"Is it a human or an animal!"
Clutching at the last shred of hope, Su Mo looked at Oreo. After receiving an affirmative response, Su Mo's heart sank completely.
Descending the steps, Su Mo pressed his ear against the Stone Door, trying his best to catch any sounds from outside.
Through the Stone Door, he could only hear the sound of rain pattering against the earth, along with dull thuds against the Stone Door.
Suddenly, a sound distinct from the rain penetrated the Stone Door.
"Boss Huang, I... knock door... him, or way to... break door... open?"
The intermittent sounds came through the Stone Door.
Su Mo couldn't help but clench the crossbow in his hand.
The visitors were hostile! And there were quite a few of them, definitely more than one person.
Outside the Shelter.
It was now the end of the first day, and the rain not only hadn't lessened, but had intensified, pouring down even more violently.
The sky wasn't completely dark yet.
Despite the presence of dark clouds, a glimmer of light still struggled to remain on the horizon, preventing people from losing sight of the ground.
Occasionally, a flash of lightning illuminated five men wearing Grass Raincoats and holding black umbrellas.
These raincoats were different from ordinary Grass Raincoats, with colorful rags added to the outside, covering some potentially drafty areas.
"This kid's luck is really good. I don't know where he found such a Shelter, and with a door made of stone," Boss Huang spat, spitting to the side, and used his other hand to summon a Stone Axe, knocking it against the Stone Door twice.
Listening to the muffled sound, Boss Huang's expression was a bit unsightly.
"This door is very thick, at least ten centimeters thick. If we keep knocking here, we won't be able to open it until tomorrow morning."
"Why don't we try digging at the foundation next to it? It can't all be made of stone, right?" Liu Ba chimed in, looking very experienced.
He also took out an Iron Shovel from his inventory and waved it in his hand.
After hearing this, Boss Huang nodded and instructed:
"Alright, Liu Ba, Rat Boy, Sun Pockface, the three of you find a place to start digging. Glasses, light a Torch to give them light, and keep an eye on the Stone Door, don't let him suddenly rush out!"
"I'll go around and see if there are any other ways to get in. It's impossible for him to have no ventilation."
Hearing Boss Huang's arrangements, the others had no objections and began to act according to the plan.
It must be said that the Torch produced by the game manufacturing panel was easy to use. Like the simulated construction games on Earth, it couldn't be extinguished by wind or water, completely defying common sense.
Clang. Clang.
The three found a spot to the right of the Stone Door and began to dig with the shovels in their hands.
"(Good fellow), this person's Shelter is as troublesome as the underground treasure we found before, very sturdy."
"If this were a team, I really wouldn't dare to provoke them. The soil near this Shelter is so solid. If it hadn't been soaked in water, it would really be impossible to dig."
After digging for three to five minutes, Liu Ba was sweating profusely, complaining while slacking off.
"I say these people are also stupid, still listening to the commands of this broken game in this kind of world. I don't believe in evil. At worst, I'll die with a big scar, and I'll be a good man again in eighteen years. Today, after we take care of this person, we'll rest for a day before leaving!"
"Dig quickly, or Boss Huang will have something to say later," Rat Boy said without looking up.
"Do you think there will be women in this Shelter? It's not easy for us brothers to catch a woman these days, but I didn't expect her to be so fierce and not think straight. Otherwise, wouldn't it be great to follow us brothers and live a life of luxury?"
Sun Pockface grinned lewdly, seemingly starting to recall the results of the past two days.
The three of them talked nonsense while exerting force on the mud, pulling it out shovel by shovel.
Thump! After more than ten minutes, when the few of them reached their physical limit, they finally dug to the wall of the Shelter.
At this time, a large hole had already been dug out.
"Boss Huang, Boss Huang, we dug it out, we dug it out!"
Liu Ba shouted excitedly, yelling at Boss Huang, who was standing on top of the small hill.
After hearing this, Boss Huang also quickly rushed down the gentle slope and came to the dug-out pit.
Glasses also held up the torch, illuminating the contents of the pit.
One look, and the five of them were dumbfounded.
"Damn, the walls are made of stone too. What the hell is this? Did this guy time-travel with an excavator?"
"Damn it, I can tolerate the stone drainage ditch, and I can tolerate the stone door, but you're telling me the walls are made of stone too?"
