When an alien is bound to a world-saving system Chapter 11

Bonus chapter~ Massive thanks to O'Brien's Shook Face for all the kofis!!! More bonus chapters to come~

A certain alien handed the burger over to Chen Da Yong who was beside him, indicating for him to pass it along to the other side of the dining table. Then he reached out once again and took out another identical chicken burger while explaining:

“When the apocalypse had just started, my ability awakened. There just happened to be a fast food restaurant nearby.”

He then reached out his hand and took out another one, and then another one…… (a certain alien: Sorry everyone. The amount of black strands I currently have is too little, so synthesising things will be a little slow. I can only make one at a time.)

After taking out 11 burgers in succession, he then took out a packet of baby formula and handed it over to the big man on his left.

Everyone disbelievingly looked at the toasty grilled chicken burger in their hands. The sweet smell of roast chicken spread through the entire room, assaulting everyone's senses.

Amidst the silence, it was still Xu Yun Cheng who took the initiative and said: “Thank you.” He then took the lead and started to eat with big mouthfuls. The rest of the people immediately followed suit. Each saying a word of thanks, they then started to madly devour their burgers!

Only that strong woman Ya Nan was still clasping her burger, looking with astonishment at the somewhat pale black-haired youth who was sitting by the table and taking delicate bites out of his burger. But in the end, she also couldn't resist the temptation of food, taking a massive bite out of a third of her burger. Puchi! The fragrant chicken juice mixed with oil droplets splashed in her mouth. It was so delicious! She hadn't taste such fresh lettuce and sesame buns in four years! Ya Nan was so happy that her eyes were brimming with tears. While taking a big bite out of her burger, she vaguely asked the black-haired youth:

“Thanks! But previously…… why didn't you say that you were an ability user?”

A certain alien: “I……” Previously, my ‘ability' was lost!

“Perhaps Xiao Yi just wanted to see if we were good people!” Having already devoured his entire burger, Chen Da Yong expressed: “If we had only accepted ability users for personal profit, where would we still have burgers to eat?” He subtly glared at Ya Nan.

“That wasn't my intention!” Ya Nan refuted, but after finding that she couldn't clearly explain it at all, she simply ignored Chen Da Yong and turned to focus on her burger.

System 2d14: [Lord Host! What would happen if they knew that these burgers were made from zombies?]

A certain alien was currently unable to speak out and refute his stupid system, so he continued to eat and silently thought in his heart: The nitrogen in the lettuce that humans grow might have been produced from faecal excrement. The food I synthesise definitely has the least bacteria in the world! This is because I don't synthesise any bacteria. Humph!

When everyone had finish their burgers and, wishing for more, were covertly picking up the breadcrumbs on the table, Xu Yun Cheng once again said:

“Alright, everyone can go off and their own things! Xiao Yi, come here.”

Everyone complied with his command and scattered. After Huang Shen Er gave the black-haired youth an encouraging look, the youth then followed Xu Yun Cheng to the end of the hallway. Xu Yun Cheng turned around, deeply staring at the black-haired youth before asking:

“How much food do you still have in your space?”

The black-haired youth silently evaluated the weight of the zombies and said with hesitation: “There's still a lot…… about 250 kg?”

Hearing the youth's answer, Xu Yun Cheng's expression actually wasn't good at all. Frowning, he again asked:

“What happened to your left arm?”

The black-haired youth vaguely said: “I lost it when I was saving someone……” Of course, it was also I who killed that person.

Xu Yun Cheng looked at the black-haired youth, his frown becoming tighter. After a long while, he then said:

“I really don't know how you survived in the apocalypse until now with this kind of character! You're too naive! If you had gone to a corrupt base and were easily deceived by those people into divulging your space ability, then tortured until you hand over all your supplies before they kill you, what can you do?”

A certain alien: “……” Kill them.

Xu Yun Cheng: “In the future, don't easily disclose to strangers that you have several hundred kilograms of food in your space! Since the food was collected before you became a member of Chang Feng base, then you should just keep it for yourself. However, when we go out to collect supplies in the future, you need to follow along and help the base transport large items, do you understand?”

The black-haired youth: “Yes.”

Xu Yun Cheng nodded: “How big is your space right now?”

The black-haired youth answered without hesitation: “50 cubic metres.”

Xu Yun Cheng hated iron for not being steel: “How can you reveal information so easily!”

The black-haired youth: “……”

Xu Yun Cheng: “Alright, I understand. You can go back first and rest.”

After returning upstairs, the black-haired youth was pulled over by Old Chen's family of three and looked all over to make sure he was okay. They then started to introduce the members of Chang Feng base to him:

Leader Xu Yun Cheng, third level earth ability; Chu Nan, first level fire ability; there were also two university sweethearts Zhao Shu Xuan and Li Ze who respectively had a first level ice ability and a lightning ability.

The big man who was always carrying a small baby was called Wu Yi, a second level gold ability user. He also has a little brother, Wu Han, who was an ordinary person, but the two brothers both have military backgrounds. They were experts in fighting and proficient in firearms.

