Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 112 Exoskeleton Device

Through the scope, I saw Yu Yue calmly pulling the bolt.

Su Huan suddenly felt that the dual-core design was pretty good.

I listened to the scattered gunshots from both sides.

"You called those two too?"

"……Yes."

You could clearly feel the smooth sniping rhythm pause for a moment.

Just then, the entire logistics center's broadcast system blared, and Yu Jing's clear and calm voice rang out in the storage area, the equipment station, and even the corridors.

"Su Huan, the remaining two Slaughterers are heading towards your position. The sound can no longer confuse them. There are also five hundred ordinary zombies converging on your location. Lu Xiao's team is at the exit on your left, and Jiang Rong's team is at the equipment post. I suggest you retreat from the left."

The approaching zombie paused for a moment, as if trying to identify the source of the sound. After a while, it slowly moved towards the corner where Su Huan was.

The second-tier killer in front of him was pinned to the ground by three high-explosive armor-piercing rounds fired by Yu Yue.

Su Huan took a deep breath and stood up.

That's the downside of fighting outside a vehicle; after the battle, there's always a lot of cleanup to do.

Yu Yue's gentle and melodious voice also appeared in my ears, "Two D-level teams are in position. Please give the order, train conductor."

Su Huan put away his sniper rifle; every bit of energy saved was important at a time like this. "Let's gather everyone's voices together and transmit them to everyone's ears."

"it is good."

Immediately afterwards, Su Huan felt as if another world had appeared in his ears.

The footsteps of Jiang Rong and her team members, the click of the mechanical clip when Lao San changed the magazine, the whispers of Yu Jing and Professor Ma discussing exoskeleton modifications inside the digital center, and even the positions, footsteps, breaths, and sticky eyes of Lu Xiao and Miao Qi, the two adulterers, all seemed to be vividly presented in his mind.

The sounds weren't simply superimposed; they appeared in his ears in layers and with a sense of space.

He was like an unrestricted eavesdropper.

He can observe these desired sounds from any angle, freely zooming in or out. For example, He Jie, who is deeply embedded in the cargo, has heavy breathing sounds, with watery sloshing around, as if his lungs are damaged.

If he zoomed out a little, he could hear Xiao Zhao's pounding heart and her swallowing hard, trying to stay calm, her fingertips turning white as she gripped the edge of the shelf.

With a sense of wonder, as if opening the door to a new world, Su Huan asked, "This is your world?"

"Oh, you heard that? It's like this."

She doesn't seem to understand.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Huan's eyes. He quickly climbed over the piles of goods around him. "Your abilities have evolved again?"

"Yes, just now, when I was thinking about how to integrate and distribute the audio to you, I suddenly gained another ability."

Yu Yue explained obediently.

Su Huan raised an eyebrow, surprised that the little cook had Doraemon's talent.

Give what you want.

Go back and study it carefully, see if you can squeeze something else out of that soft body.

"Each unit reports on ammunition inventory."

The people around hesitated for a moment, perhaps because it was the first time they had experienced such a holistic auditory experience.

Yu Yue was the first to speak, "Sniper Yu Yue, 42 sniper rounds remaining."

"Logistics Yu Jing, 1 basic load of 7.62 standard ammunition."

"Assault soldier Zhang Kai, 1 round of 5.56 standard ammunition."

"Third-ranking gunner, two 7.62 standard ammunition belts, 200 rounds each."

"Assault soldier number two, 7.62 standard ammunition, two magazines, 120 rounds each; 9mm pistol ammunition, 60 rounds."

"Secondary firepower leader, three magazines of 5.56 standard ammunition, 90 rounds each, and one basic load of 9mm pistol ammunition."

"D-level squad, Jiang Rong, 24 rounds of 5.56 standard ammunition, 45 rounds of 9mm pistol ammunition"

"D-level squad member Lu Xiao, approximately one standard load of 7.62mm ammunition, and 20 rounds of 9mm pistol ammunition."

Listening to the reports from various departments, Su Huan frowned. The number of bullets was too small, not even as many as the total number of zombies.

Where is Liang Kuan?

"He's still fighting."

Suddenly, everyone heard Liang Kuan's heavy breathing, followed by a hysterical roar. In an instant, everyone felt as if they were in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, their blood boiling, until Yu Yue cut off the sound from Liang Kuan's side.

Hearing that the guy was still full of energy, Su Huan felt relieved and looked down at the miserable He Jie at his feet.

The man was lying shirtless on a pile of goods, and the rice sack beneath him had been smashed open, sending white rice grains mixed with blood and foam flying everywhere.

