Chapter 44: Stranded
“I did not know there was soone here. I knocked on the door, but no one answered.” Wang Wen threw the hamr away and raised her hands to make herself look harmless.
The gunman at the stairway did not show his head. He said in a muffled voice, “You think you can break through the window just because no one answered?”
Wang Wen thought for a mont.
He said innocently, “I was too hungry. I’m sorry. I’ll leave right away.”
The gunman did not say anything more. He pointed the muzzle to show his consent.
Wang Wen slowly bent down, dragged the hamr, and slowly retreated. He climbed out the window again.
It was not until he stood outside the window and found a cover that he shouted, “Are you stranded? Is there anything you need help with?”
The gunman inside was silent for a mont. He said coldly, “I don’t understand what you’re saying. Leave imdiately, or I’ll shoot.”
Wang Wen quietly took out a small mirror to observe the situation in the house. “Give a chance. I’m serious. I can bring you food, water, dicine, and even weapons and ammunition as long as you’re willing to communicate.”
The gunman thought for a long ti. Perhaps he did lack so essential items. He finally asked in puzzlent, “How did you know?”
Wang Wen was relieved.
As long as the other party was willing to communicate, it would be easy.
He answered, “Those bikers obviously don’t understand our words. I can infer that the checkpoint was most likely in a foreign language. I did not bring any equipnt, like a synchronous translator, so I knew it when you opened your mouth.”
The sound of fists hamring against the wall ca faintly from the villa.
One could imagine how upset the gunman was.
However, he was a straightforward person. Since his identity had been exposed, he did not avoid it. He was curious why Wang Wen did not leave even though he had completed the level. Did he also want to stay in the tower forever and never leave?
Wang Wen said, “I need the Master Key.”
When the other party heard that, he imdiately said, “No problem. I’ll give you the Master Key. How long will it take for you to return here?”
“Depends on what you need.” Wang Wen looked at the small mirror. “If you want sothing above the 100th floor, then maybe we’ll never see each other again in this lifeti. I won’t be able to co back once it resets on Sunday.”
“You haven’t reached the 100th floor?” The gunman was shocked. “Then why are you so arrogant? And you know so much about the people stranded here?
Wang Wen said, “I just want to stay within the first 100 floors this week. Furthermore, stranded people here are not a big secret. Many holess people love to play this ga.”
It seed like a sore spot with the gunman. He shouted angrily, “I’m not a holess beggar!”
“Okay, okay.” Wang Wen comforted him casually and went back to the topic. “So, what do you want?”
The gunman hesitated and said, “I’m not sure if there’s anything I want on the 100th floor. I want an item that can take photos and take them out of the tower.”
Wang Wen frowned. “You an like a cell phone?”
“I know it’s difficult. It doesn’t have to be electronic. An ordinary film cara can do it too,” the gunman said.
“That’s unconventional.” Wang Wen searched through his mory. “I can only say that I’ll try my best to help you look for it. I can’t guarantee that there will be one.”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it.”
The first half of the gunman’s sentence made Wang Wen’s heart warm.
The second half of his sentence was an instant kill. “Anyway, I will only give you the Master Key when you bring what I want.”
“Hey, hey.” Wang Wen called out unhappily. “There are many Master Keys on the market. One only costs a few hundred points. The thing you want is not that common!”
The gunman also knew that he had gone a little overboard.
He asked, “Then what do you want? I can’t just give it to you. What if you run away?’
“At least you have to pay a deposit first!” Wang Wen’s small mirror reflected the long-barreled shotgun.
...
The World Tower’s 11th floor.
It was a familiar floor.
Wang Wen held the hamr in his left hand and the gun in his right hand. He knocked left and right and quickly dismantled all the chanisms.
The 12th floor.
He was unlucky to encounter the movent chanism.
He had no choice but to bury his head and run.
Most of the energy he had accumulated along the way was lost instantly.
The 13th floor.
It was the floor with the limited-ti secret room that was scientifically decrypted.
There was no danger before the ti was up. He could decrypt it in peace. He could even eat, drink, and recuperate in peace if he wanted to do that.
When the ti was up, the entire room would collapse.
One would be blasted away if one was not strong enough to withstand the earthquakes and falling rocks.
The 14th floor.
The floor with the illusion.
The content was quite ordinary. It had no effect at all, especially with Wang Wen’s ntal strength.
It only made him sleepy.
The 15th floor.
It was Wang Wen’s favorite survival series.
He wanted to eat, drink, and be happy. He only needed to find the entrance to the next floor before midnight or noon.
Then he was on the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th floors.
The all-powerful climber passed those floors smoothly without any delay.
The 20th floor.
It was an even number, so it was an extre level.
Before the entrance, the micro-scanning aircraft assigned him to so random team mbers.
Wang Wen carried the gun on his back. He entered the level with a tight grip on his hamr.
He did not find any caras on the previous nine floors.
He hoped that there would be good news on the remaining 80 floors.
Otherwise, he could only purchase it out of his pocket.
Light and shadow swirled in front of him.
When he reappeared, he was standing in a spacious and clean white hall.
When Wang Wen saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu.
Just like on the previous 10th floor, there were three n and a woman in the hall.
He had nothing to say about the n.
However, it was that woman again!
Wang Wen felt as if his head was about to explode.
The other party noticed the new arrival and looked up. She was also slightly stunned.
Then, she revealed a beautiful smile, which almost made the three n beside her drool.
That was all.
She did not deliberately greet him.
Wang Wen did not want anyone to know that he knew the woman.
The two sides understood that they would not expose each other.
The witch would not expose Wang Wen’s strength.
Wang Wen would not expose the witch’s strength.
He quietly held the hamr and waited for them to open the checkpoint.
One of the n, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimd glasses, said to the woman, “That’s right, ladies should smile more. Look at how beautiful you look when you smile. Don’t be nervous. I will get you through this level!”
The woman nodded and said, “Thank you.”
The gold-rimd-glasses man smiled widely. He looked at Wang Wen and said, “Alright, we have enough people. Let’s begin.”
His gaze stopped at the gun behind Wang Wen’s back for a mont, but he did not care and moved away. He summoned the aircraft to announce the start of the level.
“Level 20, begin.”
The walls moved as the chanical voice faded.
The initially clean white walls seed to have co alive as they squird and trembled as they fell.
Every wall that fell to the ground had mouths and feet. So even had transparent wings that were several tis larger than them.
Those were insects!
Those were densely packed insects!
The woman imdiately cried out.
