Having a two-meter-tall mother was great. With just a couple of slaps, she sent nearby cars flying and dragged out the flattened delivery vehicle. Before leaving, she scolded Gu Mian with grave concern.

"All you do is bring rubbish home all day long. No matter how much you clean, it never ends."

"If you bring any more junk home, I'll throw you out along with it."

After saying these words, she left with a look of disgust.

This mother is just too unintelligent, Gu Mian thought. He hadn't been bringing home any garbage. Recently, he had only brought home Mr. Green and three men who tried to rob Mr. Green. Could it be that these four were considered trash? It seems I'll have to find time to ask about instances related to the exam and see if I can upgrade Mother. Maybe she'll become a bit smarter.

Fatty was now squatting down to look at the "vehicle pancake" Mom had tossed on the ground.

It was a three-wheeled electric vehicle. The part behind the cab had been completely crushed out of shape, and the rear delivery compartment had become a tightly pressed mass.

But the colorful paint on the outside of the delivery compartment hadn't been completely scraped off, so one could vaguely make out the words on it.

"Bird Thief Logistics... your peerless choice..." Fatty struggled to decipher the blurred words on the compartment. "What company is Bird Thief Logistics? How come I've never heard of it?"

Gu Mian's voice came from the side, "It should be Squid Logistics."

"Ah, yes, you're right. My bad, it's Squid Logistics. I misread it," Fatty said, scratching his head as he looked at the wrecked compartment. "But I've also never heard of Squid Logistics. I've made deliveries part-time before, and I've never come across this company. Have you, Doctor?"

Of course, I've heard of it. In fact, I only recently heard about it.

"Squid Logistics..." Chu Changge said from the side, "We encountered it in the last instance."

The delivery note they snatched from Wang Napao belonged to Squid Logistics. After they used the delivery note, it disappeared on its own.

Squid Logistics was a company from an instance. This delivery vehicle, belonging to Squid Logistics, had been placed here at the very beginning of the global instance.

Fatty's mouth fell open in surprise. "Are you referring to the instance with the online dating on our phones? Ah, so Squid Logistics is a logistics company from within an instance! That explains why I've never seen it before."

"Since Squid Logistics is a company from an instance, there's a good chance this vehicle is the Key to a special instance. But now that it's flattened... I'm not sure if we can still use it."

Moreover, this vehicle had previously been ransacked by Gu Mian, so there wasn't much cargo left.

"Let's pry this compartment open and see." Gu Mian also squatted down and started working on the flattened compartment. "Let's peel back the outer layer of the compartment and see if anything was left inside."

Fatty hurriedly put on the gloves he had just taken off. "But... Doctor, even if something was left inside, wouldn't it be all flattened? I know for a fact that if I receive a flattened package, I'd get mad and return it."

"It's fine," Gu Mian said, struggling to separate the two walls of the compartment that were pressed together. "We can just say the package was flat when we received it, and it isn't our fault. As long as we reason with them, the customer won't give us a hard time."

As he spoke, he gave a sudden hard pull, lifting a metal plate. The items trapped between the plates were now visible.

Fatty silently looked at the objects revealed under the metal plate. "It looks like we don't have to deliver ninety-nine packages after all..."

There was almost nothing left inside the flat compartment, only a pillow-sized delivery bag.

Gu Mian picked up the delivery bag and shook it—the items inside were long gone.

Luckily, the delivery bag was still mostly intact, and the recipient's address label on it was still there. Gu Mian looked at the address on this package and, to his surprise, it was the one he had privately mocked before: "Lianhua Hospital, underground morgue, turn left at the entrance, seventh tier, ninth body storage cabinet from the left."

Gu Mian had opened this package before; it had contained a vacuum-packed quilt.

At the time, they only needed food, so they had put the package aside.

Later, when the global cooling occurred, someone else must have come along and taken the quilt for warmth.

