"Wait, we don't want to fight!" Gisle said loudly and stepped forward. He would first try to resolve this matter peacefully, as he had said before.
"What am I to talk to you about? Isn't it clear that you ca here for supplies?" Said the man firmly holding the gun.
Four more n ca out of the crowd, each ard with so edged weapon at the sa mont. So with a bat, so with a knife or a hamr. They were also highly aggressive.
"Yes, we do need supplies. But, we're not going to take everything. Put aside your fear and think logically. Fifty people won't eat all the food in such a big store. It will go bad! We only need so of it."
'Gisle speaks quite convincingly, and his words make sense, but they don't seem capable of thinking rationally.' Thought Wain looking at the man with the gun.
He pondered sothing but then shouted, 'Don't try to trick , I don't want to kill you, but I'll do it if you don't leave. The end of the world has begun, and I will do anything to survive!"
"Listen to !" Said Gisel, he tried to change the man's mind, but he was having no luck.
So might say that the man acted very foolishly, but that was only true if Gisel wasn't fooling him. If a group of students took as much as they could carry, there would be enough food for everyone.
But, there was also the possibility that when Gisel ca close, he would kill them and take all the food for himself. In that case, the man's actions, on the contrary, made sense.
"I've run out of patience. I give you five seconds to get out of here!" The man shouted and began to count.
Gisel frowned and prepared for battle, as did the other students. They had superpowers, souls, and powerful weapons, but they were still mortal. If they were shot in the head, they would die like normal people.
When the man had almost finished counting to the end and was ready to attack, sothing happened that no one could have expected. Suddenly a dark sword appeared over the man, the people behind him noticed it, but they didn't have ti to warn him.
The sword fell down and sliced the man's body in two. Then Wain stepped forward and slipped his hand with the ring under his black cloak. The next second, a massive, black pistol appeared in his hand.
Wain instantly fired four shots, and four n fell with their heads blown off. The caliber of this gun and its firepower was enormous.
Everyone was shocked. Wain tucked the gun under his cloak with a calm face and moved it to the Ring of Damned.
Wain looked at the people near the supplies and said coldly, "If you want to live, step aside. I'm not the most patient man."
Gisle himself could not have acted so cruelly, but he had no qualms about Wain. After all, if not for his equanimity and drastic actions, one of them would have been injured. Either way, a battle was inevitable, so it was the best option left for them.
Hearing Wain's words, the n stepped aside and stayed away from the supplies. They knew that there was no way they could beat twelve people with special abilities.
Moreover, they were terrified of Wain's skills. Even without his abilities, he could kill them with a pistol. Wain shot at an excellent level.
Gisle and the other students began to sort out the supplies. They put the food into their bags, filling them completely. Each of them had to carry at least twenty kilograms of food.
Wain stepped aside and watched intently. He opened a pack of cigarettes, pulled out a cigar, and used a lighter.
Wain blew out a puff of smoke and thought to himself, 'I've killed enough monsters lately. Perhaps I can improve so other skill?'
The next mont a system window appeared in front of him, but the list of skills or souls he could improve was blank.
Wain sighed in frustration. He had to kill more to get stronger souls.
'The idea of going to the ant colony doesn't seem as crazy to now as it used to. There's a beach and a forest near the university, so I'll have to go to the woods. I'll probably be able to encounter a lot of dangerous monsters there before they get out of the area.' Thought Wain.
After a while, a group of students finished gathering supplies. Each of them had a large bag with lots of food. Grut had three bags full of food.
Gisle was smart, so they took only the best and most compact foods. Chips and similar foods didn't make sense. They took up too much space and usually weighed no more than two hundred grams.
,m However, as Gisle said, there was plenty of food left over. They couldn't carry it all away if they wanted to, and what's more, they weren't so cruel as to leave fifty people without food.
"Let's go." Said Gisle and headed for the exit.
Wain put out his cigarette and followed them, but suddenly the whole building shook. Wain thought so huge worm-like monster was attacking them. People thought an earthquake had started, but they were all wrong.
Suddenly, the warehouse floor collapsed with all the people and the mountain of food. Wain and the others ran toward the hole that had ford. At the bottom, they saw an expanse of space.
The fall was not high, so most people were not hurt. Moreover, their fall was cushioned by the mountain of food. They tried to climb up through the wreckage, but suddenly everyone there saw sothing strange.
Unbeknownst them, a dark fog appeared in the warehouse and headed downstairs.
'What the fuck is going on here?' Wain thought to himself. He couldn't mistake this dark fog for anything else. It was definitely the fog that had destroyed his world.
This ti, however, the dark mist had a very different purpose. It would develop this world, not destroy it.
The dark mist penetrated the ground, and the ground trembled again. The floor collapsed again, and Wain and a group of students fell to the bottom. Each of them managed to react and land carefully, none of them injured. But, that was only the beginning.
Suddenly, a structure began to crawl out of the ground. No one, including Wain, understood what was happening. It was sothing none of them had ever encountered before.
The structure was made of dark and purple materials. It looked eerie and intimidating. When it ca completely out of the ground, Wain thought to himself, 'Is this a crypt?'
This structure looked a lot like a crypt. But, only very scary and with a strange aura emanating from it.
The entrance to the crypt was a massive, black gate with the image on it of so unknown creatures. Above the gate, a large, oval-shaped crystal glowed brightly on top of the crypt. It was white and only one.
Wain didn't know what it ant, but images of white souls imdiately appeared in his mind.
'This white crystal...it looks like white souls, does that an it's so kind of indicator of complexity?'
Wain realized that this place was not to be expected to do any good. He assud that there might be monsters or other hostile creatures inside. It wasn't hard to guess before that.
'There are also strange streaks under the crystal. There are ten in all, but only four of them glow. If the crystal denotes complexity, what do these stripes an? While Wain was thinking, suddenly, the gate to the crypt opened.
