Chapter 38: Chapter 38
[Alert! Alert! The zombies are likely agitated by the loud voice of the Screamer. The user is advised to put 100% caution against them!]
Stein's warning comes as soon as it noticed a complete change in the zombie's habit. The incoming zombie looks like it was injected with steroids right now.
**Bip! Bip! Bip!**
Zhang Qin Feng fired three shots at the incoming sprinting zombie. As for the Screamer, it was already gone after screaming out loudly.
One of his shots struck the hamstring of the running zombie, but the wound wasn't deep enough to stop it from coming closer. With only five more bullets still remained inside the cartridge, Zhang Qin Feng would have to decide right now. It's either leave or stay here to fight against the incoming zombie horde.
'Stein, show me my status panel and survival chance!' Zhang Qin Feng fired the remaining bullets in the cartridge and quickly replaced it with a new one. The Steel Dagger in his hand is quickly stored inside the spatial storage to make it easier for him to complete the reloading task.
[Toot!]

[Based on the system's evaluation, you have a 66% survival rate as long the number of zombies encountered was less than two at one time. The survival rate reduces to 55% with less than three zombies and 19% if the total number of zombies increases to more than five]

'Let's try to make it out alive! I can't be escaping each time when I am getting surrounded by them! and return a week later!' Zhang Qin Feng convinced himself and stabilized his shooting posture. With two hands holding the pistol firmly, he fired a consecutive three burst shots.
Two shots hit accurately on the head of the running zombie, while the third struck the throat. The running zombie fell and rolled on the ground for about two to three meters before it finally stops moving.

'Damn... There's no extra loot from the running zombie.' Zhang Qin Feng complained as he quickly makes his way out from the corner. Going straight along that narrow path leading further into the residential area, he reaches the site where the cars were piling up like a mountain.
'Huh... To think that it took quite an effort for me to come inside here... Let's hope that all the effort pays.' Zhang Qin Feng prayed that the loot over here is worth all the trouble he's having. After making sure that no zombies are sneaking around the staircase leading to the apartments upstairs, he moved forward.
...
"Did he went inside the residential apartment? What he's looking for? The area should be already raided clean by the scavengers." Satella said. She recently came back from one of the blocks, and there was no food to be found.
The two were actually stranded here because they were ambushed by a horde of zombies two days ago. Although they're safe right now, their food supply was almost exhausted. They might have ended up as the breakfast for the zombies already if zhang Qin Feng appeared a little later.
"Maybe he has a secret stash somewhere? Should we follow him and rob him to see if he has some food with him?" the other girl beside Satella asked.
"We'll wait... Let's stay here for a little longer. It will be best to see what he's trying to do before we act recklessly." Satella turned her head back to look at the apartment block Zhang Qin Feng went into. There's still a hint of nervousness in her heart because this man seems to be somewhat different from all the others she met before inside the survivor's camp.
'What is so special about him?' she asked herself.
...
[Hint of precious metal found. Please check the shelves under the display panel and inside the kitchen drawer]

Zhang Qin Feng felt like he was a bin collector running from one residence to another. Although not every home had what he was looking for, they still gathered up into ten to a hundred grams when put together.
Of course, there's a zombie or two occasionally in one or two of the units across the entire floor. They're likely the unlucky people that failed to escape when the virus outbreak started. Or perhaps, some that unwilling to run after seeing how terrible is the mess outside.
Zhang Qin Feng was exhausted after he went through five levels without getting a rest in between. This was also the far longest journey he ever had, where it has been close to three hours from the second he came here.
'Huh... Let's get a rest first...' Zhang Qin Feng accessed the rucksack behind him for a can of lemonade. Coincidently, Satella and the other female companion of hers were sneaking up to the level where he's at.
"Shh..." Satella made a fist sign and pointed at her ears next. It was their agreed hand signal that means they should stop and listen before making their next move.
The sound of Zhang Qin Feng finishing the entire can of lemonade before he pressed the aluminum can flatly make the two curious at what he was doing. It made them even more suspicious when he burps.
"Wo..." the whining sound of a zombie alarmed everyone present on the floor. But it surprises the two girls the most as the zombie was just a few steps from reaching them.
"Zombie! Zombie!" the other girl behind Satella panicked. Unable to keep the sound from coming out of her lips, she ended up alarming Zhang Qin Feng and the zombie behind them.
"Woo!!!" the zombie immediately lunged at her and went for a bite.
"Ah! No! Satella, help me!" the girl raised her arm to push the zombie away, but it was a step faster as it already bitten into her arms by the time she managed to put in some strength.
"Let go of her, you stupid zombie!" Satella draws the dagger by her waist and stabs it into the zombie's skull. The corpse fell, but it was already too late. Based on how contagious is the Seed Crystal Virus, this girl is likely turning into a zombie within an hour.
"Satella, I don't want to die! Please help me!" the girl cried. To someone bitten like her, it felt like her life was forfeited at this moment.
"You won't die... Let's get back to the survivor camp. I'll buy the Decrystallizing Serum for you no matter how much it costs!" Satella said. She turned herself around as she tried to get her companion on her back.
And that's when she saw a pair of shoes in front of her. Looking up slowly, she noticed that there was a pistol pointing at her.
"Please... Please have mercy..." Satella's hand trembled as she begged Zhang Qin Feng to not shoot them.
'They speak the same language as I do? Then, the communicating would be much easier.' Zhang Qin Feng smiled.
"Why are the two of you sneaking here? Are you trying to rob me?" he asked.
