Armed Train in the Apocalypse-Chapter 333 - 232: Seeking Your Protection

Qi Jian Country touched the cracked scales on his body and fell silent.

In the next moment, a bolt of lightning as if lost, directly struck Qi Jian Country, instantly paralyzing him.

"What’s with this lightning, doesn’t it differentiate between friend and foe?!"

On the rooftop, Lao San hugged his clothes and grimaced in pain.

"Captain, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have killed randomly. Give me a chance to make it right..."

Su Huan waved his hand angrily.

With a slap, Lao San was sent three meters high.

"Shut up, stay away from me, I’m having trouble controlling myself."

Lao San rolled and crawled more than ten meters away, shouting from afar to Su Huan standing at the edge of the rooftop, "Was it the same just now?"

Su Huan looked at the rolling Thunder Pool, said lightly, "Except for that."

The "Thunder Pool" is an enhanced ability he developed based on the "Static Swamp," changing the output method of the static swamp surface, dispersing lightning centered on himself.

Creating two lightning zones above and below, the lightning at both ends attracts and collides, resulting in a power amplification effect.

Even without collision, the targets within the area will be attacked during the current flow.

Not to mention in such stormy flood weather, it’s practically his home ground.

Su Huan sat on a steel beam extending outside the building, overlooking the tide of green crabs.

Those green crabs emerging from the water almost don’t need his concern; the moisture on their bodies naturally attracts the current.

He only needs to maintain the intensity of the current and control it from randomly striking anyone.

The former is very easy. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The "Circulating Vortex" turns his body into a small self-circulating generator, continuously absorbing the surrounding pan-energy floating in the air.

The consumption speed barely surpasses the replenishment speed.

With the enormous energy storage at his heart, he’s not afraid of consumption at all.

Thus controlling these energies has instead become a troublesome task.

Recently, his evolution speed has been too fast, the primary occupation’s "Pan-energy Transformation" has reached lv7, and the energy inside his body has long surpassed the control limit of his previous life.

It’s like a power plant producing at 1% efficiency daily, naturally relaxed and enjoyable, but suddenly opening at 100% efficiency, the workers are completely unaccustomed, leading to chaos.

That’s his current situation.

If his various data were visualized, fine control of this part could already be marked in red.

However, under his full firepower, the green crab tide was forcibly suppressed below the tenth floor.

Lin Jin wasn’t idle either, although he couldn’t achieve Su Huan’s extensive coverage, taking care of this building’s stability was no problem.

Therefore, everyone on the roof witnessed a spectacle of heavenly fire.

A bolt of lightning struck the highest crawling crab, instantly guided by water flow, attaching cold blue arcs in the cracks of the crab mountain outside the floor.

Then a fiery dragon smashed down from above.

With a thunderous explosion, the crab mountain crumbled into the water.

The two cooperated extremely well, with almost no gap, and everyone could only watch as lightning flashed and fire burst forth.

Like thunder and fire igniting simultaneously.

The people in the shelter watched the nearby thunderfire fireworks with a pounding heart.

Soldiers were much more accustomed, briefly relaxing while holding their guns.

Yu Yue’s figure quickly emerged from inside the staircase, and Lin Jin and others guarding nearby greeted her.

"Sister Yue"

"Major Yu"

"Hmm."

Yu Yue responded and ran towards Su Huan.

Her running posture was strange, leaning forward with almost no arm swing, her tense toes slightly pointing, her whole body shooting forward several meters.

Rather than running, it was more like jumping.

"Just stand there, getting too close makes me lose focus."

Su Huan said calmly.

Yu Yue’s almond eyes froze slightly, glanced at Shu Wei beside her, took an extra step forward, then stood still.

"Most of the cannons downstairs have been moved onto the train, all but one, and the ammo boxes didn’t have time to be transported. I had the soldiers carry them upstairs; currently, the floor below ten is filled with those crabs."

That was not unexpected, even if Iron Mountain Shelter had a few boats, the chaotic situation at the time should have left them incapable of transporting too much heavy military equipment.

Being able to carry some small cannons up is already good.

Though not very useful, it’s better than nothing.

The current train severely lacks this kind of heavy firepower.

"Did you figure out how these crabs emerged?"

Seeing the armed train surrounded by crabs below, Su Huan asked with some doubt.

"According to the biological experts on the train, these crabs likely faced no natural enemies in Jingchao Lake, leading to a population explosion due to massive reproduction, and then migrated to reduce group pressure."

"When can we retreat?"

"Hard to say..."

Su Huan frowned, "Don’t tell me I have to sit here, soaking in the rain, grilling crabs all night?"

Yu Yue bit her lower lip, "Originally, the crab swarm was just passing by Iron Mountain Shelter, but too many bodies were thrown from the upper floors, attracting the crab tide with the scent of blood. Now, crabs within a ten-kilometer radius have gathered."

Su Huan glanced at Lao San conversing with soldiers under the eaves.

Lao San suddenly shrank his neck, looked around suspiciously, thought it was his illusion, touched his head, and continued bragging about the lightning in the sky and the soldiers he’d never seen before.

"Back then you were just lucky. If the train captain had promoted to the second tier, then your little tricks would have been wiped out with a single strike, leaving both people and the train gone!"

The soldiers in the combat group looked at the sky, nodded with lingering fear one after another, didn’t dare to make a sound, fearing a strike would hit them.

Su Huan ground his teeth and after a while said, "Get Qi Tieshan and his people moving, tell him from today, he, his son, grandson, including that brat Xiaodong, all must damn well work hard for me!"

"I really want to see how tough Guan Chong’s Iron Mountain really is!"

"Oh."

Yu Yue responded, then quickly changed it to "Yes."

Her eyebrows curved and her almond eyes smiled more.

Su Huan’s grinding voice was naturally heard, and she viewed it as Su Huan’s childish temper, clearly wanting to protect Iron Mountain Shelter, yet stubbornly finding an excuse.

Shu Wei couldn’t hear much, puzzled by Yu Yue finding joy in such a simple conversation.

’Am I too dull?’ Shu Wei reflected silently on seeing Yu Yue’s curvy and graceful figure.

But she admired Yu Yue from the heart, enduring Su Huan’s demanding gameplay for days without changing expression.

Just listening to the thunder made her legs weak and whole body numb.

"Anything else?"

Yu Yue asked.

"Catch more crabs; I want to eat them in the morning."

Su Huan’s faint voice came through the rain.

"Alright."

Yu Yue cheerfully agreed, looking at Shu Wei and softly said, "Then I’ll trouble you to take care of him for a while."

Shu Wei’s lips twitched a bit, but she still bowed her head and said, "Duty-bound, no need to be formal."

Watching the woman leave, Shu Wei carefully pondered the previous conversation.

A bold thought emerged in her mind.

Yu Yue was jealous.

But she immediately extinguished it herself.

Based on her understanding during this period, Yu Yue was also abducted onto the train with tough measures by the captain.

How could anyone like someone who bullies them?

Especially such a... Shu Wei’s gaze fell on Su Huan’s back.

His black long hair was whipped wildly by the wind and rain, lightning pouring down around him like Zeus sitting high on Mount Olympus overlooking his kingdom.

How could anyone like such a tyrant?

It should be, like herself, submitting to his strength.

Hu Shuo’s arrival broke her idle thought; he nodded towards her, then shouted towards Su Huan’s direction.

"Captain, there’s a woman named Zhang Min downstairs wanting to see you."

Shu Wei immediately thought of that young girl pretending to be mature, inexplicably raising faint vigilance in her heart.

"What does she want?"

Su Huan asked suspiciously.

"She wants your protection."
