Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Whether it’s the ordinary zombies acting as the foundation at the bottom of the wall, or Tier One Zombies like the Night Demon and Jumpers, as soon as they dare to climb the city wall, they immediately have their limbs scorched off.

This is Lin Jin’s flame.

Nothing particularly special, just burns fiercely.

But the high-intensity use of this ability results in significant consumption for Xiaoba and Lin Jin, especially Lin Jin, whose complexion is now even paler than Xiaoba’s by a shade or two.

The Evolution Beasts around them watched the zombies charging into the flames with fierce eyes, while further away, the terrifying tide of corpses surged and spread.

”Everyone has crossed, evacuate quickly.”

Liang Kuan said in a muffled voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief and gradually cut off the energy supply. The flames on the wall were extinguished as quickly as they had burned viciously before.

Only the reddened metal wall and the smell of scorched protein were left behind.

A sudden dizziness swept through him, as it was his first time expanding the ”High-temperature Barrier” to such a scale.

”Alright.”

Just as the three were preparing to evacuate, the sound of vehicles was heard again from behind the wall.

Xiaoba and the others turned back in confusion.

They saw scattered survivors driving various vehicles fleeing in a panic from the streets in all directions, with hordes of frenzied biting Evolution Beasts and zombies clinging to each vehicle.

The entire Steel Council, not including the fifty or sixty thousand survivors on the outskirts, housed nearly twenty thousand core personnel in the heavy industrial zone.

But the corpse tide came so fiercely that it almost instantly breached the defenses, swallowing tens of thousands.

Except for those at the top who had received the news early, almost no one escaped.

Before them were perhaps the last remaining survivors, only about a hundred in sight.

”Damn it! When did a wall appear in front of us!”

”Drive quickly, we’re about to be caught up!”

”Boom——”

The first car crashed into the wall, creating a meter-deep dent as it forcibly pushed through, with the front end of the car protruding from the other side of the wall.

The Evolution Beasts, already poised, moved forward to drag out the survivors from inside the car.

Sharp screams and wails echoed.

The other vehicles were forced to a stop on the road, faced with a metal wall in front and the violent tide of corpses behind.

No way out.

More and more zombies began surrounding these vehicles, windows shattering, sporadic gunshots ringing out, and a more terrifying aura emerged from the far end of the street in the dark.

Yu Yue’s ”Shared Acoustic Field” was still maintained by their ears.

From the heavy footsteps, it was as if one could see the terrifying five-meter-tall figure of the Tier Two Butcher dragging a massive metal club as it approached.

Xiaoba stood dumbfounded, watching the tragic scene below.

Liang Kuan squinted and glanced around, showing no emotional fluctuations, once again reminding them.

”We should go.”

At this moment, a sharp voice came from within a car.

”Mom, it’s biting my leg——”

In an instant, every vehicle turned into a metal porcupine, puncturing the zombies and Evolution Beasts piled on top of them.

Liang Kuan turned his head and saw that Xiaoba’s eyes had already turned into a cold metallic color.

He sighed, ”The disaster was brought by us; they won’t be grateful to you.”

”Even saving one is good.”

The black smoke rising from the scorched corpse obscured the youth’s eyes, making it impossible to discern the emotions within.

The ground shook, and hundreds of tons of metal were extracted from the surrounding buildings, collapsing structures one by one, their rumble drowning out the exclamations of Liang Kuan and Lin Jin.

The Tier One vocational skill that had stumped Xiaoba for so long, ”Metal Constructs,” was now complete.

The desperate survivors discovered a new gateway opening in the metal barrier.

...

On the troop transport vehicle that had just arrived at the northern freight platform, Su Huan opened one black and one red eye.

The completely opposite states within his body formed a strange balance.

The collapsing genes and the rapidly regenerating genes cancelled each other out.

Accompanied by the slow heartbeat, pervasive energy circulated slowly throughout his body. If he wanted to use some skills with his fingers or other parts of his body, he no longer needed to divert attention to draw energy from his heart.

The previously disintegrated ”Fighting Master” vocation had recovered, the main vocation ”Energy Storage Core” had all three skills reach Level 5, ”Pervasive Energy Perception” reached Level 5, and ”Energy Cycle” reached Level 3.

