Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 145 The Battle of the Evolvers
"No, I don't think this train is good."

The middle-aged man rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. The woman now harbored a deep resentment towards him, and anything he said would trigger an instinctive backlash from her.

"Don't you think evolution is amazing? When a bullet or a shell is developed, its power is already fixed. Although they may have slight differences, the same model will never be drastically different."

Wang Yi was getting impatient. "If you want to lecture me, then shut your mouth."

The middle-aged man stood up and walked to the window, saying to himself, "When they are transported to the battlefield, no matter how they are used, their effect is the same. But evolution is different. It is a power that is in the hands of every evolved being. It can change according to individual will. Just like just now, several first-level evolved beings actually intercepted a shell."

"Although they rely on trains and those unchanging inanimate objects, one day they will evolve to a higher level and surpass those things whose power is fixed. That vigorous, ever-flowing vitality is truly delightful."

Wang Yi fell silent for a moment, as if she understood the meaning behind the other person's words.

People tend to care more about what they lack.

For people like them who have already achieved enormous wealth and status in their fifties, what they crave most is this vibrant vitality.

Their extravagant material enjoyment makes them more sensitive to the aging of their bodies.

Subtle changes in taste, muscles gradually stiffening and losing their suppleness, a lack of energy...

It felt like a messenger of death was standing by her bedside every day, recording the time she spent, and then taking something away from her little by little.

The passing of life is not terrible; what is terrible is gradually losing one's perception of the world.

Therefore, in the face of evolution, these people who "know their destiny" are even more excited and more crazy.

"But there will be a second, a third, and even more."

Wang Yi slightly raised her chin and spoke with a cold and elegant demeanor.

……

"They even have anti-tank guns!"

"Why didn't you bring out something this good sooner?"

"Chairman Li, if you had said you had this, we wouldn't be in such a hurry..."

"yes……"

Li Wangchuan was extremely annoyed by the mindless, mumbling directors behind him.

When he saw the first shell being intercepted, he had a bad feeling.

Many things don't suddenly collapse from that point; it's like a novel that ends abruptly, with the real foreshadowing planted long before.

But he can't afford to lose!
For Wang Yi, the Steel Council was merely an inheritance left by her father, not her entire world. But for Li Wangchuan, the Steel Council and the New City Project were everything to him and to his family. He could lose to anyone else, but he could not afford to lose to anyone else!

Gazing at the armed train engulfed in flames in the distance, Li Wangchuan silently investigated the source of his unease.

……

Metal and gunpowder remain the main themes tonight, but the evolved lightning and fire are also quite dazzling.

Just like Li Wangchuan's unease, the armed train withstood the next two shells, and then the dazzling lightning and fire once again took over the battlefield within a hundred-meter radius.

The results of Su Huan's tireless absorption of the universal energy crystals were finally revealed at this moment.

The level 4 "Universal Energy Conversion" directly increases the energy conversion efficiency to 40%. Combined with the level 3 "Energy Shaping" and level 3 "Universal Energy Perception", the "Static Swamp" originally used for exploration was turned into an electric grid by him, and every place he went was a forbidden zone.

It requires almost no skill; it's all about quantity and plenty!
Lin Jin's flames followed Su Huan's lightning, raging and engulfing the invaders.

However, he did not have Su Huan's abundant energy reserves, so he could not continuously burn large targets. He could only use instantaneous high temperatures to kill, aiming to injure people rather than roasting them into charred corpses as before.

The metal armor in front of the cockpit has peeled off layer by layer, and the original glass has long since shattered, turning into a transparent panoramic sunroof.

Liang Kuan, in the driver's seat, remained unmoved, holding a shield in one hand and steadily maneuvering the train with the other.

He Jie looked at Xiao Ba, who had withstood three 85mm shells and was looking somewhat weak due to excessive energy consumption, and was so shocked that he completely lost control of his expression.

Why are the players on my team so weak, even though we're all manipulators?
Putting everything else aside, just based on that ability to withstand an 85-level zombie horde...

It doesn't seem like it's impossible...

A muffled thud interrupted He Jie's daydreaming.

The projectile was accelerated to nearly Mach 5 by electromagnetic propulsion, tearing through the night with a ghostly blue electric light as it pierced the direction from which the artillery had come.

It's unclear what was detonated, but it caused a bright explosion.

"Two more wins!"

Su Huan chuckled, picked up the Citybreaker sniper rifle in his hand, stepped onto the control panel, grabbed the top edge of the car window with one hand, and flipped himself onto the front of the car.

Before he could even stand up straight, a hail of bullets swept over him.

Suddenly the air in front of them distorted, acid rain rose, and high temperature hit them. An invisible flame instantly turned the warhead into a pool of molten iron, which was thrown aside and landed on the front armor of the vehicle with a sizzling sound.

The third brother, who was controlling the Iron Rain, immediately retaliated fiercely against the location where the fire was fired.

