Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 83 Departure, Armory!

A blinding white flash of electricity suddenly illuminated the SUV.

The modified off-road vehicle was like a runaway wild horse that crashed headlong into a train traveling at 80 km/h.

The train swayed slightly, and the off-road vehicle was thrown off course.

The butcher, who was chasing after him with great effort, saw the small iron box that had fallen in front of him and his black and red eyes lit up.

And this good thing? !

Suddenly, I lost interest in the departing train.

With thick, fleshy feet slapping through the rain, he walked over, carrying half a metal door upside down.

Open the box!
……

Su Huan, inside the car, felt a pang of regret.

If it weren't for the rushed timing, he could have compressed half of his energy, no, even a third of it, into a fire spear and blasted Captain He into a roasted chicken in mid-air!
But none of that matters, as long as we can get our hands on this batch of weapons before they do.

The word "armed" in "armed train" truly lives up to its name.

It's not hard to guess from He Jie's appearance that some of the Steel Council's plans have changed, and it remains to be seen whether the new city plan can proceed as smoothly as it did in the previous life.

However, Lin Jin is definitely in the Steel Council; he can't escape.

The train roared forward, and the high-rise buildings on both sides basically disappeared, replaced by large industrial parks and some government offices. Many of these things were not marked on civilian maps at all.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and the acid rain not only didn't stop, but it got heavier and heavier, turning from fine drizzle into large raindrops.

The windows on the armored train were incomplete to begin with, and many were made up of steel plates.

Now the entire carriage smells of corroded metal.

Hurried footsteps sounded as Yu Jing strode in. "The water tanks in the first ten carriages are full. Should we continue filling the rest? The acid rain concentration is a bit too high; we might need to replace the filters."

Su Huan frowned, "Such a big water purifier, it's broken down so quickly?"

"The pH adjustment device that was added later needs to be replaced."

Su Huan said calmly, "Then let's change it. Don't worry about wasting it. The clean water outside is all polluted. What we're holding in the tank now isn't water, it's our lives!"

"To save my life, they will definitely offer me a price that satisfies me."

"Okay, I understand. I will open the water tanks in eight carriages, including those for the crew, construction team, and combat squad."

Yu Jing answered readily, but her gaze fell on the scars on Su Huan's hands. Her questioning look swept over her mother, but she said nothing.

Su Huan waved his hand and said, "Open it, but install a separate water meter for them and record their water usage."

Yu Jing turned and walked out.

Su Huan went to check on the driver's cab first. Xiao Ba and the other two were fine. After all, the front of the vehicle had the thickest armor, and even a heavy sniper rifle might not be able to penetrate 30mm of armor within 100 meters.

Not to mention, it's only a kilometer away.

Then the third brother said that Lu Xiao wanted to see him, and hurriedly rushed to the back of the car.

It garnered a wave of amazement.

Lu Xiao's eyelids twitched as he looked at Su Huan's mangled hand and the deformed bullet.

"So you didn't hit it, right?"

"Caught it empty-handed."

"If you catch it empty-handed, I'll shove my head under the wheel."

"Then let's get ready to get off the bus."

"?"

The train slowly came to a stop, and outside was a factory surrounded by an unremarkable brick wall.

Lu Xiao was taken aback. "You're not thinking of using those few guns to fight the army behind you head-on, are you?"

Su Huan tossed him the bullet in his hand and said calmly, "Isn't this what you're still here for?"

Lu Xiao weighed the bullet in his hand; it was heavy, but it was definitely not something he could have caught by hand, even if he was exhausted.

It can only be said that Su Huan's methods are far more mysterious than he imagined.

As for what Su Huan said, Lu Xiao didn't believe a single word. The train conductor's words were as unpredictable as his train.

While they were talking, Lao San and his group, along with the crew, brought a pile of boxes from the miscellaneous items in carriage number 8.

"Are we about to go on a mission?"

Jiang Rong walked over silently. Su Huan pointed to the box behind him, "Mandatory mission. There are two hundred raincoats in here. Take them yourself. Each team can take one fire truck."

Lu Xiao frowned. "Our team has 13 people, and one fire truck can't fit them all."

"There's another fire truck. You can drive it as you like, but it'll be on your tab."

"Everyone, depart in five minutes."

……

"Wow--"

The searchlight pierced the rain, the carriage door opened, and an SUV rushed out, splashing up a ring of rainwater.

Three fire trucks and an SUV followed closely behind.

The convoy moved into the distance through the murky rain.

The armory was not built next to the railway tracks, but in a military building ten kilometers away.

It wasn't on the map, but the surrounding buildings hadn't changed much in the four years since, and I could barely make out the roads from memory.

The armory has a very high level of security, with two layers: the first is electronic security, and the second is physical security through blast doors.

The former is easy to solve; he can simply paralyze it by applying pressure.

The problem is with the explosion-proof door itself; there's no key.

I don't know if the tools on the fire truck are capable of violently cutting through it.

In the SUV, Su Huan bit his knuckles; the faint tingling in his palms kept disrupting his train of thought.

His subtle movements were noticed by Yu Yue, who was sitting in the back seat. Her fingers twisted together in a knot, and her brows furrowed.

Wounds exposed to acid rain can become infected and inflamed, and in severe cases, amputation may be necessary.

Should I remind him?

Two little Yu Yues were arguing in each other's minds.

'He humiliated you like that, and you still think about him? How despicable!'

'But he clearly saved me today...'

'I can clearly see you enjoy singing on his lap, shameless!'

'I didn't.'

'They were just protecting their plaything along the way!'

'I...I'm not...'

-

"Why don't you bandage it first? The wound will get infected if it gets irritated by acid rain."

Yu Yue, sitting in the back seat, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.

Her voice was very flat, with little emotional fluctuation.

'This stems from his own medical ethics, not from genuine concern for him. Yes, that's exactly it!'

The woman emphasized this to herself.

Su Huan glanced at his palm; it was just a piece of flesh missing. In his previous life, this wouldn't even be considered an injury. With his constitution, it would have healed in two or three days. However, he appreciated the feeling of being cared for by a woman.

"Don't worry about such a small thing, be careful to mute it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from in front of the car.

It whirled rapidly along with the rain curtain, striking the zombies blocking its path.

The powerful voltage instantly burned his numb brain, and then he was crushed under the SUV.

Under the cover of Yu Yue's abilities and acid rain, no sound was made.

Because there were few vehicles in the suburbs, the convoy encountered almost no obstacles and arrived at a large courtyard.

The three-meter-high red brick wall was stained a dirty liver brown by acid rain.

The SUV showed no sign of stopping and crashed directly into the metal gate.

Lu Xiao, who was driving a fire truck, realized what was going on when he saw the compound, but more questions arose in his mind.

How could he be sure that this military unit had what it needed?
