The basement floor seemed to be in a power-off state. It was dark everywhere and could only be illuminated by a flashlight.
Chen Bei saw a light switch beside the wall and walked over to press it.
However, there was no response.
Sure enough, there was no electricity.
Chen Bei continued to explore and found that some parts of the basement floor were still sealed off.
Those blocked areas might be opened in the following days.
Chen Bei's flashlight was of great help. He successively found some empty rooms and casually searched them.
He got something in terms of food, materials, clean water...
The dimensional backpack was almost full!
If he took everything, the space would definitely not be enough, so he had to make choices.
Chen Bei's main goal in coming here was to look for the morgue.
He didn't waste time in those ordinary rooms and chose to speed up his search.
Because there wasn't much time left.
The management group had mentioned that the daytime lasted for exactly one hour and the night lasted for half an hour.
It was estimated that there were only about ten minutes left before it got dark again.
Chen Bei explored forward. The flashlight could only illuminate a small area, and the surroundings were immersed in the unknown darkness.
The air faintly smelled of decay, and the smell got stronger as he moved forward.
There were all kinds of things scattered on the ground, such as books, dirty clothes, broken buckets and so on.
There were also two blood handprints printed on the wall.
Whenever he saw these things, Chen Bei's sanity attribute would fluctuate.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Suddenly, a bell rang, which startled Chen Bei.
He tightly grasped the Chainsaw of the Madman, took two steps back, and his breathing became rapid.
The ringing of the bell was still resounding, and the sound was extremely harsh.
It sounded like an old-fashioned alarm clock.
Chen Bei knitted his brows tightly and summoned up his courage to move forward. On a counter, he saw the noisy alarm clock.
Sure enough, it was just the alarm clock trying to scare people.
"A low-end way of scaring people."
Chen Bei muttered and punched the button on the alarm clock. Finally, he managed to make the thing shut up.
Continuing his exploration, the stench of decay in front became even more pungent.
Until he came to a door, the stench reached its peak.
It was a double door with an iron lock hanging on it.
He shone the light upwards.
Three words "Morgue" were prominently hung above it!
"Finally found this place."
Chen Bei smiled.
Ordinary people would inevitably feel scared when coming to such a place and could scare themselves half to death.
Chen Bei had worked in a funeral parlor before and was used to seeing corpses, so he didn't care at all.
So he swung the weapon in his hand and attacked the chain hanging on the door with force.
-28!
-28!
-33!
Damage numbers popped up one by one.
He kept hitting the chain until it broke and fell down with a clatter.
Chen Bei pulled open the door.
As soon as the light shone in, rows of body refrigerators were right in front!
Due to the power outage, these refrigerators had lost their effect, and the corpses inside must have rotted, which was where the stench came from.
——
Meanwhile, on the eighth floor.
Three players gathered together, and their eyes fell on the door of Room 815.
"Look at their door. It's clearly a notch above ours."
"Everyone says this is the dormitory of Ling Du, the first place holder. It should be right."
"Let's check it out this time and come back tomorrow."
"Why wait until tomorrow?"
"If we break into the room now, we'll only get limited stuff. When we come back tomorrow, there will surely be more things inside. Then we can take everything and divide them up."
"Good idea. Let's do it that way! We'll act when he's away. It'll be safe and risk-free!"
The three of them discussed furtively and finalized a plan.
There were many ways to play the game.
Stealing from others' homes was also one of the ways!
——
In the morgue on the basement floor.
Chen Bei was all too familiar with these body refrigerators in front of him.
Some of the cabinets were open, and some were closed. There were numbers and names stuck on them.
Chen Bei walked to the opposite side, grabbed a handle, and pulled it outwards with force. Just like opening a drawer, he pulled out the heavy refrigerator.
Some sticky liquid dripped down accordingly.
Looking inside the refrigerator, there was a male corpse lying there with its eyes tightly closed and not moving at all.
Judging from the corpse's mouth and fingernails, it was a zombie!
According to the game rules, zombies fell into a deep sleep during the day.
Chen Bei was well prepared psychologically and didn't have much of a reaction when he saw the zombie. He raised his flashlight and lit up the zombie's face.
The rotten skin was uneven, and many places were damaged. Worms could be seen crawling under the skin and flesh.
"Time is limited. Let's get to work!"
Chen Bei knew exactly what he should do.
He turned the Chainsaw of the Madman in his hand, aimed the blade at the zombie's head, and then slammed it down hard.
Once, twice, three times...
Until he smashed the zombie's head to pieces and gained experience points.
These zombies were all in a sleeping state and were at the mercy of others!
Now is an excellent time to kill them. Once night falls, they will all come back to life.
In the management group, there have always been people paying close attention to Chen Bei, this special player.
[He's so lucky to be the first one to find the morgue.]
[The zombies in the morgue are at his mercy to be killed.]
[There are still 9 minutes until it gets dark. He has to hurry up.]
[There are not only zombies in those refrigerators, but also other good things.]
[Actually, I don't want anyone to kill all the zombies here. That would make the number of zombies on the second night too small to pose a threat.]
[Let's see. We can use our authority to temporarily release zombies into the game area.]
[There's no need. It's just a novice game. It's also good if more people can clear the game.]
[You're too soft-hearted towards the newbies. This doesn't conform to the purpose of the survival game!]
The management group is very lively, and different administrators have certain differences.
"There are still nine minutes left. I really have to hurry up!" Chen Bei sped up his pace. Once night comes and these zombies come back to life, the situation will be completely different! So he has to be quick!
Pull open the cabinets, kill the zombies, pull open the cabinets, kill the zombies... Chen Bei repeated the same actions. This is a carnage carnival!
When he ran out of stamina, he took out the energy bar snacks he found on the way and ate them.
After killing many zombies, the experience bar kept rising, and occasionally something would drop.
[Kill the target, gain 5 experience points, level up to level 5, gain attribute improvement, and unlock a skill slot.]
Level up!
Chen Bei felt a warm current flowing through his whole body, and his muscles felt a tingling sensation.
Finally, he unlocked the second skill slot. Now he can equip two skill cards at the same time.
However... There isn't a second skill card at all! Skill cards are rather rare, and he hasn't got a second one until now.
Chen Bei couldn't afford to be happy. He seized the time to continue eliminating the remaining zombies and pulled open the refrigerators one by one.
Clatter!
He pulled open another refrigerator. This time, there were two items inside instead of a zombie, and one of them was a card!
