Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 429: Chapter 278: ”Old Man Collapse

Good negotiation involves emotions, layers, and hidden agendas.

In the first half, Su Huan was cold, explosive, and decisive.

In the second half, Su Huan was inhumane.

After listening to his terms, Mr. Shu looked around, feeling as if he had a breath stuck in his chest, ”Isn’t this like a kidnap?”

”I’m glad you realize it that way.”

Su Huan pinched his chin and took a step back, his combat boot stepping on the Four-armed Fierce Ghost, Han Lie, in the pit, who let out a muffled groan.

”Oh, still alive.”

Surprised, Su Huan lifted one foot, the crimson water churning for a moment, and a wet head emerged, the dazed eyes first reflecting Mr. Shu on the sofa opposite, then Su Huan’s mocking smile, before anger could rise.

With a splash, it was stomped back into the puddle by Su Huan.

Su Huan smiled at Mr. Shu, ”So, have you made your decision?”

Mr. Shu sighed, ”The value you’ve demanded exceeds what I and the people of Black Kite here can produce in the future. The company will never agree.”

”Since it’s a negotiation, there must be room for discussion. Let’s take it one step at a time.” Su Huan ground his unlucky victim under his foot with the tip of his boot, ”What about this person? You have three seconds to decide.”

Mr. Shu was a little surprised, ”A Tier Two Evolver is considered high-ranking in Black Kite. Aren’t you worried about his betrayal?”

Su Huan didn’t answer, pretending to look at the watch on his wrist that had long stopped.

Han Lie was not a ”Defender” in the direction of beastification, but more like Yu Jing, a ”Maker” in the direction of flesh. The extra pair of arms was a change left by generalized energy corroding his flesh.

From the perspective of combat power and results, this promotion direction is considered successful at this stage.

A Tier Two flesh ”Maker” could provide quite a few references for Yu Jing.

”Time’s up.”

Amid the crowd’s uncertain gaze, Su Huan reached out and grabbed the short spear piercing Han Lie’s chest.

He pulled it out, then backhanded it into Han Lie’s occipital bone.

The weak struggles under the water ceased completely.

Sitting directly opposite, Mr. Shu did not react at all, the top light made his eye sockets appear particularly deep, with only his eyes holding a hint of incredulous astonishment.

A Tier Two Evolver of enormous value...

Was just killed like that?

Watching Su Huan take out a Tier Two without blinking, those present felt a jolt through their hearts.

The three gunmen touching their lower backs forgot to lower their hands.

The bearded leader rubbed his beard in disbelief until he felt the pain from pulled follicles to confirm it was real.

Looking back, he asked with wide eyes, ”Has Donghuang’s power swelled to such an extent? Killing a Tier Two is easier than us executing a comrade?”

The somewhat stiff face of the shorter Mao Bear on the left said, ”Shut up, Yuri, he’s looking over.”

The shorter Mao Bear said while giving him a look.

Yuri turned his head with a sheepish grin and continued to whisper, ”I’m serious, this kid is really suited for our Gunfire, by the way, did we send the information out?”

The person in the high turtleneck behind shook his head slightly, making a gesture indicating communications were blocked.

Yuri silently cursed it all on himself and continued to watch the show.

Meanwhile, Zhong You had been so frightened by this scene that his eyes shrank to pinpoints.

When he first became an Evolver, Han Lie was already a Tier One Evolver. At that time, the chief instructor dragged him along to demonstrate, and the ferocious power left an extremely deep impression on him.

When he became a Tier One Evolver, Han Lie had already made a name for himself on the company’s Western Sand Beast campaign front and had advanced to Tier Two Evolver months before him, pushing east by hundreds of kilometers, constructing three large outposts, and then accumulating enough merit to become a Golden Kite.

Yet the dignified ”Four-armed Fierce Ghost” died in such an anonymous negotiation!

In a rotten puddle!

No, it’s not just that.

Zhong You’s gaze swept over the spies sent by major forces, this negotiation would soon become famous.

And the armed train would stomp over their Black Kite, over a director, and two Golden Kites to climb to the top of post-apocalyptic power.

As for Golden Kite Wang Yi, he was not included in his calculations.

Only the Golden Kites of the three main authority departments were true Golden Kites, the others were just for show.

The reason Wang Yi could maintain his current status was partly due to his pre-apocalyptic contributions being significant enough, and partly because of Mr. Shu.

As long as Mr. Shu didn’t fall, Wang Yi’s position would remain special.

But now...

It all depended on this man in front of him.

The conductor stood in the middle, his feet staying dry, and a casual glance made the big shots present speechless; that highland flower more stunning than he imagined stood behind him like a maid respectfully, not minding her delicate high heels soaking in the filthy water.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Shu Wei instinctively turned her head.

The corner of her eye swept past Zhong You calmly, without any fluctuation.

Just like when all his training scores surpassed hers, she also congratulated him with this calm gaze, like a bucket of cold water pouring over his head, snuffing out the budding pride.

After achieving Tier One, he didn’t go out on missions to accumulate merits for promotion but stayed comfortably with Cao Yong.

He thought that achieving Tier Two would surprise her, but he didn’t expect it to turn out like this...

A feeling named reluctance rose within him.

”You... killed him?”

Mr. Shu’s voice was somewhat choked.
