Building a skyscraper to survive, all the female colleagues in the company begged me to carry them.

After sending the message, he closed the private messaging app.

He looked up and found that Cai Lin and Su Qing were looking at him with indescribable expressions.

"What's wrong?" Huang Tang asked innocently.

Chae Rim took a deep breath: "Don't you feel any remorse for lying to him like this?"

Su Qing nodded: "If he knew that you were the one who stole his supplies, he would probably come down the internet to kill you."

Huang Tang shrugged: "What did I lie to him about? It was all consensual!"

Chae Rim: "..."

Su Qing: "..."

Jiang Jing'an suddenly pounced on Huang Tang and hugged his neck tightly: "Brother Huang Tang! You're so naughty! I love you so much!"

As she spoke, she kissed Huang Tang on the cheek.

Not only was Huang Tang stunned, but the other women's expressions also changed.

No one expected that while they were still hesitating, Jiang Jing'an had already taken a big step forward!

Chae Rim watched this scene with an extremely complex expression.

She recalled her "Hehuan Many Blessings, Few Children System"...

There has been no sign of activation so far.

How can I feel incredibly happy?

If things continue like this, there's probably only one path left to take!

No!

Cai Lin secretly made up her mind that, in order to survive, she had to win over Huang Tang before Jiang Jing'an.

No matter what others think, she cannot be a third party!

"Everything is for survival, I'm not after men..."

Chae Rim glanced furtively at Hwang Tang in the group of women, her face growing increasingly red.

The other women also harbored their own agendas, because not only Chae Rim, but each of them possessed a hidden system waiting to be activated...

Since I'm going to become Huang Tang's woman sooner or later, shouldn't I strike first?

We can't let Jiang Jing'an keep taking the lead!

Huang Tang was unaware of the women's ulterior motives. He turned off the world channel and took out the bronze treasure chest he had found in the meat processing plant from his system space.

The yellow iron box lay quietly on the ground, its surface gleaming with a faint metallic sheen.

"Shall we open it now?" Jiang Jing'an leaned closer.

"Hmm." Huang Tang nodded. "Even though we don't have the [Good Luck] card anymore, let's try our luck."

He took a deep breath and opened the treasure chest.

A flash of golden light.

[Received: Three-story villa blueprint x1]

Huang Tang was stunned.

The women were also stunned.

then.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

The screams nearly blew the roof off.

"Blueprints! It's blueprints!"

"That's exactly what we need!"

"Huang Tang, you're so lucky!!!"

Huang Tang smiled, holding the blueprint, a huge weight finally lifted from his heart.

With the blueprints in hand, and enough materials available.

He immediately opened the homeowner's panel.

[Current House: Simple Two-Story Wooden House]

[Upgrade Goal: A sturdy three-story house]

[Upgrade?]

Huang Tang immediately clicked "Yes"!

A golden light rose from the entire house.

The entire wooden house began to shake violently, and the wooden planks disappeared one by one, replaced by solid brick walls.

The foundation was driven deeper into the ground, and the buildings were raised higher, completely replacing the original simple wooden structure.

The women gasped and steadied themselves, watching as everything around them changed.

The first floor became taller, the second floor became wider, and the third floor appeared out of thin air.

Windows appeared, stairs took shape, and the roof was completed.

A few minutes later, the vibration stopped.

The golden light dissipated.

They were already standing in a brand new three-story villa.

The walls were plastered with cement, the floor was poured with concrete, and the stairs were a sturdy brick and stone structure.

Although it was completely unfurnished and a bare shell, it was a world of difference compared to the previous wooden house.

The area has also expanded from 100 square meters to 300 square meters!

"This..." Bai Tao from the finance department murmured, "Is this our house?"

"A three-story villa..." Someone touched the wall, their eyes reddening.

From thatched cottages to wooden houses to villas…

"We survived..."

Several women hugged each other, crying and laughing at the same time.

Huang Tang stood aside, watching this scene, and a sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.

