Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 71 Two thousand tons, you think you can ram your head into it?

Anyone who has ever plugged an electrical outlet knows that you can't scream when you get an electric shock.

It felt like all the muscles in my body were being attacked at once.

Tremors, contractions...

And that's the feeling this big gray wolf has.

It flashed briefly in the night, its fur stood on end, it emitted a burnt smell, and its cruel and venomous beastly eyes became somewhat clear.

Su Huan curled his lip. This electric current could kill a person, but it only paralyzed the big gray wolf for a moment.

The third brother nudged the two brothers hard with his elbow, "Practice your shooting! What are you standing there for?"

"Da da da……"

The leader belatedly realized what was happening and unleashed a burst of 25 bullets.

The firelight flickered, and a string of blood droplets shot out from beneath the glossy fur.

But the blow hit the shoulder, not a fatal one.

The third brother was so angry he jumped up and down, yelling, "Three shots in a row! Three shots in a row! Instead of using such a good target to practice your lousy marksmanship, you're wasting bullets here!"

The piercing howls of the dire wolves rang out, drowning out the third wolf's voice. The other wolves attacked the armed train even more fiercely, with crashes and scratches filling the air.

But the train remained completely still.

Just kidding, a standard 1.25m x 2.5m steel plate weighs nearly 300 kilograms. Not to mention the weight of the armored train itself, the steel plates attached to the front and back weigh more than 2,000 tons!
Several Tier 1 Dire Wolves, along with a pack of wolves that hadn't fully evolved, couldn't climb in even after smashing their heads to pieces.

This is why Su Huan firmly chose the train over the RV/truck.

Faced with these beasts that have made rapid progress in physical evolution.

Weight is the biggest advantage of armed trains.

Although the steel plates of the green carriages behind were very thin, they were not something that a dire wolf could easily tear apart.

Even the Night Demon could only break through the surface by making holes of varying sizes in the carriages, eventually squeezing in through the windows that lacked explosion-proof netting.

But now the entire train is covered with explosion-proof netting on the windows, so it's impossible to find a loophole.

They can only get shot outside.

As the rhythmic three-shot bursts rang out, the mournful howls of dire wolves echoed from outside the window.

Su Huan picked up the Night Owl-X7 sniper rifle in his hand and habitually removed the magazine to check the ammunition capacity.

He licked his lips as he looked at the 7.62mm bullets packed inside.

Skillfully loading the magazine and pulling the bolt.

This is the advantage of being affiliated with a major power. Although Su Huan didn't have extra money to buy guns in his previous life, he was in a team and at least got to know all the common models, so he wouldn't be unable to find the bolt.

Hearing the click of a bullet being chambered, every cell in my body came alive in that instant.

'Perhaps I should advance to a profession related to firearms…'

Su Huan couldn't help but think this to himself as he aimed his gun at a dire wolf hiding behind it.

"Remember to mute me." He casually reminded Yu Yue beside him.

The next instant, the trigger was pulled.

The bullet was ejected silently.

The eyeball of the dire wolf, which had not yet evolved to the first tier, shattered instantly, and it collapsed to the ground.

Only then did the wolf king realize that his pack had suffered another loss, but he was still helpless against the tin can in front of him.

After killing three ordinary dire wolves in succession, Su Huan put down his gun and turned to Yu Yue beside him, "How about it, have you got it?"

Yu Yue's face stiffened, and she shook her head slightly.

Su Huan acted as if he hadn't heard her and simply shoved the sniper rifle into her hands.

No one on the entire train was more suited to the sniper position than her; her abilities made a silencer unnecessary.

"Give it a try, and if you do well, you'll get a treat tonight." Yu Yue, clutching the large gun in her hands, awkwardly twisted her eyebrows. "I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Huan grabbed her and pulled her to the car window, holding her wrist as he picked up a sniper rifle. The high temperature made the man's aura even stronger, like a wall surrounding her from all sides.

Everything felt hard to the touch.

"Concentrate."

Su Huan whispered in her ear.

……

Overturned vehicles were still piled up on the national highway not far away, along with survivors who had been dragged out, each torn to pieces, their flesh mangled and bloody. Those who had miraculously survived were groaning in pain in pools of blood.

Meanwhile, on the train, there was a strange tranquility amidst the tension.

Even though everything was happening in the same place, the people inside the car felt like they were in a different space from the wolves.

Aside from the initial fear of being overturned by the train, it became difficult to feel scared after realizing that the dire wolves were powerless against the train.

As everyone watched the terrifying wolf pack being gradually shot down outside the window, a strange sense of excitement and security arose within them.

The passenger, who had initially complained and felt he was living like a pig or a dog.

Looking at the teams that were in even worse shape than them, a faint sense of superiority welled up within them.

Some people were already having the leisure to sympathize with the convoy that had just overturned.

Whispers broke out, and the last vestiges of tension vanished. Some even dared to stick out of the blast-proof netting to hit the wolves.

"Boss, should we get off the bus later?" A young man with short hair, round ears, a turtle-like back, and long legs asked as he approached Lu Xiao.

Even when speaking, his upper body leans slightly forward and his shoulders are pulled in, like a beast poised to pounce.

Lu Xiao glanced at him. He was one of the two sports students recruited today. The young man was very clever and somewhat resembled a recruit he had trained before.

"That's the train conductor's spoils; it's not our turn."

"It was pitch black, and the guy surnamed Su didn't know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Xiao placed his hand on his shoulder, applying slight pressure, and said seriously, "Remember to call him the train conductor from now on!"

The young man was somewhat puzzled, but after seeing his captain display his prowess today, killing a dragon with just a few blows, he nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiao looked at the carriage in front of him, which was occasionally illuminated by the muzzle flashes of gunfire, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

A soldier cannot be timid and hesitant, but that doesn't mean he is unaware of the gap between himself and the other person.

Yu Jing, who had to put down her work because of the wolf attack, shared the same thought.

She stared blankly at the man standing by the car window, teaching her mother how to use a gun.

I subconsciously thought of a phrase he always used: "It depends on fate."

She was one of the earlier trainees.

At first, he only thought about using his abilities to protect himself and his mentally challenged mother on the train, and then find a suitable opportunity to escape.

But I never expected to run so far, and most of the time I escaped unscathed.

Of course she knew this wasn't a matter of fate.

Instead, Su Huan made the right decision every time.

From seizing trains, forcing passengers to collect supplies, and systematically upgrading trains, to the frenzied evolution on the viaduct, every step seemed to be planned.

You could call him cold-blooded, perverted, selfish, mean-spirited, and petty.

But these traits combined, like his mocking fake smile, give people a mysterious sense of security.

'Well, it would be even better if you didn't worry about my mom...'
