Chapter 93 Hope? School-wide Announcement—The Slaughter of Ten Thousand Corpses!
Inside the empty auditorium.
As Zhuang Qianhao led his people away, only Wang Meng and his group of burly men were left, staring at each other in bewilderment.
The oppressive atmosphere, instead of lifting after Zhuang Qianhao's departure, became even heavier.
"Brother Meng... we..." Jiang Haiqing approached, his face filled with conflict and resentment.
"Are we just going to let it go? Are we really going to be his dogs?"
Wang Meng didn't speak.
His tall frame stood still, like a silent statue.
Only his clenched fists, emitting the cracking sound of popping knuckles, betrayed his internal turmoil.
Be a dog?
He, Wang Meng, from the very moment the survival game began,
had spent every effort to recruit all the classmates from the sports department and his gym brothers he could contact, forming the most valiant team in this building.
What was it for?
It was to become a superior person!
It was to live the high life!
It was to reign supreme in this damned apocalypse!
But once he accepted Su Ze's conditions, it meant that he, Wang Meng, would forever be beneath Su Ze!
When that time came, where would Wang Meng put his face?
How would the brothers under him look at him?
They followed him not to live the high life, but to work for someone else?
His prestige and his ambition would completely collapse the moment he nodded.
But what if he didn't agree?
Every word of Zhuang Qianhao's analysis pricked his heart like a needle.
Going head-to-head was seeking death.
Without cooperation, Su Ze would leave them further and further behind, until they couldn't even get a sip of soup.
Selling in secret? How much money could that make? And it would easily provoke Su Ze.
This was a fucking dead end!
"Brother Meng, say something!"
"Yeah, Brother Meng, we all listen to you! If you say fight, we'll go all out against him! At worst, we'll all go down together!"
"Fight my ass! How can we fight? He can kill thousands of zombies and survive a zombie tide of tens of thousands unscathed... how do you fight a freak like that?"
The subordinates also split into two factions, arguing anxiously.
Wang Meng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the irritation in his heart.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about flipping the table.
But logic told him it wouldn't work.
They were right; the current Su Ze truly didn't seem to be an existence they could contend with through sheer numbers anymore.
Was he... really going to just accept it?
Wang Meng's gaze swept across the empty auditorium, his mind racing frantically, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.
Suddenly, a term he had ignored for a long time jumped into his mind.
Newbie Gift Pack?
No, it was the Best Potential Dormitory Gift Pack!
Right!
There was still this!
Wang Meng's eyes suddenly lit up with a glimmer of light.
How could he have forgotten this!
When the survival game started, the system had clearly prompted that,
after all dormitories in the Dormitory building were full, the 'Best Potential Dormitory' would be selected based on the total sum of the members' basic combat power.
And it would grant a unique and generous reward!
Wang Meng had invested heavily for the sake of this gift pack!
His own Dormitory, including himself, had six members.
His own basic combat power was 40 points, and the other five were all carefully selected by him, with attributes consistently at 39 points!
With such a luxurious configuration, looking across the entire Dormitory building, who could compare?
Su Ze?
No matter how powerful he was, he was only one person!
The few women in his Dormitory, even if they received benefits from him, how strong could they possibly get?
They were just a bunch of eye candy!
Even if Su Ze used resources to cultivate them, they surely wouldn't improve much!
Furthermore, even if they learned combat-type skill books or equipped weapons and gear, it wouldn't change the value of their basic combat power!
And this gift pack purely looked at that numerical value!
As long as he could get this 'Best Potential Dormitory Gift Pack', the reward would surely be heaven-defying!
When that time came, he might not lack the chance to turn the tables and overtake Su Ze in one fell swoop!
After all, this was the only gift pack among the 9,990 dormitories in the entire building!
He could still place high hopes on it.
Thinking of this, the frustration and resentment in Wang Meng's heart were instantly replaced by a surge of fiery expectation.
The only thing he was currently unsure of was when this gift pack would be distributed.
"How many people are in Su Ze's Dormitory now?" Wang Meng suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Haiqing beside him.
Jiang Haiqing was stunned for a moment, then a look of jealousy appeared on his face.
"Four, it's still those four."
"Jiang Yuwan, Yao Qingya, Liu Qiaofei, and that supermarket proprietress Su Meier."
He paused, as if remembering something, and added sourly.
"Oh right, I heard someone say that Qiao Yunge seems to be preparing to move in as well."
"The news was released by people from Qiao Yunge's own Dormitory. It seems someone wanted to steal their supplies, so they proactively spoke out, probably wanting to use Su Ze's reputation as a shield. It's said that Qiao Yunge will officially join as early as tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
Wang Meng's face instantly lit up with joy!
Four, plus Qiao Yunge, makes five!
He felt his chance had come!
As soon as Qiao Yunge moved in, Su Ze's Dormitory would have five tenants.
The Dormitory would be full!
Could the combat power of one Su Ze and five women... compare to his side with six burly men, all at 39 points of basic combat power?
Su Ze alone should purely be strong because of his equipment; it's unlikely he's freakish to that extent himself, right?
In that case, as long as he waited until all dormitories were full, that heaven-defying gift pack would very likely be in his grasp!
Wang Meng's mind instantly became active.
He was already one step behind Zhuang Qianhao. Even if he agreed to Su Ze right now, he could only follow behind Zhuang Qianhao and eat his dust.
If Su Ze wanted to promote someone in the future, he would certainly prioritize Zhuang Qianhao, the first one to show loyalty.
Since that was the case, why not... wait one more day?
Just one day!
Once he got the 'Best Potential Dormitory Gift Pack' and held a trump card, he would then negotiate terms with Su Ze...
At that time, it wasn't certain who would be working for whom!
At the very least, they could stand on equal footing, right?
"Brother Meng, what's the word?" Jiang Haiqing couldn't help but ask again, seeing his expression shifting.
A sharp light flashed in Wang Meng's eyes as he made up his mind.
He straightened his back, regaining a bit of his former dominance, and announced in a deep voice to everyone.
"No rush."
"We will wait for one day first."
"Tell Su Ze that we need one day to consider!"
Although the others were puzzled, seeing Wang Meng regain his confidence, they all breathed a sigh of relief and responded in unison.
However, just as a smug curve appeared on the corner of Wang Meng's mouth, thinking he had found the hope for a comeback,
A cold, grand, and emotionless mechanical notification sound
exploded without warning in the minds of all survivors in the entire Dormitory building!
[Ding! Congratulations to player 'Su Ze' for being the first to cumulatively slay ten thousand zombies! Obtained unique achievement: Ten Thousand Zombie Slayer!]
[Repeat, congratulations to player 'Su Ze' for being the first to cumulatively slay ten thousand zombies! Obtained unique achievement: Ten Thousand Zombie Slayer!]
