Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 35 Born Bad
This section is all paved road, so it's easy to walk on. The troublesome part is the grassy area between the railway tracks, which is muddy and damp after it rains.

Su Huan was mainly worried that something like the Bloodthirsty Vine would puncture the wheels.

A jumble of thoughts raced through my mind, running wildly in the 30-degree Celsius heat, making my chest feel like it was on fire.

As if possessed, Su Huan looked up and glanced to the side of the street.

He couldn't see anything from the dark building, but he could feel a fierce killing intent staring at him!
'Gao Zhe!'

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, half a sharp piece of rebar had already disappeared into the night and was hurtling towards me.

But Su Huan was not one of those negligent guards. The moment he saw Gao Zhe, he drew his pistol and fired at him while simultaneously ducking to avoid the attack.

"boom--"

A steel bar pierced the side window of a pickup truck and embedded itself directly into the passenger seat.

However, this also resulted in all five of Su Huan's retaliatory shots hitting the wall.

The battle broke out suddenly; Wang and the others only heard a series of explosions and had no idea what had happened.

"crunch-"

Several cars braked to a stop at the same time, and the only sound in the silent night was the heavy breathing of the crowd.

"I can't hear his voice."

Yu Yue quickly replied.

Su Huan glanced at the shattered car window, stood up, and calmly said, "You can stand in the back, you don't need to come over."

"The train conductor still has the mind to care about women at a time like this, huh..."

Gao Zhe's voice echoed repeatedly from inside the dark building. Although he was laughing, it sounded like a lone wolf howling through its teeth.

Su Huan grinned and said, "I never expected that you would survive the tide of evolving beasts."

"As expected of the train conductor, while others are still fighting for a little food, you've already started to take advantage of the rules of the apocalypse."

Gao Zhe's voice was filled with sincere admiration.

Su Huan squinted, savoring Gao Zhe's attack just now. Both the power and the timing were breathtaking.

"You've grown up so fast, it's keeping me up at night. Why don't you come out and we can have a good talk? My gun's out of bullets."

Their tone was sincere and honest, not like enemies who had fought to the death a second ago, but like two friends chatting casually.

"Tch, the people who got on the bus with me are practically covered in grass by now."

“They’ll still grow grass even without me.”

Do you know how many people work at that water plant?

Juan said there were more than forty.

"All dead."

"Ah."

"I killed him."

"Ok?"

Su Huan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Yu Yue quietly walked over from behind and pointed to a location on the second floor. The window was broken, and it was pitch black, so nothing could be seen.

Su Huan waved her away.

The fact that the other party didn't move was something we could tell.

"Is Juan dead?"

"What do you think?"

Su Huan's smile was faint.

They landed silently and walked in that direction.

upstairs.

Gao Zhe leaned against the low wall behind him, laboriously took a cigarette out of the pack with one hand, pinched the mouthpiece, and held it above his head.

"Please click it for me."

Su Huan, who was downstairs, paused in his steps.

There was no movement for a long time; the cigarette remained there, waiting.

After a long while, a high-temperature missile flew past.

A slight smile finally appeared on Gao Zhe's tense face. He took a light breath, and the red firelight illuminated his face, revealing terrifying black lines covering most of his skin, making him look sinister and intimidating.

Gao Zhe exhaled a smoke ring and called softly, "Su Huan."

"Ok?"

A faint reply came from downstairs. The two were very close, one going up and the other going down.

"You're a fucking bastard!"

"Ah"

Gao Zhe suddenly sprang up and threw the things wrapped in his clothes downwards, and what came into view was a huge light.

"boom--"

The explosion blasted through the walls, masking the sharp sound of the bullet leaving the barrel.

In the darkness, a series of heavy footsteps echoed upstairs, and the person downstairs quickly took off their coat.

After retreating more than ten steps, Su Huan didn't even look at the package at his waist before taking out saline solution and rinsing it over himself.

After a while, I breathed a sigh of relief when I felt nothing unusual.

He chuckled and cursed under his breath, "A defender, and he's even gotten into poisoning."

Liang Kuan, holding a sniper crossbow, hesitated and asked, "Should we give chase?"

Su Huan waved his hand. He had seen it clearly when the light was bright. Gao Zhe was poisoned, and it must have been done by the Jiangli Evolution Beast.

Having been shot by himself, even if he escapes, he most likely won't survive.

Moreover, in order to break through that broken wall, he consumed a lot of his energy. Only a madman would chase after a defender in such a narrow terrain.

"Let's go, let's get back as soon as possible!"

Because the oppressive aura left by the White Snake in Mojiang was still there, the group quickly returned to the train.

The water purifier is nearly five meters tall. To place it on the rear carriage, the roof would have to be broken open. So, it was simply placed inside the No. 2 sightseeing carriage, taking up some of the second-floor space.

Although it is getting further and further away from Su Huan's original plan.

But it's also a good option.

The moment the water purifier was finally installed in the carriage, a huge weight was lifted from Su Huan's heart.

With the water purifier, the train no longer has to worry about water supply.

With a water processing capacity of 10m³/h, it's not just for drinking; it could even be enough for everyone on the bus to take a bath every day.

"Boss Su, the work is done."

Wang He interrupted Su Huan's thoughts and looked up to see more than twenty men drenched in sweat, as if they had been pulled out of a water tank.

Su Huan had also seen their performance. Although Wang He would haggle with him, he never slacked off when working. They were all honest people who worked hard. When the water purifier couldn't be put into the truck, they and the forklift lifted it up together.

Su Huan turned around and said a few words to Liang Kuan.

A short while later, he and Yu Yue came over carrying several boxes.

Su Huan said to Wang He, "One bucket of instant noodles, two bottles of drinks, and five compressed biscuits for each person. This is an extra reward for the twenty of them. As for what I promised you before, it's all as promised."

Upon hearing this, Wang He smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Su."

Su Huan continued, "Don't rush, pick a few more workers later and install the water purifier for me tonight. The workers will also be provided with a meal."

Wang He readily agreed.

As for supervising the construction, he left it to Yu Jing and the others, and didn't concern himself with it.

Back in my room, I tore off my sticky clothes.

I used up all the remaining purified water in the tub at once, filling it completely.

Covered in sweat, Su Huan slowly sank to the bottom.

Feeling the cool liquid envelop my whole body, my mind, which had been somewhat drowsy due to the high temperature, gradually cleared.

I slowly sorted out what happened today and carefully reviewed it.

There was a "crash" sound.

Su Huan emerged from the water and picked up the logbook next to the bathtub.

I wrote down words that were still slightly damp.

"December 20th, evening, 29°C—34°C"

"It feels like I've become the villain in a novel."
