Armed Train in the Apocalypse-Chapter 346 - 238: White Ticket_2

Now she’s actually scolding him!

Those refugees in the shelters didn’t matter, a bunch of consumables anyway, with the train conductor’s temper, who knows where they’ll end up when the project is completed.

But the looks from those Armed Corps soldiers made him very uncomfortable.

The man opened his mouth and cursed, "Who the hell do you think you are, meddling in other people’s business, do I need to explain to you?"

Everyone immediately went silent, the surrounding soldiers’ gazes becoming hostile.

Someone quickly ran outside.

A colleague from the combat group quickly advised, "Old Wu’s temper is a bit rash, but what you said was also somewhat inappropriate. Why meddle in matters that are mutually consensual? Give me a break, and both of you take a step back, otherwise, it’ll be hard to handle when the conductor arrives."

The woman realized something was wrong, and with a worried look, said to the Mongoose, "You misunderstood, it’s just, we... it’s nothing..."

The Mongoose turned back to look at her, the strange beast eyes causing her to take a fearful step back.

The Mongoose calmly said, "You can go back first, I’ll handle things here."

Then she faced the furious man before her, "This is my task, you’re overstepping."

She didn’t mention anything about men or women.

But directly pointed out the key issue.

This survivor was her task target, so no matter what happened, she had the right to intervene.

This was the responsibility the train entrusted to her, and it was also her authority.

When these words were spoken.

It was not about men and women anymore, but a power struggle!

The colleague from the combat group who wanted to mediate was taken aback, not knowing what to say.

Although the Mongoose seemed to be using the opportunity to escalate, they really didn’t dare to pick up this argument, in other words, they didn’t want to stand in for Old Wu in this matter.

The armed train was not a charity; the consequences of not completing a task could be significant or trivial.

Handling it according to the rules was best.

The fear was that this matter would alarm the train conductor.

No matter how trivial the issue, if it reached the train conductor, it would become a big deal.

The man, upon hearing this, was instantly enraged beyond measure.

The aura of a "Defender" was unleashed without reservation, his face livid as he faced off with the Mongoose.

"So, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully today?"

"The damn road is blocked, resolve what, your damn egg!"

A rough and loud cursing voice echoed, causing everyone’s ears to buzz, feeling vaguely familiar with the voice, though they hadn’t realized who it was.

They saw a bear-like fierce silhouette kicking aggressively into the crowd.

Old Wu was sent flying backward despite his burly physique providing no help at all, looking menacing but powerless.

"Bang bang bang!"

The soldiers watching suffered misfortune, being knocked down like bowling pins.

But upon seeing the man standing in the center, all the soldiers went quiet like quails, even Old Wu, whose face was pale with pain, dared not make a sound.

Instead, he scrambled to stand properly.

"Pa!"

All the Armed Corps soldiers standing there, including the combat group soldiers, stood up straight, saluting the man standing in the center.

It wasn’t a standard military salute, but using the right fist to knock the left shoulder instead.

Suddenly, a rush of rapid and heavy footsteps came from afar.

Two conductors from the combat group, Lao San and Lao Er, along with Officers Mountain Goat and Qu Hang, ran wildly over.

Each wielded a rubber baton.

"Do you all have nothing to do? Move aside!"

The soldiers hurriedly cleared the way.

Lao San and others, upon seeing He Jie standing in the center with heavy dark circles, collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing the report from the soldiers, their heads were about to explode.

If the two biggest violent departments within the train had an internal conflict, the consequences were unimaginable for Lao San and his team.

Fortunately, He Jie had boarded ahead of time.

His prestige far exceeded that of a titular conductor, just standing there could resolve the issue.

"Captain He!"

"Boss!"

Upon hearing the voices, He Jie glanced at them, coldly snorted, "Such a small area and it took you so long to get here, haven’t exercised for days, your legs gone soft?"

