Three hours later, all the threats across the ten floors had been eliminated, and no new zombies appeared.
At the same time, only 101 living people remained in the entire Dormitory Building.
With an impressive score of 87, Wang Ao held first place on the leaderboard.
Judging from the leaderboard's design, the Survival Game encouraged everyone to risk their lives outside.

The dawn of the fifth day pierced through the Blood Mist and spread over the Dormitory Building.
In the corridors littered with mangled corpses, blood was either fresh or dried up. Under the crimson sunlight, it looked strangely brilliant.
"I'll definitely be the one who survives until the end!"
Wang Yang pushed open his dormitory door, his eyes bloodshot.
He had been injured last night as well. If he had not killed a special zombie in time, he would have died too.
All the "bosses" shared Wang Yang's certainty of victory as they dragged their battered bodies out of their dorm rooms.
These "big brothers" had to guard the resource points early in the morning, lest someone steal their territory.
Those resource points that could produce good items had already been tacitly accepted as their turf.
If they had not feared danger, they would have slept right at the resource points.
Whenever Xu Lang had nothing to do, he sat cross-legged in Meditation.
It cleared his thoughts and kept his mind alert.
Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi woke up one after another. Seeing that only a hundred people remained in the chatroom, they found it horrifying.
Surviving the zombie attacks did not mean everyone was safe. Some people would still die from their injuries or illnesses.
Besides, Players could fight among themselves too.
Just imagine it—if Zhou Tao were lying at home right now, severely injured, would Xu Lang want to kill him?
Of course he would!
"Xu Lang, open the door!!!"
"What was up with you last night? Why didn't you come out?"
"Open up, Xu Lang! How did your door get upgraded? Is this a level-three door?"
"Xu Lang, I want to become your tenant!"
Early that morning, Dormitory 200's doorway was surrounded by people again.
Besides the local residents of the tenth floor, some Players had specifically come to the tenth floor hoping to switch dorms.
The moment they arrived, they saw Xu Lang's distinctive door.
"Xu Lang, what should we do?" Tong Qi was a little frightened. The knocking outside was getting louder and louder.
Xu Lang shook his head. "Ignore them. Even when the Giant Strength Zombie rammed the door yesterday, its durability didn't drop."
Cao Yaxuan had already grown accustomed to it. She acted as if she could not hear the knocking outside and kept flipping through the chatroom logs.
This young lady was not completely foolish. She knew to gather intelligence whenever she could.
Just then, Xu Lang received a private message.
[44 Wang Ao: Brother, I heard your front door was upgraded. How did you do it?]
Wang Ao had switched dorms while remaining the room owner.
In the Survival Game, room owners needed a key to another room in order to switch dorms.
As the leader of a group, it was probably not difficult for Wang Ao to change dorms.
Xu Lang did not reply to Wang Ao's message.
He did not know how to answer, nor did he need to.
Wang Ao did not press the matter either.
Wang Ao felt that Xu Lang was somewhat dangerous. He still had to guard his resource point and had no time to provoke a new enemy.
Thus, Xu Lang ignored them all until drowsiness came over him.
The Players outside soon left as well.
They had been busy all night and were exhausted in both body and mind. Their energy levels were nowhere near Xu Lang's.
Xu Lang stretched, wrapped an arm around Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi, and fell fast asleep.
He was so at ease because the Players had figured something out over the past few days.
Tenants needed to ask the room owner for permission before they could open the door.
That was quite user-friendly.
Otherwise, if the room owner went out one day and the tenants joined forces with outsiders to loot the room, that would be quite something.
To put it bluntly, tenants were parasites of the room owner, similar to knights and lords.
[1 day 14 hours 30 minutes remaining until the game ends]
Xu Lang woke up after exactly another eight hours.
Even his biological clock had gotten used to it.
[Base Nightmare Coins: 40. Conversion rate: 196%. Total output over eight hours: 118 Nightmare Coins] [Total Nightmare Coins: 264]
There's only one day left in the Survival Game. I'll upgrade the Nightmare Bed after it ends, Xu Lang thought to himself.
The prerequisite for lying low and developing was being able to keep lying low. If he spent all his Nightmare Coins and the Survival Game pulled something big on the last day, he would end up dying with everyone else. That would not be worth it.
His current life was quite comfortable.
By the usual pattern, night would not fall until twelve o'clock, which meant Xu Lang still had two and a half leisurely hours.
He was not without things to do during those two and a half hours.
First, he ate and drank to maintain his strength, then briefly looked through the chatroom.
That took half an hour.
After that, he began his grand shopping spree!
Based on what he had learned from last night, he could almost confirm that his dormitory door was invincible!
With such flawless protection, it did not matter if he showed off a little wealth.
After several days of fluctuations, the Trading Network had gradually stabilized.
At present, Players were most desperate for four types of supplies: dormitory door upgrade blueprints, iron, medicine, and water.
Xu Lang did not have the first three, but he had more than enough water!
Canned beef, buy!
French bread, buy!
Instant noodles, buy!
Ham sausages, buy!
Empty paper cups, buy!
Clean female student uniforms, buy!
Toothpaste, buy!
Buy, buy, buy...
Nearly half the water in Xu Lang's bucket was gone, replaced by piles of supplies stacked in the corners of the dorm room.
Then, he posted a trade listing on the Trading Network.
[Seller: Xu Lang] [Item: 1 liter of water] [Price: 500 Copper Coins per portion / 5 portions] [Quantity: 5 portions] [Additional information: Already asleep. Don't private message me. Buy directly if you want it.]
The price of 500 Copper Coins was set after Xu Lang's observations. Anyone who was not too poor could afford it.
At first, the listing did not attract much attention, until someone shouted about it in the chatroom.
In an instant, Xu Lang's five liters of water sold out.
That was right—instantly!!
One had to know that water was currently the most desperately needed resource. Even those who had water had begun setting up recycling systems.
That showed just how valuable water was!
And Copper Coins?
No one knew what they were for yet!
If they did not take up no inventory slots, no one would even bother picking them up.
At the same time, a large number of people added Xu Lang as a friend.
If anyone seriously counted, nearly ninety percent of the Players had sent Xu Lang friend requests.
The chatroom erupted as well.
[186 Wang Tingting: @Xu Lang, you're so rich!] [5 Zhu Yan: @Xu Lang, Lang Ge, tell us! Did you Awaken the Tycoon System?] [112 Wu Leiting: @Zhu Yan, Lord Lang has lots of supplies, not lots of money. He may have found a hidden resource point.] [195 Rammed Rock: Impossible. I've never even seen Xu Lang open his door!] [148 Wang Yue: @Xu Lang, just open the door once. I'll only stay inside for an hour before leaving. I guarantee I'll make you feel good. I don't want much.]
Xu Lang treated it as though he had seen nothing. He walked over to the water dispenser and pressed a green button on its body.
A consumption notification immediately appeared in his vision.
[Copper Coins -100]
Xu Lang held down the green button, and the water in the dispenser kept rising until it was soon full.
All told, Xu Lang had spent only 1,500 Copper Coins!
Not only had he refilled the water, he still had 1,000 Copper Coins left over!
With just one round trip, without doing much of anything, he had made nearly a fivefold trade profit!
"So this is what a monopoly feels like. It's fucking awesome!"
Xu Lang's eyes shone with excitement.
