Although Lao Zhang's explanation sounded unreliable, Wang Lan couldn't think of a way to refute it for the time being, so he could only believe him. He took the axe and weighed it in his hand, and found that it was actually quite heavy.

The axe is sharp, with a red bristle, and is the right size, making it a truly good piece of equipment.

"I wasn't wrong, was I?" Old Zhang said, though he was a little guilty. "I saw a few more fire hydrants over there, and maybe there's other equipment inside."

“This doesn’t seem like…a place where you can get loot,” Sun Muchen picked up a red round bottle with the words “Fire Extinguisher” written on it. “This looks like a tool used to put out fires,” she said.

Old Zhang: "..."

Wang Lan asked, "What do you mean? Isn't this an equipment depot?"

Sun Muchen shook his head. "Didn't Lao Zhang say there are fire hydrants over there? I guess the things inside are all the same, just these few types."

Wang Lan handed the axe to Lao Zhang, then walked towards another fire hydrant. Sure enough, inside were the usual three items: a water bag, an axe, and a fire extinguisher.

Old Zhang immediately felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Let's think about the next step as soon as possible. The monsters outside are still attacking, and the light network definitely needs a certain energy supply. Since it needs energy, there will be consumption. Once the energy is exhausted, those monsters will rush in, and we'll be in trouble."

I must say the topic switch was very well done.

They definitely need to consider their next steps.

“But judging from this, there should be no survivors left in the final fortress,” Sun Muchen said. “So many infected have appeared, and with such a commotion, no one has come out. The final fortress has most likely been completely wiped out.”

"Let's check if there are any other switches on the wall!" Wang Lan said. "This single-level apartment is clearly not a place for living; there must be an underground passage."

Sun Muchen and Lao Zhang were both convinced of Wang Lan's statement, and with the optical network serving as a temporary defense, they were not worried that the monsters would rush in anytime soon.

So they split into three groups and began searching for any buttons on the walls inside the fortress, which might be the key to opening the underground passage.

Starting from the entrance, Wang Lan and Sun Muchen walked in opposite directions, searching for clues on the walls, while Lao Zhang once again headed towards the cars parked in the middle.

"I reckon the final fortress is truly deserted!"

As Old Zhang walked around the car, he said to the two of them, "This car is covered in a layer of dust. It looks like no one has cleaned it in a long time."

The spacious room housed only the three of them, and their voices echoed softly, so there was no worry that Wang Lan and Sun Muchen wouldn't be able to hear them.

Wang Lan replied, "Whether there are people or not, we have to look for them. This situation is not something the three of us can handle on our own."

“I actually hope there’s no one else,” Old Zhang said. “The more people there are, the more trouble there will be. There’s backstabbing and mutual suspicion. It’s better to just have the three of us and be freer.”

As he was talking, Old Zhang went around to the back of the car. As soon as he put his foot down, he felt as if he had stepped on something. Just as he was about to look down to take a closer look, he suddenly heard a mechanical "crackling" sound.

The sound was amplified infinitely inside the fortress, and Wang Lan and Sun Muchen hurriedly ran towards Old Zhang.

About ten meters behind Lao Zhang, a black metal cuboid emerged from the ground. As the cuboid continued to extend, it also unfolded and deformed.

Finally, in the eyes of the three, the cuboid had transformed into a wall of equipment that was two meters high and eight meters wide.

The equipment wall is divided into three parts.

One part contains all the necessary equipment, including combat uniforms and bulletproof vests. In the middle, there are various guns of different lengths and sizes, while on the other side hang close-combat weapons such as daggers and machetes.

A dazzling array of items, sure to catch the eye.

This is truly a windfall...

The three were stunned. They had never seen so many weapons before, and they were overjoyed to see them so close. They ran over.

Old Zhang picked up a machine gun and hugged it to his chest. Although the machine gun was big and heavy, he loved it. He stroked the gun body, looked at the dark muzzle, and grinned foolishly.

Wang Lan picked up a gun with a very long muzzle, because this gun looked different from the others, especially since it had two muzzles connected together.

Old Zhang explained, "That's a shotgun, a high-burst weapon at close range, extremely lethal!"

“I know,” Wang Lan nodded.

"You know?" Old Zhang asked in surprise, "You know about guns too?"

How could Wang Lan not understand that the effects of the gun user were obtained from the C system?

Although he didn't know the name of the gun, the moment he got his hands on it, he knew all its parts, how to use it, the bullet configuration, the reloading method, and so on.

"I never expected there would be an armory here!"

Sun Muchen was both surprised and delighted. Although she had read in the book that "guns are men's toys," she was still extremely excited when she saw these guns.

"Since there's no name on it, whoever finds it gets to keep it. Hurry up and get the equipment back!"

Wang Lan said excitedly, "Old Zhang, your physical fitness is average, so you should mainly use the machine gun. If there is danger, you can provide long-range fire support and suppression. Mu Chen, you should mainly use the pistol, but you can also add a sniper rifle, preferably with a scope, so you can spot and solve problems in advance."

Sun Muchen naturally had no objection to Wang Lan's suggestion.

Old Zhang looked at Wang Lan with a strange expression and asked, "Do you know so much about this?"

"I know a little bit about it."

Wang Lan answered, then glanced at the gun in Lao Zhang's hand and said, "Your machine gun is equipped with 7.62mm bullets, with a maximum capacity of fifty rounds. It's here."

He actually found the corresponding bullet very quickly.

Then, turning his head, he saw Sun Muchen swaying between several sniper rifles. He walked over and said, "Let's choose these two. I think with your physical abilities, carrying two guns on your back won't be a problem. The XM109 sniper rifle, though called a rifle, is practically a cannon because its bullet caliber is 25mm. And add this one..."

Wang Lan suddenly stopped talking because he realized that he couldn't name the other gun.

He also discovered that some of the weapons on the equipment wall could be directly identified by the C system, but others displayed the words "database unknown".

In other words, the other part of the guns whose names cannot be identified are not in the database of the C system.

Why is that?

Does this mean that the C system is not omniscient and omnipotent?

Instead, it relies on existing data to make calculations, judgments, and identifications. Beyond this existing data, the C system is helpless.
