Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 375: Chapter 252: Problem Solved

Ah Duo stared blankly at the scene before her, as if the grenade had just exploded in her mind, still buzzing away.

The cold wind carried the smell of blood as it blew past, bringing with it the acrid scent of gunpowder.

Ah Duo was suddenly jolted awake, lifting her gaze toward the silhouette on the altar, her heart engulfed by a profound bewilderment.

”Is this blood enough now?”

Her mind had lost its ability to think, leaving only her mouth to repeat meaningless questions.

”Why?”

Su Huan rested one hand on the back of a chair, his body slightly turned, glancing at the watch on his left wrist.

The watch had long since stopped, but fortunately, he wasn’t really checking it.

”My time is very precious. If I wait for you all, it’ll be dark before we’re done.”

”But everyone is dead...”

Ever since the High Priest had prophesied the arrival of the successor, she had started preparing.

For this, she even refused to become one of the Four Priests.

She just wanted to wait for the successor’s arrival, assist them in defeating the Second Priest, and once he was toppled, she would become the most trusted person of the successor, taking over the Second Priest’s position to lead New Eden into the larger world beyond.

This story would certainly have many twists and turns, with difficulty in the beginning.

But it would eventually become the epic of a new era.

But she hadn’t expected the turning point to come so suddenly and brutally.

A full three hundred people, with a thunderous ”boom,” were mixed into the soil of the island, becoming worthless sludge and debris.

Any kind of story, struggle, even the Second Priest, were all blown into a pile of mud.

It felt like not only had the table been upturned, but the whole house had been burned down.

She intended to bring salvation, but instead brought destruction.

An empty and bewildered feeling spontaneously arose.

In face of all this, the High Priest seemed much calmer; perhaps she had already ”seen” the broken scene in the prophecy, or maybe her cloudy eyes had long lost their ability to see.

Shu Wei glanced compassionately at Ah Duo.

Trying to dominate in their rules without knowing the width of the river, unable to accommodate this dragon crossing the river.

According to her current understanding of Su Huan.

He only cared about the armored train and his own goals, and nothing else was of much concern to him.

He was even so lazy as to not make any deliberate choices.

This was an extremely obsessive and serious person, neither arrogant nor humble, but absolutely fixated.

In the face of this obsession, even his own life was secondary.

Since arriving on the island, Su Huan probably never cared about New Eden, not to mention the High Priest or the Second Priest; if the altar hadn’t temporarily caught his interest, the Second Priest would now be leading two hundred people to kneel and pay tribute.

But now...

It could be considered watered.

”Do we need to call the experts on the train to check the altar’s effects?”

”Call Director Xu and the others over. The general energy concentration in the air is quite high now.”

Su Huan said halfway, his gaze landing on the edge of the pit.

A figure staggered to its feet.

Dark red ice shards fell from the coat with a rustle, and the backpack had somehow split open; instinctively, he reached for it, but ended up spinning like a three-year-old child and falling to the ground.

That fall cleared Liu Chang’s mind a bit.

When he saw the mongoose approaching, he hid at the edge of the crowd, and that bit of caution saved him.

Using his abilities and a bit of luck, he survived.

Though his mind was still spinning, as he glanced at the unscathed figures on the altar, Liu Chang thought there was no harm in lying down.

But for the Second Priest, this was intolerable.

Having received two divine blessings, a Tier One Evolver like him wouldn’t die so easily.

With his close confidant’s abilities and the protection of the Death God, he also survived.

However, his right hand was blasted away, nowhere to be found.

But what really turned his face pale wasn’t the massive blood loss, but the meaning behind that grenade shot.

That kind of power was definitely not something a survivor should possess!

Along with Old Wu and the mongoose hiding behind the other side.

Apparently, they had been prepared long before.

Could this be the High Priest’s backup plan?

The Second Priest glared at the calm Su Huan on the stage.

His voice hoarse like a zombie’s dry roar, as if to tear his vocal cords.

”Who exactly are you?”

Confronted by the Second Priest’s questioning, Su Huan raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly saying, ”The High Priest, no?”

While speaking, a dozen more people gradually stood up from the pit.

After all, they were Evolvers; having some life-saving abilities was normal.

The Second Priest swept his gaze over those standing, feeling slightly reassured when he spotted the silent Third Priest.

Silently urging his ability, he felt responses rising from the base of the mountain, instantly boosting his confidence.

As long as the rite wasn’t over, he hadn’t lost!

He still had a chance to turn the tables!

While calculating, he manipulated the Death God to absorb the scattered divine stones.

The Second Priest grimly said, ”To become the High Priest, you must have strength, and you also need the endorsement of two-thirds of New Eden’s people; only the highly respected can become the High Priest.”

After speaking, seeing that Su Huan didn’t answer.

He found it strange, looked up, and saw Su Huan counting people with his fingers.

Mumbling to himself, ”I have two here, you have sixteen, which means, as long as I leave only you, I can become the High Priest?”

Because he didn’t lower his voice, even Liu Chang lying in the pit heard it.

A chill swept through everyone’s hearts.

The Second Priest hurriedly said, ”Do you think you have everything under control?”
