32: Chapter 32 An unexpected encounter with the lone wolf girl, mechanical genius Ye Qingyu

At this moment,

Su Chen stood on the roof deck, his entire being radiating a violent aura.

He closed his eyes, feeling the terrifying power surging wildly within his body like a volcanic eruption.

Boom!

An immense, utterly pure golden energy descended from the heavens like a divine revelation, directly pouring into his limbs and bones!

His bones creaked, his muscles tore and reformed wildly, becoming as tough as steel.

And this was only the Heavenly Dao System's reward of 20 points to all attributes.

Just as Su Chen was immersed in the euphoria of his soaring power,

the system's notification tone suddenly rang out in his mind once more.

[Ding! Core crew members detected: Chu Qingxue, Zhang Man, Lin Momo. Due to fighting side by side and absolute admiration for the host, their loyalty has undergone a qualitative change!]

[Chu Qingxue Loyalty: 92 (Devoted, Hidden Longing Activated)!]

[Zhang Man Loyalty: 95 (Fanatically Loyal, Willing to Go Through Fire and Water for You)!]

[Lin Momo Loyalty: 96 (Absolutely Dependent, Sees You as Her Only God)!]

[SSS-grade passive talent — [Monarchs Halo] hidden effect triggered: Triple Core Resonance!]

[Initiating High-Level Attribute Feedback!]

Hum—!

Su Chen's eyes snapped open.

He could clearly feel three distinct yet equally pure streams of energy.

One cold as ice, one wild as fire, one light and swift as the wind.

Following some mysterious, intangible connection, they surged wildly from the bodies of Chu Qingxue and the other two women into his own!

[Ding! Received Chu Qingxue's Spirit feedback: +15 points!]

[Received Zhang Man's Constitution feedback: +18 points!]

[Received Lin Momo's Agility feedback: +12 points!]

This was an ultimate sublimation beyond words!

The fixed attributes from the Heavenly Dao System's reward, combined with the terrifying feedback from the Monarchs Halo,

caused Su Chen's current personal stats to skyrocket like a rocket, directly breaking through the limits imaginable by ordinary humans or even low-level superhumans!

Su Chen slowly raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Pop!

A sound like a balloon popping—a sonic boom—actually erupted in the air!

He had an intense feeling.

Right now, he didn't need to use any weapons or skills.

With just the tempered power of his physical body, he could punch through a five-centimeter-thick blast-proof steel plate!

His speed had reached a point where even Bronze-grade monsters couldn't catch his afterimage!

His Spirit had become as deep and immeasurable as an ocean.

This was the true qualitative change!

From a Train Master reliant on weapons and modifications, he had completely transformed into a humanoid tyrannosaurus that could stride across the wasteland even without the protection of his train!

Train Master...

Chu Qingxue looked at Su Chen standing at the edge of the roof, gazing down at the swamp like a deity.

Her usually cold, ethereal eyes now burned with an almost melting fervor and infatuation.

Zhang Man was even more excited, brandishing her giant axe, wishing she could jump down right then to fight a few more monsters to vent her exhilaration.

Roar—!!!

Su Chen threw back his head, facing the sky full of green acid rain pouring down.

He let out a long, piercing roar that shot straight into the clouds!

This roar was filled with absolute mastery over power and endless contempt for this cruel wasteland!

The remaining monsters hiding deep in the acid swamp, which had been stirring restlessly, were so frightened by this roar carrying terrifying pressure that they dove to the bottom of the mire, not daring to make a single bubble.

Back to the train.

After his long roar, Su Chen was in excellent spirits.

He casually wiped the cold rainwater from his face and turned towards the ladder leading down.

Since heaven has gifted us a Silver-grade blueprint, wouldn't it be a waste of this kindness not to go back and study it properly?

A playful smile curled at the corner of Su Chen's mouth, his gaze lingering for a moment on Chu Qingxue's tactical suit, soaked by the rain and clinging tightly to her body, outlining her perfect curves.

Besides, you must all be tired after fighting for so long.

Tonight, the master bedroom's luxurious bathtub is open to you.

