Chapter 85: You Think I Can’t Imagine That?
The tall tires braked to a stop in front of a low bungalow, kicking up a ring of murky water waves.
A tactical boot stepped on the ground, and a tall figure got down from the SUV behind, with a small bag tied around the waist, holding a metal shield in hand, striding toward the off-road vehicle, guarding beside the passenger seat.
Behind them, figures in black raincoats got down one by one from the three red fire trucks, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Especially those faint roars made people feel trepidation.
However, after passing through several buildings, they didn’t see any zombies that refreshed randomly like NPCs. The courtyard was clean as if no one had ever lived there, the buildings intact, with no signs of violent break-ins on the doors and windows.
Old San obsequiously got down from the driver’s cabin of the off-road vehicle and ran to the side to open the car door for Su Huan.
Su Huan frowned and looked down at his feet. The rainwater accumulated on the cement ground washed over the two men’s boots, at least an inch thick.
“Something followed us, very fast.”
Yu Yue from the back seat reminded.
Su Huan nodded, “Call Lu Xiao and Jiang Rong over.”
Soon, the two were called to the front of the vehicle. Bean-sized raindrops shattered against the car door, and even Su Huan’s figure in the passenger seat was somewhat blurred.
“What are we collecting this time?” Lu Xiao asked.
“Collecting?” Su Huan raised his eyebrow in surprise and pointed to a Night Demon crouching on the building behind, “That’s your task.”
“You are a tactical squad, not workers collecting supplies. For the next hour, your task is to guard this courtyard and not let any threatening things step in.”
Lu Xiao saw that Tier 1 Night Demon, and his complexion turned a bit ugly.
He didn’t expect the first mandatory task to face that kind of big guy.
Relying on a group of ordinary people and a few clubs and knives, who knows how many people would die to take down that thing.
This was asking him to fight desperately!
“Catch.”
While he was lost in wild thoughts, Su Huan threw something to him from inside the vehicle.
He caught it reflexively, and the solid metal feel made his heart skip a beat.
This touch—
Enforcer-S1 tactical handgun.
Although the logo on it had been ground off, the gun body had no modifications, so he recognized it at a glance.
Glancing slightly at the side, Jiang Rong also had one in her hand, and it looked even newer than his.
Feeling the heavy sense of security in his palm, Lu Xiao was somewhat surprised.
What was going on? Had the Train Conductor changed his nature today?
“The gun counts as an advance reward for this mandatory task, but the 15 rounds of 9mm bullets inside don’t. Those will be charged at double rate, so don’t die too many people, or the Train Conductor will feel heartbroken… about the supplies spent on you.”
Su Huan still spoke in his sarcastic cold tone.
But for some reason, it sounded much more pleasant to the two’s ears.
Jiang Rong was probably touching a gun for the first time. She silently watched Lu Xiao next to her check the firearm, and although her imitation was not very skilled, she clearly knew how to operate it.
After all, it was an enforcer’s firearm; solid and reliable was the main feature.
Watching the two departing backs, Su Huan touched his chin.
These two tactical handguns had almost no use on the train; exchanging them for two evolvers to fight for him was absolutely a huge profit.
Most importantly, right in front of him was a whole armory.
Compared to the armory, two handguns were nothing.
Lu Xiao, who had left, returned.
“For not treating us as cannon fodder, here’s a heads-up: that group is very likely heading for the train, or ambushing us halfway.”
Facing Lu Xiao’s such kind reminder, Su Huan felt like the conscience he had gnawed off was about to jump out from his stomach.
But regarding his suggestion, Su Huan asked back with a strange complexion, “Why do you think I wouldn’t think of this problem?”
……
Outside the armored train, shortly after Su Huan left, three modified off-road vehicles sped over and stopped at a hundred meters away.
Obviously, even a modified off-road vehicle couldn’t withstand flying down from a height of over ten meters.
He Jie was shirtless, sitting boldly in the passenger seat, his face gloomy as he looked at the armored train crouching ahead in the rain curtain.
The medic behind him was bandaging the gash on his shoulder.
In the first task, they lost two elites in one encounter.
Respectively, the passenger seat medic Greyhound, and the Demolition Man Lei Gou.
These weren’t ordinary soldiers, but evolvers trained for two years, already able to proficiently use abilities in coordinated combat.
Officer seeds for the company’s future transformation!
Two died directly in this damn place.
If it weren’t for the three squads behind arriving quickly, he would have been smashed to death on the spot by that butcher!
But even so, he still held a sliver of hope in his heart.
As long as he could complete the armory task, the company would only turn a blind eye.
But the moment he saw where the armored train was parked, he knew clearly that the worst situation had come to him—the other side was also coming for the armory!
If he lost the armory too, not only him, but the director behind would also face company reprimand.
He Jie now was like a gambler who had put all his assets on the gambling table, only able to choose to fight hard to the end.
Taking a deep breath, He Jie gave a hand signal to the off-road vehicle on the side.
‘You seize the train, the rest continue the task!’
The three off-road vehicles began to split; two headed toward the armory, one toward the armored train.
Carriage 3.
Xiao Ba slowly opened his eyes, the metallic color in them thick and inseparable.
“General Energy Crystal absorbed, want another one?”
Wan Xing beside him squatted next to a Tier 1 Terror Wolf corpse, her eyes dull and lifeless, the transparent crystal in her hand gradually forming.
Now, decomposition and collection were like instinct to her.
She could even do it while eating.
Xiao Ba shook his head, “Su has already given me enough crystals to rise to lv3 Metal Control. I just absorbed the second one, and I still have no clue about the new skill.”
“No need to rush too much. Su Huan said that without professional equipment and training methods, some skills can’t be awakened spontaneously. Wait until I save up more basic materials and cultivate an apothecary.”
Wan Xing said calmly.
The General Energy Crystal in her hand finally reached normal size, a ring of aesthetic cracks forming around the crystal.
Xiao Ba pursed his lips, “We can’t rely on Su for everything.”
“No wonder that guy confidently left you here. High awareness, youth.” A tall figure walked over from the other side of the corridor.
Holding an Iron Curtain-A3 in hand.
“Sister Yu Jing.”
Yu Jing waved her hand, “Su Huan said that when he’s not here, I’m in charge of production matters on the train, but combat command is yours. You can issue orders now.
