Chapter 134: The Dorm Supervisor is Really Rude
by 不语忧Chapter 134: The Dorm Matron Is So Rude
The preparation time ended, and each of the major teams selected 20 members to enter the "World Boss" map.
As the countdown stopped, five golden rings appeared in the white zone, and team members stepped into their respective rings.
After a wave of dizziness,
Wu Yue opened her eyes.
She was shocked to find herself inside a school dormitory.
Wu Yue quickly analyzed the current situation:
A run-down school dormitory, scattered personal items and books on the floor, and faint smears of blood on the shattered windows.
Outside, rain poured down in sheets, accompanied by occasional thunderclaps.
Raindrops splashed in through the broken window, soaking the windowsill.
Wu Yue tried to open the dormitory door, but someone had locked it from the outside.
The communicator was dead, and all her gear was locked.
However, in the reflection of the window, Wu Yue noticed a full HP Bar (100/100) above her head.
From the next room came Su Mo’s pleading cries:
"Is anyone out there? I’m locked inside!"
"Can someone please help me?"
"Shut up! If you want to die, don’t drag others down with you!"
A fierce scolding followed, and judging by the choppy tone, Wu Yue guessed the speaker might be Falcon’s female operative.
It seemed all female members from every team had been locked in this girls' dormitory.
Ignoring Su Mo’s begging and weeping, Wu Yue’s priority was to find something to seal the leaking window.
She quickly rummaged through the room and finally found a partial roll of duct tape and a half-dried tube of 502 glue.
She removed the wardrobe door and used a student’s serrated kitchen knife to cut it quickly.
Then, she found a nail file in a pencil cup to sand down the edges of the wooden board.
After finishing these tasks, Wu Yue carefully removed the remaining shards of glass from the window—they could serve as improvised weapons.
She fitted the wooden board tightly into the window frame, smoothed the details, applied the 502 glue, and reinforced it with duct tape.
Even after all this, Wu Yue wasn’t done yet.
She grabbed a black marker and wrote "Sealed" on the board.
Then, she used yellow tape to affix the Chinese character for "Buddha" (佛) to the window, pressed her palms together, and murmured a prayer.
While sealing the window, she didn’t forget to throw in a quick ritual for good measure.
Besides sealing the window, Wu Yue also needed to block the whole window.
She didn’t want some horrifying ghost outside the window suddenly staring right at her.
She tore pages from books, wet them with water, and layered them over the window.
Through the window, Wu Yue saw the faint outline of a dormitory in the darkness—likely the men’s dorm, where the male teammates were locked up.
Between the two buildings stood a tall clock tower, but unlike regular clock towers,
its highest point was marked at 100. Just as Wu Yue looked, the number ticked down from 100 to 99.
Wu Yue thought: *Looks like someone’s already died right off the bat.*
After sealing the window, Wu Yue received a system prompt:
*"Well done. Sealing the window keeps ghosts from slipping in with the rainwater.
Reward: A flashlight
Item description: No matter what kind of ghost, they all fear the light emitted by this flashlight."*
Wu Yue clipped the flashlight to her belt and began scouring the dorm for anything useful.
First, a phone to check the time,
some sealed snacks—instant noodles, crackers, plain potato chips, spicy strips, beef jerky, and chocolate.
These were all pre-apocalypse rations, a rare treat for Wu Yue. She packed them all into a small backpack.
The water dispenser still had half a bucket of water. After pouring a cup to clean a water bottle, she filled two 1L bottles and hung them crosswise around her neck.
This stash could last her three days. Wu Yue then began scouting for a decent weapon.
Her bow and nuclear-powered gun were both gone. This map’s suppression was way tougher than the Earth Tablet’s polar map.
The fruit knife from earlier, two pairs of scissors, a pair of pliers, a screwdriver, and a small frying pan—she strapped them onto her back.
Wu Yue also found an electric scooter key and helmet. She wore the helmet and snagged the key.
Finally, she checked the bathroom—broom, mop, toilet plunger—she grabbed anything remotely useful.
Another system message flashed:
*"A hardcore loot-and-scavenge expert, stripping the place bare like locusts.
Congratulations on obtaining the title [Survival Locust]
Reward: A blanket.
Item description: As everyone knows, ghosts can't follow you under the covers."*
Wu Yue grinned.
A solid mix of offense and defense—her starting gear was top-notch.
The door was locked, but Wu Yue found a student ID and a paperclip.
She twisted the paperclip into a crude key, inserted it into the keyhole, and scanned the student ID.
A *click*—the door swung open.
A sharp hiss of pain came from behind the door. Wu Yue remembered the pair of blood-red eyes that had flashed past the keyhole when she inserted the paperclip earlier.
Wu Yue pulled the blanket over herself and opened the door.
Posted right by the door were the dorm rules:
"1. Lights-out at 10 PM. No leaving the dorm after lights-out.
2. No noise or disruptions after lights-out to avoid disturbing others.
3. At 2 AM, the dorm supervisor will check rooms. Make sure you look asleep."
Upon reading the rules, the oddly misshapen dorm supervisor in the hallway slowly turned her head toward Wu Yue’s room.
Her blood-red eyes should have been terrifying in the pitch-black darkness, but the way she covered one eye made the scene creepy but kinda funny.
Wu Yue coolly held her stare for a moment before closing the door and returning to her room.
*Okay, she can’t see me… she can’t see me.*
Besides, she’d only opened the door—not technically breaking the rules by leaving.
The moment the door shut, a desperate plea sounded nearby:
"Was that the door? I heard it open!"
"Can you save me? I’m Su Mo."
"Help me, and I’ll— Ah!!"
Someone in another room muttered, "Ugh, moron."
Su Mo went quiet—probably punished for breaking rules.
Wu Yue took off her stuff, lay down, and calmly closed her eyes.
At 2 AM,
Wu Yue bolted upright at two back-to-back shrieks.
She checked her phone—2:05 AM. Inspection time.
As she set it down, the doorknob rattled.
The supervisor’s entrance dropped the room’s temperature by five degrees, an icy draft creeping in.
Her eyes were shut, but this supervisor clearly had it out for her.
Wu Yue’s bed shook as the woman climbed onto it.
A glare dripping with malice fixed on her, and a raspy voice hissed:
"I know you’re awake."
"Get caught, and you’ll be punished."
"Heh-heh-heh!"
The blanket shielded her from being touched, but Wu Yue braced for the supervisor’s mind games.
Here's the edited translation incorporating the expert suggestions:
The dorm supervisor's voice sounded more and more like a bizarre incantation to Wu Yue, making her fight the urge to throw off the covers.
Noticing Wu Yue's eyelids twitching, the dorm supervisor flashed a creepy, victorious grin.
"Wake up, good girl. Don't piss me off."
With a *click*, Wu Yue suddenly reached out from under the blanket, pointing a flashlight directly at the dorm supervisor.
The beam of scorching light hit the dorm supervisor, instantly filling the air with a nasty burnt smell.
"Ahhhh!"
The dorm supervisor tumbled off Wu Yue's bed with a loud *thud*, scrambling away in terror.
Wu Yue calmly sat up, removing the wads of paper crammed in her ears, with no trace of psychological distress.
However.
As the cold draft hit her from the hallway, Wu Yue grew angry.
That woman was so damn rude—couldn't even be bothered to shut the damn door before leaving. Now she might catch a cold!
