"The plan has changed... While scoping out the Mad King Building players' gathering points, we also need to find out Xu Lang's departure times. The latter has an even higher priority!"

On the front line, Wu Peng received the messages sent by the Factory Heads.

At this moment, several managers had already arrived to deal with Li Shuwen and the others, each coming from different floors.

They had also received the messages.

"Do you have someone named Xu Lang over there? Our Factory Head wants to see him." A bald manager looked at Li Shuwen and said bluntly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.

Everyone stared directly at the bald manager.

"What's wrong?" The bald manager scratched his head, not understanding.

Li Shuwen let out a wry laugh: "Nothing much. Regarding Xu Lang's matters, we have no say. If you want to see him, you can go to Dorm 200 in the Mad King Building."

The bald manager's expression became hesitant; he really was a bit tempted to go.

However, sensing the peculiar gazes from the Mad King Building players, he dismissed the idea and looked inquiringly at Wu Peng.

"Now you think of me?! Brainless idiot!"

Wu Peng cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he smiled and said, "I've heard this Xu Lang is a big shot. If there's a chance in the future, we can meet and chat."

Li Shuwen smiled, his mind already making calculations.

These few people seemed to be targeting Xu Lang. Otherwise, Wu Peng would be asking who Xu Lang was right now.

But this was normal. It was unlikely anyone wouldn't be interested in Xu Lang.

The captured Mad King Building players had already started chatting in the chat room, begging for support from anyone who would listen.

Undoubtedly, these players must have leaked some information.

Suddenly, a Twilight Building manager exclaimed in shock, "Why have so many of our people died over here!"

Li Shuwen's heart stirred. Just as he was about to check the community mission, the system notification came through.

[Community Mission "Mad Reversal" Completed]

[SAN value buff effect can now take effect. This buff effect serves as the first permanent characteristic for Mad King Building players, including but not limited to functioning within Safe Zones and the Blood Mist World.]

"Completed so easily!?"

Li Shuwen was greatly surprised.

This mission was too simple, as if the Mad King Building was handing out welfare. Were they afraid his side couldn't withstand the Twilight Building players' attacks?

Although they had captured quite a few Twilight Building informants, they didn't know about the Twilight Building's community mission. Information about community missions couldn't be spoken aloud; speech would be blocked by the dorm's power, and it couldn't be written down either. But presumably, the opponent's task should be similar to their own.

Looking at the ecology of the two buildings, the only word that applied was "kill."

"Brother Wen, what's going on with your people? We kindly invited them into the community as guests, and you're still killing people!" Wu Peng said righteously and indignantly.

Li Shuwen didn't try to argue either, simply saying, "I'll have them return right away."

"You must compensate us!" The bald manager seized the opportunity to make an issue, angrily saying, "Make that Xu Lang come over and apologize to us!"

The corner of Li Shuwen's mouth twitched.

So you're fixated on Xu Lang, huh?

"What are you all going to do?" The bald manager felt the Mad King Building players' gazes change again and couldn't help but take a step back.

This time, the Mad King Building players' gazes were truly different, seeming to emit a red glow that sent chills down one's spine!

"Hehe!"

Suddenly, a Mad King Building player let out a laugh.

This abrupt laughter made the bald manager's scalp go cold, and he immediately looked over.

He saw a Mad King Building player with an ordinary appearance. Tears streamed from his eyes, his expression was sickly, and he wailed mournfully, "I'm so miserable! My best friend died during pioneering. In four days, we have to start the next round of the game. I can't survive, I can't go on living!"

This Mad King Building player cried and laughed, his face contorted, an aura of despair enveloping him.

His outburst seemed to trigger a chain reaction. The mental states of many Mad King Building players became abnormal!

They muttered to themselves, as if they had gone mad. Some even directly took knives and hacked at their own bodies!

"Mom, I want to go home!"

"Here, you either get killed or kill others!"

"Dorm Survival Game, why are you forcing me? I curse your mother!"

"Do you all want to kill me? Do you all want to kill me? I knew it all along!"

"Dog donkey, guess what my attribute points are now! What are they now!"

"Hahaha, I did it, I did it! I pushed my SAN value down to 30 points! Is this the feeling of power? So awesome!"

"If I chop off my palm, my SAN value should stay around 20 points, right? Would that increase or decrease my combat power? That's the question!"

At this moment, the chat room was also a scene of pandemonium.

Everyone was offering tips, using self-harm or despair-inducing fantasies to lower their own SAN values!

Watching those Mad King Building players going mad, even Li Shuwen felt a pang of fear and instinctively moved away!

The aura emanating from these Mad King Building players was completely off!

Li Shuwen felt utterly out of place.

Glancing at his own SAN value, it was a full eighty!

Too high!

"What's wrong with your subordinates?!" Wu Peng frowned and asked.

"They are not my subordinates." Li Shuwen said this, then quickly sent a message in the third-floor small group chat, saying, "I have things to do, so I'm heading home first. You all should also keep your distance."

Zheng Kai, Zhai Ren, and the others also instructed their subordinates to withdraw.

The players who went mad on the spot were all unorganized bottom-tier players.

They craved power too much.

After Li Shuwen and the others left, Wu Peng also planned to lead his people away.

Just then, a swift shadow flashed past. Several bright lights flashed in the air, and several Twilight Building players were directly cut down!

*Clang~*

Wu Peng blocked his arm in front of his neck. A blood line appeared on his arm where a steel wire had cut into it!

"You haven't compensated us yet. Also, give me back the seventh-floor players!" Floating Life Play arrived on the scene, a strange smile appearing on his pale cheeks. "Those cowards left, but I haven't!"

Wu Peng slowly turned his head, staring at Floating Life Play, his expression gradually darkening!

These lunatics aren't even pretending anymore?!

...

On the very first day of the community's formation, the two dormitory buildings directly tore off all pretense and declared war.

Those mad Mad King Building players once pushed into the Twilight Building's safe zone, only to be met with a head-on blow from the Factory Heads later, beaten into a scattered mess.

Arrogance comes with a price.

The struggle had already begun. None of them were people who would stay quietly in their place. Starting the killing on the very first day was perfectly normal!

The sun slanted westward.

As dusk approached, the time belonging to the Twilight Building players arrived.

On the tenth-floor corridor, Xu Lang rested his chin on his elbow, gazing at the battlefield scenery.

The battle wasn't over yet.

Or rather, the battle had only truly just begun!

The Factory Heads had been bitten. They couldn't possibly just let it go. Otherwise, the Twilight Building truly wouldn't deserve to have risen to level eighteen.
