Dorm Duo Survival: What Did You Do to the School Beauty?

Compared to Lin Yuan's relaxed approach to dealing with the zombies, the other players were in for a world of hurt and suffered greatly...

Seeing that there were no problems with his dormitory, Lin Yuan opened the forum to take a look.

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh again.

As he expected, the forum was filled with groans, with players complaining that the zombies were too difficult to deal with tonight, and that they were suffering every night!

[Holy crap! What are these zombies?! My submachine gun isn't doing much damage to them at all, they're practically invincible! If they don't die soon, they're going to kill me!]

[What the hell?! Why did they suddenly increase the difficulty so drastically?! They've got zombies that even machine guns can't kill! How are we supposed to deal with these monsters?! I've seen bullets get stuck on the zombies; isn't this just killing us players?!]

[This is outrageous! Why are there zombies that aren't afraid of guns?! This is clearly designed to kill us players! We've only been in the game for a few days, and we've mostly relied on the guns we've acquired to attack. Now you're telling me they're not very useful? Are you treating us like innocent victims?]

[This is too hard, too hard! My teammates and I barely managed to take down the first wave of zombies with just a bundle of explosives, and now even more are coming. What are we going to do? Am I really going to die at the hands of zombies? I can't accept dying such a humiliating death!]

This is outrageous! I just want to know if any players can easily deal with zombies! Are these monsters even capable of handling us right now? Our best weapon is a gun, but it can't kill them at all, it can only inflict some damage!

[I feel like a lot of players are going to die tonight... I thought that once I got the guns, I could relax and at least hold my own against monster attacks... But who knew we'd encounter zombies that aren't afraid of bullets! It's so unfair!]

[Help! Our dorm is about to collapse! We've used up all our last reserves of explosives, we're completely out of ammunition and supplies, we're going to die!]

[This damn game! What level of skill do I need to truly escape this suffocating struggle between life and death?! I've had enough of this torture every single day, I'm going crazy!]

【...】

The entire forum was filled with players wailing, all complaining about the appearance of the zombie monsters. They said the zombies were far too powerful for ordinary players like them, and they couldn't handle them at all, and their lives were in danger!

These monsters, which are not afraid of ordinary gun bullets, are truly a nightmare for most players!

If the previous nights' survival challenges were on hard mode, then tonight's zombie night was truly a nightmare...

The reason is simple: the zombies' physical strength, which makes them immune to ordinary gun bullets, has completely baffled all the players. They never expected to encounter such a monster!

In fact, let alone other ordinary players, even An Xin was worried after learning about the characteristics of zombies, fearing that his automatic turrets would not be able to deal with them.

Even someone as resourceful and knowledgeable as Anxin is showing this concern, let alone ordinary players. Their complaints are perfectly reasonable and normal...

Ultimately, the players' most powerful attack methods have become ineffective. Even bullets cannot harm the zombies, leaving the players with no means of attack and putting them in a completely passive position.

In that case, how can it not be considered a nightmare...?

Lin Yuan looked at the groans and lamentations on the forum, with some players even leaving their farewell messages. He couldn't help but shake his head. This game really wasn't willing to let its players off the hook even for a day...

He had actually anticipated the desperate fate of the other players long ago, the moment he learned that zombies were not afraid of gun bullets.

He had foreseen some things.

This is not something that is difficult to think of.

Lin Yuan knew that most players in the game nowadays relied on their firearms as their most powerful means of attack!

For ordinary people, having a gun in hand means they feel less panicked; this is a common understanding among almost all humankind.

Once you get your hands on a gun, your sense of security is off the charts. No matter what kind of weird thing it is, just fire a few shots to test it out. If that doesn't work, then get a few more magazines!

People have absolute trust and worship in firearms, which are so powerful, believing that as long as the firepower is strong enough, everything can be destroyed.

And that's indeed the case. As long as the power is sufficient, it can indeed resolve a large portion of crises. For example, the automatic turret in Lin Yuan's dormitory is so powerful only because it's equipped with explosive bullets...

The frustrating thing is that players can't get such powerful weapons!

Most of them only had ordinary firearms and bullets, and they didn't even have much explosives.

The players are in a very awkward situation right now—having just gone through several Survival Gates, those who have survived to this day have more or less acquired some ordinary firearms in the world of Survival Gates, which can be considered as having a means of attacking and protecting themselves.

Having a gun in hand made the players extremely happy. Everyone was very excited, believing that they now had the ability to resist all kinds of monsters and dangers in the game. From now on, they would no longer have to live in fear and could establish themselves in the game, or even continue to grow stronger.

But just when everyone was feeling triumphant, the game delivered a devastating blow to the players.

Zombie Night has arrived!

The players' nightmare has arrived!

Zombies... seem to be specifically designed to counter players...

Its appearance immediately drove all players to the brink of despair!

There's no way around it; given the physical characteristics of zombies, firearms can't inflict fatal damage, which is equivalent to completely eliminating players' strongest means of attack!

How could this situation not drive players to despair? Their mental support was useless; they couldn't deal with the attacking zombies. The fear and despair were indescribable. It was a miracle they weren't scared to death!

Aside from players with special items or exceptional talents, most others will likely fare poorly against the zombies and can only pray that the zombie night ends soon...

