You don't want to be reserve food, do you?

Cao Yaxuan regretted it so much her guts turned green. She wished she could slap herself.

He's not going to get rid of me because I stumbled onto Xu Lang's secret, is he?

Why did I have to run my mouth like that?

Just as one side sat on pins and needles while the other remained utterly composed, a tremendous crash suddenly came from the iron door.

"Fuck your mother!" Zhou Tao's furious curse rang out right after.

That guy had actually squatted outside for over half an hour!

Huang Hao said anxiously, "Brother Tao, let's go. The zombies are coming. Once we find some tools later, we'll definitely smash through his iron door."

Another boy viciously chimed in, "Yeah! We'll make him do a flying-man act then!"

"Just you wait, Xu Lang," Zhou Tao cursed.

He had never suspected that Xu Lang might not be in the dorm. That was just Xu Lang's personality—three sticks couldn't beat a single fart out of him. Bad luck incarnate!

The footsteps faded away.

This time, they had truly left.

But before long, news that Xu Lang had an iron door spread throughout the chatroom.

Xu Lang's neighbors had wanted to talk about it long ago, but Zhou Tao and his group had kept them down.

For a while, countless people called out to Xu Lang, and over thirty had sent him friend requests.

Some brought their own supplies and wanted a tenant slot. Some played the emotional card. Others even wanted to use RMB to buy the position of landlord.

Xu Lang ignored them all. As though unaffected by the outside world, he silently waited for the countdown to end.

[3, 2, 1... Game Start!]

Accompanied by a shrill alarm that rang in everyone's mind, a black mass of zombies charged out of the bloody fog.

Those so-called defensive fortifications were instantly smashed to pieces!

The campus elites standing at the front with weapons in hand turned and ran for the rear.

Even as they fled, they did not forget to shove others aside and swing their clubs wildly.

Three swings a second was definitely not their limit!

Countless people fell to the ground.

The students standing in the dormitory corridors cried out in alarm, and those cries soon turned into hysterical screams.

"Fuck! Why didn't anyone say the hallways were zombie spawn points too?!"

Zombies also poured out from the stairwells on all ten floors.

In an instant, the entire dormitory building erupted into chaos!

[Zombie]

[Type: Monster]

[Level: 0]

[Skill: Unknown]

[Description: A pitiful bioengineered creature. Guess whether it carries a virus.]

Xu Lang had been watching through the peephole behind the door the entire time, and he did not feel particularly afraid. After all, he had seen even more horrifying scenes in his dreams.

Once, a butcher had spent an entire night hacking away in his dream, piling up a mound of a thousand heads. Mangled corpses lay everywhere, as if it were hell on earth.

After he stepped away, Cao Yaxuan leaned up to the peephole to look outside. Her face gradually turned deathly pale.

A student was being devoured right before her eyes, his screams shrill and miserable.

Just as she trembled, not knowing what to do, a voice behind her asked, "Senior Cao, do you have a boyfriend?"

Cao Yaxuan froze and turned back to look at Xu Lang in disbelief.

At a time like this, you want to make small talk with me?

Xu Lang stared into Cao Yaxuan's eyes and said unhurriedly, "You saw it too. Those zombies aren't like the ones in movies. They're agile."

"Do you remember the initial prompt? The game's difficulty will gradually increase... Do you think this iron door of ours has a high chance of keeping the zombies out?"

In an instant, Cao Yaxuan's face turned utterly pale, and she nearly fainted.

By Xu Lang's reasoning, didn't that mean the two of them were doomed?

"Then what do we do?" she asked instinctively.

The initiative had been handed to this unremarkable junior.

No, from the moment Cao Yaxuan entered the room, the initiative had already been in Xu Lang's hands!

Xu Lang's lips curled. "Since we're both going to die anyway, we might as well have some fun before we do."

His words were incredibly crude.

Yet the clever Cao Yaxuan did not dare show any displeasure. She gave an awkward laugh and said, "That wouldn't be appropriate, would it? You've probably seen apocalypse movies too. In a situation like this, conserving energy is important."

A virgin who had never even had a girlfriend!

At a time like this, he was still thinking about that!

