Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 278 Uprising
"And to Donghuang Heavy Industry, sorry to bother you."

A man and a woman hurried down from the rooftop. Compared to the others who exuded a sharp and menacing aura, the woman had a scholarly air about her, and the equipment she carried made her look more like a scientific researcher. The man behind her was tall and thin, and looked no different from the others.

Su Huan didn't even need his abilities; he could tell at a glance that the three of them, Gunfire and the others, were all second-tier evolvers, and of the two newcomers, the tall, thin man was also a second-tier evolver.

Only when Hei Yuan came out did he realize that the old woman's true nature was unknown.

It didn't even have much energy fluctuation, and its whole body had a decaying aura, like an old antique that crawled out of the last century. Every move it made was obviously out of place with everyone else.

Based on the information provided by Shu Wei before the war, it is likely that he is the second director of Black Kite.

The fact that the mistress rose to power and was able to overpower Mr. Shu suggests there must be a story behind it.

Unfortunately, the train conductor is too busy to listen to stories right now.

As for Jin Yuan beside the woman, a second-tier "Wandering God," he still had his weapon in his hand.

"Damn it, those useless bunch outside, they let five in without a word out of more than three hundred people!"

The goat muttered a curse.

Yu Yue gently shook her head and quietly walked behind Su Huan.

The others also gathered around the train conductor.

"Quite polite."

Su Huan smiled and unfastened the white bracelet on his wrist.

The terrifying aura of the two second-tier evolved beings spread unchecked throughout the theater.

Thanks to Black Kite's attention, Su Huan made a perfect advancement in battle, becoming a second-tier "Fighting Expert." It sounds unremarkable, far less impressive than the dozen or so evolutionary paths such as "Martial Artist," "Death Gladiator," "Iron Fist," and "Fist Master."

But the name is secondary; the most important thing is how well the awakened abilities match the existing ones.

For example, the two newly awakened skills of the "Fighting Expert".

The first one is called "Gas Vortex". As the name suggests, it is a special fighting technique. "Fighting experts" can classify it as a regular move. When you strike, you create a vortex of gas, which has the added effects of suction, grabbing and deflection.

It can also be used as an "enchantment" that simply increases lethality.

In the "Fighter" stage, the main attack method is "hitting," while in the "Fighting Expert" stage, the main combat method becomes "grabbing." Although it is still unarmed, the difficulty of dealing with the opponent increases dramatically.

Because reality is not a game, although "fighting experts" are very skilled with their bare hands, no one will actually fight bare-handed; they will all train to use a handy weapon to some extent.

The mainstream fighting style in the wilderness is like that of Jin Yuan, who can shoot you down with a single spear thrust.

The second skill is more direct and is called "Inner Vision".

Although there were many methods of "inner vision" before the end times, none of them were as direct as the evolved ones.

This allows the abstract concept to be made concrete.

This skill is the core reason why Su Huan chose this profession.

In his previous life, he heard that when the skill "Inner Vision" evolved to an advanced level, the evolved being could rely on it to examine hidden injuries and perform minor repairs.

Unfortunately, he had never met a second-tier "fighting expert" in his previous life, and even the "high-tier" he had heard of was just a third-tier powerhouse who lived only in other people's mouths.

There are many legends like this in the wilderness.

The advancement method he possessed was through the exchange of Deep Blue data packages. He hadn't paid much attention to it initially, but this evolutionary direction came into his view after the genetic collapse.

The gamble is that "internal vision" can resolve potential health problems in the later stages.

As Su Huan fully unleashed his aura.

The three gunmen, who had been relaxed, suddenly became alert and activated their abilities to be on guard. Outwardly, each of them looked like a wild beast that had fought its way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, exuding a terrifying sense of threat just by standing there.

The tall, thin man shielded the woman behind him, glancing warily at Su Huan.

"bass!"

With a casual flick of his wrist, the foil whistled through the air.

Su Huan looked down at everyone and said, "Now that everyone's here, let's all come at once."

"Wait a moment!"

The second director frowned immediately. "Who said we came here to besiege you?"

Su Huan pointed the tip of his sword at the four-armed demon, Zhong You, and the butler on the ground, a slight smile playing on his lips. "They initially said they were there to maintain security during the negotiations. Hey, you're not going to say you're here to negotiate too, are you?"

Sensing the sarcasm in the train conductor's words, the second director swallowed back his words of negotiation.

But upon reflection, no matter how tactful one is, it carries a strong sense of irony at this point.

