Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 69 D-Rank Squad

Upon hearing Su Huan's voice, Lu Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he straightened up.

Su Huan walked in first, followed by his third brother who had gone to find him.

After glancing at the wounds of the several injured men, Su Huan frowned. "This is... an encounter with an earth dragon?"

Lu Xiao silently memorized the name and said in a deep voice, "Bad luck. When we were picking that mutated plant that looks like an onion, we were attacked by something that burrowed out of the ground. Two people were bitten to death on the spot, three were injured, and two others panicked and ran away. They probably won't come back. As for the rest, they weren't my people."

“She’s not one of yours…” Su Huan searched the crowd but didn’t see the woman, feeling a little disappointed.

He walked over and patted Lin Xia on the shoulder, saying casually, "A simple bandage will suffice; medical resources need to be exchanged."

Lu Xiao frowned. "We have to charge you for picking plants?"

Su Huan held up a finger and shook it, saying seriously, "You need to understand that you are working for me, while they are working for you. As their captain, you should make your own decision: whether to abandon these team members or exchange them for corresponding medical resources."

The wounded man lying on the ground immediately realized what was happening and began to wail at Lu Xiao.

"Captain, I'm only twenty-one years old. I don't want to die, please..."

"I picked several mutated plants."

Lu Xiao's face darkened instantly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't tell me that after working all afternoon, the mutated plant I brought back will still owe you treatment fees."

“They do owe me for treatment.” Su Huan’s gaze was frank. “I’m not playing any word games with you. This was a test of qualifications, and these mutated plants are the exam papers you have to submit.”

"Now you have two choices: drop the exam or continue. So tell me your choice: do you want to continue?"

Amidst the wailing sounds, Su Huan's calm inquiry carried a certain cruelty.

Lu Xiao's chest heaved a few times as he regained his composure. "Of course we'll continue!"

A woman nearby handed over a black bag, which the third brother took and, at Su Huan's prompting, opened and emptied out.

A dozen or so mutated plants with white fruits lay on the floor of the carriage, their roots still attached to clods of soil.

It looks fresh and firm.

Su Huan nodded, instructed the third brother to take it to carriage number 7 and hand it to Huang Hai, then looked at Lu Xiao and extended a hand, smiling, "Welcome to the Armed Train."

Lu Xiao stared intently into Su Huan's eyes, and only after five breaths did he slowly grasp them.

Instantly separate.

Seeing that Lu Xiao wasn't causing any trouble, Su Huan's smile became more sincere.

He actually admired Gao Zhe and gave him opportunities, but unfortunately that guy always wanted to replace him.

Lu Xiao is different.

Currently, the two get along quite well.

Little did they know that the things they saw were different depending on when they boarded the bus.

When Gao Zhe got on the bus, he saw Su Huan exploiting ordinary people like pigs, dogs, cattle, and horses, while when Lu Xiao got on the bus, he saw Su Huan standing at the front of the bus clearing the way for everyone.

Therefore, there are subtle differences.

"Now you are the captain of the first D-level basic squad of the armed train. Carriage 17 will become your squad's exclusive carriage. A water tank will be installed for you tomorrow and a water purifier will be connected. But let me make it clear in advance that you still need to pay for the water."

This was exactly the system of the Steel Council, and Su Huan used it directly without any psychological pressure.

"You have the right to take priority for armed train missions, but you must complete a mission of the corresponding level once a week. You can choose the mission yourself, but occasionally a mandatory mission will be issued. You must complete it, and you cannot delay or shirk your responsibilities. Failure will result in the deprivation of the corresponding rights depending on the circumstances."

"Your current rights allow you to exchange for medical resources, food, clean water and other necessities, weapons and ammunition, evolutionary information, special equipment of the train, luxury goods such as cigarettes, alcohol and coffee, and you have a certain credit limit."

After speaking, Su Huan glanced at the woman beside him and added, "We don't provide women at the moment." Lu Xiao's eyes lit up slightly. "What's the credit limit?"

"There's no accurate calculation right now, so it depends on my mood," Su Huan said bluntly.

Lu Xiao was taken aback, his expression turning strange. "What about the train's special equipment?"

"It hasn't been built yet."

"...Weapons and ammunition?"

"Too few, we won't sell them for now."

"Damn it!" Lu Xiao laughed in exasperation, unable to resist cursing, "So they were all just empty promises?"

Su Huan pondered for a moment, realizing that this was indeed discouraging, and sincerely said, "Why don't you try something else?"

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Evolutionary information?"

"You're too poor, I don't want to extend credit to you for now."

Lu Xiao: "?"

If he weren't outmatched, he really wanted to rub Su Huan's smiling, handsome face under his military boots.

This damn bastard gave him the illusion of facing his old squad leader.

"Stop making me guess, just tell me what I can get," she said irritably.

Su Huan thought for a moment, "Are you sure you want to treat those three?"

Lu Xiao waved his hand impatiently, "Treat him! He definitely needs to be treated!"

If he doesn't get treatment in front of so many people, people's hearts will be scattered, and who will dare to go out with him in the future?
Su Huan called out with a smile, "Did you hear me? Use the best medicine!"

Linxia, ​​who was setting bones, responded with a sweat pouring down her face. The patient under her care was already foaming at the mouth and shivering from the pain.

The other wounded soldiers turned their attention to their temporary leader.

However, their team only collected some ordinary supplies and did not bring back the mutated plants they needed, so they were not qualified to exchange them with Su Huan.

Having resolved this minor incident, Su Huan continued to Lu Xiao, "I can also tell you some basic information about evolved beings, as well as the levels of some common zombies, to prevent you from suffering heavy losses due to not recognizing them."

Lu Xiao responded with a serious expression.

Su Huan glanced around and shrugged. "This isn't the place to talk."

The two walked two carriages ahead, and the people behind them looked disappointed.

At times like these, everyone wants to gain power.

Su Huan gave him a brief explanation, which, though brief, was enough to enlighten Lu Xiao.

"So I'm the defender?"

"And it's geared towards power; I also have your subsequent evolutionary path."

Having learned of this guy's habit of not acting until he saw a clear benefit, Lu Xiao asked directly, "What's the price?"

"I haven't decided yet. I suggest you do more tasks, increase your team level, and unlock more privileges."

Lu Xiao really wanted to roll his eyes at him. You haven't even finished drawing the picture yet, and you're already telling me to eat it?
"How many levels does your squad have in total?"
