Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Seeing the half pack of cigarettes offered by the other party, the Manager’s attitude softened slightly, but he still said coldly, ”Big shots are playing their games above, and you just have to walk into the firing line? Are you tired of living?”

The man opened his mouth but did not retort, merely responding in silence.

”It’s over, going to challenge the thirty-fifth arena master!”

Someone shouted from outside.

A Tier One Evolver came to the two men’s side, just about to make the handover when the man beside them quickly said, ”I just won, now I’m the thirty-fifth arena master!”

The Manager, exasperated, exclaimed, ”I really find you to be such a fool! They’re taking the hit for you, and instead of keeping your head down, you keep looking to die, right?”

”Fine, you want to go, this time I’ll let you go!”

”But I’m telling you, if you dare to hurt the noble opponent, you can forget about coming back alive.”

But under the man’s insistence, the Manager finally allowed him to enter the gladiatorial arena.

As the man adjusted the position of the bone spike in his hand, he observed the arena. Blood Axe King Yue was dragged away by the staff, looking rather miserable, all tattered, but his injuries were evenly spread out, and he’d be back in action after just lying down for two days.

If there’s plenty of high-energy food, it might not even take two days.

As a ”Decomposer” who came from the wilderness, the man was very accurate in judging injuries.

The Scavenger camps lacked doctors, so his profession occasionally required him to act as a ”Pharmacist”.

On the other side, a young man with a buzz cut stared intently at him, holding a foot-long military knife upside down, his gray-green trench coat extending below his knees, with not a single scratch on it.

Surrounding him were hundreds of Iron Swift carcasses, densely packed, almost covering half the arena.

’No sacrifices this time!’

The man was startled, not expecting the arena to break with tradition.

He glanced with his peripheral vision at the figure in the air; he was the only one sitting in a chair among the others.

Although there was some dread in his heart, the man had no regrets. If he couldn’t finish all three matches today, the potion’s effects would expire. Who knows how long it would take to gather enough ingredients to enhance combat abilities, and his wife definitely wouldn’t hold on until then.

The man took a deep breath, casting aside everything unrelated to the fight.

His eyes instantly turned into a dull, lightless state, and then his whole body suddenly fell sideways with no warning. At the moment he tilted over, the air at his original spot twisted, producing a deafening explosion.

In the Bomb’s pupils, there were points of vibrant color like fireworks, and the air surrounding the man twisted simultaneously at twelve points, causing simultaneous explosions.

The shockwaves from the explosions overlapped, creating an even more violent explosion.

”Chain reaction”!

Holding the man’s figure tightly locked within the Iron Swift swarm.

If a mass explosion were to be directly triggered, it would take longer, but a ”Chain reaction” can use small, quick explosions to spark greater ones.

”The Bomb has improved a lot.”

Hu Shuo remarked with a sigh.

Su Reya swept her beautiful eyes lazily and said, ”This move is indeed quite beautiful, but it’s useless.”

Su Huan neither agreed nor disagreed with their evaluations; his gaze was already immersed in the explosion.

The explosions controlled by the Bomb weren’t confined by tangible matter; more accurately, it was a conceptual explosion played with using Pan Energy, useless in front of him but quite annoying for other Evolvers.

Hidden, fast, and with no specific method of suppression.

Close combat is the only way.

However, Su Huan sensed a sudden disappearance of energy fiercely moving in the core of the explosion, or rather, it was ”cut off”.

The intensity of the explosion immediately dropped a level.

This is the core ability of a ”Decomposer”, ”Decomposition”.

Originally, he presented Wan Xing with three options: ”Pharmacist”, ”Trace Expert”, ”Decomposer”, with skills for all, but ”Decomposer” was the rarest because of this skill’s complexity.

It’s much harder to master than the ”Extraction” of a ”Pharmacist”, considered a superior skill to ”Extraction”.

To date, only two Evolvers on the train have mastered ”Decomposition”, one of whom is Tier One.

But the other one couldn’t detach an opponent’s energy in battle.

It implied that this man’s skill was likely ”Advanced Decomposition”.

That’s the only way to explain why his combat power far surpassed ordinary ”Decomposers”.

But such a top-tier skill, just like Xiaoba’s ”Metal Manipulation”, is a real waste of talent when used in combat. Placed on the train, he could easily dismantle Tier Three materials, much faster than Wan Xing.

By then, have him decompose materials and Wan Xing make potions; the train’s potion output could at least triple.

With increased potion production, the direct result would be a surge in the number of Evolvers.

While Su Huan was lost in thought, the Bomb had already charged into the Iron Swift swarm, engaging in close combat with the opponent.

This scene made Su Reya shake her head.

If he had maintained distance, leveraging the distance advantage of a ”Controller,” the Bomb might have exchanged a few moves with the opponent, but in close combat, there was no chance at all.

The man seized the opportunity, sacrificing one hand to directly decompose the Bomb’s military knife, then nudged the Bone Spike against his throat.

The battle ended with the man’s third consecutive win.

Enthusiastic cheers erupted around them. The sudden appearance of Su Huan and others didn’t cause the Dragon Gate audience to lose interest; instead, the fresh faces and new combat styles sparked a wave of excitement.

Hua Junyan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, but he relaxed upon seeing that the train conductor had no objections to the result.
