Kill the Sun

Chapter 369 Chapter 369 – The Ruin

There was only a small device above it.

Nick pushed lightly, but the door didn\'t budge.

CRRRRR!

Then, he just put his blade in and cut out a circle.

BANG!

The circle fell into the room, making a loud sound.

The room was also brightly lit and just as loud as the hallway.

Based on the steel shelves, Nick guessed that he was in some kind of storage room, and he could also immediately tell in what kind of storage room he was.

Everything was filled with guns.

It was just that their designs were quite different from the guns that Nick regularly saw in Crimson City.

Nick walked over to one of the guns and held it up.

He had learned how to operate a gun, even though he wasn\'t using one.

However, he still had to get familiar with this new kind.

After looking at it for a bit, he pointed at the wall and pulled the trigger.

SSSSSS!

The sound of something sizzling came from the wall, and Nick\'s eyes widened.

A small hole formed in the wall as liquid steel flowed down from the wall!

That thing had burned a hole in the wall!

The most shocking thing was that there had been no recoil or sound of gunfire.

Nick had just pressed the button, and a small hole had appeared in the wall.

Several questions immediately popped into Nick\'s mind.

\'How is this thing so strong?! Even I might receive some injuries!\'

\'Why would they use armor made of steel when one of these guns can just burn a hole through them?!\'

\'Why is everything in here so weak while these guns are this strong?\'

Nick looked at the shelves and saw 30 identical guns.

If 30 people aimed these guns at Nick, even he might die.

Although, if the guns were wielded by normal people, they wouldn\'t even be able to aim at him due to his speed.

Nick looked at a couple more guns and tried them out.

Eventually, Nick found guns that gave off the typical sound of gunfire and shot bullets.

But with that came something else that shocked him.

That gun had shot over 20 bullets in just a second!

Nick wasn\'t sure if Crimson City had guns that fired this quickly.

Eventually, Nick put the guns to the side and left the room.

He walked further down the hallway and entered another door by cutting a hole in it.

Sadly, while Nick could see several steel shelves again, the only things on them were several piles of dust.

Nick guessed that this storage room housed organic materials, which had long since decayed into dust.

The next room was quite big, and Nick saw many bedframes made of steel.

All of the bedframes were covered in huge layers of dust, but there were also some randomly scattered piles of dust in different places.

Strangely, there were a couple of metallic objects lying around the dusty piles.

Near some of them were handguns.

Almost all of them had some kind of metallic tag with text cut

into them in a language Nick didn\'t understand.

There were also a couple of square objects that perfectly fit in

one\'s hand.

Surprisingly, one of the sides of these objects was made of

glass or something similar.

It felt very similar to the material the monitor outside the main

door was made of.

There seemed to be no rhyme or reason as to where the piles

were placed.

Nick also found a couple more objects, but he couldn\'t be sure

what they were since oftentimes, only the metallic shell was

left from the original object.

He left the room after a while and continued down the hall.

Whenever he reached a door, he cut a hole in it and looked at

what was behind it.

Piles of dust.

Some kind of crater made of metal.

Piles of heavy, yellowish metal bars.

A big hall with many steel benches and tables.

The big hall also had many piles of dust with items strewn

around them.

After around 30 minutes, Nick had looked at over ten different

rooms.

And then, he found another huge door at the end of the

hallway.

Beside the door were two piles of dust.

However, these two piles of dust also had two of these crazy

powerful guns lying in them.

That was when Nick realized something.

\'Wait, are these piles humans?\' he thought.

Every pile had some personal items lying beside them, and

almost every single one had some kind of weapon lying beside

it.

\'So, every pile of dust is a human?\' Nick thought.

The locations of all the piles shot through Nick\'s mind.

\'Could the piles on the beds also be former humans?\'

\'If so, doesn\'t that mean that they died in their sleep?\'

Nick looked at the two piles beside the door.

\'Those two piles are positioned like they are guards. Does this

mean that they died while guarding the door?\'

\'The two piles are very uniform. I don\'t think they died while

fighting something.\'

\'Does that mean everyone died without even noticing?\'

\'Did everyone just spontaneously die without being able to

react?\'

Nick\'s heart rate increased as he thought about that.

That was quite scary.

\'What killed them?\'

\'Was it a Specter?\'

\'Could be, but I\'m not sure.\'

Nick focused on the big door in front of him.

\'This door seems quite important, and if I were to design this

place, I would put the headquarters behind this big door.\'

Nick looked at the door for a bit longer.

Then, he took out his blade and cut a hole in the door.

BANG!

The round plate of metal fell into the room behind the hallway,

and Nick could finally see what was behind the door.

And when he saw it, his eyes widened.