A 14.5mm armor-piercing round can teach everyone what silence is.

Su Huan lowered his eyelids and saw Lin Jin standing on the control panel, panting heavily. One of his burned arms was clinging to the edge of the car window, and the wound was bubbling with tiny bubbles from the acid rain.

With his other hand on the frame, he struggled to climb up.

Su Huan's voice was like sand and gravel grinding against each other, carrying a hint of inexplicable emotion.

"He's going to die."

"No, I have to go see my sister."

"I can't stand you." Lin Jin stared blankly at the outstretched hand in front of him, then looked up at the train conductor standing on the carriage. His narrow eyes were brightly illuminated by the headlights of the mining engineering vehicles surrounding the train.

Like the eyes of a wolf on a snowy night, sharp and clear.

"Snapped!"

The two hands were clasped together.

Su Huan grabbed Lin Jin and lifted him up.

He Jie had somehow climbed onto the roof of the car as well. Acid rain streamed down his brow bone and jawline, soaking his black tank top. He looked at the scene before him with a serious expression. "There are too many people."

Su Huan could feel the dozens of killing intents piercing the rain without even looking, scattered in the darkness between the construction vehicles.

They are all evolved beings, and many are at level one.

However, none of them carried guns, presumably because Xiao Ba had taught them a lesson that was too painful.

"Snapped!"

He clicked his tongue.

Su Huan grinned, his clear and loud voice booming past the engine, echoing in all directions, "He Jie said he's going to tie your baskets into a bow!"

After saying that, he patted Lin Jin on the shoulder and chuckled, "Then you and he can stay here and guard this place."

After saying that, he jumped off the train with the sniper rifle in his arms, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.

Sensing dozens of killing intents shooting towards him, He Jie cursed inwardly, knowing that Su Huan was up to no good!

"Clap clap-"

Another sniper shot came!

He Jie scurried away while simultaneously launching a counterattack.

Su Huan, who had just been under the headlights, swayed a few times before darting into the shadows.

There was no hint of mockery in his eyes, only a chilling killing intent.

There were four Tier 1 Evolvers on the vehicle. Qu Hang was still seriously injured, He Jie was slightly injured, and Lin Jin and Xiao Ba, who was close to Tier 1, intercepted three shells. They were all in a weakened state and could not hold out for long even with the use of the universal energy crystal.

It's impossible to fill the huge hole with ability alone.

There were still about 300 meters to go before the big pit ahead. Although the train was moving slowly, it would take less than two minutes to cover those 300 meters.

In other words, he only had two minutes to fill the five-meter-deep pit.

These mining engineering vehicles, each weighing hundreds of tons, are perfect for filling pits.

Su Huan twisted his neck, pointed the sniper rifle to the right, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Oh!"

An electric arc shot through the air, and water vapor burst forth.

However, there was only a ring of water mist spreading out from the spot.

It's empty.

Su Huan raised an eyebrow in surprise and saw a woman clinging to the side of the construction vehicle like a spider, on all fours.

Su Huan was able to determine the other party's profession at first glance.

Although the posture is strange, it has all the necessary hands and feet, and there is no strange growth of flesh and blood. It is obviously not a creator that follows the path of flesh and blood, but rather a combat technique of the Defender's Domain.

Just as Su Huan was stunned, a cold wind suddenly came from behind him.

However, under Su Huan's "Universal Energy Sensing" which covers a radius of 20 meters, it is as obvious as a light bulb.

"呲-"

A long sword made of carbon fiber composite material cleaved the ground.

A crack appeared in the asphalt road surface instantly.

Without hesitation, the skilled soldier with the knife sheathed it, rolled forward, quickly turned around, and then looked up at Su Huan, who was squatting vertically on the concrete pillar.

Su Huan did not intend to attack him, but instead looked in several other directions.

A soldier dressed in combat gear, holding a Night Demon Claw, and exuding a fierce aura, walked over through the puddles.

There was another one with a compound bow, who kept circling around outside, hesitating to make a move.

But what caught Su Huan's attention the most was a tall figure holding a rubber baton, wearing the same training uniform as ordinary soldiers, except that he was wearing a black raincoat over it.

By the dim light, Su Huan could see the cold, stern face under the brim of the hat, his eyes filled with murderous intent that had reached its limit.

Zhong Cheng, the "Fighting Master," was a Tier 3 Defender who was on par with He Jie as one of the right-hand men of the Steel Council in its later stages!
Including the first few, there are a total of five defenders.

Three are first-order, and two are close to first-order.

"I thought you would go to find He Jie first."

"I'll kill you, then I'll settle accounts with that traitor."

Zhong Cheng's murderous intent remained unwavering as he steadily walked towards Su Huan.

For the defenders, fighting is no different from that of ancient warriors.

When your spirit and energy are at their peak, you're fighting for a life-or-death moment!
