Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Lin Xi tilted her head slightly, her large swath of silver hair cascading down, refracting the steady laboratory lights in an oscillating manner.

”Trickster.”

Su Huan stepped over seven people and walked to Lin Xi’s side, casually twisting a few strands of her silver hair around his fingers, lifting the girl’s delicate chin, and spoke in a dangerous tone, ”Some passengers have lost basic respect for the conductor.”

”Let go of her!”

Sato, who was originally kneeling beside, suddenly said angrily.

Su Huan turned his head in surprise, noticing that these people were looking at him with angry eyes, as if he had desecrated their deity.

When he entered, he felt something was off. These people stared at Lin Xi throughout and ignored him, the conductor. No kidding, Su Huan’s presence now was as strong as a Tier Three Evolution Beast, impossible not to notice.

That meant they were dominated by a higher existence.

He turned to look at Lin Xi, curiously asking, ”Where do they get the courage to speak to me?”

The girl shrugged, ”Director Xu always asks me to stabilize them, brainwashing has gone overboard.”

Director Xu, standing behind, supplemented, ”Chongying People inherently have this extreme loyalty factor in their bones, and when doubled, they take Lin Xi as their faith, even if asked to undertake the most dangerous experiments, as long as Lin Xi says so, they’ll go without hesitation.”

”So useful? Make them turn around.”

Lin Xi’s lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coolness.

”Turn around,”

Although the seven were angrily wanting to tear Su Huan’s flesh, their bodies were unbelievably obedient and turned around as soon as the words were spoken.

”Make them roll away, using my exact words.”

Lin Xi said helplessly, ”Roll away.”

The group silently began rolling on the ground towards different directions.

The degree of brainwashing was astonishing.

”Alright, let’s test life force first; this thing has a high startup cost.”

Seeing the wicked amusement flicker in Su Huan’s eyes, clearly wanting to issue two more excessive orders, Director Xu quickly brought the situation back on track.

He didn’t want any filthy things happening in his laboratory.

Su Huan looked up at the corner machine, somewhat resembling a weighing scale, surrounded by various detection mechanical arms, carrying a stunning Pan-energy fluctuation, all starting with Tier Two Pan-energy Crystals.

”Lin Xi and Lin Jin have already been tested, Tier One standard life force is around 50 points, Tier Two is about 300 points.”

Director Xu said.

Su Huan stepped directly onto the device, ”Aligns somewhat differently from my prediction.”

Director Xu asked while adjusting the machine, ”How is it different?”

”I thought life force was a fixed value tied to lifespan, consuming one point per upgrade.”

Director Xu considered for a moment, ”The logic is correct, but you overlooked the massive life force brought by tier advancement. If advancing only consumes without replenishing, ordinary people’s slight life force would lead to instant death after advancing one tier.”

Su Huan pondered, ”You mean each upgrade raises the life force ceiling?”

”You could understand it that way.”

Director Xu retreated a few steps, standing behind Lin Xi.

The lights on the device in front of them flickered, some magnetic patches adhered to Su Huan’s body, and various detection mechanical arms started moving.

”Do I need to release some energy?”

Director Xu immediately looked horrified, ”No, no, this is fine!”

After a full ten minutes, the test finally ended, revealing Su Huan’s life force at an astonishing 2200 points.

But Director Xu was clearly dissatisfied with the figure, repeatedly testing numerous times.

Up and down variance did not exceed 30, evidently this machine was quite stable.

After much research, Su Huan finally saw his complete data panel.

Life Force: 2200

Strength: Level 7 (Tier Two)

Speed: Level 8 (Tier Two)

Defense: Level 5 (Tier One)

Endurance: Level 6 (Tier Two)

Constitution: Level 6 (Tier Two)

Total Energy: Level 13 (Tier Four)

Energy Intensity: Level 10 (Tier Three)

Precise Control: Level 6 (Tier Two)

Sustainability: Level 8 (Tier Two)

Energy Immunity: Level 9 (Tier Three)

Primary Profession: Tier Three ”Fusion Furnace” = Tier Three ”Energy Storage Core” [Level 10 ”Pan-energy Transformation” + Level 10 ”High Energy Compression” + Level 9 ”Energy Shaping”] + Tier Two ”Circulating Vortex” [Level 7 ”Energy Circulation” + Level 6 ”Pan-energy Absorption”] + Level 9 ”Pan-energy Perception” + Level 2 ”Energy Attraction and Repulsion”

Secondary Profession: Tier Two ”Fighting Expert” = Tier Two ”Fighting Master” [Level 7 ”Battle Factor” + Level 6 ”Fighting Specialization” + Level 6 ”Hyper-speed Nerve”] + Level 3 ”Gas Turbulence” + Level 2 ”Inner Vision”

All information is displayed clearly.

Physical attributes are relatively balanced, only the defense is lacking, but that is normal. Unless it’s someone like Liang Kuan who invests in passive defense, generally Evolvers’ defense is much weaker than attack attributes.

Such as Xiaoba, Lin Jin as prime examples, a sniper shot easily takes them away.

Su Huan reached Tier Three before acquiring some effective means to prevent long-range attacks, but those are external ”skills” similar to ”dodging,” rather than hard resistance.

Thus, Liang Kuan is the only one on the entire train who can act recklessly on the battlefield.

Whether it’s a Tier Two Evolution Beast or a Tier Two Zombie, he swings the shield just to hit.

Energy based basic attributes are the most extreme, some approaching Tier Four, but the precise control part is just barely Tier Two.

Like a child holding a gun; deadly, but inaccurate.

”...truly beautiful.”

Director Xu’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the data on the panel.

Su Huan stepped down from the instrument, regretfully saying, ”This thing’s good, just the testing’s a bit troublesome. If there were something like a watch or blood meter, just a scan would reveal all attributes.”

Director Xu shook his head helplessly, ”Someone must have thought of this idea, but when watches incorporating various detection functions were genuinely launched it was already in the year 2000, with widespread usage not until fifteen years later, around 2016-2017.”