Lao San shook his head like a rattle drum, then looked around, cautiously asked, "Nothing went wrong, did it?"

He Jie glared, "You don’t know?"

"Didn’t have time to ask."

Lao San awkwardly replied.

He Jie’s gaze fell on Qu Hang behind him, "I was in a rush to get on the train, only to see a bunch of troublemakers blocking the road, arguing loudly, so I gave them a kick, I’m heading home first, handle the situation and disperse as soon as possible."

There’s still a little time, while the train conductor hadn’t summoned him, he could visit his wife and children first.

Hearing he was about to leave, everyone sighed in relief.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, Mongoose suddenly called out.

He Jie looked at Mongoose unfriendly, his fingers cracking as they snapped, "I said I’m going home first, you all disperse, any problem?"

Looking at the fierce He Jie, although not knowing why he was in such a hurry, Mongoose still decided to resolve the matter.

Even if it meant dealing with He Jie’s retaliation later.

Chin held high, she resolutely said, "The matter isn’t resolved yet, my task is not complete..."

At that moment, a voice from the command deck in the train head echoed over the broadcast.

"Colonel He Jie, please come to the dining car, the train conductor wants to see you."

"Please respond if you hear..."

Mongoose was momentarily stunned, then noticed He Jie’s face seemed even darker.

He Jie’s eye twitched, "Copy that!"

Well, no going back now.

Looking down at the stubborn Mongoose, "Explain it to the train conductor, then."

...

Ten minutes later.

Mongoose, Old Wu, the woman, and a batch of officers including He Jie stood in front of Su Huan.

The woman was bewildered, Old Wu terrified, while Mongoose looked resolute as if ready to sacrifice herself.

Seeing their expressions, Su Huan found it amusing.

There were many matters to handle, but trials like this were rare.

Only management sat in the dining car, even the least intelligent among them knew not to cause trouble for the train conductor.

But it was different for those below.

Over a thousand people living in a confined space could lead to frequent small or large frictions, but usually, such matters never reached Su Huan, and only a few reached He Jie’s level.

However, today was special, as a conflict broke out between two violent departments.

Adding to He Jie’s frustration, the problem was brought directly to Su Huan.

It wasn’t a complicated issue.

Old Wu, a second-level conductor of the combat group, was single and not a well-behaved person, considered quite the taxpayer within the train.

Seeing new arrivals, especially many young women, made his heart itch.

If before becoming an Evolver, he had some hope, now that everyone evolved, the success rate was slim.

Moreover, his short stature and unappealing looks didn’t help him in getting a hookup.

He dared not use force; if anyone dared to act tough relying on their power, matters wouldn’t even reach the train conductor, conductors of various groups would deal with it.

All Old Wu could do was devise some underhanded methods.

After much aimless effort, he turned his attention to this woman, using his status to promise conditions to succeed.

His first promise was to secure a formal identity for the woman, but given his status in the train, it was nonsense.

It was mere lip service, in reality exploiting for free.

After exploiting her for two consecutive days, he coincidentally ran into Mongoose.

That’s how the incident unfolded today.

After hearing the situation, Su Huan slightly smirked, "I love solving cases, who wants to go first?"

Old Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Train conductor, I acted according to the train’s rules, and I don’t have a wife, it’s not against the rules for him not being married and her not being married, right?"

"But you deceived me!"

The woman, having heard the entire process, said angrily with teary eyes.

Su Huan nodded, "Although deception is unethical, it doesn’t break the rules. As for you..."

He turned to the woman who looked deceived by a scoundrel, and said with a light chuckle the two words.

"Serves you right."

The woman was instantly choked up but didn’t dare to retort.

"Also, you can leave now, someone will assign you tasks when you go up."

Beside her, Hu gestured for her to leave.

The woman looked around in shock, no one was looking at her, not even a sympathetic glance.

Even though she was the one who got the short end of the stick, why did it seem as if none of this concerned her?
