Armed Train in the Apocalypse

And that tall figure, handsome as a demon.

The Donghuang man they call the "Conductor."

With a cold gaze, as if looking at ants beneath his feet, a simple snap of his fingers turned the homeland into Purgatory.

Home, culture, compatriots connected by blood... everything was crushed and burned by that cold steel and scorching flame.

He was Chongying’s only hope now.

Before exacting revenge on that man, he absolutely could not fall.

A surge of scorching energy flowed within him, rejuvenating his previously barren body with new energy, stronger and more intense than before!

The Tier Three Barrier that had trapped him for so long finally loosened under this energy.

In the next moment, it abruptly shattered.

"Heh... Ten Thousand Slashes!"

Countless blade lights exploded with intensity, sweeping the branches of the locust tree, shredding them into pieces like a grinder.

The man let out a wild laugh, but he failed to notice his skin gradually turning black, even his head shrinking into his chest cavity.

In the mountain valley, Bao Qingqing and Deputy Xing, wearing special covert combat attire, stood up.

From the beginning, they hadn’t engaged in direct combat, instead cleverly remaining at the battlefield’s edge, using the terrain and chaos to conceal themselves.

"He’s evolved!"

Deputy Xing said excitedly.

"He’s going to die too."

Bao Qingqing’s cold voice dampened Deputy Xing’s enthusiasm slightly, then with a mocking tone, she continued, "That fool didn’t even think, if it were truly a good thing, how could it be his turn to use it."

"There’s still some time before the complete genetic collapse, we need to act. If we can’t find the Rule Stone in the Plant Zone, the mission will still fail."

With that said, Bao Qingqing smashed a reagent onto the stone, and the plants previously interested in the flesh and blood on the wall retreated instantly.

The two quietly headed back towards the original battlefield.

...

Due to his distracted mind, Su Huan didn’t notice the battle a hundred kilometers away.

At this moment, he was in the restaurant silently grappling with a three-kilogram steak, unconsciously using the knife tip to slice the beef along the grain into strips, then picking them up to eat.

He failed to notice that he was the only diner on the dining car tonight.

Yu Yue hadn’t touched the food in front of her.

Instead, she gazed at him with an affectionate and gentle look.

"When did this happen?"

"...Just heard about it these past couple of days."

Yu Yue said a bit nervously.

"Hmm." Su Huan nodded, expressionless, continuing to eat the beef, cutting it into even smaller pieces, as if wanting to separate each muscle strand.

Seeing he had no aversion, Yu Yue daringly asked, "Do you think it’s a boy or a girl?"

Su Huan paused, his palm silently resting on her abdomen, not feeling any exaggerated muscles, just a layer of soft fat.

Of course, when needed, this soft little belly could become an armor comparable to steel.

But inexplicably, Su Huan felt there was something inside connected to him.

Just like the kind of connection He Jie and others shared, which he found hard to understand.

"Not formed yet."

Su Huan wanted to withdraw his hand but was grabbed by Yu Yue, who embraced his arm closer.

She changed her question, "Then do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Su Huan showed a hint of confusion, does it make a difference?

The little chef began a counterattack, "Then what do you think it should be named?"

Su Huan’s mind went blank, throwing the question back, "What do you think?"

"If it’s a boy, call him Su Yi, Yi as in ’A man should aim high’; if it’s a girl, call her Su Jie, Jie as in ’Holding honor, when will Feng Tang be dispatched.’" Yu Yue revealed the two names she had pondered for a long time.

Su Huan blinked, "Why?"

"My personality is too weak, I hope my child can be more resilient, to courageously resist when bullied."

Yu Yue raised her fingers while speaking.

Su Huan stopped the beef continuously heading to his mouth, instead offering it to Yu Yue, half smiling, "Are you saying I bully you?"

Feeling the warm knife tip at her mouth, Yu Yue instinctively wanted to surrender, but suddenly realized something was wrong, stubbornly biting the beef, chewing like a hamster, the courage she had painstakingly built up dissipated entirely in the chewing process.

Then, under Su Huan’s gaze, she surrendered, "...Not really bullying, just."

"Su Yi sounds good."

Su Huan’s voice carried a subtle warmth.

...

’Su Yi’ ’Su Jie’

The two names lingered in the Conductor’s mind half the night, growing more fond with each repetition.

Like a child receiving a gift, reluctant to sleep, while the woman beside him had quietly entered dreamland.

Looking at Yu Yue’s pretty face, Su Huan instinctively associated it with a similar-looking face, though that face was far less gentle than Yu Yue’s, with a sort of inherent indifference.

With that thought, Su Huan frowned slightly, silently leaving the room, heading towards the rear Cultivation Pod.

Even at late night, the Cultivation Pod was still bustling, though everyone was cautious to lower their steps, reducing noise as much as possible, merely continuing a habit of respecting the night.

Not wanting to disturb anyone, Su Huan slipped in from the train roof.

Compared to the previous chaos in the front carriages, the new Mechanical Testing Laboratory suddenly seemed much tidier.

Various models of Power Armor were neatly hung in the air, below were large operation platforms, with cabinets filled with various components and standard materials on the sides.

But this was merely the surface; at the rear of the laboratory was a dark room used for storing Yu Jing’s puppets and some less reputable items.

Su Huan had tacitly approved this; otherwise, on the train, not even a hidden compartment, let alone a dark room, could be built.

Hydraulic doors opened, Su Huan stepped inside.

Yu Jing was indeed inside, not experimenting for once, but sipping red wine alone.

A faint flush adorned her fair face, making her figure seem even more delicate.

"Would you like a drink? Director Xu spiked it, effective even on Evolvers."

Yu Jing raised her wine glass in invitation.

"What have you been working on lately?"

Su Huan cut straight to the point.

Yu Jing sighed, "Transformation, flesh and blood direction transformation."

Su Huan’s gaze turned more hostile, within a few steps he was already in front of the woman, looking down, "Who will it be used on?"

Yu Jing didn’t respond, instead downed the wine in her glass and leaned over.

Su Huan didn’t refuse, whatever was added to the wine had no effect on him.

The cool wine flowed down his throat into his stomach, a spreading heat ensued, but that’s about it; the energy within the heat was not even a thousandth of his flesh and blood.

"You’ll probably like this transformation."

Her loose clothes fell to the ground.

...

An hour later, Su Huan looked down at the woman in his arms, rolling his tongue over his upper teeth; if it were before, he’d make Yu Jing regret coming into this world.

But whether it was the recent deaths, or the unborn child softening him, he actually believed this woman’s crafty words.

"Just once?"

"Only modified the Purple Palace, everything else is original."

Yu Jing’s voice carried a hint of fatigue.

The gap between Tier Four and Tier Two was simply too vast, even modified, she was no match.

Luckily, she didn’t need to be his equal.

"This is a dead-end road."

Su Huan quite liked this transformation but still uttered a pointless phrase.

He knew the truth might be far beyond this, but he couldn’t investigate further.

The greatest punishment he could offer Yu Jing was death, but she wouldn’t care, or perhaps her current stance was merely a display for him to see.

She was completely indifferent.

Yu Jing lazily placed her sharp chin on the man’s chest, gazing at him with a sudden smile.

"You’ve softened."
