Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 229 Where are you going?

With a beautiful woman beside him, Qi Zhiyuan still suppressed his anger and forced out a few cold words through gritted teeth, "And who are you? You look a little unfamiliar."

A dozen or so young men emerged from the crowd, holding steel pipes and daggers, and looked at Su Huan in the middle with cold smiles, as if to add weight to Qi Zhiyuan's words and to increase the pressure on the two reckless young men in the middle.

The bartenders remained silent, but subtly positioned themselves near the door.

Seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed in the cold and indifferent eyes of those around them.

I anticipate the violence that is to come.

Xiao Dong felt his legs go weak and he couldn't muster any strength.

I wanted to slap myself two minutes ago. I should have just finished preparing the food and run away with everyone.

Now it's all over. Not only will he get beaten up, but he'll also drag Su Huan down with him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dong, emboldened by some unknown source, argued in a trembling voice, "This is his first time in the shelter. I was blind to bring him here. If you want to hit someone, hit me instead."

Qi Zhiyuan laughed in anger. A little brat dared to protect someone in front of him. His expression suddenly turned cold.

"Get out of the way! Doesn't he have a mouth? Long-haired kid, I'm asking you, who are you?!"

Qi Zhiyuan's face was full of malice. No matter what Su Huan said, he was determined to humiliate him severely today.

With his limited understanding, he believed that only in this way could he regain face in front of Zhang Min and demonstrate the class difference between himself and Su Huan!
"Train conductor..."

Qi Zhiyuan sneered, "And who the hell is the train conductor—"

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong. The voice wasn't coming from Su Huan in front of him, but from a clear female voice in his ear.

Qi Zhiyuan turned his head back in surprise, only to see the woman who had always been indifferent to him like a blooming peony, her eyebrows relaxed, her eyes almost overflowing with spring water, her shimmering gaze making him lose his mind.

But the thought that the smile wasn't for him drove Qi Zhiyuan to the brink of madness with jealousy.

Despite being the center of everyone's attention, Su Huan showed no awareness that the turmoil was caused by him. His gaze remained fixed on the bowl in front of him, as if he were making some important decision.

After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out two fingers and grabbed the bread slice that was slightly burnt from being fried in oil.

The moment I touched the greasy substance, my brows furrowed.

Then, with lightning speed, he placed the meat patty into the bread, covered it with the last slice of bread, handed it to Xiao Dong beside him, and said earnestly, "The bread tastes best when it's freshly fried; it'll get soft later."

Xiao Dong stiffly turned his head, looking at the simple sandwich in Su Huan's hand and the cold gazes around him. All the courage he had just mustered was crushed.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Brother, you really are my brother.

At this point, you might not even be able to save your leg, and you're still thinking about eating!

"Try it."

Su Huan then held the sandwich to his mouth again.

Xiao Dong took a bite with tears in his eyes.

Ugh... It smells so good.

Zhang Min stepped forward, her supple waist, characteristic of a young woman just reaching adulthood, filling Su Huan's field of vision. "Train conductor, it's been a long time!"

Qi Zhiyuan suppressed his emotions and forced a smile, "Minmin, do you know this person?"

Su Huan then raised his eyelids, looked at the two of them, and smiled gently, "Long time no see, your taste seems to have declined somewhat."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Min's smile froze on her face, and her long, loose hair slowly floated up.

Her clear, gem-like eyes instantly turned a deep red as if filled with blood. She raised her hand and placed it on Qi Zhiyuan's chest, who was like a leech. Even though the latter had evolved, he was still sent flying like a bowling ball by the pure power of a first-tier evolver.

Amidst astonished gazes, Qi Zhiyuan smashed down more than a dozen onlookers.

This caused a chorus of wails.

The incident happened so suddenly that even his henchmen were stunned, holding their sticks and unsure whether to avenge Young Master Qi or rescue the person first.

"Quickly, what are you standing there for? Save Young Master Qi first!"

What should we do with this woman?

"Shut up!"

"..."

The sudden violence, coupled with the fact that it was Qi Zhiyuan who was beaten, did not cause panic among the crowd; instead, it excited them even more.

There's clearly a story behind this!

What is the most despairing thing in the apocalypse?
No food or water?

No, it's boredom!
It's living a life without stories, without meaning!

The crowd erupted into even more excited discussions, accompanied by the cries of the injured and the shouts of Qi Zhiyuan's men, instantly turning the quiet bar into a lively scene.

