After showering, the three changed into fresh clothes and looked much cleaner and more refreshed!
Most importantly, black stockings and various comfort-boosting items had to be fully stocked. Otherwise, if the two women's comfort levels 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 comfort had actually declined somewhat over the past few days, but her personality compatibility had made up for it.
Though those disdainful, slightly resentful glances were rather satisfying, they were sleeping in the same bed after all. He was worried she might pull some stunt, which was somewhat unsettling.
And since they were going to be luxurious, they might as well go all the way!
Xu Lang took out another small table and set out instant hot pot, beer, braised chicken legs, and a whole pile of snacks.
After finishing all that, Xu Lang froze.
Fuck!
Why was he, the landlord, doing all this?
He immediately ordered the two girls to get to work, and the spread was quickly set up.
The self-heating hot pot steamed away as the three ate and chatted, while also keeping an eye on the livestream photos in the chatroom.
As they ate, Tong Qi suddenly began to cry.
"Tong Qi, what's wrong?" Cao Yaxuan asked in alarm.
"It's so good..." Tong Qi had red chili oil from the instant hot pot at the corner of her mouth as she sniffled. "Even if I died right now, it would have been worth it!"
"Phew, you scared me to death. I thought it was something serious." Cao Yaxuan patted her chest. "Pah, pah, don't talk about dying. The three of us will definitely keep living on!"
Maybe four, five, six, seven, or eight...
Xu Lang silently added to himself.
Tong Qi's tears made Cao Yaxuan feel even more certain that following Xu Lang had been the right choice.
This life of being pampered and freeloading was just too wonderful.
After all, lying around at home was the dream of many people even in peaceful times, yet they had somehow achieved it in a survival game!
"They're going! They're going!" Some people watched from afar in the corridor.
Whether Wang Yang and his group succeeded or failed was directly tied to every Player's survival. Everyone was deeply worried. Some watched from a distance, while others trailed behind the main group.
All things considered, though 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.
They could not underestimate a group of twenty-odd people. Though they were outnumbered by the zombies, there was a saying.
You could fight a person, but you could not arrange a fight with humanity—especially not a group brawl!
No species in the world could beat humans when it came to arranged fights.
"I hope Wang Yang and the others succeed. 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 now too, right?"
"Go, Huihui!"
Everyone was full of hope and anxiety.
Zhang Dahai hid in the ventilation duct, trembling. He could see Wang Yang and the others approaching through the darkness, but he was not optimistic about the Players' chances of winning.
The Gymnasium was packed with zombies. Wang Yang and the others had voluntarily given up the advantage of defending their stronghold and chosen to fight outside. They could very well be wiped out by the zombies in one wave.
Wang Yang and the others knew that too. Fighting on open ground put them at a serious disadvantage, but they truly had no other choice.
Besides, they had not planned to charge straight in and fight head-on.
Tap, tap...
A Giant Strength Zombie heard the unusual noise, its body twitching as it turned and spotted Wang Yang's group. It immediately roared and charged at them.
A male student stopped banging a dumbbell bar against the floor and watched the Giant Strength Zombie, a flicker of fear passing through his eyes.
When the Giant Strength Zombie rushed over, the group immediately scattered, then clubs, knives, and forks all came down on it.
In the blink of an eye, the Giant Strength Zombie collapsed to the ground, dead in an instant.
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 as he suppressed his excitement.
Once humans fought in groups, their combat power was simply terrifying.
"Who killed the Giant Strength Zombie just now?" Wang Yang asked, turning around.
"I did. My points went up by 10." A round-faced 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 final killer had thirty seconds to pick it up. After that time passed, anyone else could collect 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 any immunity drugs and recruit the brothers following behind us..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the people trailing far behind them.
Everyone understood and nodded.
The group did not waste any time. After posting a recruitment message in the chatroom, they continued onward.
The lure-and-kill battle went on for over ten minutes, and everyone's backpacks were stuffed full.
This way of playing was just too satisfying.
If they had possessed this kind of team combat ability from the very beginning, what would things have been like?
At that thought, Wang Yang secretly sighed. He thought of how he had concealed information, felt a trace of shame, then quickly turned cold again.
In this game, soft-hearted people deserved to die!
Several zombies ahead roared as they charged toward them. Wang Yang pushed aside his thoughts and began fighting in earnest.
