Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse

Chapter 388: Disconnected (7)

"Get ready to depart!" Zhang Qin Feng ordered.

Out of the four people they rescued yesterday, only the operator was not contaminated by the parasite. While the reason for him not being infected is unclear, it was evident that the parasite's invasion is not something to be taken lightly.

From the quick autopsy done on the 009's captain, the parasite comes in the shape of a tapeworm. The initial conclusion given to this parasite is that this thing can root itself with the host's spine and gradually control its actions.

The host's consciousness will be retained until they are wholly transformed into zombies with mutated jaw expanded out from their mouth. Furthermore, it was quite a tenacious bastard after the mutation was completed.

As there was a lack of equipment for the research and medical crew, the team could not discover more hints. But from what they knew so far, the parasite feast on the host's innards. This was the most direct way for them to check who was infected and who was not.

Perhaps because these parasites had no other predator here, it weakened their self-protection awareness. Although the controlled host would lose their five senses, it makes them much easier to recognize than fully healthy individuals.

With Zhang Qin Feng standing by on the core formation and Zhang Tianci on the frontmost, they adapted an arrowhead formation tactic in this push into the uncharted region.

It was an outdated tactic but also the best when it comes to penetrating densely defended locations.

"Left side, three targets!" ordered Zhang Qin Feng. With the binocular in his hand, he could monitor much further than his crews and instruct the firing team.

"11 o'clock! Two Tyrants spotted!" he continued.

This time, Zhang Tianci was the one to make his move as he charged towards the direction with two machetes. The two mutants didn't even have a chance to retaliate before it was done by Zhang Tianci mercilessly.

As the team commander, Zhang Qin Feng's fluidity in giving out the order proved vital. Furthermore, his command was more readily accepted by all the crews, unlike Zhang Tianci.

The latter might be more skillful as a super-soldier candidate, but he was not the Boss. His tactics might be openly accepted by the soldier-type clones, but not the intellectual type.

"Take note. Three with uniforms are coming from the right. Remain on high alert until we confirm their status." Zhang Qin Feng said. After what happened to the two captains and the vanguard team member last night, it was hard for them to openly accept the surviving members from the fleet.

His order made everyone highly cautious of the three people they once called siblings.

A body check is immediately done on them as they were handcuffed. But in less than five minutes…

*Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three gunshots were fired.

It was unfortunate, but all of them failed to survive through this. All three crews from the fleet were infected by the parasite to the point their belly had been emptied. There is nothing more to be done for them except send them off while still retaining their thought as a member of the Wind Base Group.

After sending the three infected crews off with heavy hearts, Zhang Qin Feng and his team continued on their way. A mixture of all emotions was stirring in his heart right now. But as the supporting pillar to everyone here, Zhang Qin Feng couldn't reveal what was in his mind.

Although he wasn't the one pulling the pistol's trigger, he was the one ordering it. And to someone who can be somewhat humane from the modern world, doing something like this here would still traumatize him by a little.

More crew members from the fleet gradually appeared as they approached the team.

Conscious or already turned, there's plenty of them showing up to the group. Including the three crews earlier, Zhang Qin Feng had killed thirty out of his 350 men assigned to the fleet of five ships.

The feeling of losing 10% of his first fleet's crew pained Zhang Qin Feng's heart.

It was an arduous last one-kilometer stretch for Zhang Qin Feng and his current crews.

'Damn!' Zhang Qin Feng cursed softly. His teen was about to bite into his lips to the point it would bleed. He's bleeding right now in his heart from the pain of killing his own people.

But as they approached where the beacon was, the hopelessness of their situation escalated by a hundredfold. It was indeed a beacon site, as said by the operator.

Unfortunately, this place is also hell for survivors.

Overlooking the beacon site from an advantageous position, Zhang Qin Feng was unsure whether to attack or retreat. This pace was definitely a must-hit target, but…

With over ten thousand zombies roaming on the outer circle and close to a hundred Tyrants around the building, this is definitely a boss stage with loads of handicap disadvantages.

Even Zhang Qin Feng would have to consider twice before hitting this place hard without access to Dimensional Storage.

"Boss… What are we going to do?" the operator driving the vehicle asked. The sight looks much more overwhelming compared to those standing beside the car.

"Creator, let me do it." Zhang Tianci retreated from his post and came to the passenger's side. It seems that while Zhang Qin Feng feeling a headache about what to do next, this clone of his appears to be confident in winning the battle.

"No, Tianci. Let's not be reckless here. Winning is a must, but that's not a victory if we have to sacrifice half of our people to achieve this." Zhang Qin Feng replied.

Unlike Zhang Tianci, who still had some problems understanding the preciousness of life, Zhang Qin Feng is much more rational. With their death count already at 349 people, it would be a waste to increase the number more than this.

Furthermore, the number of ammunition they had was far lesser than the number of zombies before them.

"Tianci, can you see that?" Zhang Qin Feng suddenly noticed something shining on the outer circle surrounded by a sea of zombies. From the number of blips it had, and the construct, it looked like a power station.
