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

"boom!!!"

A fireball crashed down.

The shockwave sent all the surrounding monsters flying; the Scrap Spider was blasted into pieces, and the Garbage Devourer was burned to a crisp.

The Garbage Mountain Giant was engulfed in flames, letting out a low roar as its metal parts began to melt under the intense heat.

The explosion was extremely powerful.

The garbage mountain could not withstand such an impact and began to loosen and collapse.

The crystal coffin slid down with the collapsing debris and was buried deep in the garbage heap.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

Huang Tang felt that the surroundings had quieted down.

There were no gnawing sounds, no footsteps, only the occasional rustling sound of trash sliding down.

He opened the system panel, and the [Eye of God] had finished cooling down.

use!

The field of vision ascends into the sky.

There are no more red dots within a one-kilometer radius.

Ruan Wei's fireball wiped out all the monsters nearby!

Even the Garbage Mountain Giant collapsed, turning into a pile of scrap metal, and the red light on its body completely went out!

"Well done," Huang Tang couldn't help but praise.

Because of the recent explosion and the loosening of the garbage mountain, the locations of all supplies and treasure chests have changed.

Huang Tang quickly scanned the area and noted down the new coordinates.

"Sister Ruan, Weiwei, get ready, we're going out."

He braced his hands on the coffin lid and exerted force suddenly.

"Bang!"

The coffin lid was lifted, and the garbage that was on top of it scattered everywhere.

Huang Tang climbed out of the coffin and reached out to pull Ruan Wenyan and Ruan Wei out.

The three of them were covered in trash and debris, in their hair, clothes, and even in their mouths; they were in a terrible state.

But no one complained.

Because they saw that amidst a pile of scrap metal, there was a faint glimmer of gold.

Huang Tang walked over and pried open the fragments.

A golden treasure chest lay there quietly, radiating a warm glow!

"A golden treasure chest!"

Ruan Wenyan called out.

"It must have burst out from inside the Garbage Mountain Giant."

Huang Tang put the treasure chest into the system space.

"Mom! Brother Huang Tang, over here!" Ruan Wei waved from a short distance away, "Two silver treasure chests!"

Huang Tang ran over and indeed found two treasure chests buried in the ruins.

Without any hesitation, it was directly added to the system space.

He glanced at the time; there were still 99 minutes left before the Anywhere Door closed.

"Time is running out, keep searching!"

……

For the next hour or so, Huang Tang led the mother and daughter on a shopping spree in the garbage dump.

His goal was clear:

First priority: Materials for manufacturing the A300 rocket launcher!

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics, high-strength aluminum alloys, circuit boards, chips... anything related to rocket launchers was confiscated.

Second priority: Treasure chests!

Wooden chests, bronze treasure chests, and silver treasure chests—all were stored in the system space without exception.

Third priority: upgrading materials used in housing.

Steel, concrete, glass, wood... take as much as you can!

Fourth priority: other daily necessities and electronic parts that seem useful.

Wherever the three of them went, all supplies were cleared out!

Even so, there were still some that we didn't have time to collect.

After all, dealing with Zhao Dehou and that wave of monsters took too much time.

Before leaving, Huang Tang stood at the highest point of the garbage mountain and looked back.

In the distance, that magnificent futuristic city stands at the edge of the horizon.

A colossal wall hundreds of meters high separates it from the junkyard; inside, neon lights shimmer, and flying cars crisscross the landscape. It's another world!

"I really want to go in and see what's inside," he murmured.

But this time it definitely won't work.

He turned around and, with Ruan Wenyan and Ruan Wei in tow, walked into the Anywhere Door.

A flash of white light.

……

The moment the three returned to the living room, the women surrounded them.

then……

"It stinks!!!"

Su Qing was the first to cover her nose and jump away.

"Did you fall into a cesspool?" Liu Lingqing took three steps back.

"What's that smell? It's sour, smelly, and has a burnt smell..."

Bai Tao pinched her nose, and her voice changed.

