Chapter 10, The Return to the Sanctuary

Dong Chen stepped out from the light screen, taking a deep breath. Although he had traversed this before, he still felt a bit uneasy inside.

And now, a real firearm is held in one's hand, with exquisite craftsmanship, a cold barrel, a dark muzzle, and golden bullets, all indicating that a vicious weapon is present before one's eyes

Call ~ ~ ''

Returning to the office, he sheathed the Tang knife, took the gun, and searched the room again. He found a 10mm pistol and some ammunition, which he placed into his backpack. Then, he took the lock pick and began to fiddle with the locked gun cabinet, having long coveted that freeze gun.

Dong Chen no longer hesitated and decided to go out first. It was only when he arrived at the entrance hall that he confirmed that there was indeed not a single living creature in this shelter

For nearly two hundred years, the gun has accumulated a faint layer of rust due to lack of maintenance, yet the technological power it embodies has withstood the test of time. Its larger-than-usual frame gives it an imposing presence, and the added iron plate on the gun's surface lends it a distinctly futuristic sci-fi flavor. However, the sci-fi referred to here is not the common type people are familiar with, but rather a form of retro sci-fi. Although he is not entirely sure what retro sci-fi entails, it does not change the fact that, regardless of the type of sci-fi, it remains a deadly weapon. This is a standard military equipment from before the war— the 10mm pistol. The added iron plate on the gun's surface lends it a distinctly futuristic sci-fi flavor.

While comforting myself, I couldn't help but think that there are still no radiation cockroaches here. What on earth is going on? Is it possible that this world of transmigration, aside from being unable to generate a magical realm, is also incapable of producing life?

Upon opening the gate and passing through a corridor, one arrives at a place resembling an office

In the hall, I found some 10mm ammunition and some miscellaneous items, but I only put the ammunition into my backpack and did not take any of the miscellaneous items

Dong Chen reminded himself that there was nothing to fear; he was a man who had been struck by lightning before, and the display of this skeleton was rather insignificant, not worthy of any fear.

Dong Chen greedily gazed at the 10mm pistol, realizing that it was no longer just a name on the menu, but a real handgun presented before him. He tossed the Tang knife onto the table and slowly reached out, gradually gripping the handle of the pistol; the cold sensation made the touch of the handgun feel incredibly real

To know which man, in his childhood, has not seen a catalog of firearms, played with toy guns, or fantasized about truly holding a handgun in his hand. However, in a country like China, where firearms are completely banned, it is almost impossible to obtain a gun

Although he was somewhat prepared mentally, seeing the firearm in his hand still made Dong Chen's heart surge with excitement

Looking around, I found that the only lights in the room were the emergency lights in the corners, while the ceiling lights were all off. Perhaps the nuclear fusion generator is indeed broken, so it seems that we are now using the backup power supply

Upon selecting "Open Evacuation Passage," the evacuation alarm sounded in the shelter, and the gates of the evacuation passage were also opened

Removing the glove from my right hand, I summoned the traversal pattern and discovered that the main body of the electric arc screen remained entirely blue, showing no signs of change. The ring representing the wasteland world still had half of its blue color; could it be that a ring can be used consecutively twice? It was just right for a round trip. Moreover, it seemed that the ring of the wasteland world had already begun to charge slowly, while the modern urban world maintained a slight charging progress, remaining stationary. It appears that the charging of this pattern indeed has a priority; the ring representing the interstellar era remained completely unresponsive, a shade of gray.

By the way, he also opened those background boxes in the game that couldn't be opened before. He found that they contained only some tableware, clothing, and daily miscellaneous items, with not even any food or anything valuable. However, he still took a piece of vault protective clothing, as this was genuine merchandise. Moreover, having a piece of vault protective clothing for his graduation exhibition would be quite nice.

With a proud chest, he strode confidently over there

This terminal cannot be operated; if it malfunctions and one cannot exit, it would be quite amusing. Once I get out, I will definitely find a terminal to disassemble and study.

Drawing the Tang Dao and holding it in front of him, he cautiously approached the doorway across from him, all the while glancing around with his peripheral vision. However, upon reaching the entrance, he found no radiation cockroaches; instead, the skeleton appeared before him in all its stark reality

Impressive! So flashy!

Indeed, firearms are also a man's romance, as mentioned earlier, it is all about romance, hehe

The pistol suddenly fired a bullet, and a hot shell casing jumped out from the ejection port of the firearm, landing on the concrete floor with a few clattering sounds

Well, then... Next comes my journey through the wasteland

However, after fiddling with it for a few minutes, I gave up. As expected, the lock is not so easy to open, completely unlike in the games where even a master lock can be opened with a few more attempts if the position is correct.

Dong Chen could not understand, but whether it is truly the case will be known once this shelter is completed. If there is indeed no life, perhaps there is no need for him to be so anxious.

At the moment he opened the office door, Dong Chen seemed to suddenly recall something. He hurriedly rushed into the office, ignoring the three treatment needles on the desk and the skeleton lying on the floor, his eyes fixed intently on the metallic object on the desk

Looking at the mechanical watch on my wrist, it is still 3:28, only the second hand has moved for a few seconds. It seems that traversing the arc of the light curtain may not require time; these few seconds might just be the time taken to enter and exit, along with the time I spent in a daze earlier.

Once this thought arises, it becomes uncontrollable

He gently stroked the body of the gun. Although this firearm belonged to the category of large weapons, the feel of it in his hand was exceptional. After flipping it back and forth for a while, he opened the nearby ammunition box, which was filled to the brim with bright yellow bullets

Bang

Open the terminal on the desk, I must complain, although I do not know what the working principle of this thing is, whether it will be the same, but the display device of this thing is really terrible, the technology tree has gone too awry

A faint wisp of blue smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, and just in front of the muzzle, there was a large hole in the mattress, exposing the sponge inside. Turning to look under the bed, one would see a pit in the concrete floor, with a bullet embedded in the pit.

Not daring to fire recklessly in the room again, I walked into the adjacent room, where there was a mattress, and aimed the gun at the mattress before pulling the trigger

Forget it, just holding the gun in my hand is already very satisfying

Holding this gun, a thought arises: since there is no one here, should I fire a couple of shots?

Having accomplished all this, he turned his gaze towards the beep-beep creature that ran throughout the entire game. Seeing that beep-beep creature, along with the skeleton beside it, he was now 95% certain that this world was devoid of living beings, so these skeletons were merely some calcium polymers, what was there to be afraid of

Thus, Dong Chen engaged the safety on the gun and inserted it into the holster on his thigh. Although the gun was somewhat large, it was still accommodated.

It is indeed strange. Could it be because the world of traversal is based on a game? I cannot comprehend it.

The entrance to the nuclear energy supply unit remains the same, but now there are no electric arcs darting through the air, and my palm is not overheating from rapid charging. Could it be that the power is out? ... Uh ...? ... Or has the nuclear fusion generator completely broken down?
