Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 270 Wild Jackal Nobles
This timing of his appearance was certainly not a coincidence.

Su Huan's cannon shot did indeed make a good impression, which is why Mr. Shu did not appear immediately.

Letting the young people from Black Kite interact with Su Huan first, whether it leads to conflict or they ignore each other, will help to deflate Su Huan's momentum.

Wait for the right moment, then say something from the perspective of an elder that is neither too distant nor too close. This combination of words, both subtle and forceful, will steadily suppress Su Huan's arrogance.

Whether Su Huan was furious or resigned to his fate, the momentum he had built up earlier dissipated at this point.

Thinking of this, Mr. Shu couldn't help but hum softly to himself.

He wore a subtle smile, his eyes fixed intently on Su Huan below.

I want to see how this young man will react.

Although he couldn't use "Universal Energy Perception" on a large scale, Su Huan could still tell that Mr. Shu was an ordinary person at such close range.

He possessed a smooth and composed official air about him, but his advanced age made him appear dull and lifeless, instantly arousing disgust at first glance.

He glanced at her casually and his gaze fell on Wang Yi, who was standing to the side.

Now we finally know who Shu Wei inherited her sharp eyebrows and eyes from.

The most striking similarity between Yu Jing and Yu Yue is their eyes, especially when Yu Yue picks up a sniper rifle or is serious.

The most striking resemblance between Shu Wei and her daughter Wang Yi lies in their bone structure.

Their eyebrows were steep and sharp, and their noses were high and straight; they were almost identical.

However, Wang Yi had a more voluptuous figure than Shu Wei, a figure that exuded the air of a pampered noblewoman. It was this voluptuousness that added to her elegance, making her less domineering than Shu Wei.

But when standing at a high place, that inherent arrogance gradually becomes more apparent.

To put it more simply...

She's stunningly beautiful, not someone to be trifled with.

As Su Huan sized her up, Wang Yi also sized up this bastard who had captured her daughter. Although they had met indirectly through her abilities, a hint of amazement still flashed in her eyes when she saw Su Huan in person.

This stunning beauty is the highest praise for evolution.

It's just that his character is a bit wicked.

Based on the information about Su Huan, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel a hint of contempt.

Although their evolutionary ability is good, their character is too poor. They will not go far in this changing era. Evolution is not just about who moves the fastest; power, resources, and character are all indispensable.

Apart from this body, everything else about Su Huan was considered inferior in her eyes.

So what if the Armed Train defeated the Steel Council? It was nothing more than playing with fire.

Both the Steel Council and Black Kite had countless opportunities to start over, but the Armed Train never did. They had no right to lose; such a force was nothing more than duckweed on the water, unreliable.

But the thought of her daughter being taken advantage of by this scoundrel filled Wang Yi with disgust as she looked at Su Huan.

It's not that she was being presumptuous, but rather that she knew all too well how attractive a daughter who resembled her could be to a man.

No man will let go of a piece of fatty meat that's within his grasp.

Wang Yi glanced at her submissive daughter beside her, thinking that she would ask her daughter's opinion when she had time later. If her daughter nodded, she would spare the bastard's life after dismantling the armed train, so that he could stay by her daughter's side. With his evolutionary potential, he was qualified to protect her.

If my daughter doesn't want to, I'll drag her out and skin her to feed the fish after we're done!
……

Seeing Su Huan staring at his ex-wife in deep thought, Mr. Shu felt a little uncomfortable.

But he maintained the demeanor of an elder, saying, "Since I invited you here in my name, it's not a formal negotiation, so there's no need to be so nervous."

Shu Wei, who was standing to the side, twitched the corner of her mouth.

nervous?

Is it more nerve-wracking to dig pits when a flash flood is coming, or when leading a million zombies to slaughter a city?
That manic smile clearly showed he was enjoying himself.

As for now...

Shu Wei stole a glance at the train conductor, whose brows were furrowed and eyes were slightly unfocused, as if he was pondering some profound question.

A sense of unease inexplicably welled up in my heart, and my heart jumped into my throat.

Su Huan couldn't understand his overt and covert suppression, and was currently recalling his limited social experience.

'If the other person is an elder, they will greet you very politely...'

'Don't be sarcastic'

'Don't be sarcastic'

'Speak in a calm tone'

'Make your expression sincere'

Praise others.

'...'

He carefully considered his words, and after a long while, as if he had come up with a brilliant response, he said earnestly to the two of them, "Your wife is very beautiful."

