[Type: Medicine]

[Level: 3]

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name. Taiwan Novel Network has a vast library and an incredibly complete collection.]

[Effect: Randomly grants one superpower upon 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 leave it there to gather dust?" Cao Yaxuan chimed in.

What Tong Qi had actually wanted to ask was whether Xu Lang planned to use it after upgrading it or use it now.

Although Tong Qi had arrived late, she had still pieced together the general direction of Xu Lang's abilities from the clues.

She had truly come from behind, her intelligence faintly surpassing Cao Yaxuan, the goddess, by a sliver. The girl was simply quiet and did not like showing 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 had no superpower, he would be at too much of a disadvantage.

It's fine... Once I have Nightmare Coins, the first thing I'll upgrade will be the Nightmare Bed anyway. I won't be using them on the Superpower Serum.

In such a dangerous environment, the sooner potential was realized, the better.

After silently reinforcing his guiding principle that early pleasure meant pleasure all the way through, Xu Lang used the Superpower Serum.

[Skill (Superpower): Super Intuition]

[Effect: Enhances the Sixth Sense and strengthens perception of living beings' malice, goodwill, and emotions.]

This was the new superpower Xu Lang had obtained.

How should he put it? Although this superpower could not directly increase combat power, its practical value was extremely high. It suited both lone wolves and leaders.

It also matched Xu Lang's preferences fairly well.

With this superpower, at least he no longer had to worry about enemies sending in spies to sabotage his room from within. It also reduced the chance of being ambushed.

Just then, Xu Lang received a trade notification.

[Your listed Order No. 3 has been completed.]

Xu Lang had almost 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 the other party 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: Is she your 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 not used the vial of medicine herself, but had given it to her girlfriend instead!

Xu Lang rubbed his chin. If he remembered correctly, Dormitory 181 still had a wooden door.

He immediately started 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 both on the tenth floor. If you upgrade your door, you can hold out longer.]

That was absolutely true. An increase in the defensive capabilities of players on the same floor was far more beneficial than an increase for players on other floors.

"If I upgrade this Virus Immunity Drug to Level 3, there's a good chance it'll become another Superpower Serum!"

Xu Lang muttered to himself and put 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 it did not stop him from hoping the worst for the other two.

Next, he added all four attribute points to constitution, leaving two free attribute points unused.

After all, his main combat power lay in his handgun. There was no need to dump everything into constitution.

After testing himself, he discovered that his strength was at least double what it had been before. His heartbeat was steady, his breathing powerful, and even his eyesight had improved.

"It'll be dawn soon. Do you want to head outside?" Xu Lang asked.

It would be good to bring the two women out and make a show of strength.

"Yes!"

The two women answered in unison.

Xu Lang nodded and had each of them pick a weapon.

Cao Yaxuan picked a baseball bat with strong killing power, while Tong Qi chose a hockey stick with a longer attack range.

Before leaving, Xu Lang gave the two women a few more instructions.

Only after seeing them both obediently agree did he lead them outside.

The moment Xu Lang stepped out of his Room Door, someone called his name.

"Xu Lang!"

The one who stopped Xu Lang was a thin young man.

"What is it?" Xu Lang turned to look at him expressionlessly.

"Um... hello!" The young man gave an awkward smile.

Xu Lang turned and walked toward the stairwell.

The young man pressed his lips together as he watched the graceful backs of Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi, his heart filled with envy.

Two gorgeous women. What kind of heavenly life was this?

He still had to suck up to Wu Huihui to survive, 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, he was a classmate before. I didn't expect him to turn out like this," Tong Qi said with a sigh.

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 far too cruel."

"Hey, do you think more newcomers will come in?" Tong Qi suddenly asked.

Unexpectedly, her question really did receive an affirmative answer.

"Most likely." Xu Lang nodded. Before the two women could ask further, 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 receiving just one batch of people."

"Gasp! Why do you make us sound like ants?" Cao Yaxuan was startled.

Xu Lang smiled. "Though we don't want to admit it, that's the truth. Besides, didn't the Dormitory Broadcast say that new residents would arrive?"

"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 found the stairwell a little dark, so he turned on the flashlight he had prepared beforehand.

A bloody sight appeared nakedly before their eyes.

A player had probably been caught by a Big Zombie. His entire body had been smashed into a paste of flesh, sprawled at the stairwell entrance.

Tong Qi's slightly chubby cheeks twitched, and she nearly threw up.

Cao Yaxuan covered her mouth with her delicate hand, suddenly feeling as though even the air had become foul.

"Quick, let's go!" Cao Yaxuan hurriedly walked around it.

Tong Qi grabbed Xu Lang's sleeve, and the three continued downstairs together.

Xu Lang's eyes flickered as he silently gave them 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 nauseated, but they were not afraid.

Tong Qi was not only unafraid—when she passed by, she even turned back for another look, wanting to know who had died.

This had once been one of her kind.

Yet all she saw was a blood-smeared head, its original features impossible to make out.

Tong Qi pressed her lips together and silently followed Xu Lang downstairs.

Not long after, the three reached the first floor and came to 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 above.

Wang Ao had gathered seven or eight people around him, all of them looking vicious and menacing.

Wu Huihui also had a group around her, and there were even more of them—around fifteen people.

As for everyone else, they either had not arrived yet or were staying in their own positions.

Everyone was very interested in the airdrop mentioned in the broadcast.

"That's a lot of people," Cao Yaxuan whispered in surprise.

They had seen quite a few dead people over the past few days, but not many living ones.

"Yeah," Tong Qi agreed.

Xu Lang gripped the Colt in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the area.

He did not spot Zhang Dahai.

No one knew where this number two had gone or what superpower he had awakened.

Xu Lang was always concerned about uncertain factors like that.

"Tingting and Zhao Chen, go check 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 quite enough.

She could have simply sent them a message.

Wang Tingting nodded and left with Zhao Chen.

Wang Ao, meanwhile, did not let his lackeys leave.

Those gathered around him were all elites who dared to fight and risk their lives. Several of them were ranked in the top ten and had two free attribute points, giving them exceptional combat power. They would be useful when fighting for the airdrop later!

"Hahaha, looks like everyone is very interested in the airdrop coming up!" Wang Ao suddenly laughed loudly, looking around at everyone present before finally letting his gaze fall on Xu Lang. "How about we set the tone first, so we don't start fighting and killing each other later?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, as though swords had been drawn.
