As Wang Ao finished speaking, a domineering, overbearing aura spread from him. He actually had a bit of a warlord's presence.
Some people felt a chill of fear and instinctively took a step back.
Meanwhile, all of Wang Ao's lackeys lifted their chins, their fighting spirit soaring.
After all, Wang Ao was a ruthless man who had killed someone on the very first day.
That was why others feared him, and why they followed him!
Humans were far too complex to be easily defined as good or bad.
At the very least, in these lackeys' eyes, as long as Wang Ao could keep them alive, he was a good person!
"Heh!" Xu Lang sneered. With a click, he ejected the magazine, revealing the gleaming bullets inside before loading it back in. Looking at Wang Ao, he said, "I still have seven bullets."
As he spoke, he walked straight forward two steps.
Wang Ao instinctively backed away, then snapped in anger, "Xu Lang, what do you mean? You want to go against me?"
"Everyone's laid their cards on the table. What else is there to say?" Xu Lang spread his hands. "I have fewer people here. Rather than let you take the airdrop amid the chaos, I might as well take you all out first!"
Everyone sucked in a sharp breath upon hearing that.
Wang Ao's lackeys unconsciously spread out a little as well.
Damn, Wang Ao was ruthless, but Xu Lang was even more ruthless!
"I heard Zhou Tao was shot dead by Xu Lang. That can't be true, can it?"
"It's very possible. I heard gunshots over by the gymnasium at the time."
"This guy just kills people to snatch supplies. And he's even wasting bullets—his killing intent is way too strong!"
The people around them murmured among themselves, all staring nervously at Xu Lang, afraid he might suddenly lose it and shoot them.
In an environment like this, people could do anything—even jump off a building...
"Xu Lang, do you know what kind of ability I awakened?" Wang Ao shouted harshly.
He was furious. He had known that one day he would become enemies with Xu Lang, but he hadn't expected that day to come so soon.
"Can you withstand bullets?"
"Don't push people too far!"
"Can you withstand bullets?"
"I have eight people here!"
"Can they withstand bullets?"
"..."
Wang Ao's face turned green, and he involuntarily retreated into the crowd.
Because as Xu Lang spoke, he kept moving closer step by step. His arm appeared to hang loosely at his side, but his finger remained on the trigger the entire time.
"I'll give you thirty seconds. If you don't leave, I'll start killing indiscriminately," Xu Lang sneered.
"Xu Lang, don't go too far!" At last, one of the boys on Wu Huihui's side could no longer endure it.
"Too far?" Xu Lang swept a cold gaze over him. "If I hadn't dealt with those two special zombies, all of you would be dead. And you say I'm going too far?"
What fucking era was this already?!
He had no mood to waste time babbling about schemes and plots.
This wasn't some peaceful society. It was a blood-red battlefield even darker than a dark forest!
If he hadn't been worried that the dorm building's overall strength would become too weak, Xu Lang would have shot Wang Ao in the head already!
The boy's lips trembled furiously with rage. When he saw Xu Lang looking over, he hurriedly hid behind the others.
"You want to keep everything for yourself? Be careful you don't choke to death!" Wang Ao roared.
An airdrop sounded like it would contain good stuff. Unless he had no other choice, he would never give up his share.
"That's still better than starving to death," Xu Lang shot back coldly.
Wang Ao argued forcefully, trying to rally the crowd behind him. "You're being far too selfish! The airdrop belongs to everyone!"
"You have no right to stand on moral high ground and condemn me." Xu Lang barked, "If it weren't for the fact that you still have some use, I'd kill you right now!"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly and his temples throbbed. He looked somewhat ferocious, leaving no one with any doubt that he meant every word.
Everyone could see it. Compared to Wang Ao, Xu Lang was the truly dangerous one!
"Xu Lang, I have a better idea." Wang Ao suddenly stepped out, puffing out his chest as he said, "How about we fight one-on-one? You won't need to take it by force. If you win, we can acknowledge you as our boss."
Bang!
A gunshot rang out!
Xu Lang suddenly fired to the left. A young man in black, who had somehow sneaked over there, instantly fell to the ground.
A headshot!
In an instant, everyone present turned pale with shock.
Wang Ao provoked you, so why the hell did you kill a bystander?!
Was Xu Lang really a lunatic?
"That seemed to be one of Wang Ao's people," a gawking bystander cried out.
"Trying that trick on me?" Xu Lang looked at Wang Ao with a mocking smile.
He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was astonished.
This Super Intuition was damn useful!
Although that young man had been outside his field of vision, he had been radiating deep hostility the entire time and had gradually been drawing closer.
He had just been worrying about finding someone to make an example of, and one had delivered himself right to his door!
In a survival game, being a madman was better than being a coward!
He had not expected the man to be Wang Ao's subordinate, which only made things even better.
Xu Lang simply stared down the grim-faced Wang Ao, his cold eyes filled with fierce aggression. His chin was slightly raised, and a faint smile hung at the corner of his lips.
It was a common expression of provocation in the animal kingdom.
If Wang Ao truly dared to charge at him, Xu Lang would not mind firing two more bullets. At worst, he would need to sleep twice to level up a pistol, and his bullets would be replenished afterward anyway.
"Wang Ao, just give the things to Xu Lang. He was the greatest contributor to our survival this time." Just as the tension between the two grew increasingly explosive, Wu Huihui spoke up.
Wang Ao stared at Wu Huihui in disbelief. "Wu Huihui, are you out of your mind?! You're not going to fight for it?"
"I just don't think there's any need for casualties." Wu Huihui shook her head, then said to the others, "Let's go. We should take this opportunity to find more supplies."
With that, she actually led a group of people away.
"Sis Hui, we're just leaving like this? Even if we can't take it all, we could at least get a share!" one boy said anxiously, inwardly furious.
Wu Huihui was far too lacking in ambition!
Why had the Three Kingdoms era produced strategists by the dozen and fierce generals in droves? Because in chaotic times, if you didn't step forward, you died!
Trying to play the humble card in the Dormitory Survival Game was no different from asking for trouble!
"Do you think Xu Lang looks like the type to give up supplies?" Wu Huihui said. She pretended to glance around before adding, "Xu Lang is from the tenth floor. If he grows stronger, all of our safety will improve as well!"
After thinking it over, everyone felt that made sense.
Those who had thought Wu Huihui was being too weak also calmed down.
In truth, Wu Huihui had more than one reason for leaving.
While Xu Lang and Wang Ao had been confronting each other, Xu Lang had sent Wu Huihui a message telling her to stay out of it. In return, he would give her one bullet in the future. If she directly helped him, he would give her three bullets.
One bullet meant one chance to make a move!
Wu Huihui was greatly tempted. After weighing the pros and cons, she agreed, without telling the others about the deal.
After everything she had experienced, Wu Huihui had become a little smarter too.
As for why she did not wait longer and help once Xu Lang and Wang Ao started fighting...
Uh... mainly because she felt that as long as she did not take the initiative to attack Xu Lang, Wang Ao would not fight Xu Lang.
Because Wang Ao had also been privately messaging her at the time, telling her to fight, fight, fight, kill, kill, kill—then split the spoils after killing Xu Lang.
Although that suggestion was tempting too, Wang Ao simply did not seem as reliable as Xu Lang. His words sounded heavily padded.
