Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 228 Jealousy
On the other side, Xiao Dong led Su Huan through the narrow corridor.

The giraffe was on tenterhooks the whole way, fearing that the train conductor might blow it all up if he was unhappy with something.

But to his surprise, Su Huan not only did not reject it, but also seemed to thrive in the environment. If Xiao Dong hadn't led the way, he would have thought that Su Huan was the local.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Su Huan was so gentle with this young guide.

"Look at you, you know a lot of people here and you're familiar with the terrain, so aren't you the strongest?"

Su Huan patiently and persuasively explained.

"Even so, no one has asked me to be their guide."

"You need to be confident. Just say it like I just taught you, and you'll have confidence."

Xiao Dong's eyes lit up at Su Huan's words. He had never received such encouragement in his life, and Su Huan had given him so much that even his somewhat inferior heart was filled with joy.

"Yes, I'll say that next time, but there are fewer and fewer outside survivors lately..."

"Then why don't you do some other business? I see you're doing quite well at the Iron Mountain Refuge."

“Those are all adult jobs. I can only do small things, and there are also children who are older than me.”

Are they all as amazing as you?

"Many people in the shelter have special abilities. Uncle Zhenbang and the others are incredibly powerful, and Uncle Jianguo can bend steel bars that thick directly. Even a two-meter-long fish can't swim as fast as him..."

Perhaps because it was rare for someone to listen to him so attentively, Xiao Dong was very excited, and his initial wariness was long forgotten.

He recounted his experiences since the apocalypse as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

The story vividly recounts everything from zombies and floods to the establishment of the Iron Mountain Refuge.

Su Huan listened very attentively. This information was much more comprehensive than what the skinny man and his companions had gathered. However, many things were somewhat distorted from the perspective of a teenager. Monsters were all tall and terrifying. Even an ordinary zombie could drive a group of people into a desperate situation. Any slight disturbance could be a terrifying natural disaster.

"The bar is just ahead, you can go there yourself."

Xiao Dong pointed to the densely packed crowd ahead from a distance and said.

Su Huan raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going? I'll treat you to barbecue."

When the topic of barbecue came up, Xiao Dong was clearly interested, but after hesitating for a moment, he declined.

"What, not even barbecue? How about two slices of bread? Maybe a bottle of soda too. If that doesn't tempt you, I'll suspect you're lying to me."

Seeing Su Huan's smile fade, Xiao Dong hurriedly waved his hands, "What I said is true, the bar does have these kinds of food, but I don't dare go in..."

“A beautiful woman came to the shelter. Young Master Qi has been staying at the bar. He doesn’t like kids like me. He’ll beat me up if he sees me.”

"Qi Tieshan's grandson is such a scoundrel, doesn't his grandfather do anything about it?"

Su Huan asked in surprise.

The people around them looked at the three of them with unfriendly expressions.

Xiao Dong was startled and put his index finger to his lips. "Shh!"

He explained in a low voice, "Grandpa Tieshan is a very nice person, it's just that Young Master Qi..."

"Got it, you spoiled brat, huh? But don't worry, I guarantee you'll have steak and toast today, and then you'll get home safely."

Su Huan's lips curled up, his narrow eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Let's go."

As Su Huan walked forward, Xiao Dong remained rooted to the spot. The giraffe gently nudged him as it passed by.

Xiao Dong hesitated for a moment, unsure whether it was his craving for beef or his belief in Su Huan's words, before quickly following after him.

He struggled to squeeze behind Su Huan and said, "There's still one bottle of soda left."

Su Huan clicked his tongue lightly; he liked ambitious guys the most.

Only when people face their own desires can they have the strength to achieve their goals.

The person standing in front of Su Huan suddenly felt a huge force squeezing from behind, causing his body to tilt. The woman cried out in pain as she was squeezed, while the man cursed loudly as he was squeezed.

The two men who had accidentally hugged each other turned around angrily, only to see Su Huan walking in with a smile on his face and his hands in his pockets.

"Kid, did you push me?"

Su Huan spread his hands innocently, "I just took my hand out..."

Xiao Dong quickly added, "We're both skinny, how could we possibly move such strong adults like you?"

The two were taken aback; what he said made perfect sense.

These two guys look like honest people; they shouldn't do this kind of thing.

So he let Su Huan pass, his gaze falling on the strong, powerful, and eagle-eyed giraffe behind him.

