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

Huang Tang called Lan Mutang aside.

"I'll give you a copy of the blueprints for the thirteen-story building for free," he said.

Lan Mutang was taken aback: "Free?"

"Yes. But I have one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

Huang Tang pointed to the goblin caves in the distance: "All the treasure chests we find in the caves later are mine."

With white peaches, as long as you have enough low-quality treasure chests, you can synthesize high-quality ones.

So he desperately needs a treasure chest!

More is better!

After listening, Lan Mutang nodded without saying a word.

"What's a puppy's belongs to its owner," she said matter-of-factly. "Besides, I didn't contribute much to this battle. I took the blueprints, but I don't want anything from the cave."

Huang Tang took out a thirteen-layer blueprint from the system space and handed it to her.

"Upgrading to the thirteenth floor requires a lot of materials," he said. "You just upgraded the eighth floor; you should be short on materials, right?"

Lan Mutang put the blueprints away and smiled, "Don't worry, Master, I have other ways."

Huang Tang looked behind her; the more than one hundred goblins who had surrendered had now been taken as slaves by Lan Mutang.

With so many slaves, Lan Mutang's strength has increased significantly, and he really doesn't need to worry about them anymore.

There are less than twelve hours left before the Anywhere Door closes.

time does not wait.

Huang Tang divided the women into three groups, each responsible for a specific area, and they began searching the goblin caves one by one.

The number of goblin caves on this island is astonishing.

There are 112 small caves, 57 medium caves, and 1 large cave.

After searching 112 small caves, the haul was plentiful.

43 wooden crates, some food, some materials...

Timber, stone, iron ore, copper ore... Although the resources in a single cave are not many, they add up to a terrifying number.

The harvest from the fifty-seven caves was even more abundant!

22 bronze treasure chests, a bunch of food, a bunch of materials...

Huang Tang grinned as he collected the items.

Although the Anywhere Door is very difficult this time, the rewards are absolutely unprecedented.

These treasure chests alone were enough to delight him, not to mention the mountains of supplies and materials!

The materials are more than enough to upgrade a thirteen-story building.

You could even say they are extremely wealthy!

Various kinds of food were also replenished in large quantities.

The goblins' stockpiled food, cured meat, and dried fruit, though not of great quality, were plentiful.

Huang Tang took a deep breath.

There's still that last big cave we haven't searched.

That is, the Goblin King's lair!

Huang Tang led the women to the Goblin King's lair in the center of the island.

The enormous cave resembles a gaping mouth.

The air was filled with a putrid stench that made people nauseous!

They went inside, and the light from their flashlights illuminated the interior of the cave.

The cave was larger than I had imagined, resembling a simple palace.

The stone walls are covered with rough murals depicting scenes of goblins hunting, fighting, and performing sacrifices.

In the innermost corner, there was a huge iron cage.

Dozens of women were locked in cages.

They were ragged, emaciated, with disheveled hair, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Upon hearing footsteps, all the women huddled together, trembling.

But when they realized that it wasn't goblins coming, but human players like themselves, their expressions changed from fear to shock, and from shock to ecstasy!

"Someone's coming!"

"Help! Help us!"

"Please, let us out!"

Cries, shouts, and pleas for help mingled together, echoing through the cave.

Huang Tang raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, then shot the lock on the iron cage.

"Come out. You're safe now."

The women crawled out of the cages; some collapsed to the ground and wept, some huddled together and trembled, and some knelt directly in front of Huang Tang and kowtowed.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"You're such a good person! You're our savior!"

Huang Tang was getting a headache from their crying, so he asked Cai Lin and the others to go over and comfort them.

Once the female players had calmed down a bit, Huang Tang walked over to them, looked at them, and asked:

"Who among you is the homeowner?"

Three women stood up from the crowd.

Although they were also in a sorry state, their eyes were calmer than the others.

Huang Tang nodded and said to the three homeowners, "You can allocate the land freely and let others join your houses. I will give you some supplies, and you can walk the rest of the way on your own."

Before the three homeowners could even speak, the other women became agitated.

"No! We don't want to go!"

"Our house was flooded long ago! Going back would just mean certain death!"

"Please, please take us in! We can do anything!"

"Yes, please! We don't want to die!"

They knelt down again and kept kowtowing.

Huang Tang frowned.

He already has twenty-four women with him. If he were to suddenly add another fifty or so, the food consumption and management difficulties would increase exponentially.

Living in the apocalypse is not the time to be a pushover.

Helping others is fine, but you can't get yourself involved!

Just as he was about to refuse, Lan Mutang came out from behind.

"Master, let them come with me."

Huang Tang turned to look at her: "You're already under a lot of pressure. Over a hundred goblin slaves, plus these fifty-odd people, can you handle it?"

Lan Mutang smiled, a smile that exuded an indescribable confidence.

"Because my talent is that of a 'Queen,'" she said. "The more slaves I have, the stronger I become. They are not a burden, but my strength."

She turned to look at the female players, her smile vanishing, replaced by an air of superior authority.

Listen up, everyone.

Her voice, every word carrying an irresistible power, said, "You now have two choices."

"First, let them fend for themselves. Take some supplies and find their own way."

"Second, become my slaves. From this day forward, I am your queen."

"You will lose your freedom, your dignity, and your sense of self. But I will give you a place to live, and I will help you live until the end of the world!"

She paused, her gaze sweeping across everyone's face.

Choose.

The cave remained quiet for a long time.

The women looked at each other in bewilderment.

The first option is death.

The second option is... to lose your freedom.

But at least, I'm alive!

Finally, a woman came out.

She walked up to Lan Mutang, knelt down on both knees, and pressed her forehead to the ground.

"My Queen!"

Once there's a first one, there's a second, a third, a fourth...

One by one, the women knelt down and prostrated themselves at Lan Mutang's feet.

Lan Mutang stood there, looking down from above.

Watching this scene, Huang Tang suddenly felt that Lan Mutang had changed.

It's not that she's become stronger, but rather that her aura has changed!

The Lan Mutang of the past was like a little girl wearing a crown, imitating adults by giving orders.

The current Lan Mutang is a true queen!

After everyone knelt down, Lan Mutang turned to look at Huang Tang, a slight smile playing on her lips.

That smile held both the puppy's affection and the queen's pride.

Having settled the female player's situation, Huang Tang began plundering the Goblin King's lair.

This harvest was greater than all the previous caves combined.

11 Silver Treasure Chests!

There were also large quantities of cured meat, dried food, dried fruit, and alcohol...

Large quantities of steel, timber, stone, fabric...
