"This building is so strange, it doesn't look like a surface structure, but more like the basement beneath the core laboratory building!"
"It must have been accidentally dug out by the initial random destruction caused by the giant crocodile monster yesterday!"
Ye Feng pointed to a broken building in front of him, which had been uprooted and planted upside down, and replied.
"There are no windows, only ventilation ducts. It really doesn't look like a surface building!"
Ling Xi chimed in.
"Let's go take a look!"
After a moment's thought, Ye Feng decided to go inside and explore for any good items.
"Okay~"
...
Half an hour later,
"We're rich!"
Ye Feng held a square box, grinning from ear to ear.
The place they had just entered was, strictly speaking, the vault within the basement of the core laboratory.
It stored a large amount of enhanced serum. Although it had all been destroyed by the crocodile people, Ye Feng didn't care much.
That kind of strength enhancement method with huge side effects and instability was not what he wanted!
The box Ye Feng held contained a full set of spatial rift fragments.
Counting them, there were a total of 60 pieces!
These spatial rift fragments were likely intended by the people in the laboratory to store items before the zombie outbreak in Zhanbi City. The items they intended to store were probably enhanced serums.
After all, enhanced serums were very important to them, and storing them within spatial rifts was a highly suitable preservation method!
It was just that they hadn't had time to use them...
Afterward, Ye Feng opened his personal information panel.
[Name: Ye Feng]
[Strength: 230 (Normal human: 8)]
[Agility: 230 (Normal human: 8)]
[Intelligence: ?]
[Precision: 10 (Normal human: 2)]
[Available Points: 812]
[Precision Points: 0]
"The available points are a bit low..."
Seeing the 812 in the available points column, Ye Feng frowned slightly.
Including the 60 spatial rift fragments obtained today, plus those obtained previously in Fengye Town, and the ones given by Ling Xi, he currently possessed 138 spatial rift fragments.
At full capacity, this would allow his portable storage space to increase by 6 cubic meters.
However, the available points Ye Feng needed were not enough. Even if he had enough spatial rift fragments, he would still need 1200 available points...
Inevitably, Ye Feng's gaze drifted towards the staggering figure not far away...
...
For the next few days,
Ye Feng spent his time killing zombies in Zhanbi City, only pausing for meals and sleep.
This was thanks to Ye Feng having invested heavily in strength, which allowed his body to recover quite well; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure it.
...
One noon,
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Ling Xi had just finished lunch.
"Little one, are you going to chop zombies again?"
Ling Xi frowned as she watched Ye Feng, holding his Tang sword, heading towards a group of zombies.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Ye Feng looked at Ling Xi with some confusion.
"Why do you keep chopping zombies? It's been days!"
In fact, this question had been on Ling Xi's mind for a long time.
For the past few days, Ye Feng had been either killing zombies or on his way to kill zombies...
And he had even told himself and Xiao Xiao not to help with killing zombies!
Ling Xi had initially thought Ye Feng wanted to carve a path through the zombie horde to leave the area, but Ye Feng didn't seem to have that intention.
She had also considered that Ye Feng might have lost important family members to the zombies and wanted to kill them for vengeance!
However, after observing him, she found that Ye Feng didn't display any feeling of revenge when killing zombies; he simply seemed a little happy!~
As for Ye Feng using zombie killing to train his skills, Ling Xi found it a bit far-fetched. Those zombies had no combat skills at all, only instinctual biting and scratching...
But if Ye Feng was inherently cruel and killed zombies purely for the sake of slaughter, Ling Xi also felt it wasn't quite right.
Because from her previous observations, Ye Feng didn't seem like a bloodthirsty person.
Ye Feng didn't give off a fierce or violent impression when killing zombies!
Thus, after several days, Ling Xi was completely bewildered!
"A secret!"
Ye Feng replied indifferently and strode towards the zombie horde.
...
Two days later, at noon,
"Huff~"
"It's about time to leave!"
Ye Feng exhaled softly.
Because the crocodile people had previously opened the core laboratory and broken a large amount of enhanced serum, spilling it everywhere.
As a result, almost all the zombies in Zhanbi City had gathered at the building where the core laboratory was located.
Subsequently, the crocodile people injected themselves with Enhanced Serum No. 1, transforming into a temporarily crazed giant monster. Not only did it instantly crush the core laboratory building, but it also went on a rampage...
This led to a large number of zombies dying in confusion...
So, even though Ye Feng had worked hard to kill zombies these past few days, the total number he killed didn't exceed 1200.
The first few days were fine, he could kill several hundred each day. Later, the zombies were scattered, making it difficult for him to kill them...
In the last two days, there were only a few scattered zombies, and some zombies had even wandered quite far from Zhanbi City...
"I'll go tell Xiao Xiao and Ling Xi, we'll leave here after lunch."
Glancing at the 1913 displayed next to available points on his personal information panel, Ye Feng turned and walked towards a place where a tent was set up.
"Bang! Bang!~"
As Ye Feng approached the tent, he heard two gunshots.
"Yeah! I hit it!"
Then, Xiao Xiao's voice, full of excitement and joy, reached his ears.
It turned out that for several days, Ye Feng had been killing zombies, and Xiao Xiao, feeling a bit bored, wanted to improve her combat ability as well.
So, she took out the Beretta BU9 Nano compact pistol Ye Feng had given her and started practicing shooting.
Ye Feng had intended to teach Xiao Xiao shooting techniques, but later found that Ling Xi's marksmanship was far more accurate than his, so he let Ling Xi teach Xiao Xiao...
The two gunshots just now were Xiao Xiao headshotting two zombies that had wandered near the tent!
"Ling Xi, Xiao Xiao, pack up. We'll leave after lunch,"
Ye Feng called out to the two women.
"Oh, okay~"
Xiao Xiao immediately put away her compact pistol and turned to start packing.
Ling Xi, however, looked at Ye Feng with a rather puzzled and curious gaze, her eyes full of curiosity, before turning and walking towards Xiao Xiao.
Ye Feng didn't notice these subtle glances. He was happily taking out all the spatial rift fragments, preparing to expand his storage space.
"Ding~!"
After a clear beeping sound, most of the spatial rift fragments in front of Ye Feng disappeared, and Ye Feng's available points decreased from 1913 to 913.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Ye Feng frowned, realizing something was amiss.
"Hey, System, what are you doing? Increasing by 6 cubic meters shouldn't consume 120 spatial rift fragments and 1200 available points?"
"Why are there so many spatial rift fragments left, and the consumption of available points doesn't match!"
Ye Feng counted his spatial rift fragments and available points and asked.
"There are only 100 intact spatial rift fragments in total, which can increase the storage space by 5 cubic meters, requiring the consumption of 1000 available points."
The system's mechanical voice responded quickly.
"Holy... it really has an impact!"
Ye Feng was speechless.
When Ling Xi had given him spatial rift fragments and taught him how to store and retrieve items, he had already worried if there might be some kind of loss that would prevent him from increasing his storage space.
It seemed that was indeed the case!
"It looks like I can't casually store and retrieve items in new spatial rift fragments in the future,"
Ye Feng muttered, putting away the remaining 38 spatial rift fragments, which were the ones he had used to store gasoline before.
"Big brother, come eat!"
