Chapter 28

“Are they human or animal?”
With a last glimmer of hope, Su Mo looked at Oreo, and when he got a definitive answer, Su Mo’s heart cooled completely.
Walking down the steps, Su Mo put his ear to the stone door, trying to catch the sound from outside.
1
Through the stone door, he could only hear the sound of rain knocking on the land outside. A dull ringing came from the stone door.
Suddenly, a sound different from the rain came through the stone door.
1
“Boss… Huang, Should I… knock… threaten… him, or… a way… door… open?”
Fragments of voices came through the stone door.
Su Mo tightened his grip on the crossbow.
They were here with ill intentions!
There were a lot of people, definitely more than one.
…
Outside the shelter.
It was the end of the first day now. Instead of subsiding, the rain intensified and poured down more violently than ever.
It was not quite dark yet.
Despite the dark clouds, a glimmer of light was still barely visible on the horizon, so people did not lose sight of the ground.
Occasionally, a flash of lightning struck, revealing five men in raincoats and holding black umbrellas.
These raincoats were different from the common grass raincoats. Colorful rags were added outside to cover some possible places of leakage.
“This boy’s really lucky. I wonder where he found such a shelter. Its door is even made of stone.” Boss Huang spat on the side. With his other hand, he summoned a stone axe and knocked on the stone door twice.
Listening to the dull sound, Boss Huang’s face was a little grim.
“This door is very thick. At least over ten centimeters. We won’t be able to open it tomorrow morning even if we hammer on it.”
“Why don’t we try digging the foundation next to it? It can’t be all made of stone,” said Liu Ba, looking very experienced.
Then he took an iron shovel from his inventory and waved it around.
Boss Huang nodded his head at that and gave orders.
“Okay, Liu Ba, Rat Boy, and Sun Mazi, the three of you find a place and start digging. Glasses, light them with a torch and watch the stone door. Don’t let him rush out all of a sudden!”
“I’m going to look around and see if there’s any other way I can get in. There’s no way it’s not ventilated.”
Hearing Boss Huang’s arrangement, several people had no opinions and began to act according to the plan.
Clank. Clank.
The three of them found a place to the right of the stone door and began to dig with the shovels in their hands.
“Boy, this man’s shelter’s as difficult and sturdy as the underground treasures we’ve found.”
“I wouldn’t mess with them if this was a team. All the soil around this shelter is so solid. If it weren’t soaked with water, it’d be f*cking hard to dig through it.”
After three or five minutes of digging, Liu Ba was full of sweat and complained while he loafed on the job.
“In my opinion, these people are silly. Why listen to the command of some stupid game in a world like this? I don’t believe it. It’s just losing your life. You’ll be alive and well again in eighteen years. Let’s get rid of this man today, and rest for a day before leaving!”
“Hurry and dig, or Boss Huang will be fussing over it later,” Rat Boy said without looking up.
“Do you think there could be any women in this shelter? We managed to catch a woman a few days earlier, but I never thought she was so unyielding and took things so hard. Otherwise, she’ll be living the good life with us.”
Sun Mazi smiled lewdly. He seemed to be recalling their victory from two days ago.
The three of them talked nonsense while they worked hard on the mud, pulling out shovel after shovel.
Dong!
After more than ten minutes, when they reached the limit of their strength, they finally reached the wall of the shelter.
At this time, they had dug out a huge pit.
“Boss Huang. Boss Huang. We dug it out. We dug it out!”
Liu Ba cried in surprise and shouted to Boss Huang, who was standing at the top of the small hill.
When Boss Huang heard this, he rushed down the slope and came to the deep pit they dug.
Glasses held up the torch at the same time, illuminating the contents of the deep pit.
However, the five people were stunned at the sight of it.
“Holy shit, the fucking walls are made of stone, too. What the hell is this? Did this man transmigrate here with an excavator?”
“What the f * ck? I endured the stone drains and the door made of stone. Even the wall is made of stone?”
Covered in mud, Liu Ba and Sun Mazi stood in the pit, staring at each other.
“Get out of the way. Let me see.”
Boss Huang beckoned them to get out of the way and flipped into the pit, splashing muddy water all over the floor.
