Night of the Apocalypse

Chapter 23: Choice

Views:

Shen Qiu glanced around, picked up a simple white precious metal necklace from the ground, put it on the scabbard, and pinned the mechanical blade to his waist.

This will not affect subsequent actions.

He then continued to search through other things scattered on the ground and the broken safe.

See if you can find something useful.

There are many things left here. Although many of them have been destroyed by violence, there are still many intact things.

As Shen Qiu was flipping through the documents, he found a file bag made of a very special material, which had a seal.

As soon as you open it, the seal will be broken, and you can see that there are important things inside.

He opened it quickly and found a pile of papers inside. He pulled them out and took a look, and found that they were all densely packed with drawings of the structure of mechanical parts.

Each picture is marked with various densely packed tadpole characters.

Shen Qiu flipped through the sheets one by one, his brows slightly moving. This looked a bit like a paper copy of some confidential drawings.

It's a pity that it's too complicated and it's impossible to see the meaning of it. However, this does not prevent Shen Qiu from judging its value. He put it back into the file bag and put it in his backpack.

He continued to search patiently for other things.

Half an hour later, Shen Qiu turned the place upside down and gathered together all the valuable things.

Then Shen Qiu opened his backpack, poured out everything inside, and reorganized it.

He looked at the things on the floor and finally made a decision. He put the files, a book, a gem necklace, two gem rings, an unopened bottle of medicine, a lighter, and a more advanced electronic bracelet into his backpack. As for the magnetic card and mechanical key, he put them in the side compartment. If they were not used when exploring upstairs, he would just throw them away.

His criteria for choosing these things was that they were light weight, and he had to ensure that his speed and agility would not be affected too much.

After finishing the arrangement, Shen Qiu put on his backpack again. At this time, his eyes fell on the piles of gold bricks on the ground, and a rare complex expression appeared in his eyes.

He never thought that one day he would be able to see so much money.

Of course, it’s not that Shen Qiu doesn’t want to take these gold bricks, nor is it that he regards money as waste dirt. On the contrary, he needs money more than anyone else now.

Even though he lives in the seventh ring of Hongmeng Qingkong and owns his own house, and seems to be living a good life, all those things were earned with his life.

And his income now fluctuates greatly and is extremely unstable.

In fact, most people in the Red Alliance are struggling to survive. The reason why we can't see this part of people is that they don't live in the Tenth Ring, but live outside the Tenth Ring.

Of course, this situation is caused more by the development of the times and the shortage of various resources, which has led to the infinite widening of the gap between the rich and the poor.

Although the Red Alliance has made various responses and rescue efforts, and even explicitly stipulated that the main city of each administrative district, within the third ring road, is allowed to use advanced technology to create as many jobs as possible, unfortunately this is still a drop in the bucket.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath. Although these gold bricks on the ground were not large in size, each one weighed more than ten kilograms.

If he carries one piece, the weight will increase significantly and he will be greatly affected.

Not to mention, due to lack of food and drink and lack of good rest, his physical strength has declined significantly.

If you force yourself to carry it in this state, you might lose your life if you encounter danger.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you must not take it. Some people would rather take the risk to take it. It depends on your choice.

As for Shen Qiu, he had already made his choice. He withdrew his reluctant gaze and walked out of the vault with a gun in his hand.

He looked at the open round metal gate, then stepped forward and pressed his arm against it, trying to see if he could close it with force.

The gate is so thick that he cannot push it alone under normal circumstances. However, if it has a mechanical hydraulic power assist device, that would be a different story.

Crunch!

Not to mention that as Shen Qiu exerted force, the thick gate was pushed little by little by Shen Qiu.

It seems that he has good luck.

Snap!

The entire closed gate was closed again.

Then Shen Qiu looked at the mechanical combination dial, wrote down the combination scale, pulled out the key, and shuffled the combination dial.

He really couldn't take the good things in the vault away, but that didn't mean he wouldn't have the chance in the future.

After doing all this, Shen Qiu returned to the safety stairs and climbed up to the second floor. The light gradually recovered as he went higher, so he turned off his phone and put it away.

A few minutes later, Shen Qiu arrived at the second floor, which was the office area.

The central area is full of partitioned workstations, with several separate rooms on both sides.

The scene was in a mess, with a lot of body parts and bullet holes all over the desks and walls.

Shen Qiu walked over and did a quick search. The most common items left at the scene were folders, which contained documents like reports. Of course, these were of no value.

As for the rooms on both sides, one was locked, but Shen Qiu opened it with the key he found.

This room is an archive room, and as for the other rooms, they should be for supervisors or something like that.

Shen Qiu found a lot of things in these rooms, but he threw them all away.

Holding a gun, he walked cautiously towards the third floor.

Two hours later, Shen Qiu appeared in the corridor on the thirteenth floor. He stood at the door of a room and gently opened the half-closed door with his toes.

The turbid air rushed towards me.

Shen Qiu held his breath and walked in with a gun. The light inside the room was very dim.

After a closer look, I saw all kinds of sundries and tools placed around, including office chairs, miscellaneous accessories, nylon ropes, gloves and the like.

He observed for a moment and then walked out.

Shen Qiu continued to explore upstairs. There were cameras everywhere along the way, whether it was the corridors or the stairs.

Although these cameras are paralyzed, Shen Qiu always takes a glance at them from time to time just in case.

But fortunately everything is normal.

After a long time, Shen Qiu appeared on the top floor. There were only four rooms on this floor.

If I'm not mistaken, the people working on this floor should be the top managers of the bank.

Shen Qiu walked straight towards the first room. In the center of the room was a computer, which looked very high-end.

It’s a pity that the entire computer was violently destroyed.

In the corner of the room, against the wall, there was an open safe with some remaining things inside.

Shen Qiu went up to look for it, but unfortunately he was disappointed.

What was left in the safe were either gold bars, money, some digital documents, and some empty boxes.

Phew~

Shen Qiu let out a long sigh. It was obvious that the most important things in the room had been taken away.

Just as Shen Qiu was about to leave, his eyes fell on the open window and he walked over.

Shen Qiu looked outside through the window.
