Scraps Exchange Company (1)

A yellow alert wakes Zhang Qin Feng from his beauty sleep. Feeling shocked, Zhang Qin Feng went around the General Store inside out, only to notice the changes in his store.

A garage-like attachment pops out from nowhere, which can only be opened through his fingerprint. And inside, the two sophisticated versions of Rhinos is parked.

The outer layer of the shield is now folded before welding to increase its protection. Other than this, a panel of the protective shield can also be deployed around the user in battle.

Along with two pairs of walker's attachment, the Rhinos now capable of walking through difficult terrains. In comparison to the scrap version, this newer model is packed with more conveniences and less trouble.

Also, dozens of ammunition lies on the side.

By using the door that joins the garage and store together, it brings Zhang Qin Feng back to the general store. It's actually a door right at the back of the cashier.

But the alert is yet to finish. Zhang Qin Feng made his way quickly to the workshop, only to be greeted by the surprising Genetic Culture Test Tubes.

Previously, the Medical Culture in the tube turned from the liquid stage into a petri dish full of fumes releasing mushrooms. But for the Genetic Culture, mushrooms did not grow from the bluish liquid, but some vegetation like moss.

Hairy little tentacles move everywhere while releasing some cloudy substance, which is collected via the attached equipment at the back.

Zhang Qin Feng activated the Tinkerer's Workbench and tapped into the choice for Gene Enhancer.

With everything available for production, Zhang Qin Feng tapped on the decisive button. Since the process wouldn't take too much of his time, Zhang Qin Feng monitors the process from the start until it's done.

This time, an ampoule made from beautiful Damascus Metal sits on top of the table. While the General Recovery Serum used a sting as an injection, the Gene Enhancer Serum is administered through a syringe.

Zhang Qin Feng checked the supporting article immediately with the ampoule in hand. Upon application, the medicinal serum will starts breaking a small number of cells to restructure them.

The process of restructuring takes 12 hours to complete. During the 12 hours, the user may suffer conditions such as fever, sore throat, and rashes. If the condition worsens, General Recovery Serum can be applied as temporary relief.

After the restructuring process, the user may experience a sudden boost of strength, speed, and fitness. Discomfort may continue until the body fully adapted to the changes.

Zhang Qin Feng calmed himself before he stuck the needle into his vein. Like a burst of carbonated bubbles, the serum emptied in a flash.

"Hoooo..." Zhang Qin Feng takes a deep breath. He stays at the same posture for a few more minutes before accepting his rash action. But that did not stop him from making 4 additional ampoules, which is his limit for now.

Right at 12pm, the transfer begins, bringing him over to the apocalypse.

...

...

...

"Captain!" a guy with the Ironhead Team's emblem came back to their temporary headquarter.

"Report," Captain Guo patiently waited for his men to explain what he found around the area.

"There's a Seedling inside the Shopping Mall. I'm afraid our team of 20 people cannot take out such a big monster." the scout reported. From how he describes the Seedling Creature, it is at least 10 meters tall, with many extended branches spreading throughout the entire wall.

Worst of all, the fruit grows on the branch is inedible. It contains strong acid that can dissolve metal and human flesh on contact. To make things worst, each one of the branches contained sensory veins, which can cause a chain reaction if there's a disturbance.

The appearance of this SCV Spawn here disrupted their movement schedule.

So far, they only managed to capture the area around the bridge link across the western side of Changyang City. What nobody considered is the existence of this creature here...

"We'll reduce the number of branches for now. Make sure you inspect the gaps and walls before proceeding!" Captain Guo ordered. Since their progress is halted, without a doubt, it would be foolish to not trying to solve this matter.

Only by progressing further, they'll be given the supplies from Xichen's Faction! Nobody dares to think about the consequences if his people found out that they're staying idle here for the whole day due to some SCV Spawns.

"And send two people to the upper street and lower street. Start taking out the walking dead before they gather around us!" Captain Guo ordered. Even he has to enter the battlefield to even their numbers.

...

...

"..." Dan Mi's soul flew around his mortal body for a while. It took him like 3 minutes to finally came back to his sense.

"I think commonsense is no longer applicable to you," Dan Mi claimed. From brand new Leishen weaponry to the essential food, batteries, and recovery ampoules, Zhang Qin Feng can supply all of them confidently.

But now, he even came up with a brand new, remodeled RHINOS?

What else? Won't Zhang Qin Feng comes up with some Aerial Suppressing Vehicle or Underground Driller to hunt for Corpse Eater?

The two new Rhinos quickly added into their unit of 8 Rhinos. Zhang Qin Feng also promised Dan Mi that he will keep the production until they replaced all the older Rhinos.

He also planned to expand the Rhinos unit into two, with 10 Rhinos a team. As for equipment, they'll no longer keep using the refurbished version of the Leishen rifle. Zhang Qin Feng also supplied 2 Recovery Ampoules for each soldier as a life-saving measure.

Since it was the second day after the disagreement a few days ago, his business remained slow.

But Zhang Qin Feng's profit no longer comes from selling the food, but exploration!

The 110 soldiers are split into 11 teams, with a team leader each. And to make sure they're supervised thoroughly, Zhang Qin Feng appointed Dan Bao to be the Commander of Azure Wolf Gang. As for Dan Mi, he's taking both Vice Commander and advisor to Zhang Qin Feng.

Two teams will be sent out to other zones to search for useful materials and hunting for Walking Dead. If they encountered a formidable opponent like the four main categories, it is not compulsory to engage. Instead, the headquarter will send additional assistance for a subjugation mission.

Unfortunately for Zhang Qin Feng, they're still troubled with the matter of communication. Since there are only 4 Luna II communication devices, only the two exploration team leader, Dan Bao, and Zhang Qin Feng can be given one.

"I'll tell my research team to start to study the Luna II device," Zhang Qin Feng said and placed the watch on his wrist.

"Alright! Exploration Team 1 and 2, you can make the necessary preparation and depart! As for the 9 remaining teams, I hope you'll take it seriously in patrolling our perimeters." Dan Bao shouts. Since it is his first time taking over the command of soldiers from Zhang Qin Feng, he needs to show his commitment.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go and take a look around the base." Zhang Qin Feng said.

"Yes, Sir!" Dan Bao makes a salutation to Zhang Qin Feng before he left.

"Should I accompany you, sir?" Dan Mi smirks as he tried to talk to Zhang Qin Feng.

"You assh*le. Don't use that kind of attitude when you're with me alone." Zhang Qin Feng knocked his head lightly.
