【Ye Fan: Brother Dahai, get back home, quick!】

A joint operation between two buildings was just a joint operation. Zhang Dahai didn't care about this or that; he had been outside the dormitory building early, frantically sweeping for goods.

Now that he was well-off, equipped with a full set of quality gear and two life-saving items, he could afford to be bold and reckless for a while.

However, he wasn't mindlessly venturing out; he had some basis for it.

Firstly, the seventh round of the game had a tech-side theme; it wouldn't be as sinister as a ghost-type game.

Secondly, on the final day in the Mad King Building, Level Seventeen Excellent items had refreshed within the Safe Zone.

Based on this, he guessed the monster levels for the seventh round should be around Level Seventeen. At most, one or two boss-level BOSS monsters might appear. The level of major monsters wouldn't exceed Level Twenty, and even if there were major monsters, their racial tier probably wouldn't exceed Commander level, most likely appearing as siege units.

These were all experiences of the Mad King Building players.

The experience of Mad King Building players clearly differed from that of players in other buildings.

In the estimations of Mad King Building players, the appearance of Level Twenty monsters in the seventh round was normal.

The Twilight Building was a relatively normal dormitory building, so normally, the monsters they would face this round shouldn't exceed Level Nineteen...

The new players were quite sensible, not complete rookies who knew nothing.

On their first day here, they had submitted their personal information and received the Newcomer Gift Pack. Just this alone showed the Mad King Building's atmosphere was unmatched by other buildings.

Therefore, they'd rather believe it than not.

Being new here, having too many ideas wasn't conducive to survival. Many highly skilled High-Level Players had also chosen to lie low for now.

Before, you could see newcomers challenging the Floor Leader during rest days, but such scenes were almost non-existent now.

【Zhang Dahai: Is it very dangerous?】

【Ye Fan: Super, invincibly dangerous! The Blood Mist has even dissipated. This round is definitely not ordinary!】

Which round of the Mad King Building's game was ever ordinary?

Thinking that was one thing, but Zhang Dahai still didn't dare delay. He dove out of the storage room and quickly reached the top floor.

At a glance, his breath caught in his throat.

Immediately after, without hesitation, he propelled himself forward, not retreating but instead rapidly closing in on the outer edge of the Safe Zone!

To use player permissions to view monster information, one needed to get within a certain distance.

And as expected, the one most likely to obtain first-hand information was probably only him.

This was important for all players.

Zhang Dahai's first appearance had been to investigate the truth behind the zombies' abnormal movements, revealing the core of his character.

This round, the Mad King Building might truly be in danger.

Zhang Dahai felt duty-bound.

"How many times has the Mad King Building been in danger already?"

"No, this time it's a real crisis. Can't afford to be careless!"

He couldn't spare time for further thought, increasing his speed even more.

Getting the intel earlier meant players in the rear could formulate a response sooner.

...

In the chat room, Zhang Dahai disclosed the intel he had seen up close. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He first posted it in a small group, then forwarded it to the main group.

The variety of unit types in the Intelligence Machinery Army was ridiculously high. There were twenty to thirty conventional unit types, generally at Level Fifteen, with a racial tier of Elite!

There were seven advanced unit types, generally at Level Seventeen, racial tier Elite!

A very few large robots were also Level Seventeen, racial tier Leader!

As for the number of the Intelligence Machinery Army... that was impossible to estimate!

What truly made the players uneasy was that almost all these modern mechanical beings had long-range attack capabilities, and they clearly had command and control.

In other words, they could bomb the buildings from a distance!

Actually, they didn't even need to bomb from a distance. In the minds of many players, this Intelligence Machinery Army could probably just steamroll the dormitory buildings directly.

The reality was pretty much the same...

Xu Lang's expression was unprecedentedly grave.

Currently, aside from forcibly upgrading facility levels, he actually couldn't think of a way to break this!

Modern armies were simply too terrifying. It was hard to imagine that such a frail species as humans could create nuclear weapons capable of scouring the planet's surface.

"Is the racial quality of the robot race just this high?" Cao Yaxuan gasped in shock.

There wasn't a single robot with a racial tier below Elite!

That was just absurd!

This was roughly equivalent to a society where everyone was like Mike Tyson or Yao Ming.

"Low-end robots definitely exist too, but they've probably been phased out by this civilization!"

Right then, a voice chimed in.

Everyone turned to see Kui Zi, Yan Xiaoli, and Jiang Xiaowen walking over.

"Kui Zi, you're a mechanical expert. Do you have any good suggestions?" Cao Yaxuan asked, as if seeing a lifesaver.

At that moment, many movie scenes flashed through her mind.

Things like infiltrating deep into enemy territory, destroying the robot command center, and so on.

"Does waiting to die count..." Kui Zi's mouth twitched as she looked at Xu Lang. "Xu Lang, any ideas? Can the Blood Grudge be extended outward?"

Xu Lang: Does waiting to die count?

Kui Zi admitted she had been somewhat arrogant before the game started.

Now, I'll let you write tally marks on my leg if you can conjure up a Tenant slot?

"Let's adapt to the situation. When water comes, we build a dam; when soldiers come, we deploy generals to block them," Xu Lang said helplessly. "After my strength increased, the attraction of Blood Grudge improved quite a bit, but it definitely can't cover all the monsters."

His helplessness stemmed from the fact that these modern killing machines would undoubtedly employ long-range building-bombing tactics.

Long-range building bombing was a headache-inducing method of attack for players. Some players had actually experienced it, and they summarized three solutions.

First, exchange fire, using Turrets to destroy the enemy's bombing units.

Second, dispatch Elite Troops for a decapitation strike.

Third, tough it out, drag the game until time runs out, or until the enemy exhausts their bombing supplies.

None of these three solutions were suitable for the current situation.

For no other reason than the enemy camp was too numerous, overwhelmingly so!

Wang Yazhi gently stroked her sword hilt, thinking of Floating Life Play.

Would artificially creating several hundred Mad Vanguards at this point have a miraculous effect?

But there was no need to rush such things. Those destined to become Mad Vanguards would change on their own.

Thinking about family or self-harm doesn't count as despair; monsters at your door, on the brink of death, that's true despair.

Under sufficiently desperate circumstances, you might even unlock your genetic potential.

"If we're having this much difficulty here, the Twilight Building side might really be hanging by a thread," Sherry said with a worried expression.

The overall quality of Twilight Building players was worse than the Mad King Building's because they didn't have Xu Lang, and ten Factory Heads and high-ranking members had been eliminated, severely damaging their vitality.

Watching the robot army advancing on the horizon, Xu Lang considered absorbing all players into the Demon Box World.

With his over eight hundred thousand Nightmare Coins, he should be able to withstand this round.

Simultaneously, he was pondering another issue.

That was, the difficulty of this round was way too high...

Just as he was lost in thought, a cruise missile shot towards the Twilight Building.

And in that instant, heaven and earth froze!

The scenery outside the Safe Zone seemed to have been paused by someone.

The voice of the Dorm Survival Game entity resonated between heaven and earth, cold and merciless!
