The spring breeze was not dry, and the gentle wind was just right.
Lan lay on the soft wool bed, with the faint sound of flowing water in her ears.
She felt as if she hadn't slept so comfortably in a long ti.
She dreamt of herself lying carefree on the ground during an afternoon in her childhood, when suddenly, a purple door-sized blade and a pair of scarlet eyes tore through her dream.
"Ah…"
She sat up abruptly, gasping for air, her forehead covered in a cold sweat.
Due to dehydration, every breath felt like knives scraping her throat.
"You're awake…"
At this mont, a man's voice sounded.
She looked towards the voice and saw a person sitting by a pool, holding a strange fishing rod and fishing.
"Where is this? Who are you?"
Her voice was hoarse, and the pain made her eyebrows furrow.
"? My na is Yang Tao, madam.
This is my Minecraft.
It's a pleasure to et you."
Yang Tao reeled in his fishing rod and walked over to the woman, looking down at her.
To be fair, her figure was indeed good, especially when wrapped in yoga clothes.
"You… your Minecraft?"
"That's right, but before we chat, you can introduce yourself, such as your na, age, gender, where you're from, and so on…"
Lan's expression froze slightly as she said, "My na is Lan…"
"Did you save ? What was that black monster before?"
Upon hearing her na, Yang Tao exclaid, "That's a good na; it sounds like a female lead."
Get rid of her! Must get rid of her!
That na, keeping her around would only cause trouble.
"You said you encountered a black monster?"
Yang Tao didn't know about her experience, nor was he interested in knowing it.
Today, it seed only one Entity, the Bacteria, was exchanged for energy points.
"What you're talking about is a Bacteria.
It's considered one of the weaker monsters in the Backrooms.
Don't worry, it will at most only kill people."
"At most"? "Only"?
The image of that Bacteria rushing towards her flashed in Lan's mind, and she slowly ford a question mark.
As he spoke, Yang Tao walked to the Seared Furnace, opened the interface, and took out so grilled fish, putting them into his backpack.
This was the main product of his fishing.
Enchanted books were available but scarce.
Besides fish, there were mostly fishing rods, fishing rods with various attributes…
Yang Tao took a grilled fish and sat directly on the Seared Furnace, carefully eating it.
Although he didn't add any seasoning, the grilled fish was truly flavorful and delicious.
However, on second thought, from being caught to being cooked, the total ti exposed to the air was no more than five seconds.
If it wasn't fresh, that would be truly strange.
"Later, I'll take you to Level 1 to find the M.E.G. people and hand you over to them."
"Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you.
I'll send you back to where I found you."
Lan looked at the grilled fish in Yang Tao's hand.
Though her mouth had been dry, saliva miraculously began to secrete again, but her good upbringing prevented her from opening her mouth to ask for it.
"What is M.E.G.?"
Yang Tao took out a docunt from his backpack and threw it to Lan:
"This is an introduction to M.E.G. and the Backrooms.
You can read it yourself."
Lan caught the docunt.
The logo on it was a soaring eagle, but this eagle had no head, only a cube.
Below it was the organization's na.
[M.E.G. Explorers Group]
Grumble…
Before she could even flip through it, her stomach rumbled restlessly, and waves of hunger assailed her nerves.
Yang Tao looked at Lan with a half-smile and said, "Hungry?"
"Mm."
Lan was clearly a bit embarrassed, her face turning slightly red.
"Oh… you'll get used to it if you just endure it."
Lan: "…"
Fortunately, her upbringing was good, otherwise, she really couldn't help but curse out loud.
And Yang Tao, seeing Lan's constipated expression, suddenly burst out laughing, then took a bottle of Almond water from his backpack, walked to her side, handed it to her, and said:
"I've been here for a while, and sotis so mischievous thoughts pop into my head.
This is Almond water, also considered one of the important supplies in the Backrooms.
The docunt I gave you has an introduction about it."
"You must rember, to survive in the Backrooms, you must observe and differentiate carefully.
Never be as unconventional as , otherwise, even death might be a luxury for you."
Lan didn't persist.
She was truly at her wit's end now.
She reached out and took the Almond water Yang Tao handed her, and thanked him.
Yang Tao just smiled, watching Lan drink all the Almond water.
The nutrients and ample water contained in the Almond water made Lan feel like she had co back to life.
"Just give the bottle."
The bottle could be thrown into the Seared Furnace to be slted into Iron.
Save where you can, spend where you must.
Yang Tao reached out and took the bottle, which resembled a thermos, and said:
"Let's go, we can set off now.
You can ask any questions on the way."
Lan could tell that Yang Tao didn't seem to welco her staying there.
She couldn't do anything about it, but as long as there were people around, it was better than being in that strange space before.
She stood up and followed behind Yang Tao.
Only then did she have ti to survey her surroundings.
Everything around seed to be made of blocks.
In the distance, there was a Villagers, and she could see so figures working in the fields, as well as so peculiar, perfectly square creatures scurrying around, not knowing what they were doing.
Soon, her pupils contracted sharply, because she saw the familiar 'door-sized blade' and the owner of those scarlet eyes.
"What… what is that?"
"Hmm, Iron Golems are considered the guardians of the Villagers.
They have very good tempers, and sotis they even give you poppies…"
Of course, provided you are not their enemy.
Otherwise, they will let you know what a body of steel feels like.
Arriving at the wooden door leading to Level 1, Lan glanced at the sign on the wooden door, then Yang Tao opened the wooden door, revealing the scene of Level 1's 'Abandoned Warehouse'.
The fog was clearly behind, but opening the door revealed an indoor scene, which surprised her greatly.
"This is Level 1, considered a relatively suitable place for survival.
The only trouble is that the space is not very stable, and it's easy to run into other levels."
Closing the wooden door, Yang Tao directly took out a small sightseeing car from his backpack, the kind that could only accommodate two people.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Yang Tao patted the passenger seat, a smile on his face, and said, "Get in quickly."
Lan: "…"
She now felt that her perception seed to be experiencing issues.
The man in front of her was full of mysteries.
