The Soul System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 19: Rank O, Level 2

The trio began moving around just as they had done previously. Only this time, it was Sarah who was being given the priority to kill the monsters. And the longer they observed her, the stranger Adam's and Henry's expression became.

After all, they came to notice that Sarah was actually quite skilled when it came to using guns. Unlike Adam, she wasn't that bad when it came to hitting the target.

"Perhaps did you train using guns before coming over here?" Adam couldn't hold his curiosity anymore and asked.

When she heard that, Sarah who had already begun gaining her confidence, nodded her head in reply. "I had always gone for training under my father's instruction. Even though I don't have the authorization to utilize a gun, my father still insisted that I had to be skilled in at least something other than my profession."

After that, the three of them continued with their hunt. Because of the loud gunshots, they obviously attracted the attention of other creatures that were present in the facility.

But, for that reason, Henry had come up with a plan. They had decided to take a higher position, where they could see any creature that approached them. And from there, Sarah had an easy time when dealing with them.

During the past 1 hour, they had encountered foxes, wolves, leopards, hyenas and other creatures. This made both of them wonder where the facility was located.

Since Henry already had information about the apocalypse, he knew that all these creatures that were attacking them were from a nearby area, and they were not generated magically.

For that reason, he could already tell that they were very close to a big forest that contained these wild animals. Hence, Henry had already began changing the plans that he had made previously.

After Sarah managed to kill about 70 apocalyptic creatures, Henry finally decided that it was time for her to start doing that with her own strength.

Even though Sarah had managed to kill 70 apocalyptic creatures, she didn't awaken a profession at all. Instead, her body had always been strengthened till this moment. Now, she was definitely just as strong as Henry was before he killed the fox.

"What type of weapon would you like to use?" Henry asked as he looked at Sarah. Since he was required to get more humans that could help him, he had decided to start with the one that were available.

Even though as they went around, they had already encountered several other humans, Henry didn't bother about them just yet. He had decided to test his theory first using Sarah.

Of course, there were some of them that had tried to control them by force. All of these were those that belonged to the facility before it was attacked.

For these kind of people, both Henry and Adam were not lenient in the least. As long as they encountered those that were in charge of the security, they killed them off.

That was one of the way that they were going to use to vent out their anger and frustration of staying in this facility for over a decade. Sarah was of course frightened when she saw that both Henry and Adam were actually killing other humans as well.

But, she didn't say anything. She convinced herself that they deserved this. After all, even her herself had been brought over here against her will. Just because of her skills, they had forced her to come over and work for them.

"I'm not sure. But, I have ever tried using a crossbow before." Sarah replied in a low voice. When Henry asked her the question, she could immediately tell what his intentions were.

Even though she was quite anxious, she had managed to gain some courage after killing a lot of apocalyptic creatures. Moreover, she could feel that she was far stronger than before.

All of this was something that she had experienced as she killed the apocalyptic creatures. But of course, this was under the assistance of the two. Had they not helped her in holding off apocalyptic creatures, then she could have been swarmed by the apocalyptic creatures.

Henry didn't say another word, but instead accessed the system store. He wanted to look for a crossbow that could be utilized by Sarah.

[Current mutation crystals balance is 2129.]

With the increase in efficiency, they had managed to kill a total of 86 apocalyptic creatures. As for Sarah, she had managed to kill exactly 70 apocalyptic creatures. Of course, these were all unranked apocalyptic creatures.

During this period, Henry had managed to kill eight level one apocalyptic creatures. Added to the leopard that they had killed previously, that brought a total of nine level 1 mutation crystals.

A body of a level 1 apocalyptic creature was worth one level one mutation crystal. For that reason, with 9 level 1 mutation crystals and nine level 1 apocalyptic creatures' bodies, Henry was able to exchange for 1,800 unranked mutation crystals.

Previously, he had spent five mutation crystals to purchase a box of bullets. After that, they managed to get at the armory. There, Henry went ahead and took all the bullets that were present which could be utilized in a pistol.

As for the other guns and so on, Henry didn't want to bring with him things that would only hinder his progress. Since killing the monsters using the guns was not going to increase his level, then, he decided not to carry them around with him.

Instead, he decided to lock the door of the armory. The reason behind this was, all the weapons that were present there were all dangerous. The level that they were currently in was not enough to deal with these hot weapons.

Since he didn't want to encounter any danger, then he had to look for other means to make sure that it never happened.

This time, Henry had decided to purchase a little more. The first thing that he targeted this time was definitely an armor. He had already seen as Adam suffered several injuries and was forced to use one of the healing portions that he had bought.

Adam's profession, the berserker, it was the one that they ignored defense as they attacked. For that reason, it was better if Adam could get something that would help him in defending as he sometimes forgot himself during fights.

Since there were three in number, he immediately began purchasing for the three of them. The armors that he purchased cost him a total of 900 mutation crystals.

[Current mutation crystal balance is 1,229.]

After he was done with that, he decided to continue preserving the mutation crystals. According to the hint that he had received from the information, he knew that the mutation crystals were very important during the later stages of the apocalypse.

With the appearance of two sets of armor, both Adam and Sarah were startled. Even though Adam had already seen as Henry took out a weapon, he could definitely not get used to seeing this.

As for Sarah, this was definitely the first time that she was seeing this. Even though she had gotten used to the feeling of getting stronger with the number of monsters that she killed, that was completely different from someone taking out something out of a thin air.

Henry completely ignored their gazes as he handed over the two sets of armor. "Put them on. You should be prepared to fight for a very long period of time." Henry stated.

The two Immediately began putting on the armors. Unlike the armors that were found in the ancient times, the one which were made from metal, these armors that have been given to Adam and Sarah were made from leather.

Even though it was true that Henry had never seen an armor that was made from leather, he still decided to trust the system. After all, all the products that had been sold from the system were all of good quality.

As for him, the advantage of owning the system showed up. With just a thought, an armor that was red in color suddenly appeared on his body. This was just like the armors that he had handed over to Adam and Sarah.

As for the crossbow, he had purchased one that cost him 250 mutation crystals.

With the three of them fully armed, they stepped towards the direction that they heard a loud commotion.

Along the way, they managed to kill a few more apocalyptic creatures. And just after Henry had managed to kill another panther with a slash of his sword, a certain notification appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host. You have managed to reach the second level of Rank O.]

Immediately after this notification, Henry suddenly felt that his stats had improved drastically. It wasn't just a matter of addition, but multiplication. It was a pity that he couldn't view his stats like those people who did for game characters.

[Congratulations. You are detected to be the first person to reach level two of Rank O within 1,000 miles. For that reason, you are rewarded with an option to select a skill of your choice.]

Immediately after the system prompt disappeared, another screen appeared in front of him. This was the same screen that had appeared after he had managed to kill the 10th monster.

This was the screen that was somehow related to the apocalypse. And when he saw it appearing, Henry immediately stopped moving, as he began reading through. After he finished, his expression was not filled with joy, but one with anticipation.
