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

The young woman's body visibly stiffened for a moment.

She swallowed hard, her voice trembling, "We...we have no idea where we are."

She suddenly knelt down, her forehead pressed against the sand, her voice choked with sobs: "My daughter and I haven't eaten or drunk anything for three days."

"Please, save us."

The girl also knelt down, her small body trembling.

The women fell silent.

Huang Tang looked at the mother and daughter and remained silent for a few seconds.

He took out two bottles of water, some bread, and some sausages from the system space and handed them over.

"Let's talk after we finish eating."

The young woman took the food, her hands trembling so much she could barely hold it.

She handed the water to her daughter, tore open a loaf of bread, and stuffed it into her mouth in large bites, eating in a disheveled but restrained manner.

Huang Tang stood to the side, arms crossed, expressionless.

"After you finish eating, I hope you will answer my questions truthfully."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing you."

The atmosphere on the beach instantly plummeted to freezing point.

None of the women spoke.

They knew Huang Tang wasn't joking.

The young woman's hand froze in mid-air, and the bread almost fell.

She raised her head, looked into Huang Tang's eyes, her lips moved, and finally she slowly nodded.

"it is good."

After the young woman and her daughter finished eating, their complexions improved significantly.

Bread and water filled the void of the past three days, and my lips were no longer chapped.

The young woman forced herself to remain calm and looked at Huang Tang: "Go ahead and ask."

Huang Tang sat down opposite her, his arms crossed, his tone unhurried:

"Tell me your entire experience since you entered this game. Don't rush, I have time to listen to you slowly."

He wanted to use this method to see if the other person was lying.

A person can make up a story, but the more details there are, the more flaws there are.

The longer the timeline, the easier it is for contradictions to surface!

The young woman took a deep breath and began to tell her story.

"My name is Ruan Wenyan, and I am a single mother."

She hugged the girl beside her tightly, "This is my daughter, Ruan Wei."

"We live in an old residential building, and all the neighbors in the building were teleported into this game together."

"The group started in a thatched hut, with a dozen or so people, young and old."

"At the beginning, everyone worked together to find supplies and upgrade houses through the portal. Although a few people died, it went relatively smoothly."

Ruan Wenyan's voice became low:

"Until three days ago, we went through a portal and arrived at an island full of giant pythons."

Huang Tang raised an eyebrow.

Python Island? Another dungeon I've never heard of.

"The giant python isn't the scariest thing."

Ruan Wenyan's lips trembled. "Our landlord... is a middle-aged man in his forties. He used his landlord privileges to try to force himself on us..."

She paused, then lowered her voice even further: "And my daughter."

The women's expressions changed.

I couldn't help but call him a "scumbag"!

Fortunately, their homeowner is Huang Tang, who never uses his authority as homeowner to force them to do things they don't like!

"I ran away with my daughter, and we reached the edge of a cliff. Below was the vast ocean," Ruan Wenyan said, her body trembling. "But I had no choice. Knowing it was a dead end, I still jumped off with my daughter in my arms."

"There was a plank on the edge of the cliff, and we held onto it and floated in the sea for three days and three nights."

"I thought I was going to die, but I never expected... to meet you all."

Ruan Wenyan raised her head, looked at Huang Tang, her eyes red-rimmed: "I really didn't lie! Please give us a way out!"

She realized that the young man was the leader of the group and must be the homeowner.

Huang Tang did not answer immediately.

He was thinking.

If Ruan Wenyan's words are true, then it means that the different worlds led to by the different Anywhere Doors are spatially connected.

Python Island and Goblin Island may be in the same ocean, but they are very far apart.

If he had a direction and a speedboat, he could even find the giant python island.

But that's not possible right now.

Ruan Wenyan had been adrift at sea for three days and had long since lost his bearings.

Moreover, time doesn't allow it.

Today is the last day that Goblin Island is open, and there are only a few hours left before the Anywhere Door closes.

"There's another problem."

Huang Tang spoke up, "You didn't return to the house within the stipulated time. Didn't the system say that unknown monsters would be chasing you? Didn't you encounter them?"

Ruan Wenyan shook his head: "Perhaps it's because we left the island's boundaries? We didn't encounter anything while we were adrift at sea."

"What about in the sea? Are there any mermaids there?"

"No, not at all."

Huang Tang remained silent for a while.

Is the ocean safe inside the Anywhere Door? Are there no merfolk there?

This game is far too vast and complex; the information they have uncovered so far is merely the tip of the iceberg!

……

Huang Tang stood up, took out a bag of food and a box of water from the system space, and placed them in front of Ruan Wenyan.

"I won't kill you," he said, "but I don't want to take you in either."

"This food and water should last you a while. Good luck."

Ruan Wenyan's face turned pale instantly.

She knew that in this survival game, without a place to stay, death was inevitable sooner or later.

Just because they were able to drift at sea for three days without encountering any monsters doesn't mean they'll always be this lucky.

She gritted her teeth and made a decision.

"If you're willing to take my daughter and me in," she looked up at Huang Tang, her face slightly flushed, "I can be your woman."

Ruan Wenyan considered herself to be quite attractive.

The woman, in her early forties, was charming and had a voluptuous figure, not inferior to the young girls around her.

However, Huang Tang just smiled.

"I'm not short of women," he said. "If this is all you're good for, then leave."

Ruan Wenyan was stunned.

She never expected that a man would reject her.

The gazes of the women around her felt like needles piercing her, and she was so ashamed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.

But for her daughter's sake, she had to seize this opportunity!

"I have other cards to play!"

She quickly said, "My talent is purification. With me here, there will never be any water problems."

She picked up an empty mineral water bottle, ran to the beach, filled it with seawater, and returned to place it in front of Huang Tang.

Then activate your talent.

The seawater churned a few times in the bottle and became clear and transparent.

Ruan Wenyan handed it over, saying, "Try it."

Huang Tang took it and drank a sip.

It's fresh water!

Pure fresh water, with no salty taste at all!

He was tempted.

The team currently has no water shortage, but relies entirely on bottled water obtained from treasure chests. The quantity is limited, and if they run out of water for several days in a row, they will face a waterless predicament.

Ruan Wenyan's talent perfectly solved this problem!

"My daughter is talented too." Ruan Wenyan nudged Ruan Wei. "Weiwei, show us."

Ruan Wei stood up timidly, looked at the distant sea, and stretched out her hands.

Talent activated.

A massive fireball, ten meters in diameter, condensed above her head, its intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

"boom--!"

The fireball hurtled towards the distant sea, creating towering waves.

A large area of ​​seawater evaporated, and white water vapor shot into the sky like a mushroom cloud.
