The Soul System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 7: Adam's Awakening

Immediately after Henry completed the kill, a transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of him. Just from looking at it, Henry could immediately confirm that this was the screen that was always appearing in the space, The Soul System.

[Congratulations host for fully awakening the system by becoming a mutant warrior.]

[With the awakening of the system, there are several abilities of the system that have been awakened as well. So, the host can go ahead and explore them.]

Immediately after that, the transparent screen disappeared in front of him. Henry who was still soaking in the feeling of getting stronger, was left stunned for a moment.

It was only when Adam patted his shoulder that he came back to his senses. He looked through the hole that was present on the door and saw that there were several other wolves that were heading in their direction after hearing the commotion.

Although he wasn't sure about if the wolves could actually knock down the door of the room that they were currently staying in, he knew that he had to be cautious.

As for the matter of the system, that was to be set aside for a moment because of this situation, since he could not enter the space in the day, then it was better for him to make sure that he found a safe place before exploring the system.

"Get ready. There are more wolves coming." Henry stated as he went back and began eating again. But, he left Adam with the gun.

"A group of wolves?" Adam was greatly surprised as he had never expected that those wolves that he had seen running outside would actually find the location that they were currently in.

Although it could be said that they were attracted over by the sound of the gunshot, but the same it could not be the wolf which Henry killed.

Previously, when Henry had stated that they were going to face danger, he thought that Henry was joking. As such, during the time that they were departing from the assembly point, he had never had any kind of expectations.

But when he saw that the other youths were being torn apart by the wolves, he had been so scared out of his wits. It was only when he got into this room that he finally calmed down.

But now, a wolf had appeared outside the door. And for that reason, he had been reminded about the scene where blood was shooting in the air as the other youths wailed in pain.

Holding the gun in his hand, he peeped again through the hole that was present on the door and looked outside. At that moment, he was completely shocked.

Outside the door, there was a wolf that was lying on the ground. From the blood that was oozing out of the wound in the eye, Adam could immediately judge that it was dead as it made no moves.

Furthermore, there were even more wolves that were heading their way. But, that was not what greatly surprised Adam.

Previously, when he saw that Henry was shooting, he had thought that he was just trying to scare away the thing or person that was hitting the door.

But looking at the corpse on the floor, he was currently shocked at how precise Henry had actually shot. It was not easy to hit a moving target.

But, Henry had managed to kill a wolf with just a single shot of bullet. He had now began doubting that he actually knew Henry well.

Bang! Boom! Howl!

But before thinking farther, the wolves that had been rushing to their place arrived. They began howling while some of them began knocking the door with their body, trying to break it down.

With their sensitive sense of smell, they could of course detect that there was someone inside the room. Henry and Adam could not cover their scent from passing the walls as there was a hole on the door.

Adam was frightened and retreated back into the room quickly. Even though he wasn't good at using a gun, he still aimed at the door, waiting to shoot.

"Hey, I told you not to dare to waste the bullets. They are limited." Henry's voice drifted over.

It was only then that Adam restrained himself from pulling the trigger. But still, his eyes focused on the door that was still being hit continuously.

From time to time, it would shake. But lucky for them, it seems that the one who created the door had no intention of allowing anyone to break into it. As for the reason for that, Henry and Adam didn't know.

"You can use one bullet. But, you will have to be careful to ascertain that the bullet kills a target. Currently, these wolves are out of their mind and they have only one intention, that is to kill. So, they won't easily notice danger." Henry stated.

Since he could become a mutant warrior after killing an apocalyptic creature, he decided that he was going to try and see if other people could also become mutant warriors after killing apocalyptic creatures.

Adam was the best targeter. If Adam could become stronger, then Henry wouldn't have to bother trying to protect him all the time. Outside the door, he was sure that they were going to face several types of dangers and he didn't think that it would be possible to protect Adam all the time.

Adam swallowed his saliva as he aimed at the door. Although he was used to the deaths that had been occurring in this facility, that didn't mean that he wasn't scared.

At this moment, his hands that were holding the gun were already trembling with fear. But he steeled his nerves as he continued maintaining his current position.

After seeing the wolves, he knew that Henry's was right before. At this moment, they were definitely in danger. So, he really wasn't willing to waste any bullet.

"Make sure that you hold the stance that you believe you are strongest at. There's always a recoil whenever you shoot, so you have to be prepared for that." Henry began instructing.

Adam followed Henry's instructions. And after confirming that he was in his best stance, he aimed at one of the wolves that was looking into the room through the hole.

Since the distance between the two of them wasn't huge, Adam was able to easily aim at it. Without wasting any other moment, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

As the bullet charged out of the muzzle of the gun, Adam staggered backwards due to the recoil of the gun. Although he had been expecting that the recoil was going to be this way, he had never expected that it was going to be this strong.

On the other hand, the bullet that had been shot by Adam immediately penetrated the forehead of the wolf. With the distance advantage, Adam had managed to shoot the target due to the great luck that he possessed.

Just as Adam was about to brag to Henry that he had managed to shoot the target, he suddenly felt strange. His body suddenly heat up as a warm current coursed through his body.

At this moment, he felt that inside his body, there was a certain energy that had appeared. But still, he couldn't find a way that he could control it with.

But that cast aside, he felt that he had visibly grown stronger. Although it wasn't by much, it was just enough for him to detect that he had definitely become stronger than he previously was a second ago.

He was flabbergasted and at the same time excited. "Henry! Henry! Did you get the same feeling as I am? I think I've become stronger! This is just like in the game that we used to play before, we get stronger as long as we kill monsters."

Enthusiastically, Adam began shouting at Henry. At this moment, he had suddenly forgotten about the wolves that had began hitting the door even furiously after he shot a wolf.

"I already know about that, and that is the reason as to why I handed you the gun. I'm not sure what is happening but, I do presume that this is for the best." Henry replied calmly.

After that, he took the gun away from Adam's hand. "We will have to deal with these wolves as soon as possible. Otherwise, they are definitely going to knock down the door." Henry stated as he looked at the cracks that had already began forming on the walls.

Adam managed to suppress his excitement when he heard Henry's words. He looked at the cracks that had already began forming as his heart began beating rapidly.

The wolves that were outside had already made him feel afraid. He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like when he came face to face with them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, Henry began shooting at the wolves that were outside. Each bullet managed to hit the target and kill it on the spot.

He moved closer to the door to make sure that he could see the target clearly. And he continuously shot six times, finishing off all the remaining wolves that were outside the door.

But still, Henry knew that after he had shot like that, there would be others that would be coming their way. So, they had to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible.

He knew that this was going to be tricky considering that out of the 17 bullets that the gun had, they had already spent eight of them. There were only nine bullets remaining. Before these bullets were exhausted, they had to find another weapon as soon as possible.

"Get ready, we are leaving right now." Henry stated as he held the door knob.

Adam hurriedly nodded his head, before looking around. Although he was completely stunned after seeing Henry utilizing the gun, he still looked around and found a steel bar.

After picking it up, he looked at Henry, confirming that he was ready to leave. Even though they had a gun, it was only one of them. For that reason, Adam thought that perhaps this steel bar would be useful.

Just as Henry was about to pull the door knob, another system prompt appeared.

[It is detected that the host is about to get out of temporary safety, and face the apocalypse head on. For that reason, the system is willing to give the host several important tips.]
