Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 51
The names of these few people, including their roommates, dimmed almost instantly.
"They died almost instantly!" Xu Ruyan gasped in shock.
...
"They died so quickly!" Xu Lang was also monitoring their movements. Seeing the rhythm at which their names dimmed, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
"What died so quickly?" Cao Yaxuan asked, confused.
The three women had also been paying attention to these people in the chat room.
After all, if they managed to come upstairs, they might appear on the surveillance screens.
In non-combat states, everyone had their turrets' automatic attack modes turned off. Otherwise, they might accidentally harm passersby, which would not only create enemies but also waste bullets.
But if those people had malicious intentions, they would need to immediately activate attack mode.
After hearing Xu Lang's explanation, the three women suddenly understood, feeling like they had learned another trick.
Wang Yazhi felt an even greater sense of urgency. The pressure Xu Lang gave her was too strong—it seemed like he knew everything. This kind of person unconsciously pressured those around them.
Especially someone like her with relatively strong self-esteem.
Wang Yazhi took a deep breath and said, "I'll practice my sword for a while. If anything happens, let me know."
Tong Qi covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Wang, we're all in the same dorm. If there's any information, you'll definitely know about it."
Hearing this, Wang Yazhi's ears turned red, and she hurried to practice her sword to the side.
Of course, she couldn't practice intensely now—she was just familiarizing herself with the routine moves. Otherwise, it would waste too much stamina.
As the game difficulty increased, players had to calculate more things, with stamina being an important factor.
Seeing Wang Yazhi working so diligently, Xu Lang also closed his eyes and began meditating.
Suddenly, Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi felt restless and uneasy.
"You two are working too hard!"
Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan exchanged glances.
Tong Qi said, "I'll watch the surveillance!"
Cao Yaxuan said, "I'll monitor the chat room!"
"Sister Wang and Xu Lang are both working so hard. I can't fall behind either."
Tong Qi's belief was firm.
"Even Tong Qi is working so hard now! Damn it, I originally wanted to drink tea and eat some cookies!"
Cao Yaxuan secretly grumbled to herself.
Noticing that the atmosphere among the three had suddenly become serious, Wang Yazhi paused her movements, then began practicing her sword with even more diligence.
The four of them were like perpetual motion machines, constantly pushing each other to work harder.
...
After who knows how long, Xu Lang opened his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Hasn't this round ended yet?"
"Ninth floor players are holding things up." Cao Yaxuan immediately replied.
She had been watching the surveillance and was the most informed.
"So that's it." Xu Lang understood.
Ninth floor players probably lacked powerful attack methods, making it difficult for them to kill zombies.
In the past, players from other floors could help in such situations, but now that the corridors were blocked by big monsters, other players were helpless.
White mist billowed in the corridors, and no one knew what was happening inside.
Unless there was truly a Floor Leader who could rally an entire floor of people, then they might actually be able to explore the corridors.
After some more time, the dormitory broadcast finally came.
[Dormitory Broadcast: The second round has ended. Everyone has three minutes of rest time. After three minutes, ghost officials will patrol. Players should cooperate with the ghost officials' investigation.]
Rest time had been compressed to just three minutes!
This was definitely related to the ninth floor's delay in clearing the game.
At this moment, people in the chat room were verbally attacking the ninth floor players.
[40 Zhao Shuang: Ninth floor, what are you doing?!]
[85 Ou Chen: This is disgusting, delaying everyone's rest time]
[171 Li Li: What nonsense are you talking? The longer we delay, the longer your rest time becomes, right?]
[125 Lin Wen: Are you idiots? Look how many people are left on your ninth floor! The monsters will just run to other floors!]
[171 Li Li: You didn't help at all, and you have the nerve to say that! In the end, Sister Xu had to climb down the wall to help, otherwise it would have taken even longer!]
[181 Li Yu: @Xu Ruyan, So it was Sister Xu who stepped in, no wonder I saw Sister Xu's points increase at the end!]
People in the chat room were arguing noisily.
Three minutes passed quickly.
No one had much time to think.
Xu Lang was in the same situation.
Ghost officials?
What exactly were those? They sounded quite unusual.
"Lang Ge, the white mist has disappeared!" Tong Qi shouted.
"Hmm." Xu Lang stared at the surveillance screen, quietly waiting for the monsters to appear.
However, after waiting for a long time, no monsters appeared.
The corridor was quiet and peaceful, everything as usual.
"Lang Ge, some players have died! They're from the fourth floor!" Tong Qi reported.
Xu Lang was stunned and quickly pulled up the chat room.
...
Fourth floor.
A two-meter-tall monster wearing black official robes walked out of a dorm room, dragging three corpses with the hook and chain in its hand.
The player in the neighboring room 77 saw this through the peephole and almost screamed.
[Ghost Official]
[Type: Ghost]
[Level: 10]
[Skills: ???]
[Introduction: Ghost officials who capture vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts. They hate people who lie.]
Holy shit!
How could there be a level 10 monster!
This room 77 player was also an experienced player and had never heard of such severe "clipping" occurring in the game.
In this emergency, the room 77 player used the chat room's built-in function to take a photo and posted it to the chat room.
He didn't have time to care about what discussions it might cause afterward, instead pressing his ear against the door.
Because after the ghost official passed his room, it went to the neighboring room.
Next, he heard this sentence.
"Open the door, ghost official inspection."
Immediately, this player's heart tightened.
Not long ago, he had heard this same sentence. The three players next door didn't respond, and then their door was broken through. Now their corpses were hanging from the hook.
"Okay, Ghost Official sir, we'll open the door right away!"
"Have you seen any evil ghosts or vengeful spirits recently?"
"Yes, yes we have!"
"Where?"
"They were killed by us!"
"How dare you lie! You weak mortals could never be a match for vengeful spirits!"
Immediately after, the players' screams rang out. The noisy commotion lasted only about ten seconds before quieting down.
The names of four players dimmed!
And they were four experienced players!
The room 77 player's scalp tingled with fear. He quickly turned around and made a shushing gesture to his teammates, then posted this experience in the chat room.
He recounted everything truthfully without any concealment, hoping only that other players could analyze more information from it!
Because he truly saw the possibility of an entire floor being wiped out by this monster!