'Having lived for over a hundred years, this is the first time I've encountered such an annoying brat!'

The second director was so angry he stomped his feet. He said stiffly, "Force is the basis for negotiation. I'm not forcing you. This time, Black Kite admits defeat. We hope you will give us reasonable terms."

"Ha ha……"

"Thunder Pool".

Without warning, a dense, almost deathly white thunderbolt spread from Su Huan to every corner of the theater in an instant.

Each time lightning struck an obstacle, it would explode into hundreds of branching lightning bolts, ionizing the air within a ten-mile radius into a blinding blue-white.

The ground was instantly covered with a layer of water-like lightning liquid. When someone tried to escape upwards, they suddenly found that the sky was already covered by a rolling lake of lightning.

One after another, shocked or incredulous gazes were cast toward the tyrannical figure in the center.

"If you want to fight, then fight; if you want to negotiate, then negotiate. Who the hell gave you that right?"

The train conductor's voice was like ice on a deep pool, cold to the point of being almost sharp.

"Is this energy intensity really second-order?!"

The woman from Donghuang Heavy Industry had a look of intense shock in her eyes.

But before he could get close enough to observe, he was pulled away by the tall, thin man.

Zhongyou, sitting in the corner, stared blankly at the scene before him, his face twitching unconsciously.

The image of himself being covered by the Thunder Pool as soon as he gathered his power in the Frost Abyss was replayed in his mind.

Lightning is fast enough, and its absurd density is tolerable, but why can't it even stop the pure water he refined with his abilities?!

This skill is like having a cheat code!
The burly man with gunfire quickly shouted, "We're not here to fight you, we genuinely believe the armed train..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning struck his mouth.

Su Huan's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The second director looked up sharply and saw the train conductor, his mouth stretched to his ears, laughing wildly as he approached. Lightning flashed in the corners of his eyes, his long hair flew wildly, and he charged at him like a thunder demon, wielding a flower sword in one hand and a spear in the other.

The second director felt his heart skip a beat for a moment.

But she reacted quickly, flicked her decorative umbrella, causing her skirt to billow with smoke, and suddenly darted backward a short distance.

"what?"

Su Huan's dark pupils were brimming with killing intent. He held the flower sword upside down, his fingertips trembling. A terrifying vortex of gas appeared out of thin air in his palm, and the Second Director, who had flashed away, flew back like a bird with a broken wing.

"Damn it!"

A loud shout rang in his ears, and Su Huan narrowed his eyes into a tiny slit, then flipped his hand and plunged the flower sword into his lower back.

The man with the golden kite hesitated for a moment, then stepped back after seeing the second director run away.

However, the lightning on the sword tip suddenly flickered, unexpectedly interrupting Jin Yuan's retreat.

Thunderstorm.

The lightning swept over the opponent. The slender dagger pierced the body almost silently, without drawing even a drop of blood.

He put down the foil, switched the cold blue spear in his left hand to his dominant hand, and aimed the spear tip at the second director who was flashing wildly in the arena. In an instant, the sharp sound of it cutting through the air even drowned out the hiss of the Razer snake.

"boom!"

The bullet pierced a large hole in the wall.

The second director also crawled out from under the gun in a way that Su Huan found hard to understand.

His intuition told him that the old woman was injured.

But how serious it is is uncertain.

Su Huan stopped and stood still, his straight back like a drawn bow.

"Would you like to try my marksmanship too?"

A faint voice echoed in the room.

The four Tier 2 fighters from Donghuang Heavy Industry and Gunfire were so frightened that they dared not move. The two of them clung to the wall like geckos, and the metal objects on their bodies occasionally attracted a small stream of lightning from the Thunder Pool.

"Slap—slap—" It hit my body.

But the two of them stood like wooden figures, not daring to make the slightest movement.

"Come down."

Su Huan said calmly.

The group climbed down obediently, each looking at Jin Yuan, who was stiffly standing behind Su Huan, with resentful eyes.

A dignified second-tier "Wandering God" couldn't even hold on for a single breath?

From beginning to end, Su Huan only made one move: thrusting his flower sword backward.

Therefore, this battle, which involved multiple second-tier evolved beings, ended exceptionally briefly.

Everyone was terrified by Su Huan's decisiveness and ruthlessness.

As the train conductor calmed down, Lei Chi quieted down as well.

The deep blue lightning liquid beneath their feet resembled a moonlit pool, dreamlike and magnificent.

All the different angles of the audience in the theater were focused on the wild and domineering figure in the very center.

