Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train
Chapter 444 - 271: Yeah, I Did It. Gonna Kill Me? (13,000-Word Burst!) (4)

The reason was simple. The level of modification on a vehicle indicated the strength of a team. A monster truck luxuriously equipped with a small Arc Pulse Cannon certainly belonged to a powerful and wealthy team, demonstrating both formidable firepower and affluence.

The monster truck, large in size, almost grazed the platform edge as it entered, then headed straight towards the ’Queen Mo.’

Hiss~

In a flash, the monster truck stopped in front of Monica and Shi Deyuan. The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a Mohawk, dressed warmly in a down jacket, swiftly jumped down by stepping on the running board. He then removed his sunglasses, revealing a long, thin face.

Meanwhile, three more people descended from the monster truck, carrying strange mechanical toolboxes and diagnostic instruments, following the man.

"Who among you is the boss of this vehicle?"

The Mohawk-headed man scanned Monica and Shi Deyuan with an air of arrogance.

Monica, sensing some offense in the man’s gaze, spoke coldly,

"Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The Mohawk-headed man furrowed his brows, then inexplicably smiled before directly ignoring both of them, picking up the communicator to shout, "Hey hey hey, Song, we’ve arrived."

Before he finished speaking, Monica’s subordinate, Song Hao, rushed over, panting as he addressed Monica, "Sister Mo, Sister Mo, they are the Golden City Team. You asked me to find someone to fix the car, right? I inquired, and they are very professional. Many teams in Xilan City have had their cars repaired by them."

Afterward, he promptly introduced to the Mohawk-headed man, "Captain He, this is our leader, Monica, Sister Mo."

"Oh~ you’re the boss, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

He Kun looked at Monica, seeming a bit disbelieving that the leader of a post-apocalyptic train with such powerful firepower would be a woman.

Though the man greeted her, Monica evidently disdained interacting with someone so evidently rude. She merely cast a cold glance and asked Song Hao,

"Did you finalize the price?"

"No..."

"How could I?" Before Song Hao could respond, He Kun immediately raised his voice seriously, "Miss, we are very professional. Quoting a price without knowing the fault is just scamming."

While speaking, he turned to pat his subordinate’s diagnostic instrument, boastfully saying, "Our Golden City Team specializes in resolving various repair issues. Our principle is a free inspection first, a reasonable quote later, and once the client agrees, we solve the problem, with aftersales support. We have over 20 mechanical engineers in our team. Whether it’s software, hardware, or military-grade vehicles, even if you only have a wheel left, we can repair it for you, absolutely professional!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Deyuan, watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but laugh, "Hahaha, what a brag, can you even make a whole one out of a single wheel?"

"It’s just a metaphor," He Kun replied blandly, "Anyway, no matter the problem, find us, and you won’t be wrong!"

At this moment, Song Hao sidled up to Monica and whispered, "Sister Mo, I found out that this Golden City Team is quite professional. They can fix any car, and since the inspection is free, I invited them over. After they finish inspecting, we can listen to the quote before deciding if we want to hire them."

Monica chuckled, "To quote 40 Blood Essence for repairing a discarded Electrical System train, do you think I’m stupid enough to have patience for them to examine my vehicle?"

Song Hao was taken aback upon hearing this, suddenly at a loss for words.

Unexpectedly, He Kun did not become angry upon hearing this. Instead, he put on a serious expression and said to Monica,

"Miss, from your words, I can tell you have a deep misunderstanding of us!"

"First of all, that’s not just any Electrical System train, but a 70,000-kilowatt Dragon-level Electrical System train. Its output power can pull 50,000 tons of cargo without issue. Moreover, repairing the Electrical System isn’t a simple task. It requires a major overhaul."

With a smile plastered on his face, he earnestly said to Monica, "And most importantly, it’s about time. With evacuation imminent, making that thing operational requires at least a dozen people working through the night. This is a matter of life and death. As the leader of a team, you surely understand the seriousness of this. Therefore, it’s not the discarded Electrical System train that’s valuable but the result you need to achieve that has this worth."

"So seeing it that way, 40 Blood Essence is not expensive at all. We’re merely taking your money to get your job done."

"Wow, what a talent for shady business," Shi Deyuan was amused by He Kun’s remarks, couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.

"Not necessary," Monica said.

Despite He Kun delivering a seemingly reasonable explanation, Monica appeared not to have second thoughts before directly refusing.

"I’ve already commissioned someone else to repair the vehicle, so there’s no need to trouble you. Thank you, please leave."

After speaking, Monica directly issued an order to depart.

Upon hearing this, He Kun’s expression also changed. The smile on his face faded somewhat, and he immediately glanced at Song Hao, pressing down his voice, "What’s going on? Didn’t you tell me it’s not fixed yet?"
