The small town sank into darkness, accompanied by the clanging of iron.
Qing Chen sat on a bed made of branches and dry grass, closed his eyes, and listened to all the murmurs around him, while casually picking lice.
By four in the morning, two shirtless men suddenly barged in and dragged him outside.
Qing Chen's legs dragged through the mud as he screamed in terror, "What are you doing? Who are you? Let me go!"
At this moment, Boss Wang emerged from the darkness: "That's enough, let him go. He's no expert; an expert wouldn't have such a reflex."
Qing Chen glared at him angrily: "What are you trying to do? Let me go. I don't want to earn this money. I'm leaving!"
Boss Wang chuckled: "It's too late to leave now. You can't leave without finding something useful in Area 001. There are only two ways to leave this town: the first is to find something valuable in the Taboo Land, the second is to die."
