Chương 20: Herd Mentality
The next day, after having a simple breakfast, Damian returned to the fifteenth floor and knocked on the door of the lounge.
"Hello, I'm the one who came here last night. Could you please open the door?"
With the supplies from last night, the people in the house quickly opened the door.
"Welcome, we didn't thank you properly yesterday. Please come in."
Several people welcomed Damian in. Looking at his young and clean handsome face, several people couldn't help but feel surprised.
Because it was dark last night, plus Damian stood behind the flashlight again, so they didn't see his face clearly.
In their imagination, a person like Damian who could go out on an adventure and hunt by himself should have a tough appearance and burly figure, but they didn't expect that he turned out to be like the gentle guy next door.
"Have you been hiding here since the end of the world?" Ignoring their eyes, Damian sat on the sofa in the lounge and asked, pretending to be curious.
"We were on the 18th floor at the beginning. After the apocalypse began, we thought about escaping. As a result, there were too many zombies down there and bit our colleagues. So we gave up escaping and had no choice but to come back up and hide here."
"As a result, we ran away in a hurry, and didn't bring any supplies, plus the boss of this company was too stingy. There was nothing to eat in the canteen either."
At this point, the man gritted his teeth angrily. There are no employee benefits at all. What a fucking black hearted company.
"Then what are your next plans? I am leaving now. If you are willing, I can take you away." Damian said.
Hearing this, several people's eyes flickered. Damian's kindness was a bit too obvious and obviously exceeded the scope of a normal person.
They are all adults, veterans who have been in the workplace and society for several years. The kindness of strangers is not a good thing and often represents a trap.
"I know what you are worried about, but you don't have anything that I need, right?" Damian said with a smile, then pointed to his face: "If you two ladies are worried about what I will do to you, I can just say look at me, do I look like someone who'll commit those kind of crimes."
"That's _ true..."
"And besides if I want you, I'll just impress you with my charm. I'm quite good, right?" Damian teased, easing the tense atmosphere in the room, making the girls laugh shyly.
Both girls looked at each other, before glancing at Damian again, and silently thinking, well he's right. There's no need to force them, wouldn't they be willing to become his partner now.
Damian ignored them and continued his pitch. "I have a team. We occupy a food processing factory, along with a cold storage hall, so there is no shortage of food."
"Plus our captain is a bit of a 'good' guy. He asks us to rescue other people. Every time we bring back one more person, we can get more supplies. I don't understand his mentality either. But it's clear that we each get what we need, I will give you safety, and you will bring me supplies in camp."
Damian explained patiently. This time, several people were less wary and more hesitant.
Not to mention the reasons given by Damian, the main thing is that what he just said is very important. They really don't have what Damian wants.
People need supplies but they have no supplies, people lack treasures but they have no treasures. As for money, it is worthless in the last days.
The only thing that matters to them now is their lives. They also know the situation downstairs. They understand how terrifying zombies are.
There is almost no food on this floor now. Just relying on the supplies given by the system every night is really not enough to support a normal person's daily food intake. If they stay here, sooner or later they will starve to death.
In fact, this is also the main reason why many people start to make stupid decisions in the last days.
Lack of food, lack of water, facing crisis, fearing all day long, even a peaceful sleep is a luxury. Hunger, thirst, fatigue, mental stress, any combination of these tortures can lead to depression.
In this case, when faced with any little hope of survival, many people will desperately grab life-saving straws as if falling into water, and make decisions that normally would seem very stupid.
Just like the five people who are now preparing to leave with Damian.
The sixth person who was hesitating saw that the other five people were preparing to leave with Damian. When he thought of being alone in the office building, he no longer hesitated and chose to leave together too.
'Herd mentality and peer pressure is a sure win method.' Damian thought in his heart with a smile. Before adding,
"Then let's go without further delay. The base is a bit far from here. You can follow me."
Although Damian briefly cleaned the floors below last night, he only cleared a path, and there were still many zombies on each floor.
