Chapter 82: Electricity Won’t Kill You
“Bang——”
A irritable and loud sound rang out outside the carriage, like the chest cavity of an old father breathing, rumbling.
But the impact point was not above the two of them.
Not even their carriage.
“Head, what is that?”
“Heavy sniper rifle!” Lu Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his head, looking at the carriage in front with lingering fear.
The opponent’s stance was clearly aimed at the armored train.
He didn’t know what was going on; wasn’t the train always fleeing from disaster? How did it attract such a powerful enemy?
“Sniper rifle? Can it penetrate steel plate?”
The young man nearby asked curiously.
Lu Xiao gritted his teeth, “You might not know what the concept of 12.7 caliber is, but if you modify this gun to fire continuously, it’s called an anti-aircraft machine gun. If your marksmanship is accurate enough, you can theoretically hold it and shoot down planes!”
“Not to mention our 3mm thick iron sheet, even the 15mm thick steel plate of the armored train in front can be pierced with one shot!”
“Holy shit, that’s so fierce! Doesn’t that mean the guy surnamed Su… the train conductor is done for?”
Lu Xiao glared at him with hatred for his incompetence, “Idiot! We’re all on the same train. If the train flips, where the hell can you run to?!”
After saying that, he ignored him and crawled toward the front carriage.
……
In carriage No. 2, Yu Yue standing behind the cabinet had dazed eyes.
Su Huan stood to her front left, smiling as he raised his right hand, the outer side of his palm with flesh flipped open, blood surging out eagerly.
In that split-second moment, she only saw Su Huan swipe his hand in front of her, and the bullet that should have hit her shoulder was strangely deflected by some force, shooting into the steel plate of the carriage behind.
“You… let me bandage it for you!” Yu Yue hesitated for a moment then said decisively.
Then she went to rummage for the medical kit prepared in the dining car.
“No need for that much trouble.”
Su Huan waved his hand, the wound instantly carbonized and blackened, blood stopped immediately, filling the carriage with the smell of roasted pig trotters.
From beginning to end, he didn’t even furrow his brows, as if it wasn’t his own hand.
He could shape intangible energy into tangible forms, naturally able to use this energy to interfere with matter.
Just like earlier.
He shaped an energy barrier, slightly deflecting the armor-piercing round that had consumed a lot of kinetic energy.
If it weren’t for the opponent’s caliber being too thick, he wouldn’t have even been grazed by the blast wave.
Of course, this didn’t mean he could directly tank a heavy sniper rifle.
This was mainly because the opponent was too far away from them.
Yu Yue looked at his palm, her long, arched eyebrows furrowing.
“Get down.”
Su Huan’s tone was clear and cold.
But for the first time, Yu Yue didn’t obediently follow his order. She picked up her sniper rifle from the side, quickly opened the window, pulled the gun bolt, and aimed at the off-road vehicle chasing behind the building.
“Pa!”
The off-road vehicle’s field of view vanished, crashing into the walls on both sides.
Yu Yue stubbornly pulled the gun bolt, ejecting the shell, her eyes behind the scope narrowing into slits, the upturned corners of her eyes carrying a hint of danger.
Su Huan’s expression changed slightly.
This shot finally hit the off-road vehicle, but it was blocked by the vehicle’s armor.
She wanted to fire again, but was stopped by Su Huan, “Be good, get down first.”
Yu Yue finally relented and handed him the sniper rifle in her hand.
Old San also ran over with two brothers, shouting as soon as he entered, “Train conductor, we seem to be under attack!”
Su Huan walked to the window side, looking at the off-road vehicle faintly visible a kilometer away, his tone clear and cold, “That’s not ‘seem’—notify everyone to get down, tell Xiao Ba to protect Liang Kuan, ignore everything else, and keep accelerating!”
Old San and the others immediately left.
Su Huan’s gaze was deep. In his previous life, it was Captain He who opened the armory, the commander of a hundred-man convoy from the Steel Council, Defender Realm, Tier 3 “Guns and Cannons Master,” his body enhanced multiple times with genes, a fierce man who could dual-wield anti-aircraft machine guns and steady cannons with one hand.
With brilliant battle records, more recently in the “New City Plan,” he led people to crush over ten thousand zombies in the county town.
Becoming the founder of the Steel Council’s first city after the apocalypse.
Then, during the migration of zombies from numerous high-temperature zones, he became the executor of the “Fire Wall Plan.”
If not for his evolution rank being too low, it would be impossible for Lin Jin, an ordinary person who only awakened during the New City Plan, to surpass him later.
But according to his estimate, the current Captain He should be the same as him, just Tier 1 “Firepower Specialist.”
If the opponent were Tier 3—no, even Tier 2—he would already be charging up with heavy artillery to blow up his train by now.
Su Huan narrowed his eyes.
‘See if I can find out from him who wanted to kill me back then…’
……
Watching the armored train get farther away, He Jie clenched his fist hard.
Chasing a train with an off-road vehicle in city terrain was truly exhausting.
From start to finish, he only found an opportunity to fire one shot.
Then there were endless zombies popping up everywhere.
Because the response was too hasty, even this elite unit was struggling a bit, resulting in constant close calls.
He Jie said viciously, “Greyhound, switch positions!”
The soldier driving the off-road vehicle immediately released the controls and squeezed toward the passenger seat.
In just three or four seconds, the two switched positions in the cramped driver’s cabin.
As soon as he sat down, He Jie floored the accelerator.
The modified off-road vehicle roared like a lion unleashed from its cage in his hands, madly weaving left and right through the zombie horde.
The three off-road vehicles behind had to rev up to avoid being left behind.
“Hold on tight!”
A ruthless glint flashed across He Jie’s face as he charged straight at a sedan by the roadside.
The off-road vehicle leaped like a kangaroo, directly onto the rooftop of a small building nearby.
The three vehicles behind were stunned for a moment, then turned to follow around.
“Bang bang bang…”
He Jie’s vehicle smashed through over a dozen old water heaters along the way, finally closing the distance to the armored train. The railway track was below the fourth floor, the two only twenty meters apart.
One above, one below.
The two vehicles achieved brief parallelism.
At this distance, Su Huan could clearly see He Jie’s ferocious expression, his two eyeballs simultaneously conveying one message, “Kid, I’ve got you!”
Su Huan smiled indifferently. Captain He was indeed quite ferocious when he was young.
However, this distance was his optimal output range.
The moment the soldier in the opponent’s back seat raised his gun, crackling explosions rang out inside the armored train carriage.
A blue spear flashed wildly, like an elf restrained in his hand.
All metal objects in the dining car began to tremble.
Su Huan hurled it toward the off-road vehicle outside the window, which was leaping down from the fourth-floor building.
The cold blue spear tore through the air like a spider web ripping space, tracing a Z-shaped trajectory and smashing squarely into the airborne modified off-road vehicle.
Then it exploded violently!
