Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 204 Landslide
Different sensor lights inside the car lit up in sequence, providing gentle illumination to the cabin.

The man's body lay face up on the ground, a blank expression on his face.

Yu Jing removed the magazine and inserted another one. The design of the Iron Eagle series pistols has carried on the tradition of Donghuang Tuntunshu, with a 20-round double-stack double-feed magazine as standard.

A series of muffled thuds came from outside the train, and the train trembled slightly.

Given the current armor thickness and sound insulation design of the train, if such a clear impact sound could be heard inside the train, then there must have been a landslide and tsunami outside.

Ignoring the six people behind her with their varying expressions, Yu Jing answered the call request from the command center at the front of the vehicle.

"This is the train control tower. We've seen a situation with Chief Train Attendant Yu through the monitors. We've already notified the emergency response team, and they're on their way immediately..."

"What is the water flow rate outside? What is the extent of the damage caused to the train by the mutated beasts?"

Yu Jing interrupted the conversation and asked directly.

"The water flow speed exceeded 8 m/s, reaching the level of a dam-break flood. There were only two second-tier mutant beasts in the mutated beast horde. They only tentatively attacked the train before being attracted away and did not cause any damage to the train."

Yu Jing calmly said, "After the water flow stabilizes, we will conduct positioning and detection, then switch the train to ship mode, float to the surface, and prepare to pick up the people on the mountain."

"Yes, I will transmit the location detection information and related intelligence to your terminal."

A series of heavy footsteps came from the corridor behind him, followed by Lao San's increasingly similar tone to He Jie's.

"Which bastard dares to rebel? I'll twist his head off and stuff it into—"

The third brother pushed open the manual partition door, looked at the corpse on the ground, and his voice stopped abruptly. His heart jumped into his throat.

A pair of eyes frantically searched the mechanical carriage until they saw Yu Jing inside, unharmed, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

The dignified chief flight attendant's legs suddenly felt weak.

"Boss, the man is dead!"

"Bullshit! Drag this damned son of a bitch out and chop him up to feed the dogs!"

The third brother said angrily.

The soldiers in the combat team behind him dragged the body off the ground and skillfully cleaned up the bloodstains.

They were all elite soldiers; in short, they were extremely professional.

“There’s another one here.” Yu Jing pointed to another man whose face still showed signs of fear. “He said he’s from the Tongzhou Society.”

The third brother looked up at the man, his eyes red.

The train conductor handed over the combat team protecting the train to his brothers, but no sooner had he left than some people on the train started causing trouble.

Thank goodness Yu Jing killed that man. If anything had happened to Yu Jing today, he wouldn't know how he would face Su Huan!

Thinking of this, the third brother broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and the anger that followed made the muscles on his face twitch slightly. "Leave it to me."

Looking at the third brother's ferocious face, the man turned to Yu Jing and pleaded, "Chief conductor, I only joined to make a living. I've never done anything to betray the train. Please, don't kill me..."

Yu Jing put the pistol into its holster. "Let's wait until the train conductor returns before making a decision about his matter. I'm going to change my clothes. You can bring some people with you to meet him later."

Hearing Yu Jing's words, the third brother calmed down a bit and took a deep breath, "I'm available anytime."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down excitedly, "Thank you, flight attendant, thank you..."

Yu Jing sighed inwardly and went up to the second floor.

Because the train carriages have been widened considerably, a small rest area has been added on the second floor. It's called a rest area, but it's actually a liftable mechanical workbench covered with a failed refining elastic material that faintly displays scale-like patterns.

Yu Jing opened the cabinet on the side, inside which hung several separate black high-elastic fiber tactical suits.

The order of the iterations reveals the version.

She stood in front of the mirror, her fingertips lightly tracing the zipper of her tactical uniform, tightening it upwards.

The tactical vest fits like a second skin, outlining sharp shoulder and back lines, while the waist is cinched like a bow, making the wearer appear even more imposing.

The only slightly discordant element is the flexible armor embedded in the joints, which makes it look less smooth.

He fastened the holster on his leg, turned and walked outside; the Engineer-I was already poised for action.

Five minutes later, the underwater armed train suddenly shuddered.

The robotic arms that had drilled into the ground and were fixed to the outside of the carriage emerged from the mud and retracted onto the carriage like the tentacles of a centipede.

The muddy floodwater on the surface of the carriage began to vibrate.

If you look down from Wangjiang Peak, you can see a huge shadow emerging from the slightly calmer water surface, a shadow so large that even the turbid floodwaters cannot cover it.

