BXBX NOVEL Chapter 47: Here, Eat This
Chapter 47: Here, Eat This
"What are you doing…" Zhang Qin Feng was going to ask what she did to get a horde of zombies following her. But she managed to speak first.
"Into the building! There\'s a screamer hiding behind the horde!" she pointed at the second block where the magnetic shutter seems to be still working.
The two rushed inside and quickly lowered the shutter to block the zombies. They were counted lucky to come across such a barricade that no zombie is capable of opening it.
Well, unless with brute force.
"Toot…" her Luna Device beeped once as it scanned the perimeter of the second apartment block. It shows that there were a considerable number of zombies are inside this building as well.
"We\'re stuck in the middle… Do you have any suggestion?" Satella asked Zhang Qin Feng. Since he\'s capable of coming here without alerting the zombies nearby, she believes that Zhang Qin Feng might have a way or two of his own.
Of course, this is where she misunderstood Zhang Qin Feng.
Indeed, Zhang Qin Feng is here safely without alarming the zombie hordes nearby. But that was due to his system and dimensional travel. If it was done by his own effort, it might take him more than a couple of days before arriving here.
"Let\'s clear the zombies inside this building first." Zhang Qin Feng said. Since they have no way out from this building anyway, it would be better to stick together and clear the danger lurks inside.
"Wait…Are you going to investigate using the pistol in your hand?" Satella asked as she was puzzled by Zhang Qin Feng\'s choice of weapon.
"Why? Is there a problem with using a small weapon like this?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. As he\'s only proficient with using the Phalanx X-02 so far, it ended up becoming his casual weapon wherever he goes.
But when it comes to a more dangerous situation like this, munition with heavier firepower is always preferable.
"There\'s no problem… But I\'m just a little paranoid. What about you use my Centurion S-11? I\'ll go with your pistol. As a girl, I am much more nimble compared to you inside a building like this." Satella said as she handed the rifle in her hand to Zhang Qin Feng.
\'Does her action means she trusted me?\' Zhang Qin Feng shook his head after getting rid of the self-appreciating words. He guessed that Satella might be only repaying the favor for the kindness he has shown her before.
"I have my own, don\'t worry. Let\'s follow your lead as we clear the floors one by one." Zhang Qin Feng decided to let her lead as he wanted to see how a veteran like her stays alive in a dangerous place like this.
At the same time, he pulled the modernized Centurion S-11 out from his backpack. With fifty bullets per magazine, it is indeed the firepower they need to swiftly handle the zombies hiding inside this building.
"Two zombies inside the apartment on our left. There might be one or two at the right unit…" she said. It would be dangerous for them both because both apartment units had their door destroyed, making it impossible for them to sneak across or hallway.
"I\'ll be alright. Let me take the room on the right. You\'ll cover my back." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"This…" Satella wanted to tell Zhang Qin Feng that she wouldn\'t mind taking this risk. But before she did, he already took the initiative to move forward. Sneaking with their back facing one another, They scanned both rooms at the same time.
*Bam! Bam! Bam!*
Three shots as loud as a hit from the hammer blew apart the head and the shoulder of the two zombies wandering inside the room on the left. As for the room on the right, it was empty.
"I\'ll get in and take a look." Zhang Qin Feng pointed the Centurion Rifle around and checked if there\'s any other target still hiding inside the apartment. The muzzle was finally pointed down after he confirmed that there was nothing else except the two corpses.
There\'s a hint of satisfaction in his smile as Zhang Qin Feng searched the apartment unit for any salvageable material.
\'To think that there\'s so much satisfaction from firing the Centurion S-11 Rifle…\' Zhang Qin Feng smiled. The kick from shooting using the weapon made him eager to keep hunting.

"Let\'s continue," Zhang Qin Feng put two gold pieces of jewelry into his pocket as he came out of the apartment. Moving into the unit across the corridor, he searched it together with Satella. It was a disappointing one because there\'s nothing inside, except some skeleton remains on the ground.
The two continued.
It was an excellent opportunity for Zhang Qin Feng to learn and experience how the survivor works together to stay alive while salvaging the resources. Furthermore, it also allowed him to notice a few differences between him and the survivors.
The first difference would be the efficiency of the Antiviral material they gathered. It was an entirely different thing because the concentration of the material harvested was just a third of the one collected by the Dimensional System.
And to collect the material from the zombie, they had to extract the sample fluid through a unique collecting tool like a metal lamprey.
The next thing would be the Recovery Spray, Serums, ammunition, and rations. It seems that their quality varies from one to another based on the quality of Matter and Substance Printer in their possession.
"I… I haven\'t thanked you for the help you give me last time. Are you hungry? I have some Grade-E rations here. Although they might not be as delicious as the Grade-A ration you gave me, the nutritional value is still the same." Satella said.
Her word made Zhang Qin Feng noticed another difference.
Based on Satella\'s words, it seems that this world no longer has any livestock running around. This means they\'re no longer relying on animal protein meat. Everything they\'ve been eating most probably comes from one same source, with flavor on top.
"Satella," Zhang Qin Feng called her after taking the ration and left it on the ground.
"Yes?" looking at Zhang Qin Feng\'s action made her nervous. Furthermore, there was a bed by their side waiting if they wanted to do the deed.
"Here, eat this."