When her clear and magnetic voice echoed in the hall, even the bubbles in the champagne seemed to freeze.

Tan Yunxi's lips parted slightly, and the incessant cursing in his mind stopped. He couldn't remember what the next sentence was.

Bo Qingqing looked at Su Huan with a look of utter disbelief.

They had initially looked down on him, but now they had completely abandoned their hostility. In a place heavily guarded by Black Kite, he was so blatantly flirting with the ex-wife of Director No. 3!
Where exactly did Shu Wei find this lunatic?

Many people share the same thoughts as Bo Qingqing.

The third director is no joke; he is the true power holder of Black Kite!
Although Black Kite has a total population of only a few hundred thousand, with its highly concentrated talent and resources, it is capable of waging a war of annihilation against a small country before the apocalypse!
The third director is the third-in-command of this "organization," and currently the temporary leader!

This is also the main reason why people gave up their comfortable and safe lives to come to the border of the flood zone to participate in this salon.

Everyone was trying to slow their breathing as much as possible, for fear that they were hallucinating.

Zhong You was even more surprised. He admitted that Su Huan was very strong, even stronger than himself.

But to insult Mr. Shu in public like this, aren't you afraid of dying on the spot?

What puzzled him even more was what was the relationship between Shu Wei and this person, and why she hadn't said a word until now, and even seemed to be subservient to this person.
What level of power does the Armed Train possess?

As the person involved, Wang Yi's expression was unpredictable. In this situation, she certainly wouldn't take those words as a compliment, and her eyes showed even more disgust for Su Huan.

Su Huan keenly sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere, and then reviewed his own words.

'There shouldn't be any problem, but why does it look so familiar...'

Turning her head to look at Shu Wei beside her, she asked, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Seeing Su Huan's genuine doubt, Shu Wei's anxiety completely subsided; at least he wasn't serious.

After observing him for a while, I realized that although Su Huan seemed dissolute, he didn't have many women in his car. Yu Jing and Lin Xi could only be considered half of them. The only women he had a real relationship with were himself and Yu Yue.

From a post-apocalyptic moral perspective, he could be considered to have maintained his integrity.

But let's summarize the commonalities between the two.

Twenty-nine, slightly mature, older than her age, plus the public identities of Yu Yue and Yu Jing...

So when Shu Wei heard the train conductor's praise of her mother, she really panicked.

She didn't want her reunion with her mother after so many years to be in such an awkward atmosphere.

Fortunately, the other person was just having a relapse.

"I didn't mean that." "Then I'll thank you for your praise on her behalf." Mr. Shu's old face was somewhat gloomy, and the pauses in each word felt like a knife was being used to stab his flesh.

"Now that the guests have arrived, let's begin."

Mr. Shu took Wang Yi's arm and turned to leave.

Only after the other person's figure disappeared did a few whispers return to the hall. Music, seemingly from nowhere, drifted melodiously through the hall, and the waiters, who had been like puppets, began to move.

But the gazes fixed on Su Huan did not diminish; on the contrary, they became even more intense.

Bo Qingqing looked at Su Huan with a hint of pity, "I don't know if you're really stupid or just really brave. I hope you can live to see the roast suckling pig served, train conductor."

Upon hearing the familiar tone, Su Huan's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Bo Qingqing, asking, "Who is this?"

Shu Wei glanced at Bo Qingqing indifferently, "A gossipy bitch."

"Oh, but she used the correct title..."

"you!"

Bo Qingqing was stunned for a moment after being scolded, and then her face turned red and then pale.

Although Shu Wei and she had some disagreements before, he had never cursed her like this in front of others. What kind of bewitching potion did this man give her that she would still side with him after he insulted her father?
"Shu Wei, can't you tell right from wrong?"

Bo Qingqing said sharply.

"But I can distinguish between close and distant relationships."

As someone in the same circle, Shu Wei naturally knew her situation, and when she stabbed someone in the back, she was both accurate and ruthless.

"...You'll regret this!"

Bo Qingqing didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only shout angrily at Shu Wei.

Then he turned and walked towards the inner hall.

Her slender waist swayed, and her high heels stomped on the ground with a clicking sound.

'Has this a complete breakdown in relations?'

As Tan Yunxi listened to their conversation, her pretty face flushed with excitement. If you looked closely, you could see an extra thumbprint on her right side.

Seeing the waiter approach, Shu Wei stepped forward, took the waiter's place, and led Su Huan into the inner hall.

Leaving behind a group of young people whose eyes were gleaming with gossip.

