Starting from the office buildings we kept passing through

Chapter 59 Temporary Stay on the 5th Floor

In the center of the room, Chen Hao held the Blood-Drinking Sword, surrounded by the corpses of Wetland Black Lizards.

"Mr. Chen, you're amazing."

The people standing around on the desks all looked excited.

"Mr. Chen killed all those large lizards."

"Great, we're saved."

These people couldn't help but hug each other, and tears streamed down their faces.

Only those who have experienced it know how complex their feelings are at that moment.

There was sadness, joy, relief, and helplessness.

Shen Mo looked at the several unrecognizable corpses on the ground, his face filled with sorrow and self-blame.

"If only I had Mr. Chen's abilities."

As he watched Chen Hao's retreating figure, he couldn't help but think, "Could this prevent this tragedy from happening?"

A seed of wanting to become stronger sprouted in his heart.

"Alright, these lizards are all dead, you can come down now."

"Then quickly move to a higher floor."

"As long as this rain keeps falling, these snakes and lizards will not disappear."

Chen Hao flicked the blood off his sword and addressed the crowd.

"Yes, Mr. Chen is right, let's leave quickly."

Shen Mo immediately began organizing people to move upstairs.

Meanwhile, Chen Hao, along with the others, continued to rescue the people trapped on the second floor.

If he has the ability to help, Chen Hao will not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

Soon, the survivors on the second floor gathered together.

They were surrounded by the carcasses of snakes, toads, water rats, and large lizards.

But no one showed fear on their face; they only looked relieved.

Before Chen Hao arrived, they had already seen these creatures countless times.

Some of them had even been bitten by snakes.

On the surface, there seems to be no problem, after all, they are just water snakes, not venomous snakes.

Some have been bitten by lizards.

These people reacted much more violently, and some even started to have fevers.

Whether they can pull through depends entirely on their physical condition.

The group helped each other as they ran upstairs, with Chen Hao following behind, cleaning up the various creatures that had been attracted to them.

He could clearly see that from time to time, creatures would surge up into the muddy water that had submerged half of the first-floor staircase and climb up the stairs.

Chen Hao couldn't kill them all; as soon as he finished one group, another surged up.

In fact, the large number of animal carcasses attracted even more lizards, snakes, and other creatures to enjoy the buffet.

Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Hao decided not to stay any longer and hurried upstairs.

On the third floor, Chen Hao met Kong Hao. "How's the situation?"

"The cleaning is almost done."

Kong Hao replied, "There weren't many snakes that ran into the third floor. Led by us, a group of people came out from the third floor and worked with us to quickly kill all the snakes and lizards."

"Of course, there are likely some hidden in the corners, which they will need to investigate themselves."

"Very good, well done."

After listening, Chen Hao patted Kong Hao on the shoulder.

Kong Hao was overjoyed and scratched his head.

On the fourth floor, there were even fewer snakes. Chen Zhong and a few others cleared them out in no time.

The crisis is temporarily over.

But Chen Hao knew that if the floodwaters didn't recede, more and more creatures would pour into the building from the floodwaters.

Lower floors are generally not very safe.

Of course, it's not without its advantages; at least more cards drop.

After clearing out those creatures, Chen Hao received over a hundred cards.

Of course, white cards make up the vast majority of them.

There are several blue cards, and even a purple card, which fell from the [Wetland Black Lizard].

But Chen Hao hadn't had time to watch it before.

Shen Mo led his people to the fifth floor, where Jiang Meiya invited them to stay temporarily.

She had her own reasons for doing this.

She had heard that snakes had already reached the fourth floor, and if it weren't for Chen Hao, they might have already climbed to the fifth floor.

This gave her a strong sense of crisis.

She wanted more people to face the potential dangers with her.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Mo accepted Jiang Meiya's invitation.

Seeing this, the other survivors on the second floor also wanted to stay on the fifth floor temporarily, but Jiang Meiya refused.

She invited Shen Mo because she knew him well, and both of them had worked with Chen Hao, so they were considered to be on the same side.

She didn't know the others, and who knew if she might be inviting trouble, since there were many women on their floor.

Therefore, the survivors had no choice but to find other places to live.

Of course, there are also some people who want to join Shen Mo's team, or even Chen Hao's team.

But neither of them agreed.

Shen Mo wasn't in the mood for that, while Chen Hao only needed elites.

"Mr. Chen, please come in and have a seat. It's raining outside anyway, so we can't go out."

Jiang Meiya's beautiful eyes fell on Chen Hao, and she extended a warm invitation.

Chen Hao thought about it for a moment, then nodded without refusing.

"Great, please come in."

Jiang Meiya was very happy and quickly invited Chen Hao inside.

Upon entering, Chen Hao discovered that the fifth floor was a huge office with a vast area.

Inside, there were women of all kinds, some sitting, some lying, and some standing.

Most of them were quite attractive, and some were even just as beautiful as Jiang Meiya.

Jiang Meiya can be considered a senior member of the "appearance association." The employees she selects, while not necessarily exceptionally beautiful, are at least not unattractive.

The arrival of Chen Hao and his group immediately startled the women.

Some women who were lying casually quickly tidied their clothes.

Many of the women looked at Chen Hao and the others in surprise.

"Mr. Jiang, what's this?"

One of the beauties, whose looks were no less than Jiang Meiya's, frowned and asked, her eyes filled with wariness.

"Xiaoxue, let me introduce you."

"This is the General Manager Chen I've been telling you about."

"This is silence."

Jiang Meiya introduced it enthusiastically.

"Is that Chen Hao?!"

Ren Xue looked Chen Hao up and down. "He doesn't seem to have any outstanding qualities."

She's heard the name Chen Hao so many times she's practically worn herself out. It's safe to say that, apart from Jiang Meiya, every woman who has met Chen Hao has talked about him.

Some are things I like, some are things I fear.

"This is Ren Xue, our company's HR manager."

Jiang Meiya introduced it to Chen Hao.

"Hello," Chen Hao nodded to Ren Xue.

Then, without paying much attention to it, he said to Jiang Meiya, "I'll be staying here for a while. Could you clear out a resting area for me?"

"Of course," Jiang Meiya's eyes lit up, and she quickly led Chen Hao to a well-lit area.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of this place?"

"Yes, this is the place."

Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction.

Then he instructed Zhao Long, "Call them over to assemble."

"Yes, Brother Chen."

Before long, the men that Chen Hao had brought with him gathered in front of him.

Not far away, a crowd watched this scene with great interest.

Especially the women, who liked to huddle together and whisper among themselves while watching.

Chen Hao ignored all of that and looked at everyone, asking, "Is everyone alright?"

"No," everyone replied in unison.

"That's good."

"I'll probably be staying here all day. Some of you will go back to the 18th floor, and some of you will stay here."

"Who wants to stay? Who wants to go back?"

"Raise your hand if you want to stay."

With a whoosh, the vast majority of people raised their hands.

Their eyes involuntarily drifted to the woman beside them; clearly, their motives for staying were not pure.

But Chen Hao certainly wouldn't let so many people stay, since the higher-ups also needed manpower.
