Chapter 5, Light and Fire

The crimson muscle tissue and blood vessels are chaotically exposed, resembling the anatomical diagrams of human muscle tissue from biology class

The stone statues in the courtyards and on the streets seem to have come to life at this moment, as if the entire deceased city has also been revived

It is unknown how many years the compressed biscuits have existed, but they have been gradually melted and broken down into a pot of porridge

He took out a can of braised pork that had already expired but was not yet swollen, along with two bags of dehydrated vegetables, and casually tossed them into the pot to start making soup

At that moment, a series of footsteps emerged from the darkness outside, the steps were hurried and heavy, creating a distinctly eerie atmosphere

Someone has escaped the curse of the basilisk

It cannot be said to be exceptionally delicious, but it excels in its warm, savory flavor, which is quite commendable in this environment

Two police handguns, one submachine gun, one shotgun, four grenades hanging from the waist, along with a large quantity of ammunition, all packed to the brim

The aged canned beef in the pot, when blended with the freshly roasted venison, emits an enticing aroma

Shen Feng pressed the muzzle against the lock and fired, breaking open the door. The scene inside the warehouse unfolded before him, catching his eye.

The magazine of this gun has been reloaded, and after carefully familiarizing himself with the structure of the firearm, he has mastered a series of skills such as loading ammunition and disengaging the safety.

Therefore, he should go to the core research institution for stone disease in this world

Where exactly should one go to search for the mission objectives

After a brief trial operation, Shen Feng immediately discovered the key to activation. He then donned a police stab-resistant vest and backpack, beginning to arm himself

He then sat cross-legged on the ground, placing two guns beside him, holding a soup spoon in his hand. He scooped a spoonful of meat porridge, blew on it twice, and began to eat while gazing out at the scenery.

A shadow swiftly darted in from outside the yard, arriving downstairs, seemingly looking up at Shen Feng

Should one's destination be here

Shen Feng let out a satisfied sigh, as the tense nerves he had just experienced finally relaxed completely

The remaining piece of venison was also cut in half by Shen Feng, torn into chunks, and thrown in.

At this moment, he still feels a sense of unreality akin to a dream

The ladle is exceedingly large, likely intended for stirring a large pot of food; however, Shen Feng does not concern himself with such details, gently stirring the contents of the pot.

In Shen Feng's mind, a thick fog enveloped him. According to the game's description of the Stone Statue Disease, he should have been infected with the disease from the very first minute he entered this world

Rows of handguns and submachine guns hung on the gun rack, along with boxes of ammunition and even grenades

Upon reviewing the five tasks assigned by the game, they are essentially all related to the research on stone disease

In addition to food and daily necessities, the backpack also contained a considerable amount of ammunition

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel somewhat grateful for the shooting games he had played in the past, as well as the action movies he had watched.

There is definitely his mission objective there

A blood-red face devoid of skin, with exposed eyeballs staring intently at Shen Feng

In the days to come, it is estimated that we will need to remain in a state of readiness, thus it is imperative to adapt as quickly as possible

The world before the complete outbreak of the Stone Statue Disease was evidently in great chaos, prompting the police to strengthen their firepower

His face seems to be smiling

Shen Feng extended the shotgun

To determine the location of core research institutions, it is necessary to consult various informational materials regarding the arrival of the end times of the Stone Disease.

What do these tasks represent

After a brief pause, the tense nerves began to relax slightly, and the aching legs gradually regained their strength. Shen Feng stood up, closed the door securely, picked up the heavy shotgun, and began to explore the police station.

After the recent ferocious tiger assault, he has developed a fervor for firepower

Unfortunately, there is no electricity left in this world; otherwise, I could still use the remaining computer to access information and learn about some details regarding the Stone Disease

Shen Feng added a few pieces of firewood to the pile behind him, turned his head to look outside, and suddenly froze in shock

Although these ingredients did not seem to have any issues in terms of smell, Shen Feng still decided to cook them a little longer just to be safe

The aroma of the broth quickly spread, and Shen Feng took out a palm-sized compressed biscuit from his bag, smashed it with the butt of his gun, and gradually tossed bits into the pot

Only with the experiences drawn from artistic works was he barely able to wield these weapons

In the face of the crystallization of human civilization, no beast stands a chance.

Only by firmly grasping this gun can he feel a sense of security

Upon careful consideration, this world also uses Chinese characters, and the overall level of social development is almost the same as that of Earth, even referring to itself as Earth in newspapers

The entire armory contains a total of thirty to forty handguns, five submachine guns, two shotguns, as well as five grenades, along with several tear gas launchers and capture net guns

Hoo... Hoo...

It is indeed the territory of the tiger, which possesses a natural deterrent effect on other animals

A flash of inspiration struck Shen Feng's mind, and he suddenly recalled a certain headline from a newspaper he had seen earlier at the newsstand

Not right

Is there really anyone alive

However, he did not reduce the items

With these powerful weapons, he is the king of all beasts in the jungle of this city

"Slurp..." Shen Feng took a sip of the meat porridge, which tasted quite good, with a rich aroma and a texture somewhat reminiscent of century egg and lean meat porridge

At this time yesterday, he had just finished class and was preparing to work at a barbecue stall. Today, he unexpectedly found himself in this apocalyptic world plagued by stone statues, sitting in a dilapidated building eating porridge made from compressed biscuits and expired canned beef.

Shen Feng leaned against the corpse of the tiger, breathing heavily, tightly gripping the shotgun in his hand, with a few rounds of ammunition still in his pocket

There are also quite a few items such as bulletproof vests, riot shields, and batons

Thus, this is not different worlds of the same universe, but rather Earth from a parallel universe, a Earth that has experienced an apocalypse

A humanoid creature with all fours on the ground emerged from the blazing flames

These items together weigh nearly dozens of pounds, making it somewhat strenuous for Shen Feng to walk.

In addition, although there are some insects and similar organisms, there are no large animals.

The door to the armory was firmly locked, but with the shotgun in hand, it was naturally no challenge for Shen Feng

National Academy of Sciences

At this moment, it is already evening, the setting sun resembling blood, and the sky is filled with golden-red clouds. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window, the entire urban jungle is bathed in a layer of dreamlike golden-red hue

When the food in the pot had turned into a thick porridge, Shen Feng finally removed the pot from the fire and placed it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window

In the distance, amidst the darkness, at the top of a tall building, a light unexpectedly illuminated from a certain window

Having equipped himself with weapons and ammunition, Shen Feng arrived at the large floor-to-ceiling window in the hall on the second floor of the building, set up the pot he had found in the police station kitchen, placed a pile of firewood underneath, and began to start a fire to cook.

Moreover, the most important question is whether I can return by myself

Why was I chosen as the player

Entering the armory and reaching out to touch the firearms and ammunition within, Shen Feng felt a profound sense of security arise within him

Shen Feng suddenly stood up, grabbed a burning log, and threw it out of the window

Who exactly developed the game "Real Apocalypse"?

The dried vegetables, which had almost turned to powder, regained their vitality after being soaked in hot water, expanding and floating in a colorful display in the pot, thus achieving a harmonious blend of color, aroma, and flavor

Inside the building, there were quite a few statues dressed in uniforms. Shen Feng navigated around them and found the armory on the basement level.

In the dark building, a group of bats had already made their home, startled by the recent gunfire, they flew in and out.

The sky has completely darkened, night has fallen, and the entire urban jungle has swiftly plunged into a realm of darkness, resembling a black dead zone

According to Professor Chen from the National Academy of Sciences, the latest vaccine is about to be completed

All was silent, and every sound seemed exceptionally clear