Fortunately, after various equipment upgrades, Damian's attribute panel at level 5 is not weaker than those of level 8 players, so it is not difficult to protect these six people now.
The six people lined up and walked down close to the wall, making the space easier for Damian to clean up and down the stairs.
Looking at Damian who kept attacking the zombies like a real swordsman, several people couldn't help but be stunned. They thought that Damian was very strong, but they didn't expect that it would reach this level.
The two women were blushing terribly at this moment. With a handsome face, gentle attitude, and strong strength, coupled with the suspension bridge effect brought about by the dangerous situation, the pounding heart is no exaggeration.
'Maybe it's fate that I waited for him and he found me.' Both girls thought, while calming the running deers in their hearts.
It took the group nearly twenty minutes to finally arrive safely downstairs.
In this process, Damian gained more than 160 experience points. Counting the experience gained from last night and the dungeon, the total amount is nearly 700. As long as he can clear the dungeon once more, he can level up steadily.
In addition, the proficiency level of energy bomb has been increased again, and the damage increased by 10% his mental spirit value.
Damian and his party crossed the street and passed by the door of the dungeon.
[It has been detected that the opening requirements for the dungeon are met and it can be opened, would you like to enter?]
A prompt box popped up in front of everyone's eyes, and Damian immediately answered positively to enter. Following the prompt to enter the dungeon, the seven people were suddenly moved from the outside door to an aisle between the two glass doors.
Damian didn't give the six people any time to react or run around. As soon as they all entered the dungeon, ice crystals flashed from his hands, and everyone's legs were completely broken.
Arghhh aghhhhhhaaaaa ×6
Looking down at the wailing and screaming people, there was no mercy on Damian's face. He pulled a plastic bottle filled with zombie blood from his backpack and made everyone drink a little or drop some on their injuries. Injecting them with the virus successfully.
{Zombie blood in a bottle can also act as a grenade lol, throw it on ur enemies, infect them. Me, the Author is simply a genius for thinking of such methods. It's effective, never ending, and cheap as hell - bravo me. Am I a psychopathic genius…}
While waiting silently for them to turn, Damian cleaned up the zombies that were attracted by screams to the first floor. When the six people were confirmed to be fully infected, Damian turned around and killed them all.
[Current kill count: 29/360.]
Because there are two more people entering the dungeon this time, the number that needs to be cleaned up is also 60 more. However, the highest level of zombies is still level 8, and the number will definitely not exceed 4. So no worries.
Damian cleaned up all the way. Yesterday he was able to pass the level smoothly without any danger. Today, he is wearing loner's trousers and has a new skill, which naturally makes it smoother than yesterday.
After nearly four hours of cleaning up, Damian hacked to death the last zombie.
[Kill count 360/360.]
[Dungeon cleared. Congratulations to the surviving player.]
Damian skipped the usual and went directly for reward. Obviously it was another dark gold level treasure chest. Inside it is one dark gold level equipment, one gold level equipment, and four tubes of resistance potions inside.
Unfortunately, they are all Type I medicines and cannot permanently resist zombie viruses. They can only provide resistance to zombie viruses for seven days after drinking them.
As for those two pieces of equipment.
The gold level one is a ring. It increases spirit value by 15 points, and one passive effect that adds an additional 2% mental damage for his attacks.
Dark gold level equipment is a pair of shoes.
[Equipment: Phantom Boots
Grade: dark gold
Attributes: Agility +20
Jumping ability +15
Additional skills -
–Haste: Increase player's agility by another 20 points, duration 60 seconds, cooling time 600 seconds.
Equipment requirements: level 5, agility 50 points or above. ]
In addition to the treasure chest, the dungeon also gave him 480 experience points.
Less than a week after the apocalypse started, people were generally still at level 2, the strong were at level 3, and a very few geniuses were at level 4, but Damian was at level 6 holding an absolute advantage above everyone else.
Truly sitting at the top of the food chain.The apex predator is indeed the greatest villain.