"That makes sense. Looks like you believe in extreme survivalism, Senior." Xu Lang did not argue. Instead, he broke into a wide smile.

"Hehe, survival is life's foremost principle, after all." Cao Yaxuan kept up her awkward smile.

Miserable screams rang out from outside.

The atmosphere in the dorm room was bizarre.

And it was becoming increasingly bizarre!

Cao Yaxuan noticed that Xu Lang had suddenly fallen silent. He simply sat on the bed, studying her with deep, shadowy eyes.

"What is it?" Cao Yaxuan shrank back slightly.

Xu Lang continued in that unhurried tone:

"An adult woman's body fat percentage is usually between 20% and 25%. Senior, you look like you work out, so yours should be around 18%..."

"Fat isn't actually the most important thing. The most important thing is your water content."

"Sorry, I misspoke. I should say your blood content."

"You know too—when it comes to surviving, food isn't the most important thing. Water is!"

Cao Yaxuan froze. Then she caught his meaning and nearly produced a little water source for Xu Lang on the spot.

Please, stop talking!

So you dragged me in here because you really had your eye on me as a person!!

"Junior, don't scare your senior like that, okay? You're really terrifying right now!" Cao Yaxuan forced herself to remain calm.

To her, Xu Lang was the sort of low-grade male college student who would "put an arm around his buddy's neck" and "make a shooting motion" whenever he saw her.

How could she possibly be willing to give him that!

Xu Lang stroked his chin and pondered.

"Since you brought up movies, then behavior like this is normal, isn't it?"

"Maybe the game assigned two-person dorm rooms precisely with this in mind."

"In an apocalypse, how can anyone survive without some stored provisions? Don't you think so, Senior Cao?"

Cao Yaxuan believed him!

Xu Lang really was capable of doing something like that.

Because as he spoke, even his tone did not change. He was calm to the point of coldness.

If this wasn't perversion, then what was!?

"Senior, don't worry. I'm not some devil. What men find hardest to forget is their first love. Would you be willing to be my one and only first love?" At this point, Xu Lang's expression suddenly changed, and he sighed. "Actually, I have my reasons for wanting to date you."

Cao Yaxuan hurriedly asked, "What reasons!?"

Being horny could count as a reason now?!

Xu Lang said gloomily:

"In my heart, there is both Buddha and devil."

"Don't be fooled by how pure and innocent I usually seem. That's only because I've kept the devil deeply sealed away."

"Now that this survival game has descended and gravely threatened my life, the devil in my heart is about to break free from its seal!"

"I want to ask you—when you face a true devil entering this world... can you still hold it down... can this entire dorm building still hold it down?!"

"So, I must use sweet love to suppress the devil in my heart once more!"

Cao Yaxuan's mouth twitched wildly.

Could you stop making memes at a time like this?!

Can't you hear the screams outside?!

Your classmates are about to get sucked dry into cadaver specimens!

"Junior, can you give your senior a little more time? This is just too sudden." Cao Yaxuan's tone was almost pleading; she was just short of dropping to her knees.

"Fine." Xu Lang nodded in agreement.

Cao Yaxuan let out a breath of relief.

This junior was still reasonable, after all.

Xu Lang continued, "Then could you leave my dorm room first? Looking at you annoys me."

Cao Yaxuan: "..."

I didn't even ask you for a tenant slot, and you still want to kick me out? Are you the devil?

"How about... I lend you my black stockings..." Cao Yaxuan truly had no other choice. The moment the words left her mouth, shame flooded over her.

Xu Lang glanced over. The sheer stockings gave off a faint white glow and looked quite high-end. Maybe they even smelled nice?

After pondering for a moment, he said, "How about you leave for three minutes first? Come back after three minutes."

Cao Yaxuan: "..."

The dormitory was sealed on all sides. The hanging lamp flickered erratically, casting an extremely dim light. Though they stood several meters apart, they could only make out each other's silhouettes.

Xu Lang had already risen to his feet. He didn't want to keep dragging this out.

This was a survival game, not a dinner party.

The sooner he got Cao Yaxuan, this Nightmare Coin accelerator, the better!
