Chapter 82: Extraordinary Content
[What does the user meant by coincidence? The system is unable to perceive the meaning behind what the user wishes to convey from your words]
Although Stein was a system developed by whatever was left from the sole survivor from the post-apocalypse, it doesn't mean the system has all the knowledge it possessed. In a different point of view, Stein might be an infant that knows nothing but inherited memories and commonsense.
Does this mean the system was lacking?
The answer was no.
But the answer wasn't yes either.
'Stein, there's more for you to learn when it comes to humanity. Can you scan the barrel of cooking oil and check its content? I'm sure it would be a surprise.' Zhang Qin Feng removed the shelf and took the aluminum barrel out.
It was clear that the spot was used to store the cooking oil for quite some time. The only difference here was this aluminum barrel is not rusted, which means it was recently changed.
[Scanning complete. The content inside this thing was "extraordinary," in the system's opinion. Was this the technology that belonged to this world?]
Stein's question has a hint of sarcasm hidden inside. But to the Zhang Qin Feng that got used to how the post-apocalypse world looked like, it started to seem normal.
Perhaps the reason the other world still managed to remain active until now is due to the fact they're not dependent on atomic energy. But for Zhang Qin Feng's world, the same Seed Crystal Virus outbreak might bring a different result.
'Yes. Is the item inside volatile?' Zhang Qin Feng smiled.
'Keep this into the Dimensional Storage. And didn't you mention before that the Horus Eye Mercenaries are likely based nearby the closed Factory Zone where my mining facility is located?' Zhang Qin Feng instructed.
[Toot! The object is stored inside Dimensional Storage]
-
[Responding to the user's question. Yes. Their coordinate that the system saved before managed to pinpoint a few exact locations that possibly be their hideout]
'Then, let's go from here. We'll return to the workshop. Help me to make a call to Captain Hu.' Zhang Qin Feng said. After mumbling something with the captain, Zhang Qin Feng left the studio empty-handed.
What he had no idea is that he was under their surveillance as he left the building.
"Worshipper comes in." the agent working with the Horus Eye Mercenaries called the moment he witnessed Zhang Qin Feng leaving the building empty-handed.
"This is the priest. State your request." the person on the other side of the line replied.
"The subject left the building quietly without taking anything with him. Looks like the head of the relic is not in his hand." the agent whispered with a hand covering his Bluetooth earpiece.
"Good job. Our lordship will hear your request for sure. Your work will be repaid with some gold, so check your account after an hour. The church will be closing now, priest out." the call disconnected after they finished their conversation.
Less than an hour later, ten thousand Dongcheng Dollar was wired into this agent's account. Now a happy man with ten thousand dollars in his account, the agent left the coffee shop he's at and went shopping.

"Knock - Knock - Knock…" three consecutive knocks came from the shutter not long after Zhang Qin Feng returned to his mining facility.
"What delivery it is today?" Zhang Qin Feng replied.
"Barbeque Spicy Sticks." the knocker replied.
"…"
It was silent for a while, but a few seconds later, the shutter was opened from the inside. The visitors were invited into the mining facility secretly, and the place returned to its quietness a few minutes later.
"Captain Hu." Zhang Qin Feng puts his hand out this time as he initiates a handshake with the captain and the four special members following him. Their arrival this time was entirely secret to everyone else.
Right now, except for the six of them inside of this mining facility, there is no one else that knows their current position. Not even Wang Yufei's grandfather was notified about this.
"Young nephew Zhang, I hope you know that this is a high-risk bet. Although I'm not sure how you managed to get the information, you'll have to know that what we're going to do was entirely unauthorized by any superior."
"If there's anything happened, it will be accounted on our head. I hope you're ready for this." Captain Hu made sure he convinced Zhang Qin Feng for the last time before they carried out with an unexplained plan.
"To what extent can I trust you and your fellow brothers?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. It seems he had something planned from his side by asking this question.
"I trust them to the point I dare plant a bullet into my head for their sake. And I believe they will do this for me as well," the captain answered.
"Great. And as what we agreed on. Everything that I've brought out will be between us. Not a single word will leave this mining facility." Zhang Qin Feng repeated.
"Guys, your words." Captain Hu turned to his four companions. After getting a nod from each of them, Zhang Qin Feng pulled a pistol out from his back. It was actually taken out from his Dimensional Storage.
Looking at the pistol in Zhang Qin Feng's hand, the other four immediately reached out to their waist but remembered that they come here empty-handed. All they had was a few clothing, toiletries in their rucksack.
Not even a single piece of ID card is with them. This means, if Zhang Qin Feng were to kill them here, their identity might remain unknown until the DNA investigation managed to find something out from their remains.
And it was not outrageous for them to think like this, especially when Zhang Qin Feng was holding a pistol right in front of them. Even Captain Hu was shocked that Zhang Qin Feng could bring out a gun while he's by their side.
'Where… Where did the gun come from?' Captain Hu thought.
Zhang Qin Feng then pointed the Phalanx X-02 on the wall five meters from where they're seated.
*BIP! BIP! BIP!*
Shots were fired.
