The people outside were blocking the door, while those inside remained completely unaware.

The factory's interior was larger than expected.

Passing through the production workshop, there was a row of massive cold storage rooms at the back.

Huang Tang pushed open the door to the cold storage.

A blast of cold air hit him in the face.

Inside were rows of neatly arranged shelves, piled high with frozen meat.

Pork, beef, lamb, all categorized and neatly sealed in plastic bags.

"This..." Su Qing's mouth dropped open, "How much is there?"

Huang Tang roughly estimated, "At least dozens of tons. Enough for the twenty or so of us to eat for years."

"We've hit the jackpot!" Jiang Jing'an jumped up excitedly, "Huang Tang, you're amazing!"

Huang Tang smiled as he opened the System Space and began storing the meat inside.

Slabs of pork, boxes of beef, were continuously stored away.

The System Space had no weight limit, only a capacity limit, but it was enough to hold all of this.

After nearly twenty minutes, only half of the cold storage was empty.

After storing the meat, Huang Tang was about to leave when he caught sight of something different piled in the corner of the cold storage.

He walked over to take a look.

Cement.

Bags of cement, neatly stacked, at least twenty bags.

Next to it was steel, bundles of rebar, at least a hundred pieces.

Further in, a yellow iron box lay quietly in the corner.

[Discovered: Bronze Treasure Chest ×1]

Huang Tang's eyes lit up.

"This is..." Cai Lin walked over and saw it too, "a resource point!"

"Yes." Huang Tang nodded, "A resource point set up by the game, specifically for players to explore."

He couldn't help but feel curious.

He had stumbled upon it by accident, but the people outside were clearly here with a purpose.

Huang Tang boldly speculated that among the people outside, someone must have a talent related to discovering resource points!

That's why they were desperately trying to get in!

"Too bad they can't get in." Jiang Jing'an giggled, "It's all ours now."

Huang Tang stored the cement, steel, and treasure chest into the System Space, then checked the time.

There was still over an hour left.

"That's about it, let's get ready to leave."

The four of them retraced their steps, and when they reached the factory entrance, Huang Tang glanced out the window and then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Cai Lin asked.

Huang Tang stepped aside, "Take a look."

Cai Lin leaned over and her expression changed.

The group outside hadn't left.

Not only had they not left, but they had also set up a formation at the entrance, with eight people blocking the only exit, weapons in hand, watching intently.

"They want to ambush us when we go out." Su Qing grew nervous, "Rob and kill us!"

"Most likely." Huang Tang nodded.

A voice called out from the entrance, "Friends inside, come out and let's talk!"

It was the voice of the man with glasses.

"We know you have the supplies," he continued, "Let's make a deal. You give us half the meat and that treasure chest, and we'll let you go. How about it?"

Huang Tang didn't respond.

The fact that they knew about the treasure chest inside, despite not having entered, confirmed his suspicion!

It seemed there were quite a few talented players outside as well...

He would have to be more cautious in the future!

"Don't think about forcing your way out," the man with glasses continued, "We have eight people, all armed, and all have awakened talents. Coming out would mean death for you, so why not cooperate?"

Cai Lin whispered, "What should we do?"

Huang Tang didn't speak. If it were just eight people, with his body enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, he could take them all down without much effort.

But if they had truly awakened some powerful talent, it could lead to unexpected trouble.

The game had just begun, so it was better to be cautious.

His gaze swept across the factory, finally landing on several large iron barrels in the corner of the production workshop.

Labels on the barrels read: [Pig Blood] [Pending Processing]

A slow smile spread across Huang Tang's face.

"I have an idea."

"What idea?" The three of them gathered around.

Huang Tang pointed at the barrels, "What do you think will happen if we pour out this pig blood?"

Cai Lin was momentarily stunned, then her eyes lit up, "The smell of blood... will attract zombies!"

"Exactly." Huang Tang smiled, "Zombies from all over the city will be drawn here by the scent of blood."

Jiang Jing'an excitedly said, "But the zombies won't attack us!"

"Bingo." Huang Tang snapped his fingers, "The people outside will be in big trouble."

They got to work immediately!

The four of them worked together to move the barrels of pig blood to the factory entrance.

Huang Tang opened the barrel lids and gave them a strong push.

The bright red blood flowed out, spreading across the ground and quickly forming a river of blood that flowed into the street.

One barrel, two barrels, three barrels...

After pouring out over a dozen barrels of pig blood, the entire factory entrance had become a sea of blood.

The strong scent of blood quickly spread, carried by the wind in all directions.

In less than five minutes, low growls could be heard in the distance.

A zombie appeared at the street corner, followed by two, three, ten, dozens...

They sniffed the scent of blood, swaying as they gathered toward the factory.

More and more of them.

The eight people at the entrance were initially unresponsive, but when they saw the horde of zombies swarming from the end of the street, their faces turned pale.

"Damn!"

"Why are there so many zombies?!"

"Run!"

The man with glasses panicked too, but he still had a shred of rationality, staring intently at the factory door, "It's those people inside! They poured out the blood! Madmen! They're insane!"

"Boss, we have to run! If we don't, it'll be too late!"

The man with glasses looked at the zombie horde closing in from all sides, then at the factory door, and finally gritted his teeth, "Retreat!"

The eight of them fled in a panic, desperately running in the direction with fewer zombies.

But there were too many zombies, and soon some of the stragglers were caught, their screams echoing.

Huang Tang stood by the second-floor window of the factory, watching the scene below.

The group scattered in all directions, some caught by zombies, others fleeing separately.

At least three or four of them didn't make it, swallowed by the zombie horde.

"Truly unfortunate," he said calmly, "If you want to rob and kill, you have to face the consequences."

Jiang Jing'an clung to his arm, "Huang Tang, you're so clever! You even thought of this!"

"It's time for us to go too."

Huang Tang led the way downstairs and pushed open the factory door.

The street outside had become an ocean of zombies, with countless figures swaying.

Huang Tang stepped out, and the zombies brushed past him, ignoring him completely.

The three women followed behind him, and the four of them moved through the zombie horde.

Some zombies bumped into them, only to glance blankly before continuing to follow the scent of blood.

After walking for over ten minutes, they finally left the densely packed area of zombies and returned to where they had parked.

The pickup truck was still there, intact.

Huang Tang started the vehicle and drove back the way they had come.

An hour later, they returned to the street where they had first entered.

The dark red light gate still hovered there.

Huang Tang stopped the car, and the four of them got out, taking one last look at the city.

In the distance, the direction of the factory was still swarming with zombies, their growls faintly audible.

"Let's go," Huang Tang said.

The four of them passed through the light gate.

A flash of white light.

In the next second, they were standing inside a two-story wooden house!
