Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 104 It’s rude to not reciprocate!
Various evolved beasts emerged from the grass and behind the buildings.

They leaped over the three- or four-meter-high iron gate, and a bunch of green eyes, some hairy and some unkempt, big and small, running and jumping, stared at the convoy!
It was as if they had their eyes on the most delicious food.

The corporal in the driver's seat turned pale and slammed the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve and smash a dinosaur cat into the side. He didn't have time to finish it off and slammed on the gas.

Zhang Tie, in the passenger seat, also realized what had happened and slammed his fist on the center console. "Damn it, we've been tricked!"

After saying that, he picked up his assault rifle and fired directly at an evolved beast outside the window.

The bullets passed through the car window without any obstruction, carving three bloody holes in the evolved beast's forehead.

The rhythmic "tap tap tap" sound rang out.

Even in such a swaying vehicle, Zhang Tie did not miss a single shot.

If the first shot goes slightly astray, the next two shots will quickly correct it.

"There's definitely something wrong with that bone!"

Zhang Tie didn't forget to take a moment to say something.

Li Tao adjusted his glasses. "But no matter what it got into, we have to take that bone back with us. The auxiliary soldiers behind us will buy us some time and signal the helicopter to get reinforcements to meet us."

Zhang Min, who was standing to the side, relaxed considerably upon hearing this.

But she still dared not make a sound. If she were in the Mojiang caravan, the woman would likely be thrown off to attract the evolved beasts.

Even for others, it's up to them to pray for good fortune.

Several infantry transport vehicles behind them suddenly swerved sideways and came to a stop, forming a steel trench.

The soldiers rushed out of the vehicle and began to fight off the herd of beasts.

The barrage of firepower instantly suppressed the horde of evolved beasts. Hidden within the horde, first-tier evolved beasts began to attack from all directions, and the firepower defense line began to crumble.

Fear and blood gushed out at the same time.

The defense line completely collapsed.

They only gained about forty or fifty seconds.

But that was enough for the off-road vehicle in front to get out of danger.

……

"How much evolution beast inducer is left?"

"Two drops."

"Keep it sealed and stored properly."

"By the way, how did you know they were planning to sabotage us?"

Yu Jing asked curiously.

Su Huan looked at her strangely, "I'm not a mind reader, how would I know? But I didn't have any good intentions either."

Everyone's face twitched simultaneously.

Su Huan's directness and frankness always caught them off guard.

The third brother looked completely bewildered. Had he really been through so much?

When was the medication administered?

Yu Jing pinched her chin. "When he mentioned 'teammates,' do you remember that interesting nickname for Evolution Beast Inducer?"

"Damn, every teammate has one?"

Xiao Ba suddenly realized.

"Yes, when has Su Huan ever called us teammates?"

He Jie glanced at Su Huan, then at Yu Jing, feeling a pang of unease. These cunning people were terrifying.

You never know when they'll start setting a trap for you.

"So what's going on here?"

The third brother asked again.

"Then we'll have to ask Captain He," Su Huan said, passing the buck to him.

He Jie looked at the horde of zombies pouring out of the city, his face grim. "The zombie attractant was developed some time ago. It can quickly attract zombies from a radius of one kilometer to gather and be used to quickly clear them out. But judging from this scale, it seems that there has been a new breakthrough. I'm not sure about the exact range it can attract."

Su Huan remained calm and composed.

The armed train has completed its first phase, and ordinary zombie hordes are no longer a threat.

Only a zombie horde composed entirely of Tier 1 zombies could possibly contain a steel dragon weighing over 8,000 tons.

"Third brother, get ready to practice shooting. Call that Defender Zhang Kai from the flight crew too. Yu Jing, bring me the gene serum."

Su Huan gave the instructions.

The third brother immediately went to call for help and started shooting out of the car window.

The number of zombies around them gradually increased, crashing into the train one after another. At this density, there was no need to worry about missing.

However, the shooting skills of these men were truly appalling. He Jie, watching from the side, frowned and sarcastically remarked, "Giving them a few guns is not as good as giving them a few sticks to burn."

Su Huan took the gene serum, glanced at him, and said, "If you don't like it, you can go up and give him some pointers."

He Jie scoffed, "You're making me do the work before I've even joined the team?"

Su Huan did not respond, but that was what he thought.

There is a fundamental difference between professionally trained soldiers and ordinary gun enthusiasts.

Moreover, He Jie is an elite soldier.

Although he knew a little about shooting, it was completely untrained, so he never gave Yu Yue and the others any pointers on the details of shooting; he only talked about general basics. He couldn't explain it clearly even if he talked about it more.

He plans to train his third brother and the others to specialize in firearms, so he can only urge them to practice more.

Anyway, they are defenders, they have "fighting genes", their muscles will understand the secrets of fighting before their brains do.