The noise in the hall immediately rose.

Zhong You frowned as he watched this scene. Things happened too quickly. From the sound of the cannon to Su Huan entering the room and the several verbal exchanges, everything happened within ten minutes. He had been trying to say a few words to Shu Wei but couldn't find an opportunity.

Although Shu Wei did not have any close contact with Su Huan, and at the closest point they were together they were always two body lengths apart, Shu Wei's attitude towards Su Huan made him feel vaguely uneasy.

It's like the building was completed, but when dawn broke, the moon had already disappeared.

Zhongyou quickly followed.

Just then, they saw the waiter stop the two bodyguards that Su Huan had brought.

A dispute is about to break out between the two sides.

Zhong You stepped forward and said coldly, "You are armed personnel, you can only stay in the outer hall."

The giraffe tilted its head. Although it sensed that this kid was somewhat formidable, it was still unwilling to back down. With a smirk, it uttered a string of profanities, "***... Even if we take a step back, who knows if you have good intentions?"

Bai Lu chimed in from the side, glaring and scolding, "What are you looking at? You pretty boy, you're no good at all!"

Don't be fooled by their subservience in front of He Jie. Once they leave the military camp, aren't they all seasoned veterans?
The newcomers came one after another, like a comedian performing a stand-up comedy routine. Their insults were both harsh and cunning, which nearly drove Zhongyou to a rage.

Who's the gigolo?!

His skin tone is clearly a healthy tan. Do you think everyone looks like you two, all tanned and dark-skinned?!

Who is the gigolo?

Hearing the cursing, Su Huan turned around and looked over.

I just happened to see Shuanglu jumping up and down as she increased the intensity of Zhongyou's livid face.

The giraffe took a half step back, landing under the conductor's cover, and sneered, "Conductor, this kid looks down on us and won't let me in!"

Bai Lu, not being so quick-witted, just nodded vigorously from the side.

Seeing these two blatantly distorting the truth, Zhongyou was so angry that his face turned from green to red. However, without Mr. Shu's orders, he could only retaliate if the other party took action.

So he could only suppress his anger and explain, "Armed personnel are not allowed to enter the inner hall."

Su Huan suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. So, it's fine if they don't go in?"

Although somewhat surprised by Su Huan's agreeable nature, Zhong You's expression eased considerably.

The giraffe next to them clapped its hands and shouted, "You should have said so earlier! If you had, we wouldn't have gone in. We're not the kind of people who make trouble!"

Upon hearing this, a group of attendants, whose bodies clearly emanated energy fluctuations, glanced at Zhong You's expression, then remained silent, keeping their mouths shut and their minds at ease.

This is just fooling yourself!

After Zhongyou understood, he sneered repeatedly in anger.

"You two can grab something to eat outside. I'm going in first," Su Huan instructed.

The giraffe gave him a subtle, cautious look, then pulled the white deer, who was still trying to add something extra for Zhongyou, toward a table next to the hall.

There was a lot of food on it, including common pastries and even fruits that hadn't mutated. The rich kids were too busy chatting to eat anything; he was already drooling over it.

As the giraffe walked, it muttered, "This is the first time I've heard you swear. You're quite eloquent, and many of your words are my own."

White deer, "(`へ*)ノ"

Giraffe: "How come I've never seen you so efficient in front of Captain He?"

Bai Lu: "Didn't you learn that from him too?"

Giraffe, "Yes..."

Seeing the two people outside eating and drinking heartily, Su Huan turned around with a smile and walked into the inner hall.

A banquet fraught with danger?

He's eating a trap today!

……

The inner hall is smaller than the outer hall, but the decoration is more luxurious, and the color scheme is richer than that of the outer hall. Many things do not look like they have not been taken care of for four or five months.

In a corner, a band of about a dozen people began playing music that hadn't been influenced by the train conductor.

To be honest, it's not as exciting as the train's wake-up bell.

There were over a hundred people in the outer hall, but only a dozen or so entered the inner hall, fewer than the number of waiters. They whispered among themselves in the corners, occasionally casting a disdainful and greedy glance.

This familiar feeling made Su Huan feel as if he had returned to the wilderness.

Those gazes were so intense and greedy.

The people here are no different.

It just has an extra layer of skin, the outer hall.

(Brothers, I have some good news to announce: I'm getting engaged on the 31st. This month might be a bit busy. Another piece of good news: I won't be taking any more advice this month, so there won't be any breaks in updates for the engagement. But if I really miss an update... I'll figure something out.)
