'Hell ya, at last perks of crossing over are here.' my mood was over the top.
The reason was I realised that the screen appearing in front of me was a map and that to a 2D map like in games I have seen, giving my current location. And not only did it provide the live clip I could even see all other organisms in the perimeter around me.
But what was more surprising that even I was being shown by a clear blue dot in the map. This meant that I could even see anything hiding in the ground or undercover, like inside a building.
My excitement was over the roof. What should I do, maybe I can become like Chen Jiang, and become an immortal or god, now that the system his here, who dares look down on me.
Hehehehe.
Thinking about this my mind started functioning at hyperspeed, I about a minute, I already decided that I what type of lady I will have in my harem, what type of skill s I was going to be practising, like yellow emperor heavenly sutra nad ten thousand Budha refining body technique.
' Phil, calm down control your emotion ', I took deep breathes to calm my mind and heart, that was already planning 100 years into future and the name of my firstborn.
After calming himself Phil, realised that even though he was seeing the map, something was wrong, there was no voice in his head, no AI our spiritual identity coming to tell him the benefits of the system. When his mid turned till here, it suddenly went blank. Thinking that his system has somehow malfunctioned, his mind went crazy.
"System"
"Operator"
"Admin"
"Game Administrator"
"System operator"
"System online"

Seeing that nothing was working, Phil had a bad feeling.

"Francis, can we talk", asked Adam.
"Haha, look who is here our man of the hour. You, my man, have done a great job by bringing this meat back. Everybody!! Three cheers To our new Captain", shout Francis.
Hearing this all the drunkard of around them started howling, shouting hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray...
Two bodybuilders like even came forward and threw Adam into the air. While the Cheers continued.
Today was great for everyone in the stronghold. In these apocalyptic days, they could consume beer and have a taste of mutant meat, was already bountiful life. Today all the combatants around 60 people were int the party, as in the night, no human attacked, as night was not only bane for humans but also mutants as many of their own kind who slept in the day were active in the night. But our protagonist of the after a dozen time of air through cheers experience could only throw up.
After sometime when the party cooled down a little, Francis gestured to sit opposite to him on the table.
His face had returned to normal, as the leader of the stronghold, seeing serious works face Adam also settled down and poured everything truthfully about what happened today.
" So I think that there was someone who was there before us, but he was not really skilled, because we could easily sign of someone coming and taking something back. But as I was afraid that some other team from another stronghold may see us, I didn't investigate. But made it look like that we did not know about his incursion, and took back all the spoils we could. " said Adams, as he looked at the calm and collected expression of Francis.
" You did the right thing, Adam, we should not be to greedy and know our capabilities. In today's world having one more rifle and 5 trained men were more important than having meat from 1 or 2 more cockroaches," said Francis.
Standing up, he walked towards the side window saying," But now that we know that we can have some extra meet, maybe we can send a team to retrieve whatever is left tomorrow. With 15-20 brothers, we can easily take down whoever has taken 'our' meat hehe."
Turning back towards me, he smiled and said, " From your explanation, I can conclude that it was some strangers, with 1 or 2 combatants, and they knew that they could not take your term openly, and hence took a part of the spoil and retreated."
"And tomorrow we will make an example of them so that everyone in this area knows that we the costic cooperation our not someone, whose meat can be taken easily", said Francis with a cruel smile.
Realising that it was good opportunities, I also stood up and said:" Francis don't worry, you have promoted me to a captain, and I will show you my worth, by doing all your bidding to the point."
Hearing my gesture of being on his side, the smile on Francis's face grew even bigger.
Our stronghold, that is the 5 story building was controlled by caustic cooperation, before the apocalypse. It worked in investment, financial expert help, and banking. And it was said that there was a lot of backhand dealing in the upper management of the company.
This became true, as, after the apocalypse, most of the higher-ups showed their real colour. Bringing out big guns, they did all kind of felony with the fall of the government, it became a kingdom of powerful, and now after 3 years in the era of the apocalypse. Francis was the 4 leader, he used to be a middle-level player in the company, but in a year he instigated two rebellion and at last, he killed the boss and became a leader himself.
One should not be taken by his gentleman show, otherwise, he or she will not even know how he died.

"Huh" Phil breathed out in Exhaustion, for last 15 minutes, he had been trying to master his system it, but it was like that he had hit a wall no matter what he did, nothing happened. He was beginning to realise that his shitty luck had crossed over with him.
Or maybe some shitty god messed up while transferring him, and gave him a second-hand product >:(.
