175: Giant jaw source species
Wu Que looked at the vast zombie army before him, and a desire to conquer the world surged from his heart. He turned to look at the female zombie standing in mid-air beside him, his voice filled with disbelief and reverence, and asked, "Respected Mother Zera, are you sure you want to entrust all these zombies to my command?"
"I have no interest in commanding these brainless things!" Zera's tone was cold, her gaze fixed straight ahead, not even sparing Wu Que a glance.
To her, Wu Que was just one of countless vessels chosen by their Scarlet Abbey to house the Seed of Decay, and not worthy of her attention.
She came here only to retrieve a seed that contained all the genes of this planet—the Jaw Source Seed. Any seed that gathered all the life genes of a planet could be called a Source Seed, but to distinguish between Source Seeds from different origins, the planet's name, as uniformly designated by Gods Guild, was often used as a prefix.
Zera waved her slender arm lightly, and a transparent light screen appeared in front of her.
The light screen displayed the interior of a cave, where a pool of blood lay in the center. Scarlet liquid continuously flowed from the cave-riddled walls around it, then converged into the pool through channels.
At the very top of the blood pool, a spherical object, nine-tenths filled with dark red, was constantly pulsating. It occasionally submerged into the pool and then bounced out, clearly concentrating the liquid within the blood pool.
Zera watched this scene indifferently, her eyes unperturbed.
Although this Jaw Source Seed was still one-tenth short of maturity, that remaining one-tenth could be completed in just three more days.
"Begin! Drive them all to the Wanderer Commerce Guild, and then unleash the zombie horde there." Zera waved her arm again, and the light screen disappeared.
Now that the Source Seed was nearing maturity, these zombie dinosaurs, which could not be taken away, would be useless. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, she planned to use these surplus creatures to eliminate another wave of Train Conductors, which would also fulfill another one of her tasks.
Wu Que nodded. Although he did not understand Zera's purpose in doing so, he knew that if he disobeyed, his limbs would be replaced with those of other animals. To maintain his human appearance, he had to diligently carry out Zera's commands.
Just as Zera flapped her wings, preparing to leave, her gaze inadvertently caught sight of an ownerless Train in the distance. She stopped flapping, half-turned her body, and said, "Oh, right! Remember to merge with the ownerless Trains; don't waste them on those lower-level beings."
"Yes, yes!" Wu Que nodded excitedly, unable to stop himself.
Possessing those carriages meant his Train could accommodate more zombie subordinates.
Watching Zera depart, Wu Que excitedly patted the Tyrannosaurus Dinosaur Zombie's neck and shouted, "Depart!"
Immediately, the Dinosaur Zombies on the ground and the Pterosaur Zombies in the air began to rush towards the location of the Wanderer Commerce Guild... Luo Chen returned to the Voyage. After settling Tao Ya in Tao Dai and Tao Su's room, he went straight to the conference room.
Luo Wan Ning and the others, along with the six women who joined last night, Wang Wanru, were sitting around the conference table, chatting and laughing. Their condition clearly showed that they had integrated very well.
Seeing Luo Chen appear at the doorway, the women immediately stopped, and the room returned to silence. They looked at Luo Chen with serious gazes.
The six women, including Wang Wanru, nervously straightened their clothes and hair. Last night, they had dressed up meticulously, but unexpectedly, after only one meeting, Luo Chen followed that Fat Man to another Train, rendering their deliberate efforts useless.
Today, to leave a good impression on Luo Chen, they had deliberately dressed up again before entering the conference room.
However, because there were not many clothes collected, yesterday's attire was already the best. At this moment, feeling helpless, they were still wearing the same outfits as yesterday.
Luo Chen sat down in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the six women, including Wang Wanru, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Last night, the lighting was dim, and he hadn't seen them too clearly. Now, upon closer look, they were indeed all very beautiful women.
He withdrew his gaze and welcomed them with a smile, saying, "Welcome to our Voyage! I hope you all rested well last night. How do you feel?"
Perhaps because he was managing more people, Luo Chen's tone now carried a hint of officialdom.
