Chapter 1448 Postman's Code
A dark forest slowly appeared before Chen Mu and his companion.
At the same time, Chen Mu and his companion both smelled a rotten, abandoned odor.
Not far from the forest, there stands a dilapidated three-story building.
The small house looked dilapidated, with peeling paint on the exterior walls, giving it a weathered and run-down appearance.
From the outside, it looks like an abandoned post office.
Just then, Xiaoye suddenly touched Chen Mu, gently brushing his buttocks with the back of her hand.
Chen Mu turned to look at him, and Xiao Ye pointed to the right, "Boss, there are... two more people over there."
Chen Mu looked in the direction Xiao Ye was pointing, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Sure enough, in the direction Xiaoye pointed, stood two people dressed in modern clothes, their expressions somewhat panicked, but trying to appear calm.
One man and one woman!
The two stood to Chen Mu's right rear. Chen Mu had been observing the post office and hadn't looked behind him. In addition, Xiao Ye was standing on his right, blocking Chen Mu's view.
If Xiaoye hadn't reminded him, Chen Mu probably wouldn't have noticed.
Judging from their clothing and expressions, the man and woman are likely also players.
At this moment, the man and woman also saw Chen Mu.
The two men walked over, and the four of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You two... are also here for a bizarre mission?" Chen Mu asked first.
Xiaoye, who was standing to the side, was also a little surprised and looked the man and woman up and down.
Xiaoye was surprised, which is understandable.
After all, Xiaoye just said that the entrance to this eerie scene is in space.
Moreover, there are three layers of security, making it absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to get in.
Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any other players besides him and the boss.
These two players who also came to do the weird quests are really intriguing.
The man was wearing a padded jacket, and the woman was wearing short sleeves; they came from different seasons.
"Yeah. Looks like we're all in the same boat, kindred spirits." The man was quite humorous, cracking a joke.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it, trying to appear calm.
His slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner nervousness.
Judging from his tattered clothes, he must be a person from a period of chaos after the bizarre apocalypse.
The woman wasn't much better; she wore gold earrings and dressed quite fashionably, looking every bit the wealthy lady.
To be honest, this woman's attire is more like that of a sophisticated urban woman in a peaceful era before a bizarre apocalypse.
Chen Mu had a brief conversation with the two women; the man was named Hong Wenli, and the woman was named Lin Shanshan.
The backgrounds of the two people were exactly as Chen Mu had guessed.
The woman said she was shopping when suddenly everyone around her disappeared, and she found herself there.
However, her father was from the Stormline, so he was familiar with the eerie scene and did not panic and scream.
The man said he was in a bizarre apocalypse and was planning to smash up a store and steal some cigars.
As a result, I didn't manage to get a cigar, and I was teleported here the moment I stepped into the store.
"I guess I'm just unlucky!" the man said, spitting out a curse.
Chen Mu turned to look at Xiao Ye. It seemed that this strange scene was quite eerie, able to bring in different players from different times and spaces.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, as a "newspaper office," this strange scene seems to have some ability to connect different spaces.
From the perspective of the bizarre BOSS, it would be a real shame not to use such abilities to trick a few unlucky guys.
The four players fell silent, and an uneasy atmosphere permeated the quiet, abandoned post office.
It was clear that everyone was a little nervous.
Chen Mu took the lead and said, "Standing here isn't going to solve anything. Let's go take a look at the abandoned post office."
No one objected, and everyone followed behind Chen Mu. The four of them cautiously walked towards the post office.
As soon as I approached the post office, a flock of black crows took flight from the nearby forest.
The cawing sounds rang in everyone's ears, sounding like mockery or a wail.
Lin Shanshan was startled and screamed.
Hong Wenli remained relatively calm, but the hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.
Chen Mu wasn't frightened, but he had a vague feeling that this strange scene was not simple!
The group arrived outside the post office and began to observe the building from the outside.
The door to the abandoned post office was tightly shut, and the windows were also tightly closed. The inside of the windows was covered with a layer of dust, so it was impossible to see inside from the outside.
Xiaoye tried to pull on the door lock, but the abandoned lock was very sturdy and she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried.
"Boss, the door won't open," Xiao Ye whispered.
"It's okay, let's look again."
As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, he saw a mailbox standing in front of the post office.
This type of mailbox is somewhat similar to the box on a pillar outside a house in a movie.
Compared to the abandoned post office, this mailbox looks quite new.
There was some rust on the mailbox.
"Go and have a look."
Chen Mu led the group toward the standing mailbox.
Upon getting closer, Chen Mu noticed that what was on the mailbox wasn't rust at all, but... mottled bloodstains!
The bloodstains had congealed over time, turning a dark reddish-black color.
In the forest at night, it looked like rust.
As they approached the mailbox, lines of blood-red text finally appeared before Chen Mu and his companions:
Welcome, new postmen.
Being a postman here is no easy job. To survive and leave, you need to follow the postman's code.
The blood-red lettering faded here and began to slowly disappear.
Chen Mu noticed that there was a piece of paper on the top of the mailbox.
He stepped forward, took the letter down, and opened it in front of everyone.
Inside the letter were several lines of blood-red writing.
Postman's Code
1. The delivery is considered successful only if the letter is delivered to the designated recipient.
2. It is forbidden to pry into customer privacy or view [letters] without authorization. If a [letter] is opened without permission, the person associated with it will die.
3: After affixing the stamp to the surface of the letter, the letter will be automatically delivered.
4. Successfully completing one delivery is sufficient to pass the postman's performance evaluation.
Compared to other rule-based bizarre scenarios, there are often seven or eight, or even more than ten, rules.
The postman's rules in "The Death Postman" are very short and concise, consisting of only four articles.
Chen Mu only glanced at it, but he memorized it all.
Xiaoye was the same; the two of them were clearly well-trained.
Hong Wenli read it two or three times to make sure he hadn't missed anything. He must have done rule-based work before, but he didn't have much experience.
As for Lin Shanshan, she read it several times and kept reciting it to memorize it.
Finally, after Lin Shanshan finished reading it, the "Postman's Rules" were put back in their original place, and the four of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Where exactly is the letter mentioned in this rule?" Hong Wenli asked.