He shouted angrily, "That's what that long-necked guy did!"

"I can tell this isn't a good breed."

With the two people leading the way, the crowd's angry gazes fell on the giraffe.

The giraffe's face darkened. He caught a glimpse of Su Huan entering the room before turning a somber look at the men.

Say what you just said again.

Su Huan leisurely entered the bar, glanced around, and thought it was pretty good except for the large number of people.

The first thing you see is a small stage in the living room, where a crowd is swaying their bodies like a frenzied dancer.

The cloud-shaped area on the left should be an open kitchen, with the island converted into a bar counter. It was surrounded by people, but a few young men who looked like bartenders were quite relaxed.

Very few people can afford to order alcohol.

They were all chatting around the woman, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Su Huan's new face immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially those women who were disheveled and had hot figures, two of them even licked their lips at him.

Su Huan felt nauseous at the sight.

Using an energy barrier to block four or five hands reaching for his buttocks, the train conductor walked toward the bar with a dark expression.

He could tolerate the ugly women, though; opposites attract, and he could barely accept it.

But he had already memorized those two men.

Taking a deep breath, the train conductor decided to fulfill his promise to Xiao Dong before dealing with them.

Tap the marble countertop lightly, "Give me a grilled steak, two slices of bread, and a bottle of soda."

Three breaths passed.

The noise was still deafening, with several young bartenders loudly discussing how big the dancers' buttocks were and how exciting it was in bed.

Su Huan wasn't angry at all; all the bars he'd been to in his past life had pretty much the same script.

Whether it's financial resources or strength, if you don't demonstrate something, these brainless idiots won't take your words seriously at all.

Su Huan slammed his hand down on the table with a loud "thud".

Finally, it caught the attention of the two bartenders, but the lighting was dim, and they didn't see that the bar counter had been shattered.

He looked at Su Huan impatiently, "What are you trying to do?"

Xiao Dong nervously tugged at Su Huan's sleeve, "Um, brother, should we go...?"

Su Huan repeated his request, and before the bartender could refuse, he flicked a crystal into the bartender's mouth.

The bartender coughed and spat out a crystal. He was about to curse when he realized it was an ordinary polymorphic crystal. He quickly changed his expression and walked backstage.

Su Huan then turned his gaze to the hem of his clothes.

The latter quickly withdrew his hand, embarrassed, and said, "I wanted to drag you away, but I didn't expect it to actually work. By the way, what was that thing you just flicked out?"

Su Huan looked around and saw that all the few chairs in the bar were occupied.

He smashed the bar counter with a slap, and it was about to collapse at any moment, so he simply stood there with his arms crossed.

"Universal Energy Crystal, a precious crystal, its function is..." Su Huan casually uttered this valuable evolutionary information.

……

Deep inside the bar.

Perhaps it's because of the red wine.

A blush rose on the woman's delicate cheeks, her red lips were pink and glossy, and they softly deformed against the cup.

This made Qi Zhiyuan's heart flutter, and he became even more excited as he recounted his experience.

It boils down to three points: how amazing the refuge is, how amazing his father is, and how amazing his grandfather is.

The bodyguards on guard outside were tired of hearing it, but the woman remained unmoved.

Zhang Min didn't like this guy.

Listening to him speak was less appealing than sitting on the sofa looking out the window waiting for the train to appear; she didn't even need the train to actually appear.

As long as the train could possibly appear on this body of water, the man stood calmly inside the train.

That's enough for her.

He even imagined Su Huan standing in the front of the car, whether there were subordinates reporting to him, whether he was focused or indifferent... well, he was definitely indifferent.

Just imagining such details was enough to help her pass the time during these boring days.

She didn't know when it started, but Su Huan appeared in her mind more and more often, and she even forgot what she used to be like.

Now it seems like a shadow existing solely to follow in Su Huan's footsteps.

Because he thinks too much, he even imitates Su Huan's expressions and movements.

The reason why he could patiently listen to Qi Zhiyuan's spittle-filled nonsense was that he wanted to put himself in Su Huan's shoes.

Now she finally understands how ignorant and boring she was back then.

Suddenly, the "seed of hatred" in his heart trembled slightly, and his eyes, which had been slightly drunk, instantly cleared up.

Her abilities indicated that the man was right in front of her.

