Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 19 Roar, Unable to Break Defense

When Su Huan reached carriage number five, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the ceiling.

Then, continuing forward, the sound of motors running could be heard from the dimly lit storage compartment.

Qi Xiaoba's figure emerged from the darkness.

Upon seeing Su Huan, he gently shook his head, indicating that there was no danger.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. Su Huan turned around and saw Wan Xing looking anxious.

"There are zombies on the roof of the car!"

Su Huan and the other man looked up at the same time. There were two sounds: one was Wan Xing's footsteps running inside the car, and the other was the sound of friction on the roof.

The thing heard the sound and followed.

But nothing happened for a long time.

Su Huan stood sideways by the window and suddenly pulled back the curtains.

"Qiang!"

A long, narrow claw suddenly stabbed at the car window, leaving a clear hole in the tempered glass. Centered on the hole, the entire piece of glass shattered into a white mess in an instant, barely maintaining its basic shape.

Because the claws were extremely thick at the end, they got stuck in the explosion-proof netting!

Su Huan cursed inwardly, "Another piece of my glass has broken."

This thing is harder to repair than a broken steel plate!
However, through this sharp claw, Su Huan was able to determine what it was and, knowing what it was, he flashed to the front.

A deformed humanoid zombie was perched on the window, its hands transformed into three sharp claws, almost half the length of its body.

His body was as thin as a stick, but his ribs were extremely prominent, puffing up under his armpits like wings. There was a row of eyes between each rib, nine on each side, plus one for a total of eighteen.

At this moment, they were all staring greedily at Su Huan.

Su Huan reached out and touched the metal edge of the window frame, letting out a cold laugh. "Trying to force your way on without a ticket?!"

Crackling arcs of electricity flashed instantly across the zombie's body.

The zombie let out a painful growl.

Su Huan didn't need to remind him.

Countless steel spikes instantly extended from the outer steel plate of the train, piercing it through.

“A Tier 1 zombie Night Demon, high attack but low defense. Lock him in the carriage and deal with him tomorrow,” Su Huan said coldly.

Qi Xiaoba's eyes seemed to turn into steel balls as he coldly stared at the zombies outside the window.

Steel cables were stretched from the train, tightly binding the Night Demon, who was trying to pull his body out of the spikes, to the train body.

Su Huan then stopped inputting high-voltage electricity.

Having lost control of the paralysis, the Night Demon could only howl louder and had no room to struggle.

No matter how much he brandished his claws, all he did was create bursts of sparks on the car's steel panels.

With a steel plate of 12mm + 3mm, not to mention him, even a second-tier Night Demon couldn't bite into such a tough piece of food!

As its life force faded, the Night Demon gradually lost its ability to struggle, and the crimson in its eyes receded, turning into a deathly black.

Everything happened in a flash of lightning.

Wan Xing stood frozen in place until she realized things had calmed down, then she came over.

"I was just trying to remind you..."

"fine."

Su Huan shook his head.

If they can't launch a sneak attack, they can try a direct assault. As long as the Night Demon doesn't break through the armored vehicle, he'll be killed by the two of them sooner or later.

"What's going on next?" Su Huan turned to look at Qi Xiaoba.

"There was a brief commotion at the beginning, then it became quiet," Qi Xiaoba said.

As they were talking, Yu Jing and her daughter also came over.

"Liang Kuan said that one of the headlights was broken, but the other functions were fine and the windows were undamaged. However, there were signs of damage to the windows of your car number three, as if something was trying to get in but was stuck by the explosion-proof net."

Yu Jing reported.

Su Huan nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

It seems these past few days haven't been a complete waste of time.

However, with the front carriages protected by steel plates and explosion-proof nets, then... Everyone thought of this problem and unanimously turned their attention to carriage number 7.

Qi Xiaoba reached out his hand, and the locks on the doors opened one by one.

The group entered the bridge, where it was very quiet except for the clattering of wheels.

Through the glass, I could hear some commotion coming from the opposite carriage.

"There are monsters!"

"The people behind them must all be dead."

"Shut up, all of you, be quiet. I'm going to find Boss Su!"

"What's the use of finding Boss Su? Keep your voices down, don't let the monster in..."

Su Huan gently placed his hand on Qi Xiaoba's shoulder, and the latter immediately opened the locked door of carriage number 7.

Several workers looked over at the sound and screamed in fright.

"The car...door, the door is open!"

"What are you yelling about? Go and find Gao Zhe for me," Su Huan said, picking his ear.

Upon hearing the voice, several nearby workers reacted, "Boss Su, it's Boss Su!"

"Boss Su, there's a monster behind us!"

"Shut up, all of you!" A deep, angry voice rang out as Wang He pushed his way out of the crowd.

Su Huan waved his hand to interrupt him and asked directly, "What happened next? Was there any wailing or howling?"

"A monster got into carriage number 10 and killed several zombies. I'm afraid everyone in the back has been wiped out!"

Wang He's voice, though feigning composure, trembled slightly.

Su Huan frowned, but didn't move an inch. "Call Gao Zhe over."

"I'm here, what are you going to do?" A clear voice rang out from the crowd.

The surrounding workers glanced around and made way for a narrow passage.

The carriage was too dark; even with Su Huan's excellent eyesight, he could barely make out a dark shadow.

However, he didn't need to see clearly. He said indifferently, "Go kill that Night Demon and bring the corpse over. I can give you a permanent ticket."

Gao Zhe's eyes flashed; he indeed knew quite a lot.

“This is your train, why don’t you go? I have a three-month ticket, that’s enough.”

Su Huan sneered inwardly, "Wait until I get there before you stab me in the back?"

You think I don't know this trick?
Only an idiot would go there and be attacked from both sides!
Su Huan's tone carried a hint of detached sarcasm, "You can choose not to go. Anyway, the monsters will come from behind anyway, where else can you run to?"

"Xiao Ba, lock the door. Let them take their time to think it over."

After saying that, ignoring the anxious calls of the workers behind him, he led Qi Xiaoba and the others back to the storage room.

Is it truly locked?

Qi Xiaoba asked.

"of course."

Su Huan turned on the night light in the storage room and saw the boy sitting there with a faint look of reluctance on his face.

Seeing his expression, you can tell he's having a bout of maternal instinct.

They need to be comforted and guided.

Su Huan said calmly, "Are you trying to say that there are many innocent people behind this?"

Qi Xiaoba nodded.

"But there are also many malicious people there."

Su Huan crouched down, making sure his line of sight was level with Qi Xiaoba's, and said, word by word, "But protecting others comes before ensuring your own safety."

"There are two ways to prevent their deaths now. One is to deal with the Night Demons ourselves, but that would mean facing attacks from those with malicious intent."

"Another approach is to force those with malicious intent to deal with the Night Demon, which ensures our safety and also achieves the goal of protecting the majority."

So, what's your choice?
