Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 153 White Porridge
Compared to the outside of the train, Su Huan's carriage was relatively peaceful.

"Kaka——"

He Jie pulled the bolt twice, throwing the jammed assault rifle aside. He grabbed the light machine gun mounted on the car window and aimed it out the window. Without even changing his cigarette, he bit the half-smoked cigarette butt between his teeth. "Big Brother, light it up!"

The leader, who was frantically loading the ammunition belt with a loader, shouted "Roger!" and picked up a shotgun loaded with incendiary rounds and fired a shot at the hole in the train.

With a "whoosh," the firelight illuminated the hideous and terrifying world.

Under the cover of darkness, tall buildings collapsed one after another, and towers of corpses rose from the ground, like waves surging from all directions, chasing after the train.

Dozens of meters away, a five-meter-tall Tier 2 Butcher used a street lamp in its hand as a javelin and hurled it at the train.

He Jie gasped, turned around and kicked the still-stunned boss to the ground, then lunged to the side.

However, the expected tremor did not occur.

As soon as He Jie looked up, he saw Xiao Ba's electric wheelchair slowly approaching from the end of the corridor. The twelve-year-old boy's frame had not yet fully developed, but his handsome features were already evident. His black hair was slightly long, falling behind his neck and around his ears, and the metallic hue in his calm eyes had not yet faded.

"Thanks, Eighth Master."

He Jie exclaimed in admiration and got up.

The holes that were originally caused by the engineering vehicles on the train have been filled and repaired with metal.

Xiao Ba, somewhat flustered by He Jie's praise, tugged at her sleeves and shyly hummed in agreement.

He Jie noticed Xiao Ba's discomfort and stopped teasing him, asking in a serious voice, "How did things go later?"

Speaking of business, Xiao Ba secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "The leaks in the carriages have been mostly repaired. The front carriages are fine, but the last one was bitten to pieces by a second-tier evolved beast. We had to use a rocket launcher to temporarily throw it off. It might come back up again later. Sister Yu Jing and her people are there to stop it."

"Oh right, it seems there are still members of the Steel Council alive around the train."

He Jie scratched his thick chest hair. "An evolved being?"

"They are all elite evolved beings."

He Jie rolled down the car window next to him and fired another incendiary bomb.

Sure enough, I saw an off-road vehicle speeding wildly next to the railway tracks, dozens of meters away, and I immediately understood what was going on.

These zombies and evolved beasts surrounded the armed train from all sides like a giant net, and the remaining soldiers of the Steel Council had nowhere to escape. They were driven to the vicinity of the train like wild beasts being hunted.

He Jie grinned and shouted, "Want to get in the car? Not only are you not afraid of zombies, but you can also have a Coke in the car."

He casually turned on the night light inside the carriage, grabbed a bottle of cola from the shelf next to him, and drank it down.

He drank with great gusto, making sure to show it to the soldiers in the car.

A loud roar came from the SUV, "Boss He, you can keep it for yourself, the brothers need to go home."

A fierce glint flashed across He Jie's face as he raised his light machine gun and sneered, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"Clap clap clap..."

A series of precise shots blew out the tires of the off-road vehicle.

Amidst the excited howls of the corpses, a wavering, angry curse echoed.

"He Jie, you old dog!"

"boom!"

A Tier 1 Skull Crusher wielded two hammers and slammed them hard into the front of the off-road vehicle.

The off-road vehicle's rear end was raised high as if it were bent over. Although the soldier's superb driving skills allowed the off-road vehicle to escape, its condition was obviously wrong, and it was unclear where it was damaged. Its speed had also decreased significantly.

Twenty seconds later.

Three soldiers, their faces contorted with grief, squatted in the corridor of carriage number 4 of the train, their thumbs locked behind their backs with an iron ring.

He Jie patted a dark-skinned, thin soldier on the head and sneered repeatedly, "You little brat, didn't you want to go home? Go home now, you've really made something of yourself, daring to call me by my code name directly."

The dark-skinned, thin soldier chuckled obsequiously, "Boss He, you must have misheard. Everyone in the company knows that I, Long-Legged Rabbit, respect you the most, Boss He. If it weren't for our boss insisting on choosing me, I would have followed you. Long-Legged Dog is much more prestigious than any Long-Legged Rabbit."

"Since you're so good at flattering, you'll be called 'lackey' from now on. Where's your boss, 'Baldy'?"

The soldier's face twitched. "Bad luck. The second line of defense was hit by a burst of fire from the anti-aircraft machine gun on the train and was destroyed on the spot."

He Jie opened his mouth, realizing that he must have been the one who started that fight.

But he didn't hold back with his words, "Looks like my marksmanship has improved; I've been wanting to shoot this son of a bitch for a while now."

