The Management Group hadn't mentioned any corpses here, which startled Chen Bei.
His personal 'Sanity' attribute dropped by 2 points, falling to 98.
It seemed that some terrifying events could cause damage to one's Sanity.
If the Sanity attribute dropped too much, he wasn't sure what the consequences would be.
Chen Bei quickly calmed down.
Because he worked in a funeral home and dealt with corpses all day, he had a high tolerance for them and wasn't that scared.
He even observed the two corpses carefully, like a forensic doctor.
The corpses were one male and one female.
The male corpse was incomplete; his neck was bitten off, and there were multiple claw marks on his body, with much of his flesh missing, revealing shocking wounds.
Especially his belly was torn open, with intestines spilling out, emitting a pungent stench.
The female corpse lay face down in a pool of blood, her clothes and skirt torn, and her feet were bare.
It was hard to imagine what these two corpses had experienced before their deaths.
Looking further ahead, a black backpack lay quietly on the ground, looking quite ordinary on the outside.
Was this the Dimensional Backpack?
Chen Bei feigned composure, stepped over the corpses, and picked up the backpack.
This action drew the attention of the Management Group.
【What did this Zero Degree do before? His reaction to the corpses is too calm.】
【I checked the information; he used to work in a funeral home.】
【No wonder.】
【Being accustomed to life and death will give him a greater advantage in playing this game.】
【Yeah, I hate those new players who freak out when they see corpses.】
Chen Bei picked up the backpack, and a prompt popped up.
【Discovered Level 1 Dimensional Backpack, capacity 25 units, can only store objects, cannot store living creatures.】
It really was a Dimensional Backpack!
Chen Bei was a little excited and immediately opened the backpack to look inside.
Upon opening, a new page popped up.
It had 25 horizontally and vertically arranged empty slots.
Chen Bei took out the tape from his pocket and put it into the backpack; the tape instantly disappeared.
The icon for the tape appeared in the first slot on the interface.
When he took the tape out again, the slot became empty.
It was just like a backpack in a game.
“Good stuff! With this, it will be more convenient for me to collect resources.”
At this moment, Chen Bei felt the thrill of getting divine equipment during the Novice period of a game.
Although he didn't know much about this dormitory survival game, he could confirm that this was definitely one of the best pieces of equipment at this stage!
Chen Bei put on the backpack, positioning it facing his front so it would be easier to store and retrieve items.
He thought there might be other things in this room, so he looked around and found that the layout of this room was much larger than an ordinary dormitory.
A long table was placed to one side, with various tools scattered on it, even a welding torch!
This was a big discovery!
Chen Bei excitedly walked over, intending to take everything on it.
Upon touching the table, a prompt appeared.
【Discovered Primary Workbench, can be used to craft various items and equipment.】
Workbench?
Chen Bei moved the tools on the table and found that he couldn't take them; the tools seemed to be integrated with the table.
【To use the Workbench, please input crafting materials.】
A new prompt appeared.
Chen Bei had materials on him, so he tried putting a roll of tape and a parts box on it.
【Missing blueprint/recipe. This will be a blind craft. Do you wish to proceed?】
Yes!
Chen Bei's thought moved, and his hands spontaneously became busy, moving rapidly on the table.
It was truly the hand speed of someone who had been single for twenty years.
After a flurry of activity.
A puff of black smoke erupted from the table with a bang.
【Crafting failed. Materials are scrapped.】
“…”
Chen Bei was speechless.
He had wasted two sets of materials for nothing.
“It mentioned blueprints just now, so it seems you need blueprints to craft things, otherwise it's just a shot in the dark.”
Chen Bei stopped messing around.
Instead, he tried to take the entire Workbench.
This action actually succeeded!
An entire Workbench was put into the Dimensional Backpack, occupying 5 slots.
Chen Bei had just tried it casually, not expecting it to actually work.
The Dimensional Backpack was too powerful; it was simply Doraemon's pocket.
If the Workbench stayed here, it would be public.
If it was put into the backpack, then it was Chen Bei's personal property!
“The Management Group mentioned that it would get dark in an hour, but the problem is there's no timer, so I don't know how much time has passed; I can only estimate by feeling.”
“From the beginning until now, it should be between fifteen and twenty minutes. I don't have much time left…”
Chen Bei calculated, his heart inevitably anxious.
Even if he was a step ahead of others, scavenging everywhere, his only additional weapon was a wooden spike.
In terms of self-defense, it was far from enough.
Fighting a zombie 1v1, he didn't have much chance of winning. If he encountered several zombies, he would be completely doomed.
He urgently needed to increase his strength!
Chen Bei saw that there was nothing else in the room and was about to leave. As he walked to the door—
【He just left like that, without properly searching the corpses. There's good stuff under the male corpse.】
An Administrator named Taozi said in the Management Group.
!!!
Chen Bei's heart stirred, and his steps faltered.
The Management Group said there was good stuff under the corpse.
How could he miss it?
Turning back directly to search would be too obvious.
Peeking at the Management Group was Chen Bei's advantage, equivalent to a cheat.
If the Administrators discovered he could peek, everything would be ruined.
He had to act again!
Chen Bei, as if possessed by an actor, deliberately slipped his foot while walking, performing a fall and getting blood all over himself.
After falling, he quickly got up, cursed loudly, and pretended to be very angry, kicking the two corpses wildly.
This made it seem logical.
He took the opportunity to grab the male corpse's severed arm and forcefully turned it over.
A flash of light appeared.
It turned out that under the male corpse, a gleaming fruit knife was pressed!
At this moment, this was already very valuable equipment.
Chen Bei was overjoyed, picked up the fruit knife, and gestured with it a couple of times.
【Obtained Level 1 Weapon: Fruit Knife.】
Fruit Knife
Category: Weapon
Attribute: Physical
Attack: 5
Durability: 10 / 10.
—
Regardless, this fruit knife was at least stronger than the wooden spike in Chen Bei's hand.
The wooden spike was an inferior weapon, not even Level 1, with only 2 attack power, while this fruit knife at least had 5 attack power.
Chen Bei searched the two corpses for a while longer but found nothing else, and he got blood all over his hands, which was very uncomfortable.
He had seen a shared bathroom earlier where he could wash up, provided the water inside was still usable.
Chen Bei left the room and walked towards the bathroom.
He just happened to encounter the people who had gone downstairs returning, and they met in the hallway.
When they went down, this group consisted of 5 people, but when they returned, it had increased to 8 people; someone must have joined them along the way.
They immediately saw the bloodstains on Chen Bei's hand and that fruit knife!
This easily led to speculation.
“This guy has blood on his hand and is holding a knife!”
“He couldn't have killed someone, could he?”
“I felt he was off earlier!”
The few people whispered, looking at Chen Bei with wary eyes.
Chen Bei didn't know how to explain, so he simply ignored them and walked directly into the bathroom by the side of the hallway.
The lights inside flickered, and the Mirror were shattered, creating a depressing atmosphere!
