82: I don't want to die, really.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, a young woman of about 30 walked out from the other side of the shelf, holding a steel pipe and looking at Luo Chen with wary eyes.

"Hm? What a beautiful young woman! A slender waist and full hips, good for childbearing."

Luo Chen turned around, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he saw the woman who had suddenly appeared.

She wore large gold-rimmed glasses, and her flaxen hair was coiled at the back of her head, giving her a slightly cool and aloof demeanor.

She was dressed in a black tight-fitting short skirt, which accentuated her slender figure while also revealing a slightly bulging belly.

Her white silk T-shirt had a cutout design at the neck, exposing her long, slender collarbone.

She wore flesh-colored stockings on her long, fair legs, and matte black high heels, revealing her fair insteps with several raised veins.

Before Luo Chen could speak, Cheng Yihan, who was beside him, cried out in surprise, "Teacher Qin! You... you're actually still alive."

"Yihan. Is that you?" Qin Shuyao was equally surprised. The steel pipe in her hand suddenly dropped, hitting the ground with a thud that echoed in the empty seed bank.

She anxiously walked forward, bypassed Luo Chen, and grabbed Cheng Yihan's hand, saying, "Yihan, you're not dead, that's great! How did you get here? Has the apocalypse outside ended?"

Qin Shuyao anxiously asked a barrage of questions, and after speaking, her eyes fixed on Cheng Yihan with hope.

"No! But some people from outside have come in and can take us out," Cheng Yihan shook her head and explained.

"People from outside? You mean people from outside the school?" Qin Shuyao's tone was full of confusion; she didn't understand what Cheng Yihan meant.

On the night the zombies appeared, she was in her office organizing a paper about to be published—"A Method to Shorten the Growth Cycle of Plants in Space."

After seeing others turn into zombies and the chaos within the school, she, who usually enjoyed watching disaster movies, immediately understood what was happening.

The apocalypse had arrived!

In that instant, she quickly decided on a plan for the longest survival.

She quickly gathered the food and water in her office and hid in the seed bank. The door to the seed bank was considered the best in the entire campus, capable of resisting zombies.

Moreover, compared to the dormitory building, the academic building had the fewest people at 12 o'clock. Consequently, there would be fewer zombies and no threat from other humans.

One must know that while zombies are terrifying, what is even more terrifying is human nature. Without the constraints of law, various evil thoughts in people's hearts would be wantonly unleashed.

"It's like this..." Immediately, Cheng Yihan explained the situation outside, including the appearance of the Train and the fact that Luo Chen came from outside.

Luo Chen had not explained the situation outside to them; they still thought it was Blue Star, and their eyes were filled with relief.

Qin Shuyao opened her mouth and turned to look at Luo Chen: "You mean you need to find seeds for food crops?"

"Yes! If you can help me find all of them, I can give you a spot."

"No problem. I'm good at this!" Qin Shuyao turned around and began to select cans and sealed bags from the shelves.

"Potato"

"Rice"

"Lettuce"

"Radish"

As she took out each item, she called out its name and gestured towards Luo Chen.

Cheng Yihan followed behind, holding a plastic basket to collect them.

Seeing that someone was helping, saving him the trouble of searching for each item himself, Luo Chen no longer paid attention.

Instead, he walked to one side, picked up his personal wristband, and sent a message to Chen Yujun, asking her to come and transport the seeds.

"You wait here; I'm going to the girls' dormitory."

"Can I come along? I want to go to the dormitory to get my clothes and daily necessities," Cheng Yihan said a little nervously, clutching the basket in her hands.

"Alright then!" Luo Chen nodded.

"What about me?" Qin Shuyao, who was taking bottles, heard them about to leave and quickly turned around to ask.

"I've already arranged for someone to come; they'll be here within two minutes. Hurry up and collect everything, then go back with her."

"Two minutes? Are you sure? The door was broken by you, and if no one picks me up, I'll die here," Qin Shuyao pointed to the door that Luo Chen had damaged, a little scared.

