Chapter 208: On! Ability Usage Scenarios!
A thirty-year-old woman’s temperament and charm both reach their peak.
But the body has already started to go downhill.
However, evolution extends the peak period of human physical fitness, not just recovery; with evolution, physique surges dramatically, every muscle in the body becomes tighter, more flexible, and more explosive.
If someone like Yu Yue has a younger mentality, Su Huan can’t tell her exact age at all.
Su Huan didn’t go too far, after all, he doesn’t like locking doors, the two went up to the second floor.
……
() The width is just right for hands to grip, the indented waist dimples on both sides hold half a ladle of light, swaying out honey-colored liquid with the bending motion.
This dent where the lower back connects to the hip peak is more provocative than any sweet talk.
Shu Wei is different from Yu Yue, the latter is gentler and more attached.
Whether in personality or body, she is like a stress ball, Su Huan enjoys pinching her flat and watching her slowly bounce back.
Obedient yet resilient.
While Shu Wei seems to be holding on strong, her expression is always cold and icy.
Her body carries a faint scent of cedar and bitter orange, cold to the point of being medicinal, but when body temperature rises, the scent warms into an amber base note.
Making the malice in the Train Conductor’s heart burn even stronger.
Where there is resistance, there is more brutal suppression.
Both are Evolvers, no need to worry about training intensity.
The two engage in a brutal fight, muscle lines wrapped in skin oil smooth like melted chocolate, pores opening, surging heat pouring out, turning into wisps of steam that blur their faces.
“Dong dong—”
A knock suddenly sounds outside the door.
Su Huan frowns, “Who is it?”
Yu Yue’s gentle voice comes from outside the door, “Lunch is ready, and I’ll clean the room while I’m at it.”
“Hiss…”
Played too enthusiastically, the Train Conductor forgot about this.
Shu Wei keenly notices Su Huan’s change, the woman outside the door seems important to him, her gray-blue eyes show some contemplation, she stands up, waves her hand, and an invisible fluctuation sweeps by.
The doorway carriage is wrapped in a vacuum area.
“Should I hide?”
The woman’s voice is slightly hoarse, she lowers her head slightly, asking respectfully.
Just like a secretary having an affair with the Boss, without any of the previous arrogance and hostility.
The Train Conductor feels a sudden irritation, “My turf, why hide?”
A flash of electric light sweeps by, violent energy disperses the vacuum area, the room door swings wide open.
Yu Yue walks in, due to the angle, she can only see Su Huan’s properly dressed upper body on the second floor.
She glances at the exoskeleton standing on the first floor and the combat suit piled nearby, confusion flashing in her eyes.
“Where’s that person?”
“Not behaving, under interrogation.”
“I’ll just do a quick clean.”
“Hold a meeting tonight, gather everyone, we’ll have braised dishes for dinner.”
Su Huan looks at the electric sparks dancing on his fingertips, a dangerous thought suddenly jumps into his mind, he overlooks Yu Yue busy on the first floor, his hand landing on Shu Wei’s raven-black updo.
He really likes this updo style, neat and crisp, with a sharp edge.
Shu Wei feels the pencil in her hair being pulled out, her hair falls loose, her heart suddenly panics.
That woman is still downstairs, he won’t…
Before she can react, the pencil is already pressed against her teeth.
‘…What a thorough bastard.’
Shu Wei silently bites the pencil, her silver teeth clenching too hard, the taste of wood shavings filling her mouth.
The Train Conductor behind her becomes even more brazen, she still has to use her ability to seal her surroundings to avoid detection from downstairs.
Suddenly, Shu Wei’s body trembles, fear flashing in her eyes.
Yu Yue only cleans for ten minutes, but for Shu Wei, it’s like hell.
When the door closes, she collapses on the floor, gasping for fresh air.
Su Huan licks his lips lingeringly, his fingertips crackling.
“Constitution average, energy resistance a bit weak, but time is long, I’ll train you more.”
Shu Wei takes half a day to sit up from the floor, her complexion pale, almost gritting her teeth word by word, “Thank you for your guidance, Train Conductor.”
“You’re welcome.” Su Huan smiles, brushes aside the woman’s long hair, seeing fear in her eyes along with a trace of cold contempt.