A horrifying bruise now ran across his strong pectoral muscles, and his once broad sternum was deformed.

"Tsk tsk, really sturdy. Should I help you up?"

He Jie rolled his eyes. "Don't look at my crotch with that damn eye of yours. I'll pull it out and scare you to death!"

"Is it?"

You're laughing!

"You're wrong."

"His smile was malicious."

Su Huan tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth.

"now what?"

"Don't hold it in, it'll make you look even more sleazy."

Su Huan smiled and offered a helping hand, pulling He Jie to sit up. The latter gasped in pain.

"I think I broke two ribs, damn it!"

"It's alright, I have a miracle doctor in my car."

"That's just an intern. His first aid skills aren't even as good as mine. But putting that aside, working with you is actually quite good. If the power provider in my team had been this strong, I would never have let him lead the team to fight the train."

Su Huan smiled and didn't discourage him.

Before a power provider advances to the next level, they are really useless and can only bully ordinary people.

But which field's evolvers can't bully ordinary people?

The power provider's early combat strength is not much different from that of the manufacturer.

The inability to use the high-temperature bullet is a supermodel's ability, requiring years of accumulated experience in its control.

Controlling electric current also requires a medium, either steel or rainwater, otherwise the output distance is approximately zero.

Even if you advance to the next tier, if you don't have skills like high-energy compression and energy shaping, you still won't have any attack methods. Using electromagnetic power to flick a coin is already considered an outstanding output.

Lightning is indeed powerful, but who among these beasts, including He Jie, isn't resistant to electricity?
After he reached the first tier, his electric spear could pierce through the air.

Definitely high voltage.

In the end, all they suffered was a muscle spasm.

"What's next?" He Jie asked.

Su Huan glanced at the surging zombies and rubbed his chin. "Connect him to our channel too."

Seeing Su Huan talking to himself, He Jie was stunned for a moment, then realized that there was a voice manipulator in the other team.

But when the 3D surround sound appeared in his ears, He Jie's expression changed instantly.

Her gaze toward Su Huan was filled with shock mixed with jealousy that made her want to strangle him.

"How did you find such great team members?"

"Just dig it up yourself."

……

With the combined audio and surveillance capabilities of Yu Yue and her daughter, Su Huan successfully escaped the storage area and stole two small, power-assisted exoskeletons, weighing a total of 20kg but capable of providing about 90kg of force when a person lifts heavy objects.

There are some better ones nearby, but they are obviously more difficult to activate.

But given the current crisis, we can only discuss this later.

Then the third brother, wearing an exoskeleton, returned to the logistics center half an hour later with several boxes of ammunition.

Two 12.7mm logging machines were set up in front of the gate, and three light machine guns filled the gaps. Once the gate was opened, the venting lasted a full 20 minutes.

All five hundred-plus zombies were killed.

Everyone, including Lu Xiao's team, fired at least one burst of bullets to satisfy their cravings.

The entire logistics center was opened to Su Huan, and the move took four days.

Of course, the train conductor doesn't need to do this kind of rough work himself.

But the train conductor didn't do nothing either.

January 30nd, no rain.

"To say goodbye to the past, relax, and also help Yu Yue adapt to her new abilities."

……

January 31nd, no rain.

"To celebrate the first full month before the apocalypse, let's help Yu Yue relax."

……

January 1nd, no rain.

"The little cook is dressed very well today, oh dear."

……

January 2nd, no rain.

"The Steel Council seems to have started its new city plan; it'll probably take at least half a month."

"No reason, just poke!"

……

January 3th, light rain.

"There are so many supplies at the logistics center, it looks like we need to add two more train cars."

Su Huan closed the logbook and looked at Yu Yue, who was kneeling beside him with her back to him. He felt that he had lived a very fulfilling life.

The material collection plan exceeded expectations, the train upgrade plan is progressing smoothly, and the old employer is also working hard to advance the new city plan.

Furthermore, they gained thirteen high-level talents in the field of electronics, including Professor Ma and his students.

The worst performers were all graduate students, and more than half of them were doctoral students.

Thinking of the eight hundred people who had turned into zombies, Su Huan felt even more regretful.

However, he cares more about what he actually eats.

After learning about the impact of ubiquitous energy on information dissemination, Professor Ma became very interested and led a group of students to study the combination of evolution, ubiquitous energy, and electrons. They have already started a vigorous research project in the train carriages belonging to the crew.

Su Huan was very satisfied with this. Professor Ma's status was elevated to the core level, and various supplies were provided as needed, including the Pan-Energy Crystal.

