Night of the Apocalypse

Chapter 22: What a surprise

Views:

Although the overall exterior decoration is quite dilapidated, it still gives people a different feeling.

Shen Qiu locked onto the building at first sight. He thought for a few seconds and then made a decision, deciding to take the risk and go there.

He touched it carefully.

No one knew whether it was luck that favored Shen Qiu or his good character, but he managed to reach the back of the building safely.

Shen Qiu looked at the building so close, and his eyes narrowed immediately. He keenly noticed that this building was very different from the other buildings. Although they were all steel structures, the walls of this building were obviously much thicker.

Moreover, the open rear door is also a specially customized protective door.

At this moment, the faint morning light shone on the ruined city.

Shen Qiu was suddenly startled. It was almost dawn, so he immediately went into the building.

He now doesn't know whether it is relatively safer during the day or more dangerous.

After entering the building, Shen Qiu stopped immediately. He saw a humanoid skeleton lying on the ground. The skeleton was wearing a black vest-like bulletproof vest with bullet holes all over it, a protective helmet on its head, and a gun in its hand that looked like a combination of a shotgun and a rifle.

Shen Qiu immediately squatted down and picked up the gun gently. The moment he picked it up, the skeleton's palm shattered directly, which showed how long he had been dead.

Shen Qiu took a glance and then focused his attention on the gun in his hand. He carefully inspected and disassembled it.

After some inspection, he found that it was neither a shotgun nor a rifle, but a large-caliber automatic gun with a magazine capacity of seven rounds, and there were currently three bullets in the magazine.

In addition, the material of the bullets in the magazine is also very special, and the bullet head is extremely hard, a bit similar to the bullet head of an armor-piercing bullet.

Its power should not be underestimated, and it should be able to cause enough damage to those scavengers and monsters.

Shen Qiu was very satisfied with reinstalling the disassembled magazine, and then he took off the skeleton's bulletproof vest and helmet without hesitation.

He put them on all at once, but after a while, he felt that the bulletproof vest was so heavy, at least 15 kilograms, and the helmet was several kilograms. Then Shen Qiu took off the protective helmet and threw it away, feeling that it was too uncomfortable to wear and affected his movements.

Shen Qiu then continued to search the pockets of the corpse's clothes and soon took out a magnetic card and a bunch of mechanical keys.

He then put it away and continued to grope forward.

If his guess was correct, the body just now should be the security guard of this building. He was about to escape through the back door but was shot dead.

There was a confusing point here that made Shen Qiu very puzzled.

Was the original inhabitants of this city destroyed by monsters or mechanical weapons

Before Shen Qiu could figure it out, he came to the hall.

Glancing at the severely damaged hall, Shen Qiu's left eyelid twitched suddenly.

From the remaining displays and decorations, he recognized at a glance that this was a bank building.

He suppressed his restless heart and looked around carefully. There were cameras on the walls around the hall, but all of them had stopped working.

There were two bodies lying in an office area with closed windows inside, and three bodies in the hall outside, one of whom was a security guard whose bulletproof vest was intact.

Shen Qiu immediately walked over, took it off and replaced it with the one he was wearing.

Unfortunately, there was no bullet in the gun in the corpse's hand.

As for the other four bodies, judging from the styles of their moldy clothes, none of them looked like high-ranking officials.

Shen Qiu found a pile of magnetic cards, banknotes, electronic bracelets, and mechanical keys on them.

He threw away the banknotes and stuffed the rest into his backpack, waiting to discard them later if they were not needed.

After Shen Qiu finished doing all this, he walked to the elevator entrance. He stretched out his hand and tried pressing a few times, but there was no response.

If nothing unexpected happened, the building should have completely lost power and all facilities should have stopped functioning.

Shen Qiu pondered for a moment, then walked to the emergency staircase next to him. He looked at going up and down the stairs, then chose to go down.

A bank building of this size should normally have a vault, and facilities like vaults are usually placed in underground areas.

Of course, Shen Qiu just went there to give it a try and didn't hold out much hope. After all, the protection level of this kind of facility is usually very high.

He walked down the emergency stairs. There was a steel protective door at every corner, but these protective doors were either open or destroyed by violence.

Therefore, Shen Qiu walked down unimpeded, but the light became darker and visibility became lower and lower as he went down.

As a last resort, Shen Qiu could only take out his mobile phone, turn it on and turn on the flashlight for lighting.

Soon he arrived at the deepest underground level, and a dark metal corridor appeared in front of him.

Shen Qiu walked along the way and saw several corpses lying on the ground. He did not rush to continue exploring forward, but searched the corpses one by one.

As a result, he found a bunch of magnetic cards and mechanical keys.

If Shen Qiu guessed correctly, these dead people should be employees of this bank.

He must have been killed before he could escape.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu continued to move forward.

It didn't take long for Shen Qiu to reach the end of the vault. The entrance to the vault was a round closed metal gate. From the appearance, it can be seen that the gate is very thick and it is almost impossible to destroy it violently.

Fortunately, the safe's protective gate was open. There was a mechanical lock with a round dial on the gate, and a mechanical key was inserted on it.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath and walked in cautiously.

Entering the dark vault, Shen Qiu raised the light of his mobile phone and shone it over.

At a glance, there were tilted shelves everywhere and fallen things all over the floor.

Shen Qiu squatted down and was slightly stunned when he saw the things scattered on the ground, except for the dusty banknotes.

He also saw some rectangular objects. He reached out and picked up one, blew away the dust on the surface, and a golden luster suddenly appeared.

Shen Qiu's heart skipped a beat. He weighed it, then put it in his mouth and took a bite.

A complicated expression appeared on his face. This was real gold.

Shen Qiu took a quick look at the vault and saw it was all over the floor.

He made a rough estimate and found that there were at least five or six tons here. If he took it out, it would definitely be an unimaginable huge fortune.

If this had been any other time, he would have been ecstatic.

But Shen Qiu soon calmed down and threw the gold in his hand on the ground.

Although the thing is good, it is useless when your life is in danger.

Shen Qiu walked towards the safe inside, ready to search to see if there was anything else to find.

When he walked in front of the safe, he was slightly startled. The entire safe had been bombarded by heavy weapons and was in tatters.

In front of the safe, there were some scattered body parts and a lot of mess.

Shen Qiu squatted down and began to sort out the fallen things. There were exquisite jewelry, documents, and various strange things, which should be antiques.

Suddenly, Shen Qiu's eyes were attracted by something on the ground, and he reached out and picked it up.

This is a very special mechanical blade, 120cm long, with a metal dragon pattern engraved on the black handle. Shen Qiu blew away the dust covering the surface, revealing a cool black metal scabbard.

Shen Qiu pulled out the mechanical blade, and a cold blade was instantly revealed. It looked very sharp, and no one knew what material it was made of.

Shen Qiu inserted the blade into the scabbard and picked it up to play with it.

He pondered for a moment, this weapon should be an antique of their time. However, it was sharp and hard, and could be used for self-defense, at least it was much more reliable than the fruit knife he had found before.
