34: I won't offend anyone unless they offend me.
Early the next morning, a message popped up on the personal control light screen:
[The Train is connecting to a Fragment World]
[Extreme Crocodile Grassland, (Contains treasure chest)]
[Note: This is a Multi-Train World, with nine other Trains docked.]
[Train docking time: 2 hours. Train Conductor, please board in time.]
"The handgun, do you know how to use it?"
In front of the carriage door, Luo Chen handed a handgun to Xue Shang, while he held an M4A1 rifle.
"How do I use it?" Xue Shang took the handgun and curiously fiddled with it.
Luo Chen felt helpless; it seemed her original world did not possess such weapons.
He had no choice but to teach Xue Shang the techniques for using a handgun, hand by hand. Using a handgun wasn't difficult; she learned how to use it in less than a minute.
However, real usage still depended on practical application.
Xue Shang was eager to try out the handgun. Judging by Luo Chen's tone, this black object seemed incredibly powerful, and she couldn't wait to see its true effect.
"Wait, don't try it yet! Don't break the glass." Seeing Xue Shang holding the gun, aiming left and right toward the Train window, Luo Chen jumped in fright and quickly stopped her.
By then, the Train had stopped smoothly.
"There are quite a few people this time, so caution is paramount."
Luo Chen lowered his head to check his weapon and reminded Xue Shang.
This time, only he and Xue Shang got off the Train, while Luo Wan Ning stayed behind with the remaining people to guard the Train.
Searching for treasure chests was different from gathering supplies; having too many people was useless and increased the chance of casualties. It was better to stay and guard the Train to prevent others from raiding their base.
As for bringing Xue Shang, it was because she had Awakened, possessing extraordinary strength, making it difficult for ordinary people to harm her.
Opening the carriage door, a damp, grassy smell rushed over them. What met their eyes was a flat expanse of grassland, stretching as far as they could see.
Ten Trains of various colors were parked along the World Barrier, encircling the grassland. There were yellow, white, green, black, and red ones.
Most were three or four carriages long; two or five carriages were also present, but none longer than Luo Chen's were visible.
In the center of the grassland, a small river, fifteen or sixteen meters wide, cut the plain in half. Under the breeze, the river surface shimmered, and faint black dots could be seen swimming in the water.
"Mmm~ Comfortable!" Luo Chen took a deep breath, savoring the rare scent of the grassland.
At this moment, people from the other Trains also began disembarking, looking around.
From a three-carriage green Train on the left, a young otaku in his twenties descended. His greasy hair looked like a bird's nest, and his eyes nervously darted around.
Seeing Luo Chen and the seven-carriage Train behind him, especially the black rifle on his chest, he immediately showed a flattering smile: "Big Boss, morning."
"Morning!"
If others don't offend me, I won't offend them.
Watching the Otaku Guy approach, Luo Chen nodded with a gentle expression, his hand lightly patting the rifle on his chest.
A threat?
How can this be considered a threat? This is merely displaying the truth.
The Otaku Guy gave an awkward smile, constantly nodding and bowing until he stopped about five meters from Luo Chen, fawningly asking, "Big Boss, can I act together with you?"
At that moment, to Luo Chen's right, three men descended from a five-carriage, three-story black Train. They walked one in front and two behind, all appearing Japanese.
The man leading them glanced indifferently at Luo Chen and the two others, then walked straight toward the center of the grassland, aiming for the location of the treasure chest in the middle of the river.
The bald, potbellied middle-aged man among the three, who was closer to Luo Chen's side, kept leeringly looking back and scrutinizing Xue Shang's body.
Sensing the strange gaze, Xue Shang smiled faintly, pulled out the handgun, and shot the man directly.
Headshot.
The bald man's eyes instantly widened, a red, round hole appearing on his forehead, and he fell to the ground in disbelief.
The bullet passed through the skull and whizzed past the face of the leading Japanese man, causing him to stop abruptly, his expression horrified as he looked toward Xue Shang.
Luo Chen was observing the situation of the other Trains when the sudden gunshot startled him. He quickly raised the rifle on his chest, squatted down, and vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
In that instant, everyone who had been searching for supplies on the grassland immediately looked around cautiously, some crouching, some lying prone, and those with firearms raised their guns and peered around.
"It's not hard to use at all!" Xue Shang curled her lip, casually tucking the handgun behind her back, and said indifferently, "The power is decent. This Imperial Daughter will keep it."
Seeing Xue Shang's actions, Luo Chen knew who had fired the shot without needing to think. He lowered his rifle and said with a helpless tone, "If you want to keep it, then keep it."
He then raised both hands toward the others looking at him from afar, signaling that he held no ill will.
At this point, the remaining two Japanese men angrily rushed toward Xue Shang.
"That person, you killed my comrade without cause. You need to give me an explanation."
"What kind of gibberish is he speaking? I can't understand it," Xue Shang asked Luo Chen, looking curious.
"I don't understand it either," Luo Chen said, spreading his hands.
"I... I understand some," the Otaku Guy said fearfully, raising his hand.
"You even understand Japanese?" Luo Chen scrutinized the Otaku Guy, his eyes full of suspicion. *This guy isn't Japanese, is he?* He then asked, "Then tell me what he said?"
"Uh... he said why that beautiful woman killed his companion for no reason." The Otaku Guy secretly glanced at Xue Shang beside Luo Chen, swallowed hard, and felt terrified.
This woman is so violent; she shoots whenever she disagrees with someone.
"For no reason? How can that be considered for no reason?" Luo Chen crossed his arms and sneered, "That companion of his kept leering at my woman. That is provocation, and he deserved to be killed."
Xue Shang's face flushed red when she heard Luo Chen call her his woman. This stinky man finally gave her a status after doing something bad to her.
How could she, the dignified Third Imperial Daughter of the Xueming Dynasty, lose her virginity and not even have a status? What difference would that be from a prostitute?
Feeling happy about the recognition, she raised her chin, looking arrogant, "This Imperial Daughter dislikes people like that the most. If he's killed, he's killed. What reason is needed?"
The two Japanese men turned red with fury after hearing the Otaku Guy's translation. One of them reached for a weapon at his waist. Luo Chen reacted instantly, raising his M4A1 rifle and aiming the muzzle at the Japanese man's head. "Dare to make a move, and you'll be the next one to die."
The Japanese man's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, but ultimately, he dared not act rashly. People on the surrounding Trains watched this scene nervously, the atmosphere tense.
Just then, a series of gunshots and a low beast roar suddenly echoed from the center of the grassland, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
Seeing this, Luo Chen's pupils contracted. It seemed someone had already discovered the treasure chest.
According to Luo Wan Ning's prophecy, there were three Bronze Treasure Chests guarded by five crocodiles in the center of the river. The location of the gunshots and the roars matched her description exactly.
The Japanese men's eyes also flickered, and ignoring the confrontation with Luo Chen, they hurriedly ran toward the center of the grassland.
Seeing this, Luo Chen quickly put away his rifle and ran toward the center of the grassland.
At this moment, three white men from the Beautiful Country were standing by the river, holding rifles and wildly firing at the crocodiles. The bullets sparked upon hitting the crocodile hides but failed to inflict any damage.
"Attack together." One of the muscular guys saw the Japanese men and Luo Chen arrive and immediately shouted loudly.
