Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 36 Countdown: Day Four
The carriages behind were somewhat dim.

The old man stood by the car window with a grim expression.

When he saw the opening, he knew things weren't going well, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.

Unexpectedly, the train returned, and Su Huan even personally led the team out, which made them overjoyed.

However, one evolved human remained on the vehicle, and he could only wait for good news from Gao Zhe.

The results are obvious.

Su Huan is back; whether Gao Zhe is dead or has escaped is no longer important.

No one in the back carriages was qualified to negotiate with Su Huan.

The train conductor's authority was once again consolidated to an unprecedented degree.

……

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Su Huan said calmly, showing no intention of getting out of the bathtub.

He never locks the door; there's no need to lock it when there are people around, and even less need to lock it when there's no one around.

Yu Jing and the others often had to go into his room to get his things.

Yu Yue pushed open the door and walked in, her eyes scanning the room before landing on the bathroom in the corner.

Hearing the sound of water inside, feeling slightly embarrassed, she said, "I see you seem to be injured..."

Su Huan put down the logbook and glanced at his left shoulder, where a large charred mark, like a hard shell, was attached.

Some of the venom that Gao Zhe threw down seeped into his collar.

To prevent the toxins from spreading, he directly carbonized that part of the flesh using high temperatures.

He was already used to such injuries.

As it evolves, or after some time, the carbonized parts will fall off.

"crunch"

Su Huan opened the door and saw Yu Yue standing in the middle of the room holding a tray with iodine bandages and other medications on it.

"I want to help you treat your wounds." Yu Yue's expression turned tense as she saw the naked Su Huan and subconsciously thought of some cold healing processes.

Su Huan then remembered that the other person was a nurse.

After thinking for a moment, I said, "Come over here."

He casually draped his injured arm over the outside.

Yu Yue stepped forward and prepared the items. Before they even started, she heard Su Huan say, "Something's missing. Go get me some of that bottle of wine from the food cart, and some ice."

Yu Yue quickly did as she was told, and soon returned with a glass of ice and whiskey.

With a troubled expression, he said, "This wine can't kill viruses."

Su Huan pursed his lips. "That's what I drank."

"Oh"

Yu Yue stopped talking and squatted down at the bathroom door to treat his wounds.

Su Huan drank half a glass in one gulp, crunching the ice cubes in his mouth.

Alcohol can be used to keep water clean even in the apocalypse, but it's expensive. In his previous life, he was short of resources and didn't have the opportunity to pursue such a luxury.

Now that the most pressing issues for the armed train have been resolved, it's a rare moment of relaxation.

After a while, Su Huan turned his head to look at the woman who was fiddling with his shoulder. She had been using tweezers for a long time, but only managed to remove a small piece of burnt material.

He frowned and flicked his finger.

A large, charred chunk broke off, and fresh blood gushed out.

"Hurry up and get it done. We're going into the city tomorrow, so you need to get up early to cook."

Su Huan said calmly, as if the dent in his shoulder wasn't his own flesh.

The woman's hands and feet became much more nimble. "What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow?"

Su Huan swirled his wine glass. "Wonton, please."

Soon, the wound was treated, and Yu Yue began packing her things, occasionally stealing a glance at Su Huan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Say what you want to say quickly, I'm going to sleep."

Su Huan said irritably.

"I...I really didn't hear where he was..."

Yu Yue looked like a child who had done something wrong, her face showing a hint of unease. She had originally been very happy to become an evolved being, feeling that she was finally making a small contribution, but she never expected that her first mission would result in such a major blunder.

She didn't issue a warning even when the enemy was so close.

Thinking of Su Huan's cold and ruthless nature in the past, she was on tenterhooks the whole way back, afraid that her mistake would cause both mother and daughter to be kicked off the bus.

After hesitating for a long time, I decided to admit my mistake first, so as not to be written down in the notebook by the petty train conductor.

I heard that his little black notebook is full of people he doesn't like.

Su Huan was somewhat surprised.

'Am I really that scary?'

Then a dark voice rang out, "Did you really not hear me... or are you hoping I'll die out there?"

Yu Yue's almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly, and her glossy lips instantly lost their color.

"me……"

Her easy-going appearance...
His fingers traced the woman's hair at her temples, his voice low and tinged with desire, "You wouldn't want your daughter to be stranded in the wilderness with you because of your mistake, would you?"

As the water splashed, Su Huan stood up.

The woman panicked and tried to get up to explain, but because she had been squatting for too long, her legs went numb, and she staggered and knelt on the floor, her round thighs squeezing out a plump curve.

As his fingertips brushed against the woman's sensitive, delicate earlobe, Su Huan chuckled, "Not bad attitude."

"..."

Perhaps Gao Zhe is right; he is a bad seed.

……

Su Huan woke up very early the next day, but was not in a good mood.

Sitting in the cold, chaotic room, Su Huan gritted his teeth in a sinister tone, and after a while, he walked towards the window.

Just like yesterday, it started raining again in the middle of the night. The air was filled with mist and lingering stuffiness, and the air conditioner, running at full speed, smelled like it was straining to keep going.

Pulling open the steel plate, I picked up the thermometer on the table, stretched it out the window, and watched the red line soaring above it.

Su Huan's already bad mood was further compounded by a layer of irritability.

"December 21, rain, 35°C"

"There are still four days until the heatwave hits."

Stepping out of the private room, I went straight to carriage number 2, where a five-meter-tall integrated water purifier stood quietly, giving me a sense of peace.

I walked around the water purifier, and the metal nameplate on it displayed information about the purifier.

It can filter river and lake water with a turbidity of ≤3000mg/L, which is equivalent to the turbidity of rivers or lakes after heavy rain carrying a large amount of silt.

The end is connected to the water tank inside the carriage.

Each carriage has two of these water tanks, each capable of storing two tons of water. They are equipped with internal anti-sloshing panels to prevent liquid sloshing, just like the adjacent fuel tanks.

Upon reaching the second floor, an opening was found, allowing rainwater to collect and accumulate in a storage tank.

This changed Su Huan's opinion of rainy days considerably.

By adding a pH adjustment device at the end, the collection of purified water in the acid rain zone will no longer be a problem.

With my palm on the water purifier, the huge machine started to run, filtering all the collected rainwater and pouring it into the pre-built water tank.

However, it only filled half of the water tank.

When Su Huan came down, it was just getting light, and Yu Yue was already busy in the dining car.

There was a sense of humility in it, like saying, "Please don't make things difficult for me, considering how hard I'm working."

Su Huan gave a silent, cold laugh and sat to the side, staring at her.

Yu Yue was a little nervous, tidying up here and wiping there, not daring to be idle in between her busy moments.

The hem of the ginger-yellow shirt lifted slightly with the movement, revealing her smooth, creamy waistline.

The evolved and enhanced flexibility of the muscles stretches out in a breathtaking arc when bending over, like a willow branch bent by the spring breeze, which then returns to a full and smooth curve the moment it stands up.

Finally, the wontons are ready.

Yu Yue carefully brought it over. "Brother Su, would you like some chili oil?"

Su Huan was furious at her submissive appearance. He scooped a large spoonful of chili oil into the bowl, stirred it, picked up a wonton, and held it to her lips.

Yu Yue hesitated for a moment, then puffed out her lips and blew on the wonton wrapper for a long time until it wrinkled, revealing the glistening flesh underneath, before finally taking a bite.

The wonton rolled in the spoon, but the skin and flesh were not damaged.
