"Professor Zhang, this really is a whole new world..." a man wearing non-prescription glasses said, stunned and murmuring.

The architectural style of the Safe Zone was completely different from Dawn City.

"There's not a single trace of intelligent technology here... perhaps our hope truly lies here!" the young man named Professor Zhang replied.

These ten scientists were a mix of men and women, but all were quite young.

In the Federation's cognitive system, aging was considered a disease, and there was a specific medicine for it.

"Stop just standing there dumbfounded, hurry into the dormitory building."

Right then, a voice chimed in from the side.

The ten were startled and quickly turned to look.

Zhang Dahai wore a cloak, his body covered in dust, looking exactly like a scavenger.

"Who's speaking?!" Professor Zhang exclaimed in shock.

Zhang Dahai was speechless, quickly retracting his Sequence power, and only then did everyone notice him.

"Excuse me, are you a local here?" a female scientist cautiously asked.

Zhang Dahai urged, "Yes, the situation here is very special. If you want to live, get into the dormitory building quickly."

The ten scientists exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.

They were still being pursued right now, so they truly couldn't afford to worry too much.

Led by Zhang Dahai, the ten headed towards the Mad King Building.

In front of the Mad King Building, Xu Lang was already waiting with his people.

"Lang Ge, I've brought them," Zhang Dahai said, then quickly walked away.

"Are you the person in charge here?" Professor Zhang cautiously asked.

[Zhang Shu]

[Type: Special Neutral Character (Can be converted to Player)]

[Level: 30]

[Race Tier: Commander]

[Skills: Advanced Mechanic (Legendary), Virtual Simulation (Excellent), Heart-Controlled Machinery (Excellent), Master-Level Calculation (Uncommon), Skilled Technician (Common)]

[Introduction: This is an elite Homo sapiens with a pitifully weak combat ability but possesses an incredibly powerful brain.]

[Nightmare Eye·Zhang Shu: A social elite of the Human Federation, injected with multiple Evolution Serums, lifespan extended to three hundred years, brainpower permanently maintained at peak state... original combat ability is weak.]

These were ten NPCs created by the Dorm Survival Game; even the Nightmare Eye couldn't detect much information about them. For now, they could only play along according to the game's prompts.

However, taking them in was one thing, but Xu Lang wouldn't keep them in his own dormitory.

"Zheng Kai, does your eighth floor still have vacant Tenant slots?" Xu Lang didn't answer Zhang Shu's question, instead looking at Zheng Kai.

"Yes, Lang Ge, exactly ten!" Zheng Kai responded.

"Then take them to your dormitory, and by the way, explain the rules here to them," Xu Lang said flatly.

The ten scientists were taken to the eighth floor by Zheng Kai and the others.

Xu Lang then turned his gaze to the horizon, where enemy units had begun to appear.

Moreover, the enemy units appearing this time were extraordinary, causing Xu Lang to narrow his eyes.

"Return to the dormitory!" Xu Lang commanded, then turned and walked into the black vortex.

...

A black-haired man with his chest exposed stepped into the Safe Zone. He was around forty years old, with muscles like granite, exuding an aura of maturity from head to toe. His gaze was full of authority and scrutiny, and his presence was extremely oppressive.

He carried a weapon case and wore a black-and-gold cloak. Six floating devices shaped like eyeballs drifted behind him, resembling mechanical sprites.

"This place is very strange, it seems to be a singularity point," the crew-cut man did not advance further. Instead, he scanned the Safe Zone with his eyes, then let his gaze wander between the two dormitory buildings, finally settling on the Mad King Building.

Those ten scientists were hiding inside.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and beckoned. A tactical squad suddenly charged out from behind him.

He looked surprised, then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It actually works!"

"This spacetime has given me special power!"

"Players vs. Monsters? An interesting setting!"

"Total troop source is thirty thousand fully equipped military robots, with a maximum of three thousand units appearing simultaneously..."

"If I can destroy both dormitory buildings, I'll even receive a reward!"

"Five hours is enough for me to sweep this place clean!"

"Let me calculate... the probability of annihilating this building is 33%, such low odds!"

...

"It's Black Emperor, he's here!!!" Zhang Shu arrived on the eighth floor, and his gaze inadvertently swept over the mature man outside the Safe Zone. His expression immediately turned panicked.

The other nine researchers also showed fear.

"What Black Emperor, White Emperor," Zheng Kai said disdainfully, swaggering over to the Guardrail to look into the distance.

Right in front of the Mad King Building was a straight, broad road leading directly towards the school gate. That direction was the easiest for monsters to spawn.

This time was no exception.

Zheng Kai saw a man standing still in the distance, holding a large sniper rifle.

The next second!

Bang!

Half of Zheng Kai's body exploded. Several life-saving items on him triggered in succession, and even his armor's Durability was shattered, revealing itself!

Thud thud thud!

Zheng Kai fell to the ground, a bloody mess.

"Brother Kai!"

The eighth-floor players were shocked and hurried forward to check.

Zheng Kai was still breathing. Everyone quickly fed him three Minor Holy Spring Waters.

This divine-tier item produced by the Madonna Statue immediately restored 36% of his life status.

Zheng Kai's blown-away jaw and internal organs rapidly regenerated, and his consciousness cleared.

"Run, run, run, get back to the dormitory!" Zheng Kai woke up and immediately shouted urgently.

At this moment, his SAN value had dropped to 30, and his expression was already somewhat crazed.

...

"Hmm? He actually didn't die."

Black Emperor was slightly surprised.

One of the six eyeball-shaped floaters behind him was missing; it was now a kilometer high in the sky, sharing its vision with him.

"I should have adjusted the power a bit higher," Black Emperor sighed, put away the high-energy sniper rifle, and ordered the increasing number of military robots around him, "Send ten squads to test the waters."

Ten squads of military robots immediately stepped forward and headed towards the Mad King Building.

Black Emperor himself, however, very cautiously adjusted his position, staying in the center of the military robot Main Army.

At the same time, he also commanded military robots to go to different combat points, clearly turning this place into a military camp.

"Current victory probability is 53.6%!"

Black Emperor looked out at the Mad King Building. All the eyeball-shaped flyers behind him took off, circling the Safe Zone to collect information.

As information was gathered, his victory probability increased exponentially.

...

[159 Wu Lei: Brothers, that BOSS has a sniper rifle, don't expose yourselves! Brother Kai almost died!]

Saying Zheng Kai almost died wasn't Wu Lei being tactless or bad at dorm politics; it was to emphasize the seriousness of the situation.

Hearing this, the players all ducked their heads.

But seeing the tactical robots approach, they still stealthily manually controlled the Turrets to attack.

However, the firepower was clearly insufficient.

One player grew anxious. After fighting for a while and seeing nothing unusual happen, he raised his head, wanting to aim carefully.

Bang!

The next second, his head exploded!

From then on, no player dared to peek out again!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

As soon as the tactical squads got close to the Mad King Building, over thirty crimson figures shot over like lightning.

In less than thirty seconds, the tactical squads were wiped out by the Mad Vanguards!

Among them, the third-stage Mad Vanguard's pupils flickered with red light as it looked into the distance at Black Emperor, seemingly assessing the hostility of this outsider.

Bang!

This third-stage Mad Vanguard was blown apart.

Immediately after, azure-blue high-energy electromagnetic bullets came one after another, picking off all thirty-plus Mad Vanguards.

Without the Mad Vanguards to block them, subsequent tactical squads arrived and smoothly entered the dormitory building.

And by this time, the players had already returned to their dormitories.
