[Description: An excellent biochemical product. Simply inject it subcutaneously. One shot and... huh? Why is my head pointy?]

Excitement flashed through Xu Lang's eyes.

It directly increased base stats—this was a god-tier item!

But that description... would his head really become pointy after using it?

He had asked Cao Yaxuan and the others. The item descriptions everyone saw were actually slightly different. Aside from the fixed information, part of it came from the observer's subjective perception.

It should be fine!

Xu Lang thought to himself.

"Xu Lang, you killed that zombie?" Cao Yaxuan swallowed.

Xu Lang had moved too fast—so fast that they had not even seen many details.

Still, it was commendable that neither woman had screamed even in such a sudden situation.

Five days of the survival game had taught every player to keep their mouths shut!

"The real deal." Xu Lang put away the Colt and flashed a smile.

Cao Yaxuan had not seen such a bright smile from Xu Lang in a long time. She could not help but freeze for a moment, then nodded with a blush. "As long as you're happy... You're second on the points ranking now. If you win the game, the rewards will be very good."

The dorm broadcast seemed to have said that the top ten could upgrade their dorms. She was quietly looking forward to it.

"Let's survive first." Xu Lang smiled.

"Xu Lang, what is this?" Tong Qi pointed at the blue serum in Xu Lang's hand.

"It dropped from the cat demon." As Xu Lang spoke, he raised the serum and injected it into his arm.

His arm stung slightly, followed by waves of coolness.

This vial of serum looked extremely precious. If upgraded with Nightmare Coins, it might have very good effects.

But even if Xu Lang had Nightmare Coins from now on, he would only use them to upgrade the Nightmare Bed or the door.

Using them to gamble on the Gene Optimization Serum was not a wise choice.

Once someone else's economy got rolling, there was no way to beat them. Rather than have fun only in the late game, it was better to enjoy yourself all the way through!

A few minutes later, Xu Lang's physique had not changed much, but he could clearly feel his strength increasing. Even his back was straighter.

"Xu Lang, are you going out?" Cao Yaxuan's heart tightened as a powerful intuition suddenly rose within her.

—Xu Lang was leaving!

"Not yet." Xu Lang shook his head, his expression calm as he casually put on Cao Yaxuan's baseball cap.

He was only one step away from reaching the top of the rankings. There was no reason not to fight for it.

Hearing this, Tong Qi pressed her lips together and suppressed the urge to persuade Xu Lang.

At a time like this, a man had already made his decision. She did not want to say anything more.

Besides, she felt that Xu Lang's judgment was better than hers. All she needed to do was support him.

"Xu Lang..." Cao Yaxuan opened her mouth, a trace of pleading in her voice. "Can you not go?"

"No." Xu Lang shook his head.

If he holed up in his room, no one could drag him out. If he wanted to leave, no one could drag him back either.

Everyone had to pay for their own choices, and he was willing to take this risk.

The dangers of the Dormitory Survival Game had exceeded his expectations, making him extremely vigilant.

Playing it safe was like rowing against the current—if you didn't move forward, you fell behind.

If an opportunity landed right in front of him and he still refused to go out, that wasn't playing it safe—that was being a turtle!

Xu Lang bounced lightly in place twice to loosen up, then stood behind the door with his pistol and waited.

A few minutes passed before the opportunity finally came!

The Big Zombie had reached the tenth floor. Screams echoed through the hallway, and players in the chatroom were issuing warnings as well.

At a time like this, the longer the people being chased survived, the longer he would survive too.

Unfortunately, the player being pursued was slapped to death by the Big Zombie as soon as they reached the tenth floor.

Then, the Big Zombie began smashing doors.

The dorm room number was 186—Wu Huihui's room!

"Sister Wu, what do we do?" Wang Tingting was in a complete panic.

"Don't be afraid. Fill it in with iron first." Wu Huihui held iron materials in her hands, ready to patch the door whenever its durability dropped.

With a flash of light, the iron materials in her hand vanished. It was incredibly miraculous.

"Don't just stand there. Hurry and ask the other players to lend us iron materials," Wu Huihui said solemnly.

This was the sound of vocal cords vibrating through fat, yet in this situation, it carried a certain authority.

"Oh, okay!" Wang Tingting froze for a moment before hurriedly calling out in the chatroom.

There were only the two of them in the room now.

Their other roommate had died during the Big Zombie's pursuit. If she hadn't asked Wu Huihui for an immunity potion, she wouldn't have gone along with them this time.

Thanks to the reputation she had built up earlier, people gradually transferred some iron materials to Wang Tingting, but it was little better than nothing.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Big Zombie kept ramming the door, the sound like a death knell.

"Why is it only targeting us?!" Wang Tingting despaired.

They had run out of iron materials. All they could do now was watch the door's durability slowly drop.

Wu Huihui gripped her weapon, no longer daring to stand behind the door. Instead, she moved farther away, sweat beading on her forehead as she stared fixedly at the door.

Bang!

The Big Zombie slammed into it again, cracking the door slightly. Wu Huihui could even see its terrifying figure through the gap.

Wang Tingting shook like a leaf, but she clenched her teeth tightly, intending to slip past the Big Zombie and run out the moment it charged in.

"Sister Hui, we split up and run later."

"Okay!"

The two sisters were both terrified, but they had no choice. The only path before them was to seek life in the face of death.

Bang!

The Big Zombie gathered itself and lunged forward, but halfway through, its body suddenly swayed. The tottering door was not knocked down.

Moreover, that thunderous bang had not been the sound of the door being struck!

Immediately afterward, a barrage of bangs rang out without stopping, leaving the two women in the room utterly baffled.

"What happened?"

The two looked at each other, both completely confused.

Xu Lang stepped forward and bent down to pick up the Big Zombie's drop.

It was an exquisitely designed card, bearing the image of a snarling zombie at its center.

He did not inspect it closely. He swiftly picked it up, then rushed toward the stairwell.

The area below the dormitory building was pitch-black, with only a couple of streetlights flickering now and then.

Other than that, there was no sound, and no one dared to make any.

Xu Lang hurried along and soon reached the entrance of the gymnasium, where he saw the corpse of the crawling monster.

Then, he saw an old acquaintance.

The others had the same idea as Xu Lang.

"Xu Lang?!"

Zhou Tao picked up the crawling monster's drops and narrowed his eyes slightly. After confirming Xu Lang's identity, he was overcome with joy.

"Good, you brat—you actually dared to show yourself!"

"Take me to your room, now!"

"No, hand over the homeowner position immediately!"

As he spoke, he pulled a hockey stick straight from his backpack and viciously swung it at Xu Lang.

Seeing Xu Lang had made him so happy that his words lost all logic. His voice was wild and frenzied, like the low growl of a stray dog.
