Chapter 84 Mutant Zombies, the New Goddess An Lan!

Su Ze stepped onto the stairs of the Eighth Floor.

What met his eyes was a scene of utter chaos.

The entire corridor was packed with zombies, all surging frantically in one direction, their target being Dormitory 811 at the other end.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!"

Deafening thuds and frenzied roars echoed throughout the entire floor.

A dense mass of zombies blocked the entrance of Dormitory 811 almost completely.

Most of the zombies were still the slow-moving, ordinary kind.

But mixed among them were dozens of zombies whose movements were noticeably more agile; they ran and collided with an aggressiveness far exceeding their peers.

Lv.2 Zombie.

Su Ze's gaze finally settled on seven special zombies closest to the main door.

One type was gaunt and bony, with limbs as thin and long as bamboo poles.

Sharp nails clawed relentlessly at the alloy door, their speed so fast they almost left afterimages.

Every attack left behind a string of piercing screeches and shallow white marks.

Swift Type, two in number.

The other type was the complete opposite, with bodies as sturdy as bulls and knotted muscles.

Every hammer-like blow caused the Level 4 alloy door to let out a dull thud; the clear dents on the door panel were obviously their handiwork.

Brute Force Type, five in number.

Interesting.

Su Ze did not immediately use the "Strange Language" Bond.

According to the hidden mechanics of the game rules.

Dormitories that took in extra players would become priority targets for zombies; the more they took in, the higher the aggro.

Dormitory 811 was packed with eighteen people, making it like the brightest lighthouse in the dark, drawing all the zombies' attention.

With a flick of his wrist, his long spear moved like a dragon as he swaggered into the flank of the zombie horde.

"Puchi!"

The tip of the spear accurately pierced the skull of an ordinary zombie, drawing out a spurt of black blood.

[Obtained copper coins *2!]

[Obtained copper coins *2!]

...

Without pausing, his figure moved along the periphery of the horde; every time he thrust his spear, several ordinary zombies were bound to fall.

[Obtained copper coins *2!]

[Obtained copper coins *2!]

...

Soon, he had cleared away the ordinary zombies on the periphery.

Next, he aimed his targets at those more agile and stronger Lv.2 Zombies.

"Puchi!"

The long spear pierced through the chest of a Lv.2 Zombie; it struggled for a moment before becoming completely still.

Six copper coins dropped, immediately turning into streaks of light and flying into his body.

[Obtained copper coins *6!]

The returns are indeed higher.

Su Ze raised an eyebrow, having made his calculations.

Throughout the process, these zombies didn't even spare him a glance.

Their only goal was to smash open that door and feast on the humans inside.

However, just as Su Ze's figure approached the core of the horde, less than ten meters from those four Mutants.

A sudden change occurred!

"Roar—!"

The Swift Type that was frantically scratching at the door suddenly paused, its crimson eyes snapping toward Su Ze!

Almost simultaneously, that Brute Force Type also stopped bashing the door.

Its burly body turned around, a pair of pupil-less eyes locking firmly onto Su Ze.

In the next second, the two Swift Types moved!

They lowered their bodies at the same time, their limbs kicking off the ground as their entire bodies shot toward Su Ze like two cannonballs!

So fast!

This speed already exceeded that of most ordinary adult males!

Su Ze's pupils constricted slightly, but his reaction was even faster.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, and the long spear in his hand thrust upward fiercely at a tricky angle!

"Puchi—!"

The tip of the spear pierced with extreme precision through the Swift Type's jaw, skewering the entire head of the first one!

Then with a sudden horizontal sweep, the sharp spear tip tore the head of the other Swift Type in mid-air clean open!

copper coins clattered to the ground as the copper coin necklace's effect continued, and twenty streaks of light flashed into Su Ze's body in an instant.

[Obtained copper coins *20!]

[Obtained copper coins *20!]

At the same time, the Brute Force Type also took heavy strides, letting out a world-shaking roar as it charged toward Su Ze!

"Heh—"

At that moment, Su Ze tried using the Strange Language Bond.

The charging Brute Force Type's massive body suddenly stiffened, stopping in its tracks.

It tilted its head, a hint of human-like confusion appearing in its crimson eyes.

It seemed to be wondering why this food had suddenly turned into one of its own kind.

After a moment, it seemed unable to figure out the problem.

It turned its head back and resumed hitting the door of Dormitory 811, one blow at a time.

Seeing this, Su Ze understood.

These Mutants already had some rudimentary judgment.

But their IQ was still pitiful.

His "Strange Language" Bond was still effective against them.

That's enough.

He no longer hesitated, approached, and thrust his long spear fiercely into the back of its head!

"Puchi!"

[Obtained copper coins *20!]

[Obtained copper coins *20!]

...

One of them dropped a pitch-black claw-like item on the ground in addition to the copper coins.

Su Ze raised an eyebrow and picked it up.

[zombie claws]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Description: Sharp claws from a Mutant zombie; perhaps a manufacturing material for some item.]

He didn't know exactly what kind of material it was for yet, so he just put it away.

He put away the material.

Su Ze glanced at the hundreds of zombies still tirelessly causing destruction at the door.

He took a deep breath and his figure merged into the zombie horde once again.

For the next hour, the corridor on the Eighth Floor completely turned into a flesh-and-blood mill.

Every swing of the long spear brought about a rain of blood and gore.

Su Ze was like an untiring killing machine, efficiently and precisely harvesting every life.

When the last zombie turned into gray light, the entire corridor finally returned to a deathly silence.

In the air, only the thick, inseparable smell of blood and Su Ze's slightly hurried breathing remained.

[Currency: 59,626 copper coins, 0 silver coins, 0 gold coins]

He glanced at his currency balance and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he walked to that pitted but still sturdy door of Dormitory 811.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Open up, they're all dead."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly carried into the Dormitory.

...

Inside the door, there was total silence.

The door was pulled open a crack, and Xu Feng's face, a mix of awe and joy, peered out.

When he saw the scene of the empty corridor with only Su Ze standing there holding his spear, his entire being froze.

Although he had been mentally prepared, seeing this scene with his own eyes still shocked him beyond measure.

You have to know, today's zombies were more than a level stronger than yesterday's!

Yet in front of this man, they were still like clay chickens and pottery dogs.

"God... God Su..." Xu Feng's voice was dry and raspy.

The door was pulled wide open, and the dozen or so people inside the Dormitory all looked at Su Ze with eyes like they were looking at a deity, not daring even to breathe loudly.

Su Ze ignored them, his gaze sweeping past Xu Feng into the Dormitory.

The room was packed with people, and the air was foul.

His gaze quickly swept across one tense and terrified face after another.

Finally, it settled on a girl in the corner.

The girl was wearing oversized sportswear and had messy short hair.

A pair of black-rimmed glasses that could cover half her face sat on the bridge of her nose; she was looking down, silently wiping a dagger.

Her face was still dirty, appearing somewhat ordinary or even a bit slovenly.

Just as Su Ze was wondering if there were no goddess-level figures here that met the system's standards...

However, the moment Su Ze's gaze fell upon her.

In his mind, the system's notification tone suddenly rang out!

[Ding! A goddess meeting the binding conditions has been detected!]
