Armed Train in the Apocalypse

”Speak.”

”First thing, a force called the Mechanical God Cult is heading northward from the Flood Zone, under the guise of congratulating you.”

Su Huan’s eyes opened and closed, as if the compartment lit up for a moment,

Hua Junyan didn’t expect the first piece of news to catch the conductor’s attention and recalled some related details, adding.

”The leading cardinal bishop has Tier Two strength, Beastification type ’Defender,’ exceptionally powerful, leading two hundred Holy Church Army wearing simple power armor. There was some friction with the Limu Ecology, drawn to Zhijin, but they should have left Zhijin by now...”

Su Huan’s eyes revealed a look of reminiscence.

He thought the Mechanical God Cult had completely disappeared due to his appearance, but unexpectedly it was hiding behind him.

Was it simply missed?

Or is there some secret he doesn’t know?

Various pieces of information flashed by like electricity in his mind, but ultimately they were suppressed by the secrets near Lion Pass.

Compared to the truth of the apocalypse, the Mechanical God Cult is no longer important.

”Not familiar, do as you please. Is there anything else?”

Hua Junyan paused, changed his tone, ”Also, forces like Deep Blue Data wish to meet you to express apologies for the Four Nations incident and resolve misunderstandings...”

”Misunderstanding?” Su Huan lifted his eyelids, ”Then let him give me an address, and I’ll personally pay him a visit.”

Hua Junyan let out a light laugh, understanding the conductor’s attitude, didn’t continue on this topic.

”Second thing, Tasia, the jewel of the Northern Alliance’s Mao Bear, wishes to meet you.”

Another unexpected piece of news for Su Huan.

The name Tasia was not unfamiliar to him, indeed among the entire north, he was most familiar with this woman.

But in the past life, Tasia’s most famous identity was Firepower’s General Ju Ru.

Evolved from ’Firepower Hand’ to Tier Five ’Celestial Fire Commander,’ holding an electromagnetic rail cannon and ending a war alone, a ferocious beauty akin to Lord Lian.

The reason Su Huan had He Jie choose this profession, instead of following the old path of the past life, was due to the influence of this woman.

This was undoubtedly a path with a definitive outcome.

However, now it seems evolving to Tier Five is far from simple, Su Huan couldn’t guarantee how far He Jie could go.

But what does this woman want with him?

Being approached by such a person, Su Huan didn’t think it was some alluring affair.

Hua Junyan, observing Su Huan’s expression, continued, ”The low temperature in the Wind Snow Zone has frozen the White Eagle Strait, the White Devil has already landed on Northern Alliance’s soil, recently Obsidian Industries was crushed by them, some have been absorbed by Firepower, and a few have organized a defense line fighting the landed White Devil.”

Su Huan was stunned, this was something that didn’t exist in the past life.

Although some things he couldn’t remember, before he was reborn, Obsidian Industries was definitely thriving, their rifles selling like hot cakes in the apocalypse wasteland.

Such a massive force crumbled just like that?

And the White Devil, this group of beings lacked physical form, survived by parasitizing humans, even ordinary Evolvers lacked effective means to resist it.

”Does Tasia want to talk about this? Has the White Devil entered Donghuang’s territory?”

”I don’t know what Tasia wishes to discuss with you, they just asked us to pass on a message. As for the White Devil, it hasn’t currently appeared within Donghuang’s borders, the company is taking this matter seriously, deploying significant forces on the border. If anything happens, we’ll notify you immediately.”

After conveying these pieces of news, Hu Junyan quietly awaited Su Huan’s response.

After a while, Su Huan asked, ”Meeting location.”

”She said once you’re in the Wind Snow Zone, she’ll come find you.”

”Understood.”

Su Huan responded indifferently, his mind filled with various information and deductions, he didn’t even bother to maintain basic etiquette.

Hua Junyan withdrew, Ruble and the others hadn’t exchanged a single word with Su Huan from beginning to end.

Seeing Su Huan deep in thought, Yu Yue blocked out the sounds beyond the dining compartment, leaving only the howling wind and snow foam outside, dimming the lights slightly.

