Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 73 Trophies

A howl suddenly rang out in the distance.

Su Huan subconsciously turned to look at Yu Yue, only to see the woman holding a sniper rifle, her eyelids lowered, her eyes narrowed, and even the emotions in her eyes were exactly the same as Yu Jing's.

The mother and daughter, who already looked seven-tenths alike, were now so similar that he couldn't even tell them apart.

Feeling Su Huan's gaze, Yu Yue lowered her gun, her slightly upturned eyes lowered again, and she returned to her obedient appearance.

He pointed to a wolf carcass lying on the ground to his left, and said in a voice that reached his ears, "That one isn't dead."

Su Huan nodded slightly and said calmly, "Not bad."

She turned and gave Liang Kuan a look.

The latter understood immediately and walked to the left front, carrying the metal shield.

The ordinary dire wolf, which had been lying in a pool of blood pretending to be dead, suddenly pounced.

"Roar--"

But even faster was the shield in Liang Kuan's hand. The 1.9-meter-tall, imposing man snorted angrily, flipped his wrist, and swung the 1.3-meter-tall sword-shaped shield down through the air.

"boom!"

The heavy, muffled thud was accompanied by a bone-chilling sound of tendons snapping and breaking.

The dire wolf silently lay back down, and blood spurted out in all directions, leaving a red mark on Liang Kuan's tactical boots.

Extreme violence, extreme visual experience.

This is how the defenders fight.

The three brothers stared in astonishment at the 10mm thick metal shield in Liang Kuan's hand, swallowed hard, and silently fired their finishing shots.

There were more than twenty dire wolves in total. Twelve were killed first, and Su Huan left two behind before leaving.

Most of them were killed by bullets, and two others were killed by Xiao Ba's metal spikes.

There are a total of fourteen dire wolves, three of which are Tier 1, and each one can yield at least several hundred kilograms of meat.

Several members of the flight crew also got off the plane, and Wan Xing directed them to clean up the mess.

Su Huan then led Liang Kuan and the workers onto the distant national highway.

The sense of danger emanating from the darkness made everyone's hair stand on end.

Su Huan glanced at the overturned vehicle in front of him and waved his hand. "First, turn the vehicle right up and see if anything is intact. Then, start collecting supplies."

"okay."

Wang He quickly led his workers to push the cart forward.

Su Huan turned to Xiao Ba and said, "We happen to be short of metal in the car. You can melt down these abandoned vehicles; you should be able to get quite a bit."

Xiao Ba nodded and began operating his abilities to extract metal from the severely damaged vehicles.

It is much more efficient than workers working together.

"There are two survivors here—"

Soon, three people were brought before Su Huan: two men and one woman. They all looked quite young, with the oldest man not exceeding thirty years old.

The three people were trapped underneath the overturned vehicle and were not immediately pulled out by the wolves, thus narrowly escaping death.

They all looked flushed, with cyanosis in their hands and feet, and the most severely affected one even had sunken eyeballs.

It's obviously a bit dehydrated.

Su Huan kicked the older man and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you come from?"

The man's chapped lips parted slightly. "...Mojiang City, could you give me some water?"

Su Huan automatically ignored the second half of the sentence.

"From the Mojiang Mutual Aid Vehicle Team?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.

"Yes, you're one of the people who escaped from the convoy too?"

"Escaped? What happened?" "You don't know?"

Seeing Su Huan's expression turn somewhat hostile, the man decisively replied, "It's a zombie horde! Some time ago, for some unknown reason, a terrifying zombie horde suddenly broke out in the city center and began to move outwards, forcing the convoy to speed up and escape."

The third brother and his companions seemed to have thought of something, their expressions turning strange.

"As a result, we encountered a terrifying zombie on the road. It was not only incredibly fast, but also had a variety of attack methods. It had a bone knife in one hand and a bone whip in the other. Its entire body was covered in bone armor that made it impervious to blades and spears. Even a truck couldn't kill it. We had no choice but to split up and run away."

The man's face still bore a lingering trace of fear.

Liang Kuan and the others seemed to be deep in thought.

Without a doubt, the horde of zombies was triggered by the armed train.

As for the monster the man mentioned, it must have been a second-tier [Slayer] mutated from an evolved being like Gao Zhe.

The corpse pupa is the first stage of a zombie, while the corpse armor is a clear indication of a zombie evolving into the second stage.

After learning this information and finding out they didn't have any special skills, Su Huan lost interest in the group. He gave each of them a bottle of refilled purified water and tossed it into the trunk.

The workers began moving supplies from the convoy, glancing at each item before him.

This group wasn't unprepared. Apart from having no clean water, they had plenty of food and medicine, as well as some small electronic devices like electric fans.

There must have been professional outdoor enthusiasts among the dead.

Various tactical equipment and military-grade compressed biscuits were piled up in several boxes.

Su Huan kicked open a dark green plastic box, looked down, and saw rows of round cans stacked inside.

Still made of venison, each can weighs 400g and is quite heavy, a total of twelve cans.

In addition, there are plenty of canned vegetables, such as common tomatoes and chickpeas, and less common mushrooms, corn and lettuce.

The most outrageous thing was that they also brought four live chickens, one male and three females.

The rooster, which had become somewhat sickly due to lack of water, forced itself to perk up upon seeing Su Huan, spreading its wings to protect the little hen behind it.

Su Huan flicked its bright red comb and grinned, "You've even started a harem."

After checking a few chickens and finding no signs of mutation, they called Huang Hai over.

"These chickens are yours. Don't let them die. I'll be counting on them to make sure I can have eggs for breakfast from now on."

Huang Hai adjusted his glasses and quickly said, "No problem. I'll set up a small farm in the train carriage farm, and I guarantee that you, the train captain, will be able to eat poached chicken in three months."

Su Huan shook his head and held up one finger.

"A month?" Huang Hai was taken aback, then looked troubled. "But even young chickens take about two months."

"No, I mean there's always food to eat."

Su Huan said calmly.

"what?"

Having no intention of explaining to him, Su Huan waved his hand and watched as he and Xiao Wang got into the car with a few chickens looking worried.

Although the chickens have not mutated yet, under the stimulation of the universal energy, various organisms will grow at a faster rate, greatly compressing their juvenile period, and facing future disasters with a stronger posture.

Most of the cars were severely damaged. Only one car that crashed into the side of the train was relatively intact. Along with two other cars that could be repaired, they were all driven into the rear carriages.

Workers loaded various daily necessities into the carriages box by box, while translators, cooks, and other crew members organized them on board.

Although no one told them, some rules quietly took shape.

For example, people in the back of the carriage are not allowed to enter the front carriage.

In this situation, the crew automatically took over the task of organizing supplies in the front carriage.

It's just getting started, and everyone is very enthusiastic.

The train doors behind them opened, and Lu Xiao and some other passengers walked over.

Their timing was perfect; the spoils were mostly gone, leaving only the hard work.

"Do you need our help?"
