Chapter 50: When Ruthless, Even Exploit Yourself
There were still sounds of people walking and talking outside the train, but the atmosphere inside the carriage fell into a strange silence,
Even if the three brothers were that foolish, seeing Su Huan sitting there like he was at his own home, they knew what was going on.
“You were tricked, Old San!”
“He’s the train conductor!”
Old Da and Old Er shouted from left and right, while nervously gripping the guns in their hands tightly.
“Shut up, you two don’t talk nonsense! I know!”
Old San roared back irritably, but his pair of eyes were fixed dead on Su Huan.
What kind of look was that? It was probably the kind when you discover your brother secretly passed both the civil service and graduate exams, and was kept by a fat woman, achieving success in both career and love—complex and shocked.
Hard to believe, angry at his lack of ambition, hate! Unable to take his place!
Seeing Old San’s such rich expression, Su Huan rarely felt a bit guilty, worried they might do something impulsive. Two faint currents passed out along the iron pieces on the shoe sole, through the carriage metal, conducting to Old Da and Old Er.
The two only felt their hands and feet go numb, and the submachine guns dropped down.
Su Huan stood up, opened his arms in a friendly gesture, and smiled, “I’m afraid you two would keep holding the guns nervously and fire accidentally.”
Old San looked at him deeply, “So you already had the ability to take us down long ago, why put on an act?”
‘Of course it’s because I couldn’t bear to part with those three fire trucks.’
After all, no matter how awesome he was, he couldn’t drive three vehicles alone. What if something unexpected happened on the road if he went hard?
He hated troubles outside the plan the most.
But his voice suddenly sank, “You say I put on an act, meaning I’m deceiving you?”
“Nonsense, every word you said was fake!”
Su Huan narrowed his eyes, “Hmm? Which words?”
“You said the train conductor exploited the passengers!”
“Didn’t you see it yourself? Didn’t the train conductor exploit the passengers?”
Old San choked, feeling something off.
Old Da and Old Er added from the side, “You also said the train conductor took six or seven people and occupied the train!”
Su Huan pointed to Liang Kuan behind him, Xiao Ba sitting in the wheelchair, Yu Yue beside him… and finally pointed back at himself, his eyes clear, “Plus two you’ve seen, isn’t that exactly six people?”
“You also said the train conductor robbed a sweet and moist little wife!”
Su Huan glanced at Yu Yue whose pretty face was slightly red, and nodded, “Indeed very sweet, no mistake.”
Old San stopped his brothers who wanted to speak more, and said gloomily, “But you didn’t say you were the train conductor, you said the train conductor exploited yours.”
“Yes, that’s right. When I’m ruthless, I even exploit myself.”
Su Huan said righteously.
‘What a… bastard.’
Yu Yue beside him couldn’t help but turn her head away, afraid she’d laugh out loud in this tense situation.
Old San frowned, carefully trying to find flaws in Su Huan’s words, but suddenly realized that as long as he was shameless enough to own all those words he used to curse himself earlier, this explanation seemed to have no problem.
Su Huan said warmly, “Old San, forget those for now. What did we get on the train for?”
Old Da’s eyes widened, “Take down the train conductor! Rob the train!”
Even Liang Kuan couldn’t stand watching, he lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. With this foolish look, still thinking of robbing the train?
They’d count the money for Su Huan after he sold them.
And he felt this scene would soon be seen.
Su Huan agreed, “Right! Take down the train conductor, rob the train. But now the problem is, no need to take down the train conductor, and we’ve robbed the train. Does that count as achieving the goal?”
As he spoke, his hands rested on the two’s shoulders, his tone sincere, “Old San, think about it carefully. Suppose the train conductor is an outsider, if we take him down, wouldn’t we still need to pick someone to be the train conductor? Now no need to take down this train conductor, your Fourth Brother I have sat in the train conductor seat. Hasn’t that achieved our goal for this trip?”
Then he turned his gaze to the young man and Huang Hai beside them, “What I said makes sense, right?”
“Makes sense, makes sense, too much sense!”
Huang Hai nodded repeatedly with a fawning smile, the glasses on his face shaking twice.
Although the situation had some subtle changes, the one in charge was always this handsome young man. Old Huang saw it very clearly.
Old San’s complexion flickered uncertainly. Makes sense?
Makes shit sense. He recognized every word Su Huan said, but every word sounded off!
So what could he do?
Pick up the gun and fight him?
Not to mention he’d already spilled all his little thoughts to the other party, just based on how the guy sat there without moving a finger and disarmed them with some magical means, what did he have to fight him with?
Unsure what Su Huan wanted, Old San simply said straightforwardly, “Brothers aren’t the sharpest, just say straight what you want.”
Su Huan restrained his smile and said seriously, “Of course it’s to bring the brothers on board, ah no, on the train!”
The three brothers looked at each other, and Old Da and Old Er habitually tossed the decision to Old San again.
“What status do we have after getting on the train?”
Old San stared into Su Huan’s eyes and asked.
“I won’t promise too much. On the train, as long as you follow me and work well, at least you won’t starve.”
Su Huan didn’t make big promises. He did want to recruit these three brothers. Though a bit foolish, they weren’t bad at heart.
Old San didn’t look at Su Huan this time, but observed the expressions of Liang Kuan, Qi Xiao Ba, and the others.
Seeing them calm and composed, he then looked at Su Huan, his tone with a hint of hesitation, “Then do I have to call you Old Da from now on?”
Su Huan chuckled helplessly, “You can still call me Fourth Brother.”
“Where’s there an Old San calling an Old Four Brother? Better call you Train Conductor. I’ll trust you one more time. You can’t trick us brothers again.”
Old San said meaningfully.
Su Huan said solemnly, “It’s us brothers!”
Suddenly, Yu Yue’s complexion changed beside him, and she blurted out, “A zombie tide is coming!”
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Except for Xiao Ba and Liang Kuan who immediately turned their gazes to Su Huan, the others were a bit confused.
At this time, urgent footsteps came from the carriage. Yu Jing rushed in, “The perimeter guards say a zombie tide is coming!”
Su Huan glanced at the young man and Huang Hai who hadn’t had time to ask more, frowned and said, “What’s the progress of today’s armored train?”
“Two hydrogen-powered trains have been armored and steel plates attached.”
“Carriage sequence scheduling status?”
Liang Kuan said dully, “The front ones are already connected in order. The back still has four hydrogen-powered trains, two luggage carriages, and two carriages dirtied by zombies not connected.”
“How long to connect everything?”
“Twenty minutes.”
“If we abandon the two green-skinned carriages?”
“Fifteen minutes.”
Time was tight. Su Huan pondered for a moment and immediately gave the order, “Put the two green-skinned carriages at the end. If no time, abandon them directly. Prioritize connecting the luggage carriages and hydrogen-powered trains.”
“Understood!”
