Level !
A thick smell of blood permeated the red-lit corridor, and the alarm sounded shrill at this moment.
Several blood-red Phantom Swords circled Yang Tao, spinning like a windmill. The mentally disturbed Entities in Level ! would collapse to the ground, lifeless, upon touching the blood-colored Phantom Swords.
Yang Tao expressionlessly swung the Yamato in his hand, moving so fast that the blade itself was invisible.
'Dimensional Slash…'
He raised the Yamato and lightly tapped it towards the area where Entities were gathered in the hallway. A sphere of blade energy appeared out of thin air, and a powerful suction emanated from the blue sphere.
Some smaller Entities nearby were sucked in, and the blade energy surrounding the Dimensional Slash instantly obliterated them.
Behind Yang Tao, there were corpses everywhere, with various Entities lying on the ground.
'The speed at which Entities are appearing has slowed down…'
Initially, the Entities surged out of the iron door like a tide, endless, almost comparable to a Nether Portal with an Acceleration Torch.
But now, it was like a middle-aged man with an overactive bladder, only a few could be squeezed out sporadically…
He effortlessly cut an eight-legged spider that charged at him in half and blocked an attack from a juvenile Faceling.
This was Yang Tao's first time seeing these juvenile Facelings. They looked similar to the small Entities wandering in the Bloody Forest on Level 14, except they had no facial features.
Their speed was extremely fast, and they liked to attack from Yang Tao's blind spots. However, the difference in strength between them was too great; Yang Tao, being faster, always counter-killed them without taking any damage.
Yang Tao hadn't kept track of time. He didn't know how long he had been killing, but the area behind him, as far as the eye could see, was piled high with the corpses of Entities.
After he had killed another hundred or so Entities, the piercing alarm suddenly disappeared, and no more Entities emerged from the rooms on either side of the hallway.
"It's over…"
He sheathed the Yamato.
A smile appeared on Yang Tao's face: "I thought it was an infinite spawn…"
He reached out and picked up the Entities on the ground, putting them into his backpack.
[Energy Value + 96]
Energy Value didn't care if the Entities had mental problems; it only estimated their value and converted it.
Yang Tao returned along the initial path. He looked into the open rooms, which were pitch black inside. He took out a Night Vision Potion and drank it before he could see the environment clearly.
The room was very spacious, similar to a large ward in a regular hospital, but there were no beds, no cabinets, and not even windows.
Yang Tao was slightly disappointed.
He returned along the original path, and any Entity that came into contact with him was collected into his backpack and converted into experience points. He also didn't let go of the furniture scattered in the hallway.
After all, every little bit helps.
Energy Value + 66
Energy Value + 75
Energy Value + 105
...
It took Yang Tao at least an hour to return to the starting point.
Although the hallway looked the same, further ahead, there was no longer the scene of corpses strewn everywhere.
He picked up the Almond water that appeared on the ground. This substance, rare in other levels, could be found on the floor, hospital beds, and even randomly placed cabinets in Level !.
Not only Almond water, but also various other foods, supplies, and even several bottles of different colored [lucky soy milk] that Yang Tao had just picked up.
Level ! had a lot of supplies, provided you could pick them up and drink them while being chased by Entities.
lucky soy milk was an excellent substitute for Almond water.
Because a very small number of people are allergic to almonds, of course, this group is small, and most allergic people have died in the levels.
Before you came to the Backrooms, you said you were allergic to almonds; I didn't question you. But after you came to the Backrooms, you told me you were allergic to almonds?
As for those allergic to both almonds and soy… just wait to die, there's no saving them.
Each color of lucky soy milk had a different effect, and the glass bottle with a yellow label was the most special. It could make the drinker either 'lucky' or 'unlucky'.
The warmer it was when drunk, the 'luckier' it would make you; the colder it was, the 'unluckier' it would make you.
Unfortunately, Yang Tao did not get the yellow-labeled lucky soy milk.
Bang bang…
Although the alarm in the hallway had disappeared, strange knocking sounds were still ringing.
Yang Tao walked towards the front of the hallway, carrying a shotgun. After approaching a closed door.
With a bang, the door was burst open by several large hands, and a Clump, stuck inside the room, was desperately reaching out to grab him.
Bang…
Yang Tao, who was prepared, immediately pulled the trigger.
This was also one of the traps on the 'Great Escape' path. In this corridor, which required running 10 kilometers, various obstacles and traps would appear. Only by overcoming these small difficulties would one reach the end of the hallway.
He walked to the edge of the room and collected the oversized Clump's corpse into his backpack.
[Energy Value + 170]
"This day, I only earned some money for opening doors…"
He shook his head and casually put the hospital bed lying on the path into his backpack, converting it into Energy Value.
[Energy Value + 5]
Time passed.
After spending half a day, Yang Tao arrived at the end of the hallway. There was only a metal door with a 'Safety Exit' sign.
This was one of the ways to leave Level !, and also the simplest way.
Yang Tao looked back at the red-lit corridor. The hallway was clean as new, with not even a crumpled piece of paper on the ground.
"Level Exclamation Mark should have many such corridors. I wonder how to connect them…"
It has been confirmed that Wanderers can enter Level ! simultaneously, but Wanderers will not encounter each other within this level.
This indicates that there is not just one corridor.
Level ! is truly suitable for grinding Energy Value and drawing swords.
Even if you don't move, the Entities can be fully automated.
He was unwilling to leave like this…
But currently, there was no better way, so he could only look at the safety door in front of him.
He reached out and gently pushed the metal door, which opened readily. Behind the door was a misty grassland, where an old yellow cow was leisurely strolling.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, it looked up.
One person and one cow stared at each other quietly for more than ten seconds.
White neutral health bar.
A high health of 50,000 proved its extraordinary nature.
Yang Tao walked out of Level ! and onto this grassland. Gentle piano music echoed in this space, giving a feeling of extreme relaxation.
The cow showed no fear or panic when it saw Yang Tao; it continued to stare at him, chewing incessantly.
He took out his exploration terminal from his backpack.
Unfortunately, there was no wireless signal in this level.
He looked around, and everywhere was a faint mist, making it impossible to see what was in the distance.
"Brother Cow, may I ask where this is?"
