Chapter 17: boom!

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

As Qin Ran pulled out the rag that blocked the opponent's mouth, a series of coughing sounds followed, but the lady in front of her...or, more precisely, the immature girl remembered Qin Ran's words before, Even if it was a cough, he kept his voice down, and his eyes were looking straight at Qin Ran.

That meaning couldn't be more obvious.

I hope Qin Ran will untie her.

"Wait a minute, can you introduce yourself? It's better to be more detailed!"

Qin Ran didn't immediately untie the rope for the other party, but asked.

He needs to judge further, whether the other party will cause him trouble. Although the other party performed very well just now, what Kieran hopes more is that the other party will continue this good performance.

After all, it is different from Ke Lin who has already established a relationship of trust.

The other party is just a stranger!

Even if the other party was tied up on the bed of a 'vulture' in the form of a victim.

But this is not a reason for Qin Ran to relax his vigilance.

"Maggie, a trainee nurse at St. Joanna Hospital...has been hiding with everyone in the tunnel of the subway station on Hales Street-there is a secret passage in the tunnel, which connects to an abandoned air-raid shelter! I was looking for food when I came out. Caught by them!"

After a little hesitation, the girl in front of her began to introduce herself, and in that slightly timid voice, she also told the reason why she appeared here.

However, there is still something that Kieran cares about.

"How did you find the secret passage?"

Qin Ran asked.

"My father was a worker maintaining the subway station, so, I know where it is!"

When the girl mentioned her father again, her expression was sad.

This sadness, in this war-torn city, represents the loss of another fresh life.

The dead in the war have long lost the peace of the peaceful era.

People also lost the dignity when facing the dead.

Even the closest people can only feel sad.

Because everyone is so powerless.

"Sorry! However, I still want to ask, how many of you are there?"

Qin Ran's upbringing made him apologize, but his own prudence made him continue to ask.

"I was the last one to leave—although it was safe there, there was a lack of food and water. At the beginning, everyone had reserves, but when the food and water reserves were exhausted, people left one after another! Because of my timidity, I didn’t dare to leave until I couldn’t hold on anymore, so I came out! But as soon as I left the subway station, I was caught by them!”

As Maggie said that, she lowered her head, not only because of her natural timid character, but also because of her shame of being powerless in the face of the 'Vulture' group.

"This is not a shameful thing. They are notorious gun-wielding thugs nearby, and ordinary people are not their opponents at all!"

Qin Ran said similar comforting words, but this made Maggie even more ashamed.

Because, she witnessed with her own eyes that Kieran easily killed the leader of the mob that terrified her.

"Okay, we don't have much time, we need to leave immediately after we find the key things!"

Qin Ran cut off the rope binding Maggie's hands with a dagger, and when Maggie used her hands to untie the ropes of her feet, Qin Ran had already started searching the room of 'Vulture'.

However, even when he was searching, Kieran's attention was still on Maggie.

Till now, Qin Ran still couldn't fully trust Maggie.

Although he didn't find any contradictions in the other party's words, but he didn't experience life and death side by side with Ke Lin, so Kieran couldn't trust his back to the other party.

Therefore, Qin Ran intentionally only released the bondage from the other party's hands.

Otherwise, with the sharpness of the dagger in his hand, on the premise of cutting two ropes, is there any difficulty in cutting two more

Qin Ran didn't care whether Maggie noticed his vigilance, he had already opened the drawer of the bedside table closest to him in the next moment.

There were a few things in the drawer: a pistol, two clips, and two grenades.

The pistol is still the [M1905] that Qin Ran is familiar with, and the magazine is naturally matched with it.

The point is, grenades!

[Name: U-Ⅱ]

[Type: Grenade]

[Quality: Average]

[Attack Power: Strong]

[Attribute: When facing unarmored creatures, power +30%]

[Special effects: none]

[Whether this copy can be brought out: Yes]

[Remarks: It is called a defensive grenade, so the thrower must remember to protect himself.]

Looking at the introduction about the grenade, especially in terms of attributes, an idea popped into Kieran's mind.

The next moment, Kieran quickly picked up the two grenades and put them in his jacket pocket.

The gun and magazines were also put away.

Then, after checking again and confirming that there was nothing of value in the bedside table, Kieran walked around the big bed and walked towards the two large wardrobes lined up against the wall on the other side.

At this time, Maggie was still struggling with the rope tied around her ankle.

Qin Ran directly opened the door of the wardrobe on the left.

It wasn't that Qin Ran wasn't cautious enough, but that Qin Ran didn't believe that the 'Vulture' would set up traps in his room, and the opponent who was killed by him with one blow obviously didn't have such knowledge and vigilance.

Squeak!

