At first, Chen Bei thought he had encountered zombies again.
But when he took a closer look, it turned out to be human players, not zombies.
And they were familiar faces.
It was that guy whose game name was Bai Xiaopang.
This young man was fair and chubby and looked really kind, just like the boy holding a carp in the New Year picture had grown up.
Bai Xiaopang also saw Chen Bei and was overjoyed.
"Haha, big shot! We meet again! The first time we met, we didn't know each other well, but now that we meet again, we're friends."
Bai Xiaopang turned around and beckoned to three other people. They should have teamed up temporarily for mutual support.
Chen Bei walked up and asked, "It's already dark. What are you guys wandering around here for?"
"We were planning to go upstairs back to the dormitory. When we heard noises here, we came to take a look and happened to see you. This is fate." Bai Xiaopang said with a smile.
"I'm planning to go back. Wish you a long life. I'm leaving now."
"Big shot, you're going upstairs and we're going upstairs too. Why don't we just go together? It's safer with more people."
"I'm not interested in being your bodyguard."
Chen Bei refused to go with them and quickened his pace to go up the stairs.
This Bai Xiaopang was thick-skinned. Although he was rejected, he still asked his companions to follow Chen Bei.
Chen Bei looked back, frowned slightly and shouted, "Don't follow too closely. If you dare to get too close, don't blame me for being rude!"
One should always be on guard against others.
Chen Bei was worried that these people might attack him from behind.
Bai Xiaopang understood and held back his companions, keeping a certain distance from Chen Bei.
"Big shot, don't worry. We're just following behind. We don't mean anything else. With you leading the way ahead, it's safer to go upstairs." Bai Xiaopang said with an apologetic smile.
Chen Bei wasn't a murderer and couldn't do much about these people, so he just let them follow behind.
The group of people walked upstairs floor by floor.
The third floor.
The fourth floor.
When they reached the fifth floor, two of them left because their dormitories were on this floor and they were going back to hide in their rooms.
As they continued to go up, there were abnormal noises from above.
A zombie wobbled down the stairs.
The lights overhead were flickering on and off, illuminating the zombie time and time again.
Seeing the zombie coming downstairs, Bai Xiaopang and the other follower were so scared that they took a few steps back and each tightened their grip on their weapons.
After the scavenging during the day, players basically had weapons, even if it was just a chair leg.
It wasn't very convenient to fight on the stairs as there wasn't enough space to move around.
Chen Bei resolutely charged forward, holding the wooden shield in front of him. While rushing upstairs, he knocked the zombie into the corner of the stairs.
At least this was a platform.
Chen Bei caught up and started to deal with the zombie.
The palms with long fingernails hit the wooden shield again and again.
The wooden shield had already been in a dilapidated state before. After being hit a few times, it cracked with a snap!
All items had durability. Once the durability dropped to zero, they would be damaged.
Chen Bei was slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly adjusted his fighting method and launched a fierce attack forward.
Triple Strike!
The Chainsaw of the Madman hit the zombie's head three times. With each attack, the sharp blade would embed itself into the skull.
During this process, the zombie's attack also injured Chen Bei. It tore his sleeves and clothes, leaving bloody wounds.
Finally, the zombie fell down.
Chen Bei cursed under his breath. This battle was a bit messy and he got hurt.
Seeing that Chen Bei was injured, Bai Xiaopang said gloomily, "Big shot, you were scratched by the zombie. Won't you turn into a zombie too?"
Chen Bei ignored him. Instead, he leaned against the wall, took out the healing medicine, opened the bottle and poured it into his mouth.
It was liquid medicine inside, and the taste after entering the mouth was simply disgusting, with the smell of pungent chemicals.
Chen Bei didn't expect it to taste so bad that he almost spat it out.
"What a strange taste! It's even worse than traditional Chinese medicine!"
Chen Bei looked pained but swallowed it with great effort. Then he took half a bottle of energy drink to rinse his mouth.
His health points went up and he felt much better. The pain from the wounds was not so intense anymore. The effect of the medicine was immediate.
The zombie's attack also had a bleeding effect.
Every few seconds, Chen Bei's health points would decrease by one.
So he had to take out a roll of bandage and wrap it around his arm.
[The bleeding state has been eliminated. The current physical state is healthy.]
"Really can't afford to get injured. The cost of getting hurt once is too high. Had to drink medicine and put on bandages."
Chen Bei relied on his own resources and recovered to a fairly good state.
Bai Xiaopang and the other person witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
A big shot is a big shot. There are so many things available on him. If an ordinary player were so seriously injured, they would be doomed.
They continued to go upstairs and reached the seventh floor.
Another person left.
In the end, only Bai Xiaopang was left. He lived on the ninth floor.
When they reached the eighth floor, Chen Bei didn't go any further.
"Big shot, could you give me a lift for the rest of the way? My dormitory is just upstairs. Please. I picked up two materials on the road before. I can use them as the fare." Bai Xiaopang pleaded.
Chen Bei had a cold face and stared at him.
"If you rely on others everywhere, you won't survive long in this game. Better rely on yourself."
After saying that, Chen Bei left directly.
Bai Xiaopang was left standing there, looking disgruntled. Having no choice, he had to go upstairs by himself.
In the corridor on the eighth floor, a zombie was wandering around, sniffing everywhere with its nose, looking for prey.
The location of the zombie happened to be near Room 838.
It's Cao Qingqing's room!
The zombie smelled something and suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Room 838 and waving its claws to launch an attack.
These claws were as hard as metal, making the wooden door creak loudly and sawdust flying everywhere.
Cao Qingqing inside the room was so frightened that she screamed and quickly sent a message to Chen Bei for help.
[Where on earth have you been? Come back quickly! The zombie is attacking my door!]
Fortunately for Cao Qingqing, Chen Bei had just come back.
Chen Bei crouched down and started to sprint, speeding up step by step.
The metal on the soles of his shoes rubbed against the ground, producing little sparks.
When he was just one meter away from the zombie.
Chen Bei leaped up and delivered a heavy kick to the zombie's head. This kick also brought up sparks, looking really cool.
Bang!
The zombie's neck was even kicked off. Its body staggered a few steps, hit the wall and fell into a state of unconsciousness.
Chen Bei landed and rushed forward to continue attacking the zombie's head.
With two clicks, he blew the zombie's head off.
The corpse slid down, and a flash of light appeared on it, dropping an item.
Chen Bei picked it up and took a look. It was a small bottle of rosemary perfume.
The effect is that after spraying it on the body, it can eliminate the body odor and make it difficult for zombies to detect you, and the effect lasts for as long as 5 minutes.
Being difficult to detect doesn't mean being completely invisible.
If you are too close to the zombies, you will still be noticed.
"This thing is nice."
Chen Bei immediately put the perfume away.
The door beside him opened and Cao Qingqing poked her head out. Before, she had two buttons undone at the collar, but now she had four buttons undone. Her bosom was almost popping out.
"Brother, I've been waiting for you so painfully. You've finally come back. It's not safe tonight. Let me hide in your room! Please!"
Cao Qingqing put on a pitiful look, twisted her voluptuous body, and her bosom swayed back and forth, so dazzlingly white.
