Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

"So few? This wardrobe is quite big."

Looking at the five pieces of wood in his backpack, Lin Yu muttered to himself, "So this game system actually takes a cut after all."

However, he had no choice, since this was one of the few ways to obtain materials at present.

Afterwards, Lin Yu continued working.

Remove the bed boards from the three bunk beds in the room and you will get 6 pieces of wood.

Next came the metal bunk beds. These could also be disassembled, but they were sturdier than wooden ones. It took Lin Yu half an hour to disassemble all three bunk beds.

[Iron Material +6]

Then all that was left was that rectangular table.

Lin Yu stepped forward, intending to smash it all, but then he discovered that the table actually had a name on it.

[Worktable]

Lin Yu immediately braked and went to check.

-

Level 1 worktable

Effect: Can create/disassemble/repair items.

Current blueprints: [Sledgehammer] [Iron Axe] [Spear]

Upgrade requirements: 5 wood, 5 iron, 5 stone

-

"Luckily they packed up quickly. I thought the worktable was in the other room, but it turns out it's here too. This is too ordinary."

Lin Yu quickly put the worktable into his backpack. The worktable was a large item, taking up two backpack compartments.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then pulled down the curtains in the room and stuffed them into his backpack before returning to his own room.

He first placed the worktable in the corner of the house, then opened the apartment control panel and selected to upgrade the wooden door.

According to the intelligence we just received, the most important thing to upgrade on the first day is the wooden door, because a level 1 wooden door is not enough to stop zombies.

[Consumes 5 units of wood; upgrades a level 1 wooden door to a level 2 wooden door.]

Lin Yu glanced at the level 2 wooden door. Its appearance hadn't changed much, but its durability had increased to 50 and its defense to 2. It still didn't look very good.

Lin Yu glanced again at the materials needed to upgrade to level three.

Level 3 Wooden Door: 20 Wood

That's a bit outrageous; the required amount of wood has been increased to 20.

Fortunately, this condition doesn't seem particularly difficult at the moment.

After successfully upgrading the wooden door, Lin Yu emptied his backpack, leaving all the materials and the curtain inside the room, taking only food and weapons with him, before heading out again.

There are only two hours of daylight, so we can't waste them; we need to collect more food and materials.

It took Lin Yu half an hour to clear out the room next to his own, but there was much less stuff in this room. Lin Yu only collected 5 pieces of wood, 4 pieces of iron, and a pack of braised beef instant noodles.

This is a good thing; it provides carbohydrates, fat, and salt. Unfortunately, Lin Yu can't boil water yet, so he can only eat it dry.

After cleaning the rooms on both sides, Lin Yu planned to clean the room opposite. However, just as he stepped forward to knock on the door, a door not far from him suddenly opened, and a strong, burly, and menacing middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing, bro?"

Upon seeing Lin Yu wielding a large hammer, the man asked with a strange expression.

"Um... gathering supplies."

Lin Yu took two steps back, facing the man directly, and spoke.

"You actually believe in this nonsense?"

The man was clearly speechless.

"Do you believe it to be true?"

Lin Yu was busy collecting supplies and didn't say much to the man. Instead, he knocked on the door and, after confirming that no one was home, prepared to open it and go inside.

"Take a look at that group chat. Someone's calling everyone down to discuss countermeasures. Do you want to go together?"

Seeing Lin Yu's urgency, the man quickly asked.

To be honest, he's a little scared now, so having someone to go with is a good thing.

"No need."

Lin Yu waved his hand and then closed the door.

The man was a bit older and clearly didn't understand the thoughts of a young man like Lin Yu, so he shook his head and walked in the other direction.

Meanwhile, in the rooms on each floor, more and more people came out of their rooms and headed towards the same place. As more and more people came out, they seemed less panicked. After all, humans are social creatures, and when a group of people gather together, they tend to be a little bolder.

Soon, nearly thirty people gathered on the fifth floor of the apartment building.

According to some people's exploration, the apartment building has a total of ten floors, and these so-called "players" were assigned to each floor with ten people on each floor.

"Why are there so few people? Didn't the chat channel show a hundred people?"

Among the group, the middle-aged man with a large belly, who was at the head of the group, frowned and asked a question.

"Those who haven't come yet seem to be a bunch of lunatics. They actually believed this ridiculous claim about the game and are wandering around looking for something."

Several people nearby offered to explain to him.

"This is outrageous! How can anyone believe such an obvious lie?"

The man frowned, his tone quite serious.

"Forget about those lunatics, let's see if we can get out of here."

"Yeah, yeah, they're a bunch of lunatics. They're probably obsessed with novels and games."

"Ignore them."

……

Lin Yu ignored the others and didn't look at the chat channel. After all, he only had two hours during the day, and he couldn't afford to waste them. He could check these things at night.

He quickly finished cleaning both rooms.

The total harvest includes 12 pieces of wood, 6 pieces of iron, one [Wooden Shield] blueprint, two Snickers bars, a small flashlight, and two batteries.

It seems that, apart from the first room searched, the amount of basic resources in the other rooms has been greatly reduced.

He currently has a total of 23 wood and 16 iron in his possession.

He guessed that he might have to break down walls to get the stones, but he had tried it and found that breaking down walls was very slow. He estimated that it would take nearly half an hour to break down one wall, which would be enough time for him to clear out a room, so he did not collect them for the time being.

He planned to wait until he had collected enough wood and iron to upgrade the wooden door to level three before collecting stone to upgrade the room.

After collecting everything, Lin Yu returned to his dormitory and locked the door.

Since he didn't have a watch or anything to keep track of the time, Lin Yu could only estimate it. It had probably taken him almost two hours to clear the four rooms, so he decided not to take any more risks.

Although he possessed a powerful weapon like a pistol, he still didn't know the scale or strength of the zombies that would appear that night.

He wouldn't be afraid if there were only a few or a dozen, but if there were too many, or if the zombies in the game weren't the slow-moving, sluggish type like in The Walking Dead, then it would be too easy to mess things up.

Therefore, he planned to observe for one night before making a decision.

Back in his dormitory, Lin Yu didn't hesitate and immediately upgraded the level 2 wooden door to level 3.

[Consumes 20 wood to upgrade a level 2 wooden door to a level 3 wooden door.]

Durability is increased to 100, and defense is increased to 5. The requirement for upgrading from level 3 to level 4 is 50 pieces of wood.

"I wonder how many levels this wooden door has."

Lin Yu shook his head, then returned to his bed and opened the chat channel.