The so-called "on-demand provision" means that you can persuade the train conductor to give you whatever you want.

However, other students did not receive this treatment and could only receive supplies as part of the flight crew.

Two days ago, Yu Yue used a skill potion again and gained level 1 "Ballistic Calculation". With this skill, she now has four abilities including "Sound Affinity", "Shared Sound Field" and "Sniper Specialization".

It has one more skill than Su Huan.

However, as long as they can be combined into a class, a four-skill class is likely to be stronger than a three-skill class.

In his past life, he had not only seen professions with four skills, but even professions with five skills.

They're incredibly strong even at the first tier.

The problem is that it's very difficult to advance to the second tier.

The Steel Council's internal database once included a similar profession, which was also a profession that combined sonic wave manipulation with firearms. The first tier was "Sonic Wave Catcher," and the second tier was "Silent Hunter." This is a typical Wilderness lineage.

However, judging from the potential Yu Yue has shown recently, it would be a bit of a waste for her to just be his little cook.

Feeling the warm hand on her back, Yu Yue squeezed out a soft moan through her teeth.

"Why... is it so strange?"

Su Huan swayed her voluptuous waist, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"Sit up straight. You are reporting to your superior right now."

Yu Yue felt that she had been living a very busy life these past two days, and her bright almond-shaped eyes were slightly dazed. "What...work?"

"Have the harvest statistics from the logistics center been released yet?"

“The statistics were taken when it was brought up. The exoskeleton devices that you are most concerned about almost filled up carriage number 10.”

"more specific."

Su Huan pinched her soft flesh in dissatisfaction.

"Hmm... twenty lightweight assisted exoskeletons, whose only function is to move heavy objects; twenty enhanced assisted exoskeletons, which can carry 100kg, all with titanium alloy frames, fully electric, and also have a robotic arm that can pick up some dangerous goods or..."

"Two enhanced functional exoskeletons have been added. In addition to the previous ones, they have various commonly used tools and two more mechanical arms. They can carry 150kg of weight, climb at heights, and adapt to sloping terrain."

"Five industrial-grade exoskeletons, each with a load-bearing capacity of 300kg, are equipped with basic AI that can match gait and action logic, reducing physical exertion."

Su Huan circled her neck, leaned close to her rounded ear, and gently kissed it, asking, "How much will it reduce the energy expenditure of movement? Will it make movement faster?"

The woman shivered, pouted, and said with a hint of grievance, "How would I know? The specific parameters would require..."

"Get what?"

"Ask Xiao Jing."

"hiss……"

Mentioning one's daughter at such times can always make a woman feel a little embarrassed.

This forced Su Huan to surrender even faster.

Yu Yue stood up, dressed, and ran off like a rabbit.

Su Huan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the messy room. His aunt wouldn't even help him clean up anymore; she was really getting more and more demanding.

I got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The sky was already bright, and a light drizzle was falling.

If it weren't for the faint metallic smell, it would have been a truly wonderful morning.

The first few carriages have been completely replaced with new bulletproof glass, and the walls of the dining car have undergone the second phase of renovation.

Tests have shown that it can even withstand 14.5mm armor-piercing rounds.

The principle is not complicated; it simply utilizes the material property of using softness to overcome hardness.

Simply put, it means shooting into the water.

Glass, which melts at high temperatures, is much denser than water.

But it's not truly impossible to break through the defense. As long as you have enough bullets, you can repeatedly fire at one spot, which is equivalent to blasting all the water in the pool and then filling the pool with bullet heads.

Carriage number 6 was crammed full of all sorts of supplies, and even though everyone had been indulging in excessive eating lately, they couldn't consume a single bit of them.

Carriage number 7 is filled with colorful plants; the newly grown stems and leaves of the "Fertile Heart" plant are still wriggling on the ground.

Huang Hai was busy experimenting with which type of creature, zombies or evolved beasts, was more suitable for composting, with his butt sticking out.

After Professor Ma and the others got on the bus, he felt a sense of crisis again.

Then it inexplicably rolled up.

Yellow Sea Status -1
Upon arriving at carriage number 10, Yu Jing sat in the center of a pile of parts, surrounded by disassembled exoskeletons.

If it weren't for the fact that she's been spending more time in the work carriage than in her room lately...

Su Huan didn't have many opportunities to relax either.

After all, we also need to consider the feelings of the young cook.

But in this case...

Su Huan looked at Yu Jing, a mischievous glint suddenly appearing in his eyes.

'Is she going to call me...?'
