Chapter 8: One Ton of Drinking Water in the Backyard!
Soon, others began to imitate Lin Feng’s approach, using their surplus food to exchange for white crystal stones. White crystal stones were now hard currency; with 5 white crystal stone stones, one could exchange for a handgun.
With a handgun, one could carve out a path in the apocalypse.
The resources in each person’s room varied. Some were lucky; if their initial room happened to be a kitchen, that was entirely possible.
After completing his trades, Lin Feng didn’t make any further plans. He closed the market and focused on the task at hand.
Lin Feng remembered that Elite Militiaman Zhang Heng was now an elite veteran. With proficient skills, he only needed to be equipped with a rifle to upgrade to the next troop type.
Lin Feng said to the system in his mind, “Open the Exchange Store.”
【Opening the Exchange Store……】
【Level 1 Infection Antidote: 5 crystals each】
【Exquisite Handgun: 5 crystals each】
【AK Rifle: 20 crystals each】
Lin Feng looked at the AK rifle priced at 20 crystals and decisively chose to exchange for it.
【Exchanging item——AK Rifle*1, distributing……】
In no time, an AK rifle appeared in Lin Feng’s hand. It looked like a knockoff weapon used by some African military force.
Lin Feng then handed the AK rifle to Elite Militiaman Zhang Heng and also exchanged one crystal for rifle ammunition.
【Exchanging item——AK Bullets*100, distributing……】
At this point, Lin Feng’s white crystal stone count was down to 76, which was still quite a lot.
When Lin Feng handed the AK rifle to Elite Militiaman Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng’s demeanor changed immediately.
Moreover, his clothing began to transform, from basic training attire to a tactical outfit with a bulletproof vest.
However, this military uniform reminded Lin Feng of the armies from some underdeveloped countries…
【Ding! Your elite militiaman has upgraded to the next troop type—Regular Army.】
【Reading character panel——Regular Army】
【Regular Army: Zhang Heng
Health: 200
Attack Power: 30
Stamina: 150/150 (upgraded, stamina automatically refilled)
Talents: Highest Level Auto-aim (increases aiming accuracy by four times), Command Potential (as the survivor’s first regular army, can command militiamen, increasing their combat effectiveness.)】
Upon upgrading to Regular Army, Zhang Heng knelt down and said with loyalty, “Thank you for your trust, Master. This Zhang will serve you to the death!”
Zhang Heng’s tone was very earnest.
And in Lin Feng’s mind, another message popped up.
【Your Regular Army member Zhang Heng’s loyalty has increased by 5, reaching 95 (Devotion)】
Now, Zhang Heng had become a higher-level Regular Army member with stronger attack power. Lin Feng no longer had to worry about him betraying, as a loyalty of 95 meant he would definitely serve him to the death.
Lin Feng began to consider his next steps.
“Check the interior of the house for safety. See if there are any areas that need reinforcement, and be careful not to attract the attention of the zombies outside,” Lin Feng instructed Zhang Heng. He hadn’t had a chance to inspect his own room yet.
“Yes!” Zhang Heng, holding the AK rifle, began to cautiously check each room.
The AK rifle, combined with Zhang Heng’s new status as a Regular Army member and his military uniform, really made Lin Feng think of some ragtag militia…
But as long as their combat effectiveness was improved, that was what mattered.
Now, Lin Feng held the exquisite handgun that Zhang Heng had left behind, along with a magazine of bullets.
The familiar feel of the gun in his hand brought back memories for Lin Feng.
“Finally, I get to hold a gun again.”
Lin Feng then began to inspect his Level 2 Shelter, also known as his Safe House.
It was a small villa. The second floor of the two-story villa had seven rooms, and Lin Feng’s initial room was the master bedroom.
【Exploration discovered resource—one bottle of drinking water】
【Exploration discovered resource—one can of beef.】
【Exploration discovered resource……】
As Zhang Heng continued his step-by-step exploration, Lin Feng received notifications of the resources Zhang Heng discovered within the villa.
Regular Army member Zhang Heng carefully collected these items and placed them all in the living room on the first floor.
Passing through the opulent first floor of the villa, Lin Feng arrived in the backyard.
In front of him was a swimming pool full of water…
In the darkness, the water in the swimming pool shimmered, reflecting the moonlight and stirring Lin Feng’s emotions.
It was a full swimming pool of water!
【Exploration discovered 1000 liters of purified water (tested and confirmed to be drinkable with good water quality.)】
The system’s voice echoed in Lin Feng’s mind, confirming that the water in front of him was indeed drinkable!
A full 1000 liters of drinkable water.
In other words, one metric ton!
