44: Lao Luo, do you want a wife or not?
After sending the stones into the Train, Luo Chen drove his flying motorcycle, carrying Noya, to the other side of the Train to hunt zombies.
Xue Shang stayed behind to protect Luo Wan Ning and the others, assisting them in collecting supplies from the villa.
The combat strength of the women was all at the 65 kg level, so moving ordinary household items was no problem at all.
Moreover, before setting off, Luo Chen had already granted control of the flying truck to Luo Wan Ning and Chen Yujun.
Coupled with an electric tricycle, they had enough to transport a large amount of supplies.
He stopped the motorcycle.
He wasn't sure if the zombies here had been attracted by their recent movements and killed, or if they had been led away by others.
Within visible range, only a few old, weak, sick, and disabled zombies remained. Luo Chen picked up his machete and, like slicing a watermelon, quickly cut them all down.
After collecting the stones, he rode his flying motorcycle to the front of the villa.
A yellow and black Train appeared before his eyes. The Train had nine carriages in total, five on the bottom and four on the top.
At this moment, the doors of each carriage were wide open. Through the doors, he could even see zombies moving inside.
Zooming in, Luo Chen saw dozens of zombie corpses lying on the ground outside the Train, and several zombies were gnawing on a slightly bent leg.
Had everyone on this Train died?
Luo Chen looked at all the open carriage doors, a faint guess forming in his mind.
However, encountering this situation for the first time, he wasn't quite sure.
Parking the flying motorcycle to the side, Luo Chen began clearing out the zombies. The bow and arrow were too powerful, so Noya could only stand by and keep watch.
The zombies that had eaten people seemed to have become even stronger. It took Luo Chen over a minute to kill the four zombies.
It took nearly another ten minutes for the two of them to extract the stones from all the zombie bodies outside the Train.
Some stones were shattered and not collected, so they only managed to get 23 in the end.
But during the collection process, he also made an unexpected discovery: the stones were hollow inside, merely covered by a layer of skin.
He tried to split one open, and the liquid inside was similar to energy crystal diluted liquid.
The only difference was that the liquid inside the stones was even more diluted; he drank seven pieces, and his gene awakening degree only increased by 0.01%.
The effect was much worse than that of energy crystals, roughly a 1000:1 ratio.
Entering the Train, it was empty except for zombies. All the core-activated facilities had disappeared after the Train Conductor's death.
Luo Chen forcefully knocked on the wall, and the huge sound immediately attracted all the zombies inside the Train.
After resolving these zombies by chopping them down like firewood, Luo Chen arrived at the cockpit.
At the entrance, lay a female corpse, largely gnawed away, with only the upper body, including two large 'buns,' remaining.
Looking at the face, Luo Chen was stunned.
It was an old acquaintance from the martial world—Boda Yui.
What a pity! How great it would be if she were still alive, he could have given her to that kid Ran Feng, he likes that type... In the extreme polar ice field, Ran Feng, who was killing zombie seals, sneezed three times in a row.
"Damn it! Which bastard is thinking about me?"
He cursed under his breath.
He plunged his left hand's knife into the ice, pushed his nose hard, while his other right hand was now just a stump, constantly dripping blood.
Just then, a seal flew overhead and slammed heavily in front of him.
"Phew! I almost got my head eaten."
He raised his knife and chopped at the seal's head, but to his surprise, the knife got stuck in the seal's head.
The zombie seal, with the knife stuck in its head, began to attack frantically.
Ran Feng retreated in despair.
"Am I going to die here?"
Da da da!
A series of gunshots suddenly came from a distance.
Countless bullets struck the zombie seal, the ice surface splattered with snow, and the zombie seal was riddled with holes.
Following the source of the sound, Ran Feng saw a middle-aged man holding a Gatling gun and firing wildly.
The middle-aged man had the typical honest face, simple and unadorned, yet at this moment, he held a Gatling gun with a benevolent expression. This huge contrast made Ran Feng somewhat slow to react.
