Chapter 8 [Text] Bond Activated, Three Pieces of Information!
Time is tight, finish this quickly.
Five minutes later,
In the darkness, the creaking of the bed frame gradually subsided, and the faint sounds of heavy breathing slowly calmed.
In Su Ze's mind, the crisp and pleasant notification sound rang out once more.
[Ding! Bond successfully activated!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the exclusive bond effect—'Literature': Receive 1-3 pieces of random intel daily!]
[Ding! Obtained 3 pieces of intel for today!]
Hearing the notification, Su Ze stopped messing with her. Although he was lustful, he still had a brain; he needed to save his stamina to deal with tonight's zombies.
He slowly stood up, gently avoiding Yao Qingya's slightly trembling body.
He hadn't used too much force, even controlling himself carefully to avoid breaking the already rickety iron bed.
If it really broke, it couldn't even be decomposed, which would be more loss than gain.
Yao Qingya lay on the bed, her body curled up, her cheeks burning hot.
She was somewhat dazed, yet also somewhat relieved.
She thought Su Ze was showing her pity, which was why he was so gentle and restrained.
This complex emotion caused ripples in her heart.
Su Ze didn't pay attention to her thoughts. While getting dressed, he used his landlord authority in his mind to pull up Yao Qingya's personal information.
[Player: Yao Qingya]
[Dormitory: 4th Floor - Room 404 (tenant)]
[Personal Attributes: Health 4, Strength 3, Intelligence 8, Stamina 3, Spirit 6, Speed 3]
[Skills: None]
[Basic Combat Power: 27]
[Equipment: None]
[Inventory: None (0/3)]
[Currency: copper coins 0, Silver Coins 0, Gold Coins 0]
[Evaluation: A frail and talented woman from the Literature Department.]
Her basic Combat Power was 27, one point lower than Jiang Yuwan's 28.
With both strength and stamina at only 3, she was indeed quite weak.
But an intelligence of 8 was quite outstanding among ordinary people.
Normally, a landlord would require a person to reveal their attribute panel before letting them join,
but since Su Ze didn't care about his tenants' Combat Power, he skipped this step.
At this moment, Jiang Yuwan's voice came from the corner, carrying a hint of resentment: "Done so soon? Can you untie me now?"
Only then did Su Ze remember that Jiang Yuwan was still tied up.
He flipped the switch, and the Dormitory instantly lit up.
Jiang Yuwan's cheeks were flushed, and her cold expression now held a touch of awkwardness.
At the same time, she felt a sense of realization.
No wonder he dared to do such a thing at this critical moment; it turns out he's so fast...
He must have 'taken off' by himself too many times!
Suddenly remembering that she had also helped Su Ze 'take off' once today, her cheeks instantly burned.
Su Ze walked over to Jiang Yuwan and untied the ropes for her.
Jiang Yuwan moved her wrists and rubbed the reddened skin. Her lips moved, but in the end, she said nothing.
Yao Qingya was even more flushed with shame; her gaze dodged, not daring to meet Jiang Yuwan's eyes.
She quickly got dressed and stood by the bed, at a loss for what to do, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
The atmosphere in the Dormitory became subtle and awkward after the lights came on.
Ignoring the atmosphere, he checked the three pieces of intel he had just received.
He clicked on the first piece of intel.
"[First Piece of Intel: Information on the first night's zombies is as follows:]"
"[Monster: Zombie]"
"[Race: Corpse Clan]"
"[Level: Lv.1]"
"[Health: 3]"
"[Strength: 3]"
"[Intelligence: 0]"
"[Stamina: ∞ (Infinite)]"
"[Spirit: 0]"
"[Speed: 3]"
"[Talent: Zombie Virus]"
"[Skills: None]"
"[Description: Although very weak, being scratched or bitten can be fatal!]"
Su Ze quickly scanned the zombie's attributes, gaining a general understanding.
This type of zombie had extremely weak individual combat capability.
But in large numbers, combined with that lethal virus talent, they were still a catastrophe for ordinary people without weapons.
Especially that infinite stamina, which meant they could pursue relentlessly without tiring.
He continued reading the intel.
[Second Piece of Intel: In the farthest corner of the equipment room next to the first-floor public restroom of the school's Sports Building, an Excellent-quality spear-type weapon is mixed in with a pile of mops.]
Su Ze's gaze narrowed.
An Excellent-quality weapon!
And it was a spear-type weapon, which meant its attack range and piercing power would be very strong,
It would provide a huge boost for dealing with zombies tonight, and even for fighting other players.
However, there were only ten minutes left until midnight.
Going from the fourth floor of the Dormitory to the Sports Building and back...
The time was sufficient, but there might be unforeseen complications...
What if something delayed him and he encountered a large group of zombies surrounding him on his way back?
Su Ze hesitated and decided to read the third piece of intel first.
[Third Piece of Intel: Inside the safe of the first laboratory in the Laboratory Building, there is a zombie serum that can make a person immune to the zombie virus. The password is 547511]
Su Ze's breathing suddenly quickened.
He stared at the intel on the screen, his mind racing.
zombie serum, virus immunity—this meant his confidence in surviving tonight and for a long time in the future would increase significantly.
An Excellent-quality spear was also a sharp tool to directly boost Combat Power and fight against zombie swarms.
These two items were exactly what was most urgently needed right now.
He quickly glanced at the time: less than ten minutes left until midnight!
Time was tight; there was no room for hesitation.
"I'm going out for a bit!"
Su Ze stood up abruptly and, without waiting for Jiang Yuwan and Yao Qingya's reactions, rushed straight for the Dormitory door.
"Wait! It's too dangerous to go out now!"
Jiang Yuwan was startled by his sudden move and, ignoring her physical discomfort, shouted urgently.
Yao Qingya also stood up from the bedside, her face full of worry: "Junior Su Ze, the zombies are about to come out!"
Su Ze's footsteps didn't falter for a second. Without looking back, he threw out a sentence: "No time to explain!"
"Bang!"
He pushed open the upgraded wooden door and pulled it shut behind him with force, letting out a dull thud.
Inside the Dormitory, the two women looked at each other.
Jiang Yuwan struggled to stand up, but found her legs were still a bit weak, so she could only lean against the wall.
Yao Qingya endured the pain and ran to the door, anxiously peering out through the peephole.
The hallway was empty; where was Su Ze?
Su Ze rushed out of the Dormitory door and sprinted toward the stairs with all his might.
His Combat Power was now 38. Even though his strength attribute had improved, facing an unknown swarm of zombies was still a near-certain death sentence.
But with the immunity serum and an Excellent-quality weapon, the situation would be entirely different.
Just as he ran out of the Dormitory building, he brushed past six unfamiliar boys.
They were carrying supplies they had scavenged from outside. Seeing Su Ze running in the opposite direction, they all showed surprised or even somewhat gloating expressions.
"Hey! Look at that, that kid actually dares to run outside!"
"What guts! Doesn't he know it's almost twelve o'clock?"
"Who cares about him? Let's get back to the Dormitory quickly so we don't get dragged down by that kid!"
Su Ze ignored them and brushed past like a gust of wind.
He was very fast. The Burst brought by his strength attribute had increased his speed significantly in a short time, and he soon disappeared from their sight.
"Holy crap, that kid is pretty fast. Is he in a hurry to get reincarnated?"
"Maybe he's some poor soul who couldn't find a Dormitory and is making a final struggle."
"Tsk tsk, how pathetic. Not like us; we found so many supplies, and we can even have some fun with Campus Belle Yao when we get back. Pure bliss~"
