Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 127 Sniper Showdown
Armed helicopters flew over the buildings of varying heights on the horizon, the wind churning against their rotors, their enormous roar carrying a sense of exasperation.

Inside the helicopter, Li Tao stared grimly at the train below. Not seeing the negotiators he had sent out, he gritted his teeth and said, "The enemy's attack range is estimated to be around three kilometers. I won't let the helicopter get too close; I can only provide support from a distance. Remember, don't be careless!"

The soldier next to him opened the hatch, and a gust of wind rushed in.

Zhang Tie, standing to the side, puffed out his cheeks, spat out his chewing gum, grinned maliciously, grabbed the rope with one hand, and leaped outside.

It landed directly on a high-rise building.

Li Tao clearly had no time to concern himself with his attitude and ordered, "Launch the attack immediately to cover the ground troops' advance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rockets mounted on the helicopter shot out with a whistling sound.

The next moment, a huge burst of fire erupted at the front of the train. Li Tao instinctively gripped the handle, his eyes fixed on the train below.

"Chirp—"

A sharp whistle sounded, but the undamaged train continued its slow journey on the tracks.

There wasn't a single dent on the car body.

"what?!"

……

"I can't hit it, I can't hit it, it's so infuriating!"

Su Huan stretched lazily.

Grandpa Ma stood up, gazing at the helicopter outside the window, lost in thought. In the corner, Xiao Ba's eyes, hidden beneath his black hair, held a more serious expression.

Just as the rocket was launched, Professor Ma and Xiao Ba used their abilities to intercept and detonate it in mid-air.

So although the flames were spectacular, they didn't even touch the train's armor.

“My gravity interferes with it, but the effect is not good.”

Professor Ma suddenly said.

"Grandpa Ma, you should rest first." The motor turned on, and Xiao Ba's wheelchair came to the window. Looking at the dozen or so rockets whistling in from the horizon, he said seriously, "I think I've found a more effortless way."

The next second, the rocket that had just entered Xiaoba's range was detonated again.

The blast wave spread, shattering the windows of surrounding high-rise buildings and cracking their walls.

"careful!"

Xiao Ba suddenly let out a soft cry.

"Snapped!"

A 7.62mm armor-piercing round suddenly appeared on the car window in front of Su Huan. Centered on the bullet, the entire glass stretched inward like cling film, creating a hole.

The bullets hovered in mid-air, as if frozen in place, with only the sound of wheels colliding with rails.

Xiao Ba, standing to the side, stretched out a hand, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

The energy surrounding Su Huan did not dissipate; instead, he turned slightly to the side and chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Snapped!"

At the same spot, another armor-piercing shell penetrated.

Everyone's hearts tightened.

But because Su Huan turned to the side, the bullet whizzed past his eyes, and the strong wind cut off a few strands of his messy long hair.

The stray bullets, deflected by the energy flow, struck the inner wall of the carriage.

Su Huan's smiling eyes straightened slightly, a hint of nostalgia in them.

Moving target, two shots from the same gun hole—only one person in the Steel Council could do that.

'My old boss is here...'

Su Huan smirked and turned to He Jie, who was leaning against the ladder with his arms crossed, saying, "Qu Hang likes your daughter."

He Jie was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? When has he ever seen my daughter?"

Train conductors are prone to lying, so don't easily believe them.

"Really?" Su Huan tilted his head. "Are you sure those two haven't met before?"

Thinking of how Su Huan could readily reveal all sorts of information about him before, and the almost godlike omniscience he had recently encountered, He Jie couldn't help but become suspicious again, frantically searching his memory for related information.

Although their training is mostly conducted in complete isolation, their families are invited to reunite with them every six months to maintain morale.

Could it be around this time?
He Jie suddenly slapped his thigh.

No wonder Qu Hang got along better with me later; this was all premeditated!
His daughter was only fifteen years old at that time.

