Chapter 143 Dormitory Building, Critical Situation!

"Roar—!!!"

In the Dormitory building corridors, the roars converged into a deafening wave of sound.

Level 3 Zombies, like a tide, frantically slammed against one Dormitory door after another.

Occasionally interspersed among them were the sturdier and faster LV4 Zombies; every impact made the iron doors let out a painful, loud bang.

"Damn it, hold on! Everyone, hold on for me!"

On the Third Floor, Wang Meng's voice was already shouting until it was a bit hoarse.

He stared fixedly at the continuously dropping durability of his own Dormitory door, his eyes turning bloodshot.

"Next Dormitory! 315! Get ready to take the aggro!"

Following Wang Meng's command.

Not far away, the door of Dormitory 315 suddenly pulled open a crack, and the people inside roared with all their might, attempting to draw the aggro.

The movements of the zombie swarm experienced a moment of hesitation.

Immediately, the nearest portion of zombies turned around, roaring as they charged toward their new target.

"Brother Meng! We can't go on like this!"

One of the burly men, his face pale, hid behind Wang Meng, his voice trembling.

"These zombies are like they've gone mad! Where is Boss Su Ze? Why hasn't Boss arrived yet?!"

"Shut up!" Wang Meng roared irritably.

"Boss must be on his way! Tonight's zombies are much stronger than before; it's normal for Boss to kill them a bit slower!"

Even as he said this, Wang Meng's own heart was pounding like a drum.

Something was too wrong.

According to past experience, Su Ze should have come out with his spear to harvest them long ago.

But now, nearly fifteen minutes had passed, and not even a ghost of him was seen!

It wasn't just the Third Floor.

Zhuang Qianhao on the First Floor, Xu Feng on the Eighth Floor, Qiao Yunfeng on the Tenth Floor...

All the leaders were anxiously commanding their subordinates, struggling to hold on using "kiting ghosts" tactics.

The players on every floor felt like they were walking a tightrope, fearfully calculating the durability of their Dormitory doors and praying for that god-like man to quickly appear.

Time passed minute by minute.

Twenty minutes...

Twenty-five minutes...

Su Ze still did not appear.

An uneasy emotion began to spread frantically in the hearts of the ten great leaders.

Wang Meng could no longer hold back; he immediately opened the private chat panel.

[Private Chat · Wang Meng: Boss! The Third Floor is about to collapse! Where are you?!]

The message was sent, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.

Wang Meng's heart skipped a beat, and he sent it again.

Still no response.

He immediately opened the private chat group for the other leaders.

[Wang Meng: @All Members, which floor did Boss go to? Say something!]

[Zhuang Qianhao: He didn't come to my First Floor! I thought he went to your upper floors!]

[Xu Feng: Not on the Eighth Floor either! I fucking thought Boss went to save someone else first!]

[Qiao Yunfeng: Haven't seen him on the Tenth Floor!]

[Wu Hailong: ...Not here either!! How could Boss Su Ze suddenly disappear?]

One reply after another popped up, and each reply was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly smashing against the hearts of all the leaders.

Ten floors, and Su Ze hadn't gone to a single one!

He hadn't appeared at all!

Panic instantly seized everyone's hearts.

Wang Meng's hand shook, and extreme panic rose in his heart.

He forced himself to calm down and quickly sent a message.

[Wang Meng: Don't panic! Everyone, try to contact Boss first! Maybe Boss is in battle and doesn't have time to check messages!]

A few seconds later.

[Zhuang Qianhao: No! System prompt: The other party is currently in a Special State and cannot receive messages!]

[Xu Feng: Same here! Can't get through!]

[Qiao Yunfeng: Fuck! I can't get through either!]

Boom!

This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing the brains of all the leaders to instantly go blank.

Unable to contact him?

At this critical juncture, their pillar of support, the invincible Su Ze, actually couldn't be reached?!

"It's over..." After learning this, a burly man under Wang Meng slumped to the ground, his face ashen.

Wang Meng's expression was also ugly to the extreme; he gritted his teeth hard, countless terrifying thoughts flashing through his mind.

Could it be... something happened to Boss?

No! Impossible!

"Contact Jiang Yuwan!" Wang Meng was like a man grasping at the last straw. "Quick! Ask what the situation is over at Dormitory 404!"

...

Dormitory 404.

The atmosphere was also solemn to the extreme.

On Jiang Yuwan's cold face, her brows were tightly furrowed.

She was also wondering; with such a large commotion outside, logically Su Ze should have gone out to slaughter everyone long ago, so why was there still no movement?

Hadn't he gone out before midnight?

Just then, her private chat panel flashed frantically.

It was urgent messages sent by the ten great leaders.

[Private Chat · Wang Meng: Ms. Jiang Yuwan! Boss has lost contact! Do you know what's going on?!]

[Private Chat · Zhuang Qianhao: None of us can contact Boss! Is he in your Dormitory?!]

Looking at these extremely anxious messages, Jiang Yuwan's heart sank abruptly.

Lost contact?

She didn't dare to delay and immediately tried to private chat Su Ze.

The next second, a line of cold system prompts clearly appeared before her eyes.

[Prompt: The other party is currently in a Special State and cannot receive messages.]

It was true!

That dog man really couldn't be reached!!!

"What's wrong, Sister Yuwan?" Yao Qingya was the first to notice her expression was wrong and asked worriedly.

The gazes of the other women in the Dormitory also turned toward her in unison.

Jiang Yuwan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the overwhelming waves in her heart, and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Su Ze... can't be reached."

"What?!"

That single sentence caused the atmosphere of the entire Dormitory to instantly drop to the freezing point.

"How can he not be reached? Didn't he go out?"

Yao Qingya's face turned white in an instant, her voice carrying a hint of a sob, "Could... could something have happened to him?"

"No!" Liu Qiaofei's pure little face was filled with determination as she shook her head vigorously.

"Senior Su Ze is so powerful; he definitely won't be in trouble!"

Su Meier also put away her usual charm; she walked to Jiang Yuwan's side, her expression serious.

"Now is not the time to panic; the Landlord definitely wouldn't disappear for no reason..."

An Lan, who had been silent, did not speak now either.

She just silently pulled out that fine-quality watermelon knife from her player inventory.

No expression could be seen on her heroic face, but the knuckles gripping the hilt tightly betrayed the lack of calm in her heart.

"Su Ze... my brother..."

Qiao Yunge's face was also somewhat pale; her usually carefree nature had vanished, replaced by a face full of worry.

"Su Ze... and my brother... can they hold on?"

Li Xinran crossed her arms, a rare look of gravity and surprise appearing on her proud face.

Su Ze would actually disappear at this most critical moment?

"No matter what he's encountered," she spoke coldly, "the most important thing now is that we must hold out until he returns."

"Everyone, please follow my orders for what comes next."