The soldier immediately followed the pole, saying, "From now on, I'll be called 'Legion.' We're brothers from the same place, so Boss He has to take care of us."

They are all elite soldiers trained at great expense; none of them are fools.

Given the current situation, even if there were no one on the train who was one of our own, we would still have to vote.

Since we're all the same race, there's not much psychological pressure in voting.

Although He Jie is short-tempered, he is ruthless but soft-hearted and always treats his own people well. He is one of the most popular people among the three hundred.

With a shout, he could summon a dozen or so men to charge alongside him.

If it weren't for the slightly lower theoretical score, he would at least have made it into Team A.

He Jie glared at him. "Don't try to get close to me. During training, you and your bald boss shot me a lot! And this is an armed train. You're a prisoner now. If the train conductor doesn't like you, I'll be the first to send you away!" The three soldiers immediately tensed up and shut their mouths tightly.

He Jie turned to look at Xiao Ba beside him and explained in a low voice, "I know these three people. One is a demolition expert, and the other two are medics. The train is short of people like these, so the train conductor told me to gather them together."

Xiao Ba nodded, but asked with some confusion, "Then why tie them up?"

He Jie shook his head. "Friendship is friendship, rules are rules. They are prisoners now, and we don't have the manpower to watch over them. It would be better for us to control them."

Xiao Ba nodded thoughtfully.

"So, the more people we arrest now, the stronger the train will become in the future?"

"That's what happened."

Even He Jie showed more patience when facing Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba's eyes lit up, and he pointed out the car window, "It looks like a few more have come outside. I'll catch them for you!"

……

There was only one small, warm light on in the corridor of the dining car.

If Su Huan were to leave the room, he would be able to see it.

As for the kitchen, only a few appliances had faint indicator lights on.

With Yu Yue's current familiarity with the kitchen, she could cook a delicious meal even with her eyes closed.

Seeing that it was 1:49 a.m., Yu Yue scooped a bowl of white porridge with a soup spoon and placed it on the table to cool. Su Huan didn't like food that was too hot; room temperature or iced was better. However, if you put freshly cooked hot porridge in the refrigerator, the rice grains would become hard and the taste would be bad.

If you leave it to air dry now, the timing will be perfect.

Then add some freshly sliced ​​beef, seafood, and freeze-dried vegetables to the congee.

This is what other people's breakfast is like.

Of course, breakfast shouldn't just consist of porridge; there should also be other types of noodles or pastries.

Taking care of breakfast for more than a dozen people is not an easy task, but for Yu Yue it is much easier than dealing with patients' families.

Various kitchen utensils were exchanged in her hands with an orderly rhythm.

After preparing breakfast for everyone, it was already 2:20.

He took out his Night Owl X7 from the cabinet next to him, checked it according to He Jie's instructions, and then pressed the armor-piercing rounds into the magazine one by one.

Even though I had never handled firearms before, I felt an extraordinary sense of calm whenever I picked up this cold killing machine.

It was even more effective than the meditation her university professors taught her.

Primary weapon, secondary weapon, grenades, tactical vest...

Yu Yue put on her gear one by one, carefully wrapping all her fingers with bandages, leaving only her slender fingertips exposed.

After thinking for a moment, he went to carriage number 3 and retrieved two recovery potions, carefully placing them on his person.

As soon as I returned to the dining car, I heard the door to carriage number one open.

The train conductor, with his long, disheveled hair, came to the dining car and looked slightly surprised when he saw her appearance.

Before he could even speak, she interjected, "I want to go on a mission with you."

She didn't want to stay in the carriage anymore.

……

Although the plain congee had no seasonings, it was still sweet and delicious.

Just like Yu Yue in front of me without makeup.

The night outside the window was still dark, and the inducing agent lasted a little longer than he had expected. Yu Yue in front of him had changed into a clean pair of high-elasticity black jeans, the ends of which were tucked into tactical boots. Her rounded legs were together, exuding a faint elegance.

The clothes were similar, but they gave off a completely different vibe compared to how He Jie, a rough-looking man, wore them.

How did you know I was going out?

Su Huan asked calmly.

"Guess."

Yu Yue lowered her eyes, looking obedient.

But the train conductor just couldn't stand her humiliating appearance today. He leaned forward, lifted his rounded chin, and forced her to look him in the eye, saying with a half-smile, "If I die, no one will force you anymore. Isn't that better?"

Yu Yue was already used to Su Huan's sarcastic remarks; he always said the opposite of what he meant.

In the past, she would have been embarrassed and remained silent when faced with this kind of question.

But she didn't want to see Su Huan leave alone; the time spent waiting in the carriage was too unbearable.

"not good."

The train shuddered, causing the white porridge in the bowl to sway gently, the overlapping shadows in the bowl blurry and tender.
