Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 230 Open the door, free trade!

The wind and rain outside were pouring down, howling and pounding against the windowpane.

An old man with a white beard, carrying a shotgun, stormed in angrily.

Looking at the chaotic bar, his broad chest heaved.

Shouted loudly.

"Where are you going?!"

Su Huan turned around and looked at the still vigorous old man, a hint of seriousness finally appearing in his eyes.

After all, the Tieshan shelter has an armory, and there might be some deadly weapons inside.

I originally wanted to do more research, but I didn't expect to meet the person in question so soon.

The people around seemed to have found their pillar of support and quickly gathered behind Old Man Tie. Qi Zhiyuan's men even carried him over.

"Why are you here?"

Qi Tieshan frowned as he saw Qi Zhiyuan being carried over.

Qi Zhiyuan and his men shrank back.

"Sir, I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out for a walk with Ah Ming and the others, and then..."

"So you ended up fighting over a girl and still couldn't win?"

Seeing his grandfather's ashen face, Qi Zhiyuan's face twitched, and he felt a sense of foreboding.

My grandfather is quite old-fashioned. While other families enjoy a close and harmonious relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, he insists on using military discipline to govern his family.

The Qi family has clearly occupied an entire shelter, but their lives are no different from before the apocalypse, or even worse.

Even he, the only son, couldn't get a decent meal.

He complained twice, once when his father beat him, and once when his father and grandfather gave him a double beating.

Buying on credit is a minor issue, but if his family finds out that he's bullying people in the shelter by taking advantage of their family background, he'll be in serious trouble, if not dead.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhiyuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Under such intense pressure, my mind suddenly became sharp.

"No, I saw this group of outsiders causing trouble, so I went to break it up. Then they tried to hit me without even asking what happened. That long-haired pretty boy is the worst; he even bullied the children in our shelter..."

"Is that what happened?"

The old man's slightly droopy eyes swept over the bartenders.

The bartender who served Su Huan's food had a glint in his eye. He pointed at Su Huan and shouted, "This guy eats without paying and even threatens me!"

When he said that, the people around him immediately echoed his sentiments.

They hadn't even spoken to Su Huan before they started talking about how arrogant Su Huan was.

Although Su Huan ignored them from beginning to end, doesn't that just prove how arrogant and wicked Su Huan is?

Who Su Huan is is not important.

The important thing is that he offended Qi Zhiyuan.

Apart from a few women who showed pity for Su Huan's face, the rest of the people were secretly gloating.

Seeing that everyone was on his side, Qi Zhiyuan regained his confidence and began to exaggerate how domineering Su Huan was.

But they didn't see the old man's increasingly gloomy face and the deep disappointment in his eyes.

He's lived for seventy-eight years, from the country's most difficult times to its most prosperous period. He's seen far too many people and experienced far too many things. How could he not see through this kid's lies!
"boom!"

Qi Zhiyuan, who was in the middle of talking excitedly, was slapped so hard that he saw stars.

The men carrying him were startled and let go, causing Qi Zhiyuan to fall to the ground in a sorry state.

A burning pain shot through my face, and I was completely stunned.

"Master..."

Old Man Tie looked at his grandson, who had fallen to the ground, with great disappointment. He said, "You can be lustful, and you can be jealous, but you can't run away from your failures like a coward!"

The old man's hoarse, deep voice was filled with anger at their incompetence.

The bartender and others were so frightened by this scene that they dared not utter a sound.

"That's well said, but there's one thing I need to correct: your grandson isn't jealous, he's a simp."

Just as the atmosphere became deathly silent, Su Huan suddenly spoke.

Qi Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head and stared angrily at Su Huan.

Out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Min, who stood gracefully to the side, and the hatred in his heart instantly reached its peak.

"Who are you!"

The old man looked up and stared intently at Su Huan.

Su Huan countered, "You're Qi Tieshan?"

The old man, like an enraged tiger, strode over, pulling the bolt of his shotgun and chambering a bullet.

“Zhiyuan did something wrong and deserves to be punished! But young man, you shouldn’t have caused trouble at the Tieshan Refuge! No matter what you’re relying on, you have to give this old man an explanation today!”

Shu Wei sighed inwardly. Just because of those words, given the train conductor's temper, he would definitely cause a scene today.

I just don't know if this shelter can be saved.

Su Huan repeated, slightly surprised, "Give you an explanation?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but grin, revealing a set of neat and fine teeth that sent chills down one's spine.

