◎Will you die trying to get it out?◎

Shangguan Yu would never do anything that he could order others to do.

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Xiao, whose curiosity was aroused, ran forward and picked out the last two digits of the house number with his bare hands.

Shangguan Huai, who was about to hand over the knife, silently put it away, as if he was redundant.

"Do you need to see this?" Rong Xiao handed over the dirty metal number, but Shangguan Yu didn't take it. He waved his hand, indicating that she could do whatever she wanted with it, just don't put it in his hands.

"The last number was added on temporarily, likely related to the game on this bracelet." His fingers gestured at the marks left on the door, and Shangguan Yu's words gradually clarified everyone's thoughts. "The first number has obviously been hanging on the door for a long time, leaving marks on it. But the location of the last number is very clean, and the discoloration is basically the same as the overall door panel, which shows that this number was not hung on the door from the beginning."

"Is this number added intentionally by the game?" Long Qingyu asked.

"Very likely."

"So what does this number mean?"

Shangguan Yu put his hands in his pockets, raised his chin, and gestured, "Find room 6174 and go in and you'll know."

"Yes, there is Room 6174!" Rong Xiao was already standing in front of the door of Room 6174, waving at them.

"How can I get in without a key?"

"Since this is the room assigned to us by the game, look under the carpet and next to the milk box." Shangguan Yu then seemed to think of something else and pointed at the house number. "The font on this apartment's house number is very bold, so there might be a key hidden there. Take it down and have a look."

After a few clangs, Rong Xiao pulled off a number one by one with each hand, and sure enough, he found a key stuck in the gap on the back of the number "1".

Long Qingyu raised his gun and gestured with his hands to prepare his position for opening the door.

According to the game's prompts, they are asked to clear the zombies in a designated room, and there is a high probability that there are a large number of zombies locked up in this room.

If it has been mutated for a long time, it would be easier to deal with, at least the speed would not be so fast.

but……

The mission they drew was a three-and-a-half-star level mission.

"Knock on the door first, although it may not be useful." Shangguan Yu hid at the back with his weapon.

Everyone in the team was used to him hiding in the corner. Long Qingyu and Tian Yichuang leaned against the door on the left and right sides, while Ling Xi and Shangguan Huai were responsible for guarding behind them.

“Knock, knock…”

Long Qingyu knocked on the door several times without restraining his strength. It was very quiet inside and it sounded like there were no zombies in the house.

But no one dared to be careless. The last time they entered the game, the zombies were hiding in the closet and didn't react much to the sound until someone opened the door and then they rushed out.

"Old Tian..." Long Qingyu was about to ask Old Tian to try to open the door, but Rong Xiao arrived at the door first, winking at Long Qingyu with eyes full of expectation.

That cute face was clearly filled with the strong request of "I'll drive, I'll drive."

"Let Rong Xiao come. She's very quick and agile." Ling Xi tightened her fingers and raised the knife in her hand. "We have to trust her. She's also a member of the team!"

"Okay, Rong Xiao, you come and open the door, but... remember... be careful, there may be zombies rushing out from inside, don't get hit by them." After a brief hesitation, Long Qingyu lifted up the iron hook hanging from Rong Xiao and signaled her to hold it high to be prepared for defense and attack.

Shangguan Yu hid in the back, making a trumpet shape with his hands: "If you get caught by the zombies, the game is completely lost, you lose! You are a loser!"

"I won't lose. No matter how many zombies come out, I can dodge them all!" Shaking the iron hook in his hand, Rong Xiao bounced on the spot and began to do warm-up exercises with agile movements.

Shangguan Yu: "If any zombies come out, you should kill them first."

"Shangguan..." Long Qingyu warned in a deep voice.

Opening the door is already dangerous. Rong Xiao is different from ordinary people. If you provoke her at this time, what if she loses her temper?

If Ruo Wu Shishi looked away, Shangguan Yu pretended that he had said nothing and lowered his head to adjust the weapon in his hand.

Long Qingyu moved his chin, signaling Rong Xiao to take action.

She excitedly leaned against the door and tried to turn the key. With a click, the door opened. The room was still quiet and there was no unusual sound.

The door slowly opened, and Rong Xiao followed the rhythm of Long Qingyu's gestures and finally opened the door completely.

The room was very dark. The curtains seemed to be blackout curtains. When they were drawn, it was so pitch black that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Long Qingyu originally wanted to be the first to go in and see what was going on, but Rong Xiao entered the house as fast as the wind. He heard two "clang" sounds, and then the curtains were pulled open with a "swish".

Strong light shines into the house, and the entire living room is visible.

There are no zombies.

Perhaps it should be said that there were no signs of a fight or blood in the house, and there was a layer of dust on the table, as if the owner had never returned after the apocalypse.

However, this house was divided into 6 rooms by renovation, and the doors were closed, and an unignorable sense of oppression came towards me.

Opening every door means taking certain risks, let alone six doors.

"Could it be that the zombies have been temporarily locked up?" Ling Xi knocked on the doors of each room one by one, but it was still quiet inside and there was no sign of zombies.

Long Qingyu asked Tian Yichuan to guard the gate temporarily. After checking the bullets in his pistol, he asked, "Which door should we open first?"

There are six rooms, and you need to take the risk of opening the door six times.

"Which door do you mean? Just one door is enough." Shangguan Yu never shirked responsibility for matters that required careful consideration. He pointed at the door and asked, "Did you find it?"