Su Huan shaded his forehead with one hand, glanced at Qi Zhiyuan's position, and clicked his tongue, saying, "Xiao Min, you're too heavy-handed. You can't be so cruel even to your own man."

Zhang Min trembled with anger, gritting her teeth as she said, "No!"

"Even if it's his fault, this shouldn't be done..."

Zhang Min took a deep breath, no longer dwelling on the topic, "Aren't you curious how I got here?"

Su Huan blinked. "A bit. By the way, how did you survive the zombie horde?"

Zhang Min instinctively wanted to recount how she had thrillingly escaped the zombie horde, how she had been unlucky enough to fall into the iron-eating tree, and how she had ended up in the flood zone... Any one of these experiences would be thrilling enough for an 18-year-old girl.

While other girls were enjoying the company of their parents, she wandered amidst the howling hordes of corpses and the desires of the crowd.

Fear and anxiety clung to her like maggots, and if it weren't for her unwavering devotion to Su Huan, she would have given up long ago.

She spent her 18th and 19th years amidst such chaos and turmoil.
But looking into Su Huan's calm eyes, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

I have so much to say, but it's stuck in my throat and I just can't get it out.

Zhang Min downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, trying to flush away the obstruction in her throat.

His smile was bitter. "It's nothing, I was just a bit lucky, luckier than those who died, and I survived by sheer chance."

"Thank you so much for your hard work."

The man's voice was low and deep, but it struck Zhang Min like a thunderclap.

The explosion left her body numb and her mind reeling.

The resentment stuck in my throat and the grievances suppressed in my heart all surged out in an instant.

Her long-suppressed hatred was shattered by this one sentence.

A mix of indescribable emotions welled up in my eyes in an instant.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Dong was initially a little scared, but as he ate, he grew bolder. When he saw Qi Zhiyuan being slapped away by Zhang Min, he was only surprised for a second.

Then, expressionless, he picked up the small bottle of cola and drank half of it in one gulp.

Although he couldn't understand the relationship between the group, one thing was certain.

Dare to fight Qi Zhiyuan.

This woman is very capable; she has a very impressive background.

So Su Huan, who knows this woman, must be really awesome.

The logic was a bit convoluted, but stimulated by the food, Xiao Dong felt his barren brain become active again.

Su Huan raised his eyelids, looking at the woman's appearance, completely baffled.

It's just a simple polite remark, isn't it?
As for such a big reaction, it's as if you've done something to her.

"Cough cough!"

Just as everyone was getting to the crucial moment of the drama, Qi Zhiyuan, who was at the back of the crowd, let out several violent coughs.

With the help of his men, he sat up, half-dead, and saw the two people standing opposite him. His eyes were filled with resentment that was almost dripping out.

The handsome men and beautiful women, in particular, stung his heart.

Pointing at the two of them, he hysterically shouted, "Whoever kills that man and feeds him to the fish, I'll make him an evolved being!"

The moment the shrill cry rang out, not only his men but even the onlookers in the bar turned their eyes on Su Huan with blatant lust.

But the three people at the center of the storm paid no attention.

One person was eating voraciously, while the other two engaged in casual, uninteresting conversation. "You can't say things like that."

"What?"

Do you know what I went through after I got off the bus?

Zhang Min looked up at him, a storm brewing in the shadows cast by her eyelashes.

Su Huan's eyes flickered. Based on his experience from his previous life, it wouldn't be surprising what kind of outcome the other party could have under those circumstances.

"I know."

"you do not know."

Two lines of clear tears silently slid down her cheeks. Zhang Min clearly felt that the resentment she had accumulated had melted away with these two easy words.

This was the first time she had ever hated herself so much.

If I forgive him like this, what does all the suffering I've endured matter?
What is that pitiful self-esteem that's so desperately maintained?!

"Okay, I don't know..."

Su Huan said helplessly.

Women are such a hassle. When facing enemies, he prefers someone like Gao Zhe, who fights him with real swords and spears!

Just like that guy named Qi Zhiyuan in the corner.

And then there are those hostile gazes all around.

This is the atmosphere he's familiar with.

A faint whooshing sound rang out, and someone, unable to contain themselves, threw over a dagger.

As if it were a signal, the entire bar instantly erupted in chaos.

Regardless of gender, they all rushed towards Su Huan's position with bloodshot eyes.

The first to be affected was the bartender, Yin Yang Su Huan.

Just as Zhang Min was about to dispel everyone's negative emotions, everyone who was within two meters of Su Huan stopped in their tracks, frantically patting themselves in the air, their mouths agape, looking utterly terrified.

