Chapter 5: Exploring New Floors

After fully blending into the wall, I felt lightheaded, my eyes blackened, my body rose rapidly, my consciousness became blurred, and my vision darkened.

I speculate that this is what it feels like to cut out, exactly the same feeling as when you first enter the Backrooms.

But then I lost consciousness.

……

"Huh?" I don't know how long I fainted, but I felt a chill in my body, and it was still wet. It's cool, but it feels like you're going to be drowsy.

"Maybe I'm too nervous and sleepy, I've spent at least five hours just tasting those pieces of paper in that place, and now it's three o'clock in the morning." I never stayed up late, and the last time I went to bed was at half past eleven at night. There is nothing to look at time here, and there is no sun to see at all, so sleepiness is the only thing that controls time.

So I took some hot water out of my bag and took a few sips, but it didn't work.

At this time, I saw a corner about a few dozen meters away, which was quite hidden. "No, I can't sleep, whew...... Phew, it's too dangerous here, find a corner...... Go disguise and then rest. "But under the influence of nervousness, exhaustion, sleepiness, environment, and hunger, I only vaguely climbed more than ten meters before falling asleep.

After about eight or nine hours, when I woke up naturally, I found that I seemed to be in the hall of a warehouse with no end in sight, with concrete floors and walls. The dim lighting, exposed rebar, and the fog suspended lower were chilling. Some fog may condense due to air temperatures, creating unevenly distributed puddles on the ground.

"A new level? Looks like I made a cut-out! "I thought with some luck and some joy in my heart, because I didn't miss arms or legs.

After thinking about it, I took out the hot water from my bag to warm up, but I drank the pot of hot water.

As soon as I put the kettle away, I looked around again to see if there was any danger. I noticed that at the end of the hall, about 50 meters away from me, a silver-square, shimmering object caught my attention.

"That's a small box?" I stepped forward to check, and my steps were a little staggering, because I suspected that there was an entity on this level.

Upon approaching, I noticed that the box was unlocked, and there was some mold and damage on the outside.

"Isn't there anything popping out of this box......" I was a little worried, but when I thought that I had little food and water left, I thought, "Anyway, what if there's something useful in it?" It's still the old saying that a dead horse is a live horse doctor, open it! ”

When I opened the box, I was greeted by a rich smell of bread.

"Woc, bread!" I exclaimed in my heart, because of my current state, it is not easy to find something to continue my life.

After my counting, the small box, which was no more than twenty centimeters long and wide, contained four pieces of dry bread, a cotton waistcoat, a penny coin, and a broken but unopened silver bottle that appeared to be full of liquid.

It's getting colder and colder here, if this is the front room, it's simply the temperature of the imperial capital, the humidity of Shanghai, the thorny cold. So I quickly put the vest under the cotton coat. I keep everything in my bag except for the vest.

"Let's see if there are any more boxes, there must be more than one box here, and if you can keep finding me, there is hope of survival." I thought.

The length of this hall is more than 300 meters, and there are many winding corridors in the distance. I walked to the end, chose a passage, and went straight in this direction.

As I walked, I found that this level was composed of several halls, and in the larger hall, there were some furniture scattered around, and the power supply was also endless, and a refrigerator or something was even humming.

Also, the passages I am walking through now are like connecting the halls, and although it is a little difficult to walk, I can see that the passages are getting larger and larger.

After I had walked for about thirty minutes, I found a hall, took a break, and sorted out the supplies I had harvested in the boxes for the previous 40 minutes: 19 loaves of bread, 10 candles, 8 unopened silver bottles, 1 penny coin, and a fruit knife.

"What kind of water is in this silver bottle? I'd love to know. "Curiosity drives me. However, as far as I could see, the word "Almondwater" was faintly written on the bottom of the silver bottle.

"Almond water? What strange name, is almond water difficult or almond milk? "My English is actually quite good, I am the representative of the English class in our class.

I opened it and there was a strong almond flavor, but it was still a little different from the almond syrup.

Seeing this, I couldn't wait to take a sip: some sweetness, mixed with some vanilla.

"It seems that almond water is not so magical, it is equivalent to electrolyte water, so I have to keep walking."

Just as I was about to leave, a group of men and horses with weapons appeared on the opposite side of the hall.

"It's people? Or is it an entity? ”
