Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 73: Chapter 72: I Let You Handle the Gun, Not Me

”The sniper rifle’s ammo capacity is relatively small, this one holds only seven rounds. I just fired three shots, so there are four rounds left. As a sniper, no, to be precise, as a user of firearms, you must always keep track of your ammunition count and the enemy’s remaining ammo.”

Su Huan’s deep voice, accompanied by his breath, hit Yu Yue’s earlobe, making her feel like she was listening to a late-night radio show.

Her head felt a little dizzy.

”Your hand.”

”Huh?”

Yu Yue confusedly placed her small hand tentatively on the back of Su Huan’s hand.

She clearly felt the man’s steady breathing behind her stop for a moment.

”I meant to place your hand on the bolt, why are you touching me!”

Feeling the delicate skin of her palm, Su Huan said with mock annoyance.

This woman usually seemed quite perceptive, but why did she become so clueless at critical moments?

Could it be that all her skills are in serving tea and pouring water?

When he said that, Yu Yue’s eyelids fluttered, and she tried to withdraw her hand like she had been electrocuted.

But Su Huan caught her hand, turned it, and placed it on the rifle bolt as if kneading dough, then moved it up and down.

”Click—”

”The final push of the bolt completes the chambering.” Su Huan adjusted her posture, letting the rifle stock rest against her shoulder.

”Will the recoil be strong?” Yu Yue asked weakly.

Su Huan leaned his head on her right shoulder and, hearing this, pressed her collarbone with his chin in a punishing manner, sneering coldly, ”Strong my ass, your evolved strength is about the same as an adult male’s. This recoil is nothing compared to you sneezing.”

”Oh...”

His other hand slipped under her armpit to support the rifle stock.

Since they weren’t wearing much, she could clearly feel the soft tissue on the inside of her arm tighten.

Yu Yue felt like all her strength was drained, hanging in the crook of the man’s arm like she was boneless, her face flushed attractively with the thought that her daughter was watching nearby.

’It’s just teaching how to use a sniper rifle, Xiaojing wouldn’t think too much...’

Deceiving herself, she played ostrich in Su Huan’s embrace.

Fortunately, the lights in the compartment were off, and Liang Kuan and the others weren’t paying attention to them.

Only Xiaoba glanced over a couple of times but didn’t find anything strange about them.

Teaching someone how to shoot should be done in this posture, after all.

Feeling the soft body in his arms heating up, and her attention wandering, Su Huan frowned.

”Clamp down!”

Yu Yue was startled, her tongue tied, ”W-Where?”

Su Huan squinted, and a faint current ran through their bodies, startling her into a shiver, her waist and hips suddenly tensing up.

”Ah—”

Yu Yue’s glistening lips unintentionally let out a soft moan, which she quickly suppressed.

The jolt invigorated her significantly.

Her thighs felt stronger, and her body wasn’t as soft.

”Hand-in-hand teaching and you still dare to slack off!”

In his previous life, it would take him days of begging just to get a chance to touch a teammate’s gun for a thrill and he’d have to bring his own bullets, but now he didn’t treasure this opportunity, Su Huan thought, grinding his teeth.

”I didn’t.”

Yu Yue sounded a bit wronged.

Su Huan coldly snorted internally, exerting force on his upper body, pressing her to lean slightly forward. One foot pushed between her ankles, hooking her right foot to step back half a step, ”Clamp your arms, slightly bend over to keep your balance.”

Targeting a slightly rearward alpha wolf.

Pulled the trigger.

The bullet flew out silently again, but the alpha wolf had overreacted, twisting its body just before the shot.

The bullet grazed its head, tearing off one of its ears.

The alpha wolf’s green eyes glared venomously in Su Huan’s direction, but instead of howling in pain, it looked at its subordinates.

Realizing that there’s no way to breach the armored train, it let out a low howl with human-like reluctance, and the devastatingly defeated wolf pack began to retreat, leaving over a dozen corpses behind.

Su Huan frowned and activated multiple skills, spreading an electric grid instantly beneath their feet.

In an instant, everyone in the car felt a jolt of electricity.

Ten meters outside the train, three terror wolves, without touching any conductive material, were enveloped in arcs of electricity.

He pressed Yu Yue’s hand to fire three more shots, killing two terror wolves.

One Tier One wolf broke free from paralysis and started running away.

”Why did you zap me again...”

The woman in his arms muttered.

Noticing the surrounding Liang Kuan and others were looking over, Su Huan released Yu Yue, casually explaining that he didn’t control it well.

Static Swamp is not a Pan-energy Transformation type skill engraved into genes.

It’s more like an Arc Javelin generated by high-energy compression, a derivative technique of his abilities.

A large-scale early warning skill, it forms a miniature static field within a ten-meter radius of the user. Anything that moves and touches this field will trigger crackling static, thus achieving an early warning effect.

However, this skill doesn’t come from the Energy Storage Core but is a Tier One Electromagnetic Mage skill.

Although the Electromagnetic Mage only has a maximum of two tiers, it was independently developed by the Steel Conference, equipped with numerous combat techniques besides the evolution combinations.

The Perpetual Cardinal was developed too hastily, without verification or corresponding skills.

Just now, Su Huan forcibly used Static Swamp by utilizing High-Energy Compression and Energy Shaping skills, combined with experience from his past life.

The drawback is apparent; it’s easy to zap teammates and it consumes a lot of energy, maintaining it for a minute is no less demanding than throwing out an electric spear.

The advantage is that it’s possible to control the current intensity in a certain direction at any time.

The passengers in the back of the car cheered as they saw the wolf pack driven away.

Su Huan focused, watching as under the spotlight, the wolf pack dragged prey off the highway, starting to withdraw.

Soon, they disappeared out of the spotlight range, beyond his line of sight.

”They’re not gone, just wandering within a kilometer,”

said Yu Yue, holding the rifle, frowning.

Su Huan patted her shoulder, ”This terrain is open; there’s nothing to block bullets. The wolf pack is yours.”

Yu Yue was bewildered.

”Have Wang He bring out thirty people to clean the battlefield,” Su Huan said.

Lao San rushed to open the door, and the three brothers jumped down ahead of Su Huan.

Seeing Su Huan in action, the others naturally followed suit.

Xiaoba’s wheelchair quietly rolled past Yu Yue, as the boy raised his fist and cheered, ”Aunt Yu, go for it!”

Watching the crowd disembark, Yu Yue was at a loss for words, when suddenly her ears perked up.

She spun around, raising the sniper rifle in her hand, focusing her entire attention on the outside.

Yet there was nothing but darkness where the sound came from, so she simply closed her eyes, trusting her hearing completely.

Recalling Su Huan’s taught steps, she pulled the bolt.

’Click’

The sound of reloading fell only into one person’s ears.

The shell ejected, and the last bullet pressed into the chamber.

At the moment she identified the source of the sound, her finger didn’t hesitate at all and pressed down decisively.
