Bang—
Zhou Tao had not even gotten close before Xu Lang opened fire.
Clean and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
When he had nightmares and faced pursuit from those Butchers, he had always liked turning the tables when they were feeling smug. He did not want the same thing happening to him.
If someone needed killing, then kill them. Even if there really were lingering grudges, he could just farm some Nightmare Coins from Cao Yaxuan and the others, and they would disappear!
Based on the information he knew, all the zombies had already been killed.
Xu Lang had no other urgent tasks for the moment. He crouched down, raised his head, and observed his surroundings while looting.
It would have been nice if Tong Qi and the others were here. They could cover a position so there would not be a second gun.
The thought flashed through Xu Lang's mind, and he suddenly froze.
Wouldn't that just mean using Tong Qi and the others as human shields?
Hiss... he seemed a little shameless.
His backpack slots were already full. After picking up the items dropped from Zhou Tao's backpack, Xu Lang continued searching the rest of his belongings.
Come to think of it, Players were sometimes quite similar to monsters.
After they were killed, everything in their backpacks dropped, and the killer also had a thirty-second head start.
Xu Lang suddenly paused, looked to his left, and raised his pistol.
"Don't shoot, it's me, Huang Hao!" The figure hurriedly stepped out from behind cover with both hands raised.
"Oh, it's you. I thought you were a zombie." Xu Lang smiled.
As Huang Hao approached, his features became clearer. He swallowed and said to Xu Lang, "Xu Lang, I just heard gunfire. Did you kill Zhou Tao?"
Xu Lang glanced at the bloody hole in Zhou Tao's head and smiled. "Yeah. He tried to ambush me, so I killed him instead."
"Good kill! I could tell long ago that he wasn't a good person!" Huang Hao chuckled. "I'm Zhou Tao's roommate. Lang Ge, could you give me the key to Dormitory 24?"
"No." Xu Lang shook his head and prepared to continue looting Zhou Tao.
However, as he bent down, his pistol fell to the ground!
The ingratiating smile vanished from Huang Hao's face. In two quick strides, he charged to within two meters of Xu Lang.
Thud!
Xu Lang twisted around. A baseball bat abruptly appeared in his hand and swung into Huang Hao's forehead.
Huang Hao went down cleanly, his skull caved in.
"Anyone who kicks down my door has to die."
Xu Lang was pleased to have saved a bullet.
He continued looting.
Zhou Tao did not have many good items on him, just a few cans and a hockey stick.
Huang Hao was even poorer. The three items in his backpack were all food, while all he had on him was a small dagger.
Xu Lang strapped the hockey stick to his back, adjusted his baseball cap, and continued toward the Gymnasium.
No one had ever said that resource points would not refresh items at night!
It was just that no one had come here at night before.
Xu Lang entered the Gymnasium and searched around. Sure enough, he found something.
[Three of Clubs] [Type: Playing Card] [Level: Unknown] [Description: Cannot be dismantled... no idea what it's useful for]
Xu Lang slipped the card into the inner pocket of his clothes.
Anyone who had played games knew that unknown items were worth collecting. Besides, it had no upgrade requirements. It practically had "something fishy is going on" written across its forehead.
After searching the Gymnasium, Xu Lang headed straight for the nearest medical room.
Along the way, he frequently opened and closed the chatroom, gathering information on the other Players' movements.
News of the Big Zombie's death had already spread, and everyone knew from the leaderboard that Xu Lang had killed it.
Now the entire public chat was flooded with @ tags for Xu Lang.
Xu Lang remained unmoved. He kept his gun in hand and ran at a steady pace.
Those Players had not even reacted yet. There were free supplies scattered all over the ground, and it would be a waste not to pick them up.
Soon, Xu Lang arrived at the medical room and encountered a "prominent figure" there.
When Zhang Dahai saw Xu Lang, he swallowed and instinctively hid a medical kit behind his back.
Seeing Zhang Dahai there, Xu Lang's eyes flickered, and he immediately headed for the next resource point.
Zhang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the medical room as well.
Before long, this place would become a hotspot for trouble.
Next, Xu Lang went to the equipment room and cafeteria, where he found a Level 2 item in each place.
[Instant Sirloin Steak] [Type: Food] [Level: 2] [Satiety: 100] [Effect: Quickly restores energy] [Upgrade Requirement: 40 Nightmare Coins] [Description: I am a delicious steak]
[Alloy Battle Blade] [Type: Cold Weapon] [Level: 2] [Damage: 30] [Durability: 25/25] [Can be dismantled into: Alloy x10] [Upgrade Requirement: 150 Nightmare Coins] [Description: Although I don't have any special effects, just look at my durability. You should know I'm very durable, right?]
A baseball bat only had 14 durability, while the Alloy Battle Blade had 25. It really was durable.
As Xu Lang passed the equipment room entrance, he saw a zombie with both legs broken that was still alive. He casually drew the battle blade, placed it against its neck, and pressed down.
The zombie's head immediately fell off!
"So sharp!" Xu Lang nodded in slight satisfaction.
Just then, the Dormitory Broadcast began.
[Dormitory Broadcast: All monsters have been eliminated. This round of the game has ended early!] [Congratulations to everyone for surviving the first Dormitory Survival Game!] [The second round of the game will begin in 7 days and 14 hours!] [In three minutes, leaderboard rewards will be distributed one by one!] [Leaderboard—] [Xu Lang: 201] [Zhang Dahai: 100] [Wang Ao: 98] [...] [This Dormitory Building is a Primitive Building. Thanks to everyone's brave efforts, it has been unsealed. The Dormitory Building has received the title—Mad King!] [You are all Players of Mad King Season One!] [To celebrate the unsealing of the Dormitory Building, when the first ray of sunlight shines into the Dormitory Building, a super gift pack will be dropped beneath it. Stay tuned!] [The shop and Blood Mist Exploration Mode will also open then. Stay tuned!]
The Dormitory Broadcast sounded faintly impassioned, as though unsealing the building was an incredibly remarkable event.
Xu Lang was greatly intrigued by this unsealing, but getting back to his dormitory was what mattered now.
With a pile of items stuffed on him, plus the top-ranked gift pack he would receive once he got back, it felt like holding ten Harvest Abundance cards in his hand. If he did not draw one, his whole body would feel itchy.
