Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 152 Primarch
Su Huan had nothing to deny, just as he could see the information flow in Li Tao's eyes.

The other party can also perceive his physical condition through various details.

The body is a complex whole; it cannot be concealed by changing skin color or breathing.

For example, Yu Yue could tell that something was wrong with Su Huan from his voice.

The goat might reach the same conclusion as Li Tao here, because even the judgment process has been omitted by his ability.

Different types of evolved beings can find weaknesses from different angles.

However, he also understood Li Tao's abilities.

In the realm of collectors, the first-tier "Trace Expert" is an advancement path developed by the Steel Council itself. He had seen it in the database in his previous life, with the highest level being the second tier.

One of Qu Hang's followers is this profession.

Su Huan had some understanding of the profession; it wasn't as mystical as the goat's profession, but rather relied more on subjective judgment.

He said calmly, "Yes, I'm about to die. It's about a 45-minute drive from the Steel Council headquarters. You should pray that Li Wangchuan didn't go back, otherwise I'll take him with me."

Li Tao's eye twitched slightly as he stared intently at Su Huan's face, not seeing the slightest sign of joking.

"There are 80,000 survivors at headquarters."

"There are probably only a few hundred thousand zombies chasing the car right now, but in an hour they will have gathered a million. It's only eighty thousand, we can finish it."

Li Tao fell silent.

If Su Huan were in good condition, he might doubt the truth of this statement. After all, those were 80,000 living people, not just a number. Anyone with even a shred of normal thinking would not choose to kill all 80,000 people.

But in front of him was Su Huan.

In the Changli battlefield, the Steel Council and various survivors numbered nearly ten thousand, yet he still wiped them all out in one fell swoop.
Now, it's estimated that there are less than a hundred left if you add them all together.

Judging from the timing of the inducing factor's effectiveness, it is estimated that the enemy had already used it before the war.

"Heartless and insane" is hardly enough to describe this person.

But now that he's about to die, how could he possibly care about other people's lives?

Li Tao felt a dryness in his throat. "Let's make a deal, Su Huan."

"Talk about it."

Su Huan said with great interest.

"I'll give you information from both realms, and spare the Steel Council."

"impossible."

"..."

“I can still obtain information from both fields even if I take down the Steel Council. I don’t believe that you are the only one among so many researchers who know this,” Su Huan said calmly.

The rejection was too abrupt; Li Tao knew this point was outside the scope of negotiation, but fortunately, he was only trying.

“I can tell you about the dual domains, and even more information about the apocalypse. I’ll only exchange one thing: Li Wangchuan is alive. Su Huan, you may not be an ordinary survivor, but you don’t have any powerful backing. If you want to go further north or establish influence in the acid rain zone, you will definitely have to deal with large companies.”

Li Tao seemed to have grasped the key point, his eyes deep, "If I hadn't told you, you would never have found another person who knows the truth in a short time. Don't even think about the board of directors; they probably don't know as much as I do."

"Also, I suggest you don't press me. I can't take it. You can't stop an evolved being who is determined to commit suicide."

"Indeed, we couldn't stop them."

Su Huan sighed softly, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and tapped his toes one by one.

Violent impacts could be heard from outside the carriage from time to time, and the 30mm thick armor would occasionally be dented.

The room was eerily silent.

A long time passed.

“I won’t go out of my way to kill Li Wangchuan, but if he’s unlucky enough to run into me, I won’t let him go either. Now tell me everything you know, not just about the dual domains, but also the Steel Council’s resources, trump cards, and all information. Tell me as much as you know, and don’t waste each other’s time by lying. I have my own methods for judging.”

Hearing this, Li Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone in the Li family could die, but as long as his uncle lived, there was hope for a comeback. After pondering for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.

What's even more terrifying than Su Huan's mad mentality is his unfounded source of information.

"You got the information about the dual domains from Lin Jin, right?"

Su Huan tilted his head and looked at Lin Jin at the door.

The latter stared at Li Tao for a long time, frowning and deep in thought.

“He doesn’t know me, but I’ve seen his file. He’s the older brother of Primarch Lin Xi. He has the potential to be a manipulator, but no potential in multiple fields was detected. I didn’t expect him to become a first-tier evolver in just a few days. Your genes are indeed extraordinary.”

Li Tao said with a complicated expression.

Lin Jin's pupils contracted, and he stepped forward, grabbing Li Tao's collar. He gritted his teeth and said, "You said back then that my sister was talented and that you would focus on nurturing her. What do you mean by 'Gene Primarch'?!"

"Lin Jin".

Su Huan called out, and only then did he reluctantly let go, standing aside and glaring fiercely at Li Tao.

Li Tao looked down at his wrinkled collar and calmly said, "Dual-domain talents often have two genes colliding, making it extremely difficult to advance. However, after using special drugs to stimulate them, their genes will remain active and they will enter a state of rapid evolution."

"Because it is an autonomous awakening, the evolved skills can be easily combined into a profession."

"The so-called skill potions and professional potions are compiled using their genes as the original source, and such people are called gene prototypes, which are one in ten million."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Huan was already lost in thought.

All the information finally connected in my mind.

Why did the Steel Council turn against him and arrest him in his previous life? Because this Primarch is too important to any company. Controlling the Primarch is equivalent to controlling a gene-based pharmaceutical production line!

No one would complain about having too many of these treasures. Even if they can't keep them, they shouldn't let them fall into other people's hands.

This is how the company operates.

"call……"

Su Huan was suddenly brought back to his senses by the heat wave that appeared out of nowhere in the room.

Orange-red flames appeared on Lin Jin's skin, the intense heat distorting the air.

The edges of the papers on the table were yellowed and curled, and the loose threads on the floral curtains had shortened.

The perceived temperature soared to 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, so the actual temperature was probably over 100.

"boom!"

Li Tao, along with his stretcher, was punched away by Lin Jin.

Su Huan's eyelids twitched, and he was relieved to find that there were no signs of burning on Li Tao's body. Although Lin Jin was angry, he still maintained basic restraint and had no intention of killing Li Tao.

Lin Jin must have known about the Primogen in his previous life, which is why he said, "His path was already predetermined."

They would only offer their assistance when Su Huan defected.

However, he still had one question.

Lin Jin is the only fifth-tier evolver in the Steel Council. Can't he save even one person?
Is it that it's beyond saving, or that it's impossible to save?

In the short time that Su Huan was thinking.

Li Tao was punched more than a dozen times. Because the punches were all aimed at his waist and ribs, he couldn't even cry out in pain, only groaning repeatedly.

Su Huan rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "I still have questions to ask, don't kill him."

Upon hearing Su Huan's words, Lin Jin silently withdrew his hand and stood up to the side.

Despite his bruised and swollen face, Li Tao didn't utter any harsh words, only coughing twice.

Su Huan stood up, squatted down next to Li Tao, and asked one last question, "What is the cost of the Primarch's rapid evolution?"