Hearing this,

two alluring blushes instantly bloomed on Chu Qingxue's exquisite face.

She bit her moist red lips. Though shy, her eyes sparkled with an anticipation and joy she couldn't hide.

...

The seventy-second hour.

As the last drop of strong acid-laden green rainwater slid down the dark green glowing alloy coating of train no. 0099 and finally fell into the swamp with a faint sizzle,

the cold, mechanical voice of the Heavenly Dao System finally rang out in the minds of all survivors like heavenly music.

[Region-wide Announcement!]

[The first large-scale regional disaster — [Corrosive Acid Rain] has ended!]

[Re-generating Wasteland Mist...]

[Congratulations to all surviving Train Masters. You have successfully endured the wasteland's first trial!]

Following this announcement,

the dark green clouds that had oppressed the sky for three whole days seemed torn apart by an invisible hand.

Though no sunlight poured down, the nauseating, pungent smell of sulfur finally began to dissipate.

In its place, the familiar yet oppressive blood-red mist surged back from all directions like a tide, once again enveloping the entire wasteland world in a shroud of haze and uncertainty.

Hah— finally stopped.

On the large, soft leather bed in the master bedroom, Su Chen stretched lazily and sat up from between two warm, jade-like bodies.

Last night's exhilarating 'celebration' not only allowed him to fully adapt to his soaring attributes but also gave him a taste of what true monarch treatment was like.

Even Su Chen's body, which had undergone feedback from the [Monarchs Halo] and possessed freakishly extreme Constitution, now felt a refreshing sense of satisfaction.

Train Master, you're awake.

Noticing Su Chen's movement, Liu Ruyan lazily opened her watery peach-blossom eyes.

Like an affectionate kitten, she nuzzled against Su Chen's arm, her voice carrying a hint of morning huskiness and allure.

As for Chu Qingxue, though not as bold as Liu Ruyan,

she also blushed slightly, pulling the blanket up a bit. Her cold eyes held an undisguised gaze of love and devoted dependence when looking at Su Chen.

Mm, time to get up. The disaster is over, time to work.

With the help of the two women, Su Chen put on his black tactical camouflage suit. Feeling the seemingly inexhaustible terrifying power within him, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

The acid rain had stopped, but the dangers on this wasteland would never cease.

Moreover, he still had the [Silver-grade Random Module Blueprint] from last night's first-kill reward that he hadn't used.

Leaving the master bedroom, he arrived at the cockpit.

Su Chen sat in the large leather command chair.

Ling Yi, report the train's current status and the results of the surrounding environmental scan.

Understood, Master.

On the holographic projection screen, the cold AI beauty instantly appeared.

Train current status: Integrity 100%.

The [Acid-Resistant Alloy Coating]'s surface strength has increased by 3% after absorbing acid rain energy.

Power boiler fuel is sufficient. Vital signs of crew members in all carriages are stable.

Additionally...

Ling Yi's voice paused briefly. The radar interface on the screen began to zoom in rapidly.

According to deep radar scans, the outline of a large abandoned facility has been detected approximately ten kilometers directly ahead of the train. Preliminary assessment: Abandoned Railway Marshalling Yard.

Marshalling yard?

Hearing this term, Su Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

Before the apocalypse, railway marshalling yards were large hubs used for disassembling, assembling, and repairing trains.

Inside, there were absolutely massive amounts of high-grade train parts, even some undamaged special carriages!

For Su Chen, who urgently needed to expand his train's scale and firepower, this was simply a huge treasure trove!

Full speed ahead. Destination: Abandoned Marshalling Yard!

Su Chen gave the order without hesitation.

Woo—!

Accompanied by a deafening steam whistle,

train no. 0099, the heavy steam-armored train, like a dark green behemoth parting the mist, sped wildly along the acid-muddy tracks towards that unknown treasure land.

About twenty minutes later,

the train began to slow down at the edge of a vast complex of ruined buildings.

Through the blast-proof glass, Su Chen could see countless giant gantry cranes, rusted signal towers, and dozens of crisscrossing tracks like a spider's web standing in the mist.

This was the abandoned railway marshalling yard.

However, before the train had even come to a complete stop,

Alert! Alert!

