Chapter 162 Rising from the Ground
Hu Jiayao and Gu Jinxing were anxiously waiting at the refresh point.
The moment the system prompt that all main tasks were completed sounded in his mind, Hu Jiayao, who was pacing back and forth in the living room, cursed loudly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then collapsed to the ground.
Looking up at the ceiling, I saw a light screen floating just above the refresh point, which jumped to a countdown waiting for the final clearance settlement.
Before Hu Jiayao could even curl up the corners of his lips, the ground beneath him suddenly began to shake violently.
"Earthquake?!" Hu Jiayao jumped up from the ground.
"No," Gu Jinxing stood at the door of the dormitory, looking solemnly in the direction of the company headquarters next to him, "It's the Irene Building."
Hu Jiayao quickly followed, his eyes looking over Gu Jinxing's shoulder at the Irene Building next door, and then his jaw dropped in shock.
Then, in the darkness of the night, the twelve-story building swayed from side to side and pulled itself up from the ground.
The huge body suddenly left the ground, just like an abandoned building being destroyed by an explosion in the real world, raising a cloud of gray smoke and dust around it, covering the entire building.
Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, the ground directly below the building sank rapidly, causing the surrounding ground to shake, crack and collapse.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the figure of the giant hill-like figure finally appeared clearly before our eyes.
The side wing skirts are torn apart from the main body of the building to form two arms. The top floor where the president's office is located is the only light source in the building at the moment. The white strips of light make it look like the eyes of this giant.
Further down, from the lobby on the ground floor, to the cafeteria on the second floor, and then to the laboratories on the third and fourth floors, they all bulged out slightly to form the waist, hips, and legs of a giant.
Further down, where the legs should have grown, there are many slender "tentacles" supporting it - those "tentacles" are the intricate underground passages leading to the furnace.
After pulling his body up from the ground, those "tentacles" began to rotate rapidly, driving the body towards the company dormitory.
The sight of such a huge creature pressing towards him in the darkness was so shocking that Hu Jiayao turned pale with fright. He stepped back subconsciously, staggered twice, and fell directly to the ground.
“What the hell! What is this?! Godzilla or Optimus Prime?! It, it, it, it’s going to destroy our spawn point?!”
Facing such a huge object, Gu Jinxing was also very shocked. His instinct made him want to hide backwards with Hu Jiayao, but his reason told him that there was no need to hide.
I don't know why this building came to life, but since it has been a part of this map for a long time, it will not be close to the player's spawn point.
Sure enough, the humanoid building just moved sideways for a distance in the direction of the refresh point and no longer moved closer.
It stopped, turned its body on the spot, facing where it stood up, and then raised one arm high.
The arm swung in the air like a giant pile driver, smashing hard into the sunken ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang! One after another, the loud noises shook the ground and shocked my heart.
The piece of ground where the Irene Building originally stood sank because the tangled secret passages were taken away. It was already on the verge of collapse, and after being smashed down by the huge reinforced concrete arm, the ground collapsed completely in a few hits.
With a loud bang.
The surrounding ground broke apart and collapsed downward, forming a huge pit like a crater.
The scorching orange-yellow magma underground was completely exposed.
Seeing this scene, Hu Jiayao and Gu Jinxing's faces turned gloomy, with worry in their eyes.
"The president...won't they already..."
"No." Gu Jinxing raised his hand and pointed to a certain spot on the edge of the deep pit.
Hu Jiayao squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Near the ground, he saw several small round balls hanging on the inner wall, which looked like frog eggs.
"Fuck! He's still alive!" Hu Jiayao smiled with relief, then took out a sledgehammer and subconsciously wanted to run out, "Go save him!"
Gu Jinxing raised his hand to stop him, "How? Use your hammer? In the eyes of that building, your sledgehammer is no different from a paper clip."
"What should I do?" Hu Jiayao also realized that if he rushed over, not only would he not be able to help, but he would also give up another opportunity.
They were all newbies who had just walked out of the trial map. They had no suitable weapons in their equipment library. It was really a fantasy for them to deal with such a big building.
Gu Jinxing thought for a moment, took out a bucket of flares from the equipment reserve column, placed it by the window, and fired it towards the building.
The fireball left a long tail of light and landed on the "top" of the building, but failed to attract the other party's attention in the slightest.
That building, now completely focused on the pit formed by the furnace.
“Ah——”
The huge building let out a dull howl, like the wail of a strong wind pouring into an empty valley, or like the mad howl of a wounded beast.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The giant arm waved vigorously in the air, and reached into the pit impatiently, as if to pick up some lost treasure, but the scorching temperature of the furnace forced it to retract its hand. Finally, it became more and more manic and began to knock on the ground frantically, causing the pit to collapse outwards about one meter.
"Fuck!"
Huang Yan cursed, hurriedly let go of the stone that had fallen off his hand, and re-anchored a new inner wall.
The hot gravel rumbled down from above and hit them. If it weren't for the protection of the "welfare props", they would have been bleeding from the heads.
But the "welfare props" are now full of holes and can't last much longer.
"Ah, help—"
Guo Xiaofu's shrill cry for help came from above my head, and then I saw his body falling from a great height.
Huang Yan raised his hand in panic, trying to grab the other person, but he was too far away and failed to intercept him. "Fuck!"
Yang Mingzhong, who was guarding the rear at the bottom, swung out the rope in time, firmly wrapped it around Guo Xiaofu's waist and pulled him.
Guo Xiaofu, who survived the disaster, hung at Yang Mingzhong's feet and began to cry, "We can't get out... Are we going to die here... With that building above us, we can't get back to the refresh point... It's over..."
The others also looked bad.
There are only ten minutes left until the final settlement time.
The building was like a mountain pressing down on their heads.
They are just newbies and can't resist it no matter what.
Several people looked at the man beside them at the same time, "President, what should we do?"