Liu Ba and Sun Pockface, covered in mud, stood in the pit, staring wide-eyed.
"Move aside, let me see."
Beckoning the two to make way, Boss Huang did a somersault and jumped into the pit, splashing mud everywhere.
He took out his Stone Pickaxe and tapped the exposed stone.
It was still the familiar dull thud, indicating that the stone was definitely thick.
"Dig! Dig for me! Dig around the door, I don't believe he has so many resources to replace everything nearby with stone!"
Boss Huang hardened his heart, took out his Iron Shovel, and joined the digging trio.
For a time, mud flew everywhere.
In the heavy rain, the four of them were like diligent little bees, tirelessly collecting honey.
One meter.
Two meters.
Three meters.
After digging three meters to the left and seeing that it was all yellowish-white stone, the four of them went to the left side of the Stone Door and started digging again.
Another three meters, and six meters around the Shelter's Stone Door were exposed.
The yellowish-white stone had a natural pattern, as if mocking their overestimation of their abilities.
"Damn, what am I digging for?" Liu Ba threw his shovel on the ground, sat down, and began to sulk.
From a little light on the horizon before six o'clock, they dug until nine o'clock when the moon was halfway up the sky.
For a full three hours, the four of them, like coolies, had been digging at someone else's Shelter for three hours.
What kind of sin was this? "You say this kid's Shelter is so powerful, how come it's not on the Top Ten Shelters? Is this damn game playing with me?"
Sun Pockface also looked at the stone wall with a gloomy expression, muttering curses.
In the past few days, the Shelters they had dug open and broken through were more than one could count on one hand, but none had been as tricky as today.
Not to mention the Shelter's door, just the walls were, in a word, outrageous!
"Could this be like the underground treasure we found before? I clearly saw someone living inside!"
Glasses chimed in from the side.
"Damn it, you dog thing inside, listen up! Open the door now, or your grandpa will come in and make you suffer a thousand torments!"
Enraged, Liu Ba climbed out of the pit, smashing the door with his Iron Shovel while cursing.
Buzz buzz buzz! Each strike brought a low hum.
However, the Shelter's Stone Door remained as solid as ever, without revealing even a crack.
"Alright, alright!"
"If his Shelter hasn't made it to the Top Ten Shelters, there must be a loophole somewhere. Everyone, get up, take the torches, and look for it. I don't believe this dead Shelter can trap a living person!"
Boss Huang's face was so gloomy that water could almost drip from it.
Putting away his Iron Shovel, he smeared himself with mud along the dug-out pit, and Boss Huang also looked at the Stone Door with unkind eyes.
At the same time, his mind was racing.
This Shelter can be built entirely of stone, there must be some kind of adventure, or he dug up something good to be so rich. If I can pry open this Shelter, then clean up this kid, ask the secret, maybe...
Thinking about it, Boss Huang looked up, his eyes thoughtfully sweeping over the four people still near the pit.
"Hurry up, find where there's a loophole. This door is so well sealed, he definitely needs a place to ventilate. Look on the ground."
After a greeting, the five people began to act separately.
One hand held an umbrella, the other a torch, carefully observing the ground.
"Boss Huang, I found it. There's glass here; it should be where he's getting air!" Glasses had better eyesight and immediately spotted the bulletproof glass in the center of the hill.
"Good, good, good, burn some plant fiber for me, smoke this dog to death, see if he comes out!"
Boss Huang walked over with a look of surprise, looking at the glass embedded in the ground, overjoyed.
At the same time, the way he looked at the other four people also carried a hint of unkindness that was difficult to detect in the past.
A wisp of green smoke gradually floated in along the ventilation duct.
In the shelter lit by torches, the green smoke began to spread, gradually reaching Su Mo's nose as he sat on the stool, eyes closed, resting.
"Finally found me?"
The next moment, Su Mo opened his eyes, his face carrying a hint of killing intent.
At this time, the night was dark, the wind was high, and it was raining, perfect for acting on behalf of heaven to kill people.
These beasts, none of them will escape! He walked to the wall, put on the entire Grass Raincoat, returned to the table, picked up the crossbow, and looked at the hole where the smoke was still spreading.
"I choose to climb to the top of the leaderboard and turn on the live broadcast function, fixing the overhead camera position above the shelter, and prohibiting viewers from arbitrarily observing the shelter."
Opening the game panel, Su Mo said coldly.
