Chapter 142 Intelligence Update, Kiting Tactics

Su Ze didn't stop, his long spear swinging as another Level 3 Zombie's head was pierced.

While maintaining high-speed movement, he quickly scanned the series of information that had just refreshed in his mind.

free attribute points, keep them for now.

Refreshing supplies...

[Ding! Congratulations, your Dormitory refresh has obtained Rare Grade · emergency revitalization potion *1!]

[emergency revitalization potion: After use, quickly restores 30% of health within 3 seconds.]

Good stuff.

A thought flashed through Su Ze's mind as he directly put it into his backpack.

Now, the most critical thing is intelligence.

He urgently needed information that could help him break the situation quickly!

[Intelligence 1: The Treasure Map scene you are currently in has been deliberately tampered with by a relevant Intelligent Race. The scene difficulty has soared, and the danger has significantly increased! The only exit is a hidden Secret Door, which is extremely well-concealed and requires careful observation or deducing patterns to find. However, the rarity of the treasures obtained has also significantly increased.]

Seeing the first piece of intelligence, Su Ze's movements slowed by half a beat.

As expected!

He was being targeted!

After obtaining the "Ten Thousand Zombie Slayer" achievement before,

The intelligence he refreshed had hinted that it would attract the attention of relevant races.

At that time, he thought even if the other party intended to target him, it couldn't happen so fast.

He didn't expect they could actually tamper with the Treasure Map!

Moreover, this intelligence revealed a key piece of information—the zombie race possesses high intelligence and is definitely not like those brainless things he encountered in the Dormitory building that only know how to roar.

Hidden Secret Door...

Su Ze glanced at the surrounding pitch-black tunnels extending in all directions, and his frown deepened.

Finding a hidden door in this godforsaken place was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

As for the treasure...

Su Ze felt he had no heart to worry about that now.

He suppressed the irritation in his heart and continued looking at the second piece of intelligence.

[Intelligence 2: The influx of zombies into the Maze is also through the only exit. Note: Any unit passing through the exit will be teleported back to their respective Base.]

This intelligence made Su Ze's eyes light up.

There's a trail to follow!

The zombies also came in from the exit.

That meant as long as he found the source of the zombies, he could find the exit!

Furthermore, the exit's function was quite smart; if he went out, he'd return to the Dormitory building;

If the zombies went out, they'd return to their lair.

Su Ze continued to the last one.

[Intelligence 3: A Powerful Existence is secretly observing you and is preparing to obstruct your progress as much as possible without violating the rules, even intending to design a way to kill you.]

Here it comes!

Su Ze's heart tightened as an invisible pressure enveloped him.

Powerful Existence...

The intelligence used the word "design".

This proved he might not be able to enter the field personally.

Combined with the novice period rule restrictions he learned before, the current highest level monster is LV5.

So, the strongest force this so-called "Powerful Existence" can use should be a LV5 Zombie.

However.

He wasn't afraid of a single LV5.

But...

What if the other party plays dirty, not violating the "highest level" rule but making a fuss about "quantity"?

If a large group of LV5 Zombies came...

Su Ze didn't dare to think further.

In that kind of scene, even he felt he wouldn't fare well.

And he didn't know what other dirty tricks the opponent had; after all, this was their home turf.

He must find the exit as soon as possible!

Su Ze immediately changed his strategy; he slowed down and no longer just ran headlong along the left wall.

He had previously learned the [Elementary Reconnaissance] skill.

Now his eyes were like radar, carefully scanning every inch of the walls, floor, and even the ceiling along the way.

No one could say for sure if this so-called Secret Door would be set in some nook or cranny.

Su Ze even felt that not taking the usual path was the "style" of this exit.

At the same time, he began to consciously distinguish the direction the zombies were coming from.

These low-level zombies moved slowly.

But the direction they appeared in had a faint pattern.

While clearing the zombies blocking his way, Su Ze fought his way toward the direction where the zombies were most dense.

Attempting to find the source of where they came from.

Meanwhile, he didn't use the [Burst] Bond.

This trump card must be saved for the most critical moment.

Whether it was to deal with a potentially powerful enemy or to escape in a desperate situation, this Bond was crucial.

...

Meanwhile, Jinghai University Dormitory.

When the midnight notification sounded, the zombie tide of the final night arrived.

"Roar—!!!"

What was completely different from the previous six nights was the level of the zombies.

In the corridors, not a single LV1 ordinary zombie could be seen anymore.

Replacing them were groups of Lv.2 Zombies, mixed with a large number of Level 3 Zombies!

What made people's skin crawl even more was that a few LV4 Zombies also appeared in the zombie tide!

Their speed and strength were more than one level higher than LV3.

Every impact made the Dormitory doors groan under the heavy burden!

"Hold on! Dammit, everyone hold on!"

On the third floor, Wang Meng was shouting commands hoarsely.

At this moment, it was his Dormitory being attacked.

The Dormitory door's durability had already dropped below half.

"Next Dormitory get ready! Three, two, one! Switch!"

Following Wang Meng's command.

A player in a distant Dormitory immediately opened their Dormitory door.

Perhaps because the scent of the living was strong, the zombie group's aggro was instantly transferred, roaring as they rushed toward the new target.

"Brother Meng, this can't go on! Why hasn't Boss Su Ze arrived yet?"

Jiang Haiqing's face was pale, his voice trembling as he constantly contacted Wang Meng.

"Shut up! Boss is definitely on his way! What we need to do is stall for time!"

Wang Meng roared, but his heart was equally full of anxiety.

There was no helping it; tonight's zombie offensive was much more rapid than any previous night!!

In the entire Dormitory building, each of the ten floors, under the leadership of their respective Leader, fell into a high-tension "Kiting" tactic.

The dormitories on the east side attracted aggro, and when durability became critical, it was immediately transferred to the middle, then from the middle to the west side.

Repeating this way.

Every Dormitory was struggling to hold on, and everyone was silently reciting the same name in their hearts.

Su Ze.

They placed all their hopes on that man.

But they didn't know that the savior they were longing for was currently trapped in an unknown Maze and couldn't get out for the time being...

Meanwhile,

On every floor of the Teaching Building, there was a LV4 Zombie.

Each of them was standing amidst a pile of incomplete corpses of their own kind, constantly opening their bloody maws to bite and devour the surrounding zombies.

With every zombie devoured, the aura on its body grew stronger.

They were working hard to evolve...
