Blood-red eyes widened to their limits, yet the dark mist remained unpenetrable.
Still, Su Chen wasn't completely blind; there was a minimal level of visibility.
Less than ten minutes remained of his protection period.
He could sense that something terrifying within the mist had discovered him.
Following the route etched in his memory, he began to sprint.
If he didn't act boldly now, within the protection period, he'd never get the chance again.
"Found it," Su Chen's sharp eyes spotted an abandoned SUV.
Without a word, he rushed over and yanked open the door.
He stripped the clothes off a mummified corpse in the backseat and tossed them into his backpack.
The mummy was utterly bewildered.
Who knew a living person would suddenly emerge from the darkness and start stripping its clothes without warning?
After stripping the clothes, Su Chen turned and ran.
The mummy was left momentarily dazed.
It was all so sudden.
Regaining its composure, it glanced at its remaining underwear and let out a terrifying growl, crawling into the darkness and disappearing at an incredible speed.
The living person wasn't particularly harmful, but incredibly insulting.
"Got it. Next is Red Bell's right hand."Su Chen muttered himself.
"Swiftness," Su Chen muttered as he activated the skill.
As the darkness churned, his actions had undoubtedly provoked the mummy.
Moreover, they attracted numerous unknown horrors lurking in the darkness.
"The protection period has five minutes left; it should be enough."Su Chen thought.
In reality, Su Chen could turn and run towards the elevator right now.
Without Red Bell's right hand, she wouldn't blame him.
But since he had promised Red Bell, Su Chen intended to fulfill it.
After all, if Red Bell grew stronger, his own safety would be enhanced too.
Her right hand was dropped near Building 2.
Turning back, Su Chen saw the mummy crawling extremely fast.
It was a mummy wearing underwear, creating a bizarre scene.
Out of the corner of his eye, Su Chen saw hands reaching out from the darkness and dark hair floating above.
"It's too late to run to the elevator door." Only three minutes of protection remained.
He could get Red Bell's right hand but didn't have time to run to the elevator door.
Determined, Su Chen gritted his teeth and roared, "Red Bell, I've got your right hand."
"Pull me into the elevator, quickly!"
As he shouted, he continued to sprint.
He could already see Red Bell's right hand lying in a pool of blood.
With a leap, Su Chen grabbed Red Bell's right hand and was immediately grabbed by seven or eight arms.
Dense, dark hair fell before his eyes.
The wet hair tried to seep into Su Chen's orifices.
The mummy wearing underwear also grasped Su Chen's foot and tugged at his pants with all its might.
Ghosts surrounded him from all sides.
The terror of the negative first floor made Su Chen grit his teeth.
He could only pin his hopes on Red Bell.
Red Bell had already obtained her head, greatly enhancing her strength, and should be able to pull him out.
Blood surged forth, turning into waves that struck the darkness.
Through the gaps in the arms, Su Chen could see numerous corpses floating in the blood waves.
The corpses roared and struggled within the waves.
Red Bell had already engaged with the ghosts on the negative first floor.
This place was indeed terrifying, even Red Bell faced significant obstacles with her strength.
Only one minute of protection remained.
Su Chen was completely enveloped by darkness, leaving only one red eye.
His eyes stared intently at the approaching blood.
The blood surged forward and engaged with the unknown dark hair, struggling to pull Su Chen out for half a day.
However, it still gave Su Chen enough mobility to struggle.
Summoning all his strength, he threw the tightly held right hand into the blood.
Indeed, once the right hand entered the blood, it churned wildly.
A massive wave of blood directly dispersed the darkness surrounding Su Chen.
Then, a powerful tearing force enveloped Su Chen, quickly pulling him.
Su Chen could clearly see the ghouls mixed with the darkness surging towards him.
"Red Bell, help me block them."Su Chen shouted.
Returning near the iron gate, Su Chen slammed it shut.
A loud banging sound echoed.
He couldn't stop it, but Red Bell could.
While Red Bell blocked the door, Su Chen locked the iron gate at an incredible speed.
He collapsed to the ground and sighed in relief. The protection period ended completely at this moment.
Extremely urgent, a narrow escape from death, yet all objectives were achieved.
"Let's go, take me back to the third floor."
With Red Bell's right hand once again in her possession, her expression towards Su Chen became even kinder.
However, kindness was mixed with shock.
She was already shocked by the first two ghosts, and she didn't expect that for the third time, Su Chen would bring a group of ghosts.
Especially the mummy wearing underwear, its hatred for Su Chen was astonishing, and it desperately tried to pull down Su Chen's pants.
He didn't know what Su Chen had done to it.
"I'll think of a way to get your other body parts."
"For today, that's enough."
Red Bell nodded. She could see that Su Chen was exhausted, almost in a state of collapse.
After returning to Room 302, Su Chen lay on the bed, his whole body trembling slightly.
With the help of the three-hour newbie protection period, he had given it his all.
But the result was excellent; it was truly a perfect day and a perfect start.
Looking at his current player profile, it was indeed much richer.
[Player: Su Chen]
[Level: 6]
[Experience: 300]
[Strength: 11]
[Agility: 23]
[Constitution: 11]
[Ghost Coins: 8]
[Free Attribute Points: 3]
[Organ: Blood Eye]
[Equipment: Cursed Kitchen Knife, Human Skin Trench Coat, Clerk Uniform]
[Skill: Quick Speed]
This was Su Chen's answer after three hours of desperate effort, and he was very satisfied.
"I leveled up again."
"It should be the experience from the Wish Ghost's E-rank mission."
He had been too hasty to go to the negative first floor and hadn't paid attention to the E-rank mission of the Wish Ghost's hatred.
After a brief thought, he added all his free attribute points to agility.
Given the current situation, fighting ghosts was unrealistic.
He only needed to run fast for now, especially with Red Bell as a super enforcer.
"Clerk Uniform." Su Chen smiled.
This was the most important reason for his trip to the negative first floor.
A blue clerk uniform appeared before Su Chen.
[Name: Clerk Uniform]
[Quality: E]
[Type: Equipment]
[Special Effect: Wearing it into the Xin'an Community Store will have unexpected effects]
Don't underestimate its low quality.
But to obtain it, Su Chen had gone through great lengths.
"Convenience Store." Su Chen murmured.
The Convenience Store was the store within Xin'an Community.
Wearing this uniform, he could attend an interview at the store.
If he passed the interview, he could become a permanent employee of the store.
Once he became a permanent employee, the residents of Xin'an Community, out of respect for the boss, wouldn't cause too much trouble for Su Chen.
This was also a crucial item for survival, related to Su Chen's status in Xin'an Community.
Now he needed a good night's sleep to recharge and go for the interview tomorrow.
