8: The first one paid out.

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment.

Was there air inside the big safe?

Even with bad luck, it shouldn't be like this!

"No, it's not air!"

Xiao Yun focused his eyes and saw two small objects reflecting light.

However, because it was backlit, it was hard to notice if one didn't look carefully.

[Material: Copper Coin

Rarity: Green

Price: 2326]

[Material: Silver Coin

Rarity: Blue

Price: 8440]

"Is that all?"

"Such a big safe, and that's all that's inside?"

Seeing the materials inside, Xiao Yun suddenly felt a bit defeated.

The drop rate was too frustrating!

It was even lower than the drop rate after game developers secretly nerfed it!

But thankfully.

The materials in this world could be sold for real currency.

These two coins combined were worth nearly ten thousand, so overall, it was still a profitable haul.

Xiao Yun put the two coins into his briefcase.

The total value of the safety box also went from nothing to something.

After doing all this.

Xiao Yun found a hidden spot and carefully listened for footsteps around him.

It was very quiet around, eerily quiet.

Even Shield Bro's slow footsteps were moving away from him.

"Could it be that because of the gunshots outside, all the bots went over there?"

Realizing this, Xiao Yun's heart leaped with joy.

This meant he still had a chance to search for more materials!

At this moment, on the second floor of the Cement Factory.

There was also an air drop box and two weapon boxes.

The air drop box had a drop rate second only to the large and small safes, while the weapon boxes had a chance to yield weapons worth tens of thousands.

However.

For these two material points, Xiao Yun directly chose to skip them.

Instead, he rushed towards the northern stairs, heading to the northern warehouse on the first floor!

And he did this with his own considerations.

Firstly.

Although the weapons from weapon boxes were valuable, even if he got the worst UZI, AK-74U, or something similar, the value would still be around ten thousand.

But the weapons and accessories found could not be put into the safety box.

Even if Xiao Yun had a 100-slot safety box, he couldn't put them in.

And searching the air drop box took too long.

Xiao Yun had just searched one air drop box and it took him over five minutes.

However, the materials dropped were three greens and one white.

There was no need to waste time!

Therefore.

Xiao Yun chose to take advantage of the absence of soldiers around and ran all the way to the Cement Factory's northern warehouse.

To his surprise, the large safe here had also spawned!

"The spawn mechanism in this world is indeed different from the game!"

Seeing this scene.

Xiao Yun immediately confirmed his suspicion.

All high-resource material points in this forbidden zone world would consistently spawn!

Unlike in the game, where four high-resource points would randomly spawn and other places wouldn't have any.

In other words.

A normal Dam No. 0 would only have two computers and two large safes per run.

However, in the forbidden zone world's Dam No. 0, there would be a full 10 computers and 10 large safes per run!

Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip—hiss—!

While thinking, Xiao Yun's hands didn't stop moving.

He opened the last large safe in the Cement Factory, and immediately, a faint golden light shimmered!

"Could it be!"

Xiao Yun's heart was instantly filled with excitement!

[Material: Gold Coin

Rarity: Gold

Price: 58231]

He had never felt so thrilled to get a gold coin!

......

In the time that followed.

Taking advantage of the Cement Factory being empty, Xiao Yun opened all three cement trucks inside.

And the material drop rate was as he expected, incredibly low!

After opening three cement trucks.

All the materials dropped were green and white, not even a single blue!

And these materials were all dug out by Xiao Yun one by one from the diluted cement that was stirred out.

"It's really not easy to do this job!"

Xiao Yun sighed internally.

He had only searched half of the Cement Factory, but he already felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Tired, extremely tired.

This tiredness was not just physical, the exhaustion of depleted stamina.

It was also mental torment.

In this world full of dangers everywhere.

Even if he was just doing a knife run to get some materials, he had to constantly keep an eye on his surroundings.

At the slightest rustle, he had to concentrate to analyze and judge.

Xiao Yun felt this feeling of mental exhaustion for the first time.

Even if he wanted to think about something, his brain was clearly thinking very slowly.

"It's indeed not easy to extract a million from this world."

Xiao Yun thought silently.

At this moment, he found it hard to imagine how Yu Youya managed her three million-dollar extractions.

What's more.

She was just a young girl in her early twenties, and she didn't look like she had undergone any special training.

The only thing he could think of was Yu Youya's advantage in leg length.

Could it be that she ran fast because she had long legs?

"Forget it, let's just end this round."

Xiao Yun sighed.

Although the safety box was full of green and white materials, with only one gold coin.

The total value, however, exceeded 100,000.

In the game, this income might be negligible.

But in the real world, this money was a lot!

For normal spending, Xiao Yun wouldn't finish it in a year.

Thinking of this.

Xiao Yun also decided to end this round directly.

After returning to reality, he would first check his physical condition.

If he was tired, he would have to rest for a while before entering the forbidden zone world again.

"Hey, what are you looking at!"

Xiao Yun arrived at the east side of the Cement Factory.

On the second floor of the South Warehouse, a familiar figure stood.

An Asala Rocket Soldier.

"Come on, hurry up, give me a shot."

Bang—!

As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, a rocket flew out rapidly.

[Notification: You have lost all materials outside your safety box.]

[Respawning...]

......

When the scene reappeared before his eyes, Xiao Yun was already back in the real world.

Xiao Yun checked his physical condition.

His clothes were intact, but the feeling of fatigue on his body had not recovered.

And because his death was from being blown to pieces by a rocket.

Therefore, he only felt a brief intense pain before he lost consciousness.

This time, his revival didn't cause much suffering.

"Going in there once is too exhausting..."

Feeling the fatigue all over his body.

Xiao Yun felt that he needed to rest for at least some time before he could enter the forbidden zone again.

Otherwise, if he was not in good condition.

Not only would he fail to get materials on a knife run, but his body would also break down.

During this time, he also happened to familiarize himself with the trading system of this world.

From his impression.

The trading point set up by the GTI Official was in the adjacent Eight Warehouse.

That was not only a place to trade materials.

It was also a place for forbidden zone players to communicate, used for recruiting teammates and finding teams.

However, currently, Xiao Yun had no intention of teaming up.

"Damn it! I didn't extract this time either!"

"Those soldiers are too strong, each one of them seems to have an aimbot!"

Just as Xiao Yun walked to the entrance of the Nine Warehouse.

He saw two people who had failed to extract appear before him.

The two rubbed their heads repeatedly, their expressions full of pain.

It was clear that they had both been headshotted by Machine Bro.

Xiao Yun initially didn't want to bother with strangers.

However, when he saw the appearance of one of them, he frowned.

"Zhang Yu?"

"Huh? Who called me?"

Zhang Yu slowly looked up.

Seeing Xiao Yun for the first time, he also frowned.

He instantly leaned closer, staring at Xiao Yun carefully for two seconds, and his expression immediately turned to joy.

"You're Xiao Yun!? No way, how did you change so much now?"