Zhang Min subconsciously raised her eyelids and looked ahead.

The crowd was indistinct, and the dancer swayed her hips to the music, creating a new climax in the atmosphere.

But there was no sign of that man.

Illusion?
A bitter smile crept onto Zhang Min's lips.

The flood area is so vast, how could he possibly come here? I really am...

Zhang Min lowered her eyelashes and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Your abilities are located nearby!
Moreover, from her "ability perspective," a solid and fervent "will" entered.

To her, everyone's emotions in this room were like vegetables in a fruit basket; she could pick and choose as she pleased.

But this will burned as intensely as a flame, so powerful that she dared not reach out.

I'm terrified of getting burned!

She's a first-tier evolved being!
Even Qi Jianguo, the strongest person in the Iron Mountain Refuge, was nothing more than a stronger puppet in front of her.

In other words, as long as one hasn't advanced to the next level, everyone is at her mercy.

Who exactly is the owner of this flame?!
Thinking of that impossible, only answer, Zhang Min felt her body temperature rising rapidly, and her mouth becoming dry.

The little deer in her heart was pounding wildly in her chest.

He suddenly stood up.

When Qi Zhiyuan saw the beauty get up, he thought it was his words that had piqued her interest, and began to speak in detail with great enthusiasm. He felt as if his soul was about to fall into her jewel-like eyes, but suddenly realized that there was no reflection of himself in them.

So he turned around in confusion, but couldn't see anything unusual about the crowd behind him.

The clicking sound of high heels rang in my ears.

As the long, slender legs encased in tactical trousers passed by him, Qi Zhiyuan suddenly felt a void in his heart and quickly followed.

……

Xiao Dong looked at Su Huan, who was speaking eloquently, with admiration. "Brother, how do you know so much?"

"Just bragging, what else could it be?"

The bartender brought over a bowl with a dark brown roasted steak and two slices of bread, the square bread with a noticeable missing corner.

The only thing that looks somewhat decent is the cola.

Although it's just a small 250ml bottle, it looks much better than bread and steak.

At least it's complete.

The bartender defiantly touched his mouth, clearly telling you that he was the one who ate it.

Su Huan looked at the food in the bowl and suddenly smiled, "I'm pretty awesome."

"Show me how awesome you are."

The bartender had been holding back his anger at Qi Zhiyuan, and since he had nowhere else to vent it, he took it all out on Su Huan.

Seize the opportunity to mock and ridicule.

Anyway, with the shelter behind him, no one can touch him in the bar.

To touch him would be to defy the rules of the shelter.

Just then, the crowd stirred in unison, then split into two distinct groups, creating a passageway.

A man and a woman walked over amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.

Xiao Dong, who was about to eat, saw the man and fear immediately appeared on his face. He got up and tried to run away, but a large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Turning my head, I saw Su Huan sitting calmly in the chair.

Don't waste food.

Xiao Dong was so anxious he was almost crying. "Brother, he's Young Master Qi! He's going to kill me!"

Qi Zhiyuan's gaze first fell on Su Huan, and he immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.

When did a man even more handsome than him arrive at the shelter?!
However, he did not sense any evolved human aura from the other party, which relieved him.

His gaze fell on Xiao Dong beside him, and he said coldly, "Who let you in? Did you ignore what I said?"

The music in the bar stopped at that moment, and the lights came on.

The noise stopped, cold sweat streamed down Xiao Dong's forehead, his face was pale, and he opened his mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.

Qi Zhiyuan was very satisfied with Xiao Dong's and everyone else's reactions; it seemed that he had regained all the face he had lost with Zhang Min.

He subconsciously glanced at the woman next to him out of the corner of his eye.

It turned out that Zhang Min's gaze was fixed on the long-haired pretty boy.

Yes, he's a pretty boy.

A good-looking but utterly useless piece of trash!

Zhang Min's attention drove Qi Zhiyuan to the brink of madness with jealousy. He had spent so many days trying to get Zhang Min to even glance at him.

I barely managed to get a chance to get close to her today by borrowing some red wine.

He might get a beating from his dad or grandpa tomorrow because of this bottle of red wine.

Despite spending so much, I still couldn't win the beauty's favor.

As a result, this pretty boy got it just by sitting there.

He was so jealous that he wanted to rush up and tear all that long hair to shreds!
