[Superpower Serum]
[Type: Medicine]
[Level: 3]
[Effect: Randomly gain a superpower after injection]
[Upgrade Requirement: 370 Nightmare Coins]
[Introduction: Hurry, hurry, hurry! Do you want time stop or hypnosis? I've got it all here!]
"I want time stop," Xu Lang said quietly.
Tong Qi blinked her big eyes and asked, "Lang Ge, are you going to use it now?"
"Of course. Otherwise, are you going to let it sit there gathering dust?" Cao Yaxuan chimed in.
What Tong Qi had actually wanted to ask was whether Xu Lang planned to upgrade it before using it, or use it right away.
Although Tong Qi had arrived late, she had still pieced together the general nature of Xu Lang's ability from scattered clues.
She had truly caught up from behind, her intelligence faintly surpassing that of Cao Yaxuan, the goddess, by a little. It was just that the girl was quiet and not one to show off.
"I'd better use it now." Xu Lang sighed.
You couldn't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.
Zhang Dahai and Wang Ao had no ability to upgrade items, so they would definitely use theirs on the spot. Wang Ao also had a group of lackeys around him. If Xu Lang didn't have a superpower, he would be at too much of a disadvantage.
It was fine... Once I get Nightmare Coins, the first thing I'll upgrade will be the Nightmare Bed anyway. I won't need to use them on the Superpower Serum.
In such a dangerous environment, the sooner potential was turned into actual strength, the better.
After silently reaffirming his basic early-game principle that a smooth start meant a smooth ride all the way, Xu Lang used the Superpower Serum.
[Skill (Superpower): Super Intuition]
[Effect: Enhanced Sixth Sense, strengthening perception of living beings' malice, goodwill, and emotions]
This was Xu Lang's newly acquired superpower.
How should he put it? Although this ability could not directly increase combat strength, it was extremely practical. It suited both lone wolves and leaders.
It also happened to suit Xu Lang's preferences.
With this ability, at least he would no longer need to worry about enemies sending in a spy to sabotage his room from within. It also reduced the chances of him being ambushed.
Just then, Xu Lang received a trade notification.
[Your listed Order No. 3 has been completed]
Xu Lang had nearly forgotten what Order No. 3 was. When he opened it, he discovered it was the order where he had exchanged water resources for a Virus Immunity Drug.
The trader was Li Yu.
Since she was a girl, Xu Lang had added her as a friend before. He immediately asked her about it.
[200 Xu Lang: Where did you get the Virus Immunity Drug?]
Xu Lang was genuinely curious.
[181 Li Yu: Zhiwei gave it to me]
[200 Xu Lang: You're his girlfriend? Weren't you on the eighth floor?]
[181 Li Yu: Yeah, I moved up here to stay with Huihui]
At a time like that, Wang Zhiwei had actually not used the dose himself and had given it to his girlfriend instead!
Xu Lang rubbed his chin. If he remembered correctly, Dormitory 181 still had a wooden door.
He immediately initiated a trade with Li Yu and sent her an iron door blueprint.
Shi Hang had confiscated it from someone.
[181 Li Yu: Why are you giving this to me?]
[200 Xu Lang: We're all on the tenth floor. If you upgrade your front door, you'll be able to hold out longer]
That was absolutely true. It was far better for Players on the same floor to improve their defenses than for Players on other floors to do so.
"If I upgrade this Virus Immunity Drug to Level 3, there's a high chance it'll become another Superpower Serum!"
Xu Lang muttered to himself, then placed the Virus Immunity Drug into his backpack.
"I hope they don't awaken some freakish abilities."
Xu Lang did not know whether drawing Super Intuition meant he had bad luck, but that did not stop him from wishing ill on the other two.
Next, he put all 4 attribute points into Constitution, leaving 2 free attribute points unused.
After all, his main combat power came from his pistol. There was no need to go all-in on Constitution.
After testing himself, he found that his strength was at least double what it had been before. His heartbeat was steady, his breathing powerful, and even his vision had improved.
"It'll be dawn soon. Do you want to go outside?" Xu Lang asked.
Bringing the two women out would help bolster their presence too.
"Yes!"
The two women answered in unison.
Xu Lang nodded and had each of them choose a weapon.
Cao Yaxuan chose a baseball bat with strong killing power, while Tong Qi chose a hockey stick with greater reach.
Before leaving, Xu Lang gave the two women a few more instructions.
Only after seeing them both obediently agree did he lead them outside.
As soon as Xu Lang stepped out of the room door, someone called his name.
"Xu Lang!"