Su Huan sank into darkness, yet the map of Donghuang in his mind grew clearer.

Donghuang’s territory reaches the extreme north, while the Northern Alliance is geopolitically split by Donghuang, forming the countries of Mao Bear and White Bear.

Mao Bear is to the left of Donghuang, and White Bear to the right.

Beyond Lion Pass is the Changbai Ice Field, even before the apocalypse, it experiences an eight-month winter, most plains covered by ice and snow for over half the year, hence the name Changbai Ice Field.

It simultaneously birthed Donghuang’s largest province, Changbai Province.

Within the province, from north to south exceeds 3000 kilometers, with a temperature variance reaching thirty degrees.

Not minus thirty degrees to zero, but minus sixty degrees to minus thirty degrees.

Entering Lion Pass doesn’t mean entering the Wind Snow Zone, according to explorations by forces like Changbai Pharmaceutical, one should go north another hundred-plus kilometers, reaching Black Water Lake, to truly be within the Wind Snow Zone.

There, the wind and snow rages all night, temperatures dropping below a hundred degrees Celsius, capable of annihilating any life.

Even zombies don’t roam that area.

It’s a true dead zone for life, also where armies disappear.

And further north is the Eternal Night Zone, where darkness falls rapidly, since the apocalypse Iron Pine Forest Camp, Mine City, Changbai Pharmaceutical have sent countless exploration teams north, but crossing a certain ’threshold,’ no one returns.

Thus, major forces hypothesize that beyond that threshold is the true Eternal Night Zone.

By now, ten of the twelve major zones have emerged.

No one has seen the remaining two, but precisely due to this, no one can deny their existence, and perhaps the secret Su Huan wants to uncover lies within these last two zones.

Regardless of how the White Devil traversed the vast no man’s land, if they defeat the Northern Alliance’s White Bear, their next move will inevitably be the Donghuang at the doorstep!

Though clueless as to how this sequence of changes came about, Su Huan sensed he had little time left.

”Set off.”

A cold, hard voice echoed in the dining compartment.

Yu Yue paused for a moment, ”Set off?”

”Notify Hu Shuo, He Jie, and everyone who needs informing, set off now, target Lion Pass.”

Su Huan rose and walked towards his compartment, his figure gradually swallowed by the darkness, ”Tomorrow when I wake up, I hope to see plains covered in snow.”

...

Dragon Gate City, city hall.

Same office, same identification method, Cheng Zhan pressed both hands onto the table, staring at the fat man behind.

Assuredly said, ”You seem to have gained weight again.”

Ruble’s fat trembled, taking on a ghostly appearance, ”Since when does my weight eat your family’s rice? What are you staring at me for?”

”Is it you letting the fierce beasts do such a thing?”

”Do what?”

”Drink Frenzy Potion, play dirty.”

”Who is it?”

”Fierce Beast.”

”What’s wrong?”

”...”

Cheng Zhan, irritated, rubbed his head, ”There’s no outsiders here, don’t be so cautious between us?”

”Certainly, there’s no need...” Ruble put down the tickets in his hand, replaced them with a new stack, ”What did you just say?”

With an oily, salt-resistant demeanor, Cheng Zhan nearly flipped the table in anger.

”Don’t get excited, doesn’t his foolishness make you look less conspicuous soon enough.”

Ruble finally stopped pretending, letting out a sigh.

”Not just him, is it?”

”Of course, and that cat demon bitch, took my money and didn’t handle things, bound to be killed sooner or later! Actually, there were more afterwards, but you skipped over them, all my money was wasted, wasted!”

Originally steady as a mountain, Ruble suddenly went berserk, like a bouncing meat ball, nearly jumped onto the table.

Dragon Gate paused in silence, ”What does that have to do with your weight gain?”

Ruble hesitated for a moment, then resumed counting the tickets furiously, his fat quivering, muttering through gritted teeth, ”Lost too much, I have to eat it back...”

”Hahaha...”

Cheng Zhan no longer affected his old friend’s mood, laughing as he exited the room.
