Chapter 13 A Door Away…
?Cyrus took the money pouches, the dog tag, and the ID card of the guy he had just killed, whose name was Martian, and of course, the revolver.
Cyrus was quite familiar with Runic Guns of the cultivation world where he hailed from in his past life, so the concept of projectile weapons like guns was not novel to him.
On the contrary, he was quite fond of guns since they didn't need much effect to use and were quite easy to use as long as the aim was perfect.
Afterward, Cyrus found a green strip white hat in a small closet which probably came with the uniform, and wore it and even covered his face. Now that he had started killing, he didn't want to pretend to be anyone.
Because even if someone got fooled, once they discovered Martian and Logy missing, they would instantly know it was him, and his facial features would be known by the others. His hair color was simply too eye-catching.
There was nothing else worth taking, so he left the room and took the stairs down.
At the end of the staircase was another locked door, and it was opened by a key in Martian's possession.
A 5 meter in diameter tunnel appeared in Cyrus's view, and he didn't hesitate and started walking as the tunnel was lit under electric lights.
The tunnel was over two-hundred-meter-long and at the end of the tunnel was another door that was locked. Even after trying every key, it won't open, which made Cyrus frown.
He then had no choice but to bang the door five times just as he did with the black door and hoped that it was the right pass-knock. Just to be safe, he hid behind the wall beside the door.
"What the matter Martian, it's fucking 5 in the morning!" Another enraged voice rang. The other party was also sleeping and got disturbed.
Cyrus pretended to sound like Martian as he cursed back, "Some bastard wanted to refile the supplies, so here I am!"
"Fuck! Who is it who got up this early? Let me see that chode!" The person cursed in annoyance before hurried footsteps sounded. He was coming toward the door.
Cyrus's lips curled up as lust sword manifested in his hand.
Thereupon, the metal door blasted open as an old man with a fuming face appeared, "Take me to…."
Alas, he didn't even react before he felt his view suddenly twist, and the floor was coming closer and closer before it was completely darkened.
Cyrus coldly looked at the cleaved head before it turned into particles.

Cyrus no longer cared about the scatter cloths as he took the keys in the keyhole and locked the door.
There was the same kind of interior as a stairway leading upward, and another opened the door.
He didn't bother with it this time. He was already carrying more than enough, and it would only slow him down. But when he appeared in the hallway, he saw there were three more locked doors.
Name plates were stamped on them, 'Storage Facility-1,' and the other two were 2 and 3. At the end of the hallways was another door.
Without hesitation, he headed toward the door at the end. Time was not on his side. He had to make it to the other side before things started to turn bad.
He slowly opened the door and took a peek, and to his elation, there wasn't anyone. Furthermore, he quickly appeared in a spacious hall, which was actually the inner structure of the wall.
There was an empty counter at the west wing, and many handling trolleys were lined beside a wall.
But Cyrus's attention was drawn by two steel doors in the center of this hall, and he knew it was the way toward the other side.
It was another locked door, but to his surprise, it got unlocked when he used the old man's keys to open the door!
Cyrus's eyes brightened, and quickly slipped behind the door and locked it again.
Another tunnel appeared, and without hesitation, he headed toward the other side. There were tracks of wheels in the tunnel, and Cyrus carefully followed them.
This tunnel was over 400 meters long, and he finally appeared in front of two large doors which were stamped with a big 'District-U.' 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
Without even trying any keys, Cyrus knew they were locked. But unlike before, there was a button right beside the door, and a speaker was embedded right above it.
Squinting his eyes, he pressed the button, and soon a crisp voice rang, "ID number!"
Cyrus cocked an eyebrow since it was his first time hearing another woman's healthy voice after Eve in this world.
He then quickly took out Martian's ID card, and there was a 21-digit number below it, so he just repeated it.
The voice rang again, "Why are you here in the wee hour?"
"I needed to report an incident, and it's quite urgent!" Cyrus made an excuse.
"What incident?" The woman sounded astonished.
"I can't tell you, miss. I need to meet with a Rank-2 officer at least, or I can always come back later, but that delay will be your responsibility!" Cyrus coolly stated.
He knew the police officer were rank-0 to rank-5 in slum districts. The Rank-0 officers were like Logy and Martian, while Rank-5 officers were also known as District Commissioners. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
Followed by a rank-4 officer Deputy District Commissioner and a rank-3 Assistance District Commissioner.
A rank-2 officer was known as District Minister and also the one who was easiest to reach, while those rank-3, rank-4, and rank-5 were too hard to get in touch with. These rank officers only exist in A, B, C, D, and F districts.
But still, a rank-2 officer wasn't easily met as well. They all lived in sub-district no 1, those districts were at the heart of every district, and only rank officers lived in that area!