The cardboard delivery box could also be burned for warmth. People had stripped this delivery vehicle bare, leaving only this empty delivery bag. If Gu Mian hadn't accidentally crushed the delivery compartment while driving the Spirit Car, this bag would probably have been taken as well.

"Doctor, I remember you work at this hospital. You must know your way around the morgue, right?" Fatty moved closer, studying the address on the delivery slip.

"I do know where the morgue is. But isn't it a bit inappropriate to go with just an empty delivery bag?" Regardless, this is the only address I have right now. Gu Mian decided to try delivering to this corpse first.

He would deliver one first to test the waters and figure out what to do with the remaining ninety-eight packages later.

Since the quilt from the bag was missing, Gu Mian returned to his apartment and, under Fatty's aggrieved gaze, took Fatty's quilt.

Considering the recipient didn't seem like a normal person, he didn't bring Fatty and Chu Changge along. Instead, he only took Xiao Hong to help him carry the quilt.

Xiao Hong, thinking Gu Mian was taking her out to play, merrily followed behind him, carrying the quilt.

Fatty stood at the apartment window, watching Gu Mian and Xiao Hong recede into the distance. "Is it really okay to let Doctor go alone? What if the corpse refuses the delivery, and Doctor flies into a rage and tries to saw them up? If we're not there, there'll be no one to stop him."

Chu Changge only gave him a glance and said nothing.

Fatty was used to Chu Changge's silence. Without waiting for Chu Changge to interject, Fatty began to quietly pray by the window, "I hope Doctor's delivery goes smoothly this time."

Gu Mian and Xiao Hong quickly arrived at the hospital entrance.

Xiao Hong originally thought Gu Mian was taking her somewhere nice. Upon seeing the hospital, she immediately became disappointed, her mouth turning down, making her already unattractive face seem more twisted.

"Let's go," Gu Mian said to Xiao Hong behind him, then headed into the hospital.

He had worked in this hospital for a considerable time when the global game started, so he naturally knew where the underground morgue was.

But after the game started, the underground morgue must have lost power. The corpses inside have probably all rotted by now.

Gu Mian soon went down the stairs to the second basement level, where their morgue was located.

The entrance to the morgue was a heavy iron door, usually locked. There were no signs on the door, so from the outside, one couldn't tell it was a morgue. To the side, there was a small room where the person on duty could sleep.

Now, this heavy iron door was ajar. Gu Mian guessed that after the global game started, someone trying to loot the place had smashed the lock open.

Gu Mian entered the room with Xiao Hong. The first thing he saw were rows upon rows of large refrigerated cabinets for storing corpses.

The room was surprisingly tidy, showing no signs of having been ransacked.

Presumably, whoever came to loot the place must have been dumbfounded upon seeing rows of body-storage cabinets and fled in terror.

He recalled the address: "Lianhua Hospital, underground morgue, turn left at the entrance, seventh tier, ninth corpse refrigerator from the left."

Gu Mian, keeping the address in mind, looked to his left as soon as he entered. There was a wall of refrigerated cabinets stretching almost to the ceiling.

He counted upwards to the seventh tier, then from left to right to the ninth cabinet, locating the one matching the delivery address.

This particular cabinet was tightly closed. It was impossible to tell if the occupant was male or female, human or ghost.

"Xiao Hong, pass me the quilt," Gu Mian said to Xiao Hong behind him.

Xiao Hong, her face gloomy, handed over the quilt. She didn't think this place was fun at all.

Gu Mian held the quilt in one arm and, with his other hand, righted a ladder that had fallen in the corner—the seventh tier was quite high up, so he needed the ladder to reach it.

He quickly climbed the ladder to the designated cabinet. It looked no different from the others around it; from the outside, there was no way to tell what the recipient inside looked like.

However, a label on the cabinet door displayed the occupant's information:

Name: Cao Zhenleng

Gender: Male

Age: 21

What an apt name.

Adhering to the professional ethics of a delivery courier, Gu Mian coughed twice in front of this cabinet, then knocked on its door. "Mr. Cao, your delivery has arrived."
