Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 40 The Earth Ghost (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Black pus was sprayed.

The fleshy growth on his thin, bony palm bounced up and down.

Extend your left hand forward, pointing at the train, and slowly move it in the direction of the train. Extend your right hand backward, and because you are hunched over, you have to strain your eyes to see the direction of the train.

With a whoosh, the arm with its joints reversed threw the ball of flesh out of its hand.

"boom!"

The tumor slammed onto the train, and instantly, a gush of brownish-green pus gushed out, completely obscuring the side windows.

Bubbling and crackling began to appear on the surrounding metal armor.

However, given the corrosion rate of a first-tier Earth Demon, even a week might not be enough to penetrate a 15mm steel plate.

Moreover, the armor on the front of the vehicle is even thicker than 27mm.

But the most distinctive feature of this thing is that it's disgusting; the pus, besides being corrosive, also serves as an information marker.

What smells foul to humans is like a signal flare to zombies.

"Hey, look what I found here! Delicious food! Come and eat!"

It can cause a small horde of corpses within a range of tens of meters.

The best way is to quickly rinse it off with a water gun, or sprinkle some dry powder on it to neutralize it.

In his previous life, he dealt most with these first-tier earth ghosts. To others, these zombies that could attack from a distance were disgusting, but his profession at the time was "electromagnetic master".

You can use small objects like steel balls or coins to accelerate them to supersonic speeds.

These fragile ghosts can be taken down in one hit.

But there are times when mistakes are made.

Recalling some unpleasant memories, Su Huan's face turned frighteningly grim. "Ignore him. When Xiao Ba comes over, just kill him!"

There is currently no specific profession for this, and it is impossible to precisely manipulate electromagnetic forces.

However, some usage techniques remained, so Su Huan directly emitted high-temperature energy to reduce the manipulation of the medium.

The disadvantages are high energy consumption and small range.

Soon, a large wave of zombies surged forward, led by a Tier 1 Butcher who was dragging a Tier 1 "Skullbreaker" that had been dead for a long time as a weapon.

On its massive, mountain-like body, two small eyes blazed with the purest malice.

"Do zombies also kill each other?"

Since smashing one last time, Liang Kuan has no longer been afraid of these blustering but cowardly evolved zombies.

After all, what he was driving was a steel behemoth weighing several thousand tons.

Even if a true dragon crawled out of the water, it would have to give way to a rampaging armed train.

"The Butcher's characteristic is to look for weapons. If there are no suitable weapons around when he emerges from the cocoon, he will grab other zombies. This unlucky guy was caught by him on a whim."

Su Huan looked at the skull crusher with a strange expression. The skull crusher had huge, strong muscles and hands that were the size of watermelon hammers.

It was originally a very ferocious zombie, but now its head has been smashed open, and its upper body has been ground down to just a large mass of flesh and blood.

If I remember correctly, in my past life there was a legendary butcher who particularly coveted the Skullbreaker's twin hammers, so at each stage he would fight a Skullbreaker of the same level to use as a weapon.

Could this be the one right in front of us?
"Su, is it time for battle?"

Qi Xiaoba's clear voice came from behind, and the boy seemed to have regained his fighting spirit.

With his thoughts returning to normal, Su Huan nodded and said solemnly, "Liang Kuan, get ready to ram through. Stop when you kill the leader of the butchers. Xiao Ba, clear away that annoying ghost on the wall. Be careful to hit its back."

"understand!"

The moment Liang Kuan pushed the lever all the way down, the entire train seemed to transform into a roaring steel behemoth.

Qi Xiaoba's gaze fell upon the Earth Demon chasing the train on the fence, his pupils completely stained with the color of liquid metal. Su Huan took a deep breath, holding the remaining first-order universal energy crystal in his hand, the tungsten steel ram humming and vibrating due to the infused azure electric arcs.

"Don't speed up! There's a train on the tracks 500 meters away!"

Yu Yue's voice was clearly projected from the second-floor observation deck to everyone's ears.

Su Huan frowned and stopped pumping energy into the engine. "Five hundred meters, can it stop?"

Liang Kuan said in a low voice, "No problem!"

When the wheels rolled over the foremost horde of ordinary corpses, the sound was like hundreds of rotting tomatoes bursting at the same time.

Dark red blood was splattered in a fan shape on the 15mm composite armor. The blast net was instantly covered with shattered organs. Half of a zombie's head was stuck on the edge of the observation window. The greedy and ferocious light frozen in the empty eye sockets became the first footnote to this bloody scene.

The butcher swung the skullcutter's remains at the front of the car.

"Fuck-"

Tens of thousands of volts of high-voltage electricity shot into the butcher's body through the ram, burning his obese body and producing charred white smoke.

It was immediately stunned, and then the rammed corner of the car into the ground.

Bright yellow fat was spilled all along the way.

A horde of about a hundred zombies was plowed through by steel like waves of wheat, severed limbs arcing through the air, and the blood mist kicked up by the ramming horn refracted into rainbows in the sunlight.

"boom!"

Another disgusting tumor smashed into the front window, this time mixed with the butcher's blood and the pus of the earth demon, completely obscuring the road ahead.

The armed train emitted a sharp whistle and began to brake.

Qi Xiaoba stretched out his fingers and grabbed at the air. Suddenly, a bomb-proof net flew out from the side and turned into a huge metal net, which caught the Earth Ghost.

The metal wire contracted rapidly, instantly shredding the hunched figure into a pile of minced meat.

"Hiss—"

The train finally came to a stop, but without a real-time electronic map, Su Huan had no idea how far it was from Mojiang South Station.

"Om..."

The lights in the driver's cab were turned on, and the air conditioning was running at full speed.

Su Huan frowned at the sight of the glass covered in filth and ordered, "Xiao Ba, finish off that butcher. We don't need to worry about the ordinary zombies. Lao Liang, come with me."

After speaking, he walked towards the dining car at the back and happened to see Yu Jing and her daughter getting off.

Su Huan opened his mouth and said, "Yu Jing, today you are responsible for connecting the water tank of the food truck to the front of the truck. Then connect it to a high-pressure water gun to ensure that the windows can be washed at any time."

"Ok."

Yu Jing paused for a moment, then looked at the blood and flesh hanging on the blast nets on both sides and nodded.

Walking into carriage number 2, Wan Xing sat down next to a huge table. In addition to the lights in the carriage, several extra-large table lamps were also lit, all shining on the table in the middle.

On the table were the river crabs that Su Huan had casually brought back that day.

Wan Xing was holding a dagger forged from the claws of a night demon, meticulously dismantling its carapace.

Seeing Su Huan and Liang Kuan approaching, he asked in confusion, "Are you going on a mission?"

Su Huan shook his head. "You don't need to. Just continue collecting materials. Have you extracted the pan-energy crystal from this river crab?"

"Hmm," Wan Xing said, tapping the first-order polymorphic crystal on the edge of the table with her chin.

Su Huan's face lit up with joy.

Including this one, I've already obtained three Tier 1 Universal Energy Crystals. Two more will allow me to upgrade "Universal Energy Conversion" from lv2 to lv3.

Just then, there was a butcher and a ghost outside the car.
