"Too fast, this can't go on, this can't go on," the Driver muttered, the black mist around him actually starting to fade.
In a short while, the Driver's figure became clear.
He was a terrifying individual, covered in gaps all over his body, as if he had been bitten.
As the black mist around the Driver dissipated, it grew colder inside the carriage, and even the floor was covered in a thick layer of sticky, blood-red fluid.
Walking on it had a stringy effect.
"Driver," Mu Rufeng sized up the Driver.
Facing this terrifying Driver, Mu Rufeng felt nothing.
The fearlessness granted by the Zombie Template was truly practical in this bizarre instance.
If it were the old Mu Rufeng, he would have been trembling uncontrollably.
The changes in the surrounding environment also did not affect Mu Rufeng.
Even with the stringy effect underfoot, Mu Rufeng's speed did not falter one bit.
"How could this happen, how could this happen?" Seeing Mu Rufeng unaffected, the Driver became very anxious.
The Driver immediately caught up to Mu Rufeng's pace.
However, at the tail of the carriage, the Driver's steps came to a halt.
Clearly, the Driver could not leave the carriage, or rather, could not leave the vicinity of the truck.
Before long, Mu Rufeng entered the carriage, dragging a forklift and an empty pallet.
"Huh? Driver Bro, why are you still here?" Mu Rufeng said.
The Driver didn't reply, keeping his head down, lost in thought.
Mu Rufeng shrugged, ignoring him, and went to the cargo to continue unloading.
"It's sticky, still a bit uncomfortable, let's just finish unloading quickly."
Mu Rufeng was indeed affected by the sticky blood on the floor.
However, this discomfort actually sped up Mu Rufeng's unloading process.
After stacking the goods and wrapping them with film, just as he was about to pull them out, he saw the Driver walking over again.
This time, the black mist around the Driver was very faint, and his terrifying body was exceptionally clear.
The bite marks on him now began to ooze a dark red liquid.
Accompanying this was a foul odor that made Mu Rufeng's nose uncomfortable.
"Driver Bro, what's up again?" Mu Rufeng stopped and asked.
"Here you go." The Driver extended his right hand, missing two fingers, and handed over a piece of paper.
Mu Rufeng, bold and skilled, reached out and took it.
[Ten Soul Coins]: The common currency in the instance world, valued at ten yuan.
"Huh? Is this... money? No, Driver Bro, why are you giving me money?" Mu Rufeng asked in surprise.
"You're unloading too fast, can you slow down a bit?" the Driver said.
"Uh, slow down?"
"Yes, slow down."
"Sorry, Driver Bro, this is my job. Please take this money back."
"I need to work." Mu Rufeng returned the ten-yuan bill to the Driver and prepared to continue working.
Seeing this, the Driver seemed to panic and grabbed Mu Rufeng's arm.
"Take it, all of it, I'll give you all the money I have. Can you just unload slower? At the very least, don't finish unloading in less than an hour."
As he spoke, the Driver took out a few more bills and stuffed them into Mu Rufeng's hand.
There were four in total, each worth ten yuan.
Adding the previous ten, it totaled fifty yuan.
"Ah, why do you want me to unload slower?" Mu Rufeng asked, confused.
Based on his understanding of the Loader's code, unloading should be as fast as possible.
"Fifty yuan, and don't finish unloading in less than an hour. Consider it a favor I owe you," the Driver said.
"Uh, alright. Alright." Mu Rufeng took the bills and agreed.
Soul Coins were the common currency in the instance world, and they would likely be very useful.
"Thank you, thank you," a slight fluctuation appeared on the Driver's expressionless face.
Immediately, he released Mu Rufeng's arm, and his figure was slowly enveloped by the black mist before disappearing.
"A bit creepy, but thankfully, I'm not scared," Mu Rufeng chuckled, putting away the bills.
Then, he glanced at his arm, where the Driver had grabbed him earlier, leaving some black marks. However, within seconds, the black marks vanished.
No, it shouldn't be said that they disappeared, it seems they were absorbed by his body?
Mu Rufeng didn't pay too much attention. After dragging out this pallet of goods and placing it properly, Mu Rufeng, with a fork for an empty pallet, entered the carriage again.
He surveyed the goods inside and roughly estimated that there were only two or three more pallets left to unload.
He took out his phone from his pocket.
When he entered, the phone had no signal, but it was still fine for checking the time.
Although he didn't know what time it was here, the phone displayed 8:02.
He finished unloading at 7:00, went to the cafeteria to eat, and entered this strange instance world at 7:15.
Calculated, he had only spent about thirty-two minutes unloading.
For a loader, the unloading time for a truck should not exceed two hours.
And for the driver, the unloading time cannot be less than one hour.
So, Mu Rufeng still had plenty of time.
After thinking about it, Mu Rufeng decided it was better to be on the safe side.
He planned to unload most of the remaining goods, leaving only the last small portion.
This way, even if there were any problems, he could quickly finish unloading the rest of the goods.
No sooner said than done, Mu Rufeng quickly began stacking the goods.
In a short time, a pallet of goods was stacked.
Another seven or eight minutes passed.
Mu Rufeng finished stacking the last full pallet of goods. Inside the carriage, only ten items remained.
As he was wrapping them with stretch film and preparing to move them, he saw Driver Chang Feng appear again.
"You... you're not keeping your word?" a sharp cry erupted from Chang Feng.
Mu Rufeng found it a bit jarring. He rubbed his ear and said, "Driver Bro, aren't there still ten items here?"
"Later, I'll slack off a bit outside and sneak some rest, and I definitely won't make things difficult for you."
The driver didn't speak, staring intently at Mu Rufeng. Finally, he slowly nodded.
"By the way, Driver Bro, do you know what this place is?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
Upon hearing this, the driver replied, "This is Scarlet Preferred."
"...Of course, I know this is Scarlet Preferred. I'm asking why I appeared here?" Mu Rufeng said speechlessly.
Upon hearing this, the driver did not answer. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'm just a driver who delivers goods."
Mu Rufeng wasn't an idiot. The fact that the guy hesitated proved that he did know.
It has been signed. Everyone can cast their monthly votes and give rewards.
