I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1358 - Chapter 1358 Chapter 1360 Supply Box

Chapter 1358: Chapter 1360: Supply Box Chapter 1358: Chapter 1360: Supply Box Song Jian felt that he was targeted, and it was a psychic lock no less, a kind of spiritual binding that only spells of Legendary Level or above possessed. Now, these high-tech gadgets could actually lock onto his psyche, which took him by surprise.

The Abyss Concealment Skill had failed in front of these defense mechanisms, putting a look of panic on the face of the usually confident Song Jian.

Da da da, da da da~

Several automatic cannons fired at the same time. The finger-length bullets struck Song Jian, setting off sparks as they hit. He quickly retreated backward until he found cover in the cannons’ blind spot, only then realizing he had lost nearly five thousand Vitality Points in just a few seconds.

“Isn’t this damage a bit too high?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise.

What surprised him most was that these defense systems oozing with technological style could detect the presence of the Abyssal essence or, rather, they could disregard the existence of the Abyssal essence and sense Song Jian’s approach.

“No, with the firing range of those cannons just now, there was no need for me to get that close to trigger an alert. They could have warned me from thirty meters away…” Song Jian thought to himself, “Which means the detection range of the defenses here is very short…”

After waiting a while, Song Jian didn’t see anyone coming to investigate. Considering that an alarm had gone off, the personnel inside the base should have been aware that someone was attempting to infiltrate. At the very least, someone should have come to check, but after waiting a long time, not a single person appeared, as if the underground base was already abandoned.

“How could this be, such thorough defenses yet no personnel…” Song Jian was confused, feeling as though an idea was taking shape in his mind, but it was as if it were obscured by a veil of mist.

“Let’s get past this immediate obstacle first…” Song Jian thought to himself.

After downing two bottles of high-level healing potions, Song Jian had his Vitality fully restored. He then took steps toward the ramp passageway until he stood before it without any alarm sounding, silence pervading all around, with the automatic cannons hiding in the walls.

“Indeed, the detection range is very short!” Song Jian noted to himself and then carefully set a foot on the ramp passageway.

In an instant, that feeling of being psychically locked on resurfaced, and the shrill alarm went off again while the guns in the walls turned out once more, aiming at Song Jian.

Song Jian swiftly retracted his foot and stood in place. The alarm ceased after a moment, and countless red aiming lasers swept around chaotically, as if they had lost their target.

A smile crept onto Song Jian’s lips as he glanced at the ground of the ramp passageway.

“Gravity sensors?” Song Jian chuckled.

With that, he tried putting a foot on the ramp passageway again, this time without putting any weight on it, merely resting it lightly on the surface. As Song Jian guessed, no alarm sounded.

Next, Song Jian gradually applied pressure until it was approximately the weight of an adult, at which point the alarm blared loudly. Song Jian quickly withdrew his foot.

“Indeed, it’s gravity sensors…” Song Jian nodded.

“But it could also be a combination of different detection methods. It’s just that all have been shielded by the Abyss Concealment Skill, except for the gravity sensors!” Song Jian thought hard.

“Too bad I’m not a mage, otherwise a Light Body Skill would solve it!” Song Jian sighed to himself.

After some thought, Song Jian turned to leave, and that’s when he noticed Leiying Patsha had also entered the periphery of the base. It was struggling with the ropes tied around the supply boxes outside, apparently wanting to see what was inside the boxes and if there was any advantage to be gained.

However, watching an eagle struggle to peck at ropes and tear at them with its claws in an attempt to move a large box was indeed somewhat comical.

Song Jian stood by with a smile on his face, watching Leiying Patsha and showing no intention of helping.

Patsha was focused on pecking at the ropes, trying to break them. At first, he didn’t notice Song Jian, but before long, he inadvertently glanced up and saw Song Jian standing there with a smile, looking at himself as if watching a clown. Patsha’s actions suddenly stiffened, and he said annoyedly, “What are you looking at? Come and help. You can’t go inside anyway, it’s better than going back empty-handed if you take these materials.”

“Are you sure these materials can be taken out of the Assessment World?” Song Jian asked with a smile.

Most items in the Assessment World can’t be taken out. If they can be used on the spot, they are generally used right away. The materials in front of them probably have something to do with building an underground base, or they are some kind of supplies, which shouldn’t be valuable and are unlikely to be taken out of the Assessment World.

“How will you know if you don’t look?” Patsha rolled his eyes and said.

Only then did Song Jian step forward and use his Sky-breaking Sword to cut the ropes. It was distinctly noticeable that the ropes were exceptionally strong, as if they were mixed with metal wires. When chopping them, he could feel a significant resistance, which explained why Patsha had been struggling for a long time without being able to break even one.

The ropes encasing the material box were all cut, and a layer of army-green tarp that covered it fell off, revealing a metallic box over two meters tall inside.

On one side of the metal box, there was a switch device with a red light flickering continuously.

“Looks like it needs a password, do you know it?” Song Jian turned and asked.

“Damn it, I wondered why those people didn’t take these material boxes with them. It turns out you need a password to open them!” Patsha spat out in frustration and said disappointedly.

The Alien Clan had also come here to explore before, but they stopped at the ramp passage. However, these material boxes were all outside the base, and logically should have all been taken away by the Alien Clan who explored the place before.

Patsha had found it strange before, but now he finally realized that all these material boxes were locked with passwords.

“Just brute force it open…” Song Jian found it odd, though the material boxes were made of metal, for someone with second-tier peak combat power, opening them should not be much of a challenge after putting in some effort.

“How did you pass your previous assessments, not knowing this?” Patsha looked at Song Jian in surprise. Seeing that he truly didn’t understand, Patsha had to explain, “In the real world, there might be a chance to violently break open a treasure chest, but in the Assessment World, as long as there is a password, and the box is locked, if you dare to break it by force, it will dare to explode!”

Song Jian looked at Patsha and realized what he referred to as the “real world” was actually the game world. After all, these NPCs wouldn’t consider the world they live in to be a game.

“Could our real world, in the eyes of beings from a higher dimension, also be just a game world?” Song Jian suddenly had this thought, but he quickly dismissed it.

After examining the material box all around and even knocking on it, Song Jian stared at the password lock for a long while, then asked Patsha, “Will it really explode if we force it open?”

“Of course, one hundred percent. I’ve seen it happen more than once with my own eyes!” Patsha asserted confidently.

“Oh, that’s good to know!” Song Jian nodded, his face showing a hint of an enigmatic smile.