Huang Tang looked down at himself.

His clothes were covered in an unknown sticky liquid, his hair was mixed with pieces of plastic and rotten food scraps, and there was a soft, fluffy thing stuck to the sole of his shoes.

"Don't even mention it," he said with a wry smile. "The Anywhere Door connects to a giant junkyard."

"A landfill?"

Chae Rim frowned. "So, this time we didn't gain anything?"

"Quite the opposite." Huang Tang opened the system space and began to take stock. "The gains are enormous."

He reported them out one by one:

"25 wooden chests, 10 bronze chests, 4 silver chests, and 1 gold chest."

The women's eyes shone brighter than the last.

"We have collected about 20 percent of the materials needed to manufacture the A300 rocket launcher. We haven't found rare materials like composite double-base propellant and ultra-high-strength steel yet, but we already have quite a few basic materials."

"We also acquired a lot of materials for upgrading the 25-story house."

"Currently, we have 4000 units of steel, 5500 units of concrete, 3500 units of bricks, 2800 units of glass, and 600 units of timber."

"Although we're still far from being upgraded, it's already a good start."

As Huang Tang was speaking, he suddenly noticed someone next to him trembling with excitement.

Qi Hongyu's glasses were askew on her nose as she stared intently at the system space filled with circuit boards, chips, capacitors, resistors, and so on. She trembled as if struck by lightning.

"These...these..."

Her voice trembled. "Were these all found in the junkyard?"

"Yeah," Huang Tang said. "Time was tight, so I didn't look at it carefully and just took it all in. I plan to sort through it later and throw away the useless ones."

"Throw it away?!"

Qi Hongyu jumped to her feet, her glasses nearly flying off. "We can't throw these away! These things are so useful!"

She was so excited she was almost incoherent: "My talent is being an inventor! I can use these things to make LCD TVs, cell phones, game consoles, holographic projectors... so many! So many!"

Huang Tang looked at her, who seemed to be on the verge of going crazy, and laughed: "Since you're useful, I'll give you access. You can use it whenever you want."

Qi Hongyu stomped her feet excitedly: "If I had known there were so many good things inside, I should have gone with you! Maybe there would be even better things you don't know about!"

Huang Tang smiled wryly: "Don't think that just because it's a garbage dump there's no danger. On the contrary, the three of us were almost disposed of as garbage."

……

The women sat down in the living room, and Huang Tang briefly recounted his experience at the garbage dump.

When Zhao Dehou was mentioned, the women were so angry they gritted their teeth.

"Good riddance to that scum!"

Su Qing slammed her hand on the table.

"The most frightening thing in the apocalypse is this kind of person, who abuses their power and acts arrogantly," Cai Lin said coldly.

"Luckily, Sister Ruan and Weiwei met Brother Huang Tang."

Jiang Jing'an put his arm around Ruan Wei's shoulder.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat when they heard about being surrounded by Scrap Spiders, Garbage Devourers, and Garbage Mountain Giants.

"The three of you are surrounded by hundreds of monsters?" Bai Tao covered her mouth.

"They even used a crystal coffin? And three people stacked on top of each other?" Liu Lingqing's lips twitched.

"Ruan Wei killed the Garbage Mountain Giant with a single fireball?" Su Qing stared wide-eyed at Ruan Wei.

Ruan Wei lowered her head shyly, her face turning red again.

"That was so close..." Bai Tao patted her chest. "Luckily, the exploration time was only three hours, and we've almost finished searching for all the supplies inside."

The living room was quiet for a few seconds.

Huang Tang suddenly spoke up: "I'm going in again."

Qi Hongyu was the first to stand up: "I think it's feasible!"

"Huang Tang has the 'Eye of God,' so there's no need to waste it."

"And now that we know how to avoid those monsters, we're sure to reap even greater rewards this time! I'll go with you!"

Huang Tang shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not going in this time to search the garbage dump again."

"I want to see if I can get into the futuristic city!"
