Bang—
Before Zhou Tao could get close, Xu Lang fired.
Clean and swift, without an ounce of hesitation.
When he had nightmares and faced those butchers hunting him down, he always liked to turn the tables while they were overconfident. He sure as hell didn't want to suffer the sa fate himself.
If soone needed killing, kill them. Even if there were lingering grudges, a little Nightmare Coin farming with Cao Yaxuan and the others would wipe them away!
From the intelligence he had, the zombies had already been wiped out.
Xu Lang didn't have any urgent tasks for now. He crouched and, while looting, kept watching the situation.
At a ti like this, he wished Tong Qi and the others were here to cover the position, just in case there was another gun.
He muttered that wish to himself, then suddenly froze.
Wasn't that basically asking Tong Qi and the others to beco human shields?
Yikes—he felt a little shaless.
His backpack inventory was full. After picking up the items that had spilled from Zhou Tao's pack, Xu Lang continued searching Zhou Tao's body for other loot.
Co to think of it, players sotis acted like monsters.
When you killed soone, all the items in their pack would explode out, and the killer got a 30-second first-pick window.
Suddenly, Xu Lang paused, looked to his left, and raised his pistol.
"Don't shoot—it's , Huang Hao!" A figure hurriedly stepped out from cover, hands raised.
"Oh, it's you. I thought you were a zombie," Xu Lang said with a laugh.
As Huang Hao ca closer, his outline beca clear. He swallowed and said to Xu Lang, "Xu Lang, I heard the gunshot just now—did you kill Zhou Tao?"
Xu Lang glanced at the blood hole in Zhou Tao's head and said with a smile, "Yeah. He tried to ambush and got killed instead."
"Good kill. I always suspected he wasn't a good person!" Huang Hao chuckled. "I'm Zhou Tao's roommate. Lang-ge, can you give the key to Dorm 24?"
"No." Xu Lang shook his head and bent down to keep looting Zhou Tao.
But as he bent, his pistol slipped from his hand and fell to the ground!
The flattering smile on Huang Hao's face vanished in an instant. In two or three strides, he lunged to within two ters of Xu Lang.
Thud!
Xu Lang twisted, a baseball bat appearing out of nowhere, and he swung it back, smashing Huang Hao on the forehead.
Huang Hao dropped cleanly; his skull caved in.
"Anyone who kicks down my door is going to die."
Saving one bullet made Xu Lang pretty pleased.
He went back to looting.
Zhou Tao hadn't been carrying much—just a few canned goods and a hockey stick.
Huang Hao was even poorer; the three items in his pack were all food, and he only had a small dagger on him.
Xu Lang slung the hockey stick behind his back, adjusted his baseball cap, and headed toward the gym.
Nobody ever said resource points wouldn't spawn items at night!
They just hadn't had anyone co through at night before.
Xu Lang entered the gym and, after searching around, actually found sothing.
[Plum Blossom 3]
[Type: Card]
[Rank: Unknown]
[Description: Cannot be disassembled... no idea what it's for]
He slid the card into his inner jacket pocket.
Gars knew these unknown things often had collection value, and when there were no upgrade requirents, it practically scread "mystery inside."
After finishing the gym, Xu Lang made straight for the nearest infirmary.
Along the way he toggled the chat on and off frequently, gathering other players' movents.
News of the large zombie's death had already spread, and through the Points Leaderboard everyone knew Xu Lang was the killer.
Now the whole public chat was filled with @ ntions of Xu Lang.
He paid them no mind, keeping his gun in hand as he ran at a steady pace.
The other players were slow to react—there were free supplies everywhere on the ground, and why not pick them up?
Soon Xu Lang reached the infirmary and saw a "notable figure" there.
When Zhang Dahai saw Xu Lang, he swallowed and reflexively hid a dical kit behind his back.
Xu Lang spotted Zhang Dahai and, his eyes flashing, imdiately went on to the next resource point without delay.
Zhang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the infirmary as well.
This place wouldn't stay safe for long; it would beco a scene of trouble.
Next, Xu Lang went to the equipnt room and the cafeteria, finding a pair of level-two items.
[Instant Sirloin Steak]
[Type: Food]
[Rank: 2]
[Satiation: 100]
[Effect: Quickly restores stamina]
[Upgrade Requirent: 40 Nightmare Coins]
[Description: I am a delicious steak]
…
[Alloy Combat Blade]
[Type: Cold Weapon]
[Rank: 2]
[Damage: 30]
[Durability: 25/25]
[Disassembly yields: Alloy x10]
[Upgrade Requirent: 150 Nightmare Coins]
[Description: No special effects, but just look at my durability—clearly very sturdy]
A baseball bat's durability was only 14; the alloy combat blade's 25—definitely durable.
Passing the equipnt room doorway, Xu Lang noticed a zombie with both legs torn off that was still alive. He casually drew the combat blade, placed it at its neck, and pressed down.
The zombie's head imdiately fell off!
"So sharp!" Xu Lang nodded with a bit of satisfaction.
At that mont, the Dormitory Broadcast ca on.
[Dormitory Broadcast: All monsters have been eliminated; this round of the ga has ended early!]
[Congratulations to everyone for surviving the first Dorm Survival Ga!]
[The second round will begin in 7 days and 14 hours!]
[Leaderboard rewards will be distributed one by one in three minutes!]
[Points Leaderboard—]
[Xu Lang: 201]
[Zhang Dahai: 100]
[Wang Ao: 98]
[…]
[This dormitory building was an original sealed building. Thanks to everyone's brave fighting, it has been unsealed and awarded the title—Mad King!]
[Everyone are players of "Mad King Phase One"!]
[To celebrate the unsealing, when the first ray of sunlight enters the dormitory building, a super big gift pack will be placed under the building—stay tuned!]
[The shop and the Blood Mist Exploration mode will also open then—stay tuned!]
The Dormitory Broadcast sounded sowhat exalted, as if unsealing was a huge deal.
Xu Lang was very interested in this unsealing, but heading back to the dorm was the sensible move right now.
He had a bunch of stuff on him, and he was about to get the number-one-ranked big gift pack when he returned—this was like holding ten "Bumper Harvest" cards in hand; not opening it would leave him twitchy.
