"Captain, there are lights ahead!"
"Lights? Old Wu, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is a bizarre apocalypse; who would dare turn on lights? Could it be a trap set by some monster?"
“But we have no other choice now.” The speaker looked at their leader. “We’ve lost our supplies, and what we have won’t last more than a day. We also have several students with us. Although strange things are rampant, it’s only been three days. There might still be survivors!”
"Even if you're not a survivor, a low-star, eerie dungeon might still offer a chance to survive."
A few students who had been hiding behind the search and rescue team poked their heads out and said in full agreement, "Yes, yes, you're here to rescue us, so you have to make sure we're safe!"
"I can't go on anymore, I'm so hungry!"
One of the girls, a pampered and spoiled young lady, suddenly quit and sat down on the ground. The nameplate of Shanshui Noble High School on her clothes was particularly eye-catching.
I'm so hungry.
Upon hearing these words, the younger member of the search and rescue team almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Hungry?
If they hadn't thrown the supply packs like sandbags, how could they have ended up in this situation? They even chose to pass through the most difficult-to-access city in order to avoid walking through the mountains. Did they really think this was a picnic?
The entire search and rescue team's food was given to them first. The team leader hasn't eaten anything so far, he's only drunk a few sips of water.
"We should be close to the city now, maybe we can try our luck at the nearby supermarkets."
One of the team members, who looked a bit older, suggested it.
"I'm afraid that won't work. The fourth brother, who just went out to scout, said that this road has the fewest monsters, but..."
"But what?"
"But those eerie creatures seem to have been cleared away beforehand by something." The middle-aged team member paused, then asked doubtfully, "Don't you think the streets here are a little too clean?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the place was indeed much cleaner. The bloodstains on the street seemed to have been washed away, and there were no broken pieces of corpses or scattered internal organs, as if nothing had ever happened.
And at the end of this road is the place where the lights are turned on.
The implication is either that there are survivors there, and they are very powerful, even clearing out the nearby ghosts, or that the being there is something that even these ghosts and monsters would not want to provoke.
Based on the fact that the country and even the world are still functioning and can still transmit information, we know that the strange creatures in this eerie world are also divided into different levels, and the more powerful the strange creature, the higher its star rating.
Is it a human or a monster? To go or not to go...
"Given the current situation, we have no choice but to give it a try."
At this point, there's no good solution. It will take at least three days to get to Noah's Base from here, and without supplies, they won't make it to Noah's Base.
Having made up their minds, the team leader led the way, with a few team members bringing up the rear, and the group cautiously approached the light.
...
"You guys, go sweep the east side, and you guys, go check the west side."
"Butler, my companions say that a few humans seem to have accidentally wandered into our area?"
"Humans?"
"Yes, do we need to clear it out?" Since becoming a cleaner here, I've been able to enjoy top-notch delicacies from the gourmet master from time to time, which is much better than my previous helpless and lonely life of hunting.
There's no need for fighting or killing; just cleaning, patrolling the surroundings, and even holidays for rest—it's enough to be enticing even without ghost money.
However, I wonder what they would think if they knew that the so-called top-notch delicacies they ate were just leftovers from the Monster Warehouse canteen.
After careful consideration, the food critic dared not make any rash decisions. "Keep an eye on them. If they don't do anything dangerous, then leave them alone. If they do... you know what I mean."
After saying that, the gourmet looked back at the corridor on the right side of the small house.
I wonder what the boss is doing. Not long after he accepted the contract that brought him wealth, he happily ran to his room and hasn't come out yet. The food I made is still warm. I don't know when I'll be able to give it to him!
Thinking of this, the gourmet couldn't help but take out a piece of braised pork from his pocket and throw the whole piece into his mouth, which was located in his belly button.
Delicious moments, long live the boss!
I don't know what Zhao Cai is doing. He just stays in the warehouse and doesn't even care about his own bus. He's wasting his time and has no ambition at all!
Just as I was complaining, the old bus slowly appeared on the planned road and stopped not far from the hut.
"Hey, head butler, come out and lend a hand!" The driver poked his head out and called to the gourmet, "Mr. Painted Skin sent some things to the boss, and I can't carry them all by myself. Can you come and help me?"
Without the presence of the Wealth God, this bus is just a rather eerie-looking bus. However, when the Painted Skin first saw the bus, a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes.
They were all from the Ghost Clan, so they had naturally heard of this one-star dungeon. They never expected that in less than half a day, that woman named Su Luo would not only take over his Delicious Restaurant, but also get her hands on the Midnight Bus. She certainly had some tricks up her sleeve.
However, the strange box on the midnight bus was nowhere to be found. The driver, who was under its command, said that it was staying in the boss's small house and refused to come out.
They're offering free room and board, yet they're abandoning their own bizarre dungeon? Is a dorm room really that great?
Painted Skin fell into deep thought, puzzled.
That food critic from before, this dorm is truly extraordinary! Should he go check it out sometime?
Despite her doubts, Huapi still dutifully delivered some of the restaurant's ingredients to the bus.