He took out his stone pickaxe and hit it on the exposed stone.
It was still the familiar dull ring, meaning that the stone was not thin.
“Dig! Dig it! Dig out the entire perimeter of the door. I don’t believe it he’s got the resources to replace everything nearby with stone.”
Boss Huang made up his mind, took out a stone shovel, and joined the digging trio.
For a moment, mud splashed everywhere.
In the heavy rain, the four people were like industrious bees, tirelessly collecting honey.
One meter.
Two meters.
Three meters.
They continued digging three meters to the left. Seeing that it was all yellowish-white stones, the four of them came to the left of the stone door, also beginning to dig.
1
Another three meters. Six meters near the shelter’s stone door had been dug out and exposed.
The yellowish-white stone body had a trace of natural pattern. It seemed to be mocking them for overestimating their capabilities.
“Holy shit, what the ** am I digging for?” Liu Ba threw the shovel to the ground, sat up, and began to sulk.
From before six o ‘clock when the horizon still had a little light, they dug until nine o ‘clock at night when the moon was half up in the sky.
For three hours, four men worked like coolies, digging at the entrance to the shelter.
What kind of evil was it?
“If this kid’s shelter is that good, why didn’t he get into the top ten shelters? Is this f*cking lame game playing with me?”
Sun Mazi also looked at the stone wall with a grim face and swore.
There were many shelters they dug up and broke into in three days, but none of them were as difficult as the one today.
Forget the shelter main door, they had only one word to describe the wall—
Outrageous!
“Could it be the same as the underground treasure we found before? I saw people living in it though.”
Glasses chimed in.
“F*ck. Listen well, the damn thing inside. Hurry and open the door, or I’ll put you through a lot of torture when I get in.”
1
Angry and frantic, Liu Ba climbed out of the pit, swearing while hitting the door with the stone shovel in his hand.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Every blow caused a low buzzing.
However, the shelter’s stone door remained so strong that not a crack showed.
“Alright. Alright!”
“There must be a loophole if his shelter didn’t get into the top ten shelters. Get up, grab the torches, and find them. I don’t believe this darn shelter can stump the living.”
1
Boss Huang’s face was so gloomy that water could almost drip from it.
Picking up the iron shovel, Boss Huang had covered himself with mud as he moved around the pit they dug. Boss Huang looked at the stone door with malicious eyes.
At the same time, his heart leaped.
“If he can build that shelter out of stones. He must have had some miraculous encounter or dug up something to be this rich. If I can pry this shelter open, give that kid a lesson, and find out his secret, maybe…”
1
With that in mind, Boss Huang looked up and thoughtfully scanned the four people who were still in the vicinity of the pit.
“Hurry and look for any loopholes. The door is so airtight that he must need a place for ventilation. Look to the ground.”
1
He said, and the five split up.
Holding an umbrella in one hand and a torch in the other, they looked carefully at the ground.
“Boss Huang, I found it. There’s a glass here. It should be his ventilation place!” Glasses had good eyesight and found the blast-resistant glass in the middle of the hill.
“Good, good, good. Burn some plant fiber for me. Let’s smoke this damn thing and see whether he’s coming out!”
2
Boss Huang came over with a look of surprise on his face. Looking at the glass embedded on the ground, he was overjoyed.
At the same time, he looked at the other four with a hint of undetectable malice in his eyes.
…
A wisp of smoke drifted in along the ventilation duct.
Inside the shelter with lit torches, the smoke began to spread, reaching Su Mo’s nose as he sat on the stool with his eyes closed.
1
“Have they finally found it?”
The next moment, Su Mo opened his eyes with a murderous look on his face.
It was a moonless, windy, and rainy night. Just the time to carry out God’s will!
2
Not one of these rascals could escape!

He walked over to the wall, put on his raincoat, went back to the table to pick up his crossbow, and look at the hole where the smoke was still pouring in.
“I choose to go to the top of the charts and turn on the live broadcast function. Fix the angle of the aerial camera above the shelter and forbid the audience from observing the shelter arbitrarily.”
Su Mo said coldly as he opened the game panel.
