The two branching paths at each intersection diverged differently—one turning left, the other right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye quickly navigated several turns, only to find more corridors of varying lengths ahead. Some passages ended at forks leading in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an endless maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this maze could accommodate 10 billion people simultaneously, Lin Ye couldn't fathom its complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't concern him much. He didn't need to escape the maze, just find necessary supplies here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour exploring nine red rooms, Lin Ye had only collected a few red coins, a red key, and some usable scraps—no trace of the treasure chest mentioned in the system information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exploring further, he suddenly discovered a locked door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door looked identical to others, except for the additional red lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lock's color blended with the door so well that Lin Ye might have missed it if he hadn't checked each room methodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examining the keyhole, Lin Ye first tried picking it with a wire salvaged from garbage. After a minute of failed attempts, he realized this wasn't an ordinary mechanical lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the red key, the door opened and the key vanished. Inside was a room identical in size to others, but instead of trash, it contained shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A storage room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye inspected the shelves—mostly empty, but he found a few remaining items:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two bottles of red liquid, a metal pendant, and seven hard cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid filled sealed glass bottles, approximately 400ml each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pendant was a silver cross of equal length and width, wearable around the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cards had dark red backs with intricate patterns resembling those on the red coins, featuring three distinct designs across seven cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye packed everything into his salvaged backpack. Though uncertain of their use, he took them anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he shouldered the pack to leave, footsteps echoed from the corridor's far end—not his entry direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint sounds were only audible because of the absolute silence, giving him early warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye quietly closed the door, leaving just enough gap to observe the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the footsteps neared, and a figure passed by:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-red desiccated corpse, half its skull missing, the remaining brain matter dried out—impossible to tell what animated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the corpse passed, Lin Ye calculated the distance, swung the door open, and fired at its remaining skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunshot reverberated through the halls. The bullet struck true, knocking the blood-corpse down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Lin Ye's first time firing a gun, yet the motion felt familiar—like he'd done it countless times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing this thought, he kept his distance, watching cautiously. With half its head gone, he couldn't be sure if the remaining part was vital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially motionless, the corpse suddenly convulsed violently after two seconds—like an epileptic seizure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloody limbs sprouted from its back like spider legs, propping up its body. Its abdomen split open as desiccated flesh and organs regained vitality, blossoming outward into new grotesque formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye fired three more shots—chest, lower left abdomen, lower right abdomen—each hitting different areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused to believe this monster had no weak points. He just hadn't found them yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature launched itself frog-like from the ground, rebounding off the ceiling to cover seven meters in two leaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye calmly retreated a full step, then emptied his magazine into the lunging monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this range, volume mattered more than accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the clip spent, Lin Ye released the pistol, sidestepped the follow-up pounce by instinct, and drew his waist dagger instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster's momentum carried it crashing into the far wall where it twitched briefly before going still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, bullets still worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye remained poised, guarding against resurrection. Throughout the encounter, his movements had been economical, his composure unshaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to simulator missions, a jumping corpse was practically friendly company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several minutes, Lin Ye approached the remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse had lost all human semblance, retaining only scattered fragments of its original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye began dissecting it with his dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature's anatomy was a chaotic amalgamation. Initially curious about its animation mechanism, Lin Ye eventually abandoned theorizing to study its bizarre tissue structures instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, satisfied, he sheathed the dagger and continued exploring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the monster, he retrieved a keychain holding five identical red keys—apparently just door tokens unrelated to actual locks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henceforth, Lin Ye skipped unlocked rooms—most contained only garbage, with occasional coins or single keys as \"drops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine rooms for one key was terrible odds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to find a treasure chest quickly to check the shelter upgrade requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navigating corridors swiftly, Lin Ye spun his empty pistol absently. The gunplay had felt instinctive, like decades of muscle memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likely residual experience from simulating Kenneth—Lin Ye had never handled firearms before, making such proficiency impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as D-Class personnel, Kenneth must have had specialized skills to qualify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lin Ye found another locked red door. No response to knocking. Using one key, he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room's layout matched others, but instead of trash, a red wooden chest occupied the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlocked, Lin Ye carefully pried it open with his dagger before leaping back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to expectations, no dangers emerged—no explosive traps, no blood-corpse ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>",897,"2026-06-03T11:03:28.359Z","2026-06-03T11:03:25.283Z",1,"novelbin.me","59af75a745f17502308153bb4115309302a04ac19eecb549b58c6ea703918dde","global-survival-i-got-the-d-rank-personnel-simul-chapter-327","global-survival-i-got-the-d-rank-personnel-simul-chapter-326",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-i-got-the-d-rank-personnel-simul-cover.jpg"]
