Chapter 48: The gate has been upgraded and you can lie down now!

Whoosh, whoosh~

As the zombies entered the range, the Bronze Repeating Crossbow immediately launched its attack.

The Swift Repeating Crossbow had an attack range of three meters, while the Bronze Repeating Crossbow had an attack range of five meters, and its attack speed was still fast!

Before the first crossbow bolt could hit the zombie, the second crossbow bolt followed closely behind.

The zombie was struck by the bronze crossbow bolt, its body momentarily pausing, then it ignored the bolt stuck in its waist and continued hopping closer to Dorm 200.

Whoosh, whoosh~

And so, the other crossbow also activated.

The bronze crossbow bolt traced a streak of light through the air, like a cyan flash of lightning!

Inside the dorm, Xu Lang and the three women were all watching nervously, their breathing almost stopping.

Fortunately, although the zombies had the Reinforced Iron Bones skill, by the time they got within two meters of the door, they had already been hit by six bolts and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Loot rolled out from their bodies.

But Xu Lang and the three women had no time to look, because behind the zombie were one... two... three more zombies!

Clang!

A zombie jumped in front of the dorm door, swinging its arms horizontally to strike.

Xu Lang grimaced, quickly grabbing steel materials and standing behind the door.

The Steel Door only had fifty durability points total. If three zombies surrounded and attacked it, it probably wouldn't last three minutes before breaking.

Steel materials weren't cheap, after all, nobody ever had enough of such basic materials.

Although Xu Lang had purchased quite a bit in advance, he hadn't bought too much. Combined with the previously dismantled airdrop boxes, he now had forty-five units of steel in stock, with each unit able to repair one point of Steel Door durability.

"We should be able to withstand the attack from these three zombies." Just as Xu Lang was thinking this, before he could relax, he heard Tong Qi's exclamation.

"Lang Ge, look quickly!" Tong Qi pointed at the surveillance screen.

On the surveillance screen, white mist churned as six zombies arranged in three rows broke through the mist with their ferocious cyan faces while hopping, looking particularly frightening.

Damn it!

Not only were there more zombies coming, but they arrived in three rows at once!

Xu Lang cursed inwardly, but his movements didn't hesitate at all.

It was already confirmed that the Ghost Child's Devour Ghosts skill had no effect on these physical-type monsters.

Which meant there was only one way to supplement damage now!

Although the zombies had reached the door and could smash it, this also made the Bronze Repeating Crossbow's attacks land more promptly.

The moment two zombies fell to the ground, Xu Lang immediately opened the door and extended one arm.

Colt, at your service!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Bullets fell like rain, creating a small metal storm!

This was Xu Lang's favorite magazine-emptying technique!

The effect was excellent.

The cramped hallway didn't require any aiming—all the bullets hit the zombies, immediately taking down two.

"Ding ling ling, ding ling ling~"

Just as Xu Lang was about to change magazines, the unknown bell in the hallway suddenly intensified its vibrations.

Instantly, Xu Lang felt a sharp pain in his head, and the world seemed to spin around him.

Without hesitation, he allocated two free attribute points to Spirit!

Seven points of Spirit became nine!

Xu Lang's condition improved considerably. Focusing intently, he looked down the hallway but found no useful information.

From then on, it seemed that as long as Xu Lang coordinated with the Bronze Repeating Crossbows, they could repel the zombie horde.

After all, the hallway was limited, and due to the zombies' peculiar movement patterns, they couldn't form an encircling formation.

One level three pistol, one level two door, two level two attack facilities—as long as the coordination was flawless, it seemed they could hold off this wave of monster attacks!

But the problem was, Xu Lang had Blood Grudge!

Xu Lang glanced at the faintly approaching figures in the right hallway and felt his scalp tingle.

"Can't stay out here any longer, or it will attract more monsters!"

Thinking this, Xu Lang took out an exquisite summoning card.

The card flashed with light, and a zombie ran out, roaring as it charged toward the right corridor.

The zombies on the right were momentarily obstructed. Xu Lang took the opportunity to empty another magazine, then immediately closed the door.

Leaning against the wall, Xu Lang adjusted his mindset, then said to Cao Yaxuan, "Yaxuan, you repair the door's durability."

Cao Yaxuan didn't ask why and immediately went behind the door.

It felt like a second had passed, or maybe an hour, when the "clang," "clang" sounds started up again outside the door!

Xu Lang opened the chat room and directly private messaged Wu Huihui, asking if all the zombies were coming to Dorm 200, or if other dorms were also under attack.

Wu Huihui's response was—other dorms were also under attack.

Seeing this message, Xu Lang felt considerably more settled.

If the intensity of zombies on the right was the same as on the left, even with over a thousand Nightmare Coins, he would still feel a headache.

He knew Blood Grudge wouldn't be that extreme. If all the monsters on the entire floor were meant for one dorm to handle, it would be better to just set it so players who killed others during rest time died instantly, sparing them the torture.

Clang!

The sound of zombies smashing the door outside continued incessantly. For a while, Tong Qi and Wang Yazhi didn't dare to breathe heavily.

Cao Yaxuan was sweating on her forehead, under the most pressure.

No one knew how much time had passed when she ran out of steel materials!

She hurriedly turned her head, sweating profusely as she looked at Xu Lang, only to find him pressing one hand against the Steel Door.

Xu Lang monitored the Steel Door's damage level, then timed it perfectly to upgrade when there were only ten durability points left.

The Steel Door flashed with light and transformed into a cyan door engraved with some mysterious patterns.

Instantly, the zombies outside who hadn't made a sound even when hit by crossbow bolts began screaming.

Xu Lang stared intently at the Cyan Steel Main Door with shining eyes.

In this game, sometimes you just had to rely on raw stats.

Cyan Steel Main Door, let me see your attributes!

"Hiss~ A total of 130 durability points?!"

Xu Lang was completely stunned.

The Cyan Steel Main Door and Biological Door were facilities not sold in the supermarket, so he genuinely didn't know the former's attributes were so exaggerated.

He had just chosen the Cyan Steel Main Door thinking he didn't have raw materials anyway, but unexpectedly ended up with a top-tier item!

Now he could rest easy.

Xu Lang glanced at his remaining Nightmare Coins and felt reassured.

He still had eight hundred thirty-nine Nightmare Coins. You want to instantly kill me?

"Alright, we can take it easy now." Xu Lang smiled at the three women.

Seeing their somewhat confused expressions, he immediately shared the Cyan Steel Main Door's information.

The dorm fell silent for a second, then erupted with joyful exclamations.

On the surveillance screen, zombies fell one after another.

Every time they touched the Cyan Steel Main Door, their hands would emit white smoke, with more severe cases having their fingers melted.

Coupled with the continuous attacks from the two Bronze Repeating Crossbows, a small clearing actually appeared in front of the entire dorm door!

The clearing wasn't large, only about one meter in distance, but it seemed to have become a forbidden zone for all zombies!
