Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 161: Armory
As Helen spoke, she waved the rocket launcher and used it to threaten Waldo. Then, she turned to look at Alanna.
"You think so, Alanna? Let’s see if he still dares to bully us! The rocket launcher will be at his service when the time comes!"
Seeing this, Alanna nodded repeatedly. Waldo was dumbfounded.
"Okay, the two girls have actually teamed up to resist and confront him. There’s no need to say anything more. Tonight, we must prove ourselves with strength. Let them know who the real boss is."
However, on the surface, Waldo could only shake his head, indicating that he dared not.
Seeing Waldo’s expression, Helen covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Just kidding! Um, by the way, my rocket ammunition is running low. Can I have some more?"
She had indeed been too violent just now. The rockets were unleashed as if they didn’t care about anything, causing quite the explosion. But now, she realized that the consumption was quite severe. Out of over a hundred rockets, only seven or eight remained.
Fortunately, Waldo had countless rockets there, requiring no money or experience points to obtain. Otherwise, who knew how many experience points she would have spent!
"Look at yourself, still claiming not to be violent?"
Seeing this, Waldo couldn’t help but burst into laughter. However, he didn’t hesitate and generously handed her two hundred more rockets.
To him, this stuff was an infinite resource. He had as much as he needed, without any reservations!
Helen knew she couldn’t argue and could only give Waldo a fierce glare. Then, the group put away their weapons and began to rest, planning to regain their strength before entering the cave and exploring the armory.
Most likely, there was another door inside the cave. Entering that door would mean stepping into the real armory.
"Ah, so tired! I feel like I’m about to collapse! I used up too much energy just now."
At this moment, Helen realized her body was sore all over. The consecutive rocket launches had drained a significant amount of her energy and put a considerable strain on her body. Thankfully, being at level twenty made her physically resilient.
Even so, firing rockets at such high intensity was something most people, even men, couldn’t endure for long.
Seeing her condition, Waldo couldn’t help but use his ability, Teleport, to immediately disappear from his original position and reappear behind Helen. He caught her before she could collapse.
"You need to rest for a while. Look at you, you’ve exhausted yourself too much. Be more careful next time, don’t push yourself so hard!"
Waldo’s voice was gentle as he offered his advice. He couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for her. This girl was truly pushing herself to the limit.
Witnessing this, Alanna quickly came forward and used her ability Heal on both of them, effectively alleviating their fatigue and bodily soreness. Heal was indeed powerful; it allowed them to fight against zombies without worrying too much. Even if the consumption was substantial, they could instantly restore themselves to their best condition.
Waldo couldn’t help but praise Alanna’s ability. It was truly remarkable and had immeasurable benefits for the team.
"Of course!" Alanna said with a proud smile.
Before long, the three of them had recovered. One after another, they entered the cave, with Chubby and West following closely behind.
The cave was about seven or eight meters wide and three to four meters high. The lighting inside was poor, giving the cave a dark and gloomy atmosphere.
This was where Waldo’s ability Control Fire came in handy. A flame appeared in the palm of his hand, instantly dispelling the darkness and filling the cave with a warm orange light.
The deeper they went into the cave, the larger its space became. Along the way, Waldo noticed several facilities for daily life. Evidently, the soldiers had been living in this cave since the apocalypse. Unfortunately, they had all eventually mutated into zombies.
After a while, Waldo and the others arrived in front of a massive iron gate. The space here had become quite expansive.
"We’re here. As long as we open this gate, we can directly enter the armory. A large amount of weapons and equipment is waiting for us!"
Waldo looked up at the towering iron gate. It was more than eight meters tall and gave off an incredibly heavy feeling. This was made from special steel that regular explosives might not be able to blast open.
Alanna also realized the problem. Armories were heavily fortified, and the doors were made of special materials that couldn’t be easily breached. Violent methods wouldn’t work.
"What do we do? How can we get in?" Alanna asked, her concern evident.
Helen furrowed her brow, trying to come up with a solution, but she couldn’t find one. Chubby and West were of no help either.
"We can’t use explosives. Blasting it open could cause the cave to collapse, and we’d all be finished."
While speaking, Waldo approached the iron gate. Flames erupted from his palm, growing intensely. He was attempting to melt the gate using extreme heat.
"I’ll give it a try. Maybe I can use the high temperature to melt this iron gate directly!"
His flames had a temperature that could reach thousands of degrees Celsius. Normally, he wouldn’t be able to get so close to such high temperatures, but he could control the heat transfer effectively.
The roaring flames burned fiercely. Before long, the gate turned red, showing signs of melting. However, the melting process was slow and wasn’t progressing as expected.
After a while, it became clear that the gate wasn’t melting as easily as he thought.
"Why is this happening?" Waldo felt dizzy. Sustaining the intense flames for an extended period had drained his mental energy significantly.
"It’s because this gate is made of a special steel. Even though you’re managing to get it to melt somewhat, the melting point is much higher than regular steel."
Waldo sighed and reluctantly gave up. His ability Control Fire wouldn’t be enough to melt this gate.
Explosives were out of the question, and burning it wasn’t working. What other methods could they use?
As they pondered, they heard a faint sound coming from behind a large rock in a dark corner. Accompanying the sound was a low growl. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Be careful, it’s a zombie!"
Waldo quickly warned everyone, and they prepared themselves for an imminent threat.
