Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

puff--

The axe blade cut into the corpse's neck and then out through its abdomen.

The non-human corpse's piercing scream abruptly ceased as raging flames engulfed it.

The flames went out in two seconds.

All that remained was a charred corpse lying on a gray blanket, along with some colorful experience orbs and rotting flesh.

Yang Bo lowered his head and stared at the tragic corpse on the ground with a slight frown.

Wright walked forward with shining eyes, showing no trace of the dejected state he had been affected by the cycle of the tragic corpse.

"Boss, you're amazing!! You cleaved that monster in two with a single axe strike!"

Yang Bo shook his head slightly.

"what happened?"

Yi stepped forward, looking at Yang Bo's serious expression with some concern: "Is something wrong?"

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Bo finally spoke: "You tell me... why isn't this blanket on?"

"Uh…"

Looking at the charred corpse of the tragic figure, Yi Shi was momentarily at a loss for words to answer Yang Bo's question.

"It's probably due to the hierarchical structure."

"Maybe I'll take a look at it when I have time, just in case I accidentally start a fire..."

With a gentle kick, the corpse blocking the door is sent far away, and the corpse will be 'refreshed' in the back room in no time.

Looking at the sizable office area inside.

"Let's rest here for today. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Chapter 48 Tokarev TT-33 Pistol

"What's your decision?"

The office area, which Yang Bo had cleaned up, looked much tidier. He even knocked down the dusty carpet on the floor and laid it back up.

However, when transformed into the gray carpet in Minecraft, it appears to be a bit lighter than the carpet in the abandoned office level in the back room.

The burly man Wright, sitting by the campfire, paused for a moment, then moved closer to Yang Bo: "Boss, I'm sticking with you now."

He scratched his short brown hair and said somewhat shyly:

"I don't know why, but I feel safe and at ease when I'm around you. And this feeling of peace is even more pronounced by the campfire. I think it would be even better if there was some food."

He wasn't lying. Just like how being near a corpse would unconsciously evoke sadness, during the three hours he spent with Yang Bo, he felt his oppressive mood in the back room had eased considerably.

He guessed that Yang Bo was like the Corpse of Sorrow, except that Yang Bo was a good entity.

Yang Bo quickly moved a chair away from Wright: "Don't be so ambiguous. I don't have any special hobbies. Zero, what about you?"

Me too.

Ling turned his gaze from the campfire to Yang Bo, his eyes revealing admiration or even worship.

"Boss, to be honest, you are very strong and capable. I just want to live well under your protection."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"It's a luxury to live well in this godforsaken place. Actually, there were four of us at the beginning. The first one was suddenly grabbed by a group of limbs on level 2 and dragged into the ventilation duct. The other one accidentally got stuck in another level while walking and we don't know if he's alive or dead now."

Zero's tone was calm, as if he didn't care about his teammate's death at all.

But after he finished speaking, he picked up the almond water next to him and poured it into his mouth.

This is the back room.

Sadness attracts many kinds of entities, among which the sad corpse is a prime example.

Furthermore, even without the presence of the Corpse, ordinary homeless people who are in a prolonged state of anxiety, pain, hunger, or other negative states will also experience a Corpse Cycle, which is more insidious and difficult to detect than when encountering the Corpse.

Generally, when such a person is discovered by others, they have already entered the second stage of the cycle of the tragic corpse.

Therefore, grieving in the back room is a luxury.

Yang Bo got up and walked to Ling's side, patted him on the shoulder, but didn't say anything to comfort him.

"Since you're willing to follow me, I'll do my best to ensure your safety. However, I can't be your babysitter forever."

Zero and Wright nodded slightly.

This was all inevitable; they had already planned it from the moment they opened their mouths to seek refuge.

“I need all sorts of materials from the back room, whether it’s scrap metal, almond water, kerosene, paper, or even all sorts of dangerous things.”

"You need paper too?"

Yang Bo nodded slightly and then joked, "I don't want toilet paper, especially used ones. As for other things... you can bring them back to me as long as you think they are valuable."

"However, you should rest for two days first. I will prepare your initial equipment in two days, and then you can go explore."

"Wright, give me your gun first."

Wright immediately took out the pistol he had put back in his backpack and handed it to Yang Bo: "Boss, this gun is very prone to jamming."

