"Cough, cough, cough …"
As Kieran removed the rag from the woman's mouth, a series of coughs followed. However, the lady in front of him, or more accurately, the young girl, remembered Kieran's words. Even when she coughed, she lowered her voice and looked straight at Kieran.
Her meaning was obvious.
She hoped that Kieran would untie her.
"Wait a minute. Can you introduce yourself? It would be better if it's more detailed! "
Kieran did not untie her immediately. Instead, he asked.
He needed to make a further judgment on whether or not Kieran would cause trouble for him. Although Kieran had performed well just now, he hoped that Kieran could continue his good performance.
After all, she was different from Colleen, whom he had established a relationship of trust with.
She was just a stranger.
Even though she looked like a victim and was tied to the Vulture's bed.
Still, that was no reason for Kieran to let his guard down.
"I'm Maggie, a probationary nurse from St. Joanna Hospital. I've been hiding with the others in the tunnel of the subway station on Hales Street. There's a secret passage in the tunnel that leads to an abandoned bomb shelter. I was out looking for food when they caught me. "
The girl in front of him hesitated for a moment before she started to introduce herself. Her slightly timid voice even told him the reason why she was here.
Still, there was something that concerned Kieran.
"How did you find the secret passage?"
Kieran asked.
"My father is a maintenance worker at the subway station, so I know where it is!"
When the girl mentioned her father, her expression became gloomy.
This sadness, in this war-torn city, represented the loss of yet another life.
The dead from the war had lost the peace of the peaceful era.
The people had lost their solemnity in front of the dead.
Even the people closest to him could only feel sad.
Because everyone was so powerless.
"I'm sorry! But I still want to ask, how many of you are there? "
Kieran's upbringing made him apologize, but his own cautiousness made him continue to ask questions.
"I was the last one to leave. Although it was safe, there was a lack of food and water. At first, everyone still had some supplies, but when the supplies were depleted, everyone left one after another! Because of my cowardice, I didn't dare to leave until I couldn't take it anymore! But as soon as we left the subway station, we were caught by them! "
Maggie lowered her head. She was naturally timid, but she was also ashamed of her powerlessness in front of the Vulture.
"This is nothing to be ashamed of. They are the notorious armed thugs in this area. Ordinary people are no match for them!"
Kieran said some comforting words, but it made Maggie feel even more ashamed.
She had seen with her own eyes how Kieran had easily killed the leader of the thugs, who she had been so afraid of.
"Alright, we don't have much time. After we find the key thing, we need to leave immediately!"
Kieran cut the ropes that bound Maggie's hands with a dagger. While Maggie was trying to untie the ropes, Kieran had already started to search the Vulture's room.
However, even when he was searching, Kieran's attention was still on Maggie.
Until now, Kieran still couldn't fully trust Maggie.
Even though Kieran did not find any contradictions in her words, he had not gone through life and death battles with Colleen, so he could not trust her with his back without worrying about her.
So, Kieran only removed the ropes on her hands.
Otherwise, with the sharpness of the dagger in his hand, how difficult would it be to cut another two ropes after cutting through two ropes?
Kieran didn't care whether Maggie noticed his vigilance or not. He opened the drawer of the bedside table that was closest to him.
There were a few things in the drawer: a handgun, two magazines, and two grenades.
The handgun was still the [M1905] that Kieran was familiar with, and the magazine was the one that came with it.
The most important thing was the grenade!
[Name: U-2]
[Type: Grenade]
[Rarity: Common]
[Attack: Strong]
[Attributes: Damage + 30% against unarmored targets]
[Effects: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: It's called a defensive grenade, so the thrower must remember to protect themselves.]
Looking at the description of the grenade, especially the attributes, an idea popped up in Kieran's mind.
The next moment, Kieran quickly picked up the two grenades and put them in his shirt pocket.
The gun and the magazine were put away as well.
After checking the bedside table again to make sure there was nothing valuable, Kieran walked around the bed and went to the other side of the wall where there were two big cupboards.
At this time, Maggie was still struggling with the rope tied around her ankles.
Kieran opened the door of the cupboard on his left.
It wasn't that Kieran wasn't careful enough, but Kieran didn't believe that the Vulture would install traps in his room. Since he had killed the man with a single shot, he obviously didn't have the knowledge and vigilance to do so.
Tssk Gak!
