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

Huang Tang was somewhat surprised.

How come this kid is still safe and sound after exploring all by himself?

The young man approached enthusiastically: "Brother, what are you looking for? I've almost searched the entire castle, maybe I know."

Liu Lingqing nudged Huang Tang's arm: "Why don't we ask him? If we keep looking, I'm afraid we won't have enough time."

Huang Tang thought for a moment and asked, "We're looking for the entrance to the basement. Do you know where it is?"

The young man's eyes lit up: "I know!"

Huang Tang: "Are you sure?"

He thought it was a bit of a coincidence!

"Absolutely sure!" the young man patted his chest. "I've walked around this area three times already, and I've gone into every door except the basement."

Huang Tang asked curiously, "Why didn't you go down and check what was inside?"

If this kid has already gone down there, the supply point may have already been emptied.

The young man scratched his head sheepishly: "I'm afraid of the dark. It's too dark down there; even with a flashlight, you can't see the bottom. I'm too scared to go down."

Afraid of the dark?

Huang Tang remained vigilant: "Isn't it just as dark inside the castle?"

The young man shook his head: "It's different. Here, at least some light can shine in, but over there it's like a black hole."

Huang Tang smiled to himself.

Young man!

It's good that you didn't go in.

Otherwise I might kill and rob!

However, before that, Huang Tang wondered if he should deal with the five rats that were following him first.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet?" Huang Tang asked as they walked.

"Ji Bai," the young man said with a grin, "Ji as in season, Bai as in pine and cypress. And you, brother?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't!"

"profound……"

Ji Bai was a chatterbox; he kept talking the whole way.

From how I entered the game, to how I found resources, and then to entering this portal...

Everything, big or small, was revealed.

Huang Tang heard the gist of the story, which was partly true and partly false, but at least one thing was certain: this kid seemed to be quite lucky.

Led by Ji Bai through a maze of twists and turns, the three of them soon arrived at a secluded room.

"This is it!" Ji Bai pointed to a row of bookshelves against the wall. "The secret door to the basement is behind it."

Huang Tang looked around, his brows furrowing slightly.

He and Liu Lingqing had been to this room before.

I only glanced at it and left without noticing anything unusual.

"How did you find out?" he asked Ji Bai.

Ji Bai scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I tripped and fell, bumping into the bookshelf, and then I heard a 'click' and the door opened."

Huang Tang: "..."

Liu Lingqing: "..."

How could you stumble and fall and hit a mechanism?

Looking at Ji Bai's innocent face, Huang Tang began to have some doubts.

Is this guy pretending to be weak while actually being strong, or is he really just an innocent little rabbit?

In any case, better safe than sorry.

Instead of rushing to open the hidden door, he took out his hunting rifle and handed it to Liu Lingqing.

"Take it."

Liu Lingqing took the gun: "What's wrong?"

Huang Tang pointed at Ji Bai: "Keep an eye on him. If he makes any suspicious movements, don't hesitate, just shoot."

Ji Bai's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down, covering his head with his hands: "Big brother, I promise! I absolutely won't move! I'll even keep my breathing quiet!"

Liu Lingqing suppressed a laugh and pointed her gun at him.

"Where are you going?" she asked Huang Tang.

"Go and get rid of those rats." Huang Tang cracked his knuckles. "The supply depot is down below, and I don't want any accidents to happen."

Liu Lingqing nodded: "Be careful."

Huang Tang walked out of the room.

Five figures were sneaking around in the corridor.

As soon as they turned the corner, they saw Huang Tang standing in the middle of the corridor, arms crossed, looking at them.

"Oh, what a coincidence," Huang Tang said with a smile. "Did anyone else notice?"

The five-person group's expressions changed, but they quickly regained their composure.

Scarface forced a smile: "Brother, what a coincidence. What have you found over here? Bring the brothers along!"

Huang Tang shook his head: "Didn't find anything. But you guys, weren't you tired after following me all this way?"

Scarface's smile froze.

Now that he'd been seen through, he stopped pretending. He straightened up and his tone hardened: "Brother, we're only after your money, not your life. Lead us to the magic mirror, and we'll guarantee your safe departure."

Huang Tang sighed: "I'm sorry, I don't know where the magic mirror is."

"You don't know?" Scarface asked incredulously. "Then what are you looking for?"

"Let's find supplies," Huang Tang said honestly. "Those magic mirrors, whoever wants them can have them."

Scarface's face darkened: "Do you think I believe that?"

Huang Tang was too lazy to waste any more words: "I'll say it one last time. Leave on your own, and I won't kill you."

The five of them looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.

"Just you alone?" the bald player laughed. "Bro, are you still half asleep?"

Huang Tang nodded: "Then there's nothing to discuss."

He moved as soon as he finished speaking.

A terrifying force erupted from his legs, and he was launched like a cannonball.

The three-meter distance was covered in an instant.

The short sword was drawn, its cold light flashing.

"puff--"

The blade pierced the heart of the player at the front.

The man looked down at the hilt of the knife in his chest, his eyes wide open, his mouth opened but he couldn't utter a single word before collapsing limply to the ground.

The corpse began to glow and coalesced into a treasure chest.

"You!" Scarface exclaimed in horror, "Attack him together! Kill him!"

The remaining four men drew their weapons and charged forward with a roar.

Huang Tang drew his short knife, dodged the first blow, and with a backhand slash, cut open the second person's throat.

Blood gushed out, and the man clutched his neck and knelt on the ground.

As the third man's knife came down, Huang Tang advanced instead of retreating, punching him in the chest.

"Click—"

The sound of the ribs breaking was frighteningly crisp.

The man was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and sliding to the ground, where he lay motionless.

Both the scarred-faced player and the bald player were stunned.

two seconds.

From the moment Huang Tang made his move until now, it has taken a maximum of two seconds.

Four people have already fallen.

"Monster...monster..." the bald player's voice trembled.

Scarface suddenly turned and ran, but after a couple of steps he looked back. The bald player had already been kicked away by Huang Tang and fell to the ground like a rag.

He ran forward as fast as he could.

Then, a tightness gripped the back of my neck, and I was lifted up.

"I told you," Huang Tang's voice rang in his ears, as calm as if he were talking about the weather, "leave on your own, I won't kill you."

"I was wrong! I was wrong! Spare my life!" Scarface begged desperately. "Take all my materials! Take my treasure chest!"

"Kill you, and all these things will be mine."

"——"

A flash of light appeared.

Scarface's voice stopped abruptly.

Huang Tang released his grip, and the corpse fell to the ground, turning into a treasure chest.

Five corpses, five treasure chests.

Huang Tang opened the treasure chests one by one and glanced at what was inside.

Steel, timber, concrete, food, water, and some other miscellaneous supplies.

Not a lot, but not a small amount either.

"You guys were looting the loot and didn't call me."

He sneered and put everything into the system space.
