Chapter 176 - Latif City (3) (2/2)
'I already have a lot of medicine with me but no vitamins. It's better to have more than less, especially with that kid with me…'
Rain began pouring from the sky.
Pitter-patter!
Pitter-patter!
Pitter-patter!
'Hmph… Great. Just my luck! Thank you, Lady Luck. You really love me…'
'I'm going to get wet and my invisibility would be useless under the rain…'
An image of Zita collapsing flashed inside his head.
'I hope that kid would not be too stupid to relax because it's raining…'
'She doesn't have invisibility and it makes it harder to detect sounds because of all the noise that the rain is making…'
He shook his head.
'No point in worrying about that…'
'If she can't even survive if something like that happens then that's her fault…'
'Time to check the last location -- Brown Sports Complex…'
Brown Sports Complex was closer to Latif High School.
However, between the Brown Sports Complex and Latif State University Campus 1, the latter was closer to Latif High School.
'Sigh… Please, please, please, let me finally find some good news or anything useful…'
***
The rain continued pouring when Nathan arrived in front of the Brown Sports Complex.
Although he was invisible, the rain pouring down on him gave his location away, making him look like a 2.2m-tall silhouette of a man.
Because of this, he had to kill the zombies he encountered along the way just to be sure.
He swept his gaze at the gates of the building.
They were large steel pipes -- some were as large as an a.d.u.l.t's forearm while the others were as large as an a.d.u.l.t's t.h.i.g.h. Even the D2 zombie who had 62 points on STR and Nathan himself with 70 (+5) would have a hard time breaking them.
The Brown Sports Complex is actually an indoor basketball court. However, it's also used as a volleyball court, cheer dance competition, martial arts competition, mini-concerts and many more.
'The main gate is locked…'
He decided to check the other gates.
After one minute…
'All the gates are locked…'
'In addition to that, all the passageways are suspiciously covered with boxes and tarpaulin. Normally, those passageways give outsiders a peek of what's happening inside…'
Growing up, Nathan watched some of the events held at the Brown Sports Complex. Some were for school requirements while others were for entertainment.
He also used to pass by this building because there were many street food stalls near the area.
There was also a public swimming pool, football field, race track, tennis court and gym nearby, and not to mention the two schools -- Latif State University Campus 1 and Latif High School.
Because of these things, the street food stalls here were actually pretty good, making it a great place for buying cheap but tasty snacks and also a popular dating spot for students and people who don't want or can't spend that much.
And of course, he, Karen, Vincent and Nikki also used to spend some time here as well.
'There only two ways I can enter -- either find a thin wall and destroy it, or climb over to the rooftop and find a passageway or make one…'
'I'll try to check if there's a thin wall first…'
He circled around the building.
He found a back door and grabbed the doorknob.
Ku-chud!
'Of course, it's locked…'
He summoned a dagger from his [Artifact] Gold Spatial Finger and destroyed the lock.
Krang!
He pushed the door.
Thud!
The door only managed to nudge a few centimeters.
Tsk!
He was about to forcefully open it but stopped.
Although it was raining so it was noisy, if he forcefully pushes it open, it could still make a loud noise which could attract unnecessary attention which he didn't want to.
Also, what if his parents and relatives: Amir's father, mother and sister are here? He didn't want to cause them any trouble.
'No choice but to climb…'
He circled around the building once more to find an ideal spot for climbing.
He found it and he immediately started climbing.
When he got to the rooftop, he found a couple of things that caused his lips to curl up into a smile.
There were empty cans, bottles of beverages, buckets and folding chairs.
'There's really people here.'
He saw a door and grabbed its doorknob.
Ka-cha!
It wasn't locked.
He entered and found a staircase leading downwards to another door.
He closed the door behind him before climbing down the stairs and opened the other door.
Ka-cha!
He found himself inside a booth where the announcers and technical staff will be stationed. It was on the top floor, giving them an overlooking view of everything happening at the basketball court.
He approached the windows to see if there were really people inside this sports complex.
When he reached the window, his eyes became wide like saucers.
”What the f.u.c.k…?”
