Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 :The Loner

After a few seconds, there was still no response from inside.

Chen Bei summoned up his courage and twisted the door lock.

The door opened directly, making a creaking sound.

He opened the door and took a look inside.

The room was small and empty at a glance, and there was no one at all.

The furnishings inside were similar to those in Chen Bei's room.

There was only a bed, a bedside table, and it was foggy outside the window.

It seemed that not every dormitory had players in it, and there were empty ones.

Chen Bei walked in and pulled open the drawer of the bedside table.

Since he was here to collect resources, of course he had to check it carefully.

He really found something.

Inside the drawer, there was a roll of adhesive tape and a parts box.

Could these things be useful?

Chen Bei was a bit doubtful. He picked up the things inside to have a look and then put them back on the table.

In that management group, someone noticed Chen Bei's actions.

[This player named Zero Degree has found important upgrade resources and unexpectedly put them back.]

[Our game doesn't have a detailed novice tutorial, and all players are confused at the beginning.]

[These are all key materials for upgrading the dormitory! Especially the door of the dormitory, which is the first line of defense against zombies!]

Chen Bei peeked at the screen and saw these chat messages.

So these resources were so important!

They could also be used to upgrade the dormitory!

Chen Bei immediately took the adhesive tape and the parts box back into his hands and put them into his pocket.

Keep exploring!

Chen Bei walked out of the dormitory and came to the door of the next room.

Dong, dong, dong...

Chen Bei still knocked on the door first. He couldn't rush in if there was someone inside.

There was no movement inside. It seemed to be an empty room again.

Chen Bei opened the door and went in. In the corner of the room were placed a broom, a trash can and the standard bedside table.

"Could it be that even the broom is useful? Can it be used to fight zombies?" Chen Bei muttered to himself.

He walked over and pulled open the drawer of the bedside table.

There were adhesive tape and parts boxes again.

The parts box was rather heavy, and it was filled with items such as screws, gears and springs.

Chen Bei put the things away and was about to leave when he turned back.

His pockets were already full and couldn't hold any more things. The trash can happened to be useful for carrying things.

He put the resources he had just collected into the trash can.

As for the broom, he had a sudden inspiration and thought of a way to use it.

He placed the broom obliquely between the bed and the floor to form an angle, then lifted his leg and stomped hard on the upper part.

Crack!

The wooden broom handle was broken into two pieces, and the broken part was very sharp.

It could barely be regarded as a weapon.

Primitive people fought with things like this.

Chen Bei held it in his hand and somehow felt a bit more secure.

[Obtained inferior weapon 'Self-made wood splinter', with an attack power of 2.]

A prompt popped up.

"It's actually counted as a weapon. It's called a wooden splinter. Why not call it an Emei Piercer?" Chen Bei complained in his heart.

Now, he was holding the wooden splinter in his left hand and carrying the trash can in his right hand.

Since he was left-handed, he held the weapon in his left hand.

Chen Bei walked out.

There were other people appearing in the corridor. It was a man who came out of another room.

The man was tall and burly, with a fierce look on his face and well-developed muscles all over his body. He looked like someone not to be trifled with.

Chen Bei was busy collecting supplies. He just took a quick glance at this muscular man and then left in a hurry.

This left the muscular man rather confused.

One after another, some people summoned up their courage and walked out of their rooms. Everyone was wearing a uniform.

It was blue with white stripes, and the style was like prison uniforms.

Several people gathered together and communicated face to face.

After chatting, they realized that everyone had been brought here in a daze.

Some people were still walking on the street one second, and the next second they were here.

When there were more people, they became bolder.

"The numbers on the doors all start with 8. We're probably on the eighth floor. Let's just go down directly!"

"Yeah, there are so many of us. What are we doing staying here stupidly? Let's get out first and then figure out a way to call the police."

"What's wrong with that guy? He's so strange. He's carrying a trash can and rummaging around in every room."

Several people were discussing here and noticed Chen Bei's abnormal behavior.

Only Chen Bei was looking for things everywhere, minding his own business and completely not fitting in with the group.

A sharp contrast was formed between the two sides.

"I saw him busy with something just now."

"He knocked on the doors of every room. He even knocked on my door and gave me a big fright."

"Hehe, I guess he wants to take some things home before leaving."

"He looks so weird, like a lunatic. Just ignore him."

There were already five of them, which was a large enough number.

The group of people began to look for a way to go downstairs.

Before leaving, someone shouted at Chen Bei:

"Hey, buddy! We're going downstairs together to look for the exit. Are you coming with us or not?"

"No."

Chen Bei refused very straightforwardly.

The reason was simple. With the power of this game, it was impossible to leave such a big loophole.

The game venue must be closed.

Could they just go downstairs, open the door and go home?

Impossible!

This attitude of refusal further aroused people's dislike.

"Fine if you don't want to come. We were just being kind, but you don't appreciate it. You can just stay here and pick up trash by yourself!"

"Let's go, let's go. Don't pay attention to this lunatic."

"I said just now not to take him with us. There are enough of us already. We don't need him. Maybe we'll meet other people on the way."

These five people set off.

They found the elevator, but it was out of order. There was no response even when they pressed the button.

So they could only take the stairs.

There were relevant chat messages about these people in the management group.

[Some people have started to go downstairs.]

[Their reactions will surely be quite interesting when they see the corpses on the stairs.]

[Going downstairs is also a dead end. There's no way out at all.]

Chen Bei took a quick look at the management group and then continued with his own business.

By contrast, the information in the management group was of higher value. So Chen Bei paid more attention to the developments in the management group and seldom bothered to see what was said in the player group.

Chen Bei searched everywhere. Soon, he filled the trash can and then took it back to his own room and dumped everything onto the bed in the room.

[This Zero Degree has entered the game state early. I'm quite optimistic about him.]

[The game needs some outstanding players so that wonderful effects can be presented.]

[He uses a trash can to carry things back and forth, which is too inefficient. It will be much more convenient when he finds the dimensional backpack in Room 827.]

Dimensional backpack?

Chen Bei's eyes lit up when he saw the chat content.

He didn't know if it was the kind of dimensional backpack he understood.

If it was, that would be amazing.

Chen Bei couldn't just go and get the dimensional backpack directly. That would be too obvious and might be noticed by the administrator.

Once it was discovered that a player had sneaked into the management group, the consequences would be unimaginable!

This was Chen Bei's biggest reliance and must not be lost!

So he had to put on an act.

First, he pretended to be normal and went to look for things in other rooms, and then naturally approached Room 827.

When he got there, he calmly twisted the doorknob and opened the door.

He took a look inside and was startled.

On the floor of the room, there were two bloody corpses lying there!
