Just like that, Xu Lang repeated the process and nearly swept up every Copper Coin on the market, becoming the Dormitory Building's biggest water supplier.
Many people were curious about what Xu Lang wanted Copper Coins for, but he never said anything, so they could only spend them.
A bird in the hand was worth two in the bush.
After all, many people were genuinely on the verge of dying of thirst. Otherwise, Xu Lang could never have lured Tong Qi over with a single cup of water.
Something like this could only happen in such an extreme environment. No one would even dare imagine it in a peaceful society.
After collecting all the Copper Coins, Xu Lang saw that people were still asking for water in the chatroom, so he continued purchasing things with water.
He bought whatever caught his eye!
After all, he had no shortage of water!
[Funds: Copper Coins 10,100, Silver Coins 0, Gold Coins 0]
Over ten thousand Copper Coins!
Xu Lang dared say that no one in the Dormitory Building was richer than him.
Anyone who had played games knew that if there was currency, there had to be somewhere to spend it!
While everyone else was focused on the present, Xu Lang was betting on the future!
Time passed. Several more groups came to Dormitory 200's door, but Xu Lang ignored them all.
The owner acted as though he was not home, yet the shelves kept getting restocked. It was infuriating!
Some people complained that Xu Lang was keeping secrets to himself, while others were deeply grateful to him. Without Xu Lang, they would not have gotten a single drop of water.
After Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi woke up, they asked Xu Lang what was going on and why so many people had added them.
Xu Lang gave them the standard answer.
—Ignore them!
Just like that, as everyone harbored their own ulterior motives, the sky gradually darkened.
[Time remaining until the game ends: 1 day, 12 hours, 1 minute] [Dormitory Broadcast: Fifth night. The rules have been upgraded. The zombies are all gathering in one place. No one knows why...]
A long time passed after the Dormitory Broadcast, yet no zombie cries rang out in the darkness.
Some bolder people opened their Room Doors and discovered that the zombies were intermittently gathering in one direction.
"That's the direction of the Gymnasium. What's happening there?!"
Wang Yang stood in the corridor, and his pupils contracted violently at the sight.
A sense of foreboding rose in his heart, as though dark clouds were pressing down on him.
The chatroom soon began discussing the matter.
But no one had any clue what was going on.
Wang Ao wanted to organize people to kill the zombies, but the problem was that the zombies were all out in the open and had not entered the building.
Who the hell dared fight a horde of zombies out in the open?!
Wang Ao also felt that the risk was too great, so the matter was dropped.
Just like that, everyone spent three anxious hours on edge. Finally, someone could no longer hold back and decided to take a look at the Gymnasium.
That person was Zhang Dahai, a Player from the second floor.
During last night's zombie assault, he had killed a Sprinting Zombie and obtained a Sprint skill. His movement speed rivaled that of a provincial-level sprinter.
The chatroom could not record videos, but it could take pictures.
Zhang Dahai hurried along in small steps while uploading the photos he took to the chatroom.
Other than the few Players who were too sleepy and had fallen asleep, everyone was watching this picture livestream.
"Seriously, not a single one of those people was willing to come with me... Those zombies are obviously charging up for something big!" Although Zhang Dahai had taken a brave step forward, his mind kept churning uneasily.
Before long, he climbed onto the Gymnasium's ventilation duct and looked inside. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and he nearly fell.
The Gymnasium was packed with zombies as far as the eye could see.
They had formed three circles.
At the center of each circle was a bizarre zombie devouring its own kind!
[Mutant Zombie] [Level: 1] [Skill: Devour] [Description: A zombie currently mutating!]
When Zhang Dahai posted this information along with the photos in the chatroom, everyone held their breath in terror.
"They're cannibalizing each other!" Wang Yang cried out, bloodshot veins bursting in his eyes.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong?"
His two roommates immediately looked at him.
Three Players sharing a dorm room was currently the best arrangement.
If every Player upgraded their own dormitory, it would consume too many resources. Moreover, there would be no one to support them in a crisis.
"Look at the information I sent!" Wang Yang's eyes were bloodshot as he took out a note.
He had known that the final day would not be this simple!
[Intel Note] [Type: Item] [Contents: Devour, evolve... Only by eating more can one grow stronger... Beware of zombies that consume their own kind!] [Description: This thing has no level and cannot be dismantled or upgraded. Just take a look.]
Over the past few days, everyone had found more or less some Intel Notes.
The more they understood, the less afraid the Players were of this round of the game.
But as soon as this note was revealed, everyone immediately descended into chaos and panic.
[9 Sun Heng: Fuck, Wang Yang, didn't we agree to share all Intel Notes?] [88 Cao Bin: They're evolving! What do we do?] [5 Zhu Yan: Level 1 zombies are already the limit of what we can handle!]
A single Level 1 zombie could beat Wu Huihui half to death!
If a Level 2 zombie appeared, no dormitory would be able to withstand it!
This had already surpassed the limit of what an ordinary human could deal with!
Unless you were a combat genius who could slide-kick a tiger!
—They had to be stopped!
At that moment, those six words became everyone's greatest concern.
The situation was urgent. They truly could not delay any longer!
The advantage of having leaders among the flock became apparent.
After discussing it, Wang Yang, Wang Ao, and Wu Huihui decided to take the initiative.
They did not necessarily have to directly kill the zombies that were evolving, but they at least had to lure away and kill some zombies to reduce the pressure of defending their doors later.
A day ago, someone surely would have said they should wait until daylight, since the zombies might disperse on their own.
However, after being tempered by the past few days, those who had survived had undergone a transformation. They would no longer say something so foolish.
The game's brutality had been displayed in full on the first day. There was absolutely no way such good fortune would be waiting for them.
This was not a game at all. It was Purgatory!!
In Dormitory 200, Xu Lang was drinking tea.
Although he had not lacked food these past few days, he had not been in his best condition either.
This was the game's final day. He wanted to lift his spirits.
"Xu Lang, aren't you worried?" Tong Qi asked curiously.
"Worrying won't help." Xu Lang shook his head.
After suffering nightmares for more than ten years, there were very few things left that could frighten him.
"Hehe, Tong Qi, you haven't seen our door, have you!" Cao Yaxuan walked over to the steel door, her face full of pride.
"It does look pretty sturdy." Tong Qi scratched her head.
Even knowing the enemies could not get in, she would still be scared, right?
These past few days, she had been hiding in the dormitory, living in constant fear.
"It's the final day. Let's take a bath together," Xu Lang suggested.
The two women exchanged glances. Tong Qi blushed and remained silent.
Cao Yaxuan nodded decisively. "Fine. It's the final day, so let's indulge ourselves!"
The room was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items, including shampoo, body wash... and a large red basin commonly seen in the seventies and eighties.
There was also a drain in the corner, so they did not have to worry about flooding the place.
The main concern was people drinking it. Otherwise, bathwater could actually be used for trading.
