Previously, Zhang Yanhang estimated that he might need to clear an area above five square kiloters but less than ten square kiloters. Now, after actual asurent, he found that the area he needed to clear was indeed within this range, totaling eight square kiloters.
Currently, the area Zhang Yanhang was clearing was directly leading to the location of the slot machine. If he jumped down from this rooftop and walked left for more than a hundred ters, he would reach the alley where the slot machine was located.
The remaining three square kiloters was the area on both sides of the alley where the slot machine was located. This ant that if Zhang Yanhang just wanted the slot machine, he could go get it now. This was exactly why Zhang Yanhang wanted to go back to rest, as the most important slot machine was almost in his pocket.
"Since there’s only half an hour left, I guess the second tier stage of the clearing plan will have to wait until next ti. I choose Option Two, no."
After making his decision, the Ti Pause instantly disappeared, and he continued to hunt zombies with his M4A1 assault rifle. On the street where he was, there were still so scattered zombies that hadn’t been completely eliminated. After a quick cleanup, he planned to move the slot machine downstairs.
About five minutes later, Zhang Yanhang, who had cleaned up the entire street, entered a dark alley he had visited more than five hours earlier.
He walked slowly to the slot machine that was emitting a golden light, rubbed his hands excitedly, and then easily lifted the slot machine onto his shoulder. "Hmm? Is it this light?"
Zhang Yanhang had initially thought that this object might be fixed in place and impossible to lift. Even if it could be lifted, he believed it would be quite heavy. However, he not only managed to lift it but also found it surprisingly light, weighing no more than a couple of hundred pounds at most.
Zhang Yanhang had initially planned to just play it there if he couldn’t lift it. But now, he could take it back to the respawn point to play.
You might wonder why Zhang Yanhang insisted on carrying this thing back. The reason was that the slot machine was subject to a refresh chanism. Although he did not know the exact refresh ti, the fact that it could refresh was clearly stated below the usage instructions and pricing, making it very conspicuous.
Therefore, it was precisely for this reason that Zhang Yanhang went to great lengths to plan the second tier stage of the clearing plan.
Well, strictly speaking, the clearing plan wasn’t really related to the slot machine. He just used the slot machine as a reference point to plan the clearing area.
Since he was originally supposed to clear the entire Raccoon City, the slot machine could essentially be seen as just sothing he picked up along the way, since its revenue could never be higher than what he gained from killing monsters.
"Since it’s so easy to carry, can I just stuff this slot machine in my waist bag and take it away? If that worked, it would be even easier."
A strange idea suddenly popped into Zhang Yanhang’s mind, and he imdiately put it to the test, only to find that the artifact absolutely did not fit into the waist bag, or rather, the waist bag didn’t react at all to the slot machine, as if it were air and simply ignored it.
"Guess that won’t work; I’ll have to carry it on my shoulder obediently."
Given Zhang Yanhang’s current constitution and strength, carrying a couple of hundred pounds on his shoulder for a death sprint covering a few thousand ters was actually quite easy. However, it might slightly impact his speed, as it essentially doubled his weight.
Even so, Zhang Yanhang could still maintain a normal speed of several ters per second.
...
Zhang Yanhang ran alone on the streets of Raccoon City with the slot machine on his shoulder. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a strange scene—a pile of grey powder floated up from a zombie’s body and then dispersed into the air like bubbles blown away by the wind.
Coincidentally, a grey powder also appeared on a zombie corpse near Zhang Yanhang’s feet, but this ti, being closer, he watched the entire process very clearly.
To be precise, it wasn’t that grey powder appeared on the corpse; rather, the whole body gradually turned to grey powder starting from the limbs, and this process continued to expand inward until the torso and head were also transford into grey powder.
At the sa ti, during this transformation, so of the grey powder drifted outward, and once the transformation was complete, the grey powder would suddenly seem to dissolve into the air and disappear instantly.
"So this is how ’Ashen World’ refreshes bodies?" Zhang Yanhang felt like he suddenly understood the origin of the na ’Ashen World’; it must be because all the monsters are made of ash.
"Wait, if they’re made of ash and can refresh bodies, can they also refresh monsters?" Zhang Yanhang instantly thought of this highly likely possibility. After all, it didn’t make sense to refresh just the bodies and not the monsters too.
"Forget it, I don’t feel like thinking about such complicated things right now. I’ll deal with it next ti I co to Ashen World."
Although he might have discovered the refresh chanism for monsters in Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang felt his current primary task was to imdiately rush to Room 301 of the Dulda Apartnt, delaying all other concerns. So, he once again hoisted the slot machine and continued on his way.
After running for about four to five minutes, Zhang Yanhang finally arrived at the Dulda Apartnt.
Standing in front of the entrance to Dulda Apartnt, Zhang Yanhang felt a strong sense of security. To him, this place was like a safe house since he had cleared all the surrounding monsters.
However, the thought that monsters might continue to respawn nearby imdiately diminished his sense of security. But fortunately, if monsters were to respawn nearby, they would at most be small zombies or little dogs, low-level creatures that posed no threat to the current Zhang Yanhang since they couldn’t even break through his basic defenses.
But just to be safe, Zhang Yanhang still used the Enemy Seeking Radar to scan the surroundings. Thanks to his efforts, no monsters were found nearby.
After confirming there were no monsters in the vicinity, Zhang Yanhang skillfully took out a key to the apartnt’s main door from his shoulder bag. Currently, his shoulder bag contained three keys in total, the other two being the keys to Room 301 and the gun store, both useful keys.
