"Damn!"
Ye Feng grunted, using his fire axe to prop against the zombie's chest and create distance, preventing it from biting him.
Immediately, Ye Feng retrieved a Glock 18 from his spatial storage, aimed it at the head of the Tier 1 Agile Zombie, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang—bang..."
After a volley of dense gunfire, the Tier 1 Agile Zombie finally stopped moving. Its head had been riddled with bullets by Ye Feng.
"Ding~ Host has killed a Tier 1 Agile Zombie and obtained 5 usable points~"
The system's voice chimed in.
"This Glock 18 truly lives up to its reputation as a machine pistol~"
Ye Feng was quite surprised. In less than two seconds, he had emptied the entire magazine, all 17 rounds. He had seen the data before, stating that the Glock 18 had a theoretical rate of fire approaching 2000 rounds per minute. But experiencing it firsthand, Ye Feng was still astonished!
"Hoo!~"
Ye Feng exhaled, wiping the zombie brain matter and blood that had splattered onto his eyelids and cheeks. He then carefully withdrew his left leg from the Tier 1 Agile Zombie's abdomen. This wasn't due to cowardice or exhaustion from fighting zombies, but rather a fear of being cut by the broken bone from the zombie and causing an infection.
After freeing his leg entirely from the zombie, Ye Feng quickly ran to the nearest river to wash himself.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness~"
Although he hadn't felt any pain in his thigh and had assumed his leg was unharmed, seeing his intact, pale thigh beneath his torn pants, Ye Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then proceeded to clean the zombie fluids from his face and other areas. After all, this substance carried the zombie virus, and if it accidentally entered his eyes or mouth, he could still be infected and turn into a zombie.
By the time Ye Feng finished, it was already evening. The sunset clouds in the sky were as fiery as they were beautiful.
"Let's search for more zombies~"
There was still some time before dark, so Ye Feng decided to accumulate more usable points. This time, Ye Feng became much more cautious. According to the system, this Tier 1 Agile Zombie was a mutation, possessing greater speed than ordinary zombies. The presence of a Tier 1 Agile Zombie in this area might indicate the existence of other mutated zombies.
Thus, Ye Feng held the fire axe in one hand and the reloaded Glock 18 in the other.
"What's going on?"
Ye Feng was puzzled. He searched the area where he encountered the Tier 1 Agile Zombie for a while but found no other zombies.
"Forget it, I'll head back~"
After searching for a long time without finding any zombies, Ye Feng decided to return to his campsite.
"Beep~ Notification: Treasure chest detected, 1 meter to your rear left!"
Ye Feng turned around. Not taking more than a few steps, the system's alert sounded.
"Huh?"
Ye Feng turned and looked in the direction indicated by the system. "Behind this sheet of warehouse metal?"
He then swung his fire axe, hacking at the corrugated metal.
"Clang~ Bang!~ Clink………."
Clear metallic impacts echoed, sparks flying. After a few minutes, Ye Feng cut a hole large enough for a person to pass through in the warehouse's metal wall and entered.
"Whoa, it's a Black Iron Treasure Chest!"
Seeing the treasure chest the system had indicated, Ye Feng's mood was as radiant as the sunset clouds. He hadn't found a treasure chest in a long time, not even a wooden one. And now, a Black Iron grade treasure chest lay before him.
"Did it fall from the large hole in the warehouse roof?"
Ye Feng mumbled softly, glancing at the large hole in the warehouse ceiling, seemingly caused by something smashing through. He then approached and hoisted the entire Black Iron Treasure Chest to carry it out. The interior of the warehouse was too dark to see clearly and was filled with unpleasant odors.
[Toast Bread x20]
[Flour x8]
[Pickled Mustard Greens x5]
[Sprite Soda x5]
[Toothpaste x3]
"Huh, toothpaste!"
Ye Feng was quite excited at this. He had been using salt to brush his teeth, which felt wasteful and uncomfortable. Now, he finally had toothpaste.
[Battery x1]
[Black Powder x5]
"Holy cow!"
Upon seeing the last two items, Ye Feng's prior joy instantly turned into shock. Who was this? They put a battery and black powder together? And the black powder was in an iron can? And both were placed inside a metal box? If the battery short-circuited or produced any sparks, it would definitely cause an explosion!
Ye Feng carefully took out the battery, then placed the five cans of black powder, each about the size of a Wang Lao Ji soda can, far away from the battery on the ground.
"Phew~"
After completing this, Ye Feng truly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems I need to be more careful when opening treasure chests in the future! So dangerous!"
Looking at the cans of black powder, Ye Feng felt a sense of awe. If he had been careless just now, he might have been blown to bits. He then opened a bottle of Sprite and took a long gulp, having toiled under the hot sun for a long time.
"Refreshing!"
Ye Feng shouted out, having not had a carbonated drink in a long time. "Though it would be even better if the Sprite were cold!~" he muttered, and began organizing the supplies. He put food and important items into his spatial storage, and less critical items into his backpack.
"Ding~"
"Detected: Host's first time opening a Black Iron Treasure Chest, receiving an additional reward: 2000 Survival Coins~"
At this moment, the system's voice chimed in.
"Hmm~ The first time opening a Bronze Treasure Chest gave an additional reward of 1000 Survival Coins, and the first time opening a Black Iron Treasure Chest gave 2000 Survival Coins. What about the first time opening a Silver one..."
Ye Feng was not surprised by this reward. The system had previously informed him that there would be additional rewards for the first time opening treasure chests of different grades.
"It's getting dark, I need to hurry back!"
Glancing at the almost fully set sun, Ye Feng quickly put on his backpack and ran towards his campsite. Of course, Ye Feng did not take the five cans of black powder in metal casings. Instead, he found a place to bury them and marked the spot. Su Dan Novel Network
After all, that stuff was too dangerous. Carrying it on him, a simple static discharge might blow him up. As for putting it in his spatial storage, Ye Feng felt it was even riskier. He didn't want his hard-earned essential supplies to be destroyed in an explosion.
....
As the sun completely set,
Ye Feng finally returned to his campsite, the same large tree from before. While enjoying a steaming, hearty dinner, Ye Feng, as usual, opened the [Regional Chat Channel].
mirror: "OMG, what happened today? This is too unbelievable!"
"What's too unbelievable?"
"Seconded!"
mirror: "On our regional survival potential list, a quarter of the IDs ranked 400-500 have disappeared!"
Soon, a piece of dialogue caught Ye Feng's attention.
