Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 334: Chapter 233: Hold Your Ground!

”Why do you think I’m willing to shelter you?”

Su Huan turned his head slightly, a faint perplexed expression on his face.

Zhang Min stood at the edge of the rooftop, staring across the five-meter-long steel beam.

The sizzling electricity pierced the air, the burnt fishy scent filling their nostrils.

As they got closer, the terrifying pressure from Su Huan became even more palpable, like being near a bloodsucking beast, making the heart instinctively leap to the throat.

Feeling the trembling in her body and the fear in her heart, Zhang Min felt even more excited.

This was the train conductor she remembered.

Previously, although deep and unfathomable, it was hidden too deeply, making people feel disappointed.

Zhang Min curled her lips with sarcasm, ”Of course I know the conductor wouldn’t lift a finger for nothing.”

After speaking, she reached out and took off her jacket, revealing the white sports bra inside.

The onlooker Shu Wei was so shocked by this move that her eyes widened.

How could this girl be so much more daring than she was?

There were so many people around.

Didn’t she care about her image at all?

However... such youthful vitality.

Then, catching the point, she looked down at herself.

The accumulation of time showed a heavy fruit on her body, but no matter how healthy, it had to obey the laws of physics, the fruit humbly drooping its head.

They each have their advantages and disadvantages.

Shu Wei pursed her lips slightly, a bit worried.

Su Huan’s gaze was deep, because Zhang Min did not continue to undress, but instead spread the jacket toward him, revealing oily handprints on her shoulder.

Although the clothes were wet from the rain, it was still visible that the color was different from the surroundings.

Zhang Min said nothing, her eyes clearly flashed with the meaning ”You used me to wipe your hands, isn’t it reasonable for me to ask you to shelter me once?”

Seeing Su Huan silent, Zhang Min knew that he understood her meaning, as she put on her clothes and spoke calmly.

”Of course, I’m not one to freeload. I’ll help you deal with the trouble downstairs.”

Yes, this was mocking him for taunting her about freeloading before.

He just didn’t expect his little act to be noticed.

”Fine, but only until dawn, and the cost will be recalculated afterward.”

Since the other party clearly stated they wouldn’t join the armed train, accounts must be settled clearly.

”No problem, after dawn, we’ll go our separate ways.”

Zhang Min calculated that the Evolution Beast downstairs would surely leave by then, so she readily agreed.

...

Seeing the two of them reach an agreement so smoothly, Shu Wei was completely dumbfounded.

If Yu Yue and Su Huan’s conversation was traceable, Zhang Min’s conversation was utterly baffling.

Just because she took off her clothes, he agreed to shelter her for a night?

And since she could solve the crab tide downstairs, why did she come back begging for shelter?

Looking at Zhang Min, who seemed like she had won a battle, one question after another arose in Shu Wei’s mind.

Her eyes kept darting between Su Huan and Zhang Min, now more curious about what had happened between the two to result in such tacit understanding.

”Fulfill your promise, then.”

Su Huan dispersed the lightning from the building beneath his feet.

Deprived of suppression, the azure crabs suddenly came alive, clambering over one another, excitedly crawling toward the rooftop, already reaching past the twelfth floor in sight.

Su Huan locked the ”Pan-energy Perception” onto Zhang Min.

This skill, frequently used, had already advanced to level 7, maintaining pace with the main skill.

Perception was not detailed, but it had helped Su Huan solve many problems.

”Only then” an invisible energy wave spread from Zhang Min, like a large net capturing the crabs below. What surprised him, however, was an energy wave seemed to emanate from himself, as if actively harmonizing with Zhang Min’s ability.

But this wave flickered briefly, leading Su Huan to suspect it was his illusion.

Soon, the pan-energy within the net began to return.

This pan-energy felt heavier, as if encapsulating something that exceeded the scope of ”pan-energy,” so Su Huan only vaguely sensed it, not accurately judged it.

Zhang Min’s aura visibly improved.

”They’re retreating, the crab tide is retreating!”

The soldiers by the building immediately shouted.

Su Huan looked down, and the azure crabs below were not dead, retreating in an orderly fashion as if organized by someone, contemplation flickering in his eyes.

This was another ability he didn’t understand.

It looked somewhat like an ability to manipulate Mutant Beasts, but based on the previous feelings, it clearly wasn’t a normal information exchange process.

Evolvers capable of manipulating Mutant Beasts he had seen in his previous life.

They mostly transmitted their commands to the Mutant Beasts, unlike Zhang Min, who seemed to strip away something from the beasts.

However, it’s fine if he didn’t understand, as long as he stayed cautious.

He was a full level above Zhang Min anyway.

No chance for fiasco.

The crab tide flowed like retreating seawater, moving orderly from top to bottom.

Exposing the pitted and battered wall they had hammered with their claws.

Su Huan stood up, energy surging, drying his clothes.

Although the outcome was unexpected, resolving the issue was good enough.

”Why are those crabs coming back again?”

Hearing the soldiers’ cries, Su Huan glanced down.

He saw the receding crabs seemingly poised for a comeback, constructing a stairway over the water surface once more, like armor-clad soldiers, clattering as they resumed the siege.

Zhang Min’s expression changed, once again activating her ability to disperse the crab tide.

Ten minutes later.

Su Huan shook his head, ”Don’t waste your time; these aren’t the same crabs. If you want to drive away the crab tide this way, you need to go through all the crabs.”

”Moreover, the crabs previously dispersed have already swum back, meaning, unless you can once and for all disperse all the crabs, they will still be assimilated back into the group.”
