Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

With a slight effort, his hand 'drilled' into the wall.

A peculiar sensation came over me, like inserting my hand into soft sand; there was resistance, but not much.

To avoid any accidents, Yang Bo slightly increased his speed, which increased the resistance, but it was still within an acceptable range.

Just as his entire arm was about to disappear into the wall, his outstretched hand suddenly felt empty, and he felt the air flowing through it.

'Did it cut through?'

Yang Bo was overjoyed. His previously uneasy heart relaxed a lot. With the rhythm of the resistance against the wall, he calmly stepped over with one leg.

When he felt a solid sensation under his feet, he took a deep breath and buried his head in the wall. A dozen seconds later, he was completely transported to another level.

He first glanced at his own body.

"Well, no one's missing an arm or a leg, that's lucky!"

Some unlucky people might find that when they are cutting in or out, the entry point suddenly becomes stable, and if they are lucky, they might lose a hand or a leg.

If you're unlucky, it's quite normal to end up with your head and life stuck in the wall.

After making sure he was alright, Yang Bo looked up and observed his surroundings.

What comes into view is an empty warehouse, with fluorescent lights hanging from the top emitting a faint glow.

There are many puddles of varying sizes on the cement ground, giving the impression that this place was once flooded and has just receded.

"As expected, it's a level 1 livable warehouse."

If there is any place suitable for living, then the Level 1 habitable warehouse level is the best choice for homeless people.

99% of homeless people who accidentally stumble into the back room will enter level 0, while more than 90% of homeless people who leave level 0 will reach level 1 habitable warehouse.

In addition, the area has electricity and water, so many homeless people and organizations choose to stick together and survive in Level 1.

A plain brown wooden box was placed against the wall not far away, with no markings on it.

Yang Bo quickly walked towards the crate.

This crate is a supply crate that occasionally appears in the Level 1 Habitable Warehouse. It may contain almond water, canned food, weapons, and other supplies.

The supply crate had rough wooden planks and no lid; you had to pry open the planks to get the contents.

The half-brick he had just put away reappeared in his hand. Yang Bo squatted down and smashed the brick hard against the crate.

Thump…

A strange sound rang out.

Some cracks appeared on the wooden box.

"Ok?"

Yang Bo paused slightly, but quickly recovered and once again picked up the half brick and slammed it against the box.

Thump...thump...bang.

Once the cracks on the wooden crate were fully covered, the crate, which was about the size of a suitcase, shrank to the size of a fist and flew into his backpack, while the contents inside scattered all over the ground.

"Small crates"

"P.S.: It can be used to store items, and has much more storage space than the original chest."

'The crates in the utility expansion module?'

Yang Bo was somewhat surprised, never expecting that an ordinary crate would become a "mini crate" in the Minecraft mod.

I opened my backpack and glanced at the box.

Sure enough, the original light brown wooden box turned into a small dark brown crate. Not only did the color change, but even the shape and material changed.

The relationship between the two is, literally, the character '箱' (box).

"Small in size but large in capacity, it is perfect for storing things in Level 1."

If he doesn't have a definite way to leave the "back room," he plans to stay temporarily in the level 1 habitable warehouse for a while, and then look for a way to go home once he gets used to the situation there.

Compared to other wanderers, he is already far ahead with the Steve template.

He bent down and picked up the things on the ground.

An old-fashioned silver flashlight, a can of corn with a label on it, a dagger, and a blue thermos filled with liquid.

He put the items into his backpack and began to check the descriptions of each item.

"Old-fashioned flashlight"

"P.S.: This flashlight has a vintage feel. It uses a tungsten filament incandescent bulb that emits a yellowish light. It's dim, burns out easily, and is susceptible to shock, but it's very practical."

Canned corn

"Eating this item restores 6 hunger points and increases satiety by 4 points."

P.S.: It doesn't taste good.

