Wanjie: Starting from the Back Room

The corpse of the ‘wire drawer’ was not of much use to him, after all, he was Steve, not a scientist.

“I don’t know what this thing smells like…”

Just as he smacked his lips, he heard footsteps behind him, and he looked back and found Eric walking towards him.

“…”

The door disappeared.

“You shouldn’t have come out…”

Eric looked at Yang Tao with some confusion and asked: “Why?”

Pointing at the yellow wall behind him, Eric looked back and couldn’t help shrinking his pupils, and found that the place where the wooden door should have been turned into a smooth yellow wall again.

“The door… the door disappeared.”

Yang Tao didn’t care about it. For him, the space he was in before was not as good as this Level 0. There was a ‘wire drawer’ in it before, and maybe he could meet a ‘blunt man’.

“It disappears, so why do you still have feelings for it after staying there for a while?”

Take out the stone pick from the backpack and walk to the yellow wall, aiming at the wall and knocking gently, the sound of dong dong dong echoed in this maze-like space.

Eric did not forget his duty. Seeing Yang Tao's strange behavior, he stepped forward and asked: "What do you want to do? Do you need my help?"

"No, just follow me. Just chat with me when you have time."

Level 0 belongs to the extreme threshold space.

Witnessing or breaking into the threshold space is such an experience. At the critical point of familiarity and unfamiliarity, it stimulates our anxiety and makes you realize that you don't seem to be supposed to enter this field. They shouldn't exist, and they don't welcome us.

Another thing is that theoretically in Level 0, wanderers will not meet other wanderers.

If Yang Tao loses Eric or loses himself, they will hardly have a chance to meet again.

"You'd better stay closer to me. If you are suddenly cut to another level... then I can only wish you good luck."

Eric nodded gently. He felt that Yang Tao seemed to know a lot of things. His mission was to explore this strange space. Maybe it was a good choice to follow this harmless existence in front of him.

Cracks appeared on the wall as the stone pick knocked.

A few seconds later.

With a slight bang, a 1m x 1m gap appeared on the originally intact wall.

[Ordinary wall]

[Value 1 energy]

Picked up the fallen block, Yang Tao looked at the prompt on the block with some surprise.

"What does this value 1 mean? Equivalent exchange?"

However, when he was confused, a new prompt appeared again.

[Energy value can be used to repair tools, return to the 'main world', exchange for one-time portal keys, upgrade the main world, etc. ]

"Return to the main world?"

As his murmur sounded, a prompt sound appeared in his mind.

[Energy value is insufficient, do you want to recharge? ]

The full taste of the krypton gold legend of Yidao Jiujiujiu made him a little unacceptable for a while.

He glanced at the [Ordinary Wall] in his hand and silently said to recharge, and the next moment the block in his hand disappeared.

[Energy value 1]

[Repair tool 1 energy value/20 durability points]

[Open portal 10 energy value]

[Exchange one-time portal key 15 energy value]

[Upgrading the main world requires 10,000 energy value]

"The main world, that is, the small space I was in before? Can it be transformed into the real main world as it is upgraded?"

Yang Tao looked at the walls covered with yellow wallpaper again. He originally thought that he would get visual fatigue after looking at it too much, but suddenly found that these were not walls, but "money"!

In an instant, even the smell of corruption in the air became fresh.

Dongdongdong...

Yang Tao waved the stone pick in his hand tirelessly and knocked on the wall, exchanging the fallen blocks for energy value.

Eric looked at Yang Tao who was inexplicably excited, and was a little confused for a while. He silently took out a notebook and a pen from his protective suit and quickly recorded on it.

[Unknown humanoid creature, no number yet]

[Appearance of a human male of Asian 23 or 24, able to communicate normally, mentally stable (to be determined)]

[Possessing special communication and spatial abilities, able to take out some special stone swords, stone axes, stone pickaxes at any time.]

[Able to use the corresponding tools to complete attacks and destruction]

[Easily kill a monster]

[Others need to be added...]

As time passed, Eric felt that the sound of electricity in his ears became louder and louder, which made him feel inexplicably irritated.

However, the thumping sound produced by Yang Tao knocking on the wall did relieve his gradually depressed mood a little..

Gurgle…

He felt hungry again. If it weren't for this accident, he should have returned to the base to enjoy food and rest.

"Hungry?"

Eric came back to his senses and looked at Yang Tao who stood in front of him at some point.

"I haven't eaten for a long time. I was really exhausted by being chased by this damn monster before."

"By the way, did you hear someone talking?"

Yang Tao sighed.

Because in his sight, Eric's current state is very wrong. His face is pale without a trace of blood, but his eyes are just the opposite. The eyeballs that originally had only a few bloodshot veins have now become red.

In addition, he just said that he heard someone say that, which means that his SAN value is constantly decreasing due to the influence of the [Back Room].

SAN is the so-called mental power or reason. When the San value drops to 0, people will go crazy, lose reason, and attract some special monsters.

In the [Back Room], after human reason disappears, they will become a special entity [Sad Corpse].

"Eric, you are not in the right state now, but I don't have any food here. We need to find the entrance to Level 1."

Looking for Level 1 is not just for Eric, but also for himself. He found that the hunger value that had not dropped for a week began to decrease after knocking on a lot of walls.

"Remember, there are only you and me at Level 0, as well as those monsters and entities. Other sounds are illusions."

Yang Tao silently said in his heart: 'Open the portal! '

A wooden door appeared in front of him out of thin air. Yang Tao put his hand on the door handle without hesitation, pushed the door open and said to Eric: "Let's go, let's go back and rest first to relieve your mental state."

Eric now only felt that his head was dizzy, and he even felt that Yang Tao's voice was not clear.

However, when he saw the wooden door, he subconsciously walked into the wooden door. In his subconscious, the wooden door was a safe place.

Just walked in.

Eric felt like he was about to fall asleep and suddenly became extremely awake.

"I...what's wrong with me?"

"Nothing, just affected by the space in the back room."

Yang Tao saw Eric regain consciousness and smiled. It's better for two people to survive in the back room than for one person.

"Rest here and don't move. I'll go out and find you two oranges!"