Qu Hang, that son of a bitch!
Su Huan chimed in at just the right moment, "After that, Qu Hang seemed to develop a habit of always taking out a photo to look at. Could it be his new girlfriend from training?" He Jie's nostrils flared, and his cheeks began to twitch uncontrollably, making him look increasingly ferocious.

Closed training! Fully closed training!

During the first six months, he didn't have this habit at all. The whole island was just a bunch of men and their families, and there wasn't a single woman!

Where is he going to find a girlfriend?!

"Don't say that, it would be better if Qu Hang went to help you take care of your wife and daughter than..."

"Shut up!"

He Jie was so angry that his lips trembled.

Seeing that he had stirred up enough trouble, Su Huan pointed to the Iron Rain anti-aircraft machine guns overhead and said, "Go on, don't keep your old comrades waiting!"

The enraged brown bear grabbed the railing and jumped onto the roof of the car.

Su Huan rubbed his chin and walked towards the back of the carriage.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would burst out laughing.

The old boss did like He Jie's daughter, but not in a romantic way. As for the photo in his arms, Su Huan had smudged the face when he saw it, and could not tell anything except that it was a woman.

But the train conductor didn't have any other hobbies, so what's wrong with telling a few little lies?
The iron rain overhead, a violent barrage of metal bullets, sprayed out into the distance.

As Su Huan suppressed a smile, he suddenly paused, and the bullets hit his armor and bounced off.

Continue walking forward.

His pace varied, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and he always managed to use the vehicle's armor to perfectly dodge sniper bullets, like a dancer leaping to the beat of a drum.

First, he went back to his room to retrieve the Citybreaker electromagnetic sniper rifle, and then walked towards the food cart.

Things were much better once we got into the dining car.

The glass here is double-layered, so even if a 7.62mm bullet hits the same spot, it won't penetrate.

Yu Yue rushed over quickly with her sniper rifle. When she saw Su Huan, a look of relief appeared on her face. "We were attacked, but my sniper rifle can't reach him as far as his!"

Su Huan placed the 1.8-meter anti-materiel sniper rifle in her hand, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Your one only has an effective range of 1200 meters. You'll need this to hit him."

……

Four infantry fighting vehicles raced wildly through the chaotic streets, showing no intention of stopping even when there were vehicles blocking their way.

The various zombies were torn apart by the ferocious firepower before they could even get close.

The armored personnel carriers followed closely behind, tearing the closed road open again.

Meanwhile, snipers were already poised to strike from several high-rise buildings near the railway tracks.

Qu Hang lay prone in the living room of an upscale residential complex, with an unobstructed view through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

But what he was holding was an ordinary high-precision sniper rifle.

Its range is only 1000 meters, even less than the Night Owl X in Yu Yue's hands by 200 meters.

Despite being dodged by Su Huan after firing seven shots in quick succession, Qu Hang remained unfazed. He calmly reloaded, adjusted his direction, abandoned Su Huan, and chose a new target.

Naturally, the scope was locked onto the anti-aircraft machine gunner on the roof of the vehicle.

Even he was taken aback when he saw the unshaven face.

Various possibilities swirled in my mind, but I decided to report the truth.

"He Jie is not dead."

The four words were carried by the breeze, through the shattered glass window, and into the infantry fighting vehicle that had just passed below.

Within a few breaths, all the chaotic thoughts were suppressed by powerful self-control.

He put He Jie back into the scope, his eyes now only seeing a cold glint.

Now they are enemies.

Feeling the wind direction and intensity outside the window, Qu Hang hooked his finger on the trigger.

The next moment, an immense sense of crisis suddenly enveloped his entire body, as if a giant hand had gripped his heart tightly.

His hair stood on end, and he stopped breathing!
Without a moment to think, he instantly abandoned all offensive actions, grabbed the light sniper rifle in his hand, and twisted his waist to flip over.

"boom--"

A beam of pale blue light emanated from the armed train three kilometers away, shooting straight into the living room without any parabolic arc!
