Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 26 Hard Currency
Gao Zhe stopped and turned around, his cold eyes scrutinizing Su Huan. "Reward?"

"The dining car is preparing breakfast. How about we have a hot breakfast?" Su Huan said.

Gao Zhe's lips twitched, revealing a slightly mocking smile, and he turned to leave.

Su Huan's tasks are never easy to complete; you can't expect him to risk his life for a simple breakfast.

They really treated him like a slave.

"We have steak, pasta, and grilled sausages. If you don't like those, we also have steamed buns, congee, and freshly squeezed soy milk..."

Su Huan spoke from behind as if reciting a menu.

He didn't look back.

……

Gao Zhe stepped into the muddy water, frowned as he looked at the people lying on the ground, and shouted to Su Huan in the car, "Is it enough to just check everyone's condition and then load them onto the train?"

"Yes, if we capture him alive, we'll even give you a glass of wine with dinner," Su Huan said with a smile.

Gao Zhe took a deep breath of the damp air, picked up the steel bar, and walked towards the people on the ground.

The person on the outermost edge was a familiar face, none other than the burly Dog Brother.

'waste!'

A shadowy glint flashed in Gao Zhe's eyes.

He slammed the steel bar in his hand directly into the man's thigh with a dull thud.

Dog Brother instantly curled up like a shrimp, his hands loosely clasped around his knees, and he roared silently with his mouth wide open.

"There's no threat."

Gao Zhe picked up the rope that Su Huan had thrown down, tied it up like a dead pig, and then threw it onto the carriage.

Liang Kuan took it, checked the rope knot, and then stuffed some rags into the other person's mouth.

Gao Zhe just kept hitting them one by one, whether they were really dizzy or pretending to be, he would just hit them with a stick.

The muffled thuds were accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

As the acrid sound grew closer, the man lying on the ground, with his eyes narrowed in resentment.

He had been planning to feign unconsciousness in an attempt to retaliate, but that bastard shocked him four more times!

His head was practically smoking from being knocked out!

If it weren't for the astonishing physical strength gained after becoming an evolved being, he would have been left there like everyone else.

It took me a long time to recover after lying there for a while.

This time he admitted defeat and planned to wait for Su Huan to come and surrender, but the other party was late and instead a fierce-looking man appeared.

This is to silence them all!
The man with the droopy eyes dared not stand up any longer, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, as if they were a death knell.

With a roar, the slanted-eye man pulled his face out of the mud and lunged at his legs.

'This feeling… what a waste of talent the creator possessed.'

Su Huan immediately understood the details of the slanted eye and felt a little regretful. What he needed most in his vehicle right now was a manufacturer, but unfortunately, this one couldn't be used.

"Capture this one alive first."

Upon hearing Su Huan's voice, Gao Zhe froze, his raised steel bar hand still in place. He frowned, his muscles tensed, and with a sudden movement, he pried the other man's hands off.

He kicked the man in the chest.

The other person tumbled out like a rolling gourd, then sat there panting heavily.

Gao Zhe did not chase after him. He looked down and pulled up his trouser leg, where he saw many red spots on his skin.

"Don't worry, it will disappear in a couple of days; it's even less serious than a skin disease."

Su Huan's calm voice came from the carriage.

His general energy perception allows him to sense the general energy fluctuations within an object, but he cannot determine the other party's profession. For example, Gao Zhe becoming an evolved being is as easy for him as it seems.

It's so obvious, there's no way to hide it.

Today I'm just taking this opportunity to get a feel for the other party's evolutionary direction and speed, so I have a general idea of ​​what's going on.

If a shepherd gets knocked over by a sheep, he's in big trouble. "Bang!"

Gao Zhe tied the slingshot shut and threw it onto the carriage, saying, "Remember to bring the food."

Then he limped onto the train from the back.

Su Huan looked down at the disheveled slanted-eye man at his feet, then put his hand on Liang Kuan's shoulder, preventing him from getting closer.

If you were to ask which type of evolved being is the most powerful in the apocalypse, the answer would likely be varied.

But if you ask which is the most bizarre, the "creator" is definitely the top choice.

Because of their core skill "Pan-Energy Erosion," this group of people can alter the properties of matter and trigger new changes, making them the first to cross the taboo.

The red spots on Gao Zhe's legs were caused by the erosion of the universal energy, but the opponent was also an evolved being, and the strongest defender at that. He could withstand it for two days and it would pass.

But Liang Kuan is just an ordinary person, and it would be quite troublesome if he were to be corrupted by the other party.

It might just be a red spot on the first day, an eye might grow on the second day, and it might be able to speak on the third day.

"...Don't kill me, I surrender! I have enough food to last me six months at my water plant, clean water, cars, lots of gasoline, and women, lots of women. If you let me go, they're all yours!"

The man with slanted eyes spat out a mouthful of mud and quickly said...

Su Huan seemed not to hear him. A red light emanated from his hand as he pulled a pistol from the other man's waistband, removed the magazine, and found eight 9mm bullets inside. They were bright yellow and looked very nice.

This is a valuable item, even if it were placed a few years later when various evolved creatures were rampant.

The distinctive smell of gunpowder smoke still lingers in the air.

Moreover, it is sturdy and durable, much more reliable than the general-purpose firearms developed by large companies. It is the hard currency of the apocalypse and a good partner for survival.

"Click-clack"

After a quick inspection, Su Huan cocked the gun and gestured it a couple of times on the slanted-eyed man's head.

The latter was so frightened that his eyes bulged out and his lips trembled.

"No, no, don't kill me..."

"Where did you get it?"

Su Huan asked curiously.

"The law enforcement bureau found it."

Su Huan turned the gun over and indeed saw a wear mark. "Are there any bullets left?"

"The water plant has them, 60 of them."

Does the water plant have water purifiers?

The man with the slanted eyes paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we have both big and small ones."

Su Huan smiled; it seemed he wouldn't need to resort to underhanded tactics.

Pointing to the sixteen surviving people in the carriage, he said, "I'll give you a chance to live. Choose two of the most loyal people from among these people, and I'll let them go back and send me a small integrated water purifier. Then you can live."

His slanted eyes immediately lit up. "Okay, I'll definitely get it done for you."

"What's your name?" Su Huan suddenly asked.

"Juan, you can just call me Little Hu." Juan smiled obsequiously, his eyes narrowing.

Juan...

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Huan's eyes; he hadn't expected to actually find someone he knew.

In his previous life, only three car teams escaped from the high-temperature zone. Juan was the third-in-command of the Mojiang Mutual Aid Car Team, which was also the largest, with several thousand people.

However, he heard that the management was chaotic, so he didn't go.

There aren't many strong individuals, but the number of evolved individuals is generally higher than the other two teams. If we're short of manpower, we might consider targeting them.

But with him around, it's uncertain whether this car team can ever come together again.

Su Huan was truly interested in another team: the joint motorcade of workers, farmers, and doctors.
