79: Chapter 79: Stripped of the Train's Core, the Young Marshal's Humiliating End.

That absolute fear, stemming from biological instinct toward an apex predator, had completely stripped away their courage to resist.

Su Chen tilted his head slightly, casting a cold gaze toward the Valkyries nearby who were watching with faces full of excitement.

He casually snapped his fingers, his tone carrying a sense of bandit logic as if it were only natural.

"Zhang Man, take some people up."

"Since this Young Marshal traveled all this way to bring us such a grand gift, wouldn't it be impolite for train no. 0099 not to accept it?"

"Go and dig out the [level 2 military train core] from this flagship for me. That thing is barely worthy of our Qingyu's mechanical workbench."

Hearing the Train Master's overbearing command, Zhang Man, who had long been eager to act, suddenly burst into a fit of excited laughter like a tigress.

"As you command, my peerless overlord!"

With a wave of her hand, Zhang Man led Chu Qingxue, Lin Momo, and several other stunning Valkyries as they swaggered toward the Northern Military District's flagship train.

Five beautiful girls with enchanting figures and peerless looks climbed up the boarding ladder with utter arrogance, right under the noses of a group of fully armed military men.

The elite guards stationed at the doors were now as stiff as wooden posts, forced to watch helplessly as this group of female bandits broke into their highest military secret area.

"If you don't want to die, get out of my way. Don't get my new armor dirty."

Zhang Man unceremoniously kicked aside a metal storage cabinet blocking her path. Her tyrannical posture scared several staff officers into scrambling and crawling into the corners.

Lin Momo playfully tossed her pink microphone up and down in her hand.

"Big brothers in uniform, it's best not to move. My microphone misfires very easily. It wouldn't be pretty if I vibrated your brains out."

To these soldiers, her soft, cute, and sweet voice sounded a hundred times more terrifying than a death warrant from a hellish demon.

Chu Qingxue didn't even bother to spare a glance at these defeated generals.

She walked straight to the explosion-proof door of the engine room, which was twenty centimeters thick and required a complex dual password of retina and fingerprint scans to open.

"S-rank Extreme Cold Frost."

Chu Qingxue's pale, jade-like hand pressed lightly against the door, and an azure chill instantly spread across it.

In less than three seconds, the high-grade alloy door, claimed to be blast-proof even against plastic explosives, was frozen into a fragile ice sculpture.

Boom!

Zhang Man stepped forward and casually swung her fist, encased in exoskeleton armor. The door shattered into icy shards like glass.

In the center of the engine room, a high-order mechanical core the size of a basketball, emitting a deep blue glow with countless precision gears and energy circuits spinning frantically inside, floated quietly within a magnetic confinement device.

This was the out-of-print treasure that the entire Northern Military District had spent countless efforts and resources to barely excavate from an Old Era military ruin—the [level 2 military train core].

"Good stuff. Little sister Qingyu will definitely be so happy she won't be able to sleep."

Zhang Man grinned, completely ignoring the flashing red alarm lights nearby as she used her Steel Body hands to rip out all the high-voltage cables connected to the core.

Amidst a burst of blinding electrical sparks, this precious core, symbolizing the heart of the Northern Military District's flagship, was picked up by Zhang Man as easily as picking an apple.

As the core was forcibly stripped away, the massive flagship train instantly let out a wail like a dying behemoth.

All the lights in the carriages flickered a few times before going out completely. The radar and fire control systems that were still running also fell into total paralysis.

The backbone was crippled; the flagship was destroyed.

This steel legion, which had once been invincible and overbearing in the North China region, met its most humiliating and absolute darkest hour since its founding today.

Holding the blue-glowing core, Zhang Man led her sisters as they jumped down from the train like victorious generals, respectfully handing the spoils of war to Su Chen.

Su Chen took the heavy military core with one hand, a satisfied glint imperceptibly flashing in his deep eyes.

His server-unique SSS-rank talent, [Omni-Modification], already sent out a craving to frantically devour and restructure this core.

With this item, his [abyss roarer] would definitely undergo an unprecedented and terrifying leap in performance.

Su Chen casually tossed the core into his storage space.

Then, he turned around, leaving his back to the group of regular soldiers who were still in extreme terror.

"Take this piece of trash you call a Young Marshal and get back to your northern nest immediately."

Su Chen's bone-chilling voice carried on the wasteland wind, clearly entering everyone's ears.

"Remember what I said today."

"If any broken-down car painted with your military camouflage dares to step half a foot into the territory where my train no. 0099 travels..."

