Chapter 551: Chapter 337: The Little Brats

"I work in the bullet workshop on the armed train. I’ve done nothing wrong, so why are we being captured?"

The speaker was a young man, his face full of flesh, fat and strong.

Bai Lu sensed that the conductor had no intention of responding to this fat man. Before the man could howl a second time, the conductor stomped on his mouth.

The atmosphere instantly quieted down.

Su Huan flicked the girl’s forehead gently, warmly asking, "Are you an orphan?"

The girl didn’t understand what Su Huan meant and, with timid eyes, sneaked a glance at a few others who were captured.

The people dared not speak, winking at the girl to stick to her previous words.

The girl didn’t dare to look into Su Huan’s eyes and nodded heavily, "Yes."

"Then why keep these people around?"

Su Huan’s voice was faint.

But it made everyone’s heart tremble.

Zhou Qing’s eyelid twitched slightly; kill without interrogation?

The soldiers stood there blankly, but Bai Lu, performing the conductor’s task, didn’t hesitate a bit, kicking the fat man’s forehead with a thud, his brain embedding into the ground, eyes bulging as he died.

Then, connecting the five-phased shooting techniques, Bai Lu precisely shot five people dead, sending them to meet King Yama without a hitch.

"Daddy!"

Seeing the sudden violence and the few lying in a pool of blood, the girl’s eyes were blank, her tears rolling down like beans from the corners of her eyes.

Then warm thumbs crushed them, the girl raised her head in despair, looking at the warmth in those narrow eyes, her mouth muttering repeatedly, "Daddy..."

A massive regret filled her heart.

Though she hated her father for beating her mother to death and trying to sell her to a gang, he was the only one she could rely on after her mother’s death, her last link to the world.

When this person truly died, the hatred and resentment hidden in her heart vanished with his loss.

Replacing them was enormous confusion and fear.

Su Huan gently wiped away the girl’s continuous tears, smiling, "Hmm, you are an honest child."

Looking at the devilish smile, the girl’s body trembled, and driven by a survival instinct, she muttered something.

The voice was so low, only Su Huan and Zhou Qing beside him could hear.

"Daddy."

The meanings of the two calls were undoubtedly different.

Su Huan’s inky black eyes finally showed some ripples, then he tugged the corners of his mouth backward, eerily without a sound, as he led the girl into the military camp.

"From now on, your name will be Su Han, after Su Huan."

Their figures were vastly different, yet in Zhou Qing’s shocked pupils, they overlapped somewhat.

Zhou Qing prided herself on a wealth of experience, yet the conversation between the two left her profoundly astounded.

One recognizing a father’s killer as her father, the other taking in someone with ulterior motives as a daughter.

Moreover, it all happened in the same instant, the same minute, even within mere seconds!

It was more novel than a novel, more dramatic than drama.

With a cruel ferocity.

It was the purest survival instinct stripped of moral rules, all artificially added restraints.

...

When the reporting mongoose hurried in with the Mountain Goat, only six cold corpses and bewildered soldiers were left at the neighborhood entrance.

After listening to the soldiers recount the entire process, Mongoose and Mountain Goat were also stunned.

However, Mongoose managed a bit better, after all, it wasn’t the first time Su Huan had done this, with another person on the train named Chengcheng, yet she still couldn’t comprehend.

Mountain Goat recovered quickly, having already inquired with He Jie when first boarding.

"He’s a madman, nothing he does is surprising."

Just taking in an unknown daughter.

Nothing much to be astonished by.

"How to deal with these corpses?"

Mongoose pointed at the bodies and asked.

"Who are they?"

"Didn’t have time to ask."

Mountain Goat frowned at the few corpses with crushed heads, recognizing the handiwork of the Ming Lion, currently a favorite sidearm among the train officers, making identifying the bodies a bit troublesome.

"Let Black Star identify them, I’ll take people out tonight, you write a report, try to hand it to the conductor tomorrow morning."

Thinking of that tedious report format, Mongoose’s ears drooped, dispirited, "Can we change it?"

"Of course—not possible!"

Mountain Goat resolutely said.

...

Zhijin, the new recruits camp, fifth-floor instructors’ lounge.

Officers of the Armed Corps recently rotated between two points, either standing guard on the north side or assisting in training at the new recruits camp.

Lu Xiao’s team happened to coincide with the release of the first test results at the new recruits camp during their shift change.

Thus, under Lin Jin’s grateful gaze, Lu Xiao took over organizing the results and distributing the teams.

The lounge was naturally a renovated residence, fairly spacious, with seven or eight laptops lined up besides the sofa in the living room, the tabletop piled with a huge stack of documents, five people tapping away at the keyboards, and two instructors from the recruits camp assisting in organizing the materials.

Lu Xiao, flipping through the documents on the computer, said, "This kid named Bomb has an interesting ability; he can directly detonate Pan Energy, and his results are good, he’s made it to the first tier."

Miao Qi, biting a straw, said with a peculiar expression, "Lao Er instructed to place him in a group with Xiao Hong and Big Goose."

"Xiao Hong... Found him, a sniper?"

Lu Xiao was a bit surprised.

"I know Big Goose, a kid caught in Pingqiao Village, skilled in sensory reconnaissance, his test results are average, and although Xiao Hong’s results are good, his abilities are rather ordinary. Putting these three together lacks conventional firepower output."

Miao Qi replied, "A sniper for single target damage, Bomb for area damage, they complement each other for firepower suppression, not to mention their team leader is Liu Zi, the first in the new recruits camp."
