Chapter 9 Zombie Serum, Superior Weapon: Long Spear - Edge!

Sprinting all the way, Su Ze quickly reached the first floor.

With almost no pause, he charged straight toward the Laboratory Building.

The cold, faint moonlight cast an eerie atmosphere over the campus.

His steps were swift; Su Ze's heart was racing, yet he remained exceptionally calm.

He pushed open the doors of the Laboratory Building, the hinges letting out a piercing "creak" that echoed through the empty hallway.

According to the intel, the serum was in the first laboratory.

Su Ze rushed into the first laboratory without hesitation.

The interior of the lab was a mess, with various experimental vessels scattered on the floor, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of formalin.

At a glance, he spotted the safe mentioned in the intel, standing solitary in a corner.

"Password 547511."

Su Ze muttered to himself, quickly turning the combination dial.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, the safe swung open.

Inside lay a reagent glowing with a faint blue light.

【zombie serum】

【Quality: Refined】

【Effect: Grants immunity to the zombie virus after injection. Duration: Permanent.】

【Description: A miraculous life-saving potion in the apocalypse. With this, you will no longer fear the claws and teeth of zombies.】

Without any hesitation, Su Ze picked up the serum, pulled up his sleeve, and plunged the needle into his arm.

As the cool liquid was injected into his body, a wave of warmth instantly spread throughout him, and his sense of fatigue seemed to dissipate slightly.

【Ding! You have injected the zombie serum and successfully gained immunity to the zombie virus!】

It worked!

The corner of Su Ze's mouth curled up imperceptibly.

Now, even if he was scratched or bitten by a zombie, he didn't have to worry about infection.

He discarded the empty vial carelessly and turned to dash out of the laboratory.

Next target: The Sports Building!

The Sports Building wasn't far from the Laboratory Building, but with the running back and forth plus the time spent searching, every second was exceptionally precious.

Su Ze traversed the campus like a gust of wind, the sound of it whistling in his ears.

The zombies were about to appear!

He rushed into the Sports Building and headed straight for the first-floor Equipment Room.

The last Equipment Room!

He slammed the door open; the room was piled high with various sports equipment that looked as if it had been ravaged and decayed by time.

Basketballs, volleyballs, jump ropes, dumbbells... it was a chaotic mess.

Su Ze's gaze swept quickly, landing on a pile of mops in the furthest corner.

He quickly tossed the mops aside to search.

Suddenly, he felt that the weight of the "mop handle" in his hand was different.

He lifted it to look; it was indeed a long spear gleaming with a cold light.

The shaft was straight, the head was sharp, and the tip emitted a faint, frigid chill.

【Long Spear - Edge】

【Type: Weapon】

【Quality: Refined】

【Level: 1】

【Attack: 30】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Trait: Sharpness (Has a chance to cause a bleeding effect when attacking)】

【Decomposition: Can yield Special Wood *5, Special Alloy *3;】

【Upgrade: Cannot be upgraded / Obtain a higher-level weapon blueprint;】

【Description: A lightweight long spear forged from a Special Alloy.】

With an attack power of 30, this was far higher than his current unarmed Strength of 8 points!

Combined with the Sharpness trait, it was undoubtedly a top-tier weapon for the current stage!

Su Ze grabbed the long spear, the cold sensation transferring from his palm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he began his sprint back.

At this moment, only one minute remained until midnight.

...

On the other side.

Not long after Su Ze had run out of the Dormitory.

The six boys who had just brushed past Su Ze were each carrying various supplies, their faces beaming with excited smiles as they continued toward their Dormitory.

"This trip out was a huge haul! We found three common-grade daggers!"

Chen Nanhao brandished the cold, gleaming dagger in his hand, laughing triumphantly.

"We have weapons too, and I also found three boxes of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water!" Zhang Feng also held up his supplies.

"Haha, we have a little surprise over here—we found a first-aid kit and a pile of wood!" Liu Wenyong said with a smile.

"I have some here too..." Gao Tian and Wang Wei also reported their spoils.

"This is the value of intelligence." Li Xunming, walking at the back, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a hint of cunning on his face.

"Most people see that the campus supermarket is completely empty and the cafeteria's food reserves have collectively vanished, so they naively think there are only the few supplies from the Newbie Gift Pack. They completely didn't expect that supplies would randomly refresh and appear throughout the school."

"Yeah, it's a pity time wasn't quite enough, otherwise we could have found even more supplies."

"However, there are still some people out searching for supplies, but they don't say anything, just making a fortune in silence like us—especially Wang Meng's dorm and that group of Civil Engineering Guys."

"There are still plenty of smart people, but we've seized the initiative, which isn't bad..."

As they walked back to their Dormitory door chatting and laughing, everyone's smiles instantly froze on their faces.

"Holy shit! What... what's going on?!"

Chen Nanhao's smile solidified, replaced by a roar of shock and fury.

The Dormitory door had been destroyed, wood chips were scattered everywhere, and a huge gap was left in the door panel, as if it had been violently smashed by some heavy object.

They rushed into the Dormitory, and the sight before them left them completely dumbfounded.

Yao Qingya was gone!

That plaything they had carefully "kept," that goddess they had spent so much effort to trick into their hands, had actually disappeared!

Not only that, but the three rusty bunk beds in the Dormitory were also gone, leaving only the empty floor.

"Dammit! Who did this?!" Wang Wei roared.

"Where's Yao Qingya?! Where's my goddess?!" Gao Tian's eyes were also red, veins bulging on his forehead.

Li Xunming pushed his glasses; the excited smile on his face had completely vanished, replaced by a fit of annoyance.

He crouched down, carefully inspecting the destroyed door panel and looking at the marks on the floor.

"Stop shouting!" he suddenly spoke up. "It's already happened; anger is useless now!"

The other five looked at him one after another; though annoyed, they restrained themselves slightly.

Li Xunming had always been the most clear-headed one among the six of them.

"Right now, there's less than ten minutes until midnight. Our Dormitory door is destroyed, which means we have no safe shelter tonight!" Li Xunming analyzed, his tone heavy.

"Then... then what do we do? We can't just wait for death in the hallway, can we?" Liu Wenyong's voice trembled.

"Of course we're not waiting for death!"

Chen Nanhao gritted his teeth, his hand tightly gripping the dagger. "We have weapons, what's there to fear from zombies! Find Yao Qingya, and then tear whoever dared to touch our dorm into ten thousand pieces!"

"Not enough time, it'll be hard to find her," Li Xunming shook his head. "Moreover, we don't know the number or strength of the zombies. Facing them blindly is too risky!"

"Then what do you say we do?!" Chen Nanhao said anxiously.

Li Xunming looked around at his teammates, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"The priority is to find a safe Dormitory. Since our door is destroyed, then we'll go and seize a new one!"

He paused, his voice becoming low and cold.

"Anyway, we all have weapons in our hands. Trick a Dormitory into opening their door, then kill the people in that dorm and take their place!"

"Remember, time is tight. Trick acquaintances; the success rate will be higher!"

Hearing his words, the other five were stunned at first, but then, a bloodthirsty light gradually emerged in their eyes!
