"You know when the train will stop?" Huo Shuangshuang retorted.

The two shook their heads. The train hadn't announced when it would reach the final destination, so how could they possibly guess?

If they could guess, they wouldn't be sitting here in the first place.

Huo Shuangshuang said sharply, "Since you don't know when the train will reach the destination, what makes you think I'd waste my money? What if the train doesn't reach the final destination and I run out of money? Would you lend me any then?"

Two consecutive questions made the young girl look displeased. "Helping each other is common sense among survivors outside. We're all girls, you're just too cold-blooded."

Huo Shuangshuang sneered, "I'm cold-blooded? Yesterday I saw you two eating the thousand-yuan all-meat noodle set! Today you have no money? I haven't even eaten the all-meat noodle set yet!"

When the young boy saw the girl being rebutted, he immediately spoke up: "If you run out of money, you can eat the free cockroach paste! We've all survived the apocalypse for a year now, it's not like we haven't eaten terrible food before! Do you still think you're some young mistress?"

Veins bulged on Huo Shuangshuang's forehead. "If we were outside, I'd skin both of you alive!"

The young boy started cursing at this, and Huo Shuangshuang wasn't some soft, timid girl either—she fired back with even filthier language than the boy.

The seated carriage was different from the standing carriage. Passengers sat in their own seats, and others couldn't randomly move passengers, otherwise they'd be thrown off by the train attendants.

Thrown off while the train was still moving!

The clown train's speed wasn't slow at all—it traveled at six hundred kilometers per hour. Even with the snow layer protecting the ground, getting off at that speed would mean certain death.

The young man was furious but didn't dare to act. "Just wait! I don't believe you won't need to use the bathroom! Once you leave your seat, I'll beat you up! Strip you naked and show you what a real man is!"

The corners of Huo Shuangshuang's mouth turned up, revealing a cruel smile as she pulled out a military knife and pistol from her backpack. "Fine, the carriage rules don't allow killing, but you'd better not leave your seat, or I'll turn you into a woman."

As she spoke, Huo Shuangshuang moved the gun barrel to aim at the boy's crotch.

She made a "bang" sound with her mouth.

The young man's face turned pale, not expecting Huo Shuangshuang to have a gun. "Don't be impulsive, we won't borrow money anymore."

"No, now it's my turn to borrow money," Huo Shuangshuang said.

The young man shook his head repeatedly, his eyes filled with terror. "No, you can't do this! You have a pistol, you must be from an official base! You can't attack ordinary survivors!"

"That was my former identity. Now I'm just an ordinary passenger," Huo Shuangshuang said.

The other passengers watched silently. From the two young people setting a trap for Huo Shuangshuang to Huo Shuangshuang threatening them back, none of them intervened.

Many of them carried weapons, but few were like the young man and girl who threatened others. Among the survivors who had lived until now and entered the seated carriage, how many were easy targets?

From the very beginning, they didn't believe the young man and girl would succeed.

Sure enough, they were right.

"Hand over the money!" Huo Shuangshuang demanded sharply.

The young man had no choice but to pull out hundred-yuan bills from his chest. "This is all I have."

"Not enough!" Huo Shuangshuang said coldly.

The young man was annoyed and pulled out some more. "Really, that's all."

"Not enough!"

"Don't go too far! Or I'll fight you to the death!" The young man pretended to be fierce.

Huo Shuangshuang had sharp eyes and caught a glimpse of light from within the young man's clothes. She recognized that light—it was the glow of a supernatural characteristic.

"Give me the supernatural characteristic in your chest!"

The young man suddenly stood up. "Don't even think about it!"

Huo Shuangshuang raised her pistol, aiming at the young man. "Give it to me! Or I'll turn you into a woman!"

The young man wanted to sit down, but as soon as he moved, Huo Shuangshuang's finger lightly pressed the trigger.

"Are you faster, or is my trigger finger faster? Do you want to bet?"

Become a woman or keep the supernatural characteristic?

The young man gritted his teeth. After a moment of hesitation, he took out the supernatural characteristic from his chest and said loudly, "Fine! Take it! This is far stronger than ordinary supernatural characteristics! It's called the Human Body Transformation Characteristic!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the carriage looked at the supernatural characteristic in the young man's hand.

A high-level supernatural characteristic!

This seemingly ordinary guy actually pulled out a high-level supernatural characteristic!

How did he get it?

By sheer luck? Or by stealing it from some base's treasured collection?

Many people felt tempted and wanted to make a move.

Huo Shuangshuang pulled out a rifle from her backpack. "My pistol has five bullets, my rifle has twelve. My shooting scores have always been perfect. I can perform gender reassignment surgery for seventeen people. Anyone who wants it, step right up."

At these words, most people backed down, though some quietly pulled out their guns.

"Girl, you're not the only one with a gun. Seeing means sharing," a bald man said as he stood up.

One after another, five people stood up, each holding a gun.

"If you want the supernatural characteristic, take out money to share with us, or give up the supernatural characteristic."

"That's right! You only have two choices: give up the characteristic or pay up!"

"If you can't pay with money, you can pay with your body. I don't mind you."

Tap tap tap~

The sound of footsteps echoed.

A man and a woman entered the carriage.

Li Xuan glanced at the bald man. "Put down the gun."

The bald man sneered, "Who do you think you are? Get out!"

Li Xuan retreated behind the train attendant and said calmly, "Lingling, go."

Huo Lingling quickly stepped forward. The bald man turned his gun to aim at Huo Lingling. "Don't come closer! I'll shoot if you take another step!"

Huo Lingling moved fast, slapping the bald man across the face, then pressed his head and smashed it hard against the train's metal wall.

"Think you're tough? Still want to act tough?"

The bald man's head was covered in blood, the friction sound making everyone's hearts pound.

Smack!

Huo Lingling snatched the bald man's pistol, aimed it at her own palm, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet was blocked by her outer skin, stunning everyone.

Then she clasped her hands together and bent the pistol in half with brute force.

"Anyone else unconvinced?" Huo Lingling scanned her territory like a lion.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Huo Lingling's gaze.

The young man raged for a moment but then just raged, reluctantly handing the supernatural characteristic to Huo Shuangshuang.

While Huo Shuangshuang wasn't paying attention, the young girl glared viciously at her. When Huo Shuangshuang looked at her, she immediately returned to normal.

Their original plan was to shamelessly borrow money from Huo Shuangshuang. If Huo Shuangshuang refused, they would keep harassing her until she lent them money.

They targeted Huo Shuangshuang because she was alone, a girl, very beautiful, like some base big shot's pet canary—probably weak-willed and easy to bully. She had been eating quietly these past few days without showing any strong side.

They never expected Huo Shuangshuang wasn't a canary but a killing eagle.

In the end, they definitely wouldn't have returned the money—money borrowed through skill, why return it?

They had considered the possibility of failure, thinking at worst they'd get nothing. They didn't expect Huo Shuangshuang to be so aggressive, pulling out pistols and rifles.

If Huo Shuangshuang had shown her guns earlier, they wouldn't have dared to have any wicked thoughts about her!

The young man sat down, looking depressed. This time he had truly lost.

Not only did they fail to borrow money, but they also lost their supernatural characteristic.
