Seraphina Sullivan cautiously approached the RV, which was parked incongruously in the middle of the spider’s territory.
The dusty RV was covered in rust, with tattered spiderwebs clinging to its frame. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
But its very presence here was inexplicably bizarre.
’Could it be related to the Spider Queen? Didn’t Cheryl Chase say all Insect Speakers used to be human?’
Seraphina mused.
The RV’s exterior was rusted, and its windows were caked in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs, making it look long-abandoned.
A Silver Needle materialized in Seraphina’s hand as she cautiously pulled the RV door open.
The door creaked open.
"Huh?"
To her surprise, the interior of the RV was remarkably well-preserved, a stark contrast to its dilapidated exterior.
Though covered in a thin layer of dust, its overall structure was intact and it was fully equipped with living amenities.
A simple cot, a small kitchen, and even a functioning bathroom.
To her delight, she found several boxes of unopened canned food and bottled water stacked in a corner.
This proved someone had actually lived here before.
’With a little cleaning, this place is livable...’ Seraphina’s eyes lit up, a faint smile finally breaking through her exhaustion.
She had been looking for a safe place to get through her first day in this instance.
She glanced up at the sky outside.
Although the sky of this world was perpetually shrouded in an eerie red mist, the light had grown noticeably dimmer, signaling that "night" was approaching.
After her fierce battle with the Spider Queen, her ribs were injured and her stamina was nearly depleted. She desperately needed to rest.
"This RV is a real godsend," Seraphina murmured.
The RV had appeared at the perfect moment; it was practically a tailor-made shelter just for her.
She first inspected every corner of the RV. Once she confirmed there were no hidden dangers, she started cleaning.
She took a clean sheet from her Space to make the bed and used a rag she found to wipe away the dust.
As she cleaned, Seraphina discovered the vehicle was very well-equipped—it even had a solar power generator.
’Looks like someone specially modified this RV...’
Seraphina noticed that steel plates had been added for protection, along with a simple ventilation and filtration system—all clearly preparations for surviving in the red-misted world.
Once she finished cleaning, she took out her medical kit to treat her injury.
Her ribs were painful, but thankfully, they weren’t completely broken.
She took out the Universal Syringe and gave herself a shot to numb the pain. The ache in her body immediately subsided.
’Time to get some energy...’ Seraphina opened a can of beef and wolfed it down, washing it down with bottled water.
After eating her fill, she took out a Power Apple and studied it closely in her hand.
’Should I eat it now...?’ She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately returned the fruit to her Space.
She was in an unfamiliar environment; it would be dangerous if she had a severe reaction after eating it.
’Better to wait until I’m somewhere safer.’
’Like after this instance is over? Or at least when my surroundings are secure.’
Night fell completely, and the world within the red mist grew even more sinister and terrifying.
The howls of mutated creatures echoed in the distance, but the area around the RV remained eerily quiet, as if protected by some invisible force.
Still, it was unnerving to rest in the territory of giant spiders.
Seraphina carefully surveyed the RV. She realized it was a moderate size—just small enough to fit inside her Space Equipment.
