[A dungeon that can be opened is detected.]
[Please wait, system checking for opening qualifications.]
[Insufficient people detected near the entrance, the dungeon cannot be entered.[
[Please gather at least five members within 120 minutes. There should be at least one Level 4 player in the team.]
[Gamer's Tip: The dungeon can only be opened once a day. The times are refreshed after 0:00. Please gather all the members before others enter the dungeon.]
System prompts popped up one after another. Just like in the previous life, the dungeon here still requires at least five people to enter.
The number of times the dungeon can be entered per day is 1. Not that everyone can enter once a day, but the dungeon is only open once. If someone else enters, even if the team that enters does not successfully clear the dungeon, Damian can only wait for the next day.
For a long time in his previous life, Damian lived near the dungeon, built a small stronghold, took the dungeon as his own, and used the potions exploded in it to exchange for a lot of resources.
In the end, the dungeon was given away, not because the potion was no longer valuable, but because his behavior of occupying the dungeon aroused public outrage, and he was eventually beaten away under the leadership of the hero.
This was also the first confrontation between Damian and Arthur in his previous life.
From Arthur's point of view, when he first arrived in a strange new city, he saw people getting bullied by bad men, so he united with others to defeat local gangsters and gained everyone's respect and a large amount of resources. It was really a cool heroic story.
Thinking of this, Damian felt angry again.
He didn't know if it was because he died too easily in his past life, that every time he encountered something related to that young boy named Arthur, he couldn't control his emotions. This was quite fatal in the apocalypse.
'Control Majnu control.'
Damian barely suppressed the anger in his heart. The top priority now was to find someone to open the dungeon as soon as possible.
The sooner he got the resistance potion, the sooner he could go to other places to search for resources.
'If I could find a good set of equipment, I might be able to go to that manor.' Damian thought, remembering a certain opportunity of the hero.
"Let's search around and find some bait again.'
In this life, he is no longer planning to occupy the dungeon and use the potions in it to exchange for resources.
After all, the resources that can be exchanged for potions are only some silver equipment, and gold level equipment is rarely seen.
Plus equipment rewards for clearing this dungeon will not exceed level 8 at most, so it is not worth staying.
If he goes out for a walk, he might trigger some memory or a rumor about some high-level treasure chest, that'll be much more useful.
A piece of sub-legendary equipment is worth more than a dozen pieces of gold-level ones.
Damian stopped wasting time, chopped down the few zombies on the street, and walked into the nearby large office building to see if he could find any survivors.
The first floor of the office building is not a lobby, but a lounge and consulting room. The elevator at the end has a list of signs indicating which company is on which floor. While Damian was observing, several zombies with blood on their faces pounced on him. Without even changing his expression, Damian directly slashed his sword horizontally and then sidestepped.
The lower parts of the three zombies instantly fell down, and two seconds later, their upper bodies slowly slid down under the influence of inertia.
In the next moment, Damian suddenly disappeared. His agility was five times that of an ordinary person, and coupled with his physique improved by the hunter's leather armor, he could use his agility to the fullest.
But inside this closed space, this sudden burst of speed gives people the illusion that he disappeared in an instant.
A few seconds later, Damian appeared in front of the stairwell door on the left. Behind him, a heads of more than a dozen zombies fell down, leaving the corpses that stood stunned for a few seconds, and then fell with a bang.
Two orbs of gray-white light emerged from the corpse. Damian walked into the stairwell without even looking.
The quality of the gift card can be seen from the color of the emitting light. The gray-white light is the lowest quality. It contains basically a bag of bread, a bottle of mineral water, a bag of snacks, and a few steamed buns.
Damian's game inventory is almost full, and there is no extra space to put this garbage. (He already has a dozen similar orbs lol.)
[Note - in case u missed, the system game inventory can only hold items gotten in dungeons or zombie hunt orbs. – The number of orbs a player can hold increases along with his level. – same type/grade/gift orbs cannot be superimposed.]
Before going upstairs, Damian first went to the storage room below.
'Storage rooms are always a place where newbs build a shelter. There should be someone hiding there.'
Damian split open the iron door of the storage room with a slash, revealing several panicked faces inside. Two men and two women. 'Just what I needed.'
