You'll become a god, you'll create Earth ONLINE

[Lv.4 Berserk Mutant Rat (Elite Monster)]

HP: 150/150

[Characteristics: Bleeding from Bite, Berserk Charge.]

[Note: These are the elite among ordinary mutant rats; having tasted human flesh, they have become even more cunning and deadly.]

"Three Lv.4 elite monsters." Su Hao stepped back and pressed himself against the wall, his voice low and terrifying.

"hiss--"

Zhao Lei and Chen Fei both gasped in shock.

They had just killed level 2 ordinary rats with only 50 HP each. Now, suddenly three elite monsters with 150 HP each have appeared, and they even have bleed and charge abilities!

"What else is inside?"

The fat man couldn't help but lean over and peek inside.

The fat man was stunned at that glance.

"Holy crap! That's... isn't that Lin Chacha, the most beautiful girl in our department from the class next door?!"

The fat man's voice suddenly rose eight octaves; if Chen Fei hadn't covered his mouth, the monster inside probably would have heard it.

"Lin Chacha? What's she doing here in our boys' dormitory in the middle of the night?"

Chen Fei was also shocked.

Lin Chacha and the others all know about it.

This girl is pure and adorable, and she speaks with a sickeningly sweet voice, calling guys "brother" so often that it melts their bones.

He's quite famous in our boys' dormitory.

"I guess he sneaked over in the middle of the night to meet some unlucky guy, but he just happened to run into the system and got trapped here."

Zhao Lei sneered and analyzed the situation realistically.

"What are we waiting for! Let's save them!"

Suddenly, Fatty Wang got excited, his sense of justice overflowing, and he reached out to push the door open.

"This is a golden opportunity for us heroes to save the damsel in distress, guys! If we save her, we'll be able to walk all over school like headless chickens!"

"You fucking come back here!"

Su Hao grabbed the fat man by the back of his collar and roughly slammed him against the wall.

Su Hao's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at the fat man's face and said, word by word.

"Are you out of your mind? Are you trying to become a saint?"

"Fourth Brother, that's a living, breathing person..."

The fat man was frightened by Su Hao's gaze and weakly retorted.

"Living people? Aren't there already enough people who have died in this building?"

Su Hao snorted coldly

Open your eyes wide and look carefully! There are three Lv.4 elite monsters inside! They have high HP and defense, and they can charge!

"With our tattered gear, if we just charge in, forget about rescuing anyone; all four of us will probably die with her!"

Su Hao's rational, even cold-blooded, words were like a bucket of ice water poured directly over the fat man's head.

Zhao Lei and Chen Fei also fell silent.

Yes.

In the apocalypse, whose life doesn't matter? Recklessly throwing your life away just to show off is something you only see in wish-fulfillment novels; in reality, those kinds of people die the fastest.

"Then... then we're just going to abandon it? Give up the mission?"

Chen Fei swallowed hard, feeling somewhat unwilling.

"Who said we were abandoning the mission?"

Su Hao glanced at the fire axe in his hand, which was glowing with an eerie green light, and a calm, cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"We are players."

"Players only care about monsters, experience, and dropped equipment."

"The woman inside is just bait for us. If rescuing her would risk total annihilation, I'd rather turn around and leave now."

"But if it's just to kill those three elite monsters and incidentally complete Grandpa Wang's quest to get purple gear..."

Su Hao narrowed his eyes and turned to look at his three brothers behind him.

"Then this deal is worth doing."

The cruel logic of the players was vividly displayed by Su Hao at this moment.

They're not here to be saviors; they're here to raid and get gear. Saving people is just a side effect.

"That makes sense!"

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up

"Fourth brother, you're quick-witted. How do we fight this? A direct confrontation is definitely not an option. The corridor is too narrow; if they charge, we won't have anywhere to hide."

"There's no need for a brute-force fight."

Su Hao peeked into the laundry room floor, where laundry detergent had been spilled everywhere because the washing machine had been knocked over, making it slippery to walk on.

"Make use of the terrain."

Su Hao quickly lowered his voice and began to deploy tactics.

"See the laundry detergent on the ground? That's a natural speed bump. No matter how strong the elite monster is, it can't sprint on the ice."

"Boss, when the door opens, don't rush in. Just stay here in the doorway. You're our only tank. Your job isn't to deal damage, it's to hold the door shut and prevent them from rushing out."

"Third brother, you and I stand on opposite sides outside the door. Whenever the monster is blocked by the eldest and peeks out, we'll focus fire on the one in front and take it down quickly."

"Fatty!"

Su Hao turned and stared at Fatty Wang.

"Here! Fourth Brother, tell me, who should I smash?"

The fat man quickly raised the poor, rusty pair of pliers in his hand.

"You don't need to smash anything. In a bit, take a flashlight, turn the beam to maximum, and shine it directly into the eyes of those three rats! Cockroaches are afraid of light, and so are rats. Blind them!"

"clear!"

Tactical arrangements are complete.

Simple but practical. That's the wisdom of a poor gamer.

"Get ready."

Su Hao took a deep breath and gripped the handle of the fire axe tightly with both hands.

Zhao Lei stood in the center of the doorway, his hands gripping the broken broom handle tightly, bracing himself for the impact.

Chen Fei held the fruit knife, his eyes focused.

"Fatty, turn on the light!"

"Snapped!"

A blinding beam of light burst forth from the dim flashlight in the fat man's hand, shooting directly into the dark laundry room through the crack in the door.

"squeak--!!!"

The sudden burst of bright light instantly stung the eyes of the three elite mice that were besieging the washing machine.

They let out a piercing scream, and their frantic movements instantly froze.

Lin Chacha, who had been huddled on the washing machine, was also blinded by the bright light and closed her eyes.

She instinctively thought it was the school security guard coming to rescue her, and screamed shrilly.

"Help! Security guard, help me! There's a big rat here!"

The sharp, piercing squeal of the clip was nothing short of mental pollution in the enclosed laundry room.

"Shut up!"

Su Hao, standing outside the door, shouted impatiently.

"Do you want to attract all the monsters in the building?! If you yell again, we're leaving you here to feed the rats!"

Su Hao's shout was cold and showed no mercy whatsoever.

Lin Chacha trembled with fright, covered her mouth in grievance, and tears streamed down her face, but she really dared not make a sound anymore.

Meanwhile, the three elite rats that had been stimulated by the bright light had completely shifted their hatred.

Their scarlet compound eyes were filled with brutal killing intent. They abandoned Lin Chacha on the washing machine and turned to stare intently at the strong light source at the door.

"Squeak!"

The lead elite rat suddenly used its hind legs to unleash the [Berserk Charge] skill, charging towards the gate like a black cannonball!

"Here we come! Boss, hold on!" Su Hao roared.

"Stop right there!"
