49: Chapter 49 Ambush in Death Valley

"Notify the whole train, extra food tonight!"

"Tell the logistics team to move all those military beef cans and fresh vegetables from the warehouse out for me."

"Let everyone eat their fill, get full, and then sleep well."

"Tomorrow morning, we go to Death Valley to harvest ten piping hot train cores!"

Following Su Chen's command.

That night, the second-floor panoramic living area of the abyss roarer was brightly lit, filled with constant laughter and cheer.

A grand banquet, which could be considered incredibly luxurious in this wasteland world, was underway.

Su Xiaoxiao, who served as the leader of the logistics team and the chief financial officer, was uncharacteristically generous today.

She directed the girls under her command to carry plates of steaming hot braised military beef and stir-fried mutant vegetables onto the wide, long dining table.

She even distributed half a cup of fruit wine made from mutant fruits picked from the ecological carriage to everyone.

In this cruel world where even gnawing on a piece of moldy tree bark was a matter of luck, such a top-tier feast with meat and vegetables was even more maddeningly enticing than a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast from the old era.

Zhang Man and several other Valkyries from the core Combat Team did not remove their dark silver Valkyrie Exoskeleton Armor, even while they were stuffing their faces.

Zhang Man held a huge can of beef in one hand and excitedly pounded the table with the other.

"Damn it, that Iron Blood Alliance is truly tired of living!"

"No one is allowed to fight me for it tomorrow; I'm going to use this high-frequency vibrating bone blade to chop off that bald head of Zhao Kuang and kick it like a ball!"

Her wild eyes were filled with fanatical fighting spirit, ready to die for Su Chen at any moment.

Lin Momo sat quietly to the side, eating vegetables in small bites.

As she ate, she hummed a light tune, and the invisible Vitality Notes she emitted made all the girls feel energetic, sweeping away the fatigue of the day.

Meanwhile, Su Chen was not in the living area making noise and dining with everyone.

He carried a special dinner personally cooked by Chu Qingxue and walked straight into the luxurious master bedroom of the Train Master, which had absolute security clearance.

The heavy soundproof door of the master bedroom slowly closed, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

Inside the room, the constant-temperature air conditioning was blowing warm air that made one feel intoxicated.

The large, soft leather bed exuded a scent that made one's blood boil.

Liu Ruyan was already waiting there.

This twenty-six-year-old dance instructor with a hot figure was not wearing her signature white research lab coat.

She was wearing only a deep purple, translucent silk lace nightgown.

Her outrageously hot and mature curves looked incredibly tempting under the dim, ambiguous lighting.

Especially those long, straight, fair legs, which were lazily crossed, exuding a fatal, mature charm.

"Train Master, you finally came in."

Liu Ruyan's eyes were filled with seduction as she twisted her snake-like waist and swayed over to him.

She took the initiative to reach out with her jade arms, which seemed capable of melting steel, and naturally wrapped them around Su Chen's neck.

"I already have some initial ideas for the improved version of the junior physical strengthening potion you asked for."

"As long as we run a few more ingredient fusion tests, we should be able to mass-produce it."

"However, in this room tonight, I don't want to discuss those boring and dull data points with you."

Liu Ruyan's luscious red lips leaned close to Su Chen's ear, breathing like an orchid.

"Those little girls outside are all fired up for tomorrow's battle."

"But as the chief nanny on the train, I also want to use my own way to help you 'relax' properly."

Feeling the top-tier beauty in his arms, who was like a ripe peach, Su Chen did not hesitate to extend his strong arms and wrap them around her slender waist.

With one turn, he directly pressed Liu Ruyan onto the large leather bed.

"Since you are so thoughtful, Teacher Ruyan, then this Train Master won't be polite tonight."

On this wasteland night filled with crises, death, and slaughter, a scene of indescribable beauty was unfolding in the master bedroom of train no. 0099.

And Su Chen's mental power, which had already reached its maximum value, became even more active and surging during this special "deep relaxation."

At the same time, in Death Valley, dozens of kilometers away from the core hub of the East China Region.

The cold night wind whistled through the steep black rock walls, making a chilling sound like the wailing of evil spirits.

Zhao Kuang stood on the edge of a protruding cliff, facing the biting cold wind, and took a hard drag of the low-quality cigar in his hand.

Below his feet were ten tier-1 heavy armored trains, connected head-to-tail and lined up in a row.

The tops of each train carriage had been welded shut, with pitch-black armor-piercing artillery barrels protruding out.

A full hundred cannons intersected in the night, forming a deadly web of firepower with no blind spots.

They were locked tightly onto the rusty tracks below, the only route leading outside the hub.

"Boss Zhao, the strong magnetic interference device has been fully calibrated."

An adjutant ran over with a fawning smile and reported.

