Armed Train in the Apocalypse

The conductor’s inner thoughts felt like they sprouted two sharp horns, and the corners of his mouth were tugged high.

Cheng Zhan was a bit speechless at the method Su Huan provided, but he was happy to learn that Donghuang had so many experts. He planned to look around other districts if he didn’t find any more exciting experts in a while.

Cheng Zhan pointed to the hand on his neck, ”Can you let me down now?”

”No problem.”

Su Huan let him down and kindly patted the dust off him, causing a pile of dead skin and scabs to fall rustlingly.

”But a favor is a favor, you owe me three lives,”

Su Huan said with a smile.

Cheng Zhan was stunned for a moment, ”No, I...”

”What, planning to renege?”

The conductor’s previously peaceful gaze instantly turned into knives, sweeping over Cheng Zhan and searching for the high-value parts.

’Maybe I can learn from No. 1 and forcibly advance a Tier Four through degeneration, harvesting a batch of materials in the process...’

The cold gaze made the dignified Tier Three Evolver shiver, ”It’s not about reneging. I felt your help with my advancement; I indeed owe one life...”

”Without me blocking, Old Liang would have killed you on the spot, let alone your advancement. Plus, I spared you, so it’s three lives.”

Seeing that Cheng Zhan had no intention of reneging, Su Huan patiently explained.

Cheng Zhan was a bit depressed but had no choice but to agree.

The grand Dragon Gate signed an unequal treaty under the conductor’s pressure.

Actually, Su Huan also wanted to recruit him, but Ruble’s mention of a true friend made him change his mind.

The conductor had no interest in intruding on others’ friendships, let alone the fact that the train didn’t desperately need him.

The role Cheng Zhan could play on the train wasn’t as significant as that of ”Decomposer” Deng Ke.

The entire evolution process took just about an hour with Su Huan’s assistance, which was quite brief. Lin Jin had to stubbornly sit for several days to fully enhance each of his attributes back then.

Su Huan released the domain and suppressed Cheng Zhan’s unconsciously spreading aura, and the arena once again filled with noise and excitement.

Two mighty fighters clashed fiercely, neither yielding, Dragon Gate advanced to Tier Three on the spot, and at the critical moment, two mysterious Tier Three fighters appeared. But before they could act, Cheng Zhan was subdued single-handedly by a mysterious fighter high in the sky.

One surreal story after another unfolded, repeatedly refreshing the crowd’s understanding.

These stories would be processed repeatedly in the scavengers’ tales, spreading outward and gradually becoming legends.

Some left the scene, while others rushed to get in, hoping to witness the birth of a legend with their own eyes.

Accompanied by Dragon Gate’s defeat, the name ”conductor” gradually spread among ordinary people.

Midair, He Jie spoke nonchalantly, ”To give Old Liang a run for his money, Dragon Gate truly lives up to its reputation.”

The mongoose flicked its tail, eyes bright and calculating when it could defeat the conductor.

Although the conductor was tremendously strong, strong to the point of despair, the cat always had its fighting spirit.

The bosses of Mine City and Iron Pine Forest Camp exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat dejected. While they too had Tier Twos, they didn’t have top-notch experts like Cheng Zhan of the Dragon Gate who could hold the scene. Now that he had advanced to Tier Three, among the six factions, they were instead at the bottom.

Ruble didn’t care about these things, as long as Cheng Zhan was alive. Not only was he alive, but he also advanced to Tier Three. Ruble was already thinking about how he’d slam tables at City Hall demanding more money from others.

Ge Mian felt the deepest emotion, ”Whether it’s Cheng Zhan or Liang Kuan, they should have been legends. It’s just that the conductor is so strong, strong enough to overshadow them.”

Upon hearing this, whether those on the Dragon Gate side or the Armed Train side, everyone nodded in agreement.

If time were pushed back five or ten years, this world would have countless legends, but for now, there was only one.

And that was the conductor.
