Lin Chen walked down the stairs. The red mist blurred his vision, and the air smelled of blood. He gripped his steel pipe tightly, his eyes sharp.
The attribute panel warned him of no nearby threats. He reached the first floor and saw the community supermarket door wide open. Inside, shelves were overturned, and snacks scattered on the floor.
Lin Chen entered slowly, checking every corner. Satisfied no beasts were hiding, he started packing. He filled his backpack with bottled water, compressed biscuits, and instant noodles.
Suddenly, he spotted a first-aid box in the corner. He rushed over, grabbing bandages, painkillers, and antiseptic wipes.
The backpack was now heavy. Knowing time was precious, he turned to leave. Just then, the panel beeped. A new icon appeared—[Item Collection].
