BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121 New Quest?!
At this point, Hikaru felt a bit confused, he wondered why Laylah was helping him so much.
Hikaru glanced at Laylah, but Laylah didn\'t notice him, she was just standing on the side of the road, looking in the distance as something occupied her thoughts.
Suddenly, a bulletin board appeared in front of him.
[Ding! You have successfully activated a special quest, do you want to accept this quest?]
"Special quest?" Hikaru frowned, feeling extremely confused. In fact, the system never offered him any quest.
It seemed that this system had no tasks and only a few simple features.
Due to this Hikaru\'s survival depended on his wits and abilities. The system didn\'t even have any rewards for him.
However, now that the system activated the quest function for him he felt confused.
Suddenly, Rika\'s voice resounded: [The quest will be activated when you meet the requirements. Although the condition to activate a quest is extremely mysterious and difficult, after completing the quest, the reward will be enormous.]
Hikaru was happy to hear Rika\'s words, he opened the bulletin board to look at it, then frowned.
[Hidden Quest: You have taken all the vital food supplies so that Delmor won\'t be able to thrive in this city. If you destroy this city\'s arsenal, Delmor will have to find another city to develop.]
[That will cause his growth and opportunities to almost completely disappear and he will become a normal character.]
[Objective: Destroy the city\'s armory.]
[Reward: depends on your ability to complete the quest.]
After reading the quest announcement, Hikaru frowned, feeling confused. He immediately asked Rika: "Why destroy the weapons? Isn\'t it enough for me to take all the weapons, why do I need to destroy the arsenal?"
[Haizzz, Hikaru, your intention is to use Delmor as both a resource provider and a blacksmith to help you forge equipment, right?]
Hikaru nodded.
[If you have a weapon in your hand and it reaches Tier E, then you won\'t be afraid of the power of guns anymore, so you won\'t need that amount of weapons.]
[Delmor can trade with you. He can also craft items or use resources to trade for more weapons for himself.]
[Do you understand?]
Hikaru nodded and said, "But… after you explanation, will the quest remain the same if I exchange weapons with him?"
[Hahaha… Hikaru, you think too simply. If it were that simple, the system wouldn\'t have asked you to destroy that arsenal.]
Hikaru felt extremely weary. However, Hikaru really thought that he could use the food and weapons to exchange for Delmor\'s services.
After all, when his power reached Tier E, he wouldn\'t need to worry when facing gun-like weapons.
But Delmor was different, he needed to have enough food and weapons for the survivors he saved.
Delmor in the novel was a main character whose main strength was in territory building and leadership. Therefore, he believed that Delmor would need an extremely large amount of food and weapons for the survivors of his base to use.
Secondly, why hadn\'t Delmor crafted weapons for other people.
It was a simple matter. Hikaru discovered that Delmor didn\'t even have a special weapon of his own right now.
That said, Delmor didn\'t have enough materials to craft any items.
Hikaru didn\'t feel that this was strange, after all, the end of the world had just begun. The only danger right now are Zombies, but the zombie\'s body doesn\'t have anything useful other than energy crystals.
To craft items, Delmor needs a lot of things, much like how the Panara Box\'s \'fusion space\' works.
If the materials isn\'t enough for Delmor to craft weapons for himself, the others won\'t have anything to use either.
Therefore, Delmor will aim for the most useful and easiest weapons to use right now… guns.
And the place with the most guns… is the armory of the city.
As for the reason why this armory does not have many guards, it is necessary to ask the author again.
Hikaru sighed and nodded, then approached Laylah: "Can you…can you take me to the armory?"
Laylah heard Hikaru\'s voice but she still didn\'t react. Her gaze still focused into the distance.
Hikaru frowned, he wanted to say something but he decided to stay silent, and wait for her next reaction.
After a while, Laylah said, "You…can you destroy the army of this city?"
Hikaru shrugged his shoulders: "I don\'t know what kind of monsters the army possesses. If there are people in the army with the same strength as you… I\'m sorry, I can\'t do that."
Laylah heard that sighed and said, "That\'s right… anyway, you and I aren\'t as close as I thought."
