Chapter 7: Adam’s Awakening

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.

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.]
