He reached out and tore down the notice posted on the door, feeling that it would affect his reputation.
"This Level 176 practices discrimination. Other Wanderers can take things freely, so why can't I when it comes to me?"
"It's just a little more…"
Yang Tao reached out and summoned the wooden door, complaining about Level 176 for a bit before leaving directly. He wanted to go to Level 11 to take a look.
Level 11 is known as a "hub" because many levels can be reached from Level 11. Of course, whether it's voluntary or not is a different matter.
Returning to the "Boundless City," the Faceling and the Hound on the sidewalk were gone, apparently having left.
However, vehicles still occasionally passed on the road, making the city look less desolate.
"Vehicle Beast" is an Entity original to the C-version Backrooms.
It has the exact same structure and appearance as a car, but they possess a certain self-awareness. However, they have not been observed to have metabolism or reproductive behavior.
Even so, they are still considered anomalous Entities.
Yang Tao walked in one direction along the crosswalk. He was not familiar with the Boundless City, so it didn't matter to him where he went.
"It's just like a dream!"
Yang Tao looked at the skyscraper in front of him. Another skyscraper was connected to the top of the building. The two skyscrapers differed in both style and design.
But they were strangely fused together.
And Yang Tao looked at the sidewalk that had extended onto the wall, trying to walk on it but finding it impossible. Gravity still had a significant say on this level.
All of this was like a scene that could only appear in a dream, now turned into reality here.
Just as Yang Tao was still sighing, footsteps came from behind him.
"Don't move. Put your hands up!"
Yang Tao, who was counting floors, heard the voice from behind him and glanced at the minimap. Two people were walking towards him from behind.
Yang Tao did not resist immediately. He obediently raised his hands as instructed and slowly turned around.
Two men in their thirties, wearing black masks, dressed in simple T-shirts and jeans, with no other markings.
However, Yang Tao saw the red borders above their heads and knew that these two guys probably had ill intentions.
Each of them held a pistol.
"Hey, take out everything you have on you. Don't play tricks."
Yang Tao pretended to reach into his pants pocket, then slowly pulled out a Battlesign from his pocket.
"What the f*ck?!"
A Battlesign more than half a meter wide was pulled out of a small pocket. Both men's eyes widened at the incredible sight.
Then an M500 appeared out of thin air in his other hand.
"Gentlemen… allow me to introduce myself. Entity Number 9527, Yang Tao. It's a pleasure to meet you in this wonderful world."
"Bullshit!"
The two men directly pulled the triggers, and a series of gunshots rang out. However, the next moment, the two men fell directly to the ground, losing their lives.
He glanced at the Battlesign in his hand.
"Tsk tsk… this should count as suicide, right?"
The Battlesign's Retaliation is the sum of the banner's inherent damage and the main weapon's damage. This means that these two guys received the combined damage of a bullet fired from an M500 plus the full force of Yang Tao hitting them with the Battlesign.
With only ten health points, it would be difficult for them not to die.
He walked forward, collected the two pistols and their shoulder bags, and threw them into his backpack.
Not all humans in the Backrooms possess the spirit of unity and exploration. There are also scumbags who rob their own kind.
They operate with the idea that they can't beat Entities, but they can beat you, and they hang out in relatively safer levels.
Yang Tao ignored the two bodies. He didn't exchange them for energy values. On one hand, he didn't care for such a small amount, and on the other hand, he needed to set a bottom line for himself.
Otherwise, if he were truly consumed by greed, he would truly become a special Entity in the Backrooms.
He turned and continued walking forward, checking the contents of the two men's backpacks.
Fire salt, Almond water, liquid pain, cashew water, plus some bullets and daily necessities.
"Liquid Pain?"
Yang Tao curiously examined the thermos bottle in his hand. Its style and the packaging of Almond water were ninety percent similar. The only difference was that its bottle body did not have an ingredient label attached.
Liquid Pain.
Appears in bottles, cans, or vending machines. The primary reactions after using Liquid Pain are a low-grade fever or slight swelling of the left leg.
Thereafter, the user will experience seven stages, and the order of symptom appearance will be identical among individuals.
During this period, the user longs for death, but these symptoms are not fatal. This pain is unbearable and will be more terrifying than anything the victim has ever experienced.
After the seventh reaction ends, the victim will lose mobility. Although not yet dead, they will be conscious but unable to control their limbs. Other pains will disappear, and the bone structure of the limbs will detach, eliminating any possibility for the victim to use their limbs.
This thing is simply a top-notch torture and interrogation treasure in the Backrooms; it has unparalleled value.
"I never expected to find such a good thing just by casually looking."
Yang Tao was very satisfied with this item. He threw everything from the travel bag into his backpack and casually tossed the travel bag into a roadside trash can.
He explored and searched along the way, entering some accessible buildings along the road, where he could find some supplies.
For example, food, clothing, Almond water, and other common items. Occasionally, he would also encounter some refreshed supply boxes, but the probability was very small.
"Didn't they say there are 20,000 people on this level? Why can't I see anyone else besides those two suicidal guys? Did I go the wrong way?"
He felt there was no other explanation.
If he said there was no one, he had still met two. If he said there were people, besides the initial two, he hadn't encountered any other figures after walking for a long time.
Of course, Facelings don't count.
At this moment, Yang Tao saw a tall apartment building ahead, but strangely, the main entrance of this apartment building was on the fifth floor.
The entire apartment building looked like building blocks assembled incorrectly.
"If you came out of the main door, you could experience a high-altitude bungee jump directly…"
Yang Tao looked at the windows on the first floor. Some of them had no glass at all, allowing him to clearly see the furnishings of the rooms inside.
"you can actually go in?"
Some buildings looked extremely normal from the outside, but inside they were a mess, even having solid concrete buildings.
He jumped into the apartment through the window.
It was a standard single apartment room, with not many pieces of furniture or appliances inside.
However, there were two bottles of Almond water on the bedside table.
"This… is it that rich?"