A deep, whale-like whistle sounded as the armed train broke through the water's surface and floated steadily. Thanks to the balancing design by numerous experts, the armed train only swayed slightly, and the bridge connections did not twist into a pretzel.

The torrential rain is still falling, and the floodwaters have already submerged the scenic area buildings at the foot of Wangjiang Peak.

Only the spire of the tollbooth stubbornly protrudes above the water.

Propelled by propellers, the locomotive of the armed train rolled over the large characters "Wangjiang Peak Climbing Entrance" and headed towards Wangjiang Peak.

Fully armed, Yu Jing stood on the roof of the vehicle with her third and second brothers and the soldiers of the combat team.

Wiping away the raindrops, Yu Jing frowned as she looked at the data on the exoskeleton display screen.

Turning to his third brother behind him, he warned, "The water at the foot of the mountain is more than twelve meters deep, and in the low-lying areas it is more than thirty meters deep. Be careful not to fall in."

The third brother, also wearing an Engineer-I type exoskeleton and holding a large bundle of ropes, was directing the soldiers to secure him when he suddenly pointed at Wangjiang Peak and asked, "Have people come down from the mountain?"

Yu Jing squinted and looked up, but the torrential rain made it impossible to see clearly.

The faint gunshots were drowned out by the deafening roar.

Only the searchlights on the mountaintop shone steadily.

"Turn on the lights!"

The third brother roared.

Soldiers immediately contacted the command center inside the vehicle, and searchlights on the roof were turned on one by one, illuminating the side of Wangjiang Peak.

Upon seeing the situation above, everyone gasped in shock.

The lush vegetation was filled with mutated beasts, hanging layer upon layer on the mountainside. However, they no longer had the bloody and cruel appearance of the past. They trembled as they looked at the flood below the mountain, as if recalling the fear deep in their genes.

Meanwhile, a squad of soldiers clung to the ropes, climbing down while firing at the mutated beasts that suddenly charged out from both sides.

Every now and then, people are torn apart by mutated beasts and tumble down the mountain.

"cover!"

Yu Jing fired first, the heavy machine gun on her back pointed at a mutated silverback gorilla, bullets whizzing out.

The combat team members on the armed train quickly opened fire to provide cover for the soldiers descending the mountain.

A series of agonizing roars suddenly echoed from the mountain.

With support, the casualty rate of the soldiers descending the mountain decreased rapidly.

Amid the chaos, Yu Jing fired her gun while calling out to Yu Yue.

"Xiao Jing, I'm fine."

A slightly hurried voice suddenly rang in Yu Jing's ears.

Yu Jing felt slightly relieved. "Let the train continue to approach the mountain!"

Because communication equipment has not yet been made lightweight, and once off the train, there are no wires connecting them, commands can only be transmitted in the most primitive way.

--roar.

A soldier ran over and shouted, "The command post said that if we get too close, we'll crash into the mountain!"

"Then let's crash into it!"

A sharp glint flashed in Yu Jingfeng's eyes.

The train slowly approached the mountainside.

It must have bumped into something underwater, making a screeching sound.

"Oh!"

They still crashed into the mountain, and everyone on the roof of the car staggered.

Yu Jing activated the suction cups under her exoskeleton, which immediately and firmly adhered to the roof of the car.

One by one, the mutated beasts jumped onto the roof of the vehicle and began a fierce battle with the combat team members.

The muzzle flash even outshone the searchlight on the roof of the vehicle.

The soldiers on the mountain also threw down ropes and connected them to the train.

The lead goat leaped down from a height of over five meters, landing squarely on the deck. It rolled several times to dissipate the impact, then collapsed onto the deck. The third brother, along with several soldiers, rushed to its aid, asking, "Are you still alive?"

The goat squinted to avoid getting rainwater in its eyes.

The flashes of gunfire illuminated several heads huddled together; they were all familiar faces from the Steel Council.

Strangely enough, he had previously looked down on these eliminated soldiers in the Steel Council.

He was also dissatisfied when he was caught on the train.

But circumstances are beyond our control, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Today, unexpectedly returning to the train, I felt a sense of warmth seeing them again.

It felt like returning to the old military camp.

He sighed softly, "I've missed you all so much..."

Everyone scoffed in unison, "Tch~"

Third brother: "Still so mushy at a time like this! Disgusting!"

Several soldiers around him laughed and reached out their hands to him.

Looking at the hands, the goat was momentarily dazed, then grabbed them and flipped himself up. "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you! I almost got eaten alive by the monkeys up there!"

The third brother tossed him an assault rifle, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and help."

The soldiers behind them jumped down one by one.

