Chapter 22 Unexpected Surprise
Although overall, the exterior decoration is quite dilapidated, it still gives people a different sense.
Shen Qiu locked onto that building at a glance. He thought for a few seconds, then made a decision and decided to take the risk.
He touched it cautiously.
I don't know whether it was luck that missed Shen Qiu, or his character exploded, but he reached the back of the building without any danger.
Shen Qiu looked at the building nearby and his eyes suddenly narrowed. He was keenly aware that this building was obviously different from other buildings. Although it is a steel structure, the walls of this building are obviously much thicker.
And the open back 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, and he immediately got into the building.
He still doesn't know whether it is safer or more dangerous during the day.
After entering the building, Shen Qiu stopped immediately. I saw a humanoid skeleton lying on the ground. The skeleton was wearing a vest-style black body armor with bullet holes on it. It wore a protective helmet on its head and held a firearm similar to a combination of a shotgun and a rifle in its hand.
Shen Qiu immediately squatted down and gently picked up the gun. And the moment it was picked up, the palm of the skeleton shattered, which showed how long it had been dead.
Shen Qiu glanced at it and then focused on the gun in his hand. He carefully inspected and disassembled it.
After some inspection, he discovered it was neither a shotgun nor a rifle. It is a large-caliber automatic gun with a magazine capacity of seven rounds. There are currently three bullets in the magazine.
In addition, the material of the bullets in the magazine is also very special, the warhead is extremely hard, somewhat similar to the warhead 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 and reinstalled the disassembled magazine, and then he took off the body armor and helmet of the skeleton without hesitation.
He put it on all at once, but when he moved around, he felt that the body armor was very heavy, weighing at least 15 kilograms, and the helmet also weighed several kilograms. Then Shen Qiu took off the protective helmet and threw it away. He felt that wearing it was too uncomfortable and affected his movements.
Shen Qiu then continued to search the corpse's clothing pockets, and quickly took out a magnetic card and a set of mechanical keys.
He immediately put it away and continued to grope forward.
If his guess was not wrong, the body just now should be the security guard of this building. He should have been preparing to escape through the back door, but he was shot dead.
There is a point of confusion in this that makes Shen Qiu very puzzled.
Were the original inhabitants of this city destroyed by monsters or mechanical weapons?
Before Shen Qiu could figure it out, he came to the hall.
Scanning the severely damaged hall, Shen Qiu's left eyelid twitched.
From the remaining displays and decorations, he recognized it at a glance as a bank building.
He suppressed his restless heart and observed carefully. There were cameras on the walls around the hall, but all of those cameras had stopped functioning.
In the office area with closed windows inside, there were two corpses lying inside, and there were three corpses in the outer hall, one of which was a security guard whose body armor was intact.
Shen Qiu immediately walked over, took it off, and replaced the one he was wearing.
Unfortunately, the gun in the corpse's hand was out of bullets.
As for the other four corpses, judging from the moldy clothing styles, none of them looked like high-level personnel.
Shen Qiu found a bunch of magnetic cards, banknotes, electronic bracelets, and mechanical keys on each of them.
He threw away the banknotes and stuffed the rest into his backpack. If you don't need it later, throw it away.
After Shen Qiu finished doing this, he walked to the elevator entrance. He stretched out his hand and tried to press it a few times, but there was no response.
If there were no accidents, the building should have completely lost power and all facilities should have stopped operating.
Shen Qiu pondered for a while, then walked to the safety stairs next to him. He looked at the stairs going up and down, and then chose to go down.
A bank building of this size should normally have a vault, and facilities such as vaults are usually placed in underground areas. Of course, Shen Qiu just went there with the attitude of giving it a try, and didn't hold out much hope. After all, the protection level of such facilities is usually very high.
He walked all the way down the safety stairs. At every corner, there was a steel protective door, but these protective doors were either open or violently destroyed.
Therefore, Shen Qiu walked down unimpeded, but the further down he went, the darker the light became and the visibility became lower and lower.
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 reached 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 continue to explore forward in a hurry, but searched for 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 the staff of this bank.
He must have been killed before he could escape.
Shen Qiu thought of this and continued walking forward.
It didn't take long for Shen Qiu to reach the end and come to the vault. The entrance to the vault was a circular closed metal gate. From the appearance, it can be seen that this gate is very thick and it is almost impossible to destroy it violently.
Fortunately, the vault's protective gate is open. There is a mechanical lock with a circular dial on the gate, and a mechanical key is inserted on it.
Shen Qiu took a breath and walked in cautiously.
Entering the dark vault, Shen Qiu raised his phone's light and shined it.
At a glance, there are rickety shelves everywhere and fallen things all over the floor.
Shen Qiu squatted down and was slightly startled when he looked at the things scattered on the ground, except for the dusty banknotes.
He also saw rectangular parallelepiped-shaped objects. He stretched out his hand to pick up one and blew off the dust on the surface, revealing a golden luster.
Shen Qiu's heart skipped a beat. He weighed it, then put it in his mouth and bit it.
There was a complex look on his face, this was real gold.
Shen Qiu took a look at the treasury and saw that it was all over the place.
He made some estimates and found that there were at least five or six tons here. If this was taken out, it would definitely be an unimaginable huge amount of wealth.
If this were normal, he would have been ecstatic.
But Shen Qiu soon calmed down and threw the gold in his hand to the ground.
Although the things are good, they are of little use when your life is almost at risk.
Shen Qiu walked towards the safe inside, ready to search to see if there was anything else to gain.
When he walked to the safe, he was slightly startled. The entire safe had been hit by heavy weapons and became tattered.
In front of the safe, there were some body parts and a lot of messy things scattered.
Shen Qiu knelt down and began to sort out the fallen things. There are exquisite jewelry, documents, and all kinds of strange things, which should be similar to antiques.
Suddenly, Shen Qiu's eyes were attracted by something on the ground, and he stretched out his hand to pick it up.
This is a very special mechanical blade, with a total length of 120cm, and a black handle engraved with a metal dragon pattern. Shen Qiu blew away the dust covering the surface, and then revealed the cool black metal scabbard.
Shen Qiu pulled out the mechanical blade, and instantly revealed the blade with a cold glow. It looked very sharp, and he didn't know what material it was made of.
Shen Qiu inserted the blade into the scabbard and picked it up to play with.
He pondered for a while, this weapon should be an antique of their time. However, the sharpness and hardness are very good, and it can be used for self-defense. At least it is much more reliable than the fruit knife he found before.