Otherwise, too many people wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow!

......

"Sigh, these players are really quite pitiful!"

Anxin, who was standing nearby, was also reading the forum posts. She couldn't help but sigh and sigh with a hint of pity in her voice.

In her opinion, tonight's zombie night was like a countermeasure specifically designed to suppress players; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that most players' attack methods were rendered ineffective?

Is a gun that can't damage incoming zombies even a gun? It's just a useless stick!

Just thinking about it makes Anxin understand the despair in the hearts of the other players...

If, in such a dangerous situation, her most powerful and relied-upon abilities and methods become completely ineffective, then she too will be utterly desperate.

Every person is in the same situation, facing the same despair...

"Yeah, she is quite pitiful."

Hearing An Xin's words, Lin Yuan nodded in response, then his tone turned serious as he spoke:

"However, their experience serves as a stark warning to us: in this perilous gaming world, we must always strive to improve and do everything possible to become stronger."

"We must never face a day when we're too weak to keep up with the game's intensity, forced to resign ourselves to our fate in despair, without even a decent means of resistance..."

Lin Yuan still possessed a very strong sense of crisis. Even though his strength was now on a completely different level from the other players—those monsters that instilled despair in them didn't even have the right to approach their dormitory—he remained vigilant, not thinking he could rest easy forever...

He remained vigilant, determined to do everything in his power to gain the opportunity to become stronger, so as not to fall behind the ever-increasing difficulty of the game world!

Lin Yuan knew that, as a player, the final enemy he might face was the game itself...

If that moment really comes, can he really use his overwhelming strength to break free from swimming and escape this struggle for survival?

Lin Yuan had actually been thinking about this question for a long time, so he couldn't stop his pace of becoming stronger. He had to achieve true freedom through absolute power!

"Yes, Lin Yuan, you're right. We absolutely cannot end up like those players struggling against the zombies!"

An Xin's pretty face was full of seriousness as she nodded in deep agreement and said:

"If one day all my abilities disappear, and I become like a normal player when I first entered the game, and then I have to face incredibly powerful monsters, I'll definitely die of despair!"

"Just thinking about that situation is despairing; I absolutely do not want to experience that agonizing sense of helplessness!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, An Xin immediately realized that the players were now in a desperate situation. Although the zombie monsters were too strong, it was also because the players themselves were not strong enough.

After all, the intensity of the game each day is unpredictable, and everyone can only desperately improve their strength in order to adapt to and resist the unknown dangers that come their way!

If one is strong enough, one will not fall into such a desperate situation. Even if one cannot easily cope, one can at least barely survive the danger and not lose one's life directly...

If players acquire a powerful item, such as a firearm, and think they can be carefree and never have to risk their lives again, relying solely on their weapon to handle all dangers, then they deserve to die!

This kind of thinking is just asking for trouble!

Anxin firmly resolved in her heart that she would never have such thoughts again!

"Haha, no need to be so serious. Just remember what happened to those players and always remind yourself not to end up like them..."

Lin Yuan chuckled and spoke.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely remember." Anxin nodded seriously, with an expression that showed she would never forget.

She wasn't just saying it; she really took it to heart...

Lin Yuan smiled and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he turned to look down the corridor.

Anxin's expression froze for a moment, then she looked over as well.

At this moment, the automatic turrets had stopped firing, and the second wave of even more zombies had been completely wiped out. The result was the same: not a single zombie survived; they were all reduced to mangled remains scattered all over the corridor!

As the smoke from the explosion slowly dissipated, the situation in the corridor became clear.

Everywhere were pieces of zombie flesh and blood from blasted zombies. There were so many that they covered the entire corridor floor, making it look extremely creepy.

At that moment, amidst the greenish-blue bits of flesh scattered on the ground, a sound rang out.

Click, click!

In the corridor, the remains of a zombie were slowly pushed aside, as if something was about to break through the ground. The situation looked extremely strange. This was clearly a corridor with a concrete floor, so how could something be crawling out of the hard concrete floor?

Lin Yuan stared intently at the spot where the strange noise was occurring. He had noticed the noise earlier, which was why his expression had changed.

He wanted to see what was going on.

In just a few seconds, the thing that had broken through the ground finally revealed its true form.

Under Lin Yuan's reassuring gaze, a huge, blood-red coffin slowly rose from the pile of zombie flesh!

The bright red on the coffin was eerily vivid, as if it had been splashed with blood, making it incredibly strange.

"This is?"

An Xin stared wide-eyed at Lin Yuan, looking somewhat bewildered.

Lin Yuan frowned. What a strange situation! This coffin wasn't attacked by the automatic turret!

Keep in mind that the coffin was located in the corridor, right in the midst of an attack by automated turrets!

But the automatic turrets just wouldn't attack!

This situation puzzled Lin Yuan. Was the coffin not a threat? Or would things only change once the thing inside the coffin came out?

Lin Yuan looked up at the automatic turret on the dormitory door, but it still didn't seem to be about to launch an attack.

"Lin Yuan, what's with this coffin? Do you think it could be the high-level zombie mentioned in the game? The one that drops rewards when you kill it?"

An Xin suddenly realized something, as if she remembered something, and tugged at Lin Yuan's arm, speaking with a somewhat excited expression.

"High-level zombies?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up...
