Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 10 Evolvers

This was not only said to Wan Xing, but also to everyone in the carriage.

Qi Xiaoba, sitting next to him, showed no unusual expression.

Although he felt that Su Huan was not as simple as he appeared.

However, one should know how to repay kindness.

Wan Xing paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Okay."

Su Huan then smiled with satisfaction.

He likes obedient girls.

The team building progress has far exceeded his expectations.

An unintentional flapping of wings changed many things.

……

The long steel train groaned softly on the tracks, the last vestiges of twilight crushed beneath its wheels.

The armed train quietly departed from Wen'an City, heading towards a steel plant thirty kilometers away.

The tin-encased headlights, like melted sugar cubes, cast a warm yellow glow on the rusty, blood-stained car windows.
Su Huan's pen moved swiftly across the notebook, ticking off the lines "railway repair" and "material collection".

These are some of the key conditions for armed trains that he had previously listed.

Closing the notebook and gazing at the deepening darkness outside the window, Su Huan abruptly drew the curtains shut.

In the darkness, anything that glows is either prey or bait.

Yu Yue was using a steel fork to flip the luncheon meat in the frying pan, the oil sizzling and popping.

Qi Xiaoba asked quietly from the side, "Sister Xingzi, is your hand better?"

Seeing the worry in Xiao Ba's eyes, Wan Xing remembered that her arm had been bitten by a zombie earlier.

Rolling up her sleeve, a thin scar was visible on her fair forearm, with faint teeth marks almost hidden in the scab.

"It's healed so quickly. It seems that evolution promotes cell growth," Yu Jing exclaimed in surprise.

"Evolution will enhance the physical qualities of the evolved one in all aspects, but physical enhancement is the domain of the defenders, not the gatherer's.

As Su Huan spoke, he unceremoniously picked up a piece of sizzling luncheon meat from the pot and put it in his mouth.

As the aroma of meat mingled with just the right amount of salt swirled in his mouth, Su Huan felt his energy recovery speed increase by three points.

"Data collector...you just mentioned visual analysis, didn't you?"

Yu Jing seemed to be deep in thought.

“To be more precise, it’s level 1 visual analysis. Wan Xing, tell me your thoughts,” Su Huan said.

The reflection in Wan Xing's eyes disappeared again, revealing a stark black and white colorless state, giving it a blank look. She pondered for a moment and said...

"When energy floods into my eyes, the world turns a dark gray, and then some points of light appear, but I can't touch most of them right now."

"That's because you haven't learned 'Advanced Disassembly' yet. Once you learn that skill, you'll be able to disassemble most common objects."

"Is it a skill?"

"You can understand it this way: evolved individuals can develop their own skills through special methods, and then form a profession through different skill combinations."

Su Huan seemed to suddenly remember something and tapped his forehead with two fingers.

"Yu Jing, go and tell Liang Kuan to find a place to park the car and prepare to spend the night. Also, bring over that bloodhound carcass."

"it is good."

Ten minutes later, the train entered an unnamed small tunnel.

With a slight tremor, the train came to a stop.

Liang Kuan also emerged from the front of the car.

"Just get it to carriage number 2."

Liang Kuan responded and soon came over carrying the blood-soaked dog.

Su Huan had already instructed several people to lay a plastic sheet on the carpet in the sightseeing carriage.

"boom!"

Liang Kuan threw the bloodhound out, causing the carriage to shudder slightly. Yu Jing quickly estimated its size and was secretly astonished; the bloodhound didn't look big, but its weight was comparable to that of a lean domestic pig.

Wan Xing, who was standing to the side, looked at the corpse on the ground and suddenly exclaimed softly, "I think I can touch this point of light."

"Then give it a try."

Su Huan pondered to himself.

With the presence of decomposers in the team, the speed of evolution will definitely increase significantly.

Some corresponding plans can also be accelerated or implemented simultaneously.

Twenty minutes later.

Everyone looked curiously at the transparent crystal, about the size of a fingernail, in Wan Xing's hand.

"This is the universal energy crystal. Cultivating with it is faster than contacting zombies, and it's also safer. You can extract about half the size of this from these unevolved zombies outside, which are in their embryonic stage," Su Huan explained.

"Collector... so that's what it means, the ability to collect the general energy from other organisms." Yu Jing suddenly realized.

Su Huan stretched and said, "There are five types of Evolvers, and there are already three of them here."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Qi Xiaoba simply said, "I can manipulate metal, but I don't know what type."

“The Manipulator,” Su Huan said calmly.

"The five categories are: energy providers, operators, collectors, manufacturers, and defenders."

Su Huan ignored the complicated looks in their eyes and continued speaking.

"The defining characteristic of an energy supplier is that it generates energy and then converts it into various forms of energy to power machinery and electronics."

"The Collector's special ability allows them to extract the general energy from zombies, plants, or mutated beasts into easily portable and absorbable crystals, and they can also collect some unique materials found in the apocalypse."

"A manipulator can manipulate a certain element. For example, a metal manipulator can control metal."

"The manufacturer can use the body's general energy to erode matter, altering its physical properties and making subtle adjustments."

"The Defender's 'Combat Factor' can rapidly advance its abilities through combat."

"Each type of evolver has unique traits, even after multiple advancements."

Fearing they wouldn't understand, Su Huan only gave a general overview of the categories of evolved beings.

In fact, there is much more information about evolved beings than this. The professional potions, training methods, and evolutionary paths developed by different factions are intricate and complex.

There are dozens of routes that Su Huan has heard of.

Any piece of information could potentially create a top-tier expert, but those are Su Huan's precious assets, so he naturally cannot reveal them casually.

'I should take some time to jot down the time and see if I can capture a couple of opportunities.'

A thoughtful look appeared in Su Huan's eyes.

"What are we going to do next?"

Qi Xiaoba suddenly asked.

Do you want to ask about long-term goals or current goals?

"All."

"The long-term goal is to arm our mobile fortress, escape the high-temperature zone, and head north. You saw it during the day; those beasts are not something we can kill with our bare hands. Even evolved beings need time to develop... As for short-term goals, we eat and sleep. What about you?"

Su Huan countered with a question.

A hint of confusion, befitting his age, finally appeared on the boy's usually calm face. "The director is dead, the orphanage is gone, I didn't know."

"Then do you believe me?"

Su Huan suppressed his smile and asked seriously in return.

Looking into Su Huan's cold eyes, Qi Xiaoba's instincts told him that he was not a good person.

But the leader has said it.

As human beings, we should be grateful and repay kindness, and even more importantly, we should keep our word.

"I believe you."