"That\'s right." Hikaru nodded: "You and I are just in a cooperative relationship. I need your strength and information, while you need a safe and well-stocked place to hide."
"I even helped you solve the problem of the Zombie Virus and helped you become an evolved person, whole possess superpowers with tremendous might."
"Ah! I also gave you a bow."
Laylah heard that frowned and said, "Do you… remember all that?"
"That\'s right." He shrugged: "It\'s not a gift for you anyway. I\'m just investing in you."
Layla nodded…
Hikaru felt strange. He thought Laylah was going to use some weird excuses against him.
However, she just kept quiet and looked into the distance.
"Haizzz, okay, you want to find the armory? Follow me."
After Laylah said that, she walked forward, Hikaru also shook his head then followed behind.
The two of them moved incredibly fast from the top of one building to another. Reaching the last building near the edge of the city, Laylah suddenly stopped and said, "The armory is not inside the city, but about 10 kilometers west of the city."
Hearing that, Hikaru nodded. In fact, the armory was always located outside the city square, however, not too far from the city.
Because it was a position where if something happened in the city, the army could quickly reach the armory.
"However, I don\'t know the exact location, I only know it\'s in the west, 10 kilometers away from the city. And the armory\'s manager is…"
"Gray Wolf, right?" Hikaru interrupted Laylah\'s words.
Even though Laylah didn\'t understand why Hikaru knew this, she wasn\'t surprised either.
"That\'s right." Layla nodded.
Hikaru took a deep breath, he seemed to be able to guess the exact location of the armory.
Anyway, the map of this world is taken from the novel series "Apocalypse: I own the Panara Box", so Hikaru could guess where the city\'s armory is.
Moreover Hikaru could guess who was in charge of that arsenal.
Gray Wolf.
And of course, Hikaru also knew that Gray Wolf was the mayor of this city.
In the novel, after Tadashi took the Noack mansion as his base, Gray Wolf still hadn\'t captured the arsenal.
Why?
Because although Gray Wolf had awakened his super powers from the very beginning of the apocalypse he still needed a long time to control the army.
Of course, the time was not too long, anyway, that was the plot of the author of tha novel.
Later, Gray Wolf decided to work with Tadashi to take over the arsenal.
At that time, the armory was guarded by a monster with tremendous power. Don\'t ask why the armory has a monster guarding it, that\'s the author\'s plot.
Hikaru didn\'t know why either.
Anyway, he didn\'t care about that. But in the end, Gray Wolf revealed that in the past, he was an organ trafficker.
Tadashi, enraged by this, tried to kill Gray Wolf. Hmm… then, Hikaru didn\'t know what later happened because he didn\'t read it to the end.
But Hikaru felt a little amused. The author of the novel series \'Apocalypse: I own the Panara Box\' did not build Tadashi as an honest protagonist.
And Tadashi is a main character that represents the darkness of the apocalypse. But in the end, Tadashi got angry when he learned the truth about Gray Wolf.
Many people think that the author wanted to create a receiving point, making it easier for people to accept and support Tadashi\'s character.
And perhaps the author also wanted to create a conflict between Tadashi and Gray Wolf but didn\'t know how to.
In the end, the author developed a plot that seems… illogical. But anyway, this was a novel, so everyone was happy, as there was no need to care about logic.
Back in the present, when Hikaru said the name "Gray Wolf", Laylah didn\'t feel weird either.
After all, she already knew many things in her heart, she just didn\'t want to say it. And of course, Laylah could happily accept being a stupid, questionless girl, so she could continue following Hikaru.
Hikaru was different, he frowned when Laylah didn\'t ask him any questions. This made him even more worried.
\'Could it be… Laylah is up to something?\'
\'Haizzz, a woman\'s mind is like the ocean, no matter how much effort and time it takes, it can\'t be discovered.\'
Hikaru shook his head, he felt like he didn\'t want to think about this matter anymore.
He just felt lucky that the author of the novel series \'Apocalypse: I own the Panara Box\' has described the path to the armory very carefully.
This time, Hikaru led the way, and Laylah quietly followed him. Laylah\'s silence did not reassure him, on the contrary, he was more worried.
Even though Hikaru was running forward, he always took notice of Laylah running behind him.
