Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 938: Chapter 526: Striving for Heaven’s Restoration (Final)

The Wind Snow Zone was exceptionally free of snowfall, and even the incessant howling wind had ceased.

A behemoth moved slowly through the ground and air, crossing the battlefield where four large beast clans were annihilated, and arrived above an unremarkable village. This area was barely a village, with no surrounding buildings, just a few solitary houses and an energy tower.

About a hundred meters away, the behemoth emitted a deep whale sound.

The segments of its body slightly spread apart, pushing the turtle shell at the end further away. This behemoth was the Armed Train leaving the Eastern line battlefield.

Previously, there were many reasons not to come here, but the Armed Train’s location change had only one reason—the train conductor was here.

The small houses below were covered with a thin layer of snow, piled on the eaves, making the whole house plump like a cream cake.

A man in a single layer of clothes, holding a shovel, carved the snow into squares. A few ant-like children then pushed the snow bricks to the other side, adding bricks to the unfinished snow house.

Su Huan inserted the shovel into the snow, clapping his hands, “Han, keep an eye on them.”

Su Han stood under the eaves nearby, and although not wearing a military uniform, her white windbreaker was essentially the same as an armed windbreaker. Upon hearing Su Huan’s call, she calmly responded.

Looking at this adopted daughter whose officer-like authority outshone her girlish charm, Su Huan flicked his fingers, causing her forehead to thump with an air bullet.

Su Han watched her meticulously arranged hair get messed up, her porcelain white teeth clenched as she threatened, “Father, if you do this again, I’ll tell Mother!”

Su Huan rolled up his sleeves, innocently, “Letting you come out to play, why act like an ice sculpture, isn’t it boring?”

Su Han glanced at her siblings rolling around in the snow heap, thinking of her own embarrassingly snow-covered self, and the possibility of being seen by newly arrived corps colleagues or subordinates. She resolutely shook her head, “No way!”

She was one of only two commanders of the Armed Corps, didn’t she care about her reputation?

Seeing a hint of pride on the girl’s face, Su Huan felt quite sentimental; he couldn’t have imagined the little girl who once led a group of wild children would also care about her image now.

Changes in others’ timelines are often more striking than changes in one’s own.

Su Huan didn’t tease her further, turning to leap onto the train. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Hu Shuo’s refined face.

The latter respectfully bowed, “Welcome back, Train Conductor.”

But he didn’t hear Su Huan’s response for a while, and upon looking up, found a subtle and peculiar gaze fixed on him.

Hu Shuo calmly asked, “Is there something I don’t know about?”

“How could there be something Senior doesn’t know?” Su Huan grinned mischievously, “But I’m very curious, Senior, where did you hide your wife?”

Seeing Su Huan’s knowing look, the respectful air around Hu Shuo faded, and the two men broke into hearty laughter, adding a sense of familiarity instead of sorting things out.

“Welcome back, Su Li.” Hu Shuo extended a hand with heartfelt emotion.

Even the tone was much warmer than before.

Su Huan shook the other’s hand fiercely, releasing his grip only upon seeing signs of discomfort on Hu Shuo’s face, coldly sneering, “Senior, you’ve tricked me quite a bit.”

Hu Shuo shook his numbed hand helplessly, “Who knew you wouldn’t recognize me at all back then and even changed your name? I dared not speak recklessly…”

Su Huan smirked knowingly, “You were the one who informed the military in your past life, weren’t you?”

“What past life?” Hu Shuo showed a puzzled expression, “Indeed, I notified the government, did Yu Yao tell you that?”

It seemed Senior had no previous memories, so Su Huan skipped the topic of reincarnation, simply recounting his conversation with Yu Yao to check for any missing information.

Hu Shuo was surprisingly amazed, “He didn’t mention me to you, how did you guess it was me?”

Su Huan rolled his eyes, “Who else could it be? You two are roommates, one in the north, one by my side. If not you, then who? But when did you start working with the government?”

Hu Shuo chuckled silently, “You’ve finally grown smarter over the years.”

Su Huan snorted coldly. Initially, Number Three had mentioned deploying experts around him; at that time he hadn’t met Yu Yao, and after much thought, Hu Shuo seemed the most suspicious.

Shu Wei had normal management experience, having already managed a company before the apocalypse, with family support, which was reasonable.

But Hu Shuo, a translator with no management background, managed a group of five to six thousand people comprehensively right from the start?

The critical point was that he started from a grassroots management position, unlike Su Huan who still had room to slack off and pass the buck. Hu Shuo executed everything himself, but where did a translator get management experience?

Later, upon meeting Yu Yao and sorting through all memories in the third year of Eternal Night.

He finally got this logic sorted out.

Although Su Huan didn’t know the price Yu Yao had to pay for adjusting the timeline, this time, he could only adjust it to a few days before the apocalypse, and he could already guess the problem.

In these several lifetimes, Yu Yao had sealed himself in the Otherworld, and in his first life without reincarnation, Yu Yao must have arranged his friend Hu Shuo in place already. However, due to unforeseen events, Hu Shuo was trained by the government and came to Su Huan’s side to assume a “caretaker” role.

“By the way, Senior, who else knows my identity besides you?”
