Chapter 10
'STEIN, activate the Luna II for me, please.' said the person hiding behind the wall with a gun in his hand. About a week ago, he was still a nobody back in where he came. But right now, he's counted as a well-trained survivor.
[Luna II activated]
[A total of eleven targets is found. Proceed with care]
'Alright. Let's get rid of these things and return to the base.' the person stretched his neck slightly and proceed with caution.
The "things" he mentioned are a kind of walking corpse. Mainly known as a zombie from the blockbuster movies, games, and novels. But no matter how it was called, these things now exist all over the place.
If he was following the script from a movie, running away should be his first option. But unfortunately, for Zhang Qin Feng, the pay from hunting the zombies is more lucrative than working for a part-time job from where he came.
The pistol in his hand, codename "Phalanx X-02," was the most reliable weapon in his hand. Although it only has a single-shot mode, the pistol's low recoil and muffled caliber made it a suitable weapon for him to hunt the zombies as a solo-player.
"Woo…" one of the eleven targets moved across the hallway where Zhang Qin Feng was hidden earlier. As expected, its movement is dull when there was no target for it to be aggravated.
(Bip!)
'Go to sleep.' Zhang Qin Feng killed the zombie in a single shot quietly. But no matter how careful he was, a sound is bound to alert the other zombies when the one he killed collapsed on the ground.
Almost instantly, the ten remaining targets started to move faster than before.
'STEIN, absorb the material.' Zhang Qin Feng ordered. A scanning light soon appeared from the device on his wrist and scanned the dead corpse from head to toe.
[Antiviral Material obtained]
[General Purpose Ammunition 9mm obtained]
[Dimensional Charge refilled]
"Ceh… Only two damn bullets and some Antiviral Material. What a terrible loot." Zhang Qin Feng quickly positioned himself by moving from the hallway into a safer room.
Of course, the meaning of "safer" varies from one person to another. Zhang Qin Feng's safer does not mean that the door can be locked or because it has another exit. It was safer because there's a heavy cabinet that can be used to block the door when sh*t happens.
"Woo…" his next target finally reaches the floor he's at. Using its keen sense of smell, the zombie went straight to the corpse lying on the ground and started to tear the flesh starting from the legs.
Zhang Qin Feng slowly moves to a spot that would allow him to get a more precise shot, but his effort went to waste faster than it took Stein to scan the dead body.
More zombies are heard walking along the hallway. He's out of time and opportunity to clear the zombies one by one. Waited calmly behind the door that cannot be shut tight, Zhang Qin Feng pointed his pistol at a height likely to be where the zombie's head is located.
"Woo…" a zombie finally turned itself into death as it pushed open the door and walked inside.
(Bip!)
Another bullet is fired from that muffled pistol caliber as it took the life of the zombie. This time, STEIN worked automatically.
[Antiviral Material obtained]
[General Purpose Ration obtained]
[Dimensional Charge refilled]
'A packet of biscuits?'
'You must be joking with me… Can't you drop a grenade or two for me??' Zhang Qin Feng complained, but his hand never stops.
"Roar!!!" finally, it gets serious. The roar from a zombie staring straight at Zhang Qin Feng alarmed all the other zombies fighting for the dead flesh on the ground. In an instant, seven out of the nine remaining zombies came straight to the room he's in.
'It's time to get serious.' Zhang Qin Feng whispered. He fired a shot at the string holding the cabinet once the door is broken apart by the charging zombies.
"Ro - Roar!" two zombies were crushed on the bottom of the cabinet.
"Alright, two more kills before I have to start planning my escape. Eat this, s**ker!" Zhang Qin Feng aimed his pistol on the two zombies struggling on the ground and fired a few consecutive shots.
As there was no time for him to pay attention to STEIN's report, he decided to ignore it. He then aimed his beloved Phalanx at the zombies struggling with the cabinet while retreating closer to the windows.
It was time for him to check his battle report.
[Antiviral Material obtained]
[General Purpose Ammunition 9mm obtained]
[Duranium Shards obtained]
[Dimensional Charge refilled]
'Great. There's something good this time.' Zhang Qin Feng smiled the moment he saw the Duranium Shards is on the list. With a total of five zombies was killed, there are six more to go.
That… If the zombie from nearby is not alerted and coming over to play with him.
Of course, a part of his reasons for not moving to the highest floor was because Zhang Qin Lan is not confident with his ability. Although there's Stein by his side helping, it still takes him a lot of experience and guts to be able to do what the main cast in those zombies movies often did.
To a plain character like him, being able to respond while the door outside is full of zombies is already counted as doing very well.
(Bip! Bip! Bip!)
Zhang Qin Feng fired three more shots. Two failed to deliver a fatal wound at the zombies, but one was lucky enough to hit a zombie on its head. After it was scanned by Stein, Zhang Qin Lan prepared to leave the room using a rope.
'Let's go. There's no point staying here now as the cabinet's destruction is just a matter of time.' Zhang Qin Feng pulled the rope he tied on the balcony's column hard to test its durability. After he's done, Zhang Qin Lan immediately makes a drop towards the lower level.
[Antiviral Material obtained]
[Duranium Shards obtained]
[Dimensional Charge refilled]
A delightful report came the moment his foot landed firmly on the ground.
"STEIN, how's the dimensional charge going? Is there enough energy to go back?" Zhang Qin Feng asked while sprinting over to a house he assumes to be safe from zombies.
[Dimensional Charge ready. A transfer can be initiated at any time]
'Great." Zhang Qin Feng made a fist bump as he secured his retreating path.
"Roar!!!" a loud howl can be heard from where he just left. Turning his head back at where the noise came from, he noticed that there's no longer time for him to mess around.
A few zombies already made their rough landing onto the ground when Zhang Qin Feng is done turning his head around. Based on their mobility and keen sense as a flesh hunter, it won't take them more than a few minutes to catch up with him.
'D*mn it! And I thought I have a little more time before they followed my footstep." Zhang Qin Feng cursed in his mind because the cabinet he assumes to be durable would lose its uses in less than 5 minutes.
"ROAR!!!" a howl from close proximity alerted Zhang Qin Feng.
Who would have thought there will be a stray zombie between Zhang Qin Feng and the abandoned house across the street?
"STEIN! NOW!" Zhang Qin Feng yelled.
In that instant, his surrounding changed. Feeling like he entered a vast space filled with light, he soon appeared in a messy room with some sexy calendar girls' poster sticks on the wall.
Failed to control his momentum, Zhang Qin Feng slammed onto the wall with his forehead landed accurately on the two pointed stars on the poster. If this wall were made of wooden partition instead of bricks, perhaps it would already collapse by now.
