Chapter 73 Exploring the Tower
In order to enhance the sense of immersion, Detective Brother always uses the first-person perspective when playing games.

At this moment, he turned on the flashlight on his chest, slightly dispelling the darkness.

Under the gaze of a group of NPCs, he walked towards the tower gate step by step.

The darkness inside the door was intimidating.

The heavy rain outside the door fueled the fear.

While watching the comments in the live broadcast room, the detective brother stepped into the door cautiously.

After stepping in, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed like a difficult task had been completed.

At this moment, he was completely wrapped in darkness, with only the light in his hand and the night outside the door providing light.

Inside the tower, garbage was piled up and wood and stones were scattered all over the ground.

After waiting for a few seconds, he couldn't help but speak.

"It seems nothing happened."

"It looks like there's nothing wrong here. We need to go upstairs and take a look."

"Brothers, let's go and see the mysterious tower of Harlan City!"

There was a sudden cheer in the live broadcast room.

Gifts are pouring in and comments are dense.

At this moment, he took out his homemade iron spear, and looked around under the light of the flashlight on his chest. He found that this layer was full of gravel and debris, and several passages were blocked.

There was only a pile of rubble that allowed him to get upstairs.

So, holding an iron spear, he walked along the pile of stones and came to, uh, the first floor?
At least that's what the writing is on the wall.

This floor looks much cleaner than the rubble downstairs.

And there are obvious signs of cargo placement.

The shelves, tables, chairs, etc. were all rotten and dusty.

Apparently someone had sold something here before.

"Why don't I see any zombies? Were they all led away by that homeless NPC?"

While the detective was puzzled, suddenly, his radio rang.

This is a communication tool that every player can get at the beginning of the game, as long as they join Firefly or the military forces.

In the dimness, Bracken's voice rang out.

[Wanderer, you have entered the tower. Have you seen any trace of Sebastian?]
[No. ]
The protagonist answered calmly.

[But I've reached the first floor. There are some shelves, tables and chairs here, but I haven't seen any zombies yet.]
On the radio, Bracken listened and returned.

[I see. The shelves and tables and chairs in front of you are where we stored disaster relief supplies and equipment 20 years ago.]
[There, a quartermaster used to be in charge of distribution.]
[But that's all in the past, Wanderer, be careful. The tower is now beyond our understanding.]
[The reason I left was because of a woman...]
[A woman?] The protagonist asked in a puzzled tone.

[Yes, a woman named Kidman... 20 years ago, my partner Crane rescued her... brought her to the Tower, and then... never mind.]
[Anyway, we'll be there to meet you at the door anytime. If you have any questions, call us immediately.]
Damn it, don't stop, keep talking!

The production team of Damn Dog Day.

The detective cursed.

It seems that the reason why the tower is deserted has nothing to do with zombies.

Instead, a woman named Kidman appeared...

What happened to the tower 20 years ago, and why did Bracken say it was beyond understanding?
What is in this tower?

MMP, as a former tower leader, can’t you just say it directly?

Scratching his head, the detective held the spear in both hands and carefully explored the first floor.

Apart from a broken elevator and garbage all over the floor, there wasn't a single zombie to be found.

So I came to the stairs and planned to go up to the second floor to take a look.

As a result, a note was found on the turning platform of the stairs!
This made the detective's eyes light up, and he immediately picked it up as if he had found a treasure.

After all, as a UP host who analyzes the plot, these things are important clues and the key to the hidden plot.

At this moment, the contents of the note appeared on the screen.

When I looked closely, I saw that the hole was actually left by Sebastian!

He immediately began to read it carefully.

—Sebastian's Diary Fragment #1
(Time unknown)
The moment I emerged from the lighthouse, I thought everything was over.

But look at it now, the collapse of order, the similar monsters, the helpless crowds.

It's exactly the same as before, the only difference is that there is no lighthouse.

So...I haven't been out this whole time?
No matter how many people sacrificed, no matter how hard they tried, could they not escape in the end?
Everyone says this is reality, maybe...

The detective read it twice carefully.

To be honest, he really didn't understand what the lighthouse was and why it hadn't come out yet?
However, if we interpret it literally, we can only vaguely guess that the homeless man seems to have experienced this kind of doomsday?

"Well, this homeless man must have struggled when the virus first broke out 20 years ago, and then he slowly lost hope?"

"After entering the tower, I became crazy and only became normal at night."

"But judging from his skills, he must have practiced before."

