[Safety off. The user is prepared to engage]
-
[Luna II activated]
-
[Four targets found. Proceed with care]
Stein\'s report came into his mind as soon as Zhang Qin Feng appeared in the post-apocalypse. He was immediately greeted by a zombie stuck on the fence as soon as his sight returned to normal.
*BIP!*
This time, Zhang Qin Feng was much calmer than before as he fired a shot straight into the brain of the zombie.
[Antiviral Material obtained]
[Duranium Shards obtained]
[Dimensional Charge refilled]
After absorbing the collectibles from the corpse, he immediately returned to the villa he left halfway. The door was still opened, but there\'s no longer any living or dead occupants inside. Even the corpse of the pitiful couple is no longer there.
\'Stein, scan the surrounding for collectibles and items useful for me to bring back to my world.\' Qin Lan ordered as he scanned around the houses hidden threats.
[Only common materials are available. Suggesting that the user select another house to have a look]
Stein\'s reply came as soon as Zhang Qin Feng finish checking the rooms. Since there\'s nothing with monetary value is left, there is no reason for him to remain in this place.
Going outside of the villa, he was greeted by the three remaining zombies scurrying around the street struggles to eat the remains of the zombie Zhang Qin Feng killed earlier.
\'What a sight. A dead zombie ended up eaten by other zombies. How come their numbers are still so large?\' Zhang Qin Feng asked. With his left arm supporting the right hand with the Phalanx X-02, Zhang Qin Feng fired a few shots.
*BIP! BIP! BIP!*
The three zombies fell on the spot without resistance.
[Antiviral Material x 3 obtained]
[General Purpose Ammunition 9mm obtained]
[Duranium Shards x 2 obtained]
[Dimensional Charge x 3 refilled]
\'Let\'s go!\' Zhang Qin Feng tried to keep himself occupied as he went from one house to another. This time, the loot was even better as he ended up leaving this estate area with six hundred grams of silverware in his back, along with 50 grams worth of scrap gold.
It was also the first time he went further off from this housing area.
[Answering the user\'s previous question. The reason behind their continuously expanding numbers is likely due to the failure of containing the outbreak. Out of 212 shelters, it was unknown how many have been keeping producing the zombies instead of living people]
\'Does that means I would have to clear the shelters eventually in the future to cull their numbers?\' Zhang Qin Feng asked. It seems his mission to repopulate this place is not as easy as he has thought.
[In a sense, the answer is yes]
\'Stein. Is it possible for you to get me a detailed map of this place?\' Zhang Qin Feng asked as he carefully walked down the road leading to another estate. There were still cars parked along the road, but the working parts have been taken away for a long time.
[It is possible. But to reserve the power for Dimensional Travel, it would be best to search for a mapping device that can be equipped on your wrist]
\'So be it. Pay attention to the electronics that worth salvaging.\' Zhang Qin Feng instructed Stein to take note after making sure the priority in this exploration trip.
Walking carefully for close to ten minutes, Zhang Qin Feng quickly stumbles across another housing estate. This housing area seems to be much wider than the one he came from.
\'Look at the mess near the main entrance… They should be in a rush to escape when the virus outbreak happened.\' Zhang Qin Feng shook his head as he looks at the skeletons buried under the wreckages. There are even luggage bags, burnt electronics, and other items buried down there.
\'Is there another way into this area?\' Zhang Qin Feng asked.
[Yes. The\'s a smaller entrance located two hundred meters from here. The user should practice caution here. Luna II scanner detected close to 60 movement signatures around here. There are also four heat signatures inside this housing area]
-
[Currently, it was unknown if the heat signature is a living creature, or friendlies, or foe. The system suggests that the user lure the zombies out and start clearing them first]
-
Stein\'s instruction was straight to the point. With close to sixty movement signatures resembles the zombie, it would spell trouble if he was surrounded.
\'Alright. Let\'s lure one or two out first.\' Zhang Qin Feng moves a few inches at a time as he approaches the side entrance.
But before he managed to accomplish what he was trying to do, two zombies loitered out of the wide-opened entrance.
**Woo…**
The two zombies picked up their speed at where Zhang Qin Feng is. By the time Zhang Qin Feng noticed that the wind wasn\'t his best friend today, it was already too late.
\'Stupid wind. To think that this ended up the reason my location is exposed.\' Zhang Qin Feng aimed his Phalanx X-02 at their skulls and prepared to shoot.
[Please hold on. The system would suggest that the user control his eagerness until the zombie is further away from the entrance]
\'Huh? Why the hell should I lure them further from the entrance?\' Zhang Qin Feng couldn\'t understand the system\'s option for proposing such a method.
[Based on their habits, the dead zombie is food for the still animated zombies. By killing the zombie around the entrance, it will create higher zombie traffic and hindering our progressive and escape route]
\'Then… We\'ll follow your suggestion. I\'ll retreat until we\'ve reached the obstructed driving entrance then.\' Zhang Qin Feng slowly retreats as the zombies followed him. In the end, seven zombies came along after they caught the smell of a living human.
[Now, user!]
The moment Stein gave the instruction, Zhang Qin Feng emptied his magazine. All ten bullets were used to take down the zombies.
[Antiviral Material x 7 obtained]
[General Purpose Ammunition 9mm obtained]
[Strengthening Serum (Diluted) obtained]
[Instant Recovery Spray obtained]
[Steel Dagger obtained]
[Duranium Shards x 5 obtained]
[Dimensional Charge x 7 refilled]
\'Huh… Huh…\' Zhang Qin Feng quickly replaced the empty magazine with a full one. His heart is still palpitating from the continuous firing.
[Dear user, the system suggests that you return to your own world now. There are two golden bullion coins on the fifth corpse. Please collect them before you initiate the Dimensional Transfer]
After informing Zhang Qin Feng what to expect, the system went silent as it waited for his instruction.
\'Let\'s go.\' Zhang Qin Feng said as he stands in a secluded corner. The steel dagger has now changed into two gold bullion coins, weighing around 50 grams.
