Chapter 177: New Wind Base (1)
'Treasure? What treasure? Don't tell me that broken tablet computer was the treasure you're talking about?' Zhang Qin Feng silently communicates with Stein while extending his hand over to Alex. From how he moved his hand, even a fool would be able to understand what Zhang Qin Feng wants from him.
"Here you go, boss." Alex gave that tablet computer to Zhang Qin Feng.
"You may go back. We'll be coming down from the truck in a while. Go and get everything else ready. Count your ration and inventory and report back to me, Queenie, or Vice-Boss after that." said Alex.
"Roger that, sir!" the soldier left.
"Feng…" Satella was looking at Zhang Qin Feng's serious look as he tries to play around with the broken tablet computer. As the one had been sleeping beside him for some time, Satella hinted to the other two to leave the truck first. She knows that Zhang Qin Feng will takes a while before coming back to his sense.
In the meantime…
[Luckily, the memory chip inside this Blueprint Module is still working. With this, we'll be able to do more things in the future]
Stein said. It was rare to see there's a change in its speaking tone.
But Zhang Qin Feng was still unsure of what is the surprise behind this tiny tablet computer. Knowing that he might get busy to the point of forgetting about this later, he had Stein explain it before it went back to the repairing mode.
[It will take some time to explain everything, but to make it easier to understand, this is an independent backup system in case there's a significant data wipe. The device contained between 100 to 1,000 blueprints, and each of them was considered essential]
[From the system's initial guesses, this piece of Blueprint Module should be related to essential constructions. We might find no additional information related to weaponry and other advanced technology blueprints inside this machine, but what is in here would help us to speed up our new Wind Base's development]
'What do you mean by speeding up our base's development?' Zhang Qin Feng continues to ask. It was not like his base development was very slow right now.
[The speed of facility construction of the Wind Base is only 0.7% of the optimal rate. Please do not confuse the difference between repair and refit with building from scratch. The differences between them vary from the number of raw materials needed, time, speed, and equipment]
Stein said.
'Well… I guess I understand half of it. So what can I expect from this? And how can it be used?' Zhang Qin Feng continued with his question.
[Through programmable chips. Does the user still remember the microchips you've collected from the motorway's restaurant? The duty of those microchips was to download and kickstart the process from the Substance and Matter Printer. Based on the SMP grade we have, ten microchips was the maximum number we can have]
'Alright. Let's hope we can use it as soon as possible.' Zhang Qin Feng said and opened his eyes. It seems Alex and Queenie had left the military truck for a while. Only Satella was seated beside him when he came back to his sense.
"Finish thinking? What is this machine is all about?" Satella touched his face gently. The yearning expression from her was almost too much for Zhang Qin Feng to bear. It seems that his disappearance earlier almost got her mentally.
Luckily, she was a strong woman, to begin with.
Even without him by her side, she could still manage the expedition well and led everyone until this place.
As long nothing extraordinary is happening tonight, they'll be able to reach the new facility before midday.
"This thing should be the Blueprint Module that the people use before the outbreak. They're used as an independent server or backup for important blueprints. Based on the company logo here, this should be a construction Blueprint Module." Zhang Qin Feng answered her question while he pulled her closer to his embrace.
Keeping her close to his chest, Zhang Qin Feng felt some of Satella's warmth before the two proceed to something between a male and a female. The lack of space inside the military truck spiced everything up as they experienced something new together.
The two connected their body through the exchange of skin contact. After getting the sweat out along with some bodily fluid, Zhang Qin Feng and Satella left the truck shyly. They went inside the building to see what the soldiers had done to it.
There is nothing much to be concerned about the building. Perhaps due to its secluded location, this place ended up untouched by the scavengers and survivors. But it might be due to the lack of resources here because it was a construction planning firm. Such a building naturally has not many resources for the scavengers to loot.
Even if they were here for a while, it was just for protection and shelter.
The Dimensional Travel and Storage is also repaired after leaving Stein alone for few hours. The rations and ammunition for tomorrow were distributed to everyone before Zhang Qin Feng was going to rest.
In the morning, they continued with their journey towards the facility for their new Wind Base. The fifteen miles of remaining distance was not short nor long, but there are still some zombies here and there. Occasionally, they'll meet with a Tyrant and a few Screamers. Still, these monsters are no longer a threat to their heavy firepower.
With Satella's accuracy in using the Lunacy Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle, a single shot into the head was all she needed to bring that abomination down.
The group soon arrived at their destination.
It looked untouched as if nobody has been here from the start of the apocalypse until now. But the sensor from Zhang Qin Feng's Luna II was saying otherwise.
It seems that there are at least a thousand or so zombies gathering in the middle of this open-air facility. There are between twenty or so Luna Devices signal spotted around them, but all of them were at a safe distance.
Gathering his men around him, Zhang Qin Feng briefed them on what they have to do. If he's not mistaken, taking this place won't be as easy as he thought before. Not when people are inhabiting it.
