Chapter 111 - Warming Up
"So... That's all I needed to get for you, correct?" Zhang Qin Feng wrote down what she needs and left the room with Satella after that. Based on the list she asked for, each of them was used in energy applications.
'It will be easy for me to get these raw materials to her to keep up with her research. Luckily, most of them were things I knew, such as Nickel, Copper, Zinc, and Magnesium. The only thing difficult for me to get might be Cobalt.' Zhang Qin Feng's mind wandered aimlessly while following Satella down to the ground floor.
'I wonder what kind of battery she could come out with... Would it be something capable of powering an electric vehicle by using much less battery than what they have right now?' Zhang Qin Feng smiled.
The thought of getting industrial and starting his own electronic company was appearing in his mind. But it dissipates almost as instantly as how it appeared when Zhang Qin Feng thought about the difficulties, the number of manpower he needs, and the scale of this business.
'Don't be a fool, Zhang Qin Feng... It's not easy to open a business like this without enough professionals helping me.' he thought.
[The user could perhaps rely on hiring them and becoming an investor. This could be a good option as it could contribute to the advancement of technology in both worlds]
Stein interrupted in the middle of his conflicting mind.
"Do you mean to be a boss of my own and let them creating it out for me?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. It seems that Stein's suggestion was somewhat interesting to Zhang Qin Feng. As far as he knew, the thought of becoming a boss and let people work for him still hasn't crossed his mind.
Even until now, he's still occupied with the thought of selling the gold they collected and becoming a millionaire. And although Digital Currency might be a profitable investment, it was still an investment that he had a problem controlling how fast it grows.
[Yes, the user is correct. Instead of relying on the report that other people controlled, why not the user start something first that possibly contributes to both worlds? Please don't forget that while your modern world had the resources, it lacks the technology to support it]
[On the contrary, this post-apocalypse has the technology, but because the land started to lose its sustainability, maintaining the resources started to be impossible]
[All the user need is to get an equilibrium from these two and profit from them]
'That's true...' Zhang Qin Feng nodded. By the time he realized it, he was already on the ground floor. Many people were gathered in the open area of the base to exchange for resources for them to sustain their day-to-day life.
It was evident that becoming a boss racked up more profits than hunting himself. But he eventually has to go out and work himself because he would get rusty if he retired from the frontline for too long.
This was the first time the outsiders saw Zhang Qin Feng. Looking at how he was walked by Satella out from the base building in private made them questioned his identity. But it seems that he was too immature for them to assume that he was the boss of this Wind Base.
Some people approached Satella to exchange a few words with her, but she just randomly entertained them and left the base with Zhang Qin Feng by her side. Since Zhang Qin Feng was around for today, the female follower of Satella was working at the exchange table instead.
The two of them left the base and heading to a nearby place shown by the Luna device on Satella's wrist. It seems that both of them were missing the time they're hunting for the zombies.
"Had your skill get rusty?" Satella asked as she picked up her speed. From the look of it, she knew that Zhang Qin Feng had some issue with his stamina.
"Do you want to try?" Zhang Qin Feng replied to her and took a Centurion Rifle out from his Dimensional Space. Once again, it surprises Satella, Because until now, she still unclear about how Zhang Qin Feng created these miracles.
At the same time, she was afraid.
She was afraid that if she asked, Zhang Qin Feng would left without notice after her curiosity went overboard. When Zhang Qin Feng did not appear for an entire week, it almost crushed her mind.
The thought that she shouldn't ask Zhang Qin Feng to stay with her a little longer made her afraid that she'll lose him for good.
"We have company. It seems quite some zombies ventured from the Turbine City to this place. You ready?" Satella asked while her other hand was pulling the pin to check her rifle's chamber.
"Always ready. Let's do it!" Zhang Qin Feng replied. Taking a shooting position on top of a broken vehicle, Zhang Qin Feng aimed using the iron sight and fired confidently.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
He repeatedly took down the zombies and created more movable spaces for Satella. It seems that because of the increase in his Response Status, it was much easier for him to concentrate during a battle.
"Wo..."
[Toot!]
-
[Two zombies spotted in the vicinity. Suggesting the user switch into a secondary firearm!]
Stein's warning came straight after it noticed the zombie's groan.
*Bang - Bang!*
Zhang Qin Feng fired two shots as a notice to Satella before he set the Centurion Rifle aside. Two Phalanx X-02 appeared on both hands as Zhang Qin Feng moves forward to hunt the zombies near him.
Although the report was just two zombies, it excludes those coming after the sound of his rifle.
To Zhang Qin Feng's surprise, more than ten zombies came from the route they used. It was as if they were trapped by the zombies on purpose.
'Stein, nudge Satella's Luna Device. Tell her we're surrounded.' Zhang Qin Feng instructed and reached for the Centurion Rifle he left on top of the broken vehicle.
'Scan for nearby zombies.' he said.
[No nearby hostiles spotted. The user is safe to get into a firing position!]
'Good! Let's do it!' Zhang Qin Feng put his palm over at the nozzle of the Centurion Rifle and pressed a hidden button. A kickstand is opened from the press of a button, and it was more stable than holding the rifle with both hands.
"Come!" Zhang Qin Feng shouted as he fired his rifle continuously at the incoming group of zombies.
