Garbage Station

After saying this, Bai Yang pushed the two men out before they could react, picked up a row of knives, and went into the cubicle.

Qin Rang and Tao Yuan were bombarded with this information, and they came out completely bewildered with the medicine.

Tao Yuan looked at the transparent candy in his hand and remembered the first time he met Bai Yang. It was this candy that helped him resist Hearts's mental corruption.

Bai Yang actually gave them four of these top-tier Weird Object at once?

Is it that Bai Yang is generous, or should we say that this organization is so wealthy and powerful that it completely disregards these four Weird Object?

"Although I don't know what this organization is, this Bai Yang is someone worth befriending." Knowing the value of such a thing, Tao Yuan lowered his guard considerably.

Qin Rang smiled but didn't comment, "Luckily, he gave me the medicine, otherwise I would definitely have run into problems eating at home every day."

"He just said the candy was a gift from the pastry chef, so he must be one of their people too." Tao Yuan said thoughtfully, "The code name 'pastry chef' is interesting. Is it similar to Bai Yang's 'Doll Master'?"

He also said that the food in Life Supermarkets is safe... but where are there any Life Supermarkets around here?

They had explored the entire area that morning, from the North Gate to the South Gate to the West Gate, but they had never seen a Life Supermarket.

Around noon, the garbage station opened, and Garbage Trucks came out to collect garbage from Building One to Building One.

The two took the opportunity to sneak into the garbage station, but it was surprisingly clean and empty.

There wasn't a single piece of trash, not even a scrap of waste; the interior was clean, bright, and completely open.

The two sneaked out and bumped into a stranger in front of Building 10.

It was a short, handsome young man wearing an apron, looking around anxiously when he saw them coming out of the garbage dump.

"Qin Rang, Tao Yuan!" The man recognized the two at a glance. The three exchanged a look, and then retreated back to the deserted Garbage Dump to facilitate communication.

"My God, I've finally seen living people!" The young man was almost crying with excitement. He had spent the entire morning dealing with that group of strange creatures before he finally got the chance to leave the house!

"Your attire... you wouldn't have been given the identity of your mother, would you?" Tao Yuan asked with a strange expression.

The man's face twisted in pain. "..."

It seems so.

After some introductions, I learned that the man's name was Liang Xinjin, and he lived in the Mohe Danger Zone. He occasionally ran Weird Instance, but at most he could only handle D-Rank dungeons; C-level Instance were rare.

He wasn't sure what level of Instance this was, but he knew it was definitely not low. He had been on tenterhooks since he entered, afraid of making a single mistake or saying a single wrong word.

"You have no idea how terrifying it was this morning," Liang Xinjin said, his lips trembling with fear. "I live in room 206 of building 7. This morning, the player next door knocked on my door pretending to borrow something, and we chatted for a while at the door."

"But unexpectedly, he said he was going out to pick up a package, and when he came back, something was wrong. When I knocked on the door, it opened, and his body exploded in the whole room, the room was covered in his blood."

"More importantly, I found a piece of paper inside his flesh and blood," Liang Xinjin said, looking at the two of them hesitantly.

Qin Rang narrowed his fox-like eyes, feigning ignorance of his meaning. "What paper?"

"I can show you; this is definitely a very important clue," Liang Xinjin said. "But I have a condition: you must take me with you when you run the Instance."

Tao Yuan's smile vanished, and just as she was about to say something, Qin Rang grabbed her hand and patted it.

"We would have found out sooner or later even without you. Since you trusted us and let us take you out of the Instance, you should know our capabilities."

Qin Rang glanced at the note clutched tightly in his hand and said, "We have a lot of information to exchange, but it's impossible for us to help you through Instance. If you knew us, you'd know that the dangers around us are far greater than those around ordinary people. Can you really guarantee you'll survive around us?"

Liang Xinjin's mind went blank. "Oh right, that seems to be it."

They were always exceptionally unlucky, and he had even mocked them for it.

"Alright then." Liang Xinjin took out the note and said, "If we meet again later, or if you find a way to leave, could you tell me? I owe you the reward, or perhaps there's anything I can do to help."

This request can be granted, since they haven't encountered another player with the identity of a mother yet, and these identities might come in handy.

"Good."

Qin Rang told Liang Xinjin most of the Rules he knew, the most important of which was the information Bai Yang had just given him about the food and Life Supermarket.

Liang Xinjin was shocked. He had just eaten the food he had made, and the Rules told him not to waste food. Since he had made these things, he hadn't thought much of it.

Fortunately, they exchanged information; otherwise, he might have been assimilated without even realizing it. Compared to death, this is the most terrifying thing.

"Actually, I don't quite understand what's written on this paper either. You're all very smart; you should be able to understand it."

Tao Yuan took the paper. He could feel that the paper was thin but smooth. The paper must have been expensive to make and was not an ordinary paper.

The paper was soaked in blood, so the writing on it was a bit blurry, but the words could still be vaguely made out.

[The curly-haired man with a red nose and small eyes suddenly felt a chill run down his spine after receiving the package. On his way home, he kept looking back, as if he saw his teammate, whom he had accidentally killed earlier, following behind him. Terrified, he hid at home, where his teammate tore him to pieces, his blood and flesh splattering the entire room.]

"This..." Tao Yuan asked, "Does your friend look the same as what's written on this sign?"

"Very close, the characteristics are all correct."

"I don't know if I'm right, but this must be some kind of strange manipulation of words," Qin Rang said.

Tao Yuan nodded in agreement. "I had the same thought, and judging from the strength of these Rules, they're no less than A-Rank."

"A-Rank?" Liang Xinjin suddenly raised his voice, "This is A-Rank Instance?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Knowing too much isn't good for you... Someone's coming, shh."

Tao Yuan ducked and hid behind a pillar, Qin Rang quickly found a cardboard box as cover, and Liang Xinjin also hid in a corner.

Although he heard and saw nothing, following the big boss was the right thing to do.

About ten seconds later, the sound of a vehicle moving outside became clearly audible.

The vehicle stopped at the parking lot, and a strong smell of blood hit the air. Tao Yuan silently gagged twice, wrinkled her face, and covered her nose, managing to salvage her tarnished image.

Qin Rang was also overwhelmed by the fumes, but he merely frowned and cautiously shrank back.

Liang Xinjin found it even more unbearable. He felt the urge to gag several times, but forcibly held it back for fear of making a sound. However, the pungent smell made him physiologically want to vomit, so he could only desperately hold it in, writhing and thrashing about like a maggot.

Two strange-looking employees got off the Garbage Truck, chatting idly in thick work clothes. "There's quite a lot of garbage in the first batch today."

Another person laughed and said, "Yeah, we've been busy until now. We'll probably have to go again this afternoon. The neighborhood is going to be lively now."

The Garbage Truck's bed opened, and more than twenty human corpses, each in a different manner, tumbled out.

It turns out that this garbage dump was processing human corpses.

The three men's eyes fixed on a familiar white-haired figure, their smiles freezing.
