Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

5: Psychological attacks

"You think I'll open the door just because you tell me to?"

Chen An pursed his lips.

His little heart was finally at ease.

With that level of attack power, it would be absolutely impossible to break through his level two wooden door.

It can't even be broken down in terms of durability.

At most, it's just too noisy and might cause him some psychological distress.

He didn't know whether the other residents' main wooden doors would be broken open.

Lying back on the soft recliner, Chen An opened the community chat room to take a look.

This is the only form of entertainment in the current environment.

It can dispel fear and also help gather useful information.

Resident No. 000001: Oh my god! That smiling face is so creepy! I feel like I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

Resident No. 100000: Having nightmares? How could you possibly sleep in such a noisy environment?

Resident No. 022222: Huh? How come you saw a smiling face? Did you open the door?

Resident #000001: Hey friend, haven't you upgraded your wooden door to level 2 yet? Level 2 wooden doors have peepholes so you can see outside.

Resident No. 022222: Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier!

Resident No. 022222: But it wouldn't have mattered if I had said so earlier, because I can't collect enough wood to upgrade... Sigh, I'm so unlucky. I searched two rooms and only found half a bottle of water, and it was half a bottle that someone had already drunk from! I'm really speechless!

Resident No. 098863: Help! My wooden door has lost some durability! Can anyone help me?

Resident No. 087878: Who would dare to come out and save you at this point? Try to upgrade your wooden door yourself; a level 2 wooden door should be able to withstand the Nightmare's attack. If all else fails, repair the door. If you repair it in time, it should hold out until the monster leaves.

Resident #036365: Even if it loses a little durability every half hour, the Nightmare won't leave for 7 hours, which means it will cost 14 units of wood to repair it. Where am I going to find so much wood...?

Resident No. 036936: Has anyone tried to take down the Smiling Nightmare? Otherwise, if it keeps going like this, even a level 2 wooden door will lose durability from being hit, right?

Resident No. 036936: Brothers, my name is Zheng Yuan. My room is in Unit 9, Building 36, 36th floor. If any residents on this floor want to team up to fight monsters, DM me! Must be a resident with combat-related talents! Otherwise, don't blame me if you die!

Resident No. 036937: Zheng Yuan? Oh my god, are you Zheng Yuan from Class 3 of the Physical Education Department at Chengdu University?

Resident No. 036936: Yes, who are you?

Resident No. 036937: I am Zhao Zhihao, Brother Zheng!

Resident No. 036936: Damn! Rat, I never thought we'd end up together!

Resident No. 036938: Mouse, Brother Zheng? It's you guys? I'm Wang Jiaqi! Quick, add me as a friend and let's team up!

……

"These students were actually matched on the same floor, and even their room numbers were very close."

Chen An saw these chat messages.

This further confirmed my suspicions.

People who are acquaintances, or those who lived nearby before time travel, have a very high probability of being matched together.

"When I transmigrated to this world of eternal night, I was in class... so most of the residents on this floor are probably my classmates."

"That explains why I heard that familiar voice before."

The male voice that called for help earlier was his classmate and roommate.

His name is Li Wenbo.

Although they were roommates, their relationship was just so-so.

It should be said that he didn't have a very good relationship with his classmates.

It's no wonder that no one else is to blame.

Instead, Chen An had a rather withdrawn personality since childhood due to family reasons, and he did not like to make friends or get close to people.

He is very wary of everyone and habitually keeps his distance from everyone.

"If this floor were full of college students, there might be room for manipulation."

As Chen An pondered this, he picked up a loaf of bread from the table, tore it open, and began to eat.

College students are, after all, much more naive.

[You ate bread, satiety +1]

While eating, he was also keeping an eye on the trading platform.

The piercing laughter outside continued.

Every now and then, the laughing monster would bang on the door and then let out an eerie laugh.

The psychological attack was at its maximum.

But after all this time, his level 2 wooden door hasn't lost any durability, so there's no need to worry about it getting in.

"Let's hold on until tomorrow, see what the rewards are, and then decide what to do next."

Chen An thought to himself.

at this time,

Suddenly, a girl's cries came from the hallway.

"Help! Help me! My door is about to be broken down by a monster! Please, everyone, save me! I'll do anything for you, please..."

no respond.

There was only the laughter of the Laughing Nightmare, and the banging of the door every few tens of seconds.

The girl's cries for help grew increasingly desperate.

Finally, with a loud bang, the door was broken open.

All that could be heard was a desperate and piercing scream.

Then the sound completely disappeared.

Chen An heard it clearly because the girl's room was very close to his, only about two or three rooms away.

But before we could even sigh, the laughter seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Then, two impacts suddenly came from the room next door.

"wrong!"

"Does that mean that once a room is broken open, the Smiling Nightmare will continue to ram other doors with another Smiling Nightmare?!"

Chen An frowned instantly.

This is kind of scary!

If most of the rooms on a floor are breached, and dozens of Nightmares simultaneously ram their own doors, even level two doors might not be able to hold them off for long.

"Damn it! Our durability is almost gone, and we only have enough wood for one more repair. Anyone want to team up with me for a quick fix?!"

Suddenly, shouts came from the stairwell again.

The soundproofing in this shabby room is practically nonexistent.

Therefore, the shouts can be heard very clearly.

The person Chen An heard shouting was the boy next door who was having his door rammed by two laughing menacing figures.

"Stop playing dead! These damn monsters stack! If I die, three monsters will crash into your door at the same time, and you'll all die too!"

"My talent is fire; I can create and control fire. I currently have enough stamina to unleash it for two minutes. If you have the guts, get ready and fight me!"

The boy next door's shout finally had an effect.

A guy from another room chimed in, "Bro, if you're not lying, then I'm sticking with you! Otherwise, I'm just waiting to die!"

"There's no benefit for me in lying to you. All I want right now is to survive! There are two Smiling Nightmares at my door. My level-one wooden door loses one durability point in less than fifteen minutes. It won't last much longer!"

The boy next door muttered curses.

"My talent is weapon enhancement, and I'm currently using a dismantled wooden table as a weapon! Dude, remember to call me when you're about to attack a monster!"

Another boy replied.

"Count me in. My talent is to enhance my own attributes, but I don't know if I can kill this monster."

"Count me in! If we're going to launch an attack, I'll give it my all!"

"And me, my talent is also offensive."

Simultaneously.

Many more people responded.

There was also a rather deep female voice among them.

Although Chen An also wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the laughing man at his door.

But his talent isn't in combat.

They had no weapons.

Opening the door would probably mean delivering vegetables.

So he stared intently into the stairwell through the peephole.
