Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 142 Wrong Car

The SUV screeched to a halt in front of the mutton soup shop.

The driver opened the car door and used it as cover to fire rapidly.

A violent current spread like a spider web from the feet of the black-clad, long-haired man. In the midst of Lin Jin's dazzling vision, the man threw out more than a dozen grenades, forcefully suppressing the surging tide of corpses.

Just as he was about to speak, the man turned his incredibly long sniper rifle around and aimed it at him.

The sniper rifle was a full 1.8 meters long, and the muzzle even flickered with faint arcs of electricity.

The moment Lin Jin looked at the muzzle of the gun, he felt as if the blood in his body had frozen, and the image of the bloodhound being torn apart by the sniper rifle played repeatedly in his mind.

He froze completely in place.

When I saw the corners of his mouth slowly lower behind the scope, it felt as if I had stepped into empty air, and my whole body plummeted downwards, enveloped by endless coldness.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Su Huan couldn't laugh now, really, he couldn't laugh at all.

He even suspected that "Ubiquitous Sensing" was sending him false battle reports.

Because the clean-cut, clear-eyed, and cautious young man in front of him, who looked exactly like Lin Jin in his memory even through a high-powered scope, was a first-tier evolver.

A newly evolved, still unstable aura, but with limitless potential, a first-tier "Burner," destined to become a fifth-tier "Flame Lord"!
As is well known, apart from the Defenders, the evolution of the other four types of Evolvers requires a large amount of general energy.

This means it needs to devour a large number of universal energy crystals.

But at this time, Lin Jin was just an ordinary peripheral servant of the Steel Council. Where would he get the universal energy crystal to use?

And he's not a collector, so does he rely entirely on eating raw hearts?
This is also why Su Huan fell silent the moment he saw him.

I lost all interest in using the cool words I had prepared, as those annoying zombies swarmed around me again.

Su Huan fired a shot at the clumsy butcher. The blue light flashed, and the butcher fell to the ground. He glanced at Lin Jin, who was still standing there in a daze, and asked, "Do I have to invite you into the car?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to kill him, Lin Jin weighed his options and quickly climbed into the car.

Unexpectedly, the person in the back seat was a girl. I nodded as a greeting.

"boom--"

Before he could even settle in, he heard the sound of doors closing in front of him.

The driver suddenly slammed on the gas pedal, and the powerful acceleration pressed the two people firmly into the car.

The SUV sped off like a wild horse.

The car body crackled with electricity, and the bloodhounds and zombies that pounced on it were all stunned by the electric light and then left behind.

After several dozen seconds, Su Huan finally climbed into the passenger seat.

The only sound inside the car was the roar of the engine. The driver, Goat, kept observing Lin Jin through the rearview mirror, an absurd thought rising and falling in his mind.

Was this whole war just to find this young man behind them who uses fire?
"How much universal energy crystal did you use?"

Su Huan, sitting in the passenger seat, leaned back and rested his sniper rifle on the outside of the car window, squinting as he sized up Lin Jin.

He was wearing a camouflage outfit and a raincoat, just like he was wearing when he saved him in his past life.

The only difference is the type of injury they sustained.

Lin Jin's previous life was much worse than this one. He suffered extensive burns all over his body and lost sight in one eye. Now, it seems that only his right hand and arm are burned, and his neck is red.

I initially thought he had used some powerful skill to take the opponent down with him.

It now looks more like he compressed high energy on the Mojiang Bridge and used some dangerous method to advance his rank.

Lin Jin hesitated for a moment, "Are you talking about those crystals the size of a pinky fingernail?"

"Correct."

"One."

Su Huan was silent for a moment, then asked again, "When did you use it?" "About two days ago, on the evening of January 5th."

Lin Jin answered cautiously, and seeing that Su Huan's expression was somewhat strange, he immediately felt uneasy.

Looking at his four fellow evolved beings, he felt they weren't as powerful as him. Could it be that he had used the wrong method and overdrawn his life force?

But he didn't realize that he was actually overdrawing the train conductor's imagination of genius.

Lin Jin asked cautiously, "Is there a problem?"

"Oh, no problem."

Su Huan twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a fake smile that was three parts mockery, five parts indifference, and two parts self-deprecation.

He's already numb.

Two days.

It awakened by absorbing ordinary universal energy crystals, and then evolved to the first tier entirely through the stimulation of battle.

Lin Jin went from the first rank to the fifth rank in less than four years.

At the same time, the Eighth Master was only at the third rank!
He finally understood how Lin Jin had become the only S-class squad leader in the Steel Council in his previous life.

It's all talent!

If there were even a single drop of sweat in there, the train conductor would kneel down and lick it for him on the spot!

Apart from him, the strongest in the entire Steel Council is only at the third tier, which is a significant gap in terms of sheer strength.

One person can support a top-tier power!

After witnessing this talent firsthand, Su Huan even felt that the Steel Council was not worthy of Lin Jin at all, not even if they were to serve as logistics personnel!
However, even greater doubts arose.

In his previous life, Lin Jin was already at the fifth level, so why did he ignite that fire at the Steel Council?
Given his status and power in the Steel Council at the time, couldn't he have protected a mere Tier 1 Evolver?

Looking at the face before him, it slowly overlapped with the man in Su Huan's memory, his bloodshot eyes burning with a mad flame.

"Su Huan, when we meet again, I will pave the way for you at the end of purgatory."

What exactly does this sentence mean?
Various doubts filled Su Huan's mind. He felt that he was only a thin piece of paper away from the truth, but due to the lack of key information, he was unable to break through it.

And yet, before anything has happened, the person who knows the truth sits before you, his eyes clear and cautious like a college student.

You can't get any answers from asking.

This feeling was driving Su Huan crazy. He pulled the trigger with his left hand, and a cold blue beam of light flashed, killing a Night Demon that pounced on him. He then dug his right hand deep into his hair, smoothed it back, and suppressed all his emotions.

He grinned, flashing a standard, full-tooth smile. "By the way, do you know who I am?"

Lin Jin glanced at the driver, then cautiously scrutinized Su Huan. "The company's elite warrior?"

"Oh? Is that what you think?" Su Huan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he patted the goat-like man driving the car on the shoulder. "Actually, you're not wrong. We are indeed fighting alongside the company's elite warriors."

Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they were on the same side.

If you get on the wrong bus, that would be a real problem.

However, he didn't notice the strange expression on the girl's face beside him, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The SUV was driving extremely fast, and with Su Huan's wide-range control, it charged around recklessly, breaking out of their encirclement in just three to five minutes.

Lin Jin was just about to get out of the car when he saw a group of Steel Council soldiers blocking the perimeter.

Then, Su Huan's chair suddenly tilted back, and he lay almost flat on the inside of the car. The oversized sniper rifle in his hand was almost touching his face, and the muzzle was pointed at the vehicle outside the windshield. Under Lin Jin's horrified gaze, he pulled the trigger.

The straight beam of light pierced through the vehicle and driver in front of them, taking everyone in the car directly into the shop next door.

Su Huan tilted his head and glanced at Ni Linjin's hand resting on the butt of his gun.

"What, you want to fire a shot too?"