"Don't worry, I'll clean up the zombies outside later, and you won't be in much danger."

"Alright... alright!" Seeing Luo Chen's firm expression, Qin Shuyao dared not say more.

He was the only man here; whatever he wanted to do, she couldn't stop him.

Before the apocalypse, women could speak equally in front of men. Once the apocalypse arrived, men, with their physical advantage, naturally held the initiative.

Luo Chen led Cheng Yihan out of the germplasm bank. There were only five or six zombies left outside, and he easily cleared them all.

As for the two female zombies from before, they lay on the ground, flailing. Luo Chen did not take them but left them for Chen Yujun to throw into the truck compartment and take away together.

If they were placed on the flying motorcycle, close contact would be unavoidable, and it would be very easy for them to get bitten, which was too dangerous.

After clearing the zombies and collecting all the energy stones, Luo Chen took Cheng Yihan back to the dormitory... "Is this your dormitory?"

Luo Chen followed Cheng Yihan into a pink-themed dormitory.

In the room, only one bed was made; the other beds were tidied up, clearly indicating that she was the only one living there.

Behind the door, there was a moved bed, propping up half of the door, causing it to open only a small crack.

Cheng Yihan gently closed the door, then led Luo Chen to sit on the only made bed.

"You are...?" Luo Chen asked with surprise, looking at Cheng Yihan sitting on his lap.

"I want to be your woman," Cheng Yihan whispered into Luo Chen's ear, her face flushed with shyness.

After seeing the colossal Train and the women on it who were much prettier than her, her inherent advantage of self-perceived beauty vanished.

Especially when Luo Chen later wanted to continue looking for women, she knew that she couldn't be the only one.

But how could she, who had always excelled academically, be content to fall behind? She had to take a step ahead of others to gain an advantage.

Especially since Teacher Qin Shuyao was still alive, she no longer had an advantage in terms of ability.

Teacher Qin Shuyao was much more skilled than her in their field. If only one of them could be kept, she believed that she would be the one abandoned.

To survive, she had to seize this opportunity.

Maybe she could even make Teacher Qin call her 'older sister'...

Half an hour later, Luo Chen stretched and sat up from the bed. This dormitory bed was too small, making it a bit inconvenient for him to move.

As for the time, it wasn't that he was that fast; it was just that there wasn't enough time, and he had to act quickly.

"Ding, congratulations to Breeding Vanguard Train Conductor ECB05240 Luo Chen for forming a bond with his twenty-second mate, Cheng Yihan, and receiving the Blessing of God: one purple core (soilless cultivation carriage) (placed in the gift package distribution box)."

He glanced at Cheng Yihan, who was lying on the bed with a look of spring in her eyes, and asked seriously, "Is this your choice?"

Cheng Yihan's originally rosy face stiffened for a moment, and after a brief thought, she nodded: "Teacher Qin is an expert in breeding and much more capable than me. I was worried you would abandon me, so I did this."

She knew that deception was useless; few fools would believe that a woman would immediately fall in love with a stranger she had just met and then go to bed with him, unless the woman was a fool.

So she could only answer truthfully, as sincerity is the ultimate weapon. She believed that the man in front of her was ambitious and would surely be moved by her sincerity.

"I don't want to die, really! I don't want to die, I'm only 19, I'm still young, I still want to see this world..."

As she spoke, Cheng Yihan's voice choked, and she started to cry.

"Don't worry! As long as you work diligently, no one will abandon you. I'm not like those former entrepreneurs who casually fire their employees."

Luo Chen patted Cheng Yihan's shoulder to comfort her.

"Mhm, mhm!" Cheng Yihan forced a smile and nodded.

Receiving a promise made her feel at ease.

"Hurry up and get ready! There are other things to do."

Luo Chen glanced at the time and urged her.

Cheng Yihan endured the pain in her lower abdomen and began to get up from the bed to pack her luggage.

To save time, Luo Chen also helped from time to time.

Outside the door, the sound of people constantly moving came through.
