Infinite Game - Start With SSS Rank Class-Chapter 124: Night Parade of a Hundred Demons (15)

"Selina is still outside. We don’t need to be competitive. As long as she’s safe, that’s enough."

Hearing his words, Nanoe, Morie, and Monica were all stunned, their gazes turning even gentler and warmer toward him.

But those were Rover’s true feelings.

After all, Selina was his woman. He didn’t want her to face life-threatening danger. Besides, her potential was huge, and he truly didn’t want to lose her.

Nanoe smiled. "Alright! Master, I’ll pass this message to her."

Rover nodded lightly, eyes on the TV screen. He saw that after hearing the knocks, Selina thought for a moment, then looked toward the security camera, nodded lightly, and ran into the [Destination Point] entrance.

Following behind her was another man. Of course, Rover didn’t think Selina had any shady relationship with that man.

Selina’s loyalty to him had reached 100 points. She definitely wouldn’t betray him.

Rover shifted his attention to the camera showing the front yard outside the apartment building.

Sure enough, just as everyone had guessed, the next monsters were mutated zombies fused with souls.

There weren’t many, but the sheer presence and killing intent they radiated was something Rover could clearly feel even while sitting inside the room.

He said to everyone, "Get ready to fight."

Everyone nodded. Only Monica pouted, not knowing what she should do. From the beginning until now, she felt her existence was too faint, to the point she felt like she was an unnecessary extra in this room.

But Nanoe walked over and comforted her. "Monica, once you become proficient with curses, everyone’s safety will depend on you."

"Anyone who dares threaten Rover, you curse them, okay?"

Morie also reassured her. "Exactly. You don’t even need to fight. Just curse them. Your class really is the perfect killing tool."

Hearing that, Monica immediately felt happy again and smiled. "Don’t worry! I definitely won’t disappoint Master."

Seeing the harmonious mood, Rover felt even more at ease.

Nanoe and Morie were busy checking the defense towers and resources. Monica continued training to get used to her new class.

Rover wasn’t too worried about the door. If the durability dropped too low, he could just Upgrade the door.

He looked at the screen. Even though he didn’t know what the other rooms were going through, the mutated zombies had already surged up to the staircase on Floor 5 with no sign of stopping.

"Looks like... the other rooms can’t withstand the zombies’ power." Rover muttered. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Nanoe spoke up. "Something is strange..."

"Hm?" Rover looked at her in confusion.

She continued, "In the chat, a lot of people are saying they’ve never encountered soul-type monsters like this before, and they have no way to deal with them."

"What?!" Rover was a bit surprised. They had encountered soul-type monsters back in a phase of the first round.

Morie rubbed her chin. "Then... if what they’re saying is true, I have a guess. That is... it seems the apartment building they were in before didn’t have this type of monster."

"To be more precise, the rounds they went through were different from the rounds we went through. Once survivors are merged together, there will be a gap in gear and experience."

"The System definitely wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake. That means... the difficulty is the same. Even a Rank 4 player can’t endure this round."

Everyone took a deep breath, anxiety and fear rising in their hearts.

You had to know, high-rank players didn’t just surpass them in experience, but also in time, gear, supplies, and so on...

For a simple example, in just three days, everyone in the room gained 27 Physique and 27 Spirit. In just three days, everyone’s strength had increased massively, far surpassing other Survivors.

If they were given even more time, that gap would only grow more terrifying.

Now, the System had matched Rank 3 and Rank 4 Survivors together with Rank 1 and Rank 2 Survivors. Wasn’t that just throwing them into a fire pit?

But reality showed them that whether it was a Rank 4 Survivor or a Rank 1 Survivor, the gap wasn’t actually that huge.

"Everyone, the zombies are here!" Nanoe frowned.

Everyone immediately tensed. Morie was ready to control the defense towers to attack.

She didn’t use a manual method. Relying on her class and the cameras on the TV screen, a control panel appeared in front of her, and her slender fingers moved across it.

Rover frowned, watching the mutated zombies begin to move onto Floor 7. He felt excited, yet also a little worried.

Even though Bardi was in first place, he couldn’t operate anymore right now.