The one who stopped him was a skinny young man.
"What is it?" Xu Lang turned to look at him expressionlessly.
"Um... hello!" The young man smiled awkwardly.
Xu Lang turned and headed toward the stairwell.
The young man pressed his lips together as he watched Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi's graceful backs, envy filling his heart.
Two stunning beauties. What kind of heavenly life was this?
He still had to suck up to Wu Huihui to get by, while Xu Lang was already surrounded by beauties!
"Lang Ge, that guy just now seemed to be Zhao Chen," Tong Qi said as they went downstairs.
"You know him?" Xu Lang asked casually.
"Yeah, we used to be classmates. I didn't expect him to become like this." Tong Qi sighed.
Zhao Chen had been ordinary before, but he had at least looked like a student.
When she saw Zhao Chen just now, she had thought she was looking at a homeless man.
"It's already good enough that he's alive." Cao Yaxuan sighed softly. "Out of four hundred people, only fifty are left now. This Dormitory Survival Game is just too cruel."
"Hey, do you think more newcomers will come in?" Tong Qi suddenly wondered.
Unexpectedly, her question received an affirmative answer.
"Most likely." Xu Lang nodded. Before the two women could ask, he continued, "Let's assume there's a god who created an amusement park. That amusement park would definitely keep getting new visitors. It wouldn't shut down after one batch of people came through."
"Eek! Why do you make us sound like ants?" Cao Yaxuan was startled.
Xu Lang smiled. "Even if we don't want to admit it, that's the truth. And didn't the Dormitory Broadcast say that new residents would come?"
"That's true." Tong Qi understood.
The sky was dim and bluish, carrying a sense of dead silence that even their conversation could not dispel.
Xu Lang felt that the stairwell was rather dark, so he switched on the flashlight he had prepared earlier.
A patch of bloody red entered their sight without warning.
A Player had probably been caught by a Big Zombie. Their entire body had been smashed into pulp, sprawled at the entrance to the stairwell.
Tong Qi's slightly chubby cheeks twitched, and she barely managed not to vomit.
Cao Yaxuan covered her mouth with a slender hand, suddenly feeling as if the air itself had become foul.
"Hurry, hurry!" Cao Yaxuan quickly walked around it.
Tong Qi grabbed Xu Lang's sleeve, and the three continued downstairs together.
Xu Lang's gaze flickered, and he silently gave them his approval.
He had previously wondered whether the two women could adapt to the outside environment.
Now, it seemed they were doing fairly well.
The two women felt somewhat nauseated, but they were not afraid.
Tong Qi was not only unafraid, but even looked back as they passed, wanting to know who had died.
That person had once been one of her own kind.
In the end, she saw only a bloody, mangled head, unable to make out the person's original features.
Tong Qi pressed her lips together and silently followed Xu Lang downstairs.
Before long, the three reached the first floor and arrived at the open area in front of the dormitory.
Xu Lang surveyed the surroundings and chose a spot against the wall to avoid being ambushed.
Less than ten minutes after Xu Lang and the others came downstairs, people gradually began coming down from upstairs.
Wang Ao had gathered seven or eight people around him, all of them looking fierce and vicious.
Wu Huihui also had a crowd around her, with even more people—around fifteen in total.
As for everyone else, they either had not arrived yet or remained in their own places.
Everyone was very interested in the airdrop mentioned in the broadcast.
"There are so many people," Cao Yaxuan whispered in amazement.
They had seen quite a few dead people these past few days, but not many living ones.
"Yeah," Tong Qi agreed.
Xu Lang gripped the Colt in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the area.
He did not spot Zhang Dahai.
Xu Lang did not know where his number two had gone or what superpower he had awakened.
Xu Lang was always concerned about such uncertain factors.
"Tingting and Zhao Chen, go search those resource points and see if there are any supplies. If there are, gather as much as you can," Wu Huihui whispered into Wang Tingting's ear.
Wu Huihui had some cleverness, but not enough.
She could have simply sent them a message.
Wang Tingting nodded and left with Zhao Chen.
Wang Ao, meanwhile, did not send his lackeys away.
The people gathered around him were all elites who dared to fight and take risks. Several of them were even ranked in the top ten and had two free attribute points. Their combat power was exceptional, and they would be useful when it came time to snatch the airdrop!
"Hahaha, looks like everyone is very interested in the airdrop later!" Wang Ao suddenly laughed loudly. He looked around at everyone present, his gaze finally landing on Xu Lang. "How about we set the tone first, so we don't start killing each other when the time comes?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense, like swords drawn and bows bent!
