Chapter 20: The last night, the ultimate hunt!

Wu Leiting was one of those who had gone out to hunt zombies and managed to return to the dorm quickly.

Right now, watching the names of lower-floor players dimming one by one, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, his entire body trembling with tension.

What should he do!?

That huge monster was about to come up and kill them all!

From the gradually regular rhythm of names dimming, it was clear that the Large Zombie only needed ten minutes to break through an iron door!

This speed was truly terrifying.

Keep in mind, the total number of players now was only 85!

Which meant that in just fourteen hours, this Large Zombie could slaughter its way through the entire dorm building!

This time, those living on the lower floors were truly doomed!

"With over ten hours left until the game ends, damn it, there's absolutely no chance of survival on this floor... I have to run, I must escape!"

"But where should I run to?"

"Where exactly should I go?"

Wu Leiting's mind went completely blank, hot sweat pouring down uncontrollably.

At this moment, many people found themselves in the same desperate situation as Wu Leiting.

"Wait, I can ask upper-floor players for help, let me become a tenant instead - I'm done being this damn room owner!"

Thinking this, Wu Leiting wanted to open the door and go out.

But halfway there, he stopped again.

A crucial problem now presented itself!

Daytime resources had almost all been consumed by lower-floor players, and many upper-floor players' rental rooms only had wooden doors!

"Doesn't that mean the Large Zombie wouldn't even need this long to kill us all?! And, isn't there supposed to be another special zombie too..."

Before solving one problem, another emerged!

He couldn't keep thinking about this - he'd go crazy if he did!

At this moment, many people shared Wu Leiting's desperate situation.

But there were also those even more broken than Wu Leiting.

The first floor, once the gathering place for elite players.

Now it was filled with misery and lament, everyone fearing for their own safety.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Terrifying door-bashing sounds rang out one after another, making first-floor players dizzy with fear.

Currently, the Large Zombie had set its sights on Room 9.

His shout in the group chat actually prompted someone to trade him iron materials.

They had no choice - if his door broke, someone else would be next.

Wave after wave of support actually allowed Sun Heng to hold on stubbornly.

After who knows how long, suddenly, the banging stopped.

Then, the direction of the banging changed!

This time, Dorm 10 was under attack!

The player hiding inside was instantly dumbfounded.

He had been the most active in trading materials to Sun Heng just moments before.

Immediately, he begged for help in the chat room, using exactly the same tactics as Sun Heng.

Yet, tragically, no one was willing to help him anymore.

Everyone had panicked earlier, giving Sun Heng raw materials for free, but now they'd come to their senses.

Wasn't that just stupid behavior!?

When you're about to die yourself, still giving blood transfusions to others - were they crazy!?

BOOM!

Soon after, Dorm 10 was breached, and within less than thirty seconds, that player's name dimmed.

Now it was Dorm 11's turn!

"Help me..." The player in Dorm 11 mumbled to himself, not even bothering to post in the chat room.

Because he knew no one would help him!

As players' names dimmed one after another, each represented a life extinguished.

Only after several players did the Large Zombie's cold, mechanical rhythm finally change.

To survive, players began extreme parkour!

At first, some first-floor players tried to quietly escape the dorm, only to explode after being glanced at by the zombie!

When the Large Zombie saw obvious living creatures, it wouldn't bother with the door-breaking game - with its long legs running, almost no one could outrun it.

But this gave other players a chance to escape their rooms.

Now, the entire chat room was filled with desperate cries from bottom-floor players.

—I'll give you all my resources if you just let me into your room!

Players without rooms began scrambling throughout the dorm building, as if playing hide-and-seek with ghosts.

"Brother, how much iron material do you have left?" In the stairwell, a sturdy boy asked a shorter boy.

"Still 46 portions, why?" The shorter boy turned around, confused.

STAB!!!

A dagger directly pierced his throat.

After stealing the shorter boy's resources, the sturdy boy used his large quantity of iron materials as bargaining chips to find an upper-floor room with an iron door, suggesting to the room owner to only accept tenants with iron materials.

As long as they survived one round, the Large Zombie would switch to attacking another room!

Xu Lang watched the chat room filled with desperate pleas, his expression turning grave.

Immediately, he didn't sit idly by either, starting to take out ropes and other tools to measure and plan within the room.

"Xu Lang, what are you doing?" Cao Yaxuan asked.

"Setting traps. We can't rely solely on the steel door," Xu Lang replied seriously.

Tong Qi was amazed that Xu Lang even knew how to set traps.

"Can these traps kill the Large Zombie?" Cao Yaxuan swallowed hard.

"No." Xu Lang shook his head. "So you need to be mentally prepared - once the traps restrain the zombie, we'll run upstairs!"

"Why run upstairs? Isn't that a dead end?" Cao Yaxuan immediately found this unreliable.

Xu Lang explained:

"I just chatted with Zhang Dahai - he said the zombie he killed could climb walls... This means one 'pursuer position' is already dead!"

"When we reach the top floor, we'll use my rope for rapid descent. We don't need too many floors, just one or two levels. Theoretically, we could keep leading the ghost around like this."

"Understand?"

Cao Yaxuan swallowed again: "Sounds really difficult."

"This is the last resort... Since it's the final option, wanting to survive safely is absolutely impossible!" Xu Lang said seriously.

Actually, the best method would be to upgrade his pistol now, go out and eliminate those two zombies.

But there was another problem here.

The other zombie still hadn't shown itself!

What abilities it possessed remained completely unknown!

The best approach now was actually to wait until night passed, when the small bed refreshed during daytime, so he could quickly sleep and gather 300 Nightmare Coins to reinforce the main door.

Only by surviving could he deal damage!

This had been Xu Lang's initial plan from the start.

If he'd known the other players would be this useless, he wouldn't have adjusted his sleep schedule.

Theoretically, each game round should produce a few survivors.

And with his Level 3 steel door upgrade, he'd essentially locked in final survival rates!

Yet with players in this pathetic state, survival rates were clearly trending toward zero!

He had underestimated the cruelty of the Dorm Survival Game!

Thinking about it, it made sense - players made one wrong step, then another wrong step, almost never doing the right things.

When the economy gap exceeds ten thousand, still thinking about turning things around - wasn't that just laughable?

Who said beginner levels had to give you a way out!
