Chapter 27 The dormitory door is wide open
Jiang Ming nodded slightly.
Intelligence obtained.
This is enough.
Thanks.
Jiang Ming flicked his wrist, and the black iron longsword neatly returned to the slot behind the shield.
"I'm gone."
He nodded slightly to Li Bin and the others behind him.
Wang Yang grinned at Wei Yuan, deliberately switching the axe from his shoulder to his other hand, the blade gleaming blindingly in the lamplight.
Zhong Chengyu and the others also dropped their tense demeanor and followed Jiang Ming away from the place.
Six people.
And so, under the watchful eyes of more than thirty people, he calmly left.
The stagnant air only began to flow again after their figures disappeared in the direction leading to the boys' dormitory.
"Grass!"
Wei Yuan suddenly slammed the wooden stick in his hand to the ground with a dull thud.
He felt a burning pain in his cheeks, as if he had been slapped dozens of times in public.
"Brother Yuan, are we just going to let them go like this?"
An officer who usually had a good relationship with Wei Yuan came over and whispered something.
"If we can get our hands on those weapons, our team's combat strength will at least double."
"fart!"
Wei Yuan turned his head and glared at him fiercely.
"Why didn't you go up earlier? When that sword was pointed at me, were you all speechless?"
The clerk shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.
Wei Yuan took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.
He patted the dust off his clothes.
"Those people are not simple."
He squinted as he looked in the direction Jiang Ming had left.
"Especially the leader, he not only has real weapons, but his clothes aren't red at all; they're stained with blood... In short, fighting them head-on won't do us any good."
"Then what do we do? Just let it go?"
"never mind?"
Wei Yuan sneered.
"The school is in chaos now, but it's not so chaotic that whoever has the biggest fist is the king."
"No matter how good they are at fighting, there are only six of them."
"We have manpower, resources, and the support of Deputy Director Liu and some teachers..."
He waved and called over a thin boy with shifty eyes.
"Monkey, you follow them."
"Huh? Brother Yuan, I..."
The boy who was called "monkey" looked reluctant.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm asking you to go fight."
Wei Yuan lowered his voice and gave instructions in his ear.
"Follow them from a distance, but don't get spotted. Find out which building they live in, which dormitory. Also, find out exactly how many of them there are."
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
The monkey rolled its eyes, nodded, and followed the direction the group had left in.
……
On the way back to the boys' dormitory.
A night breeze blew by, carrying a damp, earthy smell that went straight into my nose.
Apart from the lack of streetlights, the surroundings were the same as usual, with constant chirping of insects.
The sound of several people's footsteps crunching on the gravel road.
Chung Cheng-yu used the last bit of battery in his phone to keep the flashlight going, sweeping the beam of light around in the roadside bushes, afraid that something might suddenly jump out.
"Old Jiang, that was really energetic!"
Wang Yang had been holding it in the whole way, but finally couldn't help but speak up.
He brandished the axe in his hand, his face beaming with excitement.
"Did you see Wei Yuan's expression? Like he'd swallowed a fly! He used to be so arrogant at school, but he didn't dare utter a single word just now!"
"That's because the sword in your brother Jiang's hand is hard."
Li Bin walked beside him, pushed up his glasses, and calmly poured cold water on the situation.
"If we had been holding mop handles, those guys would have swarmed us and stripped us down to our underwear."
"That's true."
Wang Yang chuckled, not annoyed at all.
"But speaking of which, that wild boar of theirs looks really fat. Half a carcass of meat must weigh at least seventy or eighty pounds, right? Enough for several meals."
As he spoke, he swallowed, and his stomach rumbled at just the right moment.
Although he enjoyed the roasted lamb earlier, it wasn't enough for this fat guy.
"Let's go after we wake up."
Zhong Chengyu walked behind, gripping the baseball bat tightly in his hand.
"Since Wei Yuan and the others can hunt wild boars, we definitely can too. Let's get plenty of meat, and I also want to get Brother Jiang's black iron sword."
"I got that sword from a lottery, it's all about luck," Jiang Ming said, walking in front without turning his head. "But as long as you kill enough monsters and get a high enough score, you'll get it sooner or later."
"By the way, where did you put your attribute points after the upgrade?" one of Zhong Chengyu's roommates asked curiously.
"I've maxed out my Strength," Wang Yang answered quickly. "I have 8 Strength now, I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch! This axe is like child's play in my hands."
"stupid."
Li Bin uttered a single word.
"Your constitution is only 4 points, your health bar is as thin as paper. What's the use of having great strength if you get crippled by a single touch from a monster?"
"What should we do then?" Wang Yang was stunned.
"It's best to develop in a balanced way in the early stages," Jiang Ming interjected.
He continued, "Strength should determine damage and load, just like in a game; physique determines resilience and endurance; agility determines evasion and speed; perception... any of these four factors being too low is a fatal weakness."
His current attributes are Strength 10, Constitution 5, Agility 5, and Perception 8.
Although she has superhuman strength, her physique and agility are also at the level of a normal person.
This is also the source of his confidence to take on elite monsters alone and face a group of people without equipment.
"arrive."
As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the boys' dormitory building.
The main gate was wide open, and the area where the electronic access control system used to be had been smashed, with shattered glass everywhere.
The hallway was pitch black, with only the emergency indicator lights emitting a faint green glow.
A strange smell wafted over.
It smelled like a mixture of sweat, foot odor, and some unknown smell.
Why is it so quiet?
Li Bin frowned and stopped walking.
Normally, even if there's a power outage, there should be voices in the dormitory building at this time.
But at this moment, the entire building was as silent as a giant tomb.
"They're all hiding in their dorm rooms."
Without thinking much, Wang Yang started walking upstairs.
"It's also possible that they went to bed early."
"Let's go back quickly, I'm exhausted, I want to lie in bed like a corpse."
Me too.
The group climbed to the third floor.
Just as they turned the corner of the stairs, Zhong Chengyu, who was walking at the front, suddenly froze.
The beam of the flashlight shone straight ahead.
That's dormitory 302.
Zhong Chengyu's and his two roommates' dormitory room.
The dormitory door, which had been properly closed, was now wide open.
A large muddy footprint was imprinted on the door panel, and the latch was deformed, hanging crookedly on the door frame.
"Hold!"
Zhong Chengyu roared and rushed over.
Jiang Ming and the others realized something was wrong and quickly followed.
Stepping into dormitory 302, the scene before them chilled everyone to the bone.
