Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 154 "Audio Shooter"

Su Huan agreed to bring Yu Yue along.

Her abilities are quite useful if they aren't countered or restrained.

Moreover, Yu Yue has now been promoted to the first rank.

比较令他头疼的是俞悦又进化出来一个技能，五个技能分别是：lv3「声波亲和」、lv2「共享声场」、lv1「声波标记」、lv1「狙击专精」、lv1「弹道计算」。

What's even more surprising is that these five skills actually allowed her to combine them into a new Tier 1 class.

Su Huan had never seen this profession before, and couldn't even find a suitable reference.

He felt like he had held her back. If he hadn't given her that "Precision Shooter" skill potion, his aunt might have already become a master.

It's difficult to even reach the second level now.

Having five skills means she has to consume more universal energy crystals than others, and she also needs to gather four new skills at the second tier that can be combined with the previous five skills.

Su Huan, on the other hand, only needs to upgrade two new skills to level 3 to advance to the second tier.

However, at the first tier, the five skills are basically overwhelming.

The three sound wave skills cover attack, perception, tracking, and sharing, and when they work together, they have a synergistic effect that is greater than the sum of their parts. Unlike Su Huan's general perception, which can only identify targets with general abilities and is helpless when encountering inanimate objects without general abilities, Yu Yue's perception and reconnaissance skills are top-notch.

Needless to say, the two sniping skills are the best choice for quickly creating a warrior.

With this combination of skills, if the distance is increased to more than 300 meters, Su Huan would have to run away with his head in his hands.

"Let's call it 'Audio Shooter,' it's just a name anyway."

Su Huan thought for a moment, then pulled over the restaurant's surveillance screen and entered the new profession into the database.

Yu Yue didn't have any particular idea about naming her job and obediently agreed.

Then Su Huan quickly switched the monitoring screens, and found that most of the footage was intact, except for a few carriages.

The number of passengers was severely damaged, and the total number of deaths dropped to around 800.

Especially in the last section, almost everyone was dead. If it weren't for the quick reinforcements from the third brother and the others, the entire carriage would have been torn apart by that second-tier ridge dog.

The number of Ridgehounds is much smaller than that of Bloodhounds, but their combat power is far superior to the latter, making them quite powerful among their peers.

Its distinctive feature is its exposed back, which is covered with a row of menacing barbs.

After advancing to the second tier and forming the Corpse Armor, its defense is astonishing, its speed is fast, and its attack power is fierce. The combination of these three qualities is a problem even for modern squads equipped with firearms.

In their past lives, the Steel Council always used overwhelming firepower when encountering something like this; trying to rely on a few grenades would be virtually impossible.

Unless, like Su Huan, you compress it, throw it in your mouth, give it a concussion, and then run it over by a train weighing thousands of tons, making it glide along the tracks for a while.

What made Su Huan frown was the carriage itself. After being bombed by the Steel Council and attacked by the zombie horde, the carriage was twisted and deformed in many places, and one of the bogies seemed to have a problem.

If another battle of the same intensity were to occur, it would probably fall apart.

Lin Jin walked out of the room, and his first words were, "I'm going to save my sister."

Su Huan lay on his side on the sofa and asked casually, "How much of your internal energy has recovered?"

"About 30%."

"You'd better stay in the car. Too little energy in an evolved being can cause mental instability and weakness. If you go out now, the enemy sniper can take you out with one shot."

Lin Jin clenched his fists. He wasn't angry at Su Huan, but at himself.

Despite having become an evolved being, he couldn't do anything right. He wanted to protect his teammates, but they all died before his eyes. He wanted to help guard the train, but he was shot by snipers and had to flee in panic.

From then on, I could only do some minor, peripheral work.

The thought of his sister being foolishly sent to the company to be used for human experimentation, and the fact that he could do nothing about it, filled him with guilt that burned in his heart like a flame.

The pain made his whole body go numb.

The thought that Su Huan, despite his dying body, still had to drag himself to save his sister...

Lin Jin suddenly paused for a moment and looked up at Su Huan in front of him.

He was sitting sideways, sipping a bowl of congee in one hand and swiping the screen with the other. If it weren't for the gruesome penetrating wound on his hand, it would be hard to imagine that he had just gone through a fierce battle and was now seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"But you haven't recovered yet, have you?"