Clearly, this level of physical punishment can’t make her submit.
But what the Train Conductor wants has never been the result.
Blue light flashes, the woman’s muscles spasm violently,
Her fair complexion turning iron-blue.
Held up by Su Huan’s palm or she would have fallen.
“I told you, don’t show that look, or I’ll crush you.”
Su Huan releases her chin, pulls apart her clenched hands, prying her fingers open one by one, the woman’s hands full of delicate beauty, just marred by red marks in her palms.
The Train Conductor says softly, “Don’t leave such ugly marks on your body next time, or I’ll kill you.”
Shu Wei looks at the serious yet pitying look in the man’s eyes, despair rising uncontrollably in her heart.
“Does the Train Conductor always speak so nicely?”
“You want to ask if I talk to others like this too.”
Su Huan stares into Shu Wei’s eyes, malicious amusement nearly spilling from them, “They get scolded for doing poorly, but you might die for it.”
Coming all this way to capture him for experiments, thinking the Train Conductor’s belly can hold a boat?
Can’t beat him and now seek reconciliation, about to die and now surrender.
Thinking her own value lets her do as she pleases?
What are you thinking…
If not boiled down to bone and oil, she won’t know how to write “Train Conductor.”
Shu Wei breathes a sigh of relief, somewhat grasping the boundaries.
If punishment is unpredictable, authority is immeasurable.
As long as there are rules, there’s room to maneuver.
“Isn’t the Train Conductor curious why Deep Blue Data and Black Kite knew about the apocalypse so far in advance?” Sensing Su Huan’s hands getting out of control, Shu Wei quickly says.
“You know?”
Su Huan is slightly surprised.
He never expected to get such key information from Shu Wei.
So he focused on tormenting and forgot to ask.
The two sit facing each other intimately on the floor, Su Huan’s hands around her solid waist.
“Not clear on details, but the day they took my father away, it was a military vehicle.”
Though he had guesses, confirmation still gives Su Huan a sense of absurdity.
Such key information about the apocalypse, the organization didn’t tell anyone, keeping billions of people in the dark, but told some private companies.
Immediately followed by inexplicable anger.
Then what are they?
Social surplus?
Trash to highlight the superiority of the top tier?
A deep, cold aura spreads through the room, Shu Wei’s fine hair stands on end.
Su Huan calmly says, “Continue.”
“After returning, he kept silent, wouldn’t answer any questions, then did some things that seemed strange at the time, I cared at first, but years later, I forgot about it.”
“How many years specifically.”
“It was my birthday then, I remember clearly, 2030, later I learned they were preparing for the apocalypse all along, but back then I didn’t want to see him, so I didn’t know much.”
“Say something about Black Kite.”
“Black Kite’s full name is Strategic Biological Defense and Abnormal Evolution Research Institute, abbreviated as Black Kite Biological Laboratory, it’s a force composed of the laboratory and some private enterprises, the laboratory is its core, also with administrative and special operations departments, the three collectively called the three major authority departments, plus some minor departments that can basically be ignored, our tactical team is part of the Special Services Department…”
“Distinguishing rank is simple, look at the iris brooch material, lowest level has no brooch, then bronze iris, silver iris, golden iris, dark gold iris, and the top-tier black iris.”
“Like my mother is golden iris, equivalent to high-ranking department personnel, directors are dark gold iris, the top-tier black iris there’s only one…”
“Chairman?” Su Huan suddenly says.
The woman shakes her head calmly, “Probably that bitch told you, that’s just their low-level guess, actually Black Kite is the lab’s helmsman, also one of the true decision-makers of the entire Black Kite.”
The woman’s touch is nice, though not as plump and soft as Yu Yue, her flesh and bone are well-proportioned, every part full and elastic.
But their intimate actions carry no ambiguous atmosphere.
Shu Wei keeps talking, Su Huan listens silently, cross-referencing with information from Su Leiya.
“So, Black Kite or company helmsmen of higher rank than Black Kite would know some world secrets, right?”
Su Huan asks suddenly.