Just then, a loud mechanical sound rang out again:

[Server-wide Announcement!]

[Congratulations to player "Huang Tang" for becoming the first homeowner to upgrade their house to a three-story villa!]

[Announcement: New feature unlocked: Home Renovation!]

[Home Renovation: Homeowners can personalize the interior of their homes, including room layout, functional zoning, and decorating style. The materials required for the renovation depend on the specific renovation content.]

[We hope all players will keep up the good work! The flood won't stop, and neither will the building!]

The world channel is in an uproar again.

[Holy crap?! A three-story villa?!]

I just finished building my wooden house, and other people already have three-story villas?

Why is the gap between players widening so much when they're all players?!

[Looking for a mentor, Huang Tang! I'm a cute girl, I can handle any pose!]

[Upstairs, are you sure you're a cute girl? Post a picture!]

【roll!】

Huang Tang stared at the sign that said "Unlock any position," before he could even react, the twenty-four women behind him shouted in unison:

"unnecessary!!!"

The sound was so loud that it startled Huang Tang.

He turned around and saw twenty-four women staring intently at the world channel, their eyes filled with vigilance.

"How come..." he began.

"Huang Tang is ours!" someone announced.

"Yes, outsiders shouldn't even think about getting involved!"

"That cute little girl, tell her to go somewhere cool and stay there!"

Huang Tang: "..."

He only glanced at it!

Huang Tang shook his head, opened the homeowner panel, and found the newly unlocked [House Renovation] function.

A three-dimensional image emerged, which was a model of this three-story villa.

He can adjust the layout with his mind.

"Change what?" he asked.

"A bedroom!" Jiang Jing'an was the first to raise her hand. "I want a bedroom!"

"Yeah, we can't keep sleeping on the floor forever!"

Huang Tang nodded and began the operation.

Three floors, each floor is 100 square meters.

But the first floor was already flooded, and the second floor was not safe either, so the only floor that could be renovated was the third floor.

Ideally, it could be partitioned into about ten small single rooms.

But the problem is, we don't have enough materials!

He only had a little over a hundred units of timber left, and he had just used up most of his steel and cement.

In the end, he used the remaining wood to partition off more than a dozen wooden rooms on the third floor.

Each single room is only a few square meters, just enough to fit a mattress and some miscellaneous items.

The partition was made of thin wooden planks and offered no sound insulation whatsoever; you could hear your neighbor farting.

Apart from Huang Tang, the other two people shared a room.

[Renovation complete, consuming 107 wood]

Current remaining lumber: 50

Looking at the thin wooden wall, Huang Tang thought to himself, "If I want to do anything in the future, this wall is practically useless."

But now is not the time to think about that...

"You can choose your own rooms," he said.

The women cheered and began scrambling for rooms.

Jiang Jing'an snagged the room next to Huang Tang's, then poked her head out and winked at him: "Brother Huang Tang, we're neighbors."

Su Qing was a step too slow and could only grab the room opposite Jiang Jing'an's, which made her so angry that she stomped her feet.

Cai Lin stood in the corridor, watching these women argue over a wooden partition, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Just a few days ago, they were white-collar workers at the company, each with their own apartment and a refined lifestyle.

Now, a ten-square-meter wooden partition can make them this happy.

This is the end times.

She pushed open the door to her room, which was empty and small.

It was as rudimentary as it could be.

But she felt inexplicably at ease.

At least, I have a place to stay.

At least, I'm alive!

At dinner time, Huang Tang took out the meat he brought back from the zombie city and asked his female colleague, who had the talent of being a chef, to cook a sumptuous dinner.

Braised pork belly, stewed beef, meatball soup...

It's all meat.

The women ate with their mouths full of oil.

"This is so much better than when I used to order takeout!" someone exclaimed.

"Exactly! The house may be a bit small, but we get to eat meat, what more could we ask for?"

Huang Tang listened to their conversation, but he had no appetite.

He was thinking about the next upgrade to the house.

He wanted to rest, but stopping meant death!
