12: Stuff your pants!

"Holy cow!!! You're awesome, brother!!!"

Fuji, who was about to run away with tears in his eyes, jumped up in excitement after hearing those familiar beats.

Carrying his heavy backpack, Fuji arrived at the military camp.

"Liu Yan? Liu Yan?"

Upon reaching the camp, Fuji couldn't believe his eyes, and the gun in his hand slipped to the ground.

Several Pseudo-human-like corpses lay between the tents, and the red tent had become even more vividly red and translucent from the blood.

"Pain…killer."

From inside one of the tents, Liu Yan's faint, hoarse voice emerged.

"Liu Yan?! Wait, I'll get it for you right away."

After fumbling through his backpack a few times, Fuji suddenly remembered that he had long since discarded all the medicine to make room for more accessories.

He had also eaten the last painkiller himself.

Fuji quickly dropped his backpack and hurried to search the other corpses.

Finally, Fuji found a painkiller on one of the four-set corpses.

"Found it, Liu Yan, hold on, I'm coming!"

Fuji quickly jogged towards the tent from which Liu Yan's voice had just come.

Upon entering the tent, Fuji was utterly stunned; he finally saw Liu Yan's appearance at that moment!

Liu Yan was leaning against the tent, covered in blood, his eyelids drooping, seemingly having exhausted his stamina to the limit.

His right leg was completely gone, and only half of his left arm remained.

Next to Liu Yan, a Pseudo-human corpse was even more bizarre.

An ox horn craft item was impaled through his skull, from temple to temple, transforming him into a "Minotaur."

"Medicine…it hurts so much…"

Hearing Liu Yan's hoarse voice, Fuji finally snapped back to reality.

"Good…good…medicine, medicine!"

After a flurry of activity, Fuji finally took a painkiller tablet from the bottle and put it into Liu Yan's mouth.

The moment the painkiller entered his stomach, the pain that enveloped Liu Yan's entire body instantly vanished.

It could only be said that products from the Third District were always top-notch.

A mere painkiller tablet, its effect was even faster than an anesthetic.

"Quick, first put the mandel brick into the decipherer, there's no time left!"

No longer tormented by pain, Liu Yan immediately shouted.

Their resurrection point for this round was at Position One, West Wing of the Administration Building, so the extraction point would inevitably be the Tourist Center.

This meant almost traversing the entire Dam Zero.

And the time displayed in the sky was only 11 minutes remaining.

Deciphering the mandel brick required 4 minutes, and Liu Yan also needed to copy the mandel brick in the last minute of deciphering.

In other words, Liu Yan actually only had 8 minutes to run to the extraction point.

"Signal received, deciphering initiated, defend the deciphering station!"

The moment Fuji inserted the mandel brick, a voice from the sky also rang out.

Hearing this voice, Liu Yan also let out a sigh of relief and shouted towards Fuji:

"Help me get a surgical kit."

"Hold on, I'll look for it."

Fuji heard him and once again crouched beside the corpses, searching.

After finding the surgical kit and handing it to Liu Yan, their eyes met, and they simultaneously realized a problem.

A surgical kit could repair fractures, but it couldn't regenerate severed limbs!

Liu Yan's leg at this point had long since shattered into countless fragments scattered everywhere.

With 8 minutes, how could he, with one leg, traverse Dam Zero to reach the Tourist Center for extraction?

For a moment, Liu Yan's eyes dimmed.

"Organize the equipment from these seven people, then you should just leave," Liu Yan said slowly.

"No, we'll go together!" Fuji's usual expression changed, his gaze becoming unusually resolute.

"Brother Ji, I know your good intentions, but I can't go, there's not enough time," Liu Yan forced a bitter smile.

"You take the items and get out to break even. Even if I die, the mandel brick should still be extractable once deciphered, so it's not a loss."

Fuji didn't respond to Liu Yan, silently picking up an empty backpack and chest rig to organize the equipment from the remaining seven corpses.

Liu Yan hopped out of the tent on one leg, looking at Fuji who was squatting beside a Pseudo-human corpse, silently organizing equipment.

Liu Yan patted his missing right leg and joked:

"I say, Brother Ji, you're not planning to make me carry it after you've packed everything, are you? You don't even treat me like a person!"

Fuji pushed his middle-parted hair to the sides; clearly, this hairstyle was somewhat hindering him from looking down to organize the backpack.

"One of these people had a four-set, the rest were three-sets."

"If all this equipment can be taken out, do you know how much money that is?"

"Millions! How many people have to save for decades without eating or drinking to get that much!"

Fuji said, quickly selecting high-value accessories and continuously optimizing the backpack and chest rig.

"It can't be, this is just a game…" Liu Yan's words stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

Unconsciously, he had again treated all of this as a game, which was why he hadn't paid too much attention to these things.

Just the Level 4 helmet and armor alone were worth 200,000!

"Brother Ji, there are seven bags in total, don't miss any, I'll go copy the mandel brick first!" Liu Yan finished speaking and hopped towards the deciphering station.

In a game, it wouldn't matter if one or two million couldn't be extracted; you could just play again.

But this was different; this was one or two million in cash!

Soon, Liu Yan successfully deciphered the mandel brick, and Fuji had also organized all the high-value items.

Even the ox horn embedded in the head of the corpse in the tent was pulled out by Fuji.

After all, it was worth over ten thousand yuan, enough to buy a smartphone.

"Phew~ It's all organized, you just need to put it all on," Fuji placed the heavy backpack and the four-level helmet and armor in front of Liu Yan.

"It's a pity, there are still a lot of valuable sundries, but I really can't carry any more," Fuji said with a hint of heartache.

Liu Yan looked at the bulging backpack and chest rig and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Liu Yan habitually checked the backpack.

"Quick, go get some more valuable items," Liu Yan said without looking up.

"It's completely full, isn't it? Nothing else can fit."

Fuji was puzzled but still followed Liu Yan's instructions.

After Fuji left, Liu Yan glanced back at the position of the drone behind him.

He adjusted his body's angle, completely blocking the space between the backpack and the military drone.

"Hope this works…"

Since there was no secure container in this world, how much one could carry depended entirely on the backpack and chest rig.

If a secure container existed, then a portion of space could be successfully optimized in the backpack.

Then, under cover, Liu Yan stealthily stuffed several miscellaneous items into his crotch… Yes, at a physical level, he stuffed them into his crotch!

In games, people often referred to the secure container as the 'crotch slot,' so Liu Yan had a sudden idea to try and see if items stuffed into his crotch could actually be successfully extracted.

"Here, it's all here, I just tried, and it's completely impossible to stuff anything else in."

Fuji had returned by this time, holding several miscellaneous items.

"OK, just right."

Liu Yan took the miscellaneous items and stuffed them all into the backpack.

"What? How did you do that? There was clearly no gap just now!"

Fuji incredulously opened the backpack and checked again.

The backpack, which had been completely gapless moments ago, now surprisingly had gaps after several more items were stuffed into it.

"Then don't worry about it, let's go, extract!"