The strong woman Sun Ya Nan who was in charge of cooking has a second level water ability. Before the apocalypse, she was the CEO of a large company. Hence, in the base, there was now a total of 10 ability users, an ordinary person who was a soldier, and a little baby girl who was less than one years old.

At night, a certain alien returned to his own room and commanded a few black strands to extend from the window towards the surrounding wasteland, absorbing the nutrients from the withered grass.

He then synthesised a black high-necked sweater and a pair of black leather gloves for himself. After putting them on, the black-haired youth tried changing the part of himself covered under his clothing into his alien body and then looked into the mirror. Seeing that he still looked like a gentle and harmless eighteen or nineteen year old youth, he nodded his head with satisfaction.

Finally, the black-haired youth divided the remaining 250 kg of black strands in half and synthesised 35 kg of chicken eggs, 35 kg of fresh meat, 35 kg of rice, 15 kg of all kinds of breads and 10 kg of powdered milk. After arranging his space to looked as though he had ransacked a supermarket, only then did he feel at ease and fall asleep.

The next morning, after everyone wolfed down some bread and a boiled egg, Xu Yun Cheng cleared his throat and said:

“Winter is coming soon. In another four months, the average air temperature around Chang Feng base will drop to -40 degrees Celsius or lower. Afterwards, it will be even colder. Since the supply of electricity and heating was cut off at the start of the apocalypse, it would be very difficult for use to persevere through this. Our original plan was to stay in this house and rely on a fire ability user's flame to barely get by and keep us warm. But now, we have a space ability user! It's time to restart our expedition to the hospital! This time, the task is extremely dangerous, so I will personally lead the team. Besides Xiao Yi, I also need 6 more people to volunteer.”

Old Chen and his family rushed to join. The two university sweethearts then looked at each other and raised their hands. Sun Ya Nan knew that her water ability wasn't strong in combat, so she didn't say anything. At this moment, Chang Feng base's other fire ability user Chu Nan said:

“According to our rules, one fire ability user must stay behind at the base every time. Old Chen, you stay here. I'll go!”

“Ai, don't fight me for it.” Uncle Chen said: “Us two old folks are very skilled in coordinating between our wind and fire. If you went, you would only be an inconvenience to others! It's better if I go. That's decided.”

When Chu Nan heard this, he couldn't say anything else, so he just nodded his head.

Now, there was still one position left.

Wu Yi, the big second level gold ability user who was originally the backbone of the team, looked at the baby sleeping sweetly in his arms. He hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

Seeing his brother's hesitation, Wu Han got up and said: “I'll go! Although I don't have an ability, I won't dragged your hind legs!”

After the team was confirmed, everyone went to organise their equipment.

Half an hour later, eight people were sitting in 2 Jeeps, speeding along towards the dangerous zombie-infested city. And on the shoulder of every person quietly sat a small concealed lump of filaments.

“We have been to this hospital three times before. Two of the times, we made it to the power generation room, but the generators were too heavy and their were also too many zombies, so we didn't succeed. Instead, we lost 5 comrades. Initially, our Chang Feng base had more than 40 members…… Forget it, let's not talk about it!” Chen Da Yong changed the topic and said to the black-haired youth: “In a moment, you must follow us closely, okay? Can you use a gun?”

“I think so……” A certain alien was uncertain as he received a hand gun and a walkie-talkie.

At this moment, the Jeeps were already close to the city centre. There were more and more zombies on the side of the roads. Being attracted by the sound of the car engines, they stagger along towards the sole moving targets on the street. It was much more difficult to face second level zombies. The four abilities users who were good at long-range attacks continuously sent out whirlwinds, fireballs, ice blades and lightning to attack the second level zombies that were about to climb onto the cars. However, they were very difficult to kill with a single blow. Behind their cars, there was already a horde consisting of dozens of second level zombies!

“Damn it! There's even more second level zombies than last time!” Wu Han cursed and fiercely stepped down on the accelerator to keep up with the car in front.

After turning at an intersection, xx city's hospital building was within their sights!

“We're about to arrive. There's too many zombies! We can't let them trap us in the underground room.” Xu Yun Cheng's order came through the walkie-talkie. “Li Ze, Zhao Shu Xuan, Wu Han, you guys follow me upstairs and lead away the zombies. The rest will take Xiao Yi to the underground power generation room!”

The two cars charged into the entrance of the hospital one after another. Under Xu Yun Cheng's controll, the dirt on the lawn outside rapidly rose and formed an earth wall surrounding the hospital, delaying the zombies' advancement.

The eight of them took advantage of this interval and got out of the cars. Three people following Xu Yun Cheng, firing off warning shots as they dashed upstairs. Sure enough, the majority of the second level zombies who climbed over the earth wall followed the sounds of the gunshots and went upstairs. The black-haired youth followed Old Chen's family of three and ran towards the underground room!

Turning into the staircase that lead to the underground floor, they suddenly came to an abrupt stop. This was because the big metal door to the underground floor was firmly locked up with several iron chains! Chen Da Yong reached out and broke apart the tangled chains. The black-haired youth only felt an ominous premonition. He used the filament on Chen Da Yong's shoulder to penetrate the gap in the door and look……