Yang Bo took the pistol from Wright's hand, the slide of which was engraved with the Russian Tula Arms Factory.

Tokarev TT-33

"The main Soviet military pistol used in World War II, using the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge."

"P.S.: The rust on it is all the marks left by time. You really should put it in the display case."

The entities inside the back room have extremely strong resistance to firearms under the influence of the rules, and many entities even have the ability to be immune to firearms or even physical attacks.

Yang Bo reached out and removed the stiff magazine; it was empty of bullets.

"Boss, there are two more rounds of ammunition."

Wright immediately pulled out two bullets from the side pocket of his backpack and handed them to Yang Bo.

"If this gun isn't properly maintained, I don't think I'll be able to fire more than a few shots."

“That’s fine, Wright. I’ll take this gun back and fix it for a while. I’ll return it to you once I find a more suitable one.”

"no problem."

With only two bullets, it might even explode in the barrel. The rifling is almost completely worn down. Before, when dealing with hunting dogs, I missed a shot at a distance of more than ten meters.

The other shot hit the target, but the hound only barked symbolically and its speed was not affected at all.

Yang Bo took out two pieces of "roasted rabbit meat" from his backpack and tossed them to Wright: "You two should get some rest after you finish eating. I'm going back now, and I'll come back tomorrow or the day after."

Wright accepted the grilled meat with a look of surprise. Zero, hearing Yang Bo preparing to leave, quickly asked, "Where are you going? Don't you need our help?"

"Do not."

Yang Bo snapped his fingers, and white mist appeared in the office area: "I need to put the things in my backpack back into my world. Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow."

The white mist gradually spread out, until it engulfed Yang Bo's body, and then suddenly disappeared.

Wright and Zero stared blankly at the spot where Yang Bo had disappeared, unable to come to their senses for a long time.

"Zero, what exactly is the head?"

"I don't know, don't think about it too much. Eat and get some rest. If you don't get enough rest, we'll be in trouble when he comes back tomorrow."

"Ah."

Kant handed the roasted rabbit meat to Zero; the two were practically brothers in arms.

The main world.

Yang Bo emerged from the fog; after so many times, he was now completely accustomed to it.

Carrying her pistol, Anna headed home. She was collecting ripe carrots on the farm.

As a store-approved employee, she also has the ability to harvest... except unlike him, she has to pull the radishes out one by one by hand.

The advantage is that production will increase, but the disadvantage... is that it's really tiring.

Before Yang Bo even got home, he stared in disbelief at the bamboo forest in the distance, which was already taking shape.

"Holy crap, the bamboo forest grows this fast?"

In Minecraft, bamboo grows at the fastest rate of all plants.

If we calculate based on 20 minutes a day, the bamboo will grow one meter every 3 minutes and 25 seconds on average. Even if we calculate based on 24 hours a day, these bamboos will grow one meter every 4 hours on average.

"Fortunately, the isolation zone was dug in advance, otherwise it might have spread to other areas after a while."

He shook his head slightly, went home, opened the small crate, put all sorts of odds and ends inside, and then took the scrap metal to the charred furnace and stuffed it all in to smelt.

Yang Bo felt no fatigue at all. He scooped out all the lava from the alchemy pots and poured it into the charred furnace. Then he used water to synthesize a large amount of obsidian.

"We have enough obsidian."

Looking at the obsidian in his backpack, Yang Bo glanced around, preparing to find a suitable place to build a Nether portal.

'The place can't be too close to home, nor too far away...'

Once the Nether portal is activated, some special sounds will emanate from it. This isn't a big deal in the game, since you can only stay at home for a short while before having to leave.

But now he has to stay at home for at least a few hours, and if he keeps hearing this noise, it will definitely cause problems.

Chapter 49 What about my vast lower realm?!

A complete 4x5 Nether portal requires 14 obsidian blocks. In reality, the obsidian blocks at the four corners of the portal serve only a decorative purpose.

Standing in front of the Nether portal, I took out a flint and steel and gently tapped it against the obsidian. A purple portal appeared in the middle of the previously empty frame.

"No movement?"

Unlike in the game, the activated portal made no sound; it simply rotated quietly.

"I knew I shouldn't have put it so far away."

Stepping onto the purple portal, the scene before my eyes began to distort, though only briefly.