"I don't mind taking a trip to your headquarters personally and wiping your so-called military district off the map of this wasteland!"

"Kill without mercy!"

These words were like three cold swords stabbing into the hearts of all the soldiers, making them shudder violently.

Su Chen didn't bother with this rabble that had been completely scared out of their wits.

He walked with composed steps, leading the group of stunningly beautiful yet violent Valkyries back toward his dark-gold heavy armored train.

It wasn't until Su Chen's figure completely disappeared behind the heavy hatch of the [abyss roarer]...

...that those Northern Military District soldiers seemed to wake from a dream, letting out bursts of terrified cries.

Like a swarm of headless flies, they rushed forward in a panic to dig the Young Marshal, Long Chen—who had completely fainted from extreme humiliation and unbearable pain—out of the crater.

The military doctors were sweating profusely as they injected him with various emergency medicines, fearing this young master would die so pathetically in the wilderness.

The rest of them desperately started the backup power, driving the remaining intact trains and frantically turning them around like stray dogs, fleeing for their lives back toward the north.

They had only one thought in their minds now: to escape this terrifying area ruled by a demon king, the further the better!

This once-arrogant Young Marshal, who considered himself a child of destiny...

...had ultimately become a complete joke in the face of Su Chen's absolutely invincible and overbearing power, a miserable piece of rubble on Su Chen's path to conquering the wasteland.

Meanwhile.

Inside the luxurious panoramic living area on the second floor of the [abyss roarer].

The Blood Clan Duchess, Serena, who had been standing by the bulletproof glass window taking in everything that happened outside...

...was now tightly clutching her proud, heaving chest with her slender hand encased in a black velvet glove.

On her pale and beautiful face, a rare, sickly blush appeared due to extreme shock and a strange excitement.

"Unbelievable..."

"The blood qi energy emanating from that Half-Dragon named Long Chen would definitely rank him as a top-tier powerhouse even before the most ancient Princes of our Blood Clan."

"Yet, in front of the Train Master, he didn't even have the right to resist before being trampled into a cripple!"

In Serena's dark red eyes, her awe of Su Chen had now climbed to an unsurpassable peak.

She even felt waves of lingering fear.

If she hadn't been instantly suppressed by Su Chen's Monarchs Halo at the Rose Secret Platform and had chosen to continue provoking this terrifying man with her mental power...

...then by now, she would likely have been torn to pieces by Su Chen's irrational and terrifying physical strength, without even a drop of noble Blood Clan blood remaining.

"How fortunate... I am truly so fortunate."

Serena bit her red lip slightly, her long, beautiful legs feeling a bit weak as she sank onto the soft Persian carpet.

She had not only completely retracted her pride as a Blood Clan Duchess, but deep in her heart, a bizarre desire to completely submit to this peerless overlord and be violently conquered by his strong arms had emerged.

For ancient creatures like them who revered the strong, Su Chen's invincible posture of slaying a dragon with his bare hands was simply the world's most lethal aphrodisiac.

Click.

The automatic doors of the second-floor living area slid open to both sides.

Su Chen's tall and upright figure, carrying a lingering scent of wild hormones, strode into the carriage.

Without even taking off his trench coat, which was stained with a bit of dust, he leaned lazily back into the large, comfortable leather sofa in the master seat.

"The Train Master has worked hard~~"

Liu Ruyan, the Chief Medical Researcher who had been waiting nearby, immediately wound herself around him as smoothly as a beautiful snake smelling blood.

She had specially changed into a modified white nurse uniform today that was so tight it almost seemed ready to burst. Her long legs, wrapped in ultra-thin white silk stockings, naturally crossed beside Su Chen's thigh.

"Quickly, let Ruyan see, did punching that crude beast just now hurt your noble fingers?"

Liu Ruyan's seductive almond eyes seemed to overflow with moisture. She held Su Chen's broad palm, rubbing it gently against her soft cheek with an expression of great distress, her sweet voice enough to steal one's soul.

"That kind of trash isn't even qualified to break my skin."

Su Chen chuckled and dominantly wrapped his arm around Liu Ruyan's slender, snake-like waist, locking this mature and seductive beauty tightly in his embrace.

"However, after the fight, I do feel a bit thirsty."

Hearing the Train Master's words, Chu Qingxue, who stood nearby like an icy mountain lotus, sensibly brought over a glass of premium red wine that had just been chilled using her S-rank ability.

Although there was no expression on her cold and beautiful face, there was an undisguised tenderness and submission in her pale hands as she offered the wine.
