Armed Train in the Apocalypse

The dense fog surged, and the jungle seemed to be rising, revealing its ferocity to the outsiders.

Lin Jin’s gaze turned slightly cold as he squeezed his knuckles, ready to take action, but Yu Yue by his side pushed him down, hinting with a nod towards Su Huan, who was sitting in the tree, signaling him not to be impulsive.

"...They start calling out to their loved ones, and those who heed the call will merge into the jungle."

Su Huan broke off a willow branch, watching the green sap ooze out, and said coolly, "Is this why they cover their ears in fear?"

"This call can be resisted with some attention, but the truly irresistible thing is deep within this jungle."

Uncle Xiaoya’s voice carried a trace of fear.

"Even if they become vegetative, people still disappear from time to time, as if swallowed by the jungle, and without any warning."

The entire jungle pressed in unknowingly, almost covering the rooftop beneath their feet.

"Your presence attracts this jungle; staying too long may provoke unknown risks. I know you’re strong, but no outsider can withstand the entire jungle..."

Su Huan impatiently lifted his eyelids, revealing a hint of breath.

The jungle within three kilometers appeared as if swept by a strong wind; plants bent backward layer by layer, even the dense fog scattered frantically.

The willow tree witnessing this scene abruptly stopped its admonitions.

He felt an illusion; in front of this man, the terrifying and eerie jungle appeared to be the weaker side.

"Perhaps they were hunted by carnivorous mutant plants."

Su Huan continued.

He had already mastered controlling his breath; though the scene was immense, it hadn’t even startled Xiaoya beneath.

Uncle Xiaoya spoke again.

"We checked all the surrounding plants; they were familiar to us, and those who turned into plants also instinctively guarded the camp. Plus, our collection zone isn’t far; if there were Evolution Beasts, there’d be large-scale casualties by now, not so systematic."

Su Huan no longer questioned. Matters concerning personal safety are not handled carelessly; whatever ideas he conceived, naturally, they’ve verified through life repeatedly.

However, he grew increasingly curious about what’s "deep within the jungle."

The zombies infused Pan Energy into humans, their hunting knew no restraint.

Evolution Beasts and mutant plants were more rational, but also straightforward in battle, not engaging in such mysterious affairs.

Listening to his words, the thing inside seemed more like it’s following some rule to kill.

This makes things interesting.

To solve this riddle, botanists organized the most elite survivors, venturing into the depths of the Plant Zone.

No need to mention the arduous obstacles, they saw a colossal locust tree deep inside.

The locust tree effortlessly slaughtered their most powerful Evolver, then pursued relentlessly; the botanist’s assistant, unable to run, covered his ears shivering, then something miraculous happened.

The surrounding plants let him go.

On the journey back, several dangers occurred; yet, whenever he held his head in fearful hands, he survived.

In the end, only the assistant returned from the entire team.

And that assistant is now the willow tree beneath his feet.

"Maintain fear?" Su Huan kicked the tree trunk, "Is this the ultimate secret you’ve discovered?"

"I know it’s hard to believe; I concocted a scary story afterward to deceive them, requiring a ritual every three days, making no reaction to outside stimuli, or you’d die."

"Although I never had the courage to understand its principle, thereafter, except for a few defiant individuals, the rest survived."

Su Huan squinted, "What’s with the group attacking us?"

This time the response was straightforward, "You’re pure humans; you’d invite disaster, so they decided to eliminate you at the seed, but didn’t expect to hit a hard nut."

Before Su Huan could discern the truth of this statement, Yu Yuexian soon relayed interrogation information from He Jie nearby.

Matches what the other party said.

Despite hearing many secrets, Su Huan was even more puzzled.

Why does this Plant Zone resemble a rule-like bizarre tale?

Despite encountering many eerie incidents since the apocalypse, in Su Huan’s eyes now, ghosts might just be unexplored human-detectable energy.

Even the strange pale demons could be eradicated by him; why fear these phony threats?

Feeling the Tier Four aura dissipate, the jungle hesitated for a moment, then tentatively closed in again.

This time, Su Huan’s temper wasn’t as good anymore.

With a cold snort, a stream of light appeared a kilometer away, instantly igniting the entire jungle, burning 30 meters inward. No matter how water-rich the plant, or thick the tree trunk, it incinerated into charcoal instantly before the flames.

Their rate of charring only depended on the flame’s advancing speed.

"What about Xiaoya? Why doesn’t she need it?"

Su Huan had examined Xiaoya over and over; not to mention fear, he couldn’t sense anything—apart from being thoroughly parasitized by the plant, this child’s just a standard human, without initial awakening, her Pan Energy concentration is pitifully low.

"The fear generated by others is sufficient; Xiaoya doesn’t need it."

"Moreover, having Xiaoya live like this comforts others more; as long as I’m sane, I can guard her for a day."

Like a fish in a well, Xiaoya acts as an early warning system.
