Chapter 21: Colt Viper, kills the cat demon!

The bloody massacre continued unabated!

A terrifying atmosphere spread throughout the dormitory building, with chaos, brutality, and horror permeating the very air.

This aura wormed its way into the marrow of every player like an incurable disease.

Some players realized that fleeing was better than staying in their rooms. No matter how powerful the large zombie was, there was only one of it. As long as it couldn't fly or burrow underground, they had a chance to survive!

Inside his room, Xu Lang noticed the players' death rate slowing down. Combined with the information from the chat room, he roughly guessed what was happening.

This made him secretly sigh with relief.

"For players, the enemy is just monsters that threaten them. But for the monsters, the enemy is the entire dormitory building!"

"The strength of all players is actually just individual strength... This game does have some bias toward teamwork."

"If everyone had united from the beginning... never mind, if they'd united to go downstairs initially, everyone would have died, wiped out in one wave."

Xu Lang murmured to himself.

While others were desperately fleeing for their lives, Xu Lang was already contemplating the core essence and nature of this game.

This was what many knowledge influencers loved to call the "underlying logic" - sometimes useful, sometimes completely useless.

Ultimately, everything came down to strength.

If Xu Lang could punch through the entire dormitory building, he wouldn't need to consider any of this.

Of course, that was pure fantasy, not worth considering.

"Xu Lang, it seems like the danger has passed." Cao Yaxuan said with joyful expression.

"Mm-hmm." Xu Lang nodded.

"Wait, Lang Ge, look at the chat room quickly!" Tong Qi suddenly shouted.

Seeing this message, Xu Lang's heart tightened, and he instinctively spun his pistol.

Xu Lang opened the picture and saw a humanoid monster with many feline characteristics, resembling a cat demon.

In the image, it was lowering its head to gnaw on a male student's heart.

Invisibility, sharp claws... Xu Lang had a basic understanding now.

To be honest, this kind of monster was quite troublesome. If they could gang up on it, its frail-looking body probably couldn't withstand many hits. But trying to form any coordinated force now was pure fantasy.

In the chat room, information kept flowing continuously.

Some residents from higher floors advised players not to come upstairs, saying they'd only find survival by going elsewhere.

Meanwhile, some players who had fled the dormitory desperately begged to be taken in, just to become tenants of higher-floor residents for mutual cooperation and benefit.

"Lang Ge, what should we do? The players' death rate seems to be accelerating again." Cao Yaxuan said anxiously.

By now, everyone had gotten used to referring to their former classmates as "players," and Cao Yaxuan was no exception.

"You should finish eating your hot pot first, that's what really matters." Xu Lang glanced at the self-heating hot pot.

Cao Yaxuan's face darkened - how could she possibly have any appetite for food right now?

Tong Qi blinked her big eyes. Wasn't this Senior Cao supposed to be the campus goddess? Rumors said she was usually aloof and cold, so why did she seem so clingy now, consulting Xu Lang about everything?

Probably afraid of dying...

That was the only explanation Tong Qi could come up with.

Death - Tong Qi was afraid of it too.

But after eating a full meal, she felt unusually calm, as if what she'd said earlier was true - she wouldn't mind dying on the spot.

Time flew by, and within just a few minutes, someone rushed up to the tenth floor.

Moreover, they spotted the distinctive dormitory door of room 200.

"Damn, Xu Lang, what's going on?! What kind of door is this?" The person outside exclaimed first, then covered their mouth and said with extreme urgency: "Xu Lang, open the door quickly, let me in! That invisible monster is coming soon!"

Xu Lang watched through the peephole, unmoved.

Since outsiders had no hierarchical relationship with room owners, they could still attack the owner even inside the room.

For this reason alone, Xu Lang couldn't possibly let anyone in.

"Xu Lang, can you hear me?"

The person outside spoke again, then contacted Xu Lang through the chat room.

Xu Lang didn't want to waste his time and directly refused.

Xu Lang was stunned.

If it's not mine, then is it yours?

"Xu Lang, open the door quickly!" Shi Hang pounded on the door frantically, burning with anxiety.

The smooth, thick metallic texture under his palms made him intensely jealous - if he had such a door, he wouldn't have needed to flee his room.

"This dormitory belongs to the school, don't you know that?!"

"You're so selfish, no one will help you later!"

"Lang Ge, just let me in, I'll only stay for an hour!"

Xu Lang shook his head and stopped trying to persuade.

Let him knock if he wants - it wasn't his own escape time being wasted anyway.

"Fuck your mother!" Shi Hang flew into a rage and slammed his fist fiercely against the steel door.

The steel door flashed with light, followed by a sickening crack - the sound of breaking bones.

Xu Lang winced, while simultaneously feeling grateful to this guy.

Thanks for testing the door, otherwise I wouldn't have known the steel door was this strong!

Perhaps he had somewhat underestimated the steel door's defensive capabilities. Maybe even two zombies attacking together wouldn't necessarily break its durability.

Shi Hang gasped in pain while pleading desperately:

"Please, for the sake of us being classmates!"

"I still have an iron door design blueprint and some iron materials! Don't you want copper coins? I can give you all the copper coins I have!"

"As long as you let me in, I'll agree to anything!"

Xu Lang remained expressionless, staying silent.

Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan also stayed quiet - at times like this, neither of them spouted any foolish, sanctimonious nonsense.

After all, this was already the fifth day of the game. Those who hadn't recognized the situation had long since died.

Seeing that pleading was useless and lacking the energy to curse anymore, Shi Hang turned to leave.

But right at that moment, a claw shadow materialized out of thin air!

Because Shi Hang was clutching his arm with his neck tucked in, this strike only tore the flesh from his face instead of killing him instantly.

Screaming, he turned to run.

A gray shadow pounced on Shi Hang, frantically clawing at his chest.

It was exactly that neither-cat-nor-human monster from Wu Leiting's photo!

Seeing the zombie's backside facing him, Xu Lang immediately recognized a perfect opportunity and hurriedly upgraded his pistol.

"Yes!"

Xu Lang hadn't expected this option and mentally shouted his response.

"Viper!"

The Colt Silver Wheel had less than five rounds - the margin for error was too low!

In the next instant, a flash of brilliant light transformed Xu Lang's black-gray pistol, staining it with a touch of green.

Without hesitation, Xu Lang decisively reached out, and the unlocked door automatically opened.

The outside air rushed in instantly, icy and piercing cold!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Three consecutive shots, all three hitting the head!

Xu Lang felt the pistol's handling was absolutely first-class - it went exactly where he aimed!

Immediately after, he quickly retreated two steps, aiming the gun at the cat demon until he confirmed 100 points had been credited to his account. Only then did he approach to collect the dropped items.

Shi Hang was already dead, his intestines spilled all over the floor.

From beginning to end, Xu Lang's eyes had been fixed only on the cat demon, without even glancing at him.

After looting the drops, he directly returned to his room without wasting a single second.