"Almond Water - Blue"

"Restores 10 hunger points and increases satiety by 12 points after drinking."

"ps: It is a naturally flavored beverage that is commonly found on many floors in the back room."

It is an essential item for preventing severe dehydration during rear chamber exploration, containing an extremely high moisture content.

The dagger has no attack attributes, only a simple rant.

These seemingly useless notes can sometimes provide useful information.

Chapter 4, Level 1: The Power Outage

'Theoretically, there should be many humans in Level 1, so why haven't I heard a sound all this time?'

Yang Bo carried the red crowbar as he walked through the empty Level 1. The supplies in this level were even more abundant than he had imagined.

The main reason is that he has a backpack; an ordinary homeless person simply wouldn't be able to carry so much stuff.

Even if it has value, there's no way to take it with you.

The passionate beings in the back room will teach every greedy wanderer to make choices.

boom.

As if a short circuit had tripped, the incandescent light on the ceiling of the warehouse ahead suddenly went out.

Yang Bo, who was originally somewhat lazy, immediately gripped his weapon tightly.

Level 1, the habitable warehouse, is indeed a level for homeless people to live in, except when there is a power outage.

This layer contains a variety of hazards, including power outages that can last from minutes to days.

When Level 1 experiences a power outage, the main area of ​​the floor will be completely dark.

At this point, everything will be plunged into darkness, and entities will proliferate and hunt down the wanderers.

Bang... Bang...

One by one, the incandescent lights in the distance went out, and darkness gradually swallowed the light. Yang Bo immediately ran to the corner of the wall and took out the small crates and metal shelves he had collected along the way from his backpack.

With a thought, a small cubicle surrounded him.

boom.

The area where he was standing was instantly plunged into darkness, and a rustling sound immediately came from the darkness, as if something was constantly climbing.

'Is this the price of gaining power? I've encountered three level 0 rare entities, and I've only just reached the level 1 habitable warehouse when I'm caught in a major power outage…'

He now feels that if his luck could be expressed numerically, it would definitely be negative.

huh-huh-

A sudden panting sound came from the darkness. Yang Bo pursed his lips and stared intently in the direction from which the sound came.

A flashlight also appeared in his hand.

The sound of breathing gradually drew closer.

Suddenly, two round dots emitting white light appeared in the darkness.

These are a pair of eyes.

This was the first thought that popped into Yang Bo's mind, followed by another thought.

'We've been discovered!'

Turn on the flashlight, and the tungsten filament bulb emits a beam of light that shines through the metal shelf onto the white spot of light.

Two cloudy white eyes that gleamed with a cold light, without whites or pupils.

The monster froze when the flashlight beam shone on it, but instead of retreating, it let out a low growl.

"hound…"

Entity 8, commonly known as the Hound, is a hostile canine entity that inhabits sparsely populated areas of the back chambers, especially damp and abandoned floors.

Although they exhibit canine characteristics, hunting dogs are genetically very similar to humans, sharing many biological traits, including critical thinking and the use of simple tools.

This guy has extremely special characteristics.

It exhibits both phototaxis and photophobia; it actively seeks out light sources while also feeling fear when exposed to strong light.

As he was recalling information about the hound, the hound, which was blocked by the metal shelf, became restless. It paced back and forth outside, trying to avoid the flashlight beam and look for an opportunity.

"Want to eat me? I'll send you on your way first!!"

A violent emotion surged from the depths of Yang Bo's heart, a normal physiological reaction for many people when they are in danger.

For example, after being bitten by a dog.

He raised his leg and kicked the metal shelf directly. The powerful force twisted and deformed the shelf, and the impact sent a powerful thud into the hunting dog.

"Waaah—"

The hound immediately let out a mournful cry, but unfortunately no one pitied it, for it was about to face the terrifying upright ape.

The deformed forelimbs pushed the shelf aside.

It raised its head to look for Yang Bo's figure, and a dark red color came into view.