The detective guessed, but since there was not much information, he put away the remaining pages of the diary and continued upstairs to the second floor.

The first thing that catches your eye is the open room 200.

There was a skeleton in a dress lying at the door. It was deep and dark inside, the ground around it was a mess and dead silent.

There was no movement of any zombies.

"There are no zombies here either?"

"Could it be hiding in some corner, waiting to scare me?"

"It's better for the hidden things to come out on their own initiative."

As he spoke, the detective pressed the attack button towards the wall, and the protagonist immediately stabbed at the wall.

The sound echoed and faded away, and there was no movement around.

So he poked the wall a few more times, faster and faster, and the noise became louder and louder.

If it were the big world, the zombies would have been attracted here long ago.

But here?
Still no zombies came out.

That’s strange, are they all running upstairs?
In front of the screen, he scratched his head and controlled the character to explore the second floor.

The corridor was littered with corpses.

Some are complete, some are scattered.

The entire second floor looked like a massacre had occurred there, with only corpses left to testify to the brutality of the time.

After exploration, he had a clear understanding of the layout of the tower.

The floor is designed in the shape of a Chinese character "回".

The inner entrance is where the elevator is located.

The outside entrance is where the rooms are distributed.

There are seven rooms on each floor, three on the left, three on the right, and one on the top. The rooms are numbered from 200 to 206.

And every room can be entered, which is a good job done by the production team, but the things that can be taken are pitifully few.

"My goodness, if this tower is enlarged in the map, there must be at least 10 Night Demons crammed in, right?"

After exploring the second floor, the detective went straight to the third floor.

To his surprise, he found the remaining pages of the homeless man's diary on the stairs, and he quickly picked them up to check.

—Sebastian's Diary Fragment #4
The people in the camp seem to be very afraid of the tower. It is rumored that there is some kind of mysterious power in it?

Sure enough, I still couldn’t leave STEM.

The blockade of the Firefly soldiers was more like a protective act, and I could vaguely sense the existence of Mobius behind it.
Maybe we should go into the tower and take a look.

As for the mysterious power?

I've been through enough.
-
When the detective saw this document, he looked a little confused.

What is STEM?

What is Mobius?
I've gotten to 70% of the story, but it feels like there's still a lot I don't know.

Is this the reason why Star Games said the main storyline of version 1.0 is not finished?
And this mysterious power, is it the kind of supernatural power that I understand?

Looking at the document, the detective in front of the screen rubbed his jaw.

After reading the whole article, the suspense veil of the tower is getting thicker and thicker.

This homeless man is becoming more and more curious.

Collect the documents and go up to the 3rd floor.

This floor is the same as the second floor except that there are still corpses on the ground.

All rooms are accessible and have different furnishings and layouts.

So he went straight up to the 4th floor.

As a result, just as I reached the turning platform of the stairs, I heard a sudden sound of banging on the door from upstairs.

Along with it was the hoarse wails of the zombies.

"Fuck, there are finally zombies!"

The detective suddenly became serious.

He is quite cautious about zombies.

I have completed more than 60 missions along the way, and have killed hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of zombies.

And also got an achievement: [Hundred Corpses Slash].

He doesn't like direct confrontation, so he plays stealth style, so he chooses the level 1 stealth skill [Stealth Man] and the level 1 stealth damage skill [Slitthroat Sharp Hands].

The former is that after crouching, the movement speed increases, the noise decreases, and the enemy is less likely to notice.

The latter is a 50% increase in stealth damage.

Therefore, unless he suddenly encountered zombies head-on in a small space, in most cases, they would be stabbed through by his iron spear.

Stealth assassination is so much fun.

So he squatted down and sneaked around, following the sound.

Since he already knew the floor layout, he quickly saw a zombie smashing the door of room 404.

"There shouldn't be any other zombies."

He looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there were no other zombies, he sneaked up behind the zombie with an iron spear.

Aim for the head and poke it hard!
Snapped--

The watermelon burst, blood splattered all over the wall, and the zombies fell to the ground helplessly.

It feels so good to poke the flesh!

"Hahahahaha."

After killing this zombie, he prepared to explore the third floor.

As a result, a piece of paper suddenly slipped out from the door gap of Room 404, which made him unable to move.

"Fuck, is there someone inside!?"

"Is it a tramp?"

He quickly picked it up and took a closer look.

　Today's two chapters count as yesterday's, and they were delayed until now because of rewriting. I will write today's chapter right away.
