24 Armoury (1/2)

'Alright, there shouldn't be a problem with the cameras. Only two guys manage the surveillance room. I should be able to take them out when I need it.' Wuxing thought after he finally found the room he wanted and entered there by the 'accident' to count the people operating it. To find it, he could only walk around randomly, looking as if he was searching for a specific room.

They didn't mind Wuxing entering, knowing who he was, the guard of Miss Guan and got back to their work without suspecting anything. Having one issue figured out, there was only two more left: checking out the docks and getting himself a weapon in case of an emergency.

He already found the best route he needed to take from the hospital to the main gate, so he only needed to determine the rest. There also some other precocious things he needed to take care off like a backup plan in case he was discovered while taking over the weekly supply ship, but he didn't have time to cover that right now.

Earlier he noticed that there were stairs leading towards the basement with the sign of an armoury, so that became his second target for today. It has already been about half an hour since Wuxing left Dongmei's apartment, leaving him only with a few until she comes back from work. It would be embarrassing to blow up his escape plan just before it even started.

On the basement floor, there was nothing other than the armoury. It was all closed up behind steel bars, only leaving a small window open where guards could communicate with the staff inside as pass each other weapons. The only doors there were blocked by a two meters tall steel beams which completely denied entry to anyone who wanted to break inside.

”I need a new gun, a few magazines and a new pass,” Wuxing called out coldly to the staff member behind the counter. He already learned that the guard he was impersonating didn't greet anyone in the prison and he was usually cold to others, looking at the reactions.

”Do you have permission from the Warden?” The staff fixed his glasses and asked as he slightly opened the window to allow Wuxing to slid the papers inside without even lifting his head to look who he was talking to.

”Four-eyes are you joking? I don't need any permission. I only work for Miss Guan.” Wuxing frowned and replied, imitating Dongmei's guard attitude.

”Oh! It's you! Did you shot all the bullets I gave you last time already? You are fast. What gun do you need this time?” The staff finally glanced at Wuxing and exclaimed right away when he saw him, reaching out to help.

'I guess he was quite a visitor here and I shouldn't blame him. It would be boring to stay on this island without any occasional fun with the guns.' Wuxing thought, feeling lucky the guard was a frequent guest here.

”Let me in and I will choose what I want by myself.” Wuxing proposed as he walked up to the doors.

”Well sure, but be quick. If anyone reports me to the Chief Warden, I will be in serious trouble.” The young staff with glasses hesitated for a moment but in the end, he opened the armoury for him. It wasn't his first time doing this favour for him, so he didn't mind.

When Wuxing saw all the guns and rifles laying around, he felt like home. He quickly skimmed through them all with his gaze and headed towards the pistols stand. There were not that many of them as most guards used rifles, but there were still some he could use. Fortunately, there happened to be one model he was looking for at the bottom of the shelf and he immediately pulled it up.

”Ah, Gold Beretta M9A3. Classic. I thought you liked strong handguns like magnum or desert eagle.” Four-eyes commented seeing what Wuxing picked.

Wuxing ignored him and asked as he measured the weight of the pistol, ”Do you have a second one?” He could use the newest version of the guns with many new features, but Wuxing preferred the older versions of pistols from years ago instead.

”I think I do. Here. Threaded barrel, increased magazine up to seventeen rounds and an optic crosshair added.” The staff nodded and quickly found the second one before passionately introducing it to him.
