Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 55 What's the purpose of this journey? To fight for the dragon!
After everyone left, Su Huan turned his gaze to Yu Yue.

The other person's ear twitched slightly, and they looked up and said, "Someone is looking for you."

"what?"

Su Huan was taken aback for a moment, then realized that they were referring to the carriages behind.

'This doorbell is really far away...'

He stepped back and saw a slender, upright man at the bridge connection of carriage number ten. The man was about the same height as him, both around 1.8 meters tall. Through the glass, Su Huan felt as if he were looking in a mirror.

Both men had sharp, angular features, but the other had a more refined and capable demeanor, while he was more aloof.

And he's younger.

"You only have three sentences."

Su Huan spoke calmly through the door.

"I am a retired naval officer, a strength-type evolved human, and a native of Mojiang who is familiar with the terrain."

Men don't waste words; they simply state their value.

He then placed his hand on the door handle and twisted it forcefully, causing the metal door handle to deform.

To prove that what they said was true.

"Click——"

Su Huan opened the door, glanced at the deformed doorknob and the man's pert buttocks, and his expression softened.

He's valuable, and currently seems to be quite intelligent; I'm willing to spend some time on someone like that.

"Just tell me what's on your mind, I'm very busy."

"We'll be crossing the Mojiang Bridge next, right?"

"Correct."

The man told him his guesses from inside the train carriage.

Su Huan nodded in agreement, already thinking about how to make use of this talent.

But he didn't show much emotion on his face. "And then?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then said carefully, "I don't mean to steal your train, but the journey ahead is too dangerous. I want to help you make some tactical decisions. Don't worry, I've received rigorous professional training in this area, so I'm absolutely reliable."

Su Huan's expression was strange. The last one planned to seize it by force, but this one was taking a roundabout approach?
You've received rigorous professional training, while I've endured four years of brutal elimination.

"You're not also named Zhe, are you?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Lu Xiao, Lu as in mainland China, and Xiao as in cavalry."

Su Huan nodded. "I'll remember you, but now is not the time for you to shine."

Lu Xiao frowned. He didn't understand why Su Huan was still so stubborn even though he had been so sincere.

Is the power of a mere train conductor really more important than life itself?
Su Huan could see his dissatisfaction and explained sincerely, "This kind of big situation is best handled by the train conductor; you can't handle it."

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing his impatience. "I hope the train conductor will consider my suggestion. I will wait here in carriage number ten."

Su Huan waved his hand, "Then you wait here, and remember to put the doorknob back on for me."

Turn around and leave.

……

If we consider all the rivers in the world as dragon veins, then these cross-river bridges are like shackles, stretching across the water.

With a clanging sound, a mechanical steel dragon drove onto the overpass.

The hot wind it generated dispersed the cotton-like mist on the water's surface, and under the clear moonlight, the terrifying appearance of the entire river was revealed to everyone on the train.

Tens of thousands of floating corpses churned on the turbid surface of the Mojiang River, rising and falling with the current, their scarlet eyes all fixed on the train on the viaduct.

Inside the sightseeing car, Yu Yue nervously clenched her fingertips. "Something's coming..."

"Well, I see it."

Su Huan stared at the murky water. Thirty or forty meters away, a huge, turbid wave surged up, crashing onto the Mojiang Bridge and causing the armored train to tremble.

As the waves crashed down, hundreds of zombies were also submerged in the water.

But what truly terrified him was the enormous white tail within the giant wave.

It was as thick as a water vat.

It was Bai She Mojiang, whom I had met briefly at the water plant!
Seeing its terrifying power, Su Huan fell silent for a moment. This snake had probably reached the second tier.

Currently, his universal energy conversion is still at level 2, having already absorbed four first-order universal energy crystals. His energy compression is still at level 1, having only absorbed about five ordinary universal energy crystals.

It's still a long way from the first-tier profession "Energy Storage Core".

"Commander, the oil drums have been brought over." The three brothers struggled to carry the oil drums to the second floor.

"Move it to the front of the train." Su Huan pointed outside the sightseeing carriage, then looked at Yu Yue beside him, "Go downstairs and get me the heart of that bloodhound."

Yu Yue nodded subconsciously, took a couple of steps, and then realized something was wrong.

The heart of a bloodhound.

Isn't that the evolutionary path of bloody resonance?
A thought flashed through her mind like lightning, instantly illuminating her chaotic thoughts. She whirled around, "You want to evolve?"

Su Huan raised an eyebrow and said flippantly, "Oh, Aunt Yu, why are you suddenly so clever?"

"Didn't you say that method was dangerous?"

"Evolution is inherently a crazy thing."

"There's nothing safer..."

Su Huan waved his hand impatiently, "It's just a backup plan in case of emergency, hurry up and go."

Yu Yue's fingers clenched so tightly they turned white. Looking at his impatient expression, a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

But unconsciously, my mind extends outward, deducing and extrapolating.

What if we really reach the point where we have no choice but to evolve?

If Su Huan were to change...

No, I'm also a passenger being oppressed by him, so why should I worry about him?

Yu Yue tapped her forehead.

I feel like I have Stockholm syndrome.

But then I thought about it.

Su Huan was usually a bit fierce and bad, but apart from that one time, he never did anything excessive to himself or his daughter.

Other passengers may call him a cold-blooded and cruel bastard, but he himself probably has no right to do so.

To some extent, it could even be considered collusion.

The young cook bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with confusion. She vaguely obtained the bloodhound's heart from Wan Xing and went up to the second floor.

But the scene before her made her heart tremble.

Under the cold moonlight, thousands of silver scales floated to the surface of the water, tearing at the zombies, turning the already murky river water into clumps of dark filth.

When the tens of thousands of corpses vanished, a thousand water beasts, led by a white snake resembling a dragon, charged towards the bridge spanning the river.

Like the legendary serpent that has achieved enlightenment, it traverses the waters, heads east into the sea, and transforms into a dragon!

The turbid waves of the river surged and crashed against the bridge pillars, carrying severed limbs and broken bodies.

"boom--"

Yu Yue was so frightened that she closed her eyes, felt dizzy, and then fell into the water.

But after a while, I didn't feel any suffocation. When I opened my eyes, I saw Su Huan's unfriendly face.

"I thought you were scared to death."

He straightened her up, took the heart from her hand, opened the door, and walked towards the front of the car.

"Don't come along. The waves are big tonight, and you might get swept away."

After the third brother and his men finished moving the oil drums, they quickly retreated, each of them covered in sweat but with a deathly pale face.

Clearly, they also saw what was happening below the bridge.

The third brother grabbed Su Huan as he passed by, "Fourth brother, where are you going?"

Su Huan tilted his head to the side, looking at the giant white python winding its way up the bridge pillar in the distance. He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"Fight for the Dragon!"
