Even if Yang Meng stopped talking, Du Hui wasn't going to give up.

"Who's dragging everyone down? Are you being reasonable? I'm tired, can't I even rest?" Du Hui glared at Yang Meng. "Besides, if it weren't for me, you might have been swept away by the tornado long ago."

I lost a purple defensive item, and what did you contribute?

Yang Meng's face turned red with anger: "Purple prop! Purple prop! All you've been saying all this time is those words, as if you're afraid people won't know you've helped everyone."

It's like saying you don't need it just because we're not around; you'd still have to take it out if a tornado hits!

"That's still better than you having a big mouth and just waiting to get things handed to you!"

"Say it again, who's waiting for it to be ready?" Yang Meng tried to rush over, but Zhou Liang grabbed her around the waist.

"Alright, alright, aren't you tired? What time is it and you still have the energy to argue?"

"Arguing?" Yang Meng's attention was suddenly diverted by Zhou Liang. She abruptly shook off Zhou Liang's arm and pointed at his nose, cursing.

"I knew it. You couldn't wait to see what good stuff you were talking about. What could I possibly hear from your dog mouth?"

Do you think I want to argue with her? It's all because you insisted on bringing her along. She gets tired and thirsty all the time. How are we supposed to find the supply boxes?

"Zhou Liang, tell me, tell me..." Yang Meng suddenly patted Zhou Liang's stomach.

"When was the last time you ate your fill? I think we should just go our separate ways, so I don't starve to death before I get angry!"

Zhou Liang was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. He just kept complaining in his heart that his old classmate didn't give him face.

Yes, Zhou Liang and Yang Meng know each other; they were high school classmates. It's such a coincidence that they were assigned to the same game instance.

Players had already speculated that, considering the issue of dungeon capacity, each time the game started, players would be randomly assigned by the system to thousands of dungeon worlds.

In a country with over a billion people, to meet someone you know is incredibly lucky.

The two of them had a good idea at the time. The game didn't object to players killing each other, and it was too dangerous to be alone. At least they knew each other, and cooperating was better than being killed alone.

At first, it was indeed very convenient for the two to survive together, and they could work together to deal with wild animals. But at this time, Du Hui appeared.

Although Yang Meng and Zhou Liang weren't exactly good people, they didn't want to kill anyone indiscriminately. Besides, Du Hui seemed like a delicate girl to them, and they didn't want to abandon their humanity for 100 points.

After discussing it, Zhou Liang felt it was unsafe to leave a young woman alone on the island. Since they were compatriots, he felt he should help her if he could.

Yang thought about it and agreed.

She just didn't expect Du Hui to be so dramatic, and Zhou Liang also seemed to have gone mad, constantly showering Du Hui with concern, which made Yang Meng quite jealous.

That's right, Yang Meng had a crush on Zhou Liang when she was in high school, but they were still young at the time and hadn't even gone to university yet. Getting together rashly wouldn't be stable, so they just let it go until they started working and met again in a survival game.

Yang Hui did not expect that the team would continue to grow. With more people, there were more conflicts, until the tornado came and they had no time to escape.

At this moment, Du Hui actually took out a purple defensive item and protected them all.

However, Yang Meng had to admit that without Du Hui's purple item, they wouldn't have survived such a strong wind. Even so, it couldn't hide the fact that the team's profits were greatly reduced because of her.

There were three grown men with them, and each of them was barely half full. How could that be acceptable?

Zhou Liang hadn't been feeling well either. He was hungry and tired, and the noise around him never stopped. He rubbed his stiff back without making a sound: "Yang Meng, Huihui and I aren't what you think. Besides, you know how dangerous it is to travel separately."

"Heh~" Yang Meng didn't even want to speak anymore. Huihui, my foot!

“The past is the past. Huihui is in poor health, and now that she has lost her life-saving item, we must take extra care of her.”

As he spoke, Zhou Liang grabbed Yang Meng's shoulder, a hint of worry on his handsome face: "Don't worry, I've already surveyed the surrounding area."

The terrain here is open, and this is the only building. There must be supply boxes inside, so we won't have to worry about running out of supplies when we find them!

"Since that's the case, then stop dawdling and go inside." Having vented most of her anger, and with Zhou Liang's coaxing, Yang Meng stopped being unreasonable.

She pushed Zhou Liang aside and walked directly into the building behind her.

Zhou Liang took a deep breath, intending to comfort Du Hui, but when he turned around, he saw Yan Weiming beside her, showing concern for her. Du Hui giggled sweetly at him, and Zhou Liang's face instantly darkened.

He stared at Yan Weiming for a long time, then followed Yang Meng without saying a word.

On the other side, Lu Cheng, who had been a background character for a long time, felt extremely superfluous. What was wrong with him that he insisted on going with these four people?

…………

As soon as they entered, all five of them shivered involuntarily, feeling a chill run down their spines!

"Is this place...is it really safe here? Maybe we should leave!" Du Hui shrank back.

Zhou Liang hadn't expected this place to be so different from what he'd imagined. He swallowed hard and said, "It's okay, it's just too dark. Didn't we find a candle earlier? Let's light it!"

"Yes, yes, let's light it!"

Not long after, a dim yellow light appeared in the center of the five people.

"ah!!!"

Just as the light came on, Du Hui, who was standing to the side, suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of her eye, and immediately screamed in fright.

The loud voice startled everyone so much that they almost lost their minds. Zhou Liang's hand holding the candle trembled, and the candle rolled to the ground, the flame went out, and the group was plunged into darkness.

"Ahhh, what is that? What?"

"Waaaaah~ Help!"

A series of cracking sounds suddenly erupted around them, as if someone had bumped into a table or kicked a chair, and screams of pain echoed throughout.

On the third floor, Xiao Jin, who had been bending over, suddenly straightened up, his eyes sharp as knives, and swept his gaze across the surroundings.

Just now... I think I heard a sound!

With a crisp 'click', a tiny flame suddenly lit up.

Zhou Liang held up the lighter shakily, shining it on his face as he asked, "Huihui~ what~ what did you see?"

After a long pause, Du Hui's trembling voice, deliberately lowered, rang out: "I...I saw a dark shadow fly by!"

The presence of a dark shadow indicated the presence of a living being, and everyone began to tense up as they slowly approached Zhou Liang.