Ling Yi's mechanical, cold voice suddenly became urgent.

High-intensity energy reactions and Intense sounds of gunfire detected one kilometer ahead!

Simultaneously scanning numerous low-level mutant life signals rapidly gathering!

Su Chen frowned and immediately pressed a button on the console.

Pull up and zoom in on the surveillance feed ahead.

The image on the screen instantly switched and was processed in high definition.

Through the thin layer of mist,

Su Chen saw, on a derelict track at the edge of the marshalling yard, a single dilapidated wooden train car sitting all alone, its roof even full of holes, standing alone.

At this moment, this train, fragile as a candle in the wind, was surrounded three layers deep by hundreds of Ghouls, claws bared, drooling Nausea and drooling!

These Ghouls had clearly been attracted by the earlier gunfire and gathered from various corners of the marshalling yard.

But in this seemingly hopeless desperate situation, what shocked Su Chen the most wasn't the Huge horde of corpses.

It was the person on that Broken car.

To be precise, there weren't many people on it at all—only one!

It was a girl who looked about nineteen years old.

She stood alone on the riddled roof, facing the sea of monsters below Enough to tear her to pieces, yet showed not the slightest hint of retreat.

The girl's attire was both provocative and efficient.

She wore only a gray work vest on her upper body, stained with black grease and dust.

The tight vest, soaked with sweat, clung to her youthful, vibrant body, perfectly outlining her incredibly proud and full bust shape.

Beads of Glistening beads of sweat slid down her long, fair neck, over her delicate collarbones, and finally vanished into the deep ravines.

Her lower body was clad in frayed denim shorts. Her two straight, long, Elastic and explosive beautiful legs were firmly planted on the roof to withstand weapon recoil.

Her jet-black long hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, flying wildly in the air with her movements.

Though her face was smudged with soot and engine oil, it couldn't hide her Exquisite and dashing features.

Her eyes held a Unruly and crazy belonging to a lone wolf.

Around her, four or five Exaggerated shape of a homemade cannon were set up, cobbled together entirely from scrap metal and crude pipes.

These Homemade cannon looked incredibly simple, but the firepower they spat out was Extremely terrifying.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening Sound of gunfire rang out continuously, blowing to pieces any Ghouls attempting to climb onto the carriage.

The girl clenched her White teeth, her hands flying over the hot machinery.

Clack!

The feed pipe of one Homemade cannon suddenly jammed, emitting Dangerous black smoke.

An ordinary person would have panicked.

But this girl didn't even blink. Instead, she pulled a heavy mechanical wrench from her waist.

Her hands seemed to turn into blurs at that moment!

Dismantling valves, removing jammed scrap shrapnel, recalibrating firing pins, connecting Simple pressure tube.

A The entire set of extremely complex mechanical repair procedures flowed from her hands like running water, completed in less than three seconds!

Bang!

The repaired Homemade cannon roared again, directly blowing half the head off a large elite Ghoul.

Sitting in the command chair, Su Chen stared intently at the girl on the screen, dancing crazy amidst Horde of Corpses.

His eyes instantly burst with an Extremely bright light.

This level of skill... this abnormal insight of mechanical structures.

She is absolutely a Super genius in mechanical engineering!

Su Chen couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

In this wasteland world, there might be many superhumans, but truly proficient Senior Mechanic were as rare as phoenix feathers.

His SSS-grade talent [Omni-Modification] was indeed a divine skill, allowing him to upgrade and Reorganization equipment and structures ignoring physical laws.

But every modification consumed a large amount of his Spirit.

As train no. 0099 grew larger and its internal mechanical structures more complex,

whether it was daily maintenance of the steam boilers, basic repairs for damaged armor, or organizing various weapon pipelines,

Su Chen simply couldn't handle every detail personally.

He needed a professional talent who could fully understand the train's mechanical structure and share these Tedious maintenance work!

And this girl before him, covered in grease, stubborn as a wildcat, was practically the Master Mechanic heaven had prepared just for him!

This woman, I must have her.

A A domineering sneer of certain victory curled at the corner of Su Chen's mouth.