The old man's white beard trembled, and just as he was about to raise his shotgun, a hand pressed it down!

It was a giraffe that had just arrived.

Dealing with those few people outside isn't the problem; the problem is finding a place to house them and prevent them from blocking the entrance.

The giraffe only managed to get its hands on the toilets after it had filled all the restrooms on the entire floor.

I happened to witness the old man slapping his own grandson.

In addition, the old man's distinct military bearing made him unable to resist lending a helping hand.

The giraffe's eyes held a warning: "Old squad leader, raising your gun will make things more complicated."

Old Man Tie tugged twice, but couldn't raise the muzzle of his gun. He was furious to the extreme, his hair and beard bristling. He spat on Giraffe's face, "You didn't stand up when the organization needed you most, but instead aided and abetted the evildoers. You dare call me Sergeant? If you were my soldier, I would have shot you dead! For the sake of your past service, get the hell out of my way!"

The giraffe suppressed its anger. If it weren't for that little bit of affection, who would care if you, old man, died!
Anyone who dares to point a gun at the train conductor will suffer the consequences at the entire Tieshan Refuge!
"Don't be angry, maybe that's not what he meant."

The gentle, comforting voice reached Su Huan's ears.

Su Huan fell silent, her tone tinged with curiosity, "I'm not angry, I just want to know what gives him the confidence to insist on order."

The "shared sound field" unfolded in Su Huan's ears.

With light footsteps, he could almost see Yu Yue moving nimbly through the various rooms of the abandoned underground floors, just like a kitten.

Only when Su Huan could no longer hear her movement did he ask softly, "Found it?"

"Ah."

"What model?"

"They are all enclosed cannons. We can't see the specific models, but they are very large."

Su Huan narrowed his eyes. What the armed train lacked most right now was various powerful artillery pieces, and what it feared most was artillery!

With the extreme technological advancements humans had before the apocalypse, let alone ten centimeters, even a solid iron block could be blasted to smithereens.

"You stay there and tell the people in the car to come closer."

"They're almost there."

Su Huan glanced out the window, but couldn't see anything clearly.

The old man and the giraffe were locked in a stalemate.

Even if the former has evolved, it's still just an old man's physical attributes; he simply can't compare to a giraffe at its peak in every aspect.

The latter is also a "defender" who specializes in only one subject.

There are six abilities in total, including a bunch of close-combat abilities.

Aside from the difficulty of promotion, their combat power is overwhelming among evolved individuals who haven't formed a profession.

It's more than enough to suppress the old man.

Qi Jianguo's imposing figure squeezed in through the doorway and saw the two locked in a stalemate.

Its eyes instantly turned red, and it lunged forward, its scaly fists slamming into the giraffe like cannonballs.

Fine scales instantly extended to his chest.

The overwhelming sense of oppression made the giraffe's expression solemn. At the same time, the air at the bar entrance distorted slightly.

But under Qi Jianguo's cover, no one noticed this subtle anomaly.

The invisible figure bypassed the chaotic crowd and walked directly in front of Su Huan, coldly raising the muzzle of its gun.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly noticed that Su Huan and Zhang Min turned to look at him almost simultaneously.

The sight of those two different colored eyes, one black and one red, sent chills down his spine.

'Found!'

Qi Zhendong felt as if he had stepped into empty air, and was suddenly filled with terror.

No one in the entire shelter knew about his abilities, so why were these two able to see him?
A mix of emotions surged up, not only confusing my mind but also disrupting my composure, to the point that I forgot how to maintain my composure.

He just stood there, brandishing a gun, right in front of Su Huan.

"interesting."

Su Huan looked curiously at Zhang Min beside him.

Just as the invisible figure at the door appeared, a burst of energy emanated from her.

Shu Wei, who was standing to the side, changed her expression and instantly withdrew from the air next to the man, snatching the gun from his hand.

The man, unable to breathe fresh air, suddenly awoke, his mouth agape, his hands clutching his neck as he knelt on the ground.

"Is this invisibility?"

Su Huan asked.

Shu Wei said with lingering fear, "It must be the invisibility effect achieved by manipulating the refraction of light."

"Light..."

Su Huan thought for a moment, then stretched out his palm, which transformed into a glowing humanoid ball of light to the astonishment of the crowd.

"No, we lack the relevant skills."

Su Huan stopped the energy conversion and said helplessly.