The only downside is that it wastes ammunition.

But right now, what he has in abundance is ammunition.

Su Huan held the gene serum up to Wan Xing's eyes, "Can you tell the difference?"

The light in Wan Xing's eyes vanished instantly, as if she had lost her spirit, and she let out a soft, puzzled exclamation.

“Very dense light spots, similar to the light spots of the universal energy source, but with differences. They seem to be fighting... no, they should be moving in a regular pattern, a very beautiful rhythm.”

"Remember this feeling; this is what a normal skill potion is like."

After a pause, Su Huan changed the reagent again. "The first-tier 'Precision Shooter' of the Defender's Domain has two sub-skills, so two of these are skill potions: one is 'Sniper Specialization,' and the other is 'Ballistics Calculation.' The other is a gene fusion potion, used to stimulate genes to achieve the advancement effect."

Yu Jing, who was standing nearby, suddenly interjected and asked, "Can the Defender's skills be used in other fields as well?"

"Of course, skills from different fields are fine, as long as they don't conflict. For example, the Defender has a 'Touch Amplification' and a 'Pain Desensitization'. If both abilities were awakened at the same time, hehe..."

Su Huan couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

In his past life, there was a fool who thought he would have both a keen sense of touch and the ability to not feel pain. As a result, he grew two layers of skin: the outer layer was dull in its senses, and the inner layer was afraid of pain.

As a result, he couldn't sense anything. If he was accidentally attacked, or even if his toes were stepped on, the intense pain would make him cry like a baby!
This is an example of evolution failing.

Of course, he was lucky; there were many others whose genes collapsed and mutated directly into zombies.

"So as long as the abilities don't conflict, it's fine?" Yu Jing frowned. "But how can we guarantee that the evolved abilities won't clash?"

Su Huan's expression was strange. "The abilities you evolve normally will not clash, just like your left brain will not think of evolving a fist to hit your right brain."

"Just don't use skill potions recklessly. Besides, there's no benefit to using skills across domains. Skills you don't need will not only take up space, but also consume your evolution potential, just like that gunner who evolved to enhance his sense of smell."

"What truly distinguishes a domain is your primary skill. For example, my universal energy conversion and your universal energy erosion are unique characteristics of each domain..."

But not necessarily.

Su Huan paused at this point, clearly thinking of something.

In his previous life, he had evolved the "combat factor" of the defender. Before he could get excited about becoming a dual-class powerhouse, the unpleasant thing that happened later occurred.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to evolve the core skills of the Defender in this lifetime.

The loud roar interrupted Su Huan's thoughts.

It turned out that a butcher had swung a telephone pole at a moving train, but the train didn't even shake, and the telephone pole was bounced away.

The butcher stared at his severed hands, a human-like blankness appearing on his fat face.

Enraged, it clasped its arms together, picked up a skull-crusher next to it, and rushed onto the train.

The skullcutter who was saved howled in pain, unsure whether to attack the train first or the skullcutter first.

The raging train was like a meat grinder, rapidly consuming the skullcrusher and the butcher until their flesh and blood disintegrated, at which point it collapsed with a deafening roar.

Su Huan snapped out of his daze and handed the skill potion representing "Sniper Specialization" to Yu Yue.

"Let's go back to our room and absorb this first."

Yu Yue had witnessed the entire transaction and knew how precious the potion was.

She had considered that the medicine might be for her own use, but when Su Huanzhen gave it to her, she became conflicted.

The two little Yu Yues started fighting in their minds again.

"No! It's just a little treat. Are you really willing to give up your dignity for that?"

"Maybe you're overthinking it. The train conductor is just thinking about the team."

"If you take the things this time, will you still have a reason to fight back when he bullies you again?"

"...But, but I couldn't refuse in the first place."

"Pah, you're despicable! You clearly want to give it to him!"

"No, no, he insisted on it..."

Seeing Su Huan frown, Yu Jing knew that her mother was struggling with something again. She took the money from her and pulled the woman's arm towards the carriage.

"You guys go ahead with your work, I'll go watch her absorb it."

Su Huan withdrew his gaze and handed the remaining two vials of medicine to Wan Xing, saying, "It's still a long way before you can absorb the next one, so you can keep these two for now."

"it is good."

Wan Xing took the medicine and walked towards carriage number 3.

She spent most of her time with the corpse, except for eating and sleeping.

Most people would have been incredibly repressed by now, but she seemed quite at ease.

"Where shall we go next?"

He Jie's tone carried a hint of probing.

He was afraid that Su Huan wouldn't care about his wife and daughter, so he drove off.

Su Huan looked out the car window at the horde of corpses and calmly asked, "Where do you think the Steel Council least wants us to be right now?"

"Where did it appear, at headquarters?" He Jie asked after a moment of confusion.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he blurted out, "New City!"