"What did you find?" Shangguan Huai said it was not that he didn't want to use his brain, but how could his rusty brain work.

Shangguan Yu sighed, his disdain faintly visible in his words: "Didn't you see the thing on the door?"

There are many children's toys and supplies in this room. On each door, there are various patterns cut out of non-woven fabrics, including many letters and numbers.

Explanations alone were useless, so Shangguan Yu walked forward, took down all the things stuck on the door, and piled them up at the door.

Behind some of the patterns, there are thin pencil marks, as if the lines were drawn for cutting.

Shangguan Yu sorted out several patterns separately and placed them on the top, with numbers written on the back of them.

"The last number on the doorplate is 4. Our needs should be in this room."

After giving the analysis, Shangguan Yu immediately retreated to the farthest point, his eyes clearly saying: It's time for you to perform.

This time it was Long Qingyu who opened the door. He pressed the door handle, gripped the gun tightly in his hand, his finger lightly touching the trigger, his muscles tense.

Shangguan Yu's analysis is usually correct. If there are needed items stored here, then the zombies... huh? No?!

The room was clean in a sense. There were no zombies, no blood, and no signs of fighting. It was just a bit messy because there were too many things.

The room was packed like a warehouse, with a multi-layered metal cabinet in the corner. It had fifty drawers, each with a lock.

"Luckily, the keys are still there," Ling Xi held up a bunch of keys covered in dust. The clattering sound made her scalp tingle. "How do I open it this time?"

Shangguan Yu was observing the situation in the room with no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Because of what happened before, Ling Xi didn't dare to be too decisive, for fear of being ridiculed by Shangguan Yu for her intelligence.

"Open number seven."

The number given by the system is 6081, which is calculated 7 times to get 6174.

Each drawer of the metal cabinet was numbered, and the key also had a corresponding number. Shangguan Yu gave a clear answer without hesitation.

Rong Xiao couldn't wait to see the rewards given by the game. She found "number 7" from a pile of keys, poked it into the keyhole and turned it.

With a click, the drawer popped open, and inside was a box that looked exactly like the hexagonal box outside.

When he opened the lid, he found a large medicine box inside, which contained many kinds of medicines. Shangguan Yu didn't have time to take a closer look before his attention was attracted by the three hand grenades next to it.

Hand.Grenade!!

Long Qingyu immediately snatched the box, checked it carefully, and after making sure it was safe, he asked Ling Xi to put the medicine box into the space.

"How strange." Shangguan Yu frowned, not feeling happy at all about getting the reward.

"It's a bit strange. We haven't even completed our mission yet, and we've already received the reward." This time, even Ling Xi noticed something was amiss. "Are we going to die trying to get it?"

There seemed to be a buzzing sound in the distance of the building. The sound was a little wrong, as if it came from the direction of the stairs.

Tian Yichuang rushed to the front door to see what was going on. A man stumbled out from the corner of the stairs. It was the boy who had helped them before.

"Hide in the room quickly, go in!" The young man rushed over like the wind, dragged Tian Yichuang into the house, slammed the door and locked it.

The boy with heavy breathing rested for less than two seconds, then got up and pushed all the nearby shoe cabinets, chairs and other things behind the door, stacking them all up layer by layer.

"What's going on?" Long Qingyu came out of the room with a gun in hand and saw the sealed door.

Tian Yichuang was completely confused, and under the boy's nervous lead, he also mechanically helped to pile up things behind the door.

"Those three bastards just now attracted a bunch of zombies upstairs, all heading up this floor," the young man gasped, clutching his chest. He found a wall to sit down against, his eyes fixed on the crack in the door, his whole body tense and his fists clenched. "They're definitely here to settle accounts with you."

"Thank you, little brother. Thank you for coming to inform us." Grabbing the boy's hand, Tian Yichuang's fierce face showed an expression of emotion.

The young man frowned and pulled his hand away: "I didn't come here specifically to inform you, I was forced to go nowhere!"

"You're so powerful, you can escape anywhere, right?"

They had witnessed the boy's ability before. He could control the floor to slide the three people directly downstairs, and then restore everything to its original state.

How could such a powerful person be forced into a desperate situation?

"I had just completed my mission and was about to leave when those guys actually released all the zombies on each floor one by one and led them to the sixth floor..." After a pause, the young man swallowed solemnly, "Someone also led the zombies down from above. All the doors were locked. I had nowhere else to go but here!"

"Huh? But you're very capable. You can just use the floor to turn it into a ladder and slide directly to the first floor, right?" Tian Yichuang didn't understand. Judging from the boy's previous abilities, he would never be forced to such a point.

"There's nothing I can do, I..." The young man yelled in frustration, but before he could finish his words he was interrupted by the calm Shangguan Yu standing next to him.

"Is his ability time-limited? After using it once, it needs to cool down for a certain period of time before it can be used again."

The young man looked over in shock, then bit his lip and said guiltily, "No...no."

The unconvincing sophistry further confirmed Shangguan Yu's guess. The rumbling sound had reached the corridor. Long Qingyu realized that something was wrong. This door might not be able to withstand the desperate charge of a large group of crazy zombies.

He was about to rush forward to block the door, but Rong Xiao grabbed his clothes from behind and said, "Don't go over there."

Long Qingyu was about to turn around when a flash of lightning appeared on the metal just one step away.
