Before Shi Jinwei could speak, Shen Yibai spoke first: "Hello, we're from somewhere else. Would it be possible for us to join you?"

As he spoke, he pulled out several packets of compressed biscuits and water from his backpack: "This is our sincerity."

Seeing how polite he was, Shi Jinwei's eyes widened slightly behind the mask.

There was nothing he could do; the man simply gave him a very bad impression.

Seeing him like this now, she always felt that the man was up to no good.

The survivors upstairs weren't fools either. When they saw him take out supplies, they didn't immediately agree, and their gazes towards them were filled with scrutiny.

One of the men, who seemed to be the leader, said rather rudely, "Sorry, we don't need food, and we don't welcome outsiders."

This means that the people upstairs have probably already banded together.

None of the three were particularly good-natured. Since polite words didn't work, they were too lazy to argue and decided to beat these people into submission.

Just then, another female voice rang out from upstairs: "Ma Tianqi, you don't represent everyone."

The man who had just spoken stiffened almost imperceptibly upon hearing this voice.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a glamorous woman coming down from upstairs.

Her shapely cheongsam hugged her exquisite figure, and her movements as she descended the stairs were graceful and elegant.

The woman made Shi Jinwei, who was somewhat obsessed with looks, unable to resist staring at her.

"Hmph, you can't represent everyone, but you can represent everyone on our floor." Ma Tianqi didn't want to appear weak in front of a woman, so he said loudly.

The woman stopped in front of him, a head shorter than the man, but with a powerful aura: "Is that so? Then I can refuse you permission to come upstairs, right?"

After saying that, Ma Tianqi's face darkened further: "Lan Furong, you've already accepted our supplies, how can you go back on your word?"

"I'm happy to do it, so what? If you're not happy, let's fight." The woman in the cheongsam smiled charmingly, looking at Ma Tianqi with disdain.

Ma Tianqi clenched and unclenched his fists, glanced at the three people downstairs, and finally gave in, coldly saying to the people blocking the stairs, "Let them up."

Those people didn't dare to argue, and quickly moved the things aside to let the three of them come up.

Lan Furong stood directly in front of Ma Tianqi, looked the three of them up and down, and said, "Come with me."

With that, she turned and left, leaving Shi Jinwei and her friends looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ignoring Ma Tianqi's low spirits, she followed Lan Furong upstairs.

The upper floors were not blocked, and Lan Furong led people directly to the 24th floor.

Because it was an exhibition hall, it was also a large, single-level space with five or six people sitting or standing.

Seeing Lan Furong lead three people in, he immediately shifted his gaze: "Sister Lan, players?"

A trendy-looking boy chewing gum walked over and asked.

The other party immediately revealed their identity upon speaking, and the three reacted instinctively, immediately preparing for battle.

Lan Furong casually replied, "Probably. When I saw that Ma Tianqi wouldn't let anyone up, I just kept them here."

Hearing her answer, the others all gave her a mocking laugh: "That good-for-nothing."

Not understanding what was going on, but able to tell that Lan Furong seemed to be at odds with the man downstairs, the three of them didn't ask any more questions and stood there in silence.

After finishing her conversation with the people inside, Lan Furong turned to them and asked, "You're players, right?"

He nodded silently and took off his gas mask.

When Lan Furong saw Shen Yibai's face, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

When he looked at Shi Jinwei and Zhou Kexin, his expression softened.

Shi Jinwei, in particular, has no advantage in height, and her round face makes her look even younger.

Lan Furong stepped forward and grabbed her hand, then before she could react, she pinched her cheek: "What an adorable little girl, why do you always have such a long face?"

Shi Jinwei was stunned for a moment, then another arm reached out from behind her, separating her from Lan Furong: "Big sister, isn't it a bit inappropriate to start touching me like this right away?"

A man's voice rang out above her, his gaze toward Lan Furong as cold as ice.

Lan Furong smiled charmingly: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. Let me introduce myself, I'm Lan Furong, a player."

Zhou Kexin stepped forward and stood in front of her friends, showing off her "social butterfly" side: "Hello, Sister Furong, I'm Zhou Kexin, and these are my friends Shi Jinwei and Shen Yibai."

Shi Jinwei touched her little face and nodded slightly to Lan Furong.

Everyone likes to get close to pretty women, and she didn't feel like she was being taken advantage of.

I had let my guard down a little because of the other party's friendliness.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and Shen Yibai spoke up at the right time.

She secretly kept this mistake in mind to avoid it happening again.

Lan Furong observed the three of them working together, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "You're all players, right?"

They nodded. Right now, the only ones capable of roaming freely outside are probably the hunters and the players.

It's not surprising that the other party could guess it at a glance.

"Then stay here. Bring your own food. You can rest wherever you like. Don't go downstairs unless necessary." Lan Furong finished speaking and was about to leave.

Zhou Kexin wanted to ask something more, but Shi Jinwei stopped her and shook her head.

Seeing this, she stopped talking and, under the curious gazes of the group, chose a spot to sit down in a corner near the window.

It was getting dark, and the three of them were quite tired after running around all day. They decided to wait until they had more energy before discussing anything else.

After whispering among themselves, the three of them decided to take turns keeping watch that night. They then sat down, took out food from their backpacks, and began to eat.

Although the result was somewhat different from what they had imagined, it was still a good result.

Seeing that the three were staying quietly in the corner, the other players didn't bother them and chatted with their companions.

Shi Jinwei ate her food in small bites while listening intently to the conversation.

It was discovered that these five or six people were all players, and it seemed that they had immediately started sticking together for mutual support after entering the game.

She was the last one on night watch, and after eating, she rested on the table.

Shen Yibai was the second person on night watch. He wasn't interested in listening to what the others were saying, so he stretched his legs out on the table in front of him and closed his eyes.

Zhou Kexin was interested in exchanging information with the other players, but seeing that her friends didn't seem to have the same idea, she gave up on the idea and stared blankly out the window.

Later that night, the players stopped talking and found places to sleep, and the room became completely quiet.

Shi Jinwei slept soundly, but she remembered that she had to keep watch.

I went to bed early, so I woke up in the first half of the night and opened my eyes to find the room dimly lit and quiet.

Zhou Kexin was fast asleep on the table next to her, while Shen Yibai sat opposite them, idly fiddling with his phone.

The other end of the phone was plugged into a power bank that I didn't know where I found it.

Noticing someone staring at him, Shen Yibai raised his head slightly.

Seeing that Shi Jinwei was awake, he was about to say something when a piercing alarm suddenly sounded outside.
