But with the Enemy Seeking Radar, the situation was completely different. All he needed to do was run down the main streets of Raccoon City because the radar could detect enemies within a five hundred-meter radius, which meant five hundred meters beyond both sides of the streets as well. The area covered was actually quite large.
Zhang Yanhang remembered that the entire Raccoon City was roughly over a hundred square kilometers in size, and the Enemy Seeking Radar could scan 0.785 square kilometers at a time. This meant that if he could explore new areas each time, it would take at most two hundred scans to cover the entire Raccoon City.
Therefore, theoretically, as long as Zhang Yanhang could roughly run through the streets of Raccoon City, he would have a complete understanding of the current zombie distribution in the city. Content originally comes from novel-fire.net
Hence, what Zhang Yanhang needed to do at the moment was to run while refreshing the Enemy Seeking Radar in his hand and to remember the number and location of zombies shown by the radar. Of course, it was impossible to remember everything. Even though he was an Awakener, his memory hadn't reached the stage of never forgetting a thing he had seen. So he just needed to have a general memory of which direction had more zombies.
This exploration was mainly to decide which direction Zhang Yanhang should head in first.
About an hour later, Zhang Yanhang stood in an empty alley, staring blankly at the object in front of him. In the previous hour, he had encountered Lickers and even a Tyrant, but their surprises were nothing compared to what lay before him now.
Because right now, Zhang Yanhang was looking at a slot machine, and not just any slot machine, but one that was shimmering with golden light.
What was more critical was that there was a price list and a prize catalog next to this slot machine. One soul point for a spin, with the first prize being a vial of T-virus, the second prize two vials of T-virus Enhancing Potion, the third prize a hundred zombies, and the fourth prize a thank you for participating.
"I really want to carry this slot machine back to my room. The third prize is a hundred zombies. If I kill them all, I'll have enough Soul points from the treasure boxes to level up." That's right, while zombies might scare others, to Zhang Yanhang, they were a pleasant surprise because he had Multiple Choice.
"Is it possible for me to sprint over from the apartment, about three thousand meters away, once Time Pause ends and carry it back?" Zhang Yanhang thought carefully. Along the way, there were quite a few zombies and Lickers. Although his Strength Attribute had improved, he could only carry about half a ton at most while moving on foot. Plus, the slot machine looked heavy, so it wasn't certain he could lift it, and carrying such a heavy object would also place a significant strain on him.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Yanhang still felt he should first clear the zombies in the vicinity before attempting to carry the slot machine, otherwise, the constant interruptions during the journey would really be annoying.
Mainly because he felt that a Licker's Attack Power would be much higher than an ordinary zombie's and was very likely to break through the defense of his Earth Spirit Fruit. If he were carrying the slot machine and a few Lickers suddenly popped out from the side of the street and attacked him all at once, it would be quite troublesome as he might end up torn apart and die on the spot.
"Forget it, let's continue exploring the map." Zhang Yanhang had almost run through the entire Raccoon City by now, and he found that this Raccoon City was much smaller than the one he remembered.
The original Raccoon City spanned over a hundred square kilometers, but the Raccoon City of Ashen World was at most around forty to fifty square kilometers, roughly only one-third the size of the original city. This discrepancy meant that what Zhang Yanhang originally thought would take several hours (two to three Time Pauses) to map out was now almost entirely accomplished in just one hour.
Ten minutes later, a fountain garden.
Following the slot machine, Zhang Yanhang had once again found something strange—a huge treasure box floating above the fountain, large enough to fit two or three adults with no issue, and it twinkled with the same golden light as the slot machine.
"The treasure boxes that I get from monsters are only the size of a fist, but this one is so big. What level of good items could come out of it?" Had his status not been fixed, Zhang Yanhang would probably be drooling by now.
However, due to Time Pause, he couldn't interact with it.
"It seems I'll have to wait until Time Pause ends to open this treasure box. I originally thought Ashen World was just about hunting monsters but, to my surprise, there are also fancy things like slot machines and big treasure boxes." Although fancy, Zhang Yanhang really liked these two items.

"Next, let's just open the treasure box. It's time to end this Time Pause." Zhang Yanhang felt that his task of exploring the map this time was almost completely accomplished.
"So, I choose '10 Soul points,' '10 Soul points,' 'Slow Corrotion,' 'Red Medicine Herb,' '10 Soul points.'" After Zhang Yanhang made his choice, Time Pause instantly ended, and he was back in the apartment room where he started. The window that had been opened in the Time Pause state had also returned to its original closed state.
"I originally thought that the treasure box from the Zombie Dog would contain other colors of medicinal herbs, like Yellow Medicine Grass or Blue medicinal herbs, or perhaps even bottled herbs... But to my surprise, it was just an ordinary Red Medicine Herb."
Zhang Yanhang wasn't too disappointed with the result. After all, it was only a First Tier Zero Star Teacup Poodle Zombie. It would've been strange if it had yielded anything rare.
Since there were quite a few places he wanted to go, Zhang Yanhang began to plan his next route. First, he definitely wasn't going to the city center for now, as there was a Tyrant there. He planned to farm ordinary zombies on the periphery and then fight the Tyrant in the city center.
As for the places he wanted to go, Zhang Yanhang had planned three in total, two of which were the slot machine and the big treasure box, and the third was a gun store. Indeed, Zhang Yanhang had found a gun store to the west of the apartment while mapping earlier, where there were not only a large number of firearms but also ample ammunition.