"Little brother! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and retreat!" The middle-aged man, seeing Ran Feng rooted to the spot, called out enthusiastically.
"Oh! Right, right!" Ran Feng fumbled in his pants pocket, relieved when he confirmed that the animal skin was still there.
Pulling the knife from the zombie seal's body, he clutched his right hand and quickly retreated... He clicked on the driving screen, and a line of information popped up:
[Detection shows all Train Conductors on this Train have died. The Train will return to its starting station in two hours.]
Below the text was a very small button: 'Merge'.
[Merge: You can merge all carriages of this Train. Please provide the merge Train number.]
He entered his Train number and clicked 'Merge'.
His wrist-mounted personal light screen then popped up a merge request.
After agreeing, he could specify the merge location.
Two carriages were added behind Luo Wan Ning's Train, four behind Dongfang Yuyao's Train, and the remaining three behind the purple Train.
They all happened to reach five sections; any more would require a white merge core.
Stepping off the Train, Luo Chen and Noya stood at a distance, waiting for the merge.
The Train head transformed into a beam of light, passed through the world barrier, and disappeared without a trace. The carriages then scattered into individual sections, flying towards where Luo Chen's Train was parked.
"Let's go! Continue killing zombies," Luo Chen called out to Noya, driving his flying motorcycle to circle above the villa area, searching for traces of zombies.
After circling once, he didn't see many live zombies.
Instead, many people started coming out of the villas after the gunshots stopped.
In front of other Trains, people were constantly moving supplies from the villas. They were all focused on their tasks and no one noticed Luo Chen.
The ground was piled with corpses, both zombie and human.
Luo Chen just glanced at them and didn't go down. With their heads blown off, the stones were most likely shattered.
Not far from Luo Chen, in front of another three-headed Train, An Su and a few others were surrounded by a group of people with famished, sallow faces, and a fierce argument was taking place between the two sides.
"Hmph! Which unit are you from? I want to report you!"
"I am the wife of Section Chief Hou from the Chief City Supervisory Office. Are you sent by him to rescue us?"
The group of people opposite kept shouting, one after another, and An Su could only try to calm them down with her gun in hand.
Lin Youzi, however, glanced around helplessly; she couldn't interject in such matters.
Suddenly, she saw Luo Chen flying in the air, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly shouted:
"Hey! Old Luo, do you want a wife?"
"What?" Luo Chen was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
The others, hearing Lin Youzi's words, all turned their gaze towards Luo Chen in the sky.
An Su, seeing Luo Chen, a rare smile appeared on her usually melancholic face.
Luo Chen parked the Train five meters away from An Su and the others, maintaining a certain safe distance.
"Look at all these beauties, pick whoever you want!" Lin Youzi pointed at the girls opposite and smiled at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen scanned them; there were indeed quite a few attractive ones. The saying 'money nurtures people' was true.
Especially since these people were descendants of prominent families in the capital, who knows how many years they had been nurtured by money. Even if some were starved, their foundation was there, and it was still obvious at a glance.
"You can also choose? If you are willing to be my wife, I might reluctantly accept."
Luo Chen deliberately glanced at the two large 'grapefruits' in front of her, smiling mischievously.
"Oh my! Won't that be a bit too fast?" Lin Youzi blushed.
On the other side, Zhou Zhi gritted his teeth, watching the two flirt, his heart filled with jealousy.
The moment he saw Lin Youzi, he was attracted by her innocent and cute appearance.
Especially her unique talent firmly captured his gaze, but he could only sneak glances, not even daring to look directly.
Yet Luo Chen could stare directly at her without making Lin Youzi angry, which infuriated him.
"Hey! You, surnamed Luo, do you want this person?" He couldn't help but shout in anger.
Luo Chen ignored him completely. There was no need to bother with such impotently furious people.
An Su glared at him fiercely, then came up to Luo Chen and said:
"Train Conductor Luo, there are too many people here, and we don't have enough food on our Train to support them. How about you take some of them?"
