Just then, Zhu Yan from Room 5 suggested that everyone dismantle the wooden beds in the vacant dorms to obtain wooden sticks.

College students might be a controversial group, but they never lacked imagination or initiative.

Especially in times like these.

Everyone in the entire dorm building sprang into action, proactively hunting down zombies.

There were some conflicts and all sorts of messy bullshit along the way. People cursed and argued in the chatroom, and some were infected by zombies that had awakened.

But no matter what, the overall atmosphere was moving in a positive direction.

Everyone could see hope for survival.

Today was the fourth day since the apocalypse began. There were still few people who had purely starved to death, and there were nearly two hundred people left in the whole dorm building. Clearing out those zombies should not be a problem.

In Dorm 200, Cao Yaxuan turned around, her eyes shining as she looked at Xu Lang. "Xu Lang, it looks like we might survive."

"If you want to go out and kill zombies, go by yourself," Xu Lang said blandly.

"I never said I was going out. I was just sharing the good news with you." Cao Yaxuan did not have a hole in her head—of course she did not want to risk going out to kill zombies.

Xu Lang suddenly said, "So far, zombies generally match what we know about them from our culture, and ordinary zombies usually aren't the only variety."

"So there's a high probability that other types of zombies will appear later."

"Or maybe some terrifying zombies will suddenly show up on the last day and give everyone a surprise!"

Cao Yaxuan's delighted expression froze at his words.

Xu Lang did not think he was particularly smart, capable of seeing a future that no one else could see.

A lot of people had probably sensed this already.

Like he said... no one was stupid.

They just had not voiced it.

"You should just stay home and be a useless little thing, got it?" Xu Lang curled his lip.

"You're brainwashing me again." Cao Yaxuan pouted.

An extreme environment really could change a person.

Take Cao Yaxuan, for example.

In the past, even if Xu Lang really had been her boyfriend, she would never have acted like such a delicate young woman.

But now, she was not getting enough sugar, lacked sleep and food, and found it difficult to maintain the same level of thought she had at her peak. Coupled with Xu Lang's forceful manner, she naturally became somewhat dependent on him, her attachment to him increasing drastically.

Just then, a faint sensation came through. Sensing something, Xu Lang opened his private messages.

[170 Tong Qi: It's a little chaotic right now. Can I come later?] [200 Xu Lang: I'll wait one more hour at most]

Tong Qi was telling the truth. It really was chaotic outside right now.

But even if she broke the appointment, Xu Lang would find it perfectly normal.

After all, things were in full swing outside. Quite a few people probably truly felt that their old lives were gone for good.

I should've opened the door back then.

Xu Lang secretly regretted it.

Wang Tingting's comfort level was not high, but it was still 40.

As for Wu Huihui, her comfort level had been fucked right out of existence.

She would probably have nightmares even if she hugged someone in her sleep.

Tong Qi was very lucky. The side of the building Wu Huihui, the God of War, was clearing happened to be the corridor where she was.

God of War!

That was the players' new nickname for her.

More than ten people had gathered around her now, determined to fight their way all the way down to the first floor.

After filling her own stomach, she had even generously shared food with the others.

Actually, she had not eaten her fill.

But the praise and flattery from those around her really made her feel as though she were floating on air.

She had never received this kind of treatment before.

The high-spirited Wu Huihui had no idea that the teams in the other corridors were taking turns killing zombies, while she alone charged ahead and took on all the dangerous work.

[186 Wang Tingting: Anyone on the ninth floor want to join us? Sister Hui is leading the team.] [174 Zhou Daxiong: Wait for me, I'm coming out right away!]

[169 Li Wenbo: Wait for Me Too!]

Wu Huihui's team did not go door to door recruiting teammates.

After all, some dorm rooms might be hiding zombies.

Their main goal was still to go downstairs and find supplies, not kill zombies.

Such a massive commotion forced the players on the first and second floors to speed up their search for supplies.

Monsters always dropped something when killed—that was a feature of the Dormitory Survival Game—but most of the time, they only dropped copper coins of unknown use, which were far less practical than unsearched supplies.

Tong Qi had stayed in her dorm all along. When Wu Huihui and the others began clearing the ninth-floor hallway, she slipped up to the tenth floor.

Some people saw her, but no one said anything.

Although Tong Qi was beautiful, what time was it now? Even the most rabid simps would eventually burn out.

They had agreed on an hour at the latest, but Tong Qi arrived before that hour was up, greatly satisfying Xu Lang.

"You open the door." Xu Lang held a baseball bat and stood a little farther away.

"Why?" Cao Yaxuan knew Tong Qi had arrived and was reluctant, but she still went over and opened the door.

The score-grinding Pal had come knocking!

She really was a pretty little thing, and there was no Da Zhuang behind her.

Xu Lang looked at the somewhat timid Tong Qi and said happily, "Come in."

[Name: Tong Qi]

[Qualifications: A bug that could die at any moment]

[Room Number: 170 (Owner)]

[Comfort: 87, can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 87%]

Bang.

The door closed.

Xu Lang gave the final tenant slot to Tong Qi, then began his grand score-grinding plan. The moment she agreed to become a tenant, the key to Dorm 170 automatically appeared in the lock of Dorm 170's door.

Before grinding points, Xu Lang gave Tong Qi something to eat and drink, and had her wash her face.

Xu Lang used the face-washing water first, then the two women used it afterward.

They still had to save where they could.

Cao Yaxuan's Comfort had always been 96, making her very resilient.

Tong Qi's Comfort, however, soared straight to 90!

This gave Xu Lang the idea of giving both women a bath.

Unfortunately, water was still too scarce right now, so it could only remain an idea.

Outside, the flames of war raged; inside Dorm 200, the artillery fire raged as well.

"So tired."

That was Xu Lang's thought before going to sleep.

To make sure Comfort would take effect, he kept firing without pause.

Yeah, it was mainly to make sure Comfort would take effect, definitely not because he was getting a little carried away!
