Chapter 104: No Reciprocation Is Impolite!
Various mutated beasts emerged from the bushes and behind buildings.
Three to four meters high iron gates were leaped over, furry ones and non-furry ones, big ones and small ones, running ones and jumping ones, a bunch of glowing green eyeballs locked onto the convoy!
As if they had spotted the most delicious food.
The sergeant in the driver’s seat’s complexion changed drastically, he yanked the steering wheel hard, the vehicle slid sideways, using its side to ram a terror claw cat flying away, no time to follow up with a shot, floored the accelerator.
Zhang Tie in the passenger seat also reacted, slamming the center console heavily, “Damn it, we got ambushed!”
After saying that, he picked up the assault rifle in his hands and fired directly at a mutated beast outside the window.
The bullet passed through the car window glass without hindrance, drilling three blood holes in the mutated beast’s forehead.
The “tat-tat-tat” sounds rhythmically rang out.
Even on such a shaking vehicle, Zhang Tie didn’t miss a single shot.
Once the first shot deviated a bit, the next two shots would quickly correct.
“That bone definitely has a problem!”
Zhang Tie didn’t forget to say in between.
Li Tao adjusted his glasses, “But no matter what it’s contaminated with, that bone has to be brought back, the follower soldiers behind will buy us some time, send a signal to the helicopter, let the reinforcements pick us up.”
Zhang Min beside them relaxed a lot upon hearing this.
But still didn’t dare make a sound, if it were the Mo Jiang convoy, women might very well be thrown out to attract the mutated beasts.
Even the others would have to fend for themselves.
Several infantry transport vehicles behind suddenly swerved and stopped in place, forming a steel trench.
Soldiers rushed out of the car doors and began to block the beast horde.
Firepower nets intertwined, instantly suppressing the mutated beast horde, tier 1 mutated beasts hidden in the horde began assaulting from all directions, the firepower defense line started to become precarious.
When fear and blood spurted out simultaneously.
The defense line completely collapsed.
Front and back, it only bought four or fifty seconds.
But it was enough for the off-road vehicle in front to escape danger.
……
“How much mutated beast inducer is left?”
“Two drops.”
“Seal and store it properly.”
“By the way, how did you know they were going to ambush us?”
Yu Jing asked curiously.
Su Huan looked at her strangely, “I’m not a worm in their stomachs, how would I know, though I didn’t have any good intentions either.”
Everyone’s faces twitched at the same time.
Su Huan’s directness and frankness always caught them off guard.
Old San looked confused, had so many things happened?
“When did you drug them?”
Yu Jing pinched her chin, “It was when he said ‘teammate’, remember the interesting alias for the mutated beast inducer?”
“Damn teammates, one per person?”
Xiao Ba suddenly reacted.
“Yes, when has Su Huan ever called us teammates?”
He Jie looked at Su Huan, then at Yu Jing, somewhat tooth-aching, these people who played mind games were too scary.
Not knowing when they started setting traps for you.
“So what’s our situation then?”
Old San asked again.
“That you’ll have to ask Captain He.” Su Huan tossed the topic to him.
He Jie looked at the zombie horde surging out from the city, his complexion gloomy, “Zombie inducer, developed a while ago, can quickly attract zombies within a one-kilometer radius to gather, used for quickly clearing zombies, but looking at this scale, there should be a new breakthrough, I’m not sure about the exact attraction range.”
Su Huan’s face remained calm.
The armored train had completed the first phase, ordinary zombie tides were no longer a threat.
Unless it was a zombie tide composed entirely of tier 1 zombies, it might be possible to stop the steel giant dragon over eight thousand tons.
“Old San, prepare for gun practice, call that defender named Zhang Kai from the crew too, Yu Jing, bring me the gene potion.”
Su Huan instructed.
Old San immediately went to call people, shooting outward from the car window.
Zombies around gradually increased, charging at the train one after another, at this density, no worry about missing shots.
It was just that their shooting skills were really not flattering, watching made He Jie beside them frown, he sarcastically said, “Giving them guns is not as good as giving them fire pokers.”
Su Huan took the gene potion, glanced at him, “If you don’t like it, you can go up and instruct them.”
He Jie sneered, “Make me work before I’m even in?”
Su Huan didn’t respond, but that’s exactly what he thought.
Soldiers with professional training and ordinary firearm enthusiasts were fundamentally different.
Not to mention elites like He Jie.
Although he knew a bit about shooting, it was completely wild road among wild roads, so much so that he never instructed Yu Yue and them on shooting details, only some general basics.
Say too much and he couldn’t explain clearly.
And he planned to cultivate Old San and them towards firearm professions, so he could only urge them to practice more.
