Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 14 Passengers Must Not Be Beaten Without Reason
"Then there are various foods with longer shelf lives, such as biscuits, ham, and instant noodles, each with its own..."

"Let's just calculate how many days it would take for six people to eat," Su Huan said calmly.

"Not counting canned food, rice, flour, and cooking oil, it would last us about seven months if we ate two meals a day."

What about clean water reserves?

"120 cases of bottled water (24 bottles per case), 23 barrels of water, and 842 bottles of various beverages," Yu Yue explained in detail.

Su Huan secretly calculated that these supplies alone would be enough to allow the six-person team to live a fulfilling life in the apocalypse.

Moreover, a large amount of non-staple food was not included in the reserves and was scattered in the first few carriages.

But these supplies are only for temporary use.

The apocalypse is likely to last for many years, and relying solely on food reserves will inevitably lead to depletion. Resources will become increasingly scarce, making the creation of wagon farms imperative.

At that time, the rational allocation of various carriages will allow resources to circulate, and self-sufficiency through armed trains will be the key.

"Thump-thump-thump!"

A rhythmic knocking sound came from the carriage.

The group of people all turned their attention to Su Huan.

"You guys organize things here first. Remember to lock the door to carriage number 7. Let's just fuse it together as one piece and open it when needed."

After giving his instructions, Su Huan walked towards carriage number 5.

Outside the window, several passengers stood sweating profusely, looking around warily.

Su Huan activated his all-encompassing perception and only opened the window after confirming that there was nothing above or below him.

A hot wind hits your face.

He asked calmly, "What is it?"

One of the men said, "We found the steel plates, but there are a lot of them. There are zombies around, and we can't get them back without a vehicle."

Su Huan frowned. He did need to prepare some tools. This time it was a steel plate, but next time it might be a small water purifier. Relying on people to move it was really unreliable.

We need to think of a solution later.

But for now...

Su Huan said coldly, "Finding the car is your business. I don't care what methods you use. I only want the steel plate. If you don't bring back the steel plate, no one will get on the car."

The car window was slammed down.

Left with no other option, the group had to turn back and try to find a way to transport the steel plates.

Turning around, the storage room had been almost completely tidied up. Various metal cans were neatly arranged on the black iron shelves, like rows of city walls, exuding a heavy sense of satisfaction.

The others looked at him. "What happened?"

Su Huan rubbed his chin. "Perhaps we should get a crane."

Yu Jing agreed, saying, "It can be installed on the carriage to lift the steel plate up; otherwise, it would be very difficult to lift the steel plate to the roof by manpower."

Liang Kuan: "Shall we set off to search now?"

Su Huan was taken aback. "Depart? What do you mean, depart?"

Su Huan sighed, "Wasn't the lesson you learned from that bloodhound yesterday enough? It's already this dangerous on the train, anything can happen outside. Think before you make decisions, this is the end of the world!"

“Yu Jing, go to my room and get a piece of paper. Write down that the person who brings in the crane will receive three months of free train tickets.”

"Alright, before they return, let's quickly build the other carriage frames."

Su Huan ignored them and continued working in carriage number 5.

The apocalypse is becoming increasingly dangerous.

Based on his past life's survival experience, the best way to live is to simply endure hardship.

No matter how fast humans evolve, can they outrun animals? Anyway, he was determined not to go out until he evolved to the point where he could roam freely in the apocalypse. Even if all the passengers behind him died, he didn't want to risk his life for such a trivial matter as searching for supplies.

The group continued working, and with the experience gained from carriage number 6, they moved even faster later on.

Moreover, the other carriages do not need to be completely dismantled.

Only a portion needs to be modified.

Although Su Huan occupied an entire carriage, there were a total of eight soft sleeper berths in carriage number 4. Yu Jing and her daughter were using one of them, and there was plenty of room for the others.

Carriage number 5 used to be used for storing miscellaneous items, but now that it has been cleared out, it can be converted into a medical carriage.

Before they could finish their work, it was already afternoon, and passengers had begun to return one after another.

Su Huan resumed his pleasant ticket-collecting time.

"Exchange tickets."

A cartload of steel plates was pushed forward.

Su Huan looked up and saw that the man in front of him looked as rough as his voice. Standing next to him was a young man with a large number of tattoos on his face, whose eyes were frivolous and kept trying to look into the carriage behind him.

He had a deep impression of this group of people; the large family that stole his supplies had left with them this morning.

Now it seems...

Su Huan glanced at the family and couldn't help but smile. Of the lively family, only the old lady's youngest son remained. Now, he had his hands out of his pockets and stood timidly at the back, with several elderly passengers sandwiched between him.

After watching the spectacle, our attention returned to the steel plate.

"Eight steel plates, eight people, that's right, but two of them are newbies, and the newbies need two plates."

Su Huan pointed to the people behind him and said calmly.

The tattooed youth scoffed, "That's right, there are seven people. That one doesn't count. The extra steel plate is for his wife."

Upon hearing this, the kid behind him immediately cried out in a shrill voice, "Brother Dog, you said you'd give me a spot if my dad went to distract the zombies, what are you now...?"

"boom."

The passenger standing next to him shoved him hard.

The dull thuds of each punch made Su Huan's ears burn. He said sternly, "You're not allowed to beat up passengers without reason."

The tattooed youth turned around and chuckled, "Didn't I give the spot to your wife? You're a grown man, why are you trying to take it from her? Why don't you just find two more steel plates? There are so many in the steel mill."

The boy who had been beaten was sandwiched between several people, his mouth covered, his eyes red with anger.

The burly man frowned and scolded, "Kid, Brother Su is talking to you."

The tattooed youth quickly turned around, pretended to slap himself, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and pretended to hand it to Su Huan, "Brother Su, we've never been to school and we don't know any better, please don't hold it against me."

Su Huan looked at the two cigarettes in his hand with amusement. After a while, he stretched out two fingers and directly grabbed the other man's wrist, converting his energy into an electric current output.

In an instant, the young man called "Little Devil" changed his expression drastically, his muscles stiffened, and his clothes crackled.

Dog Brother and his companions' expressions changed drastically, but they dared not step forward.

Su Huan simply took the entire pack of cigarettes from the other person's hand before letting go.

He casually remarked that it was a trivial matter.

The little devil fell to the ground with a thud, looking at Su Huan as if he had seen a ghost, his eyebrows were scraggly, his tongue was tied, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Su Huan packed the cigarettes into a pack and ticked the names of the people on the roster. "Although I don't smoke, I like collecting them. Remember to bring me a whole carton next time. Alright, those who have paid their tickets can board now."

Dog Brother and the others didn't dare say anything, quickly picked up the little devil, and slunk into the car.

The woman glanced at her husband lying on the ground, gritted her teeth, and got into the car.
