174: Half confiscated, half kept for oneself

"Thank you! Thank you!" Tao Li immediately thanked him excitedly. Being able to take the little baby away exceeded her expectations.

It seemed the Train Conductor wasn't as obsessed with beauty as she thought!

Tao Li looked deeply at Luo Chen, thinking to herself.

Suddenly, she caught sight of Tao Ya in Luo Chen's arms and said again, "Oh, Train Conductor, please take Tao Ya with you. She's unconscious now and can't help. She could help look after the child if she goes with you."

Luo Chen didn't refuse upon hearing this; he had already been considering something similar.

Mainly, the Ice Silkworm was still absorbing energy, and he didn't know when it would finish, so he had to take them all back.

That's right, that's exactly it; he was doing it for the Ice Silkworm.

A black spot on the Ice Silkworm's round head slowly moved upward. It glanced at Luo Chen and decided to absorb a bit more to buy its master more time.

"Hmph! You, Luo Chen, we're all helping, and you're just sitting here petting a cat."

Xi Yue ran panting to the second floor, looked at Tao Ya in Luo Chen's arms, and immediately put her hands on her hips, pouted, and complained.

"Then you can hold her!" Luo Chen rolled his eyes, pretending to hand Tao Ya from his arms to Xi Yue.

He knew Xi Yue had this playful personality, and he didn't mind her livening up the atmosphere. After all, there were no phones or games on the Train, and sometimes it could feel monotonous after a long time.

"No, I'm exhausted!" Xi Yue quickly shook her head and pulled up a chair next to Luo Chen to sit down.

Last night, to show off her strength in front of her two good sisters, she had been stubborn in front of Luo Chen once, which resulted in him beating her badly, and her legs were still a bit weak.

Subsequently, Noya, Xue Shang, Jiang Zhi, and others all came up.

"How's the situation?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

"Thirty-four people died, and twenty-six were injured. All are now receiving treatment." Jiang Zhi's tone was a bit somber; so many deaths at once made him feel uncomfortable.

Then, he looked at Ran Feng beside him and said, "One of your mentors also died. My condolences!"

Ran Feng was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then sighed.

He still had several works he hadn't had a chance to study personally, which was a pity.

However, when he saw Tao Lan beside him, the hint of disappointment in his heart completely vanished. As a seasoned otaku, cat ears were more attractive to him than a teacher.

Luo Chen wasn't familiar with these people, so he didn't feel too deeply about it; to him, it was just a number.

He asked, "How many people are there on the Train in total?"

He knew Jiang Zhi had added a large number of Train Conductors and passengers, but he wasn't sure about the exact count.

"One thousand two hundred sixty-two people. Most of them squeezed into the bedrooms, so they all survived safely," Jiang Zhi explained.

Luo Chen nodded. The mortality rate was less than three percent, which was quite timely.

"Throw all the dead out of the Train; otherwise, there's a risk of them turning into Dinosaur Zombies. Gather the living in a safe place. When the shield ends, you'll still need to guard against potential dangers."

"Train Conductor, are you leaving?" The others immediately widened their eyes and asked hastily.

Luo Chen's strength was evident to all. His absence now felt like losing their backbone.

Seemingly sensing the others' tension, Luo Chen continued, "Don't worry, I will leave the weapons with you until you reach the Wanderer Commerce Guild."

The crowd looked at the large guns in their hands and finally breathed a sigh of relief. With these, they feared nothing. No matter how many Dinosaur Zombies came, they would kill them one by one; they were all materials for leveling up.

Suddenly, their faces were filled with renewed vigor.

"Oh, how many energy stones did you harvest?" Luo Chen asked again.

"One thousand six hundred seventy-two!"

"Half goes to the public, and half you keep," Luo Chen said straightforwardly.

He wasn't a babysitter for them; when there was profit to be made, he still had to profit.

The others nodded upon hearing this, all without objection. Being able to keep half was already very good. After all, the weapons were provided by the Train Conductor, and other factions were said to take seventy to eighty percent, so the Train Conductor was already very fair.

After everything was arranged, Luo Chen returned to the Voyage with Tao Ya and the three women, Xi Yue, Tao Lan, and Tao Ya.

The other Catgirls had already teleported back to the Train... on a vast plain.

Wu Que was sitting triumphantly on a Tyrannosaurus Rex that was twenty meters tall. Beside him stood a woman with two horns on her head and three pairs of huge transparent insect wings on her back. The woman's face was pale, clearly a Dinosaur Zombie as well.

In front of them, countless Dinosaur Zombies gathered together, densely packed as far as the eye could see. The Pterosaurs in the sky were also a vast swarm, covering the sky.
