Chapter 74 One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.
As Su Ze's voice fell, a strange silence descended upon the entire tenth-floor corridor.
Everyone looked like they had been hit with a pause button, staring at him blankly.
One person?
Is enough?
Did he know how many zombies were crammed into this corridor?
There were at least over a thousand!
"God... God Su..."
The excited player from before spoke stutteringly, his smile looking worse than a cry. "You... you're not joking, right? This... this isn't something to mess around with."
"Yeah! Boss Su Ze! We know you're strong, but there are just too many of them!"
Another player hurriedly advised, "How about waiting for your throwing squad? We're not in a hurry, we can wait!"
They were truly afraid.
Afraid that Su Ze would try to be a hero and die here.
Then their tenth floor would truly be without hope!
"Hmph, showing off."
Qiao Yunfeng stood behind the crowd, arms crossed, and couldn't help but let out a low, cold snort.
He admitted this man was strong, ridiculously strong.
But no matter how strong he was, he was still just one person.
One person facing over a thousand zombies?
This wasn't strength; this was arrogance, seeking death!
"Su Ze! Don't do anything reckless!"
Qiao Yunge also grew anxious, stepping forward quickly, her pretty face full of tension.
Her bright eyes stared intently at Su Ze, her tone urgent.
"I know you're powerful, but there are too many! You don't need to take this risk! We can wait! Or we can help!"
Although she had seen Su Ze move freely through the midnight zombie tide with her own eyes.
But now, it was about "clearing."
It was about going head-to-head and killing all one thousand-plus zombies!
These were two completely different concepts!
Su Ze just shook his head calmly without explaining.
He turned around, facing the surging darkness deep in the corridor.
Under everyone's uncertain and suspicious gaze, he moved.
Without any earth-shattering aura, he simply took a step, and the long spear in his hand turned into a bolt of black lightning, thrusting out instantly!
"Pfft!"
A soft thud.
At the very front of the corridor, the head of the zombie closest to him was accurately pierced.
The zombie didn't even have time to let out a roar before its body fell backward stiffly.
copper coins turned into streams of light and flew into Su Ze.
[+2 copper coins]
In Su Ze's mind, a notification sound flashed past.
The fallen zombie was like a knocked-over domino.
"Bang!"
Its heavy body slammed into another dormant zombie behind it.
"Roar—!"
The disturbed zombie snapped its crimson eyes open and let out a piercing roar!
This roar was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves!
"Roar!"
"Heh heh heh—"
In an instant, the entire corridor seemed to come alive!
Over a thousand dormant zombies woke up one after another within a few short seconds!
Their crimson eyes lit up in unison, instantly locking onto the living being at the end of the corridor—Su Ze.
And the dozen or so players behind him who were already scared witless.
"It's over!"
"Run! Run quickly!"
"Damn it! He woke up all the zombies!"
"They're all awake! They're all awake! We're dead meat!"
The dozen or so people behind Su Ze were instantly scared out of their wits!
They screamed and wailed, turning around to flee toward the stairwell!
Qiao Yunfeng's face turned pale in an instant. He subconsciously grabbed his sister and roared, "Sis! Let's go!"
Qiao Yunge, however, seemed to be nailed to the spot, unmoving.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed intently on the front.
She saw Su Ze facing the tide-like surge of over a thousand zombies without a trace of panic on his face.
He simply held his long spear across his front, his body sinking slightly into a simple starting stance.
Then, he moved.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The spear struck like a dragon!
His movements were completely invisible; only shadows of the spear could be seen flickering wildly at the forefront of the zombie tide!
Every time a spear shadow flashed, the head of one or even several zombies would inevitably burst open!
Stinking black blood splattered everywhere!
Those frenzied zombies were like they had crashed into an invisible wall!
They hissed and roared, frantically squeezing and lunging forward!
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through the defensive line constructed by one man and one spear!
He stood there, one man, one spear, forcefully blocking the entire corridor!
One man holding the pass, ten thousand cannot break through!
Those players who had just been crying and preparing to flee all stopped in their tracks.
Their mouths hung open, eyes wide as copper bells, staring blankly at this scene beyond imagination.
"I... Holy shit..."
A player subconsciously cursed, his voice trembling.
"My... God..." another player murmured in a daze, his weapon falling to the ground with a clang.
"Film... quickly film this..."
Someone in the crowd said in a trembling voice.
Someone immediately reacted, hurriedly bringing up their virtual panel to record this scene.
Qiao Yunfeng stood there blankly, his hand gripping his sister's subconsciously loosening.
Time passed, second by second.
Zombies surged forward incessantly and fell one after another.
Su Ze's movements maintained an incredible efficiency and stability from start to finish.
It was as if he wasn't engaged in a life-and-death struggle, but rather repeating a tedious action on an assembly line.
Qiao Yunfeng watched blankly.
At this moment, the hatred and hostility in his mind over his sister being taken away...
...were shattered into pieces in the face of this inhuman scene.
And Qiao Yunge, her beautiful eyes that were always full of vitality.
They didn't blink for a second, flickering with a strange radiance.
As a physical education major, she understood better than anyone...
...that the strength, speed, and endurance Su Ze was displaying now had completely exceeded the human realm.
That composure, that power, that invincible posture before the zombie tide...
A mysterious thought, one she hadn't even noticed herself, quietly rose in her heart.
It seemed...
...being his tenant, being his woman, wasn't such a bad thing?
And Su Ze was completely unaware of this.
He only knew that the copper coin necklace on his chest was emitting a slight warmth.
[+2 copper coins]
[+2 copper coins]
[+2 copper coins]
...
The notification sounds in his mind had already turned into a golden waterfall.
About an hour later.
When the head of the last zombie was pierced by the spear tip and fell to the ground, dissipating into points of light.
The entire tenth-floor corridor fell into a deathly silence once again.
In the air, only Su Ze's rapid breathing remained.
He put away his long spear and leaned against the wall, fine beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Behind him, the dozen or so players were still like statues, unmoving.
Su Ze ignored them.
He swiped open his virtual panel and posted a message on the Public Channel.
[4-404-Su Ze (landlord): The 10th-floor corridor has been cleared. All surviving Dormitories on the 10th floor, please pay an additional service fee of 2 copper coins during any trading period today.]
[Supplement: If there are still unpaid Dormitories after the deadline, that floor will no longer be able to enjoy any cleaning services starting tomorrow...]