"you you..." The man raised his hand tremblingly, stumbling like "yo_u_uuu…"
Damian was too lazy to talk nonsense or give explanations, so he just grabbed the man's arm and pushed it back hard, until he heard a click sound.
The man's arm twisted in the opposite direction, and a burst of pain rushed to his brain, instinctively eliciting a scream.
"Aaaarggghhhhgggggghhh"
Before the dude could even cry his heart out, Damian quickly destroyed his limbs. The remaining three people woke up from their shock, they wanted to run, but the idiots learned storage rooms only have one exit, and that route was blocked by Damian.
(See why damian thinks only noobs would choose this kind of place. Cuz for experienced survivors, the first thing to look for when finding a shelter is multiple escape routes.)
"Go die. I'll _ I'll kill youuuuuu." Another man's inner courage was inspired by the dilemma of having no way out, but it was of no use.
Damian destroyed the man who rushed towards him, just like he had destroyed the man before..
For the remaining two women, he showed no mercy at all, being the Messiah who preaches equality, he neatly destroyed their limbs too.
(Such a nice guy me mc is. Tch tch tch najar naa lag jaye use in kamine readers kii.)
After chopping every bait in pieces, Damian put the sword back into the scabbard behind his back.
He held the ankles of the two women in his left and right hands, and dragged them step by step to the dungeon.
He threw them to the door of the dungeon like throwing cargo goods, and then returned to the store. The remaining two men were transported in the same way. (Equality babyyy)
As soon as 5 living humans were sensed near the entrance together, system pops started popping up again.
[It has been detected that the number of people who match the opening requirement has been detected. Please reply if you want to enter the dungeon.]
"Enter."
[Dungeon - Trapped survivors in the Office Building.]
[Please kill three hundred zombies in the office building within six hours.]
[Testing the challenger's comprehensive strength.]
[Scanning completed, the level of zombies has increased. The highest level of zombies in the building is: Level 8 (mutant).]
Thanks to Damian's high level and Winter's wrath's high quality, the zombies in the dungeon have been collectively strengthened, with the highest level being a level 8 mutated zombie.
This is how most dungeons work in apocalypse. Their difficulty varying upon who's entering to clear it.
The zombies in the dungeon will be upgraded according to the overall strength of the challenger's team. It is 100% impossible to pass the level alone, and cooperation between the teams is required.
But there's no need to be scared by the level 8 mutants. There are only two zombies of this level in the whole building, and they are all on the top floor. Sitting silent like a final boss.
Apart from these two, the number of lower-level zombies, such as level 6 and level 7 zombies, is also small.
There will be a lot of zombies, but the level of most zombies will not exceed the highest level in the team.
"I can clean up level 7 zombies as long as I get space to move and dodge, but level 8 , ___ umm, that's gotta be a tough one." Damian said while assessing his strength. "Especially 2 of them, if I focus on killing one, and the other takes the chance to sneak attack and infect me, _ man that's too much risk."
The dungeon zombies neither give experience points, nor do they drop any equipment orbs. Unless a player can clear the dungeon whole, he won't get anything. So there is really no reward to challenge high level beasts.
Since Damian was in no mood to lose his life, fighting a losing battle a second time, then the most important thing is how to bypass the last two level 8 mutants and still clear the dungeon, when there are only 300 zombies in the building.
The solution to this seemingly unsolvable problem is surprisingly simple. Just a bit of a word play.
The game mission requirements only stated that the players need to kill three hundred zombies in the office building, but it never specified which three hundred…
Since the original requirement of 300 zombies cannot be reached without two Level 8 zombies, why not just create a few zombies by ourselves.
As this thought came to his mind, Damian's lips couldn't help but curl up in a smile.
(Such a bad villain he was. How did he ever even think he was actually a protagonist in past life.)
Damian turned around and pierced the bodies of his 'teammates' with the blade stained with zombie blood.
A minute later, the four of them stood up unsteadily on their knees, eyes blackened, injuries rotten, and veins poppin.
The sword flashed, making a zzrrr sound in the empty space as it ripped the air. _swishhh_
[Zombies killed : 004/300.]
"Just as I guessed."
And this my friend is how a proper villain enters and clears the dungeon.