The man leading the gunfire tried to speak, but his tongue, numb from the electric shock, could only utter some indistinct syllables.

He wasn't sure how long it would take for his tongue to recover, but he was certain that what was before him was probably the first major force to rise since the apocalypse, even though this force only had two thousand people, was only the size of a kilometer-long train, and had resources less than one percent, or even a fraction of a percent, of their firepower...

But as long as this person exists, the entire area the train passes through will become their territory!

The struggle for the Primarchy will not only not subside because of this battle, but will instead intensify.

The same conclusion was reached by the leaders of all the major powers present.

On the other side, the woman from Donghuang Heavy Industry said sincerely, "Donghuang Heavy Industry really didn't intend to destroy the armed train, otherwise we wouldn't have only sent the two of us. We just wanted to make contact with forces like yours that survived the apocalypse and learn about the situation in other regions..."

Su Huan's eyes darted around, and he suddenly shouted, "He Jie, if you're not dead, level these nearby hills!"

The cold voice was like a stone thrown into water, the sound waves spreading outwards in layers.

Although they did not receive a reply from He Jie, the sky suddenly brightened for a few moments, and the sounds of artillery fire mixed with the deafening roar of landslides filled the air.

The woman was somewhat bewildered, not understanding the meaning behind Su Huan's actions.

The three gunners didn't look too happy.

"Are you feeling distressed?"

Su Huan asked.

The bearded man, scratching his messy curly hair, said bitterly, "There's a vehicle for the three of us on that mountain. You have no idea how far the headquarters of the gunfire is from here, or what that vehicle means to us."

Su Huan subconsciously wanted to say something sarcastic, but seeing the other party's honest attitude, he said gently, "If you're heading north, you can take my train."

The bearded man shook his head decisively, "That won't do. Besides observing your conflict with Black Kite, we have other tasks."

Another person suddenly said, "The parties involved are right here. Why don't we trade them some mutated plants that can increase our vitality?"

"Idiot, do you think you can beat him?"

"That's it."

The woman from Donghuang Heavy Industry immediately said, "We also want to discuss some deals with the armed train."

"trade?"

Su Huan's eyes swept over.

Looking at the messy surroundings and the unfortunate second-tier creatures like Black Kite, the woman said awkwardly, "My position in the company isn't that high. I can only act as a middleman to make simple connections. The final decision depends on your and our leader's opinion..."

Su Huan was not surprised that Gunfire and Donghuang Heavy Industry changed their tune so quickly.

When they saw him clearly demonstrate his formidable strength, no one was crazy enough to want to fight him.

What's more, they can't beat them.

But Su Huan still didn't intend to give them a friendly look.

The more assertive and unscrupulous you are at such times, the more obedient they become.

True ability lies not in how much value you can create, but in how much destruction you can cause.

She pulled off the tiger skin trick well, but unfortunately, she didn't expect Su Huan to be completely unmoved by it.

What difference would it make if we all died here?
Since we're already here, these two more pitfalls won't make a difference.

They really think that forming some kind of bullshit alliance can stop him?

As long as he continues to maintain his evolutionary lead, these people will only watch his back grow further and further away!

"Then let's wait a bit, I have some things to take care of here."

Su Huan turned his head, grabbed Jin Yuan with one hand, whose neck could only turn slightly, and dragged her back to Liang Kuan's side.

His sword strike was not just a simple penetrating wound.

Instead, it pierced right through his heart, the foil embedding itself in his ribs.

It was only kept alive by the powerful vitality of a second-tier evolved being.

Once pulled out, without proper rescue, even a Tier 2 "Defender" would die on the spot!
"Make a one-to-one replica of Liang Kuan's wounds on his body. Make sure he doesn't die."

Hearing Su Huan's words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

They subtly labeled Su Huan as cold-blooded and cruel.

After finishing this task, Su Huan arrived directly opposite Mr. Shu.

Whether it was his sudden attack or the escape of the second director, Mr. Shu remained indifferent.

Su Huan admired this composed demeanor.

It remains to be seen whether he will be able to maintain this composure when it comes to paying war reparations.

Su Huan rubbed his hands together, like a gambler performing a ritual to improve his luck before dealing cards, then pressed down on Mr. Shu's shoulders and sat back down on the leather sofa.

"Come on, Lao Shu, let's continue our negotiations."

(I drove three or four hundred kilometers to pick up and drop off relatives. People who knew me thought I was going to my engagement party, but they thought I was driving a long distance. The taillights are so bright that I can't focus my eyes now. I'm completely numb.)
