'Out of the 37 excess, I used 20 to make water. I should leave the 17 till 11:50, in case the hunting drains my energy shield faster.' Adrian thought, tapping his chin.
'I will try to catch all, but if I find lower levels like level 1, I will rather hunt them for the bioreactor. When I gain an extra 50% energy, I can even go for a radar scan.'
With his plan well thought out, Adrian started the fabrication of 5 bonding spheres, as the 50 energy chips had just finished being fabricated.
He walked around the control room, gathering all the 'weapons' he had for a hunt.
He had already realised that the rocks were the best forms of weaponry to hunt, so he went around, first picking all the rocks in the control room before going out and gathering more.
'It's a shame that my inventory can hold only a single item it, I can't add too many on my shirt.'
Adrian, still shirtless, was currently using his shirt as a makeshift bag, to tie up a bunch of rocks inside it and then touching it to store it inside his inventory.
The inventory given by his lovely talent window, worked to store only a single item, but that item could be a chest or a bag, with all the items inside it also getting stored.
Preparations done, Adrian stood up straight and stretched his back, looking around him to search for a suitable target, someone or something that was decently far away from everything else.
He also avoided the thicket of trees, as he had no clue what might leap out of the shadows and blind spots.
"Farzom, your task is to now search for suitable seeds that can be planted and they grow into food. Aim for fruits and berries, something that can be eaten readily." Adrian ordered.
'Bringing him will be quite useless, as he can't go out of the shield.' he thought, he had brought him previously just to test the waters, and if something went wrong, he wanted support.
But now, he has a little more confidence in himself.
In addition, Farzom, looking for food and seeds was more important than carrying rocks for Adrian, like a good little steward.
'Ah shit, can't I escape couples even in this world?' Adrian grumbled with twitching eyelids, spotting a pair of zombies who were wandering near the area shield.
One clearly looked like a female, while the other was a male.
Their hands were interlocked, as they growled and staggered across the field together.
There was no other zombie or beast in sight, but them being in a pair worried Adrian.
He began to inch closer to the zombies, and when there were only 15 meters left, the zombies noticed Adrian, who was holding a thick, blunt stick and a thin, pointed stick in his each hand.
Their interlocked arms remained as it is, as they both growled at Adrian and threw themselves at him, crumbling against the shield in the process.
'Interesting, they aren't letting it go even now?' Adrian thought amusedly, as he was close enough to see their health now.
[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 4

[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 3
HP: 125/140
MP: 0/0 ]]
Adrian gulped in dread seeing the high levels of his enemies, who were each using one hand to claw and scratch the energy shield.
'Aim the weaker one,' Adrian took a deep breath and stabilized his arm, before gripping the thinner and pointy stick hard and ramming it in the male's skull.
Blood splattered and a growl died out in the male's throat as the makeshift spear drilled further.
[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 3
HP: 72/140
MP: 0/0 ]]
The female zombie on the other side, lunged at Adrian the moment her male was attacked.
But luckily, Adrian had retreated the instant he impaled his skull, causing the female to miss and break the makeshift spear in the process.
"Talent Window!" Adrian hurriedly opened his inventory and retrieved the bag of rocks, not taking any further chances with the melee weapons.
He picked up the biggest rock, throwing it at his maximum power at the female zombie's head.
'I love throwing without holding back, since there is no way I'm dealing 140 HP of damage,' Adrian cackled in his head, like an evil lv 100 gamer in a beginner village.
He quickly picked up two more rocks and threw another at the female, before throwing an extra powered one at the male.
[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 3
HP: 50/140
MP: 0/0 ]]
[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 4
HP: 86/150
MP: 0/0 ]]
Even after getting hit by 2 rocks, the female's HP was still strangely healthy, making Adrian assume that because of her high level, her defence must have been quite high.
He wasn't dealing too crazy a damage to the male either, but it was still manageable.
"Tough ass power couple," Adrian spat, "Let's see how your capture probability is."
He left the zombies to scratch his shield for a few moments, as he dashed backwards and brought 2 bonding spheres from the control room.
[[ Capture Probability: 1% ]]
[[ Capture Probability: 14% ]]
'Gosh… that's atrocious…' Adrian blinked in daze, not expecting such a low probability.
No wonder the people on the chat were complaining about losing spheres.
Adrian looked back at the small collection of his stones and rocks, wondering if it would be enough to chip away at these tanky rotten bastards.
But he couldn't know unless he tried it, so without any delay, Adrian stretched his arm and began throwing the rocks at the zombies at his full power.
The level 3 took 2 more rocks to the face before his HP was lowered to a critical red.
As for the level 4, she was still quite healthy even after 3 more rocks to the face.
Now only a single rock was left, and it certainly wasn't enough to lower her to a critical degree.
[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 3
HP: 16/140
MP: 0/0 ]]
[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 4
HP: 39/150
MP: 0/0 ]]
'Fuck you, lady!' Adrian grit his teeth and threw the rock with every bit of power his body could muster, looking like a baseball pitcher.
As the rock hit the female zombie, the skull was cracked and blood erupted like a fountain. As if hit by a concussion, the zombie dizzily moved backwards before slumping to the ground.
She wasn't dead, as shown by her HP which was shockingly at mere 5, and still falling.
[[ Corrupted Human - Lv 4
HP: 4/140
MP: 0/0 ]]
Adrian picked up the bonding sphere, and the probability appeared again.
[[ Capture Probability: 69% ]]
Another second passed, the HP fell to 3, and the probability rose by 2%.
But for Adrian, he watched with bated breath.
'Is it finally the time to use my talent?'
