Chapter 151 Desperate Players, Hunted by Zombies

3rd Floor, Dormitory 333.

Wang Meng stood by the door, staring intently at Zhuang Qianhao's completely darkened profile picture on the Public Channel.

His fists clenched until they cracked.

"Brother Meng..." a burly man spoke cautiously, "Zhuang Qianhao, he..."

"Shut up."

Wang Meng's voice was low, yet it carried a suppressed rage.

He and Zhuang Qianhao had been competing openly and secretly since they joined Su Ze.

Both were leaders, both wanting to perform better in front of Su Ze to secure more resources and a greater say.

Many times, they even wanted to play small tricks on each other.

But being under Su Ze's command, more often than not, they were comrades who could fight side by side.

They shared a mutual respect, like heroes recognizing one another.

But now...

Zhuang Qianhao was dead.

Just like that.

Wang Meng gritted his teeth, his heart a mix of grief and fury.

"Damn it, just wait until the Boss gets back..."

...

In the Public Channel, many players were flooding the screen.

[5th Floor-864-Wan Xia (tenant): Zhuang Qianhao... rest in peace.]

[7th Floor-516-Tang Ren (tenant): Brother, we will remember you.]

[9th Floor-448-Wang Lingling (landlord): Fuck, this goddamn apocalypse...]

[10th Floor-165-Li Nian (tenant): Boss Zhuang, thank you for your sacrifice. We will always remember you!]

...

Meanwhile, on the First Floor.

The smoke cleared.

Severed limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and black blood pooled on the floor.

And at the edge of the explosion, that massive figure slowly stood up.

LV5 Zombie.

It was still alive.

Its body was scorched in many places, its left arm was nearly blown off, and there was a huge bloody hole in its chest.

But it still stood up.

In its eerie green eyes, a light of violent rage flickered.

"Hooo—!!!"

It let out a deafening roar toward the sky.

This sound was clearly heard by every player in the entire Dormitory building.

One could even faintly hear the fury within it.

The Public Channel instantly exploded.

[2nd Floor-288-Pang Bai (landlord): Fuck! It's still alive?!]

[3rd Floor-315-Jiang Haiqing (landlord): Even explosives couldn't kill it?!]

[5th Floor-789-Sun Jiajia (tenant): It's over... it's completely over...]

[7th Floor-942-Qiu Wan (tenant): We're dead meat...]

[9th Floor-526-Li Jinye (tenant): Where is Su Ze? Boss Su Ze, where on earth are you?! Come back quickly!!]

Despair spread among the players like a plague.

Inside Dormitory 404 on the Fourth Floor.

Jiang Yuwan's face looked terrible as she read the desperate messages on the Public Channel.

"Sister Yuwan..." Liu Qiaofei's voice was trembling, "What should we do?"

Jiang Yuwan didn't answer.

She stared at the virtual panel, her fingers shaking.

Even explosives couldn't kill it...

Then what else could they do?

On the other side, in the First Floor corridor.

The LV5 Zombie looked down at its dead kin around it.

It opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs.

The next second, it pounced on the nearest zombie corpse and began to devour it frantically.

Crack—

The sound of bones being crushed echoed through the corridor.

The LV5 Zombie devoured with extreme speed, eating an entire corpse in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after, its wounds began to heal at a visible rate.

The bloody hole from the explosion was slowly closing.

Its nearly severed left arm was also regrowing.

It was recovering.

And the recovery speed was incredibly fast.

Meanwhile, outside the Dormitory building, a continuous stream of zombies was still pouring in.

Densely packed, with no end in sight.

They frantically slammed against every Dormitory door.

Second floor, Third Floor, Fourth Floor...

Players on every floor were resisting with all their might.

But most players didn't have many materials stored, and the durability of the Dormitory doors was almost depleted.

Wails and screams rose one after another.

A thick sense of despair shrouded the entire Dormitory building.

And at this moment, on the other side.

...

Deep within the Zombie Tide Maze.

Su Ze stood amidst a pile of corpses, his long spear stained with black blood.

Around him, zombie corpses lay scattered in all directions.

His expression was grim.

Those mysterious guys had intentionally misled him to the wrong place and lured a massive number of zombies here, forming an encirclement.

Of course, in front of him, even an LV5 was something to be killed instantly; he had carved a path straight through the encirclement.

"Interesting."

Su Ze gave a cold laugh.

The next second, he moved, his long spear striking like a dragon.

Puchi!

Another LV4 Zombie's head was pierced through.

[Ding! Killed LV4 Zombie *1! Obtained 80 copper coins!]

[Gold Burst Bond in effect, obtained an additional 40 copper coins!]

Su Ze didn't stop, continuing his slaughter.

His speed was extremely fast, and his power was immense.

Those LV5 Zombies, which were nightmares in the eyes of ordinary players, were as fragile as paper in front of him.

Almost one spear, one kill.

In less than ten minutes, more than half of the surrounding LV4 Zombies had been cleared.

Su Ze noticed one among them that was a full two and a half meters tall.

Its muscles were knotted, and its skin had a strange grayish-white hue.

Its eyes glowed with an eerie green light, its mouth revealed sharp fangs, and its claws were a full half-meter long.

However, such a powerful-looking big guy...

As it looked at Su Ze, it actually began to retreat.

A light of fear flickered in its eyes.

Su Ze's eyes lit up.

It has intelligence?

It knows how to run for its life?

Then...

The corners of his mouth curled into an arc.

Since it knows how to run, it should also know where it came from, right?

Thinking of this, Su Ze didn't continue the hunt.

He trailed far behind that LV5 Zombie, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Every now and then, he would thrust his spear to frighten it.

Su Ze followed unhurriedly from a distance.

Occasionally, he would kill other zombies passing by.

The copper coin necklace continuously allowed dropped copper coins to be automatically picked up, and the system notification sounds rang out repeatedly.

Su Ze's copper coins count grew rapidly.

During this time, Su Ze also unexpectedly discovered two treasure chests.

He didn't have time to open and check them, so he put them directly into his player inventory.

...

In a certain mysterious place.

Those four mysterious figures watched this scene through a water mirror.

The stunning woman's face became extremely ugly.

"He... he's using the zombie to find the exit?"

"This human... is too smart," the emaciated one said in a shrill voice.

"We can't let him continue," the brawny one spoke in a muffled voice.

"LV5 Zombies already have simple intelligence, so they are unwilling to die and will inevitably flee toward the exit..."

The one with the extremely long tongue said hoarsely, "If we don't stop the LV5 Zombie, he might really be able to follow it to find the exit. But to stop it now, we would have to go down and give orders personally..."

"But if we enter, according to the rules, our strength will be suppressed to LV5. That would be too dangerous."

Hearing this, the stunning woman gritted her teeth.

"We won't go in, but... transfer all the LV5 Zombies there to block the exit."

"Even if we can't kill him, we must stall him! Don't let him return to the Dormitory building so quickly!"

"Furthermore..."

"Prepare an ambush!"