These two skills were linked to the main vocation, so they were relatively stable.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous skills, like asteroids orbiting a star, that would randomly disintegrate after a period but could be used before that.

For example, ”Cell Regeneration,” ”Infrared Vision,” ”Iron Bones,” ”Energy Multiplication”…

At this time, Su Huan used Level 1 ”Infrared Vision” + Level 5 ”Pervasive Energy Perception” + Yu Yue’s ”Shared Acoustic Field” to see Xiaoba standing on the metal wall blocking the Tier Two Butcher.

Despite his influence, Xiaoba was still Xiaoba.

Clear and distinct.

’Tch, these people are really lucky…’

Su Huan’s lips curled upwards.

The remaining 30% of pervasive energy in his body, under ”Energy Multiplication,” transformed into electricity gathering on the roof. In the shocked gaze of the surrounding survivors, the flickering arc was gradually compressed into a deep blue liquid spear, with the tip aimed in the direction of the metal wall.

In the next instant, from Yu Jing, Wan Xing, and others inside the train on the platform to Jiang Rong and Yu Yue in the car, and even Liang Kuan and Xiaoba on the metal barrier, they all saw a flash of lightning coming from the north.

In an instant, the world was as bright as daylight.

Mirroring the burning heavy industrial zone from afar.

When they saw the lightning, the area with the Tier Two Butcher at its center, spanning several hundred meters, was enveloped by the thunderstorm.

On the train, Tong Zizhan looked at the distant electric flames, his voice hoarse, ”With this power and range… has it already reached Tier Two?”

Gao Yuan swallowed hard, ”The intensity isn’t quite enough, but from five hundred meters away, how did he target it so accurately, and how did he throw it so far? This clearly involves more than one ability.”

”The train conductor has a secret.”

”Let’s stay cautious for a while, don’t get promoted. When the time comes, if we rise too high, the company will suspect us too.”

”Weren’t you the one who confessed first?”

”Did you confess any less?”

The two immediately fell silent.

Standing on the metal barrier, Xiaoba looked at the Tier Two Butcher being controlled, a light of surprise flashing in his eyes, ”Su, you’re awake?”

Su Huan’s slightly teasing voice reached their ears.

”Finished showing off and still not run? Addicted to playing hero?”

”I didn’t…”

”Lightning won’t kill this thing. Liang Kuan, take the two of them and come back quickly.”

Xiaoba shyly scratched his head, seeing the Tier Two Butcher struggling in the lightning below, he quickly closed the metal barrier and walked down the wall.

But before he took two steps, Liang Kuan’s large hand grabbed and lifted him.

Including Lin Jin, one in each hand, they jumped off the ten-meter-high iron wall.

With a deft movement, he grabbed Xiaoba’s wheelchair, making strides toward the northern freight station, with a speed no less than a speeding pickup truck, even surpassing it over obstacles.

Seeing the three return, Su Huan also breathed a sigh of relief.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed survivors around the freight station, but the excessive energy consumption left him too tired to care.

”We found a train fully loaded with supplies on the platform, a total of ten carriages, the locomotive is a TS-20000, a diesel-electric dual-mode freight locomotive, with a maximum towing capacity of 20,000 tons, and it is linking with an armed train.”

Yu Jing’s calm voice suddenly interjected.

Su Huan raised his eyebrows in surprise, glancing at Director Xu at his feet, roughly understanding what was going on, and let out a cold chuckle.

”I’ll leave the rest to you; aim to leave within ten minutes.”

”Understood.”

After instructing Yu Yue to cut off others’ listening in on him,

Su Huan twisted his body, and a dull friction noise of bones, like colliding rocks, sounded.

He properly adjusted the broken bone and then coughed, spitting out a mouthful of clotted blood.

There was a slight rustling sound beside him.

A black wide sleeve appeared above Su Huan’s chest, with five white fingers clenched into a fist. Just as he was puzzled, a warm sensation spread from under his skin.

The muscles under the skin itched.

Su Huan raised an eyebrow.

A healing-type skill?

He wondered whether it was of the controller or collector direction.

’This isn’t a newly evolved skill.’

Director Xu gave Lin Xi a deep look, not expecting this seemingly simple girl to hide so many things.

(There’s more tonight, today’s target is ten thousand)
