Armed Train in the Apocalypse

The latter crossed his arms, looking at Su Huan with suspicion in his eyes; his own father was a powerful train conductor, how could he be this man with longer hair than mom’s?

”Your name is Su Yi?”

Su Huan squatted down, looking at the little boy in front of him who had a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to himself, his gaze subtle.

The flutter in his heart came from the sight of the three children before him.

The three little ones were like three separate fingers of his own hand, sensing each other’s presence but unable to control them.

Is this what it feels like to be connected by bloodline?

Su Yi nodded defiantly.

Su Huan turned to the other two; Yu Yue had just introduced their names to him.

”You’re Su Yan, and you... are Su Li?”

Su Huan’s feelings were even stranger; if he hadn’t repeatedly confirmed with Yu Yao that only he would carry a tiny bit of memory when reborn, he’d truly think Yu Yue was pulling his leg, naming them exactly like his past selves.

The two little ones also nodded.

Although they were still very young, one could already tell their differences.

Su Yi was masculine and outgoing, somewhat like how he was before being reborn. Su Yan was completely a gender-swapped version of the current Su Yi, not very talkative. Su Li had a face like the mother, Yu Jing, but those eyes were very much like Su Huan’s, slender and long, yet with a somewhat introverted personality.

Looking at the three mini versions of himself, Su Huan felt it was marvelous.

In one of his past lives, he was a father; even in this life, he had adopted Su Han and interacted with many children, but having three of his own felt truly different.

He suppressed the urge to poke the three little ones like small figurines, listening to Su Yi ask, ”Can you defeat the Evolution Beasts outside?”

Su Huan recalled that there were still some small troubles outside.

Smiling with squinted eyes, ”Those few guys aren’t even worth a breath of mine.”

”Bragging.” Su Yi’s face immediately showed a bit of disappointment, ”Even Brother Xiaoba can’t handle that many Evolution Beasts at once.”

”Want to make a bet?”

”Su Huan!” Yu Yue looked at Su Huan, who still had the mood to tease the children, and was a bit anxious.

Su Huan turned his head, the cold light in his eyes avoided the children, and he warmly said, ”Don’t worry, they dare not run.”

”Bet what?”

”We’ll talk about the stakes later.”

Su Huan picked up the two little ones, tossing them onto his left and right shoulders, then placed Su Yi on his neck, and strode out.

Facing the crowd with either anticipation, awe, or curiosity in their eyes, Su Huan waved his hand with a light smile, ”Thanks for the hard work, but I’ll have to trouble everyone to clean up the battlefield later.”

Then, with the three little ones, he leaped over to Xiaoba’s side.

Looking at the Wolf King trapped in the density cage, Su Huan’s eyes shone, ”This fur is nice, could make some good pelts.”

The Wolf King in the cage stared intensely at Su Huan, baring its teeth menacingly.

Xiaoba was startled when he saw Su Huan bringing the three little ones up, but relaxed only after discovering they showed no discomfort under the cold and the pressure of the Wolf King. He said seriously, ”I still don’t understand this guy’s Rule, just temporarily trapped him. After driving off the Tiger, let’s join forces...”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Su Huan place a hand on the density cage.

Xiaoba hadn’t reacted to what happened yet, but he felt his [Metal] Rule was suppressed, and then came a crisp crack.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Su Huan crushed the cage that could confine a Tier Four with a single hand, while the Wolf King’s eyes turned pitch black, gnarling furiously, ignorant that Su Huan’s hand had already fallen on its head.

”Boom!”

Like the sound of a fully drawn bowstring, breaking; the lord of the snowy plains, the pet of the mountains, this Tier Four lord Wolf King perished quietly, with the two sounds following one another in less than a second, even Xiaoba standing nearby didn’t react.

The massive wolf corpse, losing its support, fell freely to the ground with a roar.

Below, Huayang swallowed, ”Isn’t the train conductor’s power energy-based? What kind of technique is this?”

Su Han tilted his head up proudly, ”Do you think you can know father’s methods?”

The winds and snow, which had paused, enveloped again as if the entire snowy expanse mourned the departure of this Tier Four king, wailing across the lands.

But only for a brief moment as Su Huan frowned, night turned to day, dark blue and pitch black shimmered, snow and wind utterly vanished, and the kaleidoscopic instant led the onlookers to believe they hallucinated.

Su Yi rubbed his eyes vigorously, incredulously looking at the wolf corpse below, truly dead!

”Hold tight, next one’s coming.” Su Huan arrived in front of the raised snow pile, ”Quite a long snake, can make armor for you.”

Upon saying this, he lightly stomped down, and the giant creature in the snow seemed to suffer a heavy blow, thrashing about desperately, but no matter how it struggled, couldn’t breach the snow. Originally soft, snowy terrain, enjoyable for the Ice Viper King, weighed like a mountain until death.

For a moment, the earth shook, yet no phenomena emerged; again, a king of the snowy plains fell.

And Su Huan, just talking and laughing with the little ones, reached the head of the Gorilla King, with an inscrutable method, causing the Tier Four Gorilla to seemingly understand its fate, falling abruptly without a struggle.

With each snowy realm leader’s death, their subordinate tribes followed silently into demise, without a sign, languishing onto the ground, only a few mother beasts and cubs fled, tails tucked pitifully.

Those present had grown numb; they had thought, over three years, they had progressed considerably, certain forces even boasting top Tier Four Evolver, still dreading the train conductor’s presence, yet more a fear of the unknown.

But the discovery today was that no matter how much time spent, the train conductor remained the train conductor.

And they remained as easily slaughtered rookies.

Fu Lanshan had long discarded his initial amazement, sorting out excuses.

Nominally, their Deep Blue Data was still there to assist, albeit somewhat hypocritical, unlikely to incur enmity.

While everyone harbored different thoughts.

Su Huan arrived at the Tiger King’s head.

Before he could make a move, the latter stood upright, its tail rigid as a steel whip, waving its two massive tiger paws comically, spewing human words from its maw, ”Grandpa, have mercy, grandpa have mercy!”

”A tiger can talk?!”

Little Su Yi was greatly amazed.

Su Huan was also momentarily taken aback, this tiger’s Changbai dialect was quite authentic!

”Did you learn that yourself or from someone else?”

The Tiger King tried to squeeze out an ingratiating smile, which only made its face more gruesome, ”I used to hear but didn’t understand, later, my intellect expanded, and I mysteriously comprehended!”

”Can the others talk too?”

”That old wolf was awfully proud; even if he knew he couldn’t beat you, he wouldn’t utter a plea. It might’ve been part of his ability. That dead snake, you didn’t give it a chance to speak!”

The Tiger King’s voice was neither male nor female, resembling a gale over the mountains, with an eerie howl.

Su Huan squinted; since it could speak, many things would be simpler.

”Why did you appear here?”

The Tiger King flicked its tiny ears, grumbling, ”We always wanted to catch you all in one fell swoop but never had the chance. Occasionally, the kid who juggled metal passed, couldn’t catch him. This time you had a good time romping on the snowy plains, we found our chance. But before making significant moves, grandpa, here you are...”

No anticipated complex schemes, Su Huan felt somewhat relieved.

But that didn’t mean he’d spare the tiger before him.

When he had left, Tier Four resources were sparse, at most, one dreadfiend, who could have guessed upon returning, Tier Fours sprouted plentifully, like the tiger now; dismantling it might nurture two or three Tier Fours, each Tier Four being an ace in the future war.

His slender eyes narrowed to slits, his tone calm.

”So, why should I spare you?”