They then joined the cover and quickly killed the mutated beast that had jumped onto the vehicle.

Once Yu Yue and Xiao Ba came down, the five hundred soldiers also successfully descended the mountain.

Yu Jing glanced around the empty mountain, her delicate brows furrowing. "Mom, why are there so few people? Where are Su Huan and He Jie?"

Yu Yue lowered her eyes, twisting her fingers anxiously. "They're still on the mountain, and they haven't found the item yet..."

"Rumble..."

Everyone's hearts trembled as they saw the peak of Wangjiang Peak slowly sliding down as if it had been slashed diagonally.

The mountain collapsed!
The boulder crashed into the water, creating terrifying waves that swept wildly in all directions.

Yu Jing looked towards the summit of Wangjiang Peak, her gaze deep.

"Get back in the car quickly!"

……

Half an hour before the landslide.

A group of evolved beings frantically dug in waist-deep water on the mountaintop.

Rainwater poured into the pit.

If these people weren't all at least at the first level, they wouldn't even be able to dig a hole under these circumstances; they could drown themselves if they lost their footing.

Suddenly, accompanied by the shaking of the mountain, the water in the pit sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A small vortex formed in the middle.

"We've found it! We've found it! There really is a fissure in Wangjiang Peak!" the experts from Deep Blue Data shouted excitedly.

Heywood threw down the shovel and collapsed into the mud with a sigh of relief.

Even HT-426 disregarded his image and sat down.

Those of them with exoskeletons don't expend much physical energy, but they experience a lot of psychological pressure.

Su Huan stood silently by the pit, his murderous eyes occasionally sweeping over the backs of the necks of the crowd.

Liang Kuan and the others were alright; they knew he was their boss.

But Black Kite and Deep Blue Data dared not even stop, let alone slack off. Seeing that the people around them were digging fast, they had to speed up as well. And when others saw that they were fast, they had to be even faster!

It's not that they want to get involved.

One of the DeepBlue Data employees was killed on the spot by Su Huan simply because he stopped a few times.

A thunderstorm can turn people into carbonized bodies.

Now that we've found something, we can finally survive.

"Come up."

Su Huan finally spoke.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as everyone climbed out, a gurgling sound suddenly came from the pit, as if due to too much rainwater.

It was like Wangjiang Peak letting out a burp.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt the ground in front of them rise.

And the speed is getting faster and faster.

"This is……"

"The mountain is falling!"

"Grass!"

The group frantically ran towards the other side.

Su Huan kept looking straight ahead. As the ground beneath his feet continued to collapse, a huge hollow in the mountain appeared before him, and a bright green tree branch firmly caught his eye.

"Thunder Pool".

Lightning illuminated the sky and earth, accompanied by the accelerated slide of the mountain.

Like a hidden paradise unfolding before him, a giant crown pear tree finally appeared.

Although not as huge as in its previous life, the diameter of its canopy still exceeds twenty meters.

It reaches a height of forty meters.

Basketball-sized, bright yellow pears hung on it, swaying gently with the earthquake.

A rich, pervasive energy fluctuation emanated from the top layer upon layer.

No wonder I couldn't find it even after searching the whole mountain.

It turns out this tree was hidden inside the mountain!

Su Huan moved, leaping upwards against gravity at a terrifying speed.

But faster than him was a dark figure.

"Thorn-"

The murderous intent in Su Huan's eyes flashed and disappeared in a flash of lightning. The lightning whip was directly hung around his neck. This time, he held nothing back, and a violent current surged forth.

The severely wounded Zhao Kuo lost all hope in mid-air and fell headlong down the mountain.

Su Huan then stepped over his corpse and jumped onto the crown pear tree.

HT-426 and the others above silently watched this scene, thinking, "Madman."

With no intention of seeking revenge, they quickly descended the mountain along the other side.

It is only when the strength is equal that it is called a contest.

With Su Huan's strength, killing them now is no more troublesome than electrocuting a mosquito.

While he's busy right now, why not run away instead of staying as a prisoner?
Even if they are swept away by the flood, their chances of survival are greater than if they fall into Su Huan's hands!

Lin Jin and the others stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down with worry.

Su Huan's soft voice pierced through the rain and reached everyone's ears clearly, "You should also go down the mountain and meet up with Yu Jing and the others."

Only then did everyone leave.

Meanwhile, Su Huan, standing on a tree trunk as thick as a water bucket, had already picked a bright yellow pear.

Looking at the crown pear in his hand, his entire body, with its 36,000 pores, seemed to have grown mouths, frantically clamoring and urging him to bite down.

Without any hesitation, I took a bite.