"Yes, about 40%."

"It's only a ten percent more than mine, isn't it just as dangerous for you to go?"

“Vessential containers are different, and people are different too. My energy at 40% is probably equivalent to three of you at your peak.”

Su Huan replied casually while checking the train information.

The near-death state promoted evolution, causing his attributes to increase significantly in all aspects, and he is now close to the second-order level.

However, due to genetic breakdown, it is now declining.

The generated skills are no longer stable. But to Lin Jin, this comparison meant, "At 40% strength, you could probably one-shot three of your peak combat power."

Is this what a true evolutionary powerhouse is like...?

The reason I couldn't protect my sister is ultimately because I was too weak.

"I understand."

Lin Jin turned and walked away. He needed more battles; only then could he catch up with Su Huan.

Su Huan glanced at him questioningly. 'What did he understand?'

I handled the matter briefly on the system, and then gathered a few people separately.

The purpose of this infiltration of headquarters is to take advantage of the chaos to catch them off guard, rescue He Jie and his family, and resolve the issue of the Gene Prototype.

Meanwhile, people cannot leave the train; it must continue moving forward during the period when the inducer has completely dissipated.

So only four people were taken out: He Jie, Jiang Rong, Yu Yue, and Liang Kuan.

Liang Kuan and Jiang Rong were paired with Yu Yue; both of them have calm personalities, making it extremely unlikely that they would run away.

He Jie is missing his wife terribly right now. He'll either go on this trip alone or he absolutely has to bring her along.

After exchanging a few simple words, it was already 2:30.

After the others left, only Yu Yue, who had been prepared, remained in the restaurant to accompany Su Huan.

A call icon suddenly appeared on the monitor screen.

Su Huan clicked on it out of curiosity, and Yu Jing's voice came from the other end.

"Call the train conductor."

"Hmm, has the vehicle-wide communication system been set up?"

"Only a few carriages have the ability to call the dining car and carriage number 1; other carriages only have one-way communication."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"The new Scavenger Exoskeleton - Type I is ready."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Su Huan hung up the call, lay back on the sofa, and tapped his forehead with two fingers alternately.

It relieved the waves of dizziness that arose for no reason.

A rustling sound rang out, and soft fingers landed on his temples, pressing with just the right amount of pressure.

……

Five minutes later, the group regrouped in the food truck.

"The headquarters of the Steel Council is located in a comprehensive heavy manufacturing base. It was originally an industrial area of ​​many companies. After the outbreak of the apocalypse, it was all swallowed up by the Steel Council, which retained most of the smelting and manufacturing plants. Most importantly, there was a military vehicle assembly line in it, which is why there are a large number of armed vehicles."

Su Huan pointed to the industrial area on the map and explained.

'That damn God's-eye view again.'

He Jie sat expressionlessly to the side, watching Su Huan explain the Steel Conference Headquarters on the screen.

The headquarters of the Steel Council is a flat, inverted trapezoid, surrounded by a confluence of railways and highways.

Before the apocalypse, this location was excellent, with few residential areas, farmland, or forests nearby, and very convenient transportation.

However, flat terrain is not an advantage in the apocalypse, coupled with a single industry and scarce other resources, which is why the Steel Council plans to build a new city in Changli County.

Four years later, the headquarters had become a purely military industrial area, which was somewhat different from what it is now.

After He Jie supplemented the plan, the entire plan was finalized.

The armed train will bypass the heavy industrial area by taking a long detour and then continue north.

The inducing agent was almost worn off, and the hundreds of thousands of zombies gathering behind them would soon attack the heavy industrial area.

The group charged in from the front, passed through the defense zone and manufacturing zone, and then split into two groups. Su Huan went to the research base on the left, while He Jie and the others went to the family quarters on the right. They finally met at the freight station on the north side, and the armed train arrived around that time.

The whole plan will take about forty minutes.

"If there's nothing else to add, let's set off now."

Su Huan grinned, his fine teeth clenched, the blood-stained white teeth stark and glaring.

The two killers climbing the train were suddenly blown apart by a rocket launcher.

Lu Xiao's team's pickup truck sped out of the trailer, and He Jie, who was carrying a silver motorcycle and wielding two light machine guns, stood in the truck bed.

The violent bullet chain tore apart the nearest zombies and sped away.
