After showering, the three changed into new clothes and looked much cleaner and fresher!
Most importantly, black stockings and other comfort-boosting items had to be fully stocked. Otherwise, if the two girls' comfort dropped, Xu Lang would be heartbroken.
After the whole process, Tong Qi's comfort rose to 93, while Cao Yaxuan's rose to 97.
So Cao Yaxuan's appearance-related comfort had actually declined somewhat over the past few days, but her personality compatibility had made up for it.
Though that disdainful, slightly resentful look in her eyes was quite satisfying, they were sleeping in the same bed after all. Xu Lang was worried she might pull something, which was rather unsettling.
And since they were going to live lavishly, they might as well go all the way!
Xu Lang took out another small table and placed instant hotpot, beer, braised chicken legs, and a pile of snacks on it.
After doing all that, Xu Lang froze.
Damn it!
Why was he, the landlord, the one doing all this?
He immediately ordered the two girls to get to work, and the spread was quickly set up.
The self-heating hotpot steamed with heat as the three ate and chatted, while also keeping an eye on the picture livestream in the chatroom.
As they ate, Tong Qi suddenly started crying.
"Tong Qi, what's wrong?" Cao Yaxuan asked in alarm.
"It's so good..." Tong Qi had red chili oil from the hotpot still hanging from the corner of her mouth. She sobbed, "Even if I die now, it'll have been worth it!"
"Whew, you scared me to death. I thought it was something serious." Cao Yaxuan patted her chest. "Pah, pah, pah! Don't talk about dying. The three of us will definitely keep living!"
Maybe four, five, six, seven, or eight...
Xu Lang silently added.
Tong Qi's tears only made Cao Yaxuan feel even more certain that following Xu Lang had been the right choice.
This couch-potato life was just too wonderful.
After all, lying flat at home had been the dream of many people in peaceful times, yet they had somehow achieved it in a survival game!
"They're moving, they're moving, they've gone in!" Some people watched from afar in the corridor.
Whether Wang Yang's group succeeded or failed was directly tied to every player's life or death. Everyone was extremely anxious. Some watched from a distance, while others trailed behind the main group.
All things considered, although Wang Yang's group had only a little over twenty people, every one of them had taken the Virus Immunity Drug and had combat experience.
Don't underestimate those twenty-odd people. Their numbers might not have matched the zombies', but as the saying went—
You could fight a human, but you couldn't arrange a fight with humans, especially not a group brawl!
No species in the world could beat humans when it came to arranging fights.
"I hope Wang Yang's group succeeds. They have to kill those evolved zombies!"
"The number of zombies is about the same. We won last night, so we should be able to do it again now, right?"
"Go, Huihui!"
Everyone was filled with hope and anxiety.
Zhang Dahai hid in a ventilation duct, trembling. He could see Wang Yang's group approaching through the darkness, but he didn't think the players had much chance of winning.
The gymnasium was packed with zombies. Wang Yang's group had voluntarily given up the advantage of defending their territory and chosen to fight outside. They could very well get wiped out in a single wave.
Wang Yang's group knew that too. Fighting on open ground was extremely unfavorable for them, but they truly had no other choice.
Besides, they had no intention of charging straight in and fighting head-on.
"Tap, tap..."
A Giant Strength Zombie heard the unusual sound. Its body twitched as it turned and spotted Wang Yang's group. It immediately let out a roar and charged at them.
A male student stopped banging a dumbbell bar against the ground and looked toward the Giant Strength Zombie, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes.
When the Giant Strength Zombie rushed over, the group immediately scattered, then attacked it with clubs, knives, and forks.
In the blink of an eye, the Giant Strength Zombie collapsed dead on the ground.
A flash of white light appeared, and a dropped item materialized beside the Giant Strength Zombie.
"That's it. Keep up this rhythm!" Wang Ao said, taking a deep breath and suppressing his excitement.
Once humans fought in groups, their combat power was simply terrifying.
"Who killed the Giant Strength Zombie just now?" Wang Yang turned and asked.
"Me. I got 10 points." A round-headed male student raised his hand.
Wang Yang nodded. "Pick up the item."
Cao Bin's face lit up as he bent down to collect the drop.
The player who landed the final blow had thirty seconds to pick it up. After that, anyone else could claim it.
"This isn't yours alone. Don't put it in your backpack," Zhou Tao said unhappily.
"No, put it in the backpack. It's inconvenient to carry." Wang Yang quickly said, "But take out the immunity drugs and recruit the brothers behind us..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the people trailing far behind them.
Everyone understood and nodded.
Without wasting time, the group posted a recruitment message in the chatroom, then continued onward.
The bait-and-kill battle lasted over ten minutes, and everyone's backpacks were stuffed full.
This method was just too satisfying.
If they had possessed this kind of team combat ability from the start, what kind of situation would they be in now?
Thinking of that, Wang Yang sighed inwardly. He thought again of how he had concealed information and felt somewhat ashamed, but then his expression turned cold again.
In this game, softhearted people deserved to die!
Several zombies ahead roared as they charged over. Wang Yang pushed aside his thoughts and began fighting seriously.
[84 Li Wang: Go!] [186 Wang Tingting: There's hope, there's really hope! These zombies are like idiots, they only focus on the gymnasium!] [32 Ye Fan: But doesn't that make it even scarier? It really feels like a huge boss is about to appear!] [165 Wang Teng: @Ye Fan, didn't you follow them? How do you still have time to chat?] [32 Ye Fan: I can't change the overall situation anyway. Picking up some trash might even improve my chances of survival.] [84 Li Wang: 6]
Picking through some trash was indeed better than staying at home and worrying helplessly.
The players showed all kinds of reactions. Aside from scavengers like Ye Fan, most people were waiting, while some called for everyone to go kill zombies together.
Today was the last day. As long as they made it through, everything would be fine.
In Dormitory 200, Xu Lang stuffed a piece of tripe into his mouth and let out a soft, satisfied burp.
Right now, aside from being a tiny bit worried about the situation outside, he was also worried about another issue.
If he ate this much, would he be unable to sleep when dawn came?
Thinking of that, Xu Lang looked toward the two girls happily eating, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
When the time came, he could only use the Pal Sleep Method!
"Xu Lang, ah~" Cao Yaxuan picked up a clump of enoki mushrooms with her chopsticks and offered them to Xu Lang, smiling brightly.
"Lang Ge, are you full? Do you want to rinse your mouth?" Tong Qi brushed back the short hair by her ear and looked at Xu Lang gently.
After Xu Lang nodded in agreement, she went to prepare toothpaste and a toothbrush for him.
There were so many daily necessities in the room that they could practically open a convenience store.
