The sleepless army gained another member.
Xu Lang slept on the outer edge of the bed, Cao Yaxuan lay in the middle in his arms, and Tong Qi slept on the innermost side.
The two women stared wide-eyed at each other, both finding it hard to keep themselves together.
On the first day of the game, Cao Yaxuan would have had the courage to go out and take a chance.
Although the number of survivors had now dropped by more than half, things outside had been especially lively today.
But after lying low with Xu Lang for several days, that bit of fighting spirit had faded away.
Lying low was just too comfortable!
In fact, these past few days, she had imagined plenty of scenes where the two of them struggled to survive together, even plots where they risked their lives to save each other...
She had even imagined something that absurd.
But she had never imagined Xu Lang would be this horny!
With that little bit of capital, did he have enough to go around if he kept recruiting—uh, actually, he seemed to have plenty!
From what she had observed, water was still a scarce resource.
If Xu Lang revealed the information about that bucket of water, every student would definitely come knocking on Dormitory 200's door!
Cao Yaxuan's eyes darted around as thoughts raced through her mind, but Tong Qi did not have so many thoughts.
Her large, adorable eyes looked at Cao Yaxuan as she suddenly sent her a friend request.
[200 Tong Qi: Hello.]
Cao Yaxuan curled her lips and reluctantly accepted the friend request.
[200 Cao Yaxuan: When are you planning to leave?]
[200 Tong Qi: Ah...]
[200 Cao Yaxuan: Now that we've found the zombies' weakness, it's not that dangerous outside anymore. You can take a chance.]
[200 Tong Qi: Then why aren't you going?]
[200 Cao Yaxuan: Do you think Xu Lang would let me leave? He clings to me like crazy.]
Tong Qi pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at Cao Yaxuan's stocking handcuffs, saying nothing.
Cao Yaxuan felt a little awkward too and hurriedly found another angle.
[200 Cao Yaxuan: Let me be straight with you. Xu Lang is really weak. If you stay here, sooner or later he'll die in bed.]
In an instant, Tong Qi's face turned as red as a cooked shrimp. She wanted to turn away, but she was afraid of waking Xu Lang.
Yet for some reason, talking about this made her a little excited.
[200 Tong Qi: No, I felt a little pain.]
[200 Cao Yaxuan: Silly girl, pain means he's no good!]
[200 Tong Qi: It's fine. Three minutes is great too, and I don't really like this either.]
What was going on... Wasn't Cao Yaxuan supposed to be a goddess... Why did she seem so horny...
Cao Yaxuan immediately looked furious. As she taught Tong Qi about romance, she also disparaged Xu Lang.
If Xu Lang found out, he would definitely give her a couple of smacks.
She could say anything else, but spreading dirty rumors was not okay!
[200 Cao Yaxuan: I'm telling you... Don't tell me you don't believe me...]
[200 Tong Qi: Go on... I believe you...]
From then on, the two women chatted with great enthusiasm.
When Cao Yaxuan got talking, she had the air of a village elder holding forth—one moment analyzing the origins of the Survival Game, the next criticizing current affairs as she discussed the survival rates of other students, speaking with great conviction.
Tong Qi was completely bewildered as she listened, thinking, A rich girl really is a rich girl. She knows so much...
Seeing the fangirl-like look in Tong Qi's eyes, Cao Yaxuan felt unbelievably pleased.
It felt even better than drinking a cup of cool boiled water!
She could not help it—she had been holding it in for too long!
None of the young ladies in her social circle had entered the Survival Game, while Xu Lang was someone who did not like talking.
In this survival game, loneliness was also a trial.
Although there were many people in the Chat Room, barely anyone was willing to chat idly.
An hour later.
[200 Cao Yaxuan: From now on, just stay here without worry. No one can drive you away. I said so!!]
When Xu Lang woke up, he found that both women were asleep, their soft breathing audible.
Judging by the game countdown, he had slept for eight hours.
The first thing he did was still open the Chat Room.
Information was often the most important survival tool.
The very first thing he saw startled Xu Lang.
At the top of the Chat Room was clearly displayed: [Chat Room 153/400]!
Why had so many people died again?
From the chat messages, Xu Lang roughly figured out the reason.
The cause of death was simple.
Fighting over territory!!!
The cafeteria, equipment room, and school building were all rare locations!
The cafeteria was likely to yield food, the equipment room was likely to yield weapons, and the school building was likely to yield blueprints.
Skipping over the useless garbage messages, the students had now mainly formed three groups.
First, the lower-floor residents led by Wang Yang, Jin Xin, and Zhou Tao had occupied the equipment room.
Second, the ultra-masculine group led by Wang Ao had occupied the cafeteria.
Third, Wu Huihui led a group of Players with little strength, but they had the largest numbers and had occupied the school building.
What Xu Lang found most unbelievable was that Wang Ao had risen again!
It had to be said that in an apocalyptic environment like this, ruthless people like Wang Ao really had a certain personal charisma.
Most importantly, he was generous and willing to protect his underlings. When he went head-to-head with those lower-level Players, he truly charged in!
That made some Players who believed in the law of the jungle feel that following Wang Ao gave them the best chance of surviving!
Humans were the creatures best able to adapt to their environment. After several days of this apocalyptic game, everyone's mentality had already undergone a transformation.
They were no longer ordinary students!
They were Players!
Players in the Survival Game!
This lesson should make everyone recognize what kind of game this was!
But then again, zombies seemed to have truly become playthings now. A lot of people had actually started taking the initiative to hunt zombies.
The supplies those people found had become more abundant, and many people had upgraded their Room Doors...
The scariest part was Wang Yang's group. They actually found bullets in the equipment room. That was a very dangerous signal!
But... none of that had anything to do with me. I just needed to keep lying low!
Xu Lang's expression changed several times before he finally closed the Chat Room.
Dealing with fewer people was the best choice.
Humans were truly unstable sometimes. Just think about team-based competitive games—if people could send kitchen knives through the internet cable, who knew how many murder cases would happen in a single day.
In eight hours, Xu Lang could earn 40 basic Nightmare Coins. The conversion rates of the Nightmare Bed, Cao Yaxuan, and Tong Qi added up to 196%, combined with the 133 he had left over from before.
Xu Lang now had—
[Total Nightmare Coins: 251]
His Nightmare Coins had directly broken through the two-hundred mark!
Everything in sight could be upgraded!
Including the Nightmare Bed!
Xu Lang was hesitating over how to use these Nightmare Coins when the Dormitory Broadcast sounded again, helping him make up his mind.
[Dormitory Broadcast: On the fourth night, three new types of zombies with strong attacking urges have appeared!] [The points leaderboard has opened. Killing zombies can earn points!] [When the game ends, the top ten dormitories on the points leaderboard will be upgraded, while the top three will receive additional special rewards!] [Zombies are limited tonight and will not respawn!] [Players, guard your dormitories well!]
