Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 125 Blowing Up the Railway Tracks!

The two scrambled onto the balcony, only to feel the tremors beneath their feet growing stronger.

Suddenly, the window was flung open, and a rumbling sound that had been kept out came from afar. Three kilometers away, a savage steel behemoth was charging straight towards the railway tracks, smashing aside all the debris blocking the tracks with its horn-like front end.

Scattered zombies chased after it frantically from both sides, but none of them could get to this behemoth of steel.

All that could be left were futile bloodstains on the thick armor.

The two exchanged a glance, and were deeply moved.

I didn't expect it to come so soon after I mentioned it.

"Brother Fei, what do we do?"

Wang Fei turned and walked into the house. "Go and inform them quickly, I'll pack up."

Before the man could react and start packing, a gunshot rang out from the living room.

He was so frightened that he shuddered. He ran out and was relieved to see Wang Fei still standing there unharmed. Then he noticed the woman lying on the ground, already dead, and looked on with regret.

'She'd been taking good care of me these past two days, so why was I shot like that...'

Wang Fei could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and he opened his mouth to curse, "You spineless coward! Once we're successful, what woman won't we have? Hurry up and report, or we won't get any credit."

……

Gimjong City, Changli County, Future New Town.

The largest department store in the county center has long been converted into a military building. Various sandbags and abandoned vehicles form makeshift shelters around it, and the gates are blocked by armored vehicles with their fronts facing outwards, ensuring that they can rush out immediately in case of trouble.

At the same time, a new gate was built using the front of the car.

Inside the lobby on the first floor, various clothing and sundries were piled up in the corner, and the middle section was transformed into a temporary military camp.

Soldier attendants carrying guns patrolled the area, and various light and heavy machine guns were mounted on high points by the windows, forming a firepower network that could easily block the entire shopping mall.

Explosions could be seen intermittently from the commercial street a few hundred meters away, and the roar of helicopter cannons could be heard.

A modified off-road vehicle charged from the front line, like a ferocious wild beast.

"squeak--"

The wheels made a sharp friction with the ground.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, a tall figure darted out of the vehicle, took a step onto the ground, and with just a slight bend in the knees, offset all the inertia, transitioning into a slow walking posture.

The SUV behind him had just drifted and stopped sideways in front of the shopping mall. The sudden change from motion to stillness was outrageous, demonstrating the driver's extremely strong control over the vehicle.

"boom!"

The soldier slammed the car door shut and quickly followed the tall figure.

Without using any password, the two entered the shopping mall. Wherever they went, both vassal soldiers and regular soldiers stood up and saluted the captain of the Steel Council's A-level team.

As the commander of a hundred-man armed force, there were only two people in the entire Steel Council who were of the same rank as Zhong Cheng.

The Steel Council has only one S-class team, consisting of three hundred evolved soldiers.

Therefore, S-rank is only a nominal rank and does not have an actual commander.

They report directly to the board of directors.

After the new city was established, the concept of the apocalypse took root in people's hearts, and the Steel Council gradually reformed, with military ranks and a retinue system running in parallel.

True S-class teams only emerged when team rankings were no longer tied to the number of members.

That team consisted of only one person: Lin Jin and his two followers.

There weren't even any servants to handle miscellaneous tasks. Zhong Cheng passed through the lines of defense and came directly to a young man wearing glasses. The man's eyes were bloodshot, his exquisite suit was nowhere to be found, his white shirt was rolled up to his arm, and a pile of documents was in front of him.

This young man was one of the personnel sent by the board of directors to monitor the battlefield.

Li Tao is the nephew of Executive Director Li Wangchuan.

Before he could even get close, the other person said without looking up, "If you still propose to blow up the entire commercial plaza and surrounding residential areas all at once, I think it's better to forget about it. Not to mention me, not a single member of the board of directors agrees with your tactics."

Zhong Cheng said firmly, "But I still stick to my tactics. The entire commercial plaza and surrounding residential areas have gathered at least tens of thousands of zombies, and the number of first-level zombies even exceeds five hundred. Even if we have the firepower advantage, it will take a huge cost to clear them all."

"cost?"

Li Tao looked up from the pile of documents, adjusted his glasses, and calmly asked, "Do you know why we chose a county town instead of our existing headquarters for expansion?"

Zhong Cheng frowned. "That's not something I need to consider. I'm a soldier; I only consider the outcome of the war!"

Li Tao retorted without holding back, "So it's up to us to decide how to fight!"

"We chose Changli County because the city's existing infrastructure can save us a huge amount of manpower and resources. Moreover, what you're going to demolish isn't just a building or a structure, but the most bustling city center of the entire county!"

"It's the end of the world now, we don't have the capacity to rebuild a city."

The two men stared at each other intently, but in the end, Li Tao was the first to give up on this pointless standoff.

"How many more days until we can completely get rid of Chang Li?"

"It will take at least five more days."

"too long."

"The board gave us a 15-day deadline, and we've already given it 3 days ahead of schedule."

Li Tao lightly tapped the papers in his hand when suddenly the landline phone on the table rang.

The two men's expressions turned solemn.

Li Tao quickly answered the phone, and after listening to a couple of sentences, his expression changed drastically.

"Have any of the landmines we planted detonated?"

"Immediately detonate all the pre-buried explosives between Dongpyeong and Changli, severing all the railway tracks—leave not a single one!"

"Send people to negotiate immediately. No matter what methods you use, stall them!"

"Snapped!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Tao thought of that smiling guy who was ruthless in scheming behind people's backs, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart, mixed with a trace of fear.

Sensing this fear, Li Tao became even angrier.

Because he simply couldn't understand what Su Huan was thinking!
The mysterious force behind the other party is an even bigger thorn in his side, keeping him awake at night for the past few days.

Once the new city plan falls apart, the company's development will come to a complete standstill, and the Li family, who have staked everything, will disappear in this acid rain that dissolves everything!
Thinking of this future, Li Tao's face contorted with rage, and he slammed his fist on the table, scattering documents all over the floor.

Seeing him so out of control for the first time, Zhong Cheng knew this was a serious matter.

"what's the situation?"

Li Tao looked at him with bloodshot eyes, "The armed train is going to interfere in the new city plan!"

Zhong Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted, "The force that wiped out He Jie's team?"

"Yes, I'm taking twenty men and five hundred servants to stop him. I don't care what methods you use, we'll take Changli County in one day!"
