The tactical squad was quickly wiped out by the turrets.

"Interesting. The robots start malfunctioning as soon as they get within a kilometer of that building." Black Emperor's eyes were deep and profound. His right thumb, index finger, and middle finger rubbed against each other, a thinking habit that seemed more fitting for a carbon-based life form.

Those tactical robots malfunctioned as soon as they approached the Mad King Building. It was as if their original tactical commands had been overridden by a higher-dimensional directive.

"Is the malfunction range one kilometer? Not sure. Let's test again."

Black Emperor dispatched another column of tactical robots.

Finally, he got the answer he wanted, and a smile appeared on his face.

...

"What the hell is that Black Emperor's background?!" In Dorm 159, Zheng Kai looked at Professor Zhang, his heart still trembling with fear.

He almost killed me with a single strike! That's terrifying!

"Black Emperor is the fourth-generation War Lord developed by our Dawn City for the Federation." Professor Zhang sighed. "Now, he has betrayed us too, controlled by the directives of Dawn Heart."

The other researchers all wore expressions of despair.

"Black Emperor has found us. We're doomed!" A Professor Chen clasped his head in his hands, whimpering in a low voice.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? With Brother Lang here, we won't lose." Zheng Kai said with a displeased expression.

"You don't understand the terror of a War Lord. It's just a single building." Professor Chen's body trembled, bloodshot lines appearing in his pupils as he spoke with fear. "He killed everyone, everyone. We might be the last humans in Dawn City... Once we die, Dawn City's civilization, infrastructure, and resources will all be inherited by Dawn Heart. This is the power of a central city! The damage this could cause is simply unimaginable!"

The power of a central city, while it might not be able to defeat all human nations, could certainly lead to a "mutual loss" scenario. In the future, there might truly be a silicon-based race standing in opposition to humanity!

"What exactly happened? Why would something like Dawn Heart be born?!" This Professor Chen grew more and more despairing as he spoke.

Zheng Kai's expression changed slightly. He quickly slapped Professor Chen to snap him out of it, then pulled out a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth. "Stop going crazy on me! Going crazy here will get you killed!"

Now that all ten scientists had player status, if their SAN value dropped to zero, they would become Mad Vanguards, falling into the abyss of madness with no way back.

The Tenants who witnessed this scene immediately felt a pang of regret.

That piece of bread was a good item that could restore SAN value.

Professor Chen's expression eased. "Sorry..."

Before he could finish, a deafening, rumbling roar erupted!

"Brother Kai! Those monsters are setting up artillery!" a Tenant shouted in alarm.

...

After confirming the distance at which the robots malfunctioned, Black Emperor changed his strategy.

Three thousand military robots set up anti-aircraft guns at positions one thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters, and two thousand meters away from the Mad King Building.

The entire process took less than three minutes. The efficiency was frighteningly high.

After a barrage of fire, explosions and shockwaves erupted all over the Mad King Building, but it simply refused to collapse. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Black Emperor stroked his chin. Suddenly, a large amount of Mechanic Force spread from his feet. This force carried its own electromagnetic energy, glowing with a blue light, resembling a throne.

This throne spread outward, quickly covering the three thousand military robots.

The scene was quite spectacular. Some players with observation methods saw it and hurriedly spread the word in the chat room.

[41 Grass Python Hero: Holy shit, holy shit! That boss has gone crazy! A skill range of several thousand meters? Who can handle that?!]

[192 Gu Shuang: Brothers and sisters, what's the situation outside?]

[58 Li Jie: @Gu Shuang, what about your scouts on the tenth floor? Didn't they report the situation to you?]

[66 Zhai Ren: This is a photo taken by our scout, shared with everyone for free. (Image)]

[157 Sun Lin: Where's the Dorm Owner? Come out and save us! That boss is using his ultimate!]

[170 Pandora: You fools, don't panic! That's a buff skill!]

[36 Pan Chengcheng: Wuwu, Sister Pandora, that makes me even more panicked! A buff skill with such a huge range!]

[195 Yan Xiaoli: @Zheng Kai, what about those professors? Do they have any way to counter this monster? I feel like they're going to blow up the building!]

[159 Cao Yu: No, these NPCs have almost no combat power.]

[159 Zhang Shu: We are not NPCs...]

Currently, the Mad King Building had quite a few scouts.

As the abundance of supplies increased, items that could block monster perception also became more common.

But people would first serve their own small groups and dorms, not immediately passing information to the chat room.

The information in the chat room was mostly second-hand by now, only reflecting the overall mood of the players.

Of course, there were also good-hearted people like Zhang Dahai who would give some important hints.

Like right now, Zhang Dahai posted Black Emperor's information.

[Black Emperor]

[Type: Intelligent Mechanical Life (Monster Faction)]

[Level: 25]

[Race Tier: Lord]

[Skills: Black Emperor's Armory (Mythical), Data Ocean Spirit (Mythical), Advanced Mechanic Force (Legendary), Self-Repair (Legendary), Compression Field (Legendary), Head-On Heavy Strike (Uncommon), Magnetic Field Control (Uncommon)]

[Special Status (Temporary Command Authority): Signal can command low to mid-level military robots.]

[Introduction: A War Lord created by Federation civilization. Possesses the mental capacity and wisdom to command a large-scale battle. Has a plentiful armory, conquering every fortress and winning every war.]

The facts proved that all players had underestimated the absurd toughness of the Mad King Building.

A Level 25 Lord-tier monster was something no one had anticipated.

Some Twilight Building players, learning about Black Emperor's information through friends, almost had their morale shattered.

For heaven's sake, if they hadn't connected with the Mad King Building, the monsters in their round would have capped at Level 20 at most!

"Level 25 Lord? Isn't that the same as the Remnant Nether Lord?" Cao Yaxuan said in surprise.

"Weaker than I imagined. This probably isn't the final boss." Xu Lang said thoughtfully.

Xu Xiaomeng clicked her tongue. "This isn't it?!"

Xu Lang nodded. "The Dorm Survival Game's stage difficulty calculates our combined combat power... The players of an entire building should be included in the balancing mechanism's calculations."

Compared to over a thousand players, this Black Emperor indeed seemed quite ordinary, not the kind of strength that could destroy a building single-handedly.

Not to mention, there was also the Twilight Building now.

"Judging by his skill types, his individual combat power should be inferior to the Remnant Nether Lord... However, the destructive power of the robot race seems exceptionally high." Xu Ruyan offered a brief analysis, then looked at Xu Lang. "Should we go for a decapitation strike?"

"Not in a hurry. Let's see the intensity of his building bombardment first." Xu Lang shook his head.

The hearts of the women present tightened.

This monster really did want to blow up the building!
