78: You succeeded in convincing me

In front of the girls' dormitory.

Luo Chen stared blankly at the several dormitory buildings before him.

Luo Wan Ning had only given him vague information—it was in a girls' dormitory called 309, but she couldn't predict which specific building it was in.

As for how he knew it was a girls' dormitory, it was because he had found a fairy's personal belongings within his prophetic vision.

"Hmm... which building is it?"

Sun Mengdie looked back at Luo Chen, her face flushed.

Luo Chen held out his hand, shook it, and pointed to the outermost building.

"Let's start searching from the outermost building!"

Then, Luo Chen landed the flying motorcycle in front of the outermost dormitory building.

As soon as he touched down, the nearby zombies swarmed towards him like hungry wolves scenting meat.

Sun Mengdie jumped in fright and quickly buried her head in Luo Chen's arms.

Luo Chen casually raised his machete and brought it down on a crazed female zombie that was attacking him.

In an instant, he felt a resistance; the zombie was not cut in half.

On its head, which was tilted to one side, a pair of pupil-less eyes stared fixedly at him, its flesh-covered teeth constantly opening and closing.

Has it gotten stronger?

Luo Chen frowned slightly, then, with a little more force, he pulled, and the female zombie's head completely detached from its body, falling to the ground.

"Ah! Luo Chen, there are zombies on the left too."

Hearing this, Luo Chen quickly turned around, raised his machete, and forcefully brought it down on another big-bellied, bald zombie.

As the machete sliced through, the bald zombie's head flew high into the air and crashed to the ground.

"Roughly the strength of a First Awakening. Compared to the unawakened Train Conductor, it's relatively dangerous."

Luo Chen estimated to himself.

After figuring out the zombies' strength, he had no more qualms and got off the motorcycle to clear them out.

There weren't many zombies nearby. When the Train arrived, it was around July. During the summer vacation, most university students had gone home, with only a small number remaining on campus.

After finishing off the zombies, Luo Chen took Sun Mengdie and crouched down, extracting the energy stones from the zombies' heads.

There were fourteen in total. Compared to Emerald Garden last time, they were a bit larger, which should be related to the zombies' increased strength.

Luo Chen gave the energy stones to Sun Mengdie to put away, then had her lead him straight to dormitory 309.

However, to his regret, Luo Chen did not find any trace of a treasure chest in this dormitory.

"Let's go!"

Luo Chen turned his head and saw Sun Mengdie carrying several backpacks, constantly stuffing small panties and large eye masks into them.

"Oh, oh!"

Seeing this, Sun Mengdie quickly zipped up her bag and followed him.

Then, the two drove the flying motorcycle and searched three more dormitory buildings. They didn't find any treasure chests, but they killed quite a few zombies.

They obtained a total of 69 energy stones, filling two and a half backpacks. Sun Mengdie was laden with backpacks of various colors.

In front of the fourth building, Luo Chen finished clearing out the zombies at the base of the building and walked into the dormitory building again.

However, not long after, five thinly dressed girls appeared before them.

Two of them were quite good-looking, reaching a good level of 75 points, while the other three were average, 60 points passing, appearing like ordinary girls.

Among the five, a girl with delicate features, wearing silk cartoon pajamas, actively stepped forward and extended her hand, saying, "Handsome guy! Hello! My name is Cheng Yihan. May I ask if you were sent by the imperial court to rescue us?"

"No! I'm just here to find something. You all can wander around freely, don't mind me!" Luo Chen shook his head, bypassed the group, and casually climbed upstairs.

"Buddy! Can you give me some food! I see you two are carrying many backpacks."

The outermost girl among the five, with a somewhat harsh expression, suddenly stopped Luo Chen and pointed at Sun Mengdie, who was carrying the backpacks, saying.

The other four girls' expressions immediately stiffened upon hearing this.

Where did this fool come from? Didn't she see the blood still dripping from the other person's knife?!

Seeing this, the four girls quickly distanced themselves from her.

"That's not food." Luo Chen frowned.

"If that's not food, then what is it? They're all bulging." Hearing Luo Chen's words, the woman pouted and became instantly furious. Having been hungry for over ten days, she had long lost her sanity, her tone filled with sarcasm, and she quickly spewed out:

"You, this man, look decent, but why are you so stingy? Didn't your mother tell you since childhood that men should defer to women? You have so much to eat, give me a little, it won't be much..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, a red line appeared across her throat.

The woman's eyes widened, and she clutched her throat in disbelief.

"I gave you face!" Luo Chen casually put away his machete, pouted, and muttered to himself, "Some women just aren't worth being polite to."

With that, Luo Chen ignored the girls and continued upstairs.

"She's gone crazy from fighting! She can't even recognize reality. No strength, yet she wants to fight for benefits with her mouth. She might as well eat more sausages; at least if she becomes a prostitute later, business should be good."

Sun Mengdie casually kicked the woman's corpse and quickly followed. Having followed the Train for several days, the risks of survival had long made her recognize reality; such a worthless person was only fit to be abandoned.

Hearing Sun Mengdie's words, Cheng Yihan's eyes lit up, and she seemed to grasp something vaguely.

"This, this..." The other three girls' eyes widened, filled with terror, but their hands tightly covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound.

"Handsome guy! Are you from those Trains in the sky?" Cheng Yihan looked at Luo Chen and Sun Mengdie's backs, quickly jogged to catch up, and asked in a low voice.

Having learned from the previous incident, this time she didn't block Luo Chen as before, but stood to the side, jogging along and asking.

"You are very brave!" Luo Chen glanced at Cheng Yihan, not directly answering.

"Handsome guy! I can feel this is my last chance, and I must seize it. This is my first time, I can be your woman. And I studied Seed Science and Technology, always ranking first in my major, so there's absolutely no problem with my studies."

Cheng Yihan understood that the man in front of her seemed to be in a hurry, so she didn't dare to waste any more time, speaking quickly as she jogged along.

Luo Chen stopped, paused, and asked, "You studied agronomy?"

Cheng Yihan's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly nodded: "Yes. Is it also the apocalypse outside? If it is, then talent like me would be of great value for restoring agricultural production."

"You have successfully convinced me!" Luo Chen glanced at the staircase; they had already reached the third floor. He headed straight for dormitory 309, saying, "I need to find something now. You can follow behind us and leave with us later."

Luo Chen recalled a phrase he always heard back on Blue Star.

The food of the people of Xia must be firmly held in their own hands.

Currently, food is mainly obtained through the fragmented worlds outside the Train, with no one producing it. As time goes on, it will eventually be exhausted.

If he wanted to live a colorful life in the future, he had to achieve self-sufficiency in food.

"Thank you!" Cheng Yihan's face lit up with joy, and she quickly nodded in gratitude.

If these outsiders didn't accept her, she would have no choice but to go to Wu Que to get the serum.

However, she was skeptical of Wu Que's serum.

There was no such thing as a free lunch, and the fact that Wu Que could provide serum for free was a big problem in itself. Coupled with the rumors that Wu Que and his subordinates had been gang-raping girls, as well as what happened last night, it made her even more distrustful.

But she currently had no other choice; besides Wu Que, there was only the man in front of her.

Compared to Wu Que, the man in front of her was more trustworthy. Moreover, his strength seemed to be even greater than Wu Que's.
