《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 16: The first dungeon 1
Advertisement
As soon as I crossed the portal, it sent me to a different place. I didn't feel any dizziness either. It was like crossing a door, Doraemon style. In any case, now I am in what seems to be an abandoned laboratory. The walls have an ashy white color, while on the floor, chairs and medical instruments are lying all over the place. If it weren't because there is still light, I would think I was transported to a horror movie.
But the notification confirms that I am in the dungeon.
[Special Dungeon: Abandoned Laboratory G-1]
[Time limit: 6 Hours]
[If you don't complete it within the time limit, you will be automatically expelled, and the dungeon will end].
[Once the dungeon is finished, it will disappear, so try to get 100%]
Special dungeon, will it disappear? Oscar told me that there are only permanent and random dungeons. I never mention a special dungeon.
Or maybe he didn't know. If I remember correctly, he said he only knew what everyone knew, so it's likely that not many know about special dungeons.
In any case, I only have 6 hours to loot this place. Let's start the exploration.
I find myself in what seems to be the entrance of a hospital. As I have no idea where to go, I start entering the rooms whose doors are open.
In the first room, there are no monsters, so I pass calmly. Some surgery was performed here, I see broken vials and syringes everywhere, and there are no beds, only an iron table that is full of dust and a little rusty. I start to check the whole place looking for something of value, but only found a small sheet.
When I pick it up, a notification appears.
[You have obtained the clinical sheet - Subject #G-127]
[Description: Subject # G-127 arrived with several bites of all sizes all over his body, there is no way to reuse him].
Subject #G-127 is the codename of a person? Were they experimenting on humans? What do you mean there is no way to use him again? Just say he's dead, or do they need them to be alive? This is very murky.
I leave the room and enter the one in front of me, it's the same as the one I just entered a few moments ago, and there's only one sheet.
[You have obtained the clinical sheet - Subject #G-179]
[Description: Subject #G-179 was administered with painkillers and a prosthetic leg, must rest for three days to be able to use it again]
In another report as above, only this time, the subject survived to be used as a guinea pig again.
I check the rest of the rooms, and they are all the same, test subjects that survive and are used again or die and are discarded.
I only have one room left to check, but it is locked, and on it is a sign that says "Medical Records."
I try to force the door, but a notification pops up.
[Requires key to the records room].
So I need a key to get in; I hope it's not in some police department.
After checking around, I found the stairs to the upper and lower floors. There is also a map taped next to it.

There are another five upper floors and another two lower floors.
Let's go to the upper floors first; I will go down to the lower feet after checking them.
The second floor is the same as the first floor. All the upper floors may be areas to treat the "G Subjects" wounds.
I recheck the rooms and find only clinical sheets telling the same story until a sign catches my eye.
Janitor's room? If I remember correctly, janitors usually have keys to many rooms for cleaning during the night.
I try to open the room, and to my good fortune, it is open; I turn on the light, and the place is a bit dusty, but all the cleaning supplies are still fine, and there is even a book with some keys under it.
[You have obtained Antiseptic Alcohol x 200].
[Description: A glass bottle containing a clear liquid capable of cleaning DEBUFF "Bleeding" and boosting the body's natural healing, it's used on the skin, so don't be such an idiot as to drink it]
[You have obtained Vinegar x 200]
[Description: A bottle containing a clear liquid, it's not only used on food, but it's also used to clean clothes or floors, but it also smells weird]
[You have obtained Hydrochloric Acid x 100]
[Description: A glass bottle containing a potent acid capable of cleaning DEBUFF "Oxidation" its smell is highly irritating and can corrode the skin, so if you don't want to get burned skin, be very careful]
[You have obtained Janitor's Diary]
[You have obtained Janitor's Keychain]
[Description: The Janitor's keychain which contains the following keys; "Storage"; "Operating Room"; "Engine Room"; "Laboratory"; "Observation Room"; "Records Room," and "Lower Floor Padlock]
I thought I would get the keys to the building, but I also got many chemicals.
I may have to use alcohol and acid. As for this diary, maybe it will tell me what happened here.
[Janitor's diary]
[Day X - Month X - Year X: Again, I have to clean up all the blood in the observation room].
[Day X - Month X - Year X: I just got called to clean the hallway leading to the lower floors as there are little pieces of flesh scattered all over the floor, it sucks to clean, but I can't complain as the pay is excellent]
[Day X - Month X - Year X: I was cleaning outside the records room when I heard some mumbling from inside, they were saying something about "evolution" and "wild"].
[Day X - Month X - Month X - Year X: Went to the machine room to prevent the rust DEBUFF from happening, when they suddenly brought out a body scan machine, it turns out smashed the previous one from the inside out].
[Day X - Month X - Year X: I just heard some screams coming from the lower floor, they sound more severe than you usually hear].
[Day X - Month X - Year X: I went to clean the downstairs and that a staircase has been renamed "HG" I know what the G stands for, but what's up with that H?]