Anyway, they were defenders, with the existence of “combat factor”, muscles would comprehend the mysteries of battle before the brain.
The only drawback was wasting ammunition.
But now what he lacked least was ammunition.
Su Huan held the gene potion in front of Wan Xing, “See any differences?”
The brilliance in Wan Xing’s eyes instantly disappeared, like suddenly losing vitality, a puzzled light “eh” from her mouth.
“Very dense light spots, similar to general energy light spots, but different, they seem to be fighting… no, they should be moving in a regular pattern, a very wonderful rhythm.”
“Remember this feeling, this is normal skill potion.”
Pausing, Su Huan swapped to another reagent, “Defender Realm’s tier 1 ‘sharpshooter’, total two sub-skills, so inside here two are skill potions, one is ‘sniper specialization’, one is ‘ballistics calculation’, the other is a gene fusion potion, used to stimulate genes to achieve advancement effect.”
Yu Jing beside suddenly interjected, “Defender skills, can other realms use them too?”
“Of course, skills between realms can all be used, as long as they don’t conflict, for example defenders have a ‘touch enhancement’, and a ‘pain numbness’, if both abilities awaken at the same time, heh…”
By the end Su Huan couldn’t help laughing.
Last life there was a fool who thought he would have both keen touch and no pain, result he grew two layers of skin, outer layer dull sensation, inner layer painful.
As a result he felt nothing, if accidentally attacked, even stepped on toe, intense pain would make him cry like a wimp!
This was an example of evolution ruining.
Of course, he was still lucky, there were many with gene collapse directly mutating into zombies.
“So as long as the abilities don’t conflict?” Yu Jing furrowed her brows, “But how to ensure the evolved abilities don’t conflict?”
Su Huan’s expression was odd, “Abilities you normally evolve naturally won’t conflict, just like your left brain won’t think of evolving a fist to punch your right brain.”
“Just don’t randomly use skill potions, and using cross-realm skills has no benefits, skills you can’t use will not only take space but occupy your evolution potential, like that firepower specialist who evolved enhanced smell.”
“What truly distinguishes realms is your main skill, like my general energy conversion, your general energy erosion, these are unique traits of each realm…”
‘But not necessarily.’
At this point Su Huan paused, clearly thinking of something.
Last life he had evolved the defender’s “combat factor”, before he could get excited about becoming dual profession powerhouse, that bad thing happened later.
Didn’t know if this life he could still evolve the defender’s core skill.
A violent booming sound interrupted Su Huan’s contemplation.
Turns out a butcher raised an electric pole and smashed it hard on the moving train, result the train didn’t shake at all, the electric pole was bounced away.
The butcher looked at its torn-off hands, a trace of humanized daze on its fat face.
Angered, it clasped its arms, picked up a nearby skull crusher and charged at the train.
The held skull crusher wailed loudly, momentarily unsure whether to attack the train first or hit him first.
The frenzied train like a meat grinder quickly ground down the skull crusher and butcher, until their flesh and blood disintegrated, then they collapsed with a boom.
Su Huan came back to his senses, handed the skill potion representing “sniper specialization” to Yu Yue.
“Go back to the room first, absorb this.”
Yu Yue had seen the whole transaction process, she knew how precious this potion was.
She had thought this potion might be for her, but when Su Huan really gave it to her, she hesitated instead.
The two little Yu Yues started fighting in her mind again.
“Don’t! It’s just a little sweetener, would you give up your dignity for this?”
“Maybe you’re overthinking? The train conductor is just considering the team.”
“If you take this now, do you still have reason to resist next time he bullies you?”
“…But, but I couldn’t refuse anyway.”
“Pah, you’re cheap! You clearly want to give it to him!”
“N-no, it’s him insisting…”
Seeing Su Huan frown, Yu Jing knew her mother was entangled again, smoothly took it, then pulled the woman’s arm toward the carriage interior.
“You guys busy, I’ll watch her absorb it.”
Su Huan withdrew his gaze, handed the remaining two potions to Wan Xing, “Still early to absorb the next one, keep these two with you first.”
“Okay.”
Wan Xing took the potions and headed to carriage 3.
She spent most of her time except eating and sleeping with corpses.
If it were ordinary people they’d be suffocated, but she seemed quite at ease.
“Where to next?”
He Jie’s tone carried a hint of probing.
He feared Su Huan wouldn’t care for his wife and daughter, just drive away.
Su Huan looked at the vast zombie tide outside the car window, calmly said, “Where do you think the Steel Council least wants us to appear now?”
“Appear where, headquarters?” He Jie was puzzled for a moment.
Suddenly, a flash of insight in his mind, blurted out, “New City!”
