（ Cleaners are activated lifeforms that can fly at low altitudes at extremely high speeds. Their sole targets are biological entities containing A-Z type synthetic protein within their bodies.）
（ The Cleaners are the Daleross Civilization's final desperate struggle. Unfortunately, everything on this planet has already been thoroughly infected; purification is destruction.）
（ Attention! Periodically, ancient whispers echo across this planet.）
（ During these whispers, creatures with a Mental Attribute below 8 will suffer indescribable pain. For creatures with a Mental Attribute below 5, their spines and nervous systems will activate and separate within a very short time.）
（ Suggestion: If you do not wish to become their cleaning target, do not directly consume any creatures, plants, or water from this planet.）
（ 1000 Points each）
After reading all the information, Zhao Feng's doubts only deepened.
' Ancient whispers... Who is whispering? What are they saying? And that Daleross Civilization, are they the original inhabitants of this world?'
Putting aside his many doubts for the moment, Zhao Feng looked towards the entrance of the tunnel.
For some reason, not a single zombie could be seen at this moment.
' With such a commotion, it's not like them to be absent...'
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. Combining various pieces of intelligence, he vaguely guessed a possibility.
' If it's truly as I suspect, then this is a rare opportunity.'
He acted as soon as he thought of it.
First, he left half of the emergency food.
Next, he wrote his exploration information on a piece of wood and placed it next to the food to make it more conspicuous.
Then, he used the Soil Resource Block that Ruolan had created earlier to re-secure all the melted walls.
Finally, he glanced at the woman lying on the ground. Zhao Feng sealed off the passage and left directly.
..
Arriving at the surface, where an endless horde of zombies should have been visible, only dense corpses remained.
Among them were worm zombies, normal zombies, and hunters.
All of them had lost their heads and spines and lay on the ground.
Swallowing, Zhao Feng looked up at the sky.
Dark clouds now covered the sky, completely obscuring the moonlight from before.
Lightning occasionally flashed across the night sky, intermittently illuminating vague shadows within the clouds, making them difficult to discern.
Large areas of the surrounding forest were ablaze, casting a bright light all around.
To the east, countless Cleaners were converging.
Squinting, Zhao Feng adjusted his direction, aiming northeast, and quickly ran.
His objective was simple: take advantage of the "whispers" that had instantly killed the mutated creatures on the ground and use this absolute safety period to loot!
As for following the Cleaners to pick up scraps...
That would depend on whether the looting went smoothly and if he could obtain any powerful weapons.
One hour later.
Five kilometers northeast of the base, on the edge of the wireless power supply network.
After exploring for a while, Zhao Feng followed the zombie corpses and finally found the five-story villa Ruolan had escaped from.
He skillfully operated his equipment to drill through the wall.
Entering the building, he found four pieces of equipment on a table on the first floor.
Stepping over the piles of corpses, his eyes filled with joy as he began to examine the attributes of the equipment.
【 Chainsaw Sword Lv.1】 Attack Power: 1, Armor Penetration: 1, Tearing: 1, Attack Speed: 5.0
Strength Requirement: 6
Agility Requirement: 5
（ Don't be misled by the name; this is a chainsaw that looks like a sword. Its teeth are single-molecule blades. Its attack essence is to use pressure to cut through armor or weapons.）
（ Attention! If your Strength is insufficient to wield a melee weapon, you can hold it with both hands, which will reduce the Strength requirement by 50%. However, if your Agility is insufficient, attempting to use it forcefully will likely result in self-injury.）
（ Armor Penetration: 1. When facing unarmored units, it will cause a crushing effect.）
（ Tearing: 1. Your attacks will easily dismember the target.）
Looking at the uniquely designed large blade in front of him, with its dense rows of teeth along the edge, Zhao Feng couldn't help but gasp.
' Hiss, if this thing were secured at the entrance of my tunnel, I wouldn't even need to guard the base. With the chainsaw on, wouldn't zombies die no matter how many came?'
He gripped it firmly with both hands and pulled the trigger-like device on the hilt.
With a unique motor sound, the dense teeth began to spin rapidly.
After playing with it for a bit, Zhao Feng put it into his Auxiliary Backpack.
The attribute requirements for this thing were a bit too high for him to handle right now, so he could only put it away for the time being and see if the next piece of equipment was usable.
【 Rocket Gauntlets Lv.1（ Left）】 Strength +2, Attack Power: 0.1, S-Type Universal Slot: 1, Special Skill: Rocket Fist
Strength Requirement: 4. After activating the slot, Strength Requirement +3.
Constitution Requirement: 4. When activating the special skill, Constitution Requirement +4.
（ One of the Hell Soldier series armor sets.）
（ Rocket Fist: Consumes 10% energy to generate 10kN of thrust for 5-15 seconds.）
（ Attention! After you use the special skill, these gauntlets will instantly become suicide gauntlets.）
（ The rocket engine on the elbow will break your arm the moment it activates. If control is lost, due to the connection of muscle and membrane, there is a 34.5% chance the Rocket Gauntlets will ricochet and hit your chest, and a 65.5% chance they will fly around uncontrollably, taking you with them.）
（ Suggestion: Use the special skill after finding body components, or disengage the safety lock and use it as an RPG.）
Swallowing, Zhao Feng felt that it wasn't without reason that these people were wiped out.
How were such bizarre pieces of equipment even chosen?
Even if they were all armed, they would probably still be doomed facing a zombie horde.
Look at this stuff, what is all this?
They're powerful, sure, but they all come with some self-harm attribute.
Shaking his head, he put his left hand into the gauntlet. With a series of "clack, clack" sounds.
This mechanically-infused gauntlet fit perfectly onto his left arm.
While called a gauntlet, it looked more like an arm guard.
He attempted to punch the ground.
"Bang!"
"Holy crap!"
Half of his arm was embedded in the dirt.
His body was contorted into an awkward posture, sticking up in the air.
Spitting out the dirt from his mouth, Zhao Feng looked around. After confirming no one had seen him.
With a strong pull, he easily extracted his fist.
He flexed his fingers; there was no obstruction, it was incredibly flexible and smooth!
Standing up again, he checked the other two pieces of equipment.
The other two pieces of equipment were nothing special.
One was a 【 Electric Mule 】 and the other was a 【 S-Type Pulse Laser Emitter 】.
The Electric Mule could be used to help transport goods. Its storage space could hold a large number of Resource Blocks.
However, Zhao Feng already had an Auxiliary Backpack, so this item was not very useful.
Well... it's better than nothing~
The S-Type Pulse Laser Emitter was a welcome addition.
It solved his awkward situation of not having any military-grade weapons.
He stored all the equipment in his Auxiliary Backpack. Before leaving, Zhao Feng did not forget to set the building ablaze.
It was a way to mourn his fallen compatriots.
Using the fire behind him as light, Zhao Feng looked towards the distant area where the Cleaners were gathered.
' Now, it's time for the main course.'
