"Let's go," Xu Lang said.

"Okay." Wu Huihui nodded and headed toward the stairwell.

She had been waiting for Xu Lang to come up so they could talk, but when she turned around, she found him lagging behind at the very back. The corner of her mouth twitched.

"Xu Lang, you don't need to be so cautious. The tenth floor is one big family. We all help each other. We already know about you giving Li Yu the blueprint. You're actually a good person, right?" she said sincerely.

Xu Lang fell silent for a moment, then grinned. "Right. I'm a good person. You guys go ahead. I won't shoot you in the back."

Everyone immediately felt a chill run down the backs of their heads.

Wu Huihui sensed that the atmosphere was off and hurriedly said, "Alright, you walk behind us and keep an eye out!"

As she spoke, she quickened her pace.

The others did the same.

"Fuck, they came down together."

On the way to the supermarket, Wang Ao and his group saw Xu Lang's group hurrying downstairs, and their expressions changed slightly.

They had genuinely considered surrounding Xu Lang on the way.

"Don't stare. Get to the supermarket," Wang Ao said coldly.

The supermarket was not far from the dormitory, less than five hundred meters away.

This supermarket had appeared out of nowhere, as though it had always been there.

The players from the first floor were the first to enter the supermarket, only to discover that someone had arrived even earlier than them.

The young man had a round head and round face, dressed in a trench coat.

It was Zhang Dahai, the one who had once livestreamed pictures for everyone.

"Dahai, how did you get here so fast?" Jin Xin asked in surprise.

"I was wandering around outside and happened to see the supermarket appear, so I came in," Zhang Dahai said with an awkward laugh.

Hearing that, the others paid him no further attention and began looking around the supermarket instead.

There were no attendants in this supermarket, and it was much larger than an ordinary convenience store. The lighting was bright, the facilities were elegant, and it was broadly divided into five sections.

They were the Daily Necessities Section, Entertainment Section, Equipment Section, Skills Section, and Facilities Section.

"Fuck, this is fucking expensive! A Level 1 weapon costs 800 Copper Coins!"

"Isn't this Xu Lang's saber? It costs 6,000 Copper Coins? That's enough to buy my life!"

"A liter of bottled water is only 120 Copper Coins, but Xu Lang charged us 500. What a fucking profiteer!!"

"Sis Ya, hurry up and ask him." Among the main group from the tenth floor, a male student urged a pretty girl beside him.

The girl had long, straight black hair. Even in flats, she stood around 1.7 meters tall. She was beautiful and well-proportioned, with an excellent temperament.

"Is it really okay for me to ask?" Wang Yazhi said, somewhat lacking in confidence.

The boy assured her, "If you ask him, he'll definitely tell you!"

"Yeah, Sis Ya, you're so pretty, and Xu Lang is such a pervert. If you ask him, he'll definitely tell you!"

"Exactly, Sis Ya. That child seems to be an airdrop reward. It might be really powerful!"

The people around them also began chiming in.

"Xu Lang, what's that black child hanging beside your room number?" Wang Yazhi hesitated for a moment before turning back to look at Xu Lang. Her voice carried a quiet, gentle beauty.

At once, everyone held their breath and slowed their steps.

Wu Huihui was no exception.

Perhaps because Wu Huihui had let everyone use the bathroom, the members of the tenth floor were all reasonably clean. Wang Yazhi's flowing hair was especially beautiful, making it seem as though it carried a fragrant scent.

"That's a guardian spirit. It can protect my dormitory from being attacked," Xu Lang replied.

[Name: Wang Yazhi] [Seniority: First Phase] [Room Number: 193 (Tenant)] [Comfort Level: 92 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 92%)]

Wang Yazhi was an Eastern beauty with perfectly balanced features. Though her finer details could not compare to Cao Yaxuan's, and her figure was not as breathtakingly impressive as Tong Qi's, her gentle aura was truly captivating.

At the same time, she had the highest Comfort Level among all the girls on the tenth floor.

Because Wu Huihui had previously taken good care of the girls, nearly all of them had gathered on the tenth floor, resulting in a severely unbalanced gender ratio.

"Oh~" Wang Yazhi smiled, brushed back a strand of hair, and quickly turned around again.

Her heart was pounding, and her face even felt a little hot.

Xu Lang actually replied to her!

College students might not buy into the whole "campus bully" thing anymore, but that depended on who it was.

