Chapter 32: White Snake Mo Jiang
Meanwhile, on the other side, the instigator had already put away his handgun.
Returning to the dining car, Su Huan first tore off the sticky T-shirt on his body, grabbed the deodorant and sprayed it haphazardly on himself twice, then tossed it to Yu Jing nearby.
“All of you take the deodorant and spray it over every car window, door, and any possible gaps in the train.”
A trace of doubt flashed in Yu Jing’s eyes. “Only the carriages in front of us? What about the back?”
“Take a box of deodorant over there, give it to Wang He. Right, have your mom go to the second floor of the sightseeing carriage to keep watch.”
Su Huan narrowed his eyes and said.
Soon, aside from the driving Liang Kuan and Xiao Ba, the three women all got moving.
Busy spraying deodorant in each carriage.
One minute later, the car lights turned off, and the beast roars outside the car became increasingly terrifying.
Su Huan planned to go up to the second floor to take a look. As soon as he went up, he saw a figure standing there, holding deodorant in hand, with a sense of helpless bewilderment.
Getting closer, smelling the faint scent of sugar-fried chestnuts on Yu Yue’s body, Su Huan felt some doubt. “Did you notice anything?”
The woman’s complexion was very pale, illuminated by the moonlight outside the window, carrying a touch of tragic beauty.
Yu Yue’s plump lips trembled. “I… heard a lot of terrifying sounds.”
Su Huan suddenly understood. He had long grown accustomed to this oppressive feeling. Even facing mutated beasts head-on, he had experienced it many times in his previous life, and as the train moved away, that instinctive throbbing in his heart was gradually weakening.
As for those sounds, to him they were just a jumble of noise, nothing terrifying about them.
But for Yu Yue, who could control sound waves, facing those sounds might create an illusion of them being right at her doorstep.
Su Huan took the deodorant from her hand, his voice calm and soothing. “What did you hear?”
The young man was shirtless, his lean muscular body glistening with sweat, the hot hormonal aura hitting her face, making her slightly distracted.
Hearing his question, Yu Yue instinctively recalled those sounds, her eyes becoming terrified again. “I heard the sounds of arthropods crawling, bones breaking, flesh and blood being torn, and water waves, as if some terrifying thing was climbing onto the shore…”
Her trembling ear tips were suddenly enveloped by a warm palm, and Yu Yue froze in place.
“Remember, those things are very far from you, and you’re in a safe train. The train under your feet is still moving, and those dangers will only get farther and farther away from you.”
Su Huan slightly lifted his palm, letting his steady and clear voice reach Yu Yue’s ear.
Yu Yue looked at the young man before her. His face was still cold, his voice faint, but she felt he had softened a lot.
At least that’s how she felt now.
Su Huan’s hands blocked out those terrifying sounds, and she was also influenced by his calm state.
Only then did she suddenly realize she had almost been pulled into his embrace.
Large patches of blush quickly appeared on her skin, and she stood frozen, at a loss.
“I’ll slowly lift my hands. Don’t pick up sounds from too far away, try to restrain the dispersion of your energy, and don’t listen instinctively.”
Su Huan lifted his hands, naturally placing them on her shoulders.
The woman’s figure after evolution was even more voluptuous and toned, though most of the time it was hidden under loose clothes.
Just placing them there, even through the clothes, he could feel the delicate skin and the warm, slender collarbone.
At this moment, she was hanging her head before him, the fine hairs on her nape trembling lightly in the air conditioner wind, like some bird waiting to have its feathers smoothed.
“M-Much better.”
Realizing she was being held and comforted by a young man about the same age as her daughter, Yu Yue felt a surge of shame and didn’t dare look into his eyes.
Feeling that she wasn’t so tense anymore, Su Huan finally relaxed a bit inside.
Evolvers weren’t that stable. Each evolution was like compressing hundreds of thousands of years of iteration into an instant, like stacking a pyramid—no one knew if the next one would collapse.
And stable emotions also played a part.
Feeling the hands on her shoulders lift away, Yu Yue felt a sudden emptiness in her heart.
She carefully raised her head and found Su Huan’s gaze fixed behind her, instinctively wanting to look along his line of sight.
But he suddenly pinched the soft flesh at her waist and hips, pulling her back into his embrace with such force that it nearly squeezed two tears from her eyes.
“Don’t look back!”
Su Huan’s voice was terribly grave.
The next moment, she also sensed the gaze of that terrifying presence, her body stiffening in place.
Strictly following Su Huan’s earlier advice, she limited her ability’s range to an extremely narrow scope.
“Thump thump…”
Feeling the tight skin and powerful heartbeat pressed against her, she finally calmed down and asked softly, “What is it?”
Su Huan’s palm tightly held the curve at the dent of her lower back, his voice low. “It’s a… white mutated beast, very large in size.”
“A… snake?”
“Yeah.”
Su Huan swallowed, staring intently at the scene before him.
Under the clear moonlight, a pure white giant snake coiled and wound atop the water tower, its snake head half a story high reared up in mid-air, its cold blue vertical pupils slowly contracting as they locked onto the train’s direction of travel.
Its steel-whip-like tail unconsciously slapped the tower body, shaking off large chunks of cement debris.
As the train moved on, that icy ghostly light grew farther and farther away, and Su Huan’s tense muscles finally relaxed.
It seemed his previous life’s experience still worked in the early apocalypse.
Mutated beasts wouldn’t leave their territory too far to chase prey into the city or zombie hordes.
However, the appearance of the White Snake still made him uneasy.
In his previous life, he had heard of this snake’s reputation.
Because it came from Mo Jiang, survivors also called it “Mo Jiang” or “White Snake Mo Jiang.”
This snake was discovered when it ate a Tier 4 zombie in the third year of the apocalypse. He never expected an inducer to draw it out.
This was something Su Huan had never anticipated.
After all, Mo Jiang spanned three provinces—who knew it was right on the edge of Mo Jiang City.
Good thing he ran fast.
The woman in his arms let out a slight pained whimper.
Su Huan snapped back to reality, suddenly remembering something, and quickly let go, looking down.
A large bruise had already formed on the woman’s plump waist and hips from his grip.
The aunt pouted slightly in grievance, her eyes misty.
Su Huan felt a bit awkward, but he couldn’t bring himself to apologize. He tugged at the woman’s jeans, startling Yu Yue into clutching her pants tightly, her eyes full of panic.
But Su Huan didn’t do anything else, just exposing the bruised skin.
He shook his palm, then covered the surface.
The cool sensation made Yu Yue let out a surprised sound. Those two shakes definitely couldn’t cool it that fast.
Not to mention the carriage wasn’t cold.
It was always maintained around seventy-three degrees.