"We spent a lot of money on this thing, buying it from a veteran gold panner in the underground black market; it's a piece of military-grade junk from the old era."

"Although it consumes a staggering amount of electricity, once turned on, all radar and communication signals within a five-kilometer radius will turn into static."

"As soon as that damn train no. 0099 dares to enter this valley, it will instantly become blind and deaf!"

Zhao Kuang proudly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, his face full of cruel and twisted laughter.

"Well done!"

"Su Chen, oh Su Chen, do you really think that just because you got a tier-2 train, you can walk sideways in the East China Region?"

Zhao Kuang touched the hideous scar on his bald head that ran from the corner of his eye to his chin.

Whenever he thought of the humiliation he suffered at the auction during the day, the violent murderous intent in his heart surged like a volcanic eruption.

"So what if you have 1000 liters of pure water?"

"So what if you have ten boxes of fresh tomatoes?"

"In this wilderness, my hundred cannons are the absolute truth that cannot be refuted!"

Zhao Kuang turned around abruptly and roared at the heavily armed thugs behind him, whose eyes were filled with greed.

"Brothers, give me your full attention tonight!"

"Tomorrow morning, as soon as that dark gold train enters our firing range."

"No one needs to ask for my permission; just fire at them with everything you've got!"

"Whoever can pierce his armor with the first shot, I'll reward them with 100 alliance contribution points, plus the two most beautiful women!"

"Once that piece of junk is crippled, all the top-tier supplies on the train, and that beast-kin cat-girl bought for a sky-high price, will all be the spoils of war for our Iron Blood Alliance!"

Under the incitement of Zhao Kuang's unscrupulous rewards, a greedy howl like starving wolves broke out on the cliff.

These desperadoes, completely blinded by immediate gains, had no idea who they were digging graves for tonight.

The next morning.

The dense blood-colored fog still shrouded the earth, and the air was filled with a chill that could freeze marrow.

"Woo — — — —!"

A violent whistle that shook the entire core hub exploded in the silence of the morning.

The abyss roarer, with its massive, mountain-like two-story dark gold body, slowly pulled out of the VIP platform, accompanied by scorching high-pressure steam.

The hideous dragon ram at the front of the train shimmered with a chilling metallic luster under the refraction of the dim sunlight.

Throughout the entire train, all the top-tier black iron armor had entered the highest level of charging defense status.

In the second-floor panoramic living area.

The girls looked through the sturdy explosion-proof glass at the desolate wasteland scenery constantly receding behind them.

Their eyes held no fear of the unknown ambush, but were instead filled with extreme excitement for the impending battle.

The train sped eastward along the rusty tracks.

Driven by the modified power boiler, its speed quickly broke through the terrifying 150 km/h mark.

About half an hour later.

A huge canyon appeared on the horizon ahead, as if it had been split open by an ancient god with a giant axe.

On both sides were towering, ninety-degree vertical black cliffs.

The terrain here was extremely dangerous, with no sunlight all year round, exactly the "Death Valley" regarded as a forbidden zone by wasteland survivors.

"Train Master, we are about to enter the canyon section."

In the cab, Su Xiaoxiao stared fixedly at the holographic radar screen in front of her, pushed up her glasses, and reported nervously.

Su Chen remained sitting on the large command chair as steady as Mount Tai.

He was casually fiddling with a sterling silver windproof lighter in his hand.

His deep, cold eyes stared coldly through the panoramic glass in front at the faint reflections of metal artillery barrels above the canyon.

"Finally here, are you?"

Just as the massive, violent body of the abyss roarer crossed the entrance of the canyon.

On the top of the armored train that served as the flagship on the cliff above.

Zhao Kuang suddenly raised the walkie-talkie in his hand.

His fleshy face broke into the most arrogant, most cruel, and insane laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Su Chen! There is a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it; there is no door to hell, yet you insist on breaking in!"

"Your death day has arrived!"

Zhao Kuang's hysterical roar, which was slightly cracking from excitement, vibrated back and forth between the cliffs of the entire canyon through the high-power loudspeaker.

"Start the strong magnetic interference device for me!"

"Blind their dog-eye radars first!"

"All artillery, prepare, fire at will!"

Following Zhao Kuang's roar.

A dazzling blue arc of electricity suddenly lit up above the cliff.

A powerful electromagnetic pulse wave, invisible to the naked eye, swept across the entire canyon space from top to bottom like an invisible storm of destruction.

Zhao Kuang lay on the railing, full of anticipation, staring with wide eyes.

He fantasized about seeing that arrogant dark gold train, after instantly losing all radar navigation and electronic control.

The pathetic scene of it emergency braking crazily on the tracks like a headless fly, and finally losing control and crashing into the rock walls on both sides.

He could even picture in his mind the miserable appearance of Su Chen in the cab, panicking and begging for mercy in despair.
