Chapter 30 Confession, yet another scheming one?

The sensation of suffocation surged like a tide, instantly shattering all the defenses Su Meier had carefully constructed.

The charm she prided herself on, the schemes she relied on to survive, were as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of absolute power.

Su Meier's cheeks flushed a liver-like purple due to lack of oxygen. Her alluring peach-blossom eyes were now filled with terror and shock. She frantically slapped at Su Ze's arm, only to find that his hand remained as immovable as an iron clamp.

The rumors about Su Ze, those bloody stories she had scoffed at as nonsense in her heart, were now replaying frantically in her mind.

Smashing a roommate to death with an iron block over a disagreement… Stashing away the corpse without batting an eye, claiming it was for rations…

She hadn't believed it before, even thinking it was malicious slander from girls who couldn't win Su Ze's favor. Moreover, she was confident that she could use her charm and tactics to play this inexperienced young man in the palm of her hand.

But now, the terrifying force on her neck and the man's unwavering, pitch-black pupils told her that the rumors were not only true, but perhaps even an understatement! This man was truly capable of killing!

"I… I'll talk… cough cough… I'll talk…"

Su Meier squeezed the words out of her throat with difficulty. Tears streamed down uncontrollably, and she looked utterly wretched.

The strength in Su Ze's hand eased slightly, but he did not let go completely.

"I'll give you one chance."

Su Meier was thrown to the ground. She coughed violently, gasping for air. Her chest heaved dramatically, and her tight-fitting dress appeared disheveled from the struggle just now.

But she dared not hesitate for a moment, nor did she have time to tidy her appearance.

"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" She said with a sobbing tone, spilling everything out at a rapid speed.

"When the game first started, I met Jiang Haiqing and his group. They are all from the Sports College and exercise year-round… I used to tease them often… Naturally, when I saw acquaintances, I begged them to let me join."

"Their team was missing one person at the time, and they couldn't find other high-combat-power free players to join in a short time. After a rough calculation, they realized that even with me, they could still get a four-star gift package, so… so they let me join."

"But… the price was…"

Su Meier's voice grew quieter and quieter, her face filled with humiliation and fear. "The price was… I had to serve all of them…"

At this point, she quickly raised her head and explained urgently, "But they didn't touch me last night! Really! They were on guard against zombies outside all night, and keeping watch for sneak attacks from others, so they didn't have time for me at all!"

"Besides, they… they want to join Wang Meng's alliance!"

Su Ze's brow twitched. Wang Meng. He had an impression of this name; it was the landlord who was the first to brag about his 39 points of comprehensive combat power on the Public Channel and clamored about only accepting tough men.

Seeing that Su Ze seemed interested in this information, Su Meier acted as if she had grabbed a lifeline and spilled everything she knew like beans from a bamboo tube.

"Wang Meng was already the strongest among the sports students. His Dormitory obtained a five-star gift package, so his strength is very high. Before midnight last night, he scavenged quite a lot of supplies in the school!"

"Last night, Jiang Haiqing and his group were privately chatting with Wang Meng, discussing the matter of forming an alliance."

"As soon as it was dawn today, Jiang Haiqing and his group were called away by Wang Meng to scavenge for supplies together. I… I just took this opportunity to run out!"

"I know… once they come back after scavenging enough supplies, I… I'll be in trouble…"

"I'm afraid they might even… give me to Wang Meng's group to… to share…"

By the end, her voice carried a sobbing tone. This time, it was no longer a facade, but fear from the bottom of her heart.

Su Ze listened quietly. This woman, indeed, had more than one trick up her sleeve.

A Dormitory like Jiang Haiqing's, with a Wang Meng involved behind the scenes, and even a Dormitory alliance forming with sports students as the main force. Jiang Yuwan seemed to have mentioned it, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Su Meier saw that Su Ze remained unmoved, and the despair in her heart deepened. She simply hardened her heart and confessed all her little schemes from just now.

"I… I admit, I just saw that you have many supplies here and dare to trade large amounts of weapons, appearing stronger than all of them, so I wanted to… wanted to come over and try, and wanted to incite you all to fight…"

"If you win, I… I only need to serve you alone. Even if I am just one of the women in your Dormitory, it is much better than serving a whole group of them…"

"If you… lose… I can also tell them that I was forced by you…"

"I even planned to tip them off in advance via private chat, saying I was an undercover agent at your place… This way… this way, they might share some of your supplies with me, and my situation might be a little better…"

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she buried her head lower and lower, not daring to look at Su Ze's face.

The corridor was silent. Su Ze's silence was like a great mountain, pressing down on Su Meier until she couldn't breathe. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Suffering was better than dying. She gritted her teeth and pleaded with a sobbing tone.

"I really won't dare to do it again… I won't dare to have any crooked thoughts again… Please, if you don't want to have a conflict with Wang Meng and his group, I will leave now. I promise to stay far away and never appear in front of you again!"

Su Ze looked at her. This woman was indeed smart and indeed vicious, whether towards others or herself. But what he valued more was the Bond effect called 【Treasure Gathering】.

One random supply item daily, with the quality linked to the highest-quality item he possessed. He could not refuse this temptation.

Seeing that Su Ze still didn't speak, Su Meier hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, and continued.

"Or… if you… if you are still willing to take me in… I swear! I will be obedient in the future and only be your woman! Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it. I will never dare to have any other intentions again!"

Su Ze finally reacted. He nodded.

"Then I will give you this chance."

Four words, like music to her ears. Su Meier relaxed completely, slumped on the ground, and felt as if she had come back to life for a second time.

She knew that this path of hers had reached a point of no return. From now on, she had no choice but to join Su Ze's Dormitory.

"Now, send a private message to your landlord." Su Ze's voice carried no emotion. "Tell him you want to quit and join my Dormitory."

"Yes, yes!"

Su Meier dared not hesitate at all. She quickly opened the virtual panel, tremblingly sent a message to Jiang Haiqing, and firmly stated that she wanted to quit and join 4th Floor - 404 - Su Ze (Room Owner).

Just then, from the other end of the corridor, another rustling sound of footsteps came.

A tall, thin boy walked over, poking his head around. He saw Su Ze at the door, his eyes lit up, and he immediately trotted over.

"Boss Su Ze! Boss! I'm here to buy things!"

He saw Su Meier, who was in a state of disarray nearby, and a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes, but he was sensible enough not to ask more.

He took a few pieces of copper material and a common-quality circuit board from his backpack, with a smile plastered on his face.

"Boss, look, I have some rare materials here, I want to trade for some food and water."

Su Ze glanced at them; they were indeed relatively rare items at the moment.

"What do you want to trade for?"

"Hehe, Boss, look, now everyone knows that supplies will refresh, and they are all finding them themselves. If you don't sell the things here… they will be stuck in your hands."

The boy rubbed his hands, trying to haggle. "How about you sell them to me cheaper? Let's make friends, and it'll be easier to cooperate in the future!"

Su Ze looked at him expressionlessly and slowly shook his head. "No price reduction. Ten packs of compressed biscuits or ten bottles of water."

The smile on the boy's face froze. After several more failed attempts to haggle, he finally sighed helplessly and exchanged for the food and water at the original price Su Ze quoted.

The transaction was completed. He smacked his lips with some regret and turned to leave. He had only taken two steps.

"By the way, Zhou Kai…" Su Ze's flat voice came from behind, sounding as if he were calling an old acquaintance.

"Ah? What is it?" Zhou Kai subconsciously turned back and responded.

The next moment, he saw the playful smile on Su Ze's face.

His heart suddenly "thumped." A chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp! His face instantly turned as pale as paper! It's over! He was exposed!
