In the square, everyone was curiously looking at the scarlet cards in their hands.
Some were also looking curiously at others' cards.
After glancing at the card, Luo Chen put it into his pocket.
No matter what, in this environment, being special meant being isolated.
Luo Chen didn't want to increase the difficulty for himself right from the start.
He had no idea what would happen next!
"Residents of 10087 Killing Town, attention!"
Just as everyone was at a loss, not knowing what to do next, the voice that had brought them to this place appeared again!
"The cards in your hands are your Safe House keys in the Slaughter Land, and also your identity proof!"
"Carry your cards, follow the guidance to your respective Safe Houses, and activating the basic functions of the Safe House is the first thing you need to do."
"Please remember!"
"The Safe House is the only place where you can rest assured, but the Safe House is not entirely impregnable; once the Safe House is breached, you will lose your only shelter and become a wanderer of the Slaughter Land!"
"Within the Endless Slaughter Game, the only rule is that there are no rules!"
"You can do anything you want!"
"Provided you possess sufficient strength!"
"Strength and wisdom are the only things that can bring you a sense of security here, so please strive to become stronger!"
"Finally;"
"We wish you a pleasant game!"
As the voice in his mind disappeared, names appeared one by one on the Blood-colored Obelisk before him.
"Zhang Long"
"Zhao Hu"
"Wang Er"
"Li Si"
"......"
Many were Chinese names, but some were names written in other scripts.
But no matter what script, if you saw it, you could naturally understand its meaning, even if you had never learned that script!
Furthermore, at the base of the obelisk, on its largest pedestal, the words "10087 Killing Town" also appeared.
......
After a moment of silence, the 1000 people in the square began to discuss amongst themselves.
Luo Chen glanced at the people around him, then turned and walked to the other side.
Many others, like him, had already started to leave the square.
Just after that voice disappeared, they all simultaneously felt a certain guidance, seemingly telling them the location of their respective Safe Houses.
"Why are those people leaving?"
"They must be going to find their Safe Houses. Did you feel it? I seem to clearly know where my Safe House is!"
"I felt it too. Shall we go as well?"
"Let's go! Let's go! Hurry up and see what that Safe House looks like."
"Do you think... we'll die?"
"Who knows? We're alive now, so why think so much!"
"You're right, you're more open-minded."
"Sigh~! Anyway, this life of mine was snatched from the grim reaper's hands in the first place, so I'm just returning it in the end."
"......"
Soon after, Luo Chen stopped outside a two-story small villa.
The villa was a cozy two-story wooden villa with small front and back gardens, not large, but cozy enough, suitable for a family.
Through the front yard, Luo Chen arrived at the entrance of the small villa.
It was a wooden red single door with a signboard hanging on it.
Only, it wasn't a house number, but an obelisk pattern.
Luo Chen then took out the scarlet card from his pocket.
Almost the moment the card was taken out, it transformed into a ray of light and disappeared into the door before him.
The next moment—
Luo Chen felt as if a green light dot appeared in his mind, and what the light dot represented was the Safe House before him!
A piece of information naturally surfaced, telling him about the basic situation of this Safe House.
"Quite convenient," Luo Chen muttered to himself, then reached out and grasped the Safe House's doorknob.
The next second—
The scarlet wooden door instantly turned white.
Click~!
The door opened.
Opening the door and entering the Safe House, the first thing that came into view was a living room.
There was nothing in the living room.
Sofas, coffee tables, televisions... None of these were present!
To the right was an open-plan kitchen.
There were some things in the kitchen, but not many!
Just a kitchen island and a sink.
At least there was water.
Further inside was the dining room, with a worn wooden table but no chairs.
To the right of the dining room was a bathroom.
The door opened; the good news was there was a toilet, and it was a commode.
The bad news was... there was no water in the tank!
"Could it be?"
Luo Chen quickly came out of the bathroom, returned to the kitchen, and turned on the faucet switch.
Indeed! No water flowed from the faucet either.
So you're just a simple sink, huh?
Luo Chen shook his head speechlessly.
Through the information obtained when he activated this Safe House earlier, he already knew that the Safe House could be upgraded.
But upgrading the Safe House required money!
Not the currency from Earth before Luo Chen's transmigration, nor the local currency of that Blue Star after his transmigration, but the unique currency of the Slaughter Land, killing coins!
And Luo Chen now? He was penniless!
So, let alone upgrading, he couldn't afford any upgrades at all.
The situation on the first floor was basically like this.
Finally, there was a room that could have been a utility room or a laundry room, but it was empty, with nothing inside.
After opening the door, he could see the Safe House's backyard.
It was a small yard of about twenty square meters, even smaller than the front yard.
But these could all be upgraded, provided you had money!
Returning to the Safe House, Luo Chen didn't go upstairs because the second floor area was not open in an unupgraded Safe House.
Want to sleep? There's a table here! You can sleep on the table.
If you don't mind, sleeping on the floor is also an option.
Returning to the dining area, Luo Chen's gaze fell on the only table in the entire Safe House.
On the table now was a red box.
Luo Chen knew that it was a welcome gift that everyone who entered the Slaughter Land would receive!
He walked over and opened the box.
Inside the not-so-large box were several items: a dagger, to be used as a beginner's weapon in the early stages; something like a crystal, whose purpose was unknown; and a small model of a Blood-colored Obelisk.
Luo Chen first picked up the Blood-colored Obelisk model, and as soon as he touched it, the model instantly transformed into a ray of light and merged into his right hand.
Hiss~!
A sudden sharp pain came from his wrist, but it came and went quickly.
Luo Chen quickly pulled up his sleeve and then saw an obelisk-shaped tattoo outlined with black lines on the inside of his wrist.
Whoosh—
A light appeared before him, forming a virtual interface.
