Capítulo 10: Chapter 10

"Woo..." a zombie wearing regular synthetic clothing walked around the villa. Based on how he dressed, Zhang Qin Feng deduced that this zombie shouldn't be an ex-resident or owner of this villa.

'STEIN. What about explaining the status panel to me and also this pistol before I ended up alarming all the zombies around me?" Zhang Qin Feng moved two steps backward. His back is still leaning on the wall as he asked.

[Understood]

Stein replied. The tutorial explanation went into a whispering mode as Zhang Qin Feng gets himself ready to scavenge for usable products around him.

[Physique reflects on the user's burst of strength. An average human starts with 1 point and can be strengthened or weakened depending on the situation. Because the user was a heavy labor worker back in your own dimension, your strength is slightly above an average human of 0.2 points. That's equal to throwing a punch as heavy as 120 pounds. It also means the user is capable of maintaining a posture of pointing your pistol up for twelve minutes]

[As for fitness, it reflects on the user's daily activities. Higher fitness represents better stamina, endurance, and defense. This status can be improved by continuous training]

[Response is harder to train as it came from intuition and experience. 0.7 points in this status mean the user is capable of catching one baton out of ten drops. Repetitive training may improvise this status. The higher is this status, the higher is the survival rate of the user in this world]

[The last row in your status bar would be the Foundation. This status was recently added after you practiced the Breathing Technique. You can describe this as the measurement of the amount of Purple Dragon Qi you have. This status of yours is slightly unique as it can be trained limitlessly as long the technique can be improved]

'Alright... So I would have four stats to start with... Strength, Vitality, Reaction, and the Foundation is like a passive skill that can be leveled up. Now, what about the pistol in my hand?' Zhang Qin Feng changed Stein's description to gaming feel as he tried to understand it in his own way.

[Codename Phalanx X-02. The pistol in your hand was the commonly issued pistol for the police force in this world with a built-in silencer, grip safety, and an easy to reload and release function. It uses a standard mag of eleven 9mm bullets]

Stein read the description of the gun out like it was repeating what was written in the book.

[Careful. The zombie seems to catch a hint of your presence. Advising the user to be on your move or slay the zombie before it alerted more zombies to your vicinity]

[After slaying the zombie, you can use the function of "absorb" to collect available materials from the zombie. Multiple resources are often available on them as they used to be a human]

'Noted. Let's move around.' Zhang Qin Feng quickly took a peek outside of the villa's entrance. He instantly caught two incoming zombies in his sight, with one of them still holding a dagger in its hand.

'Damn... There are two more to kill now...' Zhang Qin Feng clicked his pistol. But he soon noticed how foolish his action is because he can no longer hide inside that room quietly.

"Woo!!!" the first zombie that walked around the first floor charged to where the sound came from. It was not moving fast like a feral dog, but still, the feeling of a threat it gave out was enough to make Zhang Qin Feng's hand shaking uncontrollably.

[Calm yourself down, user!]

Stein made a few notification bells in Zhang Qin Feng's mind as it reminded him to remain calm.

'Yes... Calm down...' Zhang Qin Feng pointed his pistol at the zombie that coming to him at a walking pace.

'Now!'

*Bip!*

Zhang Qin Feng holds the pistol using both of his hands as he fired a shot at the incoming zombie's head. It went through the skull beautifully as the zombie soon fell on the ground with all motor ability is stopped.

'Stein, absorb.' Zhang Qin Feng gave his instruction and went to the door to inspect his surrounding. It seems that the shot fired earlier didn't attract the attention of the two zombies downstairs.

[Toot!]

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]

'Antiviral? Dimensional Charge?' three items pop up in his mind after the absorption. But except for the 9mm ammunition, the other two were entirely unheard of before.

[The Antiviral Material is a solution that can be made into different kinds of genetic fluid. They're one of the by-products that can be made from what is harvested from the zombie]

[As for the Dimensional Charge, it was crucial for us. It was a replacement of power supply equivalent to three mobile phones]

"Woo!!!" suddenly, the voice of a zombie came from the windows.

'Shit! A zombie is coming from the windows! Not only this fellow, but there's also movement from the staircase. Time to move!' after killing the zombie for the first time, Zhang Qin Feng's confidence is much higher than before.

'STEIN, is it possible to check how many zombies are around us?' he asked.

[That's possible. Luna II scanning function, open!]

[Toot!]

A sonar-like function spreads out widely about a hundred meters or so around him. Soon, Stein breaks the silence as it came back with a report in Zhang Qin Feng's mind.

[Four zombies in vicinity. One nearby]

'That would be you." Zhang Qin Feng pointed the Phalanx X-02 at the forehead of the zombie struggling around the window.

**Bip!**

Zhang Qin Feng took down another zombie and instructed Stein to absorb the material before leaving. Making his way quickly to the second floor, Zhang Qin Feng started to scavenge for usable items.

[Antiviral Material obtained]

[General Purpose Ammunition 9mm obtained]

[Dimensional Charge refilled]

"This!" his attention suddenly stopped at a glittering piece of metal place on the ground.

[Is there anything wrong with this silver plate?]

Stein asked.

'Yes! Yes! Yes!' Zhang Qin Feng placed the piece of silver around a hundred grams into his pocket and searched around for more.

'Stein, can you check if there's any precious metal inside this villa?' he asked.

[One moment, please...]

[Scanning...]

[Building foundation scanned. Material scanned. Scanning complete]

[Dear user, there's a trophy made from gold on the ground floor. Additionally, I've found two other similar silver pieces below the bed in this room]

'Tell me where it is!' Zhang Qin Feng immediately pushes the bed away to search for the two pieces of silver accessories plate.

"Woo!!!" one of the zombies on the ground floor had come up to where Zhang Qin Feng is.

**Bip!**

Zhang Qin Feng fired a shot at the zombie just like before. But his aim was somewhat inaccurate this time as it failed to hit the target at all. Feeling nervous, Zhang Qin Feng immediately fired two more shots.

**Bip! Bip!**

Both shots miss their target again.

[Calm yourself down, user! There are five more bullets in your magazine!]

"Huh... Huh..." Zhang Qin Feng's breathing get's much more nervous than before as he struggles to control himself.

The zombie then charged at Zhang Qin Feng as it tried to bite him.

'Get the hell off!' Zhang Qin Feng swung his hand with the Phalanx X-02. Using the weapon as a tool, Zhang Qin Feng knocked the zombie down as he fired two shots on the head before he calmed himself down.

[Antiviral Material obtained]

[Conventional Steel Dagger obtained]

[Dimensional Charge refilled]

"Huh... Huh..." Zhang Qin Feng tried his best to keep himself standing.

[We should leave, this villa will be surrounded by the zombies in less than five minutes]

Suddenly, Stein's warning came like a hammer that falls on his head.

'Wh - What? Did something happen?' he asked.

[Yes. The fight just now created some noise. With three rotten bodies inside this villa, this place will turn into a feeding ground very soon]

[Shall we go?]

Stein asked again.

'Let's return.' Zhang Qin Feng said.

[The transfer will commence in 3 - 2 - 1 - Go]

A bright light blinded his sight as he soon appeared in his own room once again.

'I'm... I'm back...' Zhang Qin Feng fell on the wooden floor with his hand still shaking from everything that had happened. The Phalanx X-02 that still in his grip was proof of what he had done.