On the other hand, Rover was the one taking the initiative. As long as he killed all these zombies, he could easily sit in Rank 1.

The moment the zombies stepped onto this floor, Rover’s two defense towers began attacking.

Morie controlled the towers. The pellet launcher fired nonstop. The pellets shot out, hit the wall, then quickly bounced, accurately striking the zombies.

The slow effect also activated, making their speed a little slower.

But what surprised Rover was... Morie’s hand speed.

He turned his head and saw Morie’s operations were ridiculously insane, like a professional CS:GO player.

’Was she a pro esports competitor before?’ he thought.

Morie didn’t take her eyes off the screen, yet she still knew Rover seemed surprised, and she explained softly, "Because my legs can’t walk, I’m very good at anything related to computers, including games."

"I was once specially invited to compete in international esports, but I refused. After all, I’m in a wheelchair. If I appeared in public, I’d easily become the target of malice."

Hearing that, Rover felt a bit of admiration for Morie.

He felt that in this room, he was the most ordinary person. No, maybe he and Monica were the most ordinary.

Rover looked at Monica, his gaze full of sympathy, like he’d found a kindred spirit.

Monica: "..."

She felt Rover’s look and didn’t understand why she suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if she had just been judged the most harmless creature in the room.

Morie’s fingers flew across the control panel.

Outside, the pellets slowed the zombies. Even the Lickers and Hunters were hit by them.

Then the arrows from the Ballista Crossbow fired. The arrows easily pierced the Lickers, but against the Tankers, they only left a few scratches on their skin.

Morie frowned and continued attacking. The Ballista Crossbow kept firing. The arrows shot out, and when they struck the Tankers, sparks erupted, but that didn’t mean the arrows couldn’t break their defense.

Morie clenched her teeth, her focus rising to the maximum, trying to shoot the already wounded spots on the Tankers.

But she couldn’t simultaneously control both defense towers to attack with perfect accuracy.

Rover spoke up, "Morie, let those zombies attack our room."

Morie jolted, but she realized that was probably his plan. Yes, if those zombies attacked their room, then at this close range, Morie definitely wouldn’t miss.

Besides, the zombies would be clustered in one place, and she could attack them even more easily.

Morie stopped using the Ballista Crossbow and focused only on the pellet launcher, slowing the zombies and wearing down their patience.

After climbing seven floors, the zombies’ patience was already close to collapsing. Once they were slowed by the pellets, their patience was almost gone.

At that moment, the zombies’ faces began splitting into multiple pieces. From inside, countless soul tentacles poured out. Each tentacle carried a human head, twisted and savage to the extreme.

They directly bypassed Bardi’s and Leng Yan’s rooms and attacked Rover’s room.

Rover had already anticipated this. After all, on this floor, his room was probably the only room with many ’Blood Marks,’ so his room could attract monsters the most.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The pounding on the door echoed, and the notification of the door durability dropping appeared in front of Rover.

[Ding! Door Durability: -1]

[Ding! Door Durability: -1]

However, the drop rate was very slow, about one point every five seconds.

"Ah! They’re getting hurt!" Monica shouted.

That’s right. The zombies attacked the door, but were wounded by the door’s spikes.

[Special Effects:

Damage Reflection: Reflects 20% of the damage the enemy deals to the door (this damage ignores the target’s Defense).

Poisoned: Anyone who attacks the door will be afflicted with an extremely potent poison, causing them to lose 0.5% of their life energy per second.]

"That’s the door’s special effects." Rover was delighted. As the zombies attacked the door, their bodies were also being injured. Even the spirits were being injured.

You could say that as long as they dealt damage to the door, no matter what state of existence they were in, they would still be affected by the door’s special effects.

Morie said excitedly, "Their bodies... are melting!"

That’s right. The zombies’ bodies and even the spirits were melting. The speed was very slow, but you could see that every time they attacked the door, their bodies melted a little more, like plastic exposed to extreme heat.

"That’s thanks to the special effect, [Poisoned]. Their bodies will lose 0.5% life energy every second," Rover said.

Nanoe frowned, looking at the door, then smiled. "Then... we don’t need to attack them anymore."
