Chapter 107: Akira and Carol

After parting ways with Carol and Monica, Akira continued through the factory district until he finally reached his destination—a building that had perhaps once been a warehouse. The walls and floor inside had only suffered minor wear and tear, and rows upon rows of large shelves contained Old World boxes—boxes he was certain were packed with relics.

Akira let out a whoop of joy. “All right! Hell yeah! Man, look at all this! We hit the jackpot!”

Of course, compared to finding an undiscovered ruin, this was a small victory. Still, by an average hunter’s standards it was a huge accomplishment.

Alpha grinned smugly. Of course! Told you so, didn’t I?

You sure did! All right, let’s get to work hauling all this out and head back home! Invigorated, Akira began inspecting the packages. They were sealed shut and weren’t labeled, so he couldn’t tell exactly what was inside just at a glance.

I wonder what’s in here? Say, you think we could open them and find out?

Let’s hold off for the time being. If you start opening them, they’ll be exposed to damage if you get into a fight on the way home.

Hm, that’s true. Keeping them in their original packaging would be much safer than opening them, even for mere transportation. And the packaging had been made with Old World materials too, meaning it could potentially be sold to the right buyer as well. So it was best to keep everything as intact as possible. Akira remembered Sara telling him something like that too. But this also posed a problem. Without opening the boxes, I won’t know what’s actually worth taking, though. And what if they’re actually empty? He hefted one just to make sure. Even with his powered suit, it felt heavy enough that he probably wouldn’t have been able to lift it otherwise. There’s no way for you to check what’s inside, is there?

Let me try. Wait just a sec... Hmm, looks like a component for some machine. I can’t tell what kind, though.

Alpha augmented Akira’s vision, and the box became transparent enough to view the contents. He could make out a large metallic piece resembling a mechanical torso.

Huh. Well, Old World machine parts will probably sell for a good price. But let’s check the others just to make sure. He perused the rest in the same way, hoping to find some sort of valuable-looking relic, but every box contained similar items.

They were likely worth at least something: he was deep in the ruin at this point, Alpha had vouched for this place, and all the relics were all packed in boxes. Still, he couldn’t help but think that if he’d come across any of these parts half buried in the wasteland, he wouldn’t have even considered them worth picking up. He couldn’t help but let out a dissatisfied groan.

Don’t just stand there, Akira! Let’s grab one of these boxes and get back home. Since there’s not much difference in their contents, just pick one at random. We can always return and get more.
