[Luna II found a total of sixteen targets surrounding the user. Advising that the user advances with care while taking note of your surrounding]
Stein's feedback came in instantly as his point of view was replaced with an apocalyptic theme. Although there were no cars nor trash was burning left and right, his sense of smell made Zhang Qin Feng noticed a stench of rotting flesh around him.
*Bang!*
Zhang Qin Feng immediately fired the Centurion S-11 Rifle towards the zombie located less than five steps on his right. The accurate shot quickly blew the zombie's head off, leaving it twitching on the ground for a moment before it stopped moving.
[Alert! The gunshot has attracted more zombies to the user's location. Suggesting the user locate a temporary shelter as soon as possible]
After hearing Stein's advice, Zhang Qin Feng immediately get on his feet and made his way to the nearest building about two hundred meters from his position. There was only one entrance in the front with four barricaded windows on the ground floor.
*Kerchak!*
The door opened instantly from a twist of the knob. Zhang Qin Feng quickly scanned the living room and kitchen before moving on to the upper level.
'Great. It's empty. I suppose this will be a good hiding spot for now.' he immediately positioned himself on the upper floor. Using the iron-sight mounted on the Centurion S-11 Rifle, Zhang Qin Feng fired a few suppression shots to keep the zombies from getting too close to his position.
Once in a while, he'll take a trip downstairs to make sure there' no unforeseen accident like any zombies popping out from some shelves or doors without him noticing.
About twenty minutes later, the area was finally cleared.

'That means I'm quite a distance from Satella, correct? I wonder how did I manage to walk so far previously before I initiate the dimensional travel.' Zhang Qin Feng smiled as he strapped the Centurion S-11 over his shoulder and continue to move forward with the Phalanx X-02 in hand.
The special military steel dagger is on his left hand as he moves forward with care. With Stein's assistance, it was almost impossible for him to miss the valuable as he travels down the road to the next residential area.
It didn't take too much of his time before Zhang Qin Feng arrived at the residential area with its main entrance blocked by a mountain of vehicle scraps. As usual, his only way to enter this lightly barricaded area was to pass through the side door.
Noticing that there were some changes over the entrance here, Zhang Qin Feng made sure that he came inside the vicinity carefully.
'The entrance is cleaner than before… It might be the work of Satella, but I can't think of a reason for her to clean that place.' Zhang Qin Feng patiently listened to the noise of the surrounding before moving past the convenience store.
Because this destroyed store was the first shop after coming in through the entrance, it became a perfect spot for one to hide or take shelter. Of course, this place can also turn into a sneak attack point if there's enough manpower to be positioned here.
'Nobody… I guess I'll go and check the building we're going to make it into our base. I wonder if Satella is around.' Zhang Qin Feng calmly walked through two other shops and made a quick sprint across the street to reach the apartment's entrance.
Gently pushing the wooden partition door open, he was surprised by two young girls aiming their guns at Zhang Qin Feng.
"Hold on. I know Satella. Are you with her?" Zhang Qin Feng was caught by them surprisingly. For the first time, he's getting threatened from pointed with not one but two guns in less than five meters distance.
"How do you know Satella is here? Who are you?" one of the two girls asked. From the way she speaks, she seems to be quite a feisty lady.
"I'm afraid I can't speak too much unless I met her. Can you perhaps tell her that Zhang Qin Feng is here?" he said and lowered his Phalanx X-02 to convinced the two girls that he meant no harm.
"You're Zhang… Something-something Feng?" the other girl asked. From her tone and action, she should be the least experienced one because her gun was already pointing on the ground by the time she speaks.
"Miriam! Gun up!" the other girl shouted.
"But he's the Zhang guy big sis Satella mentioned, Miria," Miriam said.
"We're not sure about his identity. He might be a fake one that comes here to see if he can get inside our base." Miria continued. Judging on her attitude, she's hellbent on not allowing Zhang Qin Feng to come in.
"From the way the two of you speak, Satella is not in the base? Did she say where she went?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. He's confident about this as Satella would have been here right now while they're arguing about his identity.
"Big sister Satella went out to get some slaves, she said. We're the only people on the base right now…" Miriam answered. There's a hint of worry in between her eyes as she replied to Zhang Qin Feng.
"I'll go and look for her. Tell her that I come earlier if she comes back without me. I supposed both of you didn't eat anything from morning until now?" Zhang Qin Feng said as he rummages his backpack for something.
Of course, it was just an act because he can't show it openly that he's capable of taking things out from thin air.
"I'll leave the bread here. Just come and get it after I'm gone. Make sure you pay attention until both of us come back." Zhang Qin Feng left the bread near the wooden door before turning around and leave.
Minutes later, the Miria took a few steps out and grabbed the bread. She quickly closed the door after she secured the food Zhang Qin Feng left on the ground.
