124: Dinosaur civilization
On the other side, Luo Chen was controlling the Train, leaning down and heading towards a forest.
Compared to the open wilderness, a dense forest was much safer; with tall trees providing cover, it could, to some extent, prevent attacks from other Trains.
"Luo Chen, look! There are so many dinosaurs outside!" Third Moon, standing behind Luo Chen, exclaimed excitedly.
Following the direction Third Moon pointed, at the edge of a distant forest, in an open area, a large group of Triceratops were currently sprawled out on the grass, sound asleep.
In the sky, various strangely shaped Pterosaurs were flying, and it seemed they had spotted the flying Train, as they all began to attack it.
"Wan Ning, hurry! Activate the Train's Absolute Defense!" Luo Chen shouted upon seeing this.
The other people in the cockpit instantly tensed up at his words, their eyes fixed on the window outside.
Third Moon gripped Luo Chen's shoulders tightly, not daring to make a sound.
As Luo Wan Ning quickly pressed a button, a light barrier began to envelop the entire Train from its front, as if the Train had been fitted with a cover.
The frantically attacking Pterosaurs continuously crashed into the Train, making loud thudding sounds.
Dark, black blood splatters continuously bloomed on the light barrier, stirring up layers of blue ripples, but they had no effect on the Train; all attacks were blocked by the protective shield.
Seeing all the Pterosaurs' impacts blocked, the people in the cockpit breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, there's still a defensive core that blocked them!" Luo Chen said, still feeling a lingering fear.
If these massive Pterosaurs had crashed into the Train, the enormous impact force could very likely have shattered all the windows. They might even have broken through the shattered windows and entered the Train, bringing danger to them.
"It seems to be a Dinosaur Civilization!"
Next to Luo Chen, Luo Wan Ning looked out the window, watching the Pterosaurs continuously attacking the window, her tone somewhat uncertain.
She had made a prophecy last night but hadn't foreseen anything. She then asked Dongfang Yuyao to make a prophecy as well, and she also found nothing.
This situation had never occurred before. In her estimation, this meant that this stop not only had no treasure chest but was also extremely dangerous.
Luo Chen leaned against the window, his gaze fixed on a red-feathered Pterosaur attacking the cockpit.
"Species: Red-feathered Pterosaur"
"Description: ...carbon-based carnivorous creature... weighs 400kg, wingspan can reach up to 14 meters, body covered in red feathers..."
...Looking at the information provided by the All-Knowing Eye, Luo Chen nodded: "It should be correct!"
At this moment, on the other side of the seat, Xi Yue, who was in charge of monitoring the chat room, suddenly spoke.
"Luo Chen! The number of people in the chat room is rapidly decreasing. In just one minute, nearly a thousand Train Conductors have died."
Luo Chen quickly looked at the screen in front of her.
"Damn! What the hell, a large group of bird-like things are frantically attacking the Train; they shattered all my windows in two hits."
"A red-feathered Pterosaur has broken into my Train. I'm currently confronting it with a kitchen knife. Can any good brother trade me a gun?"
"I'm surrounded by a group of Pterosaurs! Which brother can lend me a weapon? If I survive, there will surely be..." (This Train Conductor is already dead!)
"Didn't they say that creatures outside the Train couldn't enter the Train? Why can they just break in? Administrator! Get out here and give an explanation!"
"Sister! The safe period has ended; that restriction has been gone for a while now."
"Everyone! Let's find a place to land! The ground is safer."
"It seems not only us, but others must also be suffering from these Pterosaurs' attacks." Luo Chen frowned, his mind racing, "Absolute Defense only lasts thirty minutes. We should find a place to land first. Being in the air right now is too conspicuous; it's a sitting duck."
Luo Wan Ning, hearing this, accelerated the Train towards the ground.
Watching the constantly changing scenery outside the window and the continuously crashing Pterosaurs, Luo Chen suddenly remembered the horned dinosaurs he had just seen lying on the ground and said again:
"Don't go to an open area; find a dense forest."
Luo Wan Ning nodded and quickly changed direction.
Soon, the Train crashed into a dense forest.
The enormous trees were a full 60-70 meters tall, and their dense canopies blocked out the sun. After the Train knocked down a large number of trees, the surrounding canopies quickly concealed the Train.
Luo Chen unbuckled his seatbelt, rubbed his chest, which was aching from the restraint, and stood up from the driver's seat.
He looked at Third Moon, who was sprawled over the control panel, helped her up, and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine! Just a little scratch." Third Moon shook her head, rubbing her head with one hand, and said with a smile: "Luckily, you strengthened me a few days ago, so my physical fitness is far better than before, but this hit will probably make my head spin."
"I'm really sorry! It's my first time controlling the Train, and I'm still a bit rusty." Luo Wan Ning got up from the driver's seat, looked at the others, her face a little embarrassed.
"It's okay!" Third Moon shook her head and gave Luo Wan Ning a slight smile.
"Let's go check on the others first; they don't have safety seats. I wonder if anyone got hurt." Luo Chen pointed outside the cockpit.
Luo Wan Ning and the others nodded. Then, everyone pushed open the cockpit door and walked towards the outermost carriage.
As soon as they entered, they saw...
