Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 68 The Train Conductor's Burden
Carriage number 3 was completely turned into a slaughterhouse.

Large sheets of white snake skin were hung on the wall, covered with a layer of pale white flesh, which looked crystal clear and tender, as if it had just been peeled off, without any dryness.

The new doctor was assisting Wan Xing; his face was pale, and his technique was clumsy.

There wasn't much snake meat; it must have been consumed in the last two days. After all, there were over a thousand people on the train, and since they were eating the train conductor's food, no one was going to be polite.

After passing through carriage number 3 and the dining car, we arrived at the door of Su Huan's room.

At this moment, Yu Jing was directing three people to move things inside.

They are all electronic products, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other miscellaneous items.

"What are you doing? Why are you moving all this junk into my room?"

Su Huan asked, puzzled.

Yu Jing raised her head and said calmly, "When they were rummaging through the clutter just now, I found a lot of power banks and various batteries in the car. If you have nothing better to do, you can fully charge all of these batteries."

"You even assigned me a job?"

Su Huan crossed his arms, glanced at the batteries of various sizes, and said with dissatisfaction.

Looking at the train conductor's expression, which seemed to say, "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm going to make things difficult for you," I realized...

Yu Jing said with some helplessness, softening her tone, "When we start work, many places need electricity, and you can't run around everywhere. It's very inconvenient to have electricity in other carriages, which will delay the progress. So I can only trouble the train conductor to do something."

Here's what happened, and here's the situation.

But Su Huan was very unhappy.

As a train conductor, what do you mean by having nothing better to do?

The lives, livelihoods, and basic needs of the more than 1,000 people on this train rest on my shoulders. You're just treating me like a power bank?

"What you say makes a lot of sense," Su Huan said with a wicked smirk, "but I won't do it!"

……

“Ding ding… ding ding…”

Su Huan looked up at the small digital watch that was beeping.

It was exactly 7 p.m.

He put the fully charged power bank aside and continued to reach into the box in the dark. This time, he didn't find anything large, but instead pulled out a handful of loose AA batteries.

"Ok?"

"Damn it, even AA batteries need charging! It's unbearable!"

He tossed the battery in his hand into the box on the other side, and of course, the furious train conductor didn't forget to fully charge the battery before throwing it away.

The reason he's been working for so long isn't because he doesn't have enough energy, but because these batteries allow for too low an input voltage. He has to control the voltage to prevent the input energy from being too high and burning out the batteries.

His main skill, "Universal Energy Conversion," has now been upgraded to level 3, with a conversion efficiency of 30%. The total amount of energy stored in all these batteries combined is less than the amount stored in his system.

However, the energy recovery is also slower. Before, when I was at level one, I could recover my energy by sitting and resting for a while. Now, if I release all the energy in my body at once, it will take at least three days to recover.

To speed up this process, the only option is to devour the universal energy crystals.

He now has a Tier 2 item.

It cannot be moved for the time being.

This is a strategic resource. Second-tier evolved beasts and zombies are not so easy to kill. As long as they don't run into the moving train, Su Huan has no way to deal with them.

While thinking about how to use a reasonable excuse to torment Yu Jing, he fully charged the remaining batteries and put them away.

Su Huan washed the dust off his hands and got out of the carriage.

The food cart was brightly lit, and Yu Yue was busy behind the cabinet. There was an iron pot on the induction cooker, from which a faint spicy aroma wafted.

Yu Yue wiped her hands, looked up at Su Huan, and said obediently, "I was just about to call you when Lu Xiao and the others came back." "Oh?"

Su Huan raised an eyebrow.

He walked straight to the back of the carriage.

In carriage number 10, we saw Xiao Ba busily working. Under Yu Jing's direction, he was shaping a large metal door to separate the front and back of carriage number 10.

"They just got back, and several of them are seriously injured."

Yu Jing said.

Su Huan walked past her without even glancing at her, only saying hello to Xiao Ba.

Qi Xiaoba glanced at the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, and quietly asked, "Sister Yu Jing, did you make Su angry?"

Yu Jing touched her nose and sighed, "I guess so."

While busy flattening and shaping the metal in his hands, Xiao Ba said earnestly, "Then find some time to apologize to Su properly. He's just cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he'll definitely forgive you."

'Cold on the outside, warm on the inside?'

Yu Jing's lips twitched. Did Xiao Ba have some misunderstanding about our train conductor?

If apologies were effective, she would have already slid down to her knees.

Even if she were to offer herself to Su Huan's bed tonight, he would still humiliate her severely and then kick her off.

For this man, the pleasure derived from an apology was far less than that from revenge...

Wait a minute, should I take it to the bed?
Yu Jing's phoenix eyes showed a hint of contemplation. If she took the initiative to go over and let him humiliate her, would she no longer have to wait anxiously for revenge?

……

Inside carriage number 15, the lights were bright, and the newly minted miracle doctor Lin Xia was frantically trying to treat patients.

He knelt there, the hemostats slipping between his fingers, sweat clinging to the inside of his rubber gloves, the gauze roll soaked in blood as soon as it was unrolled, the dark red spreading across the floor.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead; he didn't know if it was from fear or the heat.

He knew the day he would be exposed would come soon, but he didn't expect it to be this soon.

I just started my shift at noon, am I going to be dragged out and executed tonight?
Lin Xia's mind was racing, and she used the knowledge she had vaguely gleaned while sleeping in class to help stop the bleeding and bandage the man in front of her.

To his left lay a man with a broken arm, his right arm hanging there in a reverse joint position.

"Doctor, save me, I'm dying..."

There were still people pleading in front of them.

The cries of a dozen wounded soldiers rose and fell, but they only made his confused mind clearer.

Depending on the severity of the injury, bandage it quickly.

Lu Xiao stood to the side with a sullen face, glancing from time to time at the men in front of him who were holding guns and watching him warily. They were two of the three brothers, and because they looked somewhat alike, he couldn't tell them apart.

His thick-soled military boots tapped the ground repeatedly, revealing his agitated mood.

"Has the train conductor arrived yet? I've already brought the things back to him."

The leader glared at him, "What are you rushing me for! The train conductor is extremely busy; he can't just come whenever he wants!"

The second brother didn't say anything, but silently raised the muzzle of the submachine gun in his hand by two inches.

Lu Xiao grunted in anger.

The entire train is a straight line. How could it possibly take him half an hour to walk from the front of the train to carriage number 15?
But he rationally kept his mouth shut. The one who left earlier could at least say a few words, but these two were just idiots with their brains completely scrambled.

"It seems you've brought back what I wanted." A calm voice came from the corridor.