Qi Jianguo looked at his captured brother with eyes blazing with rage. Despite being punched several times by the giraffe, he lashed out at the giraffe's leg with his tail, and his thick arm, like a guillotine, directly gripped the giraffe's throat.

Then he yelled at Su Huan, "Stop it, all of you!"

hurried footsteps sounded again outside the door.

Like a wild beast, Qi Jianguo turned around and saw the refined-looking Hu Shuo walk in.

Bai Lu, following behind, dragged Qi Zhenbang in with the same posture.

Qi Jianguo was shocked and exclaimed, "Zhenbang!"

Seeing this, the old man, who couldn't get involved, closed his eyes in despair.

Before they could even figure out who the other party was, two of their three sons had already been captured.

He didn't even know how many people the other party had, let alone their identity.

The long-haired young man never laid a hand on the matter.

I've never fought such a frustrating battle in my entire life.

"What do you want?"

The old man opened his eyes again, his previously slightly cloudy eyes now calm and clear.

"Don't you need to explain?"

Su Huan raised an eyebrow.

Qi Jianguo glanced nervously at his two younger brothers and tightened his grip on their arms. "Your men are still in my hands!"

The giraffe's face flushed red, and it gave Su Huan an awkward smile, "Train conductor..."

Su Huan rolled his eyes. "With a neck that long, he deserves this fate."

giraffe:"???"

The old man said coldly, "Don't think you've got us cornered. The entire shelter is full of explosives. At worst, we'll all die together. There's no land for dozens of kilometers around. If we fall into the water, none of us will survive."

Su Huan nodded in agreement. "There is no land, but are you referring to the artillery downstairs as explosives?"

Qi Tieshan's heart sank, but his expression remained tough. "We have more than just artillery."

“That’s possible…” Su Huan asked seriously, “How many exactly did you bury?”

Old Man Tie was taken aback, feeling that the young man in front of him was a bit unreliable.

He couldn't keep up with the other person's train of thought.

He stubbornly replied, "Then don't worry about it, I guarantee I can blow up the building!"

"Just blowing up the bed? Can you guarantee that it will kill all five thousand people in one go?"

The old man remained silent upon hearing this.

Is this how young people talk these days?

He understood every word.

He felt old.

The old man is amazing.

The old man's voice was filled with deep weariness, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Su Huan thought about it carefully and said, "Originally, I was planning to find some things and do some small business on the side."

"Business?"

The old man seemed to have found a turning point.

A powerful whistle suddenly rang out outside the building, its strong sound piercing through the storm.

Everyone in the room felt a sudden tightness in their chest.

He looked at the bar's only window with a puzzled expression.

"Bang bang bang!"

The next moment, all the sealed windows were broken open.

A dozen fully armed soldiers burst into the room, pointing their gun barrels at the people in the shelter.

The rain was torn into long whips by the gale, lashing against the indoor walls and leaving damp streaks.

The third brother's tactical boots crunched over the broken glass, making a soft crackling sound. He scanned the room until he saw Su Huan's calm expression, then grinned and said, "Train conductor, the entire shelter is under control. Shall we begin free trade?"

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the howling of wind and rain.

Zhang Min, who had been staring at Shu Wei, finally looked at Lao San and the others.

In fact, the detection range had already reached the armed train floating in the water.

The powerful aura emanating from the car made her frown involuntarily.

How long has it been since the Steel Council broke up?
A month?

How did the armed train's power expand so much?

Old Man Tie stared blankly at the well-trained soldiers, then turned his head with difficulty to look at his grandson in the corner.

Although he didn't speak, the intense question in his eyes had already formed a sentence.

'Who exactly did you mess with?'

In the corner, Qi Zhiyuan stared blankly at the scene.

He doesn’t know either!

Who knew things would turn out this way so inexplicably?

He was just showing off in his own shelter, stepping on some pretty boy, and nobody knew he'd accidentally stepped on a big shot's head!
"Let go."

"Old Man Tie sighed and said."

Qi Jianguo gritted his teeth unwillingly and still threw the giraffe away.

The latter was taken by the gloating third brother, who took a long time to catch his breath.

Those who had spoken ill of Su Huan earlier immediately covered their heads and turned away, while the bartender tried his best to squeeze into the crowd, afraid of being seen by Su Huan.

The remaining people were even more terrified and fell silent.

Su Huan patted Xiao Dong, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said, "I told you, I'm really awesome."
