Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 30 You've Hidden Well

"One, two, three, four... five? I almost forgot, Juan is also an evolved being."

As Su Huan counted, he carefully picked a few fruits.

If the water purifier deal goes smoothly, he might be willing to give Juan a way out.

But the deal fell through, and he simply couldn't find a reason to keep Juan alive.

As for the water plant's supplies and the beautiful women, he wasn't very interested. Only the benefits that were in his pocket mattered. Right now, the quickest thing he could get was Juan's white, fleshy body.

Feeding the Bloodthirsty Vine will encourage the production of more Bloodthirsty Fruits.

After picking the fruit, Su Huan walked towards the train.

Liang Kuan was leading some passengers in a zombie-clearing operation. They worked in groups of several, armed with long sticks or similar weapons, knocking down the zombies before ganging up on them and beating them up.

These zombies, which are not even at the first level, pose no threat to organized humans as long as they do not form a large-scale zombie horde. They are even less of a threat than some large carnivores.

"Move all the zombie corpses to carriage number 2," Su Huan casually instructed as they passed by.

"clear."

Once on the bus, Su Huan looked around and found Wan Xing in the dining car.

The other person sat on the sofa holding a potted plant, her beautiful face calmly gazing out the window.

The crowd killing zombies outside the car window resembled a satirical oil painting, a fusion of civilization and savagery, death and hope.

Yu Yue was wiping the bottles and jars in the kitchen, and the occasional crisp clinking brought out the rhythm of life, pulling people back to reality.

Since Su Huan stopped having time to cook, the food truck kitchen has become her territory.

When Su Huan appeared, the two instinctively turned their gazes to him, their expressions tightening.

Su Huan went straight to Wan Xing, took out five Bloodthirsty Fruits, and asked, "Let's try to extract some of these today."

Wan Xing sat up straight and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"The Bloodthirsty Fruit is a fruit formed by a mutated plant absorbing blood and flesh. It can promote biological evolution, but it cannot be eaten raw, or it will cause sudden death."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Wan Xing took the fruit, got up and walked to carriage number 2. The originally prepared weapons carriage had now been turned into a garage and a large tool room.

There was still a faint smell of blood in the air, and even with the air conditioner turned up to the maximum, it couldn't dispel the metallic odor.

"They will bring the zombie corpses over later. You will also extract them. Pay close attention to things other than the general energy crystals. Call me when you are done extracting them."

After giving his instructions, Su Huan went straight up to the second floor, still soaking wet, but now was not the time to worry about that.

His gaze pierced through the glass and explosion-proof netting, past the rows of buildings, and landed on the tall water tower. Thinking of Gao Zhe hiding in some shadow waiting for him, Su Huan couldn't help but lick his lips.

"You'd better hide well and don't show your face."

He took out a Tier 1 Universal Energy Crystal from the Night Demon from his pocket and sat on the ground, quietly extracting its universal energy.

……

The exterior walls of the water storage tanks inside the water plant are covered with dark green moss, and the broken pipes meander across the ground in a serpentine shadow.

Gao Zhe carried the blood-dripping steel bar in one hand, tapping it on the metal staircase with intermittent, trembling sounds.

It was putting pressure on the nerves of the guards inside.

Three men in security uniforms stared nervously at the iron door of the monitoring room when they suddenly sensed a slight noise behind them.

"who!"

The tense guard shouted.

The moment I turned around, I saw half a blood-stained steel bar flying straight towards me.

"boom--"

The steel bar was driven into the eye socket and nailed directly to the wall along with the guard.

A large patch of scarlet stained the area. The other two turned around and saw a one-armed figure in a hoodie jump down from the window.

With one foot planted firmly on the ground, he sprang up like a tiger, crashing into the two men's arms, the sickening sound of bones breaking echoing one after another.

"boom!"

Gao Zhe slammed the two men against the wall, braced himself with one hand, twisted his strong waist, and stood up. He pulled a steel bar from the wall and swung it at the two guards who were groaning in pain.

Like the crisp sound of a cucumber cracking open, silence returned to the room.

Only rustling sounds came from the bedroom.

Gao Zhe pressed himself against the wall, walked to the inner room, placed his palm on it, took a deep breath, and suddenly pushed it away.

But he didn't make any further move for a long time; his tall body was stiff, and his pupils were contracted to the extreme.

A putrid smell of stewed meat wafted out of the room.

The 30-square-meter space was filled with moldy food packaging bags, and more than 20 women were tied up by their hands and hung from the ceiling with their toes barely touching the ground, constantly having to maintain their balance.

Four people were hanging from the ceiling fan in the middle. As the fan turned, they were forced to move around. Two of them were exhaling more than they were inhaling, and their arms were black and purple. They were being dragged around in circles, leaving bloody marks on the floor.

When Gao Zhe entered, the women remained completely still, their eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as quiet as if they were mute.

Even if Gao Zhe considered the armed train to be hellish, it was far inferior to this tiny 30-square-meter room.

The people were like cured meat in a drying room, hanging naked.

"you……"

The rough, hoarse sound startled Gao Zhe. He found it hard to believe that the sound came from him. After a long pause, he quickly found the fan switch on the wall.

The rotating fan was turned off.

Then he stepped forward and lifted the nearest woman down, saying, "You, them... never mind, I'll save you first."

He discovered for the first time how inadequate his language skills were.

We can only try to be quick and efficient so that they suffer less.

He had just carried everyone down when he heard a loud noise. He turned around in confusion and saw a woman jump out of the window.

"Don't--"

Gao Zhe's heart skipped a beat.

This is the sixth floor!
Feeling the struggle in her arms, she quickly looked down.

The woman crawled out of his arms, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to him, and then crawled towards the window.

Gao Zhe reached out and grabbed her, gritting his teeth as he said, "There are trains and food outside. Come with me, and you can survive!"

But then the woman turned around and opened her mouth, revealing an empty oral cavity.

It has no tongue, and not even teeth.

The woman revealed an extremely ugly smile, backed away while kowtowing, and finally climbed to the window, whereupon she jumped, just like the first woman.

Gao Zhe stiffly withdrew his hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it heavily on the ground. His teeth were clenched, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it.

"Bang bang bang..."

A chorus of kowtows erupted.

After a while, apart from a few women who had already died, only Gao Zhe remained in the room.

The sky finally cleared up, and the dim sunlight streamed in through the window, cutting out a bright yellow patch on the wall.

Gao Zhe slumped down between light and shadow, his expression somber.

"I... I did something wrong... No, I didn't do anything wrong! Those who exploit and manipulate others deserve to die!"

"Su Huan!"