Shu Wei ponders a moment, “Black Kite is already a top-tier force, as far as I know, smaller forces like Steel Council are the minority, domestic and foreign giants that knew about the apocalypse are all mega-enterprises, as for why these enterprises, I don’t know…”
“The military?”
“Military information is tightly sealed, what can be confirmed is there were mobilizations very early, but targets unknown, scale unknown.”
Su Huan sighs inwardly, though he seems to have learned a lot, key information is still hidden, to truly understand the apocalypse truth, he still needs to head further north.
If at first it was fear of Heavenly Calamity driving him north.
Now it’s a stubborn “I must see the truth” no matter how they block.
No grand principles, no heroism, Su Huan just wants to see what these damn bastards are plotting.
If it doesn’t suit him.
Then smash them all to pieces!
……
Outside the window, the sky gradually darkens, water waves slap the car body, emitting rhythmic roar.
Fortunately, soundproofing is good, not noisy inside the carriage.
Interrogated half the day, Su Huan missed lunch, but ate his fill of pears, not hungry even now.
Pants up and out the door.
Shu Wei follows closely behind him, wearing Su Huan’s changed men’s clothes.
Black long-sleeve shirt, wide-leg casual pants, paired with raven long hair, making her complexion even paler.
At first glance, she resembles Su Huan ahead by four or five points.
Only Su Huan always has some unruly lines, disrupting that harmonious temperament, giving a wild, unrestrained madness.
Old San, standing in the dining car corridor smoking, sees them emerge from the same door, freezes in place.
Su Huan’s narrow eye corner glances over, snatches his cigarette, then “bang” punches his increasingly thick chest, warning at his grimacing face, “Dock you a month’s salary, tell Hu Shuo yourself.”
Old San realizes, looks at the extinguished cigarette in his hand, thinks of no supply for the next month, instantly pained,
Hurriedly says, “Convoy Leader, I have something to report, we have an insider traitor on our train!”
Su Huan, walking, frowns.
What’s up with Tong Zizhan and those two, how did Old San spot them?
He’s delayed for days, but this fool still cornered him, no dragging this time.
“Don’t howl there, call everyone over for dinner.”
Old San’s expression turns serious, if Train Conductor says meeting, not a big deal, but if dinner, it’s usually matters of life and death for the armored train.
Dining car interior fully renovated, even more luxurious.
The only constant is the bustling Yu Yue, busy with a big pot of braised stew.
Hearing Su Huan’s footsteps, she mutters, “I braised chicken feet, pig trotters, dried tofu, kelp knots, edamame, duck necks, chicken gizzards… You don’t like stuff that’s troublesome to eat, so I added some chicken drumsticks, mid-wings, and ribs.”
Shu Wei is hit by the heat in the dining car, looks at Yu Yue in the mist, stands silently at the dining car doorway.
Su Huan goes straight to his exclusive Orange Cat Sofa.
Yu Yue looks up, sees bewildered Shu Wei, suddenly thinks of her own first time on the train, though puzzled by her wearing Su Huan’s clothes, soon overtaken by pity.
Sets down the spatula, steps forward to take Shu Wei’s hand, “Wash your hands and eat, can you eat spicy?”
Shu Wei blanks for a moment looking at the gentle woman before her.
Though Yu Yue might be one or two years younger, in Yu Yue she sees a bit of her mother’s shadow, back then her mother was exquisite and beautiful, eyes always with bright smiles.
But that was many years ago.
“A little.”
“Main food? Rice, steamed bun, or coarse grains? I steamed some corn flour nest today too…”
Under Yu Yue’s chatter, Shu Wei’s polite smile finally softens.
Hesitation in her eyes.
“What’s a nest? Is it sweet?”
“It’s sweet.”
Yu Yue hands Shu Wei a light yellow nest, watches her tentatively nibble.
Glances sideways at silent Su Huan on the sofa, her round almond eyes narrow into smiling slits, sharp as blades.
(Updates slow lately, A Qian deeply reflects, initial ideas for the book mostly used up, looking at outline unsure what to write specifically, lately bingeing anime, dramas, books to gain experience, any ideas written in, not slacking, no worries about eunuch, outline complete, just follow to finish, including pits like military, Heavenly Calamity, enterprise leads etc. all have reasonable explanations.)
