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

Huang Tang suddenly sat up.

All the women woke up.

"monster?!"

"What monster?!"

"What do we do?! What do we do?!"

Screams erupted, and chaos ensued in the darkness.

"Don't panic!" Huang Tang said in a deep voice, taking out a military crossbow from his system space, and getting out of bed. "Everyone, back up against the wall!"

He rushed to the window and peered out through the gaps in the wooden planks.

The water shimmered softly in the moonlight, as calm as a mirror.

But something is moving underwater.

The dark shadows flashed by, moving very fast.

Countdown: 50 seconds.

40 seconds.

30 seconds.

Huang Tang gripped the crossbow tightly, his palms sweating profusely.

20 seconds.

10 seconds.

5、4、3、2、1……

"Splash—"

A face suddenly pressed against the window.

With bluish-gray skin, bulging eyes, and a mouth full of densely packed sharp teeth, his mouth stretched from the corners of his lips to his ears.

"ah--!!!"

The screams exploded instantly.

Several women's legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.

Some people covered their eyes, too afraid to look, while others huddled together, heads in their hands.

Even the usually composed Chae Rim was stunned, her pupils dilated, and her body froze on the spot.

Those are merfolk!

Completely unlike the legendary mermaids, this creature had a ferocious appearance, was soaking wet, had webbed fingers, and long, sharp nails. It was staring intently at the people inside the house with its dead fish eyes.

"Bang!"

It started smashing the windows.

The wooden window frame shook violently.

Huang Tang raised his crossbow and aimed at the ugly face.

"Go to hell!"

Pull the trigger.

"Whoosh—"

The crossbow bolt pierced the air, heading straight for the merman's head.

But the first time I used a crossbow, my aim was a little off.

"puff!"

The arrow pierced the mermaid's shoulder.

"roar--!!!"

The merman let out a mournful roar and smashed the window even more frantically.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The wooden plank broke.

The next second, the merman crawled in through the window, his mouth full of sharp teeth lunging at Huang Tang.

"Load the arrows!" Huang Tang tossed the crossbow to Cai Lin. "Quick!"

He grabbed the tool hammer he had brought back from the warehouse and faced the merman.

Jiang Jing'an screamed, "Brother Huang Tang, be careful!"

Huang Tang could not hear.

His world consisted only of the monster before him.

The serum-modified body erupted completely at this moment.

He could see every subtle movement of the merman, the trajectory of its bite, and the angle at which its claws gripped.

I sidestepped and dodged it.

Swing the hammer.

"Bang!"

The hammer smashed into the mermaid's face.

For an ordinary person, this blow would at most force them to retreat one step.

But Huang Tang's hammer blow sent the merman flying sideways, crashing into the wall.

The wooden house shook.

The merman got up, half of his face was dented, but he was still alive and pounced again in a frenzy.

Instead of retreating, Huang Tang advanced and delivered another blow.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Each hammer blow carries immense power.

"eighty!"

"eighty!"

"eighty!"

"Done!"

After three blows, the merman's head was no longer recognizable, drooping limply. Its body twitched twice and finally stopped moving.

The room was deathly silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.

Huang Tang stood in front of the merman's corpse, holding an ordinary-looking hammer in his hand, the hammerhead stained with bluish-black blood.

He was panting heavily, his muscles tense, like a god of death!

The crossbow in Chae Rim's hand was not yet loaded with arrows.

From the moment Huang Tang threw the crossbow to her until now, only a dozen seconds have passed.

She hadn't even had a chance to make a move.

The battle is over!

"This..." someone stammered, "Is this even human?"

"He single-handedly... killed the monster?"

"With that broken hammer?"

Jiang Jing'an was the first to react, screaming as she rushed over: "Brother Huang Tang is so handsome!!!"

She hugged Huang Tang tightly, completely ignoring the blood on his body.

The other women also came to their senses, and their gazes towards Huang Tang completely changed.

If before I only thought he was reliable, now...

Is this a god?

They are their only support in this apocalypse!

Just then, the mechanical voice sounded again:

[Server-wide Announcement!]

[Congratulations to player "Huang Tang" for becoming the first room owner to kill the merman!]

[Announcement: One "Anywhere Door Card" will be awarded as a reward!]

[Anywhere Door Card: Allows you to open the Anywhere Door once after it has closed, or to enter the Anywhere Door twice on the same day. A rare item; please use it wisely.]

Huang Tang was stunned.

Anywhere Door Card?

Can I enter the Anywhere Door twice a day?

This thing... seems even more valuable than a bronze treasure chest?

Before he could think about it, a message notification rang in his ears from the world channel.

He clicked on it and took a look.

World Channel

"Holy crap!!! Someone killed a merman?!"

"What kind of incredible move is this?! My three teammates have already been dragged into the water by the merfolk!"

"Huang Tang? Is he the big shot who was the first to upgrade his house?"

"Hey boss, please take me on! I'll be your slave! I'll offer you my ass!"

"Help!!! The merfolk are still banging on my door!!! Someone please help me!!!"

My condolences to the person upstairs; I'm almost at my breaking point too...

"Tag Huang Tang, hey pro, please share your kill tips!!! I'm a popular female celebrity, I can grant you any request!"

"Yes, yes, yes, please teach me, expert!!!"

Huang Tang glanced at it but didn't reply.

experience?

The experience is to eat the serum and then smash it to death with a hammer.

This is an experience that others can't learn!

He turned off the world chat and discovered that all his female colleagues were watching him.

To be precise, it's all around him!

The women who had been huddled in the corner before had now unknowingly gathered around him, with the closest ones less than half a meter away.

Even Chae Rim stood within three steps of him!

Everyone wore a strange expression.

It was the relief of surviving a disaster, and also a deep dependence on this man.

The closer you are to Huang Tang in this room, the safer you feel!

"You..." Huang Tang began.

"Brother Huang Tang, are you tired?"

Jiang Jing'an was the first to rush over, pulling out a towel from somewhere and wiping his sweat.

"Let me massage your shoulders!"

Another female colleague immediately came over and put her small hand on his shoulder.

"Your hand is injured!" the third female colleague shrieked. "Let me bandage it for you!"

Huang Tang looked down and saw that there was indeed a cut on his hand, he didn't know when he had made it.

Then three people simultaneously reached out with their belongings.

"Use my cloth!"

"I have disinfectant here!"

"Bandage it up first!"

Surrounded by others, Huang Tang was unsure who to deal with first.

Su Qing was holding a bottle of mineral water and was about to squeeze through when she found that she couldn't get in anymore.

Jiang Jing'an was at the very back, wiping sweat on her left and rubbing her shoulders on her right, busy as a bee.

Other female colleagues crowded around, offering their flattery and attention.

Su Qing stood on the outside, gripping the mineral water bottle in her hand tightly.

My knuckles turned white from squeezing so hard.

It's Jiang Jing'an again.

It's always Jiang Jing'an.

She took a deep breath and secretly vowed that tomorrow, she would definitely take Huang Tang back!
