Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse

Chapter 52: Horus Eye Mercenaries (1)

"What's about the Horus Eye Mercenaries?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. He knew that anything they talked about after this is likely confidential.

Captain Hu looked at Ruo-Lan. After giving her a nod, the maid with martial skill made her way outside the room and returned with a file in her hand a few minutes later.

"This is what we're allowed to let you know. Please forgive us for keeping certain information off from you as it might be sensitive in your position. But what you need to know is all printed inside that file." Captain Hu said.

"Then… Please excuse me for a while." Zhang Qin Feng took the file and opened it to the first page.

Zhang Qin Feng's eyes narrowed as he saw a familiar face on one of the attached photographs inside the file. No wonder Captain Xu said that the new worker of his uncle is suspicious.

"So… What kind of cooperation you're looking forward from me? I'm just a regular citizen without training. I don't think I am capable enough to help you in catching the terrorist." said Zhang Qin Feng.

"Of course, we won't request you to do that. Furthermore, you're not a member of the armed force. But we'd like you to help because I believe that they yet to get what they want. We suspect that they might reach out to you or the young lady in the next few days." Captain Hu said.

"In the meantime, can you persuade young miss to remain in the Wang Estate? We'll send some undercover soldiers to protect you and your uncle as well," he added.

"Of course." Zhang Qin Feng agreed. No matter how skillful he is, he can't protect the two most important people by his side at all times.

"Then… We'll arrange it as soon as possible." Captain Hu said.

…

…

That afternoon, a driver fetched Zhang Qin Feng from the Wang Estate.

"Driver uncle, please drop me at the Suihe General Hospital. You may come back after this." Zhang Qin Feng said.

"Understood. If there's anything or anywhere you wanted to go, feel free to give me a call. My place is located near the Manyue Restaurant, so it won't be long before I arrive where you need me." the driver said.

The journey towards the hospital is a quiet one.

He went straight into his uncle's room after making sure which room he was assigned. After entering the room, Zhang Qin Feng's heart almost fell as he looks at how serious is his uncle's injury. There's no doubt that he was tortured for information.

[The system has a suggestion to the user. Would the user choose to listen?]

Stein speaks inside Zhang Qin Feng's mind.

'Go ahead.' he pulled the nearby chair over. Resting on it, Zhang Qin Feng is waiting for what Stein had to say.

[The system suspected that the terrorist organization is still searching for something. Would the user accept the suggestion to only applying sufficient drops on the heavily injured places?]

'Tell me why the system suggested such an idiotic idea. Should I let my uncle stay in this state until the terrorist is captured before helping him to recover? While using the pretense of I am trying to save his life as the reason for not healing him?'

Zhang Qin Feng shows the irritation on his face. His facial expression is at the zenith of anger right now as he looked at his uncle. He's literally mutilated by the terrorist during his interrogation, to the point where not a single spot on his back is considered untouched.

Right now, even getting a night of sleep is difficult for his uncle as he had to be supported by bandages across his four limbs. Moving around is out of the question. There's also waste equipment attached to his rectum and genital.

[Based on the system deduction and the report provided by the Tianhe Special Squadron, the terrorist will likely return to look for your uncle. Helping him recovering faster is equal to delivering him to his death earlier]

Stein said.

'And by what reason, the system comes up with this deduction? Just because my uncle is still alive?' Zhang Qin Feng asked.

[The system deduction is based on 331 knife wounds on your uncle's body. Out of 331 attempts, 76 blows are evenly distributed on his four limbs, nineteen strikes on each side. For the remaining 255 blows, 125 is on his back, 60 on the chest, 40 on the face, and 30 all around his crotch]

'Your point is?' Zhang Qin Feng closed his eyes. Each blow that landed on his uncle hurt Zhang Qin Feng mentally as he thinks about how his uncle manages to stand the torture.

[Not a single blow struck his wrist and the main artery around his neck. This means the interrogator is intending to get the information and not killing him. The system deducted that this "interrogator" will likely return after your uncle regains his consciousness]

'Then…' Zhang Qin Feng's expression changed. After thinking back about the words he used earlier, Zhang Qin Feng lowered his head as he gently whispered a word.

"Sorry…"

[The user shouldn't apologize. The system's appearance in your life is not to interfere with your life but to provide as much help as possible. And, of course, the system demands appropriate compensation in return for the support provided]

'What should I do now?' Zhang Qin Feng asked.

[For now, the user should just spray them across the wounds that have re-opened. By applying them continuously for five days, it should be enough for your uncle to recover faster than a regular person by a month]

'Alright. Let's go back after this.' Zhang Qin Feng went to lock the door into his uncle's patient room and took the Instant Recovery Spray out.

*Pshh!*

*Pshh!*

He started to apply the medication randomly over his uncle's back.
