People really shouldn't say things carelessly...
After barely surviving one life-or-death ordeal after another in an endless Apocalypse, Lin Yu spent a long time regretting the time she had jokingly wished for the Apocalypse to arrive after losing it while cramming for finals.
Her words came true. After facing zombies and overcoming countless hardships, Lin Yu finally made it back to the dorm alive with her roommates, only to learn that they had lost their one chance to leave. Losers in the beginner trial would automatically be sent out, but they had passed and earned their tickets to the infinite world: the kind that came with forced purchase.
Fortunately, all four of them had different personalities but shared the habit of stockpiling supplies. Their dorm room, 404, also traveled with them through the infinite worlds as a safe house. Looking at the description of their first instance, Famine, Lin Yu felt they could probably keep laying low for a while longer.
Later, watching their iron tank charge ahead like a mad dog without a care for her teammates, their glass-cannon DPS flee for dear life and die from a single touch, and their crowd-control support stand off to the side, ominously egging on and insulting the NPCs, one victimized roommate could only think: As the most normal person in the dorm, what else could she do? She could only toss them a quick heal.
System: Is this what you call surviving one life-or-death ordeal after another? I'm so mad.
*One life-or-death ordeal after another: Nine deaths in the instance, but they all make it out alive together.

With nightmare-level instances disappearing in droves lately, a legend began circulating in the infinite world about a mysterious group known by the codename 404:
Some said they were the secret bosses behind the two opposing factions that could never coexist.
Some said they were administrators hidden where the System couldn't see, in a place marked "not found."
Others claimed they were actually the native ghosts of Dorm 404, infiltrating the players from within a paranormal instance.
Four hapless souls whose dorm number happened to be 404, wanted by powerful factions for clearing instances too quickly and upsetting their interests, said: No. But... maybe we could give it a try?
When Lin Yu finally cleared the instances with her roommates and returned to the real world, she even gave the investigators from the relevant department a friendly welcome, enthusiastically inviting them in for a little sit-down.
The ordinary iron door of 404 slowly swung open. The investigators stared at the safe house before them: two floors, two courtyards, chickens and ducks, vegetable plots, even an energy shield and a photon cannon. Their mouths twitched. Seriously, ladies? You call this a dorm?

Let's all chant 404's motto: Apart, we each live our own peaceful lives. Together, we make sure the whole world is in chaos!
[Note: Most instances are not typical natural-disaster Apocalypse settings, and are closer to traditional infinite-flow instances.]
[Instance One and the interlude world are complete.]
[Instance Two is complete.]
If you're waiting to binge-read, at least come back and check in after each instance, please! Rankings during serialization are really, really important! T_T
Female dorm ensemble cast + infinite flow + safe house + stockpiling supplies, all mixed together

Want to know what happens next? Check out my upcoming novel, [Apocalypse: Twenty Thousand Miles Home], a no-romance Apocalypse road story with a female lead. It shares this novel's worldbuilding, but can be read on its own. A female student studying abroad makes her way home through the Apocalypse! To let the world know she's safe, she keeps doing reckless things just to get the world system to announce her! Fight monsters, level up, and return home, with a cast of superpowered characters, an RV, and stockpiled supplies. Everything you love is here!
There's also a body-swap story about a married couple on opposite sides of the battlefield, with enough conflict to wipe out nine generations of their families: [The Empress Really Is Ambitious]. Childhood sweethearts, the emperor and empress, grow apart amid the trials of power and time. One day, they swap bodies, and from each other's perspective they finally realize... there was never any misunderstanding between them at all!
A story about an empress who wants to rebel and an emperor who wants to wipe out the empress's entire family, periodically swapping bodies. After their bodies switch back for good, the heroine will ascend the throne.
Theme: We must become stronger.
What a spiritual and creative copy!
In this copy, it is already known that the three people working in the company have quit their jobs. The world the three of them live in may be the real world, but the world in Shengxia's eyes while working in the coffee shop is still false, and nothing is happening outside. So how can they get home safely??? So curious? If Sheng Xia resigns, the four of them will have to evade pursuit, but this time the dungeon still has daily rental fees to pay. How can they get through this? There must be another clue in the coffee shop. . .
After saving for a long time, I opened it and found that there was no progress and ended it. It was almost over and I still didn't understand this copy. Come on, author, finish it quickly. See you in the next copy.
It stands to reason that Shengxia and Song Hui's spirit value is higher than that of Lin Yu and Bai Zhou, but Lin Yu and Bai Zhou both noticed this flowerpot, but Shengxia and Song Hui never noticed this flowerpot. Why didn't those with high spirit value notice the flowerpot?
Great, you're finally back. Congratulations on finding a job 🎆
Hhhh Then I will dream about a day of 6
[Afraid] [Afraid] [Afraid] Are all four people dead?
Is this a real past event or a copy? [It's changed] I'm confused.
Autumn recruitment is indeed difficult. I wish the teacher will receive his favorite offer as soon as possible [Rose]
It's nice to look at, but there's no way to take any supplements QAQ
