"Then, in order to survive, your body will start to evolve crazily."

Yu Jing's phoenix eyes tilted upwards, "And if you fail, you'll end up like Gao Zhe?"

Su Huan snapped his fingers, smiling, "You're so smart, I'll reward you with some meat."

Then he picked up the mangled piece of wolf meat from Yu Yue's bowl and held it to Yu Jing's mouth.

Everyone had strange expressions, trying to avoid looking at the piece of meat and focusing on their own bowls.

Although Yu Jing didn't speak, her eyes clearly conveyed the words, 'Insane!'

She sighed helplessly to herself; the conductor's revenge had begun, and this was probably just the appetizer.

Yu Yue beside her was so embarrassed her toes were curling, regretting not eating the meat earlier without overthinking.

Who knew Su Huan would do something so childish in front of everyone...

Seeing Yu Jing unmoved, Su Huan regretfully put the meat back in her bowl, then turned to Yu Yue with Hong Wen, saying, "You see, she seems to dislike you a bit."

"Su, is Iron Sword Attendant my next target?"

The young man's voice was clear and gentle.

The strange atmosphere at the dining table vanished, and Yu Yue also let out a sigh of relief.

Xiaoba, recognizing Su Huan's playful teasing, cheerfully helped diffuse the situation for the two people.

Su Huan then shook his head seriously, "Your next direction is called 'Metal Construction', a profession focused on quickly constructing and restoring fortifications on the battlefield."

This was Xiaoba's profession in his past life, a career with potential to reach level five.

And it wasn't part of the wilderness system; he didn't know where in his past life it came from.

Later, he handed over the complete set of information to Su Huan.

Judging by the naming method alone, it seemed a bit like the company that produced "Firepower Hand" and "Dual Gun Wanderer".

Xiaoba chewed on these words, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Is this profession strong? How does it compare to 'Energy Storage Core'?"

Upon hearing this question, everyone perked up their ears.

Xiaoba was the only one on the train daring to ask such a question; if it were someone else, Su Huan would've already suspected them of coveting the conductor's position.

Su Huan pinched his chin and laughed softly, "Although 'Metal Construction' is quite powerful, its practical use depends on the person. As for you, I could easily control you with just one hand."

The young man pretended to be dejected, sighing, "I knew it; after all, I manipulate metal, so it must be conductive. Nevertheless, my ability and Su's are a perfect match—I use metal to control, then you electrify."

"Even when facing monsters we can't defeat, I can form a protective shield out of metal to envelop us, and the metal can quickly build defensive structures, which is perfect for our team..."

Watching Xiaoba happily gesturing with his hands to mimic the metal barrier, Su Huan inadvertently combined the current scene with the steel fortress that seemed to connect heaven and earth in his memory.

The memories flooded back too suddenly, and Su Huan felt his expression might not look good.

He quickly bowed his head to sip his drink to cover up.

But the cup was already empty, so he simply pushed it aside, "Busy all day today, feeling a bit tired. Xiaoba, I'll discuss the details of your profession with you tomorrow. Liang Kuan, you can drive the train tonight; the blood smell in the train is strong, easily attracting danger, so proceed slowly towards Qingchuan Province. We'll analyze the direction more closely in the morning."

"Yu Jing, we're about to enter the Acid Rain Zone; check the water purifier and each car's water tank to make sure they're filled up."

"Remember to bring the crew members. For basic tasks, assign them as needed. The two new Makers added to the crew also fall under your management, and you can attempt large-scale production of new materials that couldn't be spread before."

Su Huan assigned tasks to everyone.

Either tasks mentioned before or ones that came to mind during dinner.

Whether the workload was big or small didn't matter; it was mainly to help them find their place on the train.

In the apocalypse, having a purpose was more important than anything else.

...

Car No. 19.

From the car number, one could see the declining status of ordinary passengers.

However, tonight—because of new passengers—the mood was quite good, and a group gathered to inquire about outside matters.

"So, how's your convoy leader?"

Someone suddenly asked this question.

The man licked his dry lips and tapped the empty bottle in his hand, "Saying so much has made me thirsty. Can I get another bottle of water?"

Passengers hesitated for a moment, then someone immediately handed him a bottle of water.

It was refilled clean water handed out these past few days, collected after consumption, and refilled with meals provided each day.

So passengers weren't short on drinking water these days and readily shared.

The man took a sip, savoring it as if it were divine nectar, swallowed it after some time, and instead of answering, he asked back, "What about your conductor?"

The passengers instantly became interested, eagerly listing Su Huan's wrongdoings, accompanied by various curses.

The man listened carefully, stunned for a moment, "And then? That's it?"

"Forcing us off the train to collect supplies for him—isn't that cruel enough?"

The man frowned, wearing a look of understanding nowhere, "Didn't you say that was your ticket for boarding?"

"That's a ticket for three days of supplies."

"Did you choose to board voluntarily?"

This question was like opening a faucet, instantly releasing the passengers' bottled-up complaints.

"How, without a car or keys, am I expected to run?"

"Exactly! With zombies everywhere, how can we run?"

"My home is in Qingchuan, and I was working in Mojiang. This train is clearly heading north, so I had to get on! I'll just get off when we reach Qingchuan."

"I left home to gather supplies, zombies blocked my way back, and then I saw the train."

"Someone else pulled me on."

"Someone told me about it, and I'm not familiar with other places in Mojiang."

"It was extremely hot two days ago, couldn't stay home, and any vehicle was fine so long as I could escape."

"My car is in the underground parking garage, and I didn't dare go start it."

"You're lucky; thinking about my car makes me angry. My car was parked on the roadside and got hit by an idiot, denting the door and making it undrivable!"

"That Su guy knew exactly what to expect from us!"

"..."

The man wrinkled his brow, "Are you saying you voluntarily boarded and can leave at any time?"

The noise in the car suddenly ceased.

Several passengers exchanged looks and nodded.

"As long as the train stops, we can go out to collect supplies, or we can choose to run—Su won't mind because there's always new people boarding."

"The tickets cover meals for three days?"

Someone immediately sneered, "The Su guy isn't that kind; it's just that the train hasn't stopped these days—he's afraid we'd starve to death and won't have anyone to gather supplies. Normally, we fend for ourselves."