Everyone knew Brother Guanxi was a scumbag, but at the height of his looks, if he really showed up on campus, he would absolutely drive the girls crazy.

What was more, Xu Lang's current status was far more substantial than Brother Guanxi's. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he held other people's lives and deaths in his hands.

"Xu Lang actually replied to Yazhi!"

Wu Huihui was deeply shaken, while also feeling a little dejected.

If she had been as pretty as Wang Yazhi back then, would Xu Lang have agreed to open the door?

"Sister Yazhi, you've got a chance! Xu Lang really likes you!" said the girl standing closest to Wang Yazhi excitedly.

She was the owner of Room 193 and had the best relationship with Wang Yazhi.

If Wang Yazhi managed to latch onto Xu Lang, she felt like she would get to enjoy the benefits too.

Bestie, can you marry a rich man? An eighty-year-old would be even better; bro, I really can't hold on anymore, can you go find yourself a rich woman?

"What do you mean, likes me?" Wang Yazhi's face was full of bashfulness.

Seeing her like this, the crowd started heckling even more.

A spark of vitality appeared in the deathly stagnant world.

"There are only seven days until the next round of the game." Xu Lang secretly felt a sense of urgency.

Who knew what the next round would be like, but it would most likely be more terrifying than the zombie invasion. Otherwise, it would lose its "game-like" nature.

Besides, the dorm broadcast had also said that other players would be joining.

When that happened, there would be new social conflicts.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang had wanted to give Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan a few reminders, but seeing how excited they were, he decided not to be the wet blanket.

Since the game had set aside seven days for rest, they should rest properly.

It was just that his way of resting differed from everyone else's—he would keep growing stronger without end!

Before long, they arrived at the supermarket.

At the entrance stood signs prohibiting fighting and vandalism.

No one dared test the rules.

This game was far too bizarre.

Xu Lang and the two women entered the supermarket and found spray-painted notices on the walls, such as "Store items refresh weekly" and "Closed during game rounds."

After giving them a brief glance, Xu Lang led the two women straight to the equipment section.

Looking at the weapons of all kinds displayed in the cases, Xu Lang was intensely tempted.

Players could inspect an item's information through the glass display case, then click to pay and purchase it.

Xu Lang stopped in front of a Level 2 bulletproof vest.

To be honest, he was quite worried about someone taking a shot at him from the shadows.

If it was cheap enough, Xu Lang would not mind buying it.

But the problem was that the vest came as part of a set and had to be purchased together with the tactical gear, for a total of 10,800 copper coins!

"Xu Lang, there are bullets here." Cao Yaxuan poked Xu Lang's arm, signaling for him to look to the side.

[No. 6 Bullets] [Type: Consumable] [Level: 1] [Upgrade Requirement: 10 Nightmare Coins] [Description: Compatible with the vast majority of standard handguns] [Price: 20 copper coins]

The Colt Viper used No. 6 bullets!

Xu Lang's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to buy some, waves of startled cries erupted from the facilities section nearby, drawing his attention.

"Brother Wang, isn't this the steel door that kid Xu Lang has? It really is a Level 3 door, but it's nothing special. The highest blueprints here are already for Level 4 doors. They're so expensive!"

"Holy shit, we've struck it rich! Brother Wang, we've struck it rich! Look what I found—the game actually has attack facilities! Now we'll never have to fear zombies again!"

"Hahaha, it's real! Supermarket, I love you! Why didn't you show up sooner?!"

"Hiss—so damn expensive. A Swift Repeating Crossbow costs 2,000 copper coins!"

Xu Lang led the two women over and immediately saw Wang Ao and the others gathered beneath rows of crossbows.

[Swift Repeating Crossbow] [Type: Attack Facility] [Level: 1]

[Damage: 12]

[Attack Speed: Normal]

[Crossbow Bolts: 1/1 (Each crossbow bolt costs 40 Copper Coins)]

[Durability: 30/30]

[Can Be Dismantled For: Wood x6, Crossbow Bolt x1]

[Upgrade Requirement: 100 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: A rapid-fire crossbow that can attack and reload automatically. A great helper for defending against thieves and killing enemies. It can be manually turned off or on inside the dormitory.]

[Price: 2000 Copper Coins]

A yellow sign with a friendly reminder hung beside it.

[Friendly Reminder: Each time the dormitory is upgraded by one level, two attack facilities can be installed. A Level 1 dormitory can accommodate up to two attack facilities.]
