao inhaled sharply, nodding frantically.

Wondering if he should inform Old Jiang to prepare a thicker coffin.

If it’s too late, he might miss the boat.

Once the dining car was cleared, the little cook’s face looked much better.

Su Huan relaxed on the orange cat couch.

Not afraid of her, the train conductor simply didn’t want to quarrel with a pregnant woman.

...

Business Alliance’s Dragon Gate City base.

Three Tier Two powerhouses who dominated the Dragon Gate Colosseum sat obediently at the table, Hua Junyan stood across, hands on the table, with a serious expression, ”No matter what, don’t get carried away, absolutely don’t win, understood?”

The second-ranked brute touched his bald head, furrowed his brows, remained silent.

The sixth-ranked cat demon squinted her beautiful eyes, tapping her nails, ”Such a mighty man, can’t I just climb into his bed?”

”You can!” Hua Junyan earnestly said, ”If you manage to get into his bed, I promise no man in the Business Alliance will dare covet you in the future, and I’ll give you a promotion and let you choose any position at the same rank. If you want to manage, then manage; do whatever you want!”

”Really?”

The woman seemed skeptical, her beast-like pupils slightly dilated.

Beside her, the fifth-ranked fierce beast looked somewhat grim, having pursued the cat demon for a while.

”Why must we lose?”

Hua Junyan’s eyes chilled, ”Because he can crush the three of you with one hand. I advise against any tricks, or you won’t even get into the colosseum.”

More cruel words went unsaid, although grooming a Tier Two Evolver costs plenty of resources, any major force can afford such losses.

Though these groomed individuals were carefully selected by the company, the impact of evolution is profound.

Initially revered entities become reachable or beneath one’s feet post-evolution, with few able to maintain composure.

”The company affords you strength-matched respect and treatment, not seeking your wholehearted loyalty, but don’t ruin things, or you’ll lose remaining goodwill.”

Hua Junyan again cautioned the trio.

He too felt concerned; these colosseum-honed Evolvers had excessive savagery, difficult to control.

Still, must have the company send more operatives to ensure replacements anytime.

Just after sending off the trio, Huayang sneaked in, looking skeptical and uneasy, ”Uncle, something feels off.”

Hua Junyan frowned slightly, ”What’s wrong?”

”About sending the women, there’s this looming disaster feel.”

Hua Junyan chuckled mute, ”What big shot doesn’t like women? All great achievers have great desires, having more women is natural, especially since the world has changed...”

”So you’re giving me another aunt?”

”Rubbish, three is already enough for my headache, otherwise I wouldn’t sneak out for work.”

”Weren’t you driven out?”

Seeing Hua Junyan’s handsome face show slight sinister distortion, Huayang quickly changed the topic.

”Honestly, I quite want to follow Brother Su.”

Huayang looked yearningly at the train suspended outside the window.

”Maintain that sincere attitude, off you go.”

”Hehe, once nephew succeeds, if I have meat to eat, uncle, you’ll have bones to gnaw; if I have a villa, uncle, you’ll have...”

”Don’t take off your shoes, the smell is...”

”Bang!”

Seeing the closed door, Hua Junyan retrieved his shoe, laughingly scolded under his breath, ”Little rascal, who taught you to be so cheeky...”

...

Similar things happened in other factions, albeit with slightly varied details.

Changbai Pharmaceutical hopes to showcase abilities before losing, potentially discussing Genetic Potion deals with the Armed Train.

Iron Pine Forest Camp and the Mining site, these two major forces aim to probe the train occupants’ strength this way.

The train conductor’s strength is indisputable, a Tier Four, unmatched in Donghuang.

But his subordinates might not be.

City Hall also hosted a dialogue.

An ordinary-looking man leaned against the mayor’s desk, ”They have backups, options, losing is losing, big deal to start fresh.”

Ruble didn’t lift his head while checking receipts, his dexterity exceeded that of a bank’s veteran accountant, the room resonating with crisp sounds.

”You have options too, no major force would kill off top-tier Tier Two combat power.”

Cheng Zhan rubbed scissors on the back of his hand, ”And you?”

”Me?” The sound stopped, Ruble lifted his head, smiled, ”What’s troubling me? At worst, I’ll return some earnings, as long as you’re alive, nobody will finish me.”