[Day X - Month X - Year X: While I was cleaning the first floor, in the "HG," there was a scream, it sounded just like the one I heard a few months ago, it seemed to come from these "HG Subjects"]

[Day X - Month X - Year X: While I was in the warehouse to pick up a supply of antiseptic alcohol, a roar even louder than the previous ones sounded which made the walls vibrate. Then an alarm went off, and all non-combat personnel evacuated. Everything went back to normal 30 minutes later, but I think it's time to quit]
[Day X - Month X - Year X: I quit today, so I leave this diary and the spare keys for the next Janitor, good luck].
[You just read the "Janitor's Diary."]
So the Janitor left this place after that incident. I would, too, if I were in his place.
After getting the keyring from the concierge, I went up to the second floor, and it is almost the same as the other 2, but here are: "The observation room"; "Storage" and "The engine room."
I went to the warehouse as the first choice because it is where medical objects are kept. Once I entered the room, I was fascinated. There is not only alcohol, vinegar, and hydrochloric acid. There are also test tubes, anesthetics, injections, and several ingots.
[You have obtained Antiseptic Alcohol x 300].
[You have obtained Vinegar x 300]
[You have obtained Hydrochloric Acid x 300]
[You have obtained Probe x 400]
[You have obtained Anesthetics x 1000]
[You have obtained Adrenaline Injection x 200]
[You have obtained Stainless Steel Ingots x 600]
[You have obtained Ingots A-Z x 100].
Now let's see what these new items are.
[Probe]
[Description: Tubular shaped glass beaker used in laboratories to measure and encapsulate liquids, they are so resistant that even stones are envious of them]
[Anesthetic]
[Description: A vial containing a potent anesthetic that removes the DEBUFF "Rip" and grants "Immunity to pain" for 30 seconds This will not take away the pain of losing your girlfriend.]
[Adrenaline Injection]
[Description: An injection that increases your attack speed by 10%. Can only be used three times a day. If used for the fourth time, you will suffer from a violent reaction that will leave you in shock for 2 minutes]
[Stainless steel ingots]
[Description: An alloy of iron and carbon steel capable of preventing corrosion, they are perfect for making pole dance tubes]
[Ingots A-Z]
[Description: An alloy stronger than diamond, it is so strong that even Chuck Norris approves of it]
Oh my god, I'm happy with this alone. According to their description, these ingots are more robust than diamonds. It would be even better if I asked a blacksmith to make me a sword with these ingots.
While I check my inventory, I realize that I can only accumulate the special objects, consumables, and materials up to a maximum of 500. Once this number is exceeded, they occupy another box of the inventory.
Now I know how much you can accumulate a single object; concerning the maximum number of inventory boxes, I say they are 10. I have no proof, but no doubts either.
Ok, let's leave that aside. I still have two more places to explore.
Having said all that, I head to the engine room; as I'm walking down the hallway, I start to hear the noises of an engine. Is there still a machine running so far?
If I guess correctly, this must be the backup generator that powers this whole place.
I open the door to the engine room, and it is indeed a backup generator.
I may have activated it after the main power supply went out as I approached the enormous old boiler-shaped machine and got a notification.
[Generator is currently supplying power to the entire lab, would like to redistribute power].
Of course not! I'm not crazy enough to be that. Where will it redistribute all the electricity?
I start looking around, but I only find an instruction manual, which I start reading.
[Chief mechanic's instruction manual]
[1. In the event of any power failure, the Generator will be automatically activated]
[2. Once the Generator is activated, it will enter the "Contingency" state, which distributes power to specific locations throughout the facility]
[3. If the "Contingency" state is not activated, it will have to be activated manually].
[4. No one except the chief mechanic must manipulate the Generator]
[5. In the case of redistributing power from the Generator, a level must submit five orders]
[You have just read the "Chief Mechanic's, Instruction Manual"].
That is how it is, which explains why it is still working now. It is not that it has a massive amount of power inside, but that it is distributed to specific locations.
Now it remains to see the observation room; before entering the room, I bring my ear close and knock on the door.
As there is no reaction, I open the door; as soon as I open the door, I see a figure on the wall, so I quickly draw my sword preparing for combat, but the figure does not move. I focus my eyes on the discolored figure. It seems that it is tied to the wall in the same position as the Vitruvian man.
I enter the room, and everything is in disarray. It is as if those here have made an enormous effort to tie that figure.
I look around the room and find another sign-in sheet, but this time I read it before putting it away.
[You have obtained a medical chart - Subject # HG-013]
[Description: Subject # HG-013 shows signs of progression, so we proceed with his permanent removal by dehydration using the solar beam]
That explains his discoloration, but why use a solar ray? Isn't it quicker to just cut off his head and be done with it?
Since there is nothing else here, I check the other rooms on the second floor and take all the log sheets.
Now it's my turn to check the third floor, so I climb the stairs. Usually, curiously all the doors are closed, and you can only read the sign that says "L-1" I think this is the lab, but as there are so many rooms, I decided to go in numerical order.
What the fuck!!?
I find a shelf with many jars full of arms, legs, hands, feet, torsos, and even heads upon entering the room.
Thanks to the passive ability calm mind, I can keep myself under control, so I approach the shelf and look at the head floating in the jar, and I'm surprised.
That's a goblin?
