Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 59 They should be the ones feeling nervous.
When Su Huan speculated about the truth of the apocalypse with the utmost malice.

Many things can now be explained.

Why are forces like Deep Blue Data and the Cult of Machines able to cultivate fifth-tier evolvers in just four years?

Various gene-based drugs, new apocalyptic materials, and emerging technologies are springing up like mushrooms after rain.

It's because they've been secretly accumulating this knowledge for over a decade or even several decades.

And then we just wait for this moment of doomsday!
The military vanished into thin air, massive communication disruptions, disorganized groups, a mysterious force that had been preparing for this, and twelve sudden apocalyptic calamities... all these factors combined to create the apocalyptic scene of society collapsing in an instant.

Otherwise, with those early-stage zombies that were practically swaying as they walked...

"Ah!"

Su Huan let out a cold laugh.

Because I was at the bottom of society in my past life and lacked information, I accumulated many questions, but I never expected that everything would suddenly become clear today.

But many questions remain.

For example, the origins of natural disasters are clearly defined, such as inexplicable high temperatures, acid rain, and floods...

For example, there are zombies that can evolve, plants and animals, and humans.

To understand the truth behind this, we must start with forces like the Steel Council.

"Qinggang Industry... Steel Council, the next steps of the plan need to be changed."

As Su Huan muttered to himself, he pulled out a large sheet of white paper from the side and spread it on the table.

……

The group of men had been arguing for over an hour about whether the helicopter was a military rescue operation and whether the organization had restored order.

The main issue was a dispute between Wang He, a member of the construction team, and his colleagues.

The woman pinched her earring, which was now only on one side, and a sharp pain shot through her earlobe.

The pain stimulated her senses, clearing her mind from the heat and allowing her to slowly and carefully observe these men who, despite their precarious existence, still dared to talk so eloquently.

Although both are passengers on the train, women have a much lower status than men.

Currently, only one-third of the people on the vehicle are women, and only a very small number of them are collecting supplies on their own. The rest are like her, clinging to big trees like dodder vines.

No one on this bus probably hated Su Huan more than she did.

A perfectly good family was tricked into getting on the bus, but after one trip, only two of them were left, and the man was killed by Su Huan.

Dog Brother, who had humiliated her, was also killed by Su Huan.

This led her to feel an absurd sense of choosing a man when she was selecting a man, like choosing a tree waiting to be felled. When the scar was on her body, she wondered when Su Huan would kill him.

Scarface hit her, cursed at her, and called her despicable, but she never got angry.

They might even act more weak and obsequious.

It's like compensating for the other person's impending death.

Sure enough, Scarface was killed by Su Huan the next day.

Along with the old man she knew, and the two underlings who had secretly bullied her on the bridge, none of them returned.

Within a few days, she became a regular passenger on the train.

A lean, wiry man squeezed through the front carriage and started chatting with the passengers who were squatting in the corner.

He only chose older passengers who looked disheveled.

This is a very high-quality man by post-apocalyptic standards; his cold and decisive personality is evident from his clothing and appearance.

Besides, she had heard his analysis.

He is very ambitious.

Just like the profound philosophy that the old man and Scarface always talked about.

Unfortunately, she never saw the man because of the zombie carriage that had blocked her way.

The woman listened quietly to his question, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and called out to him as he passed by.

"If you want the train conductor's information and what happened on the train, I can tell you." Lu Xiao looked down at the woman. There were bruises on the corners of her mouth, and her neck and exposed skin had varying degrees of blue and purple marks. Large patches of white skin were hidden under an ill-fitting hoodie, clearly indicating that she had been humiliated, but her mental state was strangely healthy.

"what do you want?"

Lu Xiao asked, his mind focused.

The woman tilted her head back, her oversized hoodie slipping down, the restrained rise and fall concealing a flowing vitality. The hot air blew through the carriage, and her eyes shone brightly.

“()”

……

"December 23rd——"

Su Huan retrieved the thermometer that was hanging outside the car window, looked at the bright red markings, and added the numbers to his diary.

34°C-38°C

"The temperature is dropping, I've escaped the high-temperature zone, now it's their turn to be in trouble."

Su Huan's handwriting was relaxed and freehand, especially the last few characters, which were particularly flamboyant and carried the arrogance unique to villains.

He stayed in the room for a full day and night, without even trying out the new ability.

The blank sheet of paper on the table has been covered with dense writing.

In his previous life, he had only truly dealt with two powerful individuals. The steel that formed the barrier was already on the vehicle, and the other was the retreating fire.

Lin Jin, the fastest-promoted fifth-tier professional, is known as the "Lord of the Sunfire".

"My path was destined long ago, Su Huan. When we meet again, I will pave the way for you at the end of purgatory."

These were the last words he said to Su Huan in his previous life.

When they met again, Su Huan was already being hunted by the Steel Council, while Lin Jin killed the third-tier powerhouse who had come after him and set off a fire in the Steel Council.

He didn't know exactly what happened at the time, but he never saw the Steel Council's pursuers until he was submerged by the flood.

The two first met during the "New City Plan" initiated by Qinggang Industry.

Using the guise of an emerging force, Qinggang Industry rallied survivors, cleared out all the zombies in a county, and built a long-term fortress.

This fortress, built after the apocalypse, is called "New City".

Originally, a number of directors, after a series of open and covert struggles, formed a council of seven, which controlled all affairs, big and small, in the city, as well as the power of life and death.

And Qinggang Industry also became what Su Huan knew as the Steel Council.

The two words in the very center of the blank sheet of paper are "Lin Jin" and "Xin Cheng".

Regardless, he absolutely had to intercept Lin Jin, this trump card.

A well-behaved Tier 5 Evolver, provided the logistics are adequate, can easily decide the outcome of a war single-handedly.

Fifth-tier evolved beings are the most obvious indicator of the strength of a force.

With Lin Jin, Xiao Ba, and their future selves, the Armed Train is definitely the most promising major force in the apocalypse.

At that time, even the Pope of the Cult of Machines will have to calmly call him the train conductor.

No one dares to manipulate him anymore!

I ran my palm across the paper, calming my turbulent emotions.

The train's general direction of heading north remains unchanged; the next goal is to obtain more information about the apocalypse from the Steel Council.

And to find the "Corona Flame Lord" who has not yet grown up.

If I remember correctly, the Steel Council began clearing the ruins on January 10th.

The two met on January 16th.

The new city is located in Qingchuan Province, outside the high-temperature zone.