In the harsh cross talk, the door of the wardrobe on the left was completely opened by Qin Ran.

Canned food, bottled water, firearms, and bullets are densely packed like a pile in a supermarket.

At a glance, Qin Ran saw that there were no less than 30 cans, and there were boxes of bottled water.

Among the six or seven ordinary [M1905], there is an [M12] assault rifle again, and the yellow-orange-orange bullets are packed in a large box, layered on top of each other.

"Tsk!"

Seeing this, even though Qin Ran was prepared, he couldn't help but babbled.

After all, if he took the food and water out, it would be enough for him to spend the rest of the mission time safely, moreover, more than enough.

Picking up the [M12], Kieran carried it on his back, moved his steps, and came to another wardrobe. Like before, he opened the two doors of the wardrobe.

Compared with the previous big wardrobe, the inside of this big wardrobe is much more tidy.

Except for the still huge amount of canned food and bottled water, there is only a backpack with two shoulders.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran picked up his backpack.

The heavy weight of the hand made Qin Ran have to lift it from one hand to two hands.

Moreover, in order to open the hiking bag on both shoulders smoothly, Kieran had to lift his left leg, using his thigh as a support point for the hiking bag, and his knee against the door of the wardrobe.

The zipper was pulled open by Kieran.

The dazzling reflection made Qin Ran narrow his eyes.

The golden jewelry, inlaid with gemstones of various colors, was packed in this backpack in no order.

Even though he was mentally prepared, when Qin Ran really saw the whole package of jewelry, especially when he thought about its price, he still couldn't breathe.

However, the game information prompt that came out immediately made Qin Ran wake up quickly.

[Name: Priceless Jewelry]

[Type: Jewelry]

[Quality: Mixed (items are plural, cannot be identified exactly)]

[attribute: none]

[Special effects: none]

[Whether this copy can be brought out: No]

[Remarks: You can choose to hand it over to the major, or do something else!]

"Can't be taken out?"

Seeing this reminder, Qin Ran felt deep regret in his heart.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that these jewels are worth a lot.

If the dungeon can be brought out, Qin Ran doesn't mind giving up on the future plan, and find a place to spend the rest of the time safely.

Because, according to the name described above, this bag of jewels might be able to allow him to complete his goal of entering the underground game.

But it's a pity that game designers obviously won't allow people to take advantage of such loopholes.

If this bag of jewels can really bring out the dungeon, then the place Qin Ran wants to break into will not be an underground warehouse occupied by thugs, but a military base equipped with a series of the most advanced equipment!

As for the 'Vulture' who was easily killed by Qin Ran

At least he is an all-round fighter, even a so-called fighter!

All gains are accompanied by corresponding difficulties!

This is the rule of the game!

Unless... UG is found, or the plug-in is turned on!

And Qin Ran, a rookie in the underground game, naturally couldn't find the UG in the game.

There is no need to think about plug-ins.

After re-zipping the zipper of the mountaineering bag, Kieran turned to look at Maggie.

At this time, Maggie had already untied the rope on her leg, but Maggie just sat on the bed and didn't move, even though she saw enough food, water and guns.

Whether it's true or just pretending, it won Qin Ran's favor.

The former shows the simplicity of the other party, while the latter shows that the other party knows how to choose.

This is beneficial to Kieran.

Even if the latter is a little troublesome, as long as Kieran shows great strength, then the other party will understand what can and cannot be moved.

"I'm going out to solve the troubles outside! I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Qin Ran walked out of the room.

Just like Qin Ran said, he wanted to deal with the remaining gun-wielding thugs.

This was not Qin Ran's original plan.

But after getting two grenades, everything changed.

Qin Ran walked in front of the diesel generator. Beside him was the room where gun-wielding thugs gathered. The noise inside was still loud, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Qin Ran raised his hand to turn off the diesel generator.

Suddenly, the entire corridor became dark.

"Damn! That broken machine is on strike again!"

"Hurry up and have a look, otherwise, the boss of 'Vulture' will get angry!"

"We should get more generators!"

The room on one side was silent at first, followed by a series of cursing and complaining.

Then, there was a sound of stumbling footsteps.

The darkness brought a lot of trouble to the other party.

Immediately afterwards, the door was opened by a gunman.

The moment the door opened, Qin Ran, who had been standing in the darkness, moved. He suddenly raised his left leg, kicked forward, and stepped hard on the belly of the gun-wielding thug who opened the door.

The unsuspecting gunman rolled back into the room with a scream.

At the same time, Kieran threw the grenade that pulled the fuse into the room.

"What's wrong?"

"what happens?"

boom!

The gunmen who had no idea what happened panicked, but after an explosion, everything returned to calm.
