Chapter 11 Zombie Invasion! A Miscalculation

Tears blurred her vision, and ignoring the pain in her body, she struggled to crawl up.

Because she knew there were less than three minutes left, and if she didn't want to die outside, she had to find a shelter.

“Is anyone there? Please, let me in!” She began knocking on the nearest Dormitory door, her voice tearful, almost pleading.

“Get lost! Our dorm is full!” A rough roar came from inside.

She ran to the next door and pounded on it hard: “Please, take me in! I can do anything!”

“Leave quickly! Don't drag us down with you!” Her response was a merciless rejection.

She knocked on one door after another.

However.

“Stop knocking, or I'll beat you to death!”

“Get the hell away! Don't fucking lead the zombies here later!”

“Go away!!”

The responses she received were without exception cold, wary, or even curses.

Time ticked away second by second, and her heart sank bit by bit to the bottom.

In the corridor, the chaotic shouts, cries, and the sound of things being smashed were like a boiling pot of porridge, completely drowning her out.

In her desperation, a thought suddenly surfaced in her mind.

Su Ze!

She remembered the arrogant Su Ze from the public channel earlier, who claimed he “only accepts goddesses, if not beautiful, then not wanted.”

At the time, she thought he was frivolous, talking nonsense just because he was a landlord, and she had even cursed him a few times in her heart.

But now, that phrase “if not beautiful, then not wanted” had become her only hope.

At least, she was the publicly recognized pure campus belle; she definitely met his standards!

Trembling, she opened the private chat interface on the virtual screen and frantically sent messages to Su Ze.

【Private Chat: Liu Qiaofei: Student Su Ze! I am Liu Qiaofei! The campus belle Liu Qiaofei!! Please take me in! I've been kicked out!】

【Private Chat: Liu Qiaofei: I... I'll listen to whatever you say! I can really do anything! Please, give me a chance!】

【Private Chat: Liu Qiaofei: I didn't curse you then! I didn't say anything bad about you! Please, save me!】

One message after another, she typed incredibly fast, the lines filled with humility and pleading.

She was even glad she hadn't criticized Su Ze on the public channel before, otherwise she wouldn't even have the right to ask for help now.

However, the messages were sent out like stones sinking into the ocean, without any response.

She didn't know that Su Ze was currently sprinting through the campus and had no time to attend to anything else.

【Private Chat: Liu Qiaofei: Su Ze! Are you still there? Please answer me! I'm going to die!】

【Private Chat: Liu Qiaofei: I really have nowhere else to go! It's too dangerous outside! I don't want to die!】

She was shaking all over from extreme tension and fear, but using her mind, she sent over a dozen messages, yet still never received a reply from Su Ze.

Time, only a few seconds remained.

Just as she fell into complete despair, a cold voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, suddenly resounded through the entire Jinghai University campus, as if coming from all directions, and as if exploding directly in everyone's mind.

“Ding! Midnight has arrived!”

“The first night of the novice period, zombies descend!”

As the voice fell, the walls at the end of the corridor, as if stained by ink, rapidly spread with thick black mist.

The mist churned and twisted, and immediately after, one swaying figure after another slowly walked out of that black mist.

They were thin, their skin was pale green, and a faint green light shone from their hollow eye sockets—they were zombies!

“Ah—the zombies are here!”

“How could they appear directly in the corridor!!”

“Run!”

“Help...”

Piercing screams erupted instantly, and people in the corridor scrambled to flee in the opposite direction, stumbling, with cries, curses, and pleas for help mixed together like a living hell.

However, they soon discovered in horror,

That thick black mist was also pouring out from the end of the corridor in the opposite direction,

And another group of zombies was swaying toward them!

Liu Qiaofei was so frightened that she stood frozen in place, her legs weak and unable to move.

She looked at the zombies walking out of the black mist, looking at their twisted bodies and hideous faces, her mind a complete blank.

She finally recognized the reality: Su Ze couldn't possibly come to save her now.

No one would risk their life to come out and save a useless pretty face after zombies had appeared.

Tears of despair broke through the floodgates once again.

...

At the same time, in Su Ze's mind, two crisp notification sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Today's free attribute points +2!】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Today's intelligence *2!】

His heart skipped a beat, and without hesitation, he immediately used his consciousness to put both of the newly acquired 2 free attribute points into Stamina.

【Player: Su Ze】

【Personal Attributes: health 6, Strength 8, intelligence 6, Stamina 8, spirit 6, speed 6】

【basic combat power: 40】

The entrance to the Dormitory building was close at hand, but his body was somewhat exhausted from the long sprint.

He had originally wanted to add these two attribute points to speed to return to the dorm faster.

But considering his stamina was almost completely depleted along the way.

He made a quick decision and added both free attribute points to Stamina.

The increase in the Stamina attribute caused the fatigue from his intense running to instantly lessen, and a new surge of power flowed through his muscles.

He didn't pause and lunged into the entrance of the Dormitory building.

As soon as he entered, he subconsciously glanced back.

Everywhere on campus was filled with thick black mist, like ink blobs appearing out of thin air, rapidly expanding.

And from within the thick mist, one swaying figure after another was pouring out continuously, their hollow roars rising and falling.

Their goal was very clear; almost all of them were heading toward the Dormitory building.

They were densely packed, like a tide.

However, as he turned to continue his sprint, he saw a large crowd of people rushing toward him.

Fear and panic were written all over their faces.

Some even had blood on them, running toward the Dormitory entrance as if they had seen a ghost.

“Run! There are zombies at both ends of the corridor!” a boy shouted in terror as he ran, his voice tearful.

“Damn it! This shitty game doesn't play fair!”

“Quick, escape the Dormitory building!!”

Many girls were also screaming, stumbling along with the crowd as they rushed out.

Su Ze heard these panicked cries, and his heart suddenly sank.

A miscalculation!

Everyone knew that the endless darkness outside the school was an absolute forbidden zone—enter and you die!

So according to normal logic, the midnight zombies would emerge from the endless darkness.

His original plan was that even if his stamina couldn't keep up, after getting the Serum and weapon, he would be almost back at the Dormitory building.

By the time the zombie horde outside rushed over, there would be enough time for him to return to Room 404 on the 4th floor.

But now, zombies were actually appearing directly inside the Dormitory building!

This meant,

He had to fight his way back!

Su Ze's eyes sharpened, and he gripped the sharp long spear in his hand, ready to strike!