The door of the wardrobe on the left was completely opened by Kieran after the slightly irritating crosstalk.
Canned food, bottled water, firearms, and bullets were piled up densely like a supermarket.
Kieran took a quick glance. There were more than 30 canned food and boxes of bottled water.
Among the six or seven normal [M1905] s, there was an M12 assault rifle, and the yellow bullets were stacked up in a big box.
"Tsk!"
Even though Kieran was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw all that.
After all, if he brought the food and water out, it would be enough for him to get through the rest of the mission safely, and it would be more than enough.
Kieran picked up the [M12], carried it on his back, and moved to another cupboard. Like before, he opened the two doors of the cupboard.
Compared to the big cupboard, the coat cupboard was a lot tidier.
Other than a lot of canned food and bottled water, there was only a backpack on his shoulders.
Kieran picked up the backpack without a second thought.
The weight of the backpack forced Kieran to use both hands to carry it instead of one hand.
In order to open the backpack smoothly, Kieran had to lift his left leg and use his thigh as a support while his knee was placed on the cupboard door.
The zipper was pulled open by Kieran.
Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw the dazzling reflection of the light.
The glittering jewelry was embedded with all sorts of gems, and they were all placed in the backpack without any order.
Even though Kieran was mentally prepared, when he saw the whole bag of jewelry, especially when he thought about the price, he still held his breath.
However, the game notification that popped up immediately woke him up from his stupor.
[Name: Priceless Jewelry]
[Type: Jewelry]
[Rarity: Mixed (Multiple items, unable to be identified)]
[Attributes: None]
[Effects: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: No]
[Remarks: You can choose to give it to the major or do something else!]
"Can't bring it out?"
Kieran's heart was filled with regret when he saw the notification.
Just by looking at the name, he knew that the jewelry was worth a lot.
If he could bring it out of the dungeon, Kieran would not mind giving up on his plan and finding a safe place to spend the rest of his time.
According to the description, this bag of jewelry might be able to help him achieve his goal of entering the underground game.
Unfortunately, the game designer would not allow anyone to take advantage of such a loophole.
If the bag of jewelry could really be brought out of the dungeon, then the place that Kieran would have to break into would not be an underground warehouse occupied by thugs, but a military base equipped with the most advanced equipment!
As for the Vulture that Kieran had easily killed?
He was at least an all-rounder, or even a so-called Grandmaster of Combat!
All rewards came with a corresponding level of difficulty!
That was the rule of the game!
Unless … a bug was found, or a cheat was activated!
As a newbie in the underground game, Kieran would not be able to find a bug in the game.
As for a cheat, there was no need to even think about it.
After zipping up the backpack, Kieran turned around and looked at Maggie.
At this time, Maggie had already untied the rope on her legs, but Maggie just sat on the bed and did not move, even though she saw enough food, water, and firearms.
Whether he was sincere or just putting on an act, he managed to gain Kieran's fondness.
The former showed that she was innocent, while the latter showed that she knew how to make a choice.
This was beneficial to Kieran.
Even if the latter was slightly troublesome, as long as Kieran showed his strength, then the other party would understand what could be done and what could not be done.
"I'm going out to solve the problems outside! I'll be right back! "
Kieran said and walked out of the room.
Just like what Kieran said, he had to solve the remaining armed thugs.
This was not Kieran's initial plan.
However, after getting the two grenades, everything changed.
Kieran walked in front of the diesel generator. Beside him was the room where the armed thugs were gathered. The noise inside was still loud and clear, as if nothing was wrong.
Kieran raised his hand and turned off the generator.
Suddenly, the whole corridor was plunged into darkness.
"Damn it! That stupid machine is on strike again! "
"Let's go check it out! Boss Vulture is going to get mad!"
"We should get more generators!"
The room was quiet at first, but then a series of curses and complaints were heard.
Then, a series of stumbling footsteps sounded.
The darkness had caused quite a bit of trouble for the thugs.
Then, the door was opened by an armed thug.
The moment the door was opened, Kieran, who had been standing in the dark, moved. He raised his left leg and stomped hard on the abdomen of the thug who had opened the door.
The thug was caught off guard, and with an agonizing cry, he rolled back into the room.
At the same time, Kieran pulled the fuse of the grenade and threw it into the room.
"What's wrong?
What happened? "
Boom!