Because the body was still in intense exercise just a second ago, there was no time to hold one's breath, and the remaining oxygen in the chest cavity was simply not enough for the body to consume.

He instantly rolled his eyes and fainted.

Zhang Min's red eyes glistened with tears as she frowned and looked towards the bar entrance.

Xiao Dong, who had been crouching down with his head in his hands, opened his eyes and saw a pair of long, almost arrogant legs wrapped in black stockings, walking towards the inside of the bar. Every step seemed to have been measured with a ruler, precisely stepping to the beat of a heartbeat.

The black pencil skirt gleamed coolly under the bar lights, like silk soaked in the night.

What a beautiful woman.

Although Xiao Dong is not yet old enough to appreciate women, he still couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The fallen crowd did not cause Shu Wei any trouble.

As a professional secretary, even if she were standing on a human body, her steps would not sway unexpectedly.

Shu Wei stopped half a meter away from Su Huan, then stepped back half a body length and respectfully said, "Train conductor."

Only after her voice faded did the surrounding air begin to circulate.

Those attackers, barely holding on, were like live fish writhing on the shore, mouths agape, each one breathing in the fresh air with utter exhaustion.

His expression was ferocious and distorted.

"Ah."

Su Huan responded with a faint "yes".

Zhang Min seemed stunned the moment Shu Wei walked in.

His jewel-like pupils were wide with shock and disbelief.

His gaze remained fixed on Shu Wei.

Appearance, figure, temperament... I subconsciously compared them, and I lost in every aspect.

Zhang Min only came to her senses upon hearing Shu Wei's voice.

Her once vibrant lower lip was now completely bloodless from being bitten.

She couldn't understand why such a beautiful woman would be so subservient to Su Huan.

Su Huan, he...

Besides being handsome and capable, there's a train that's now nowhere to be found.

He has no morals whatsoever, he's as awful as can be. Why would such a beautiful woman be with him?

Can't we choose something else?

Obviously...

She was the one who met Su Huan first!
Why am I standing opposite him instead of beside him?
Shu Wei was also sizing up Zhang Min. As the head of an artist management company, her gaze was much more imposing.

Zhang Min is about the same age as Yu Jing, but the latter is the slender and strong type.

She shows signs of having studied dance; her figure is supple and graceful, her frame is delicate, and her appearance has undergone subtle adjustments to reach the eight-point threshold.

Their most prominent characteristic is their youth.

The downside is that it has a strange temperament, with a kind of flamboyant yet gloomy madness.

Surprisingly, she's a good match for someone.

At this moment, her poignant beauty with two lines of clear tears on her face could absolutely captivate countless men.

Unfortunately, it was quite unfortunate.

Based on her judgment, Su Huan probably didn't like this kind of naivety.

She has a deep understanding of this.

As for the relationship between the two...

There's no need to make judgments; it's all based on a woman's intuition.

She could sense that there was a very long story between Zhang Min and the train conductor.

But they are all one-sided.

Glancing at Su Huan's heartless appearance, Shu Wei cursed him as a scumbag in her heart and felt a little sympathy for Zhang Min.

She suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why did I suddenly feel sympathy when I was the one examining the other person?
Shu Wei, noticing something amiss, was startled and looked sharply at Zhang Min, "You are a first-tier evolver."

Zhang Min covered her mouth and giggled, her tear tracks still visible on her face. "Yes, is Auntie the same?"

Shu Wei looked at her coldly, "You can manipulate emotions."

Unexpectedly, she figured out her background in just a few words. Zhang Min didn't waste her time on her. Her abilities were always effective against people of lower rank than her.

However, it is not very effective against opponents of the same or even stronger level.

After this little incident, Zhang Min calmed down a lot, looked at Su Huan, and made a decision.

"I will no longer follow you or cause you any trouble."

Su Huan looked puzzled. "You've caused me trouble before?"

Zhang Min paused slightly, her teeth clenched tightly.

That bastard is always so infuriating.

He said coldly, "But I will still hate you. That's the source of my power, and the only motivation for me to live."

Su Huan patted Zhang Min on the shoulder regretfully, "You can come with me."

Zhang Min's heart skipped a beat as she listened to his words, and she didn't dodge the hand on her shoulder.

He gritted his teeth and said, "No, from now on, we'll each go our own way."

"Where are you going?!"

An angry voice boomed through the bar like thunder.
