Xiao Jin struggled for over a decade in the apocalypse before perishing with the Zombie King. To her surprise, she woke up, reborn into a world without zombies.
Before she could even bother w...
After Xiao Jin and the others entered, the staff outside left.
Everyone frowned and stared at the newly released guesthouse rules on the panel.
Cui Mingyang was the first to look up: "It seems this guesthouse is indeed not an easy place to stay. What are your thoughts on the rules?"
Xu Qing looked at the surrounding facilities with disdain: "It's practically saying outright that this place is haunted. If you want to survive, you have to follow their rules!"
"Do you think the rules listed here are credible?" Cui Mingyang asked.
Xiao Jin raised her eyes: "Do as instructed first, and I will test the waters if necessary."
"Ugh, let's rest, let's rest, I'm so sleepy." At this moment, Luo Bin grumbled from the side, hunched over.
"I'm so hungry and tired right now. The recovery items can only restore my physical health, but they can't relieve my mental stress!"
Tong Xiaolu: "So what? Are you going to sleep now?"
Xiao Jin slowly said, "Go to sleep, there's no problem."
She turned to look at the kitchen window: "The rules are basically that you have to wait until after 10 o'clock. They should be serving food at the window. Let's eat something first and then go rest."
After hearing Xiao Jin's words, the group seemed to be deep in thought, while Xu Qing glanced at the unfamiliar player without leaving a trace.
"Okay, let's eat first, then take a nap. We'll meet in the lobby before midnight to go out and participate in the 'Cursed Night' project."
Seemingly sensing the hidden meaning in their words, everyone fell silent.
Passing through the dining table, Xiao Jin and the others arrived at the restaurant window, and sure enough, it was the familiar taste again.
The kitchen glass at the back wasn't transparent; half of a body was visible through the small window. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the amusement park's exclusive uniform, which Xiao Jin and the others had seen at the food stalls before.
“It’s also for ordering food.” Luo Bin pointed to the panel next to him, which had a card reader.
He then attached the card, and after that, he could place orders on the control panel.
"Hmm~" Luo Bin flipped through the list: "Let's have a seafood fried rice, and a cold tripe salad. Beer is fine, but sparkling water is okay."
The people behind him rolled their eyes at him.
Isn't your acting a bit too exaggerated?
Then, everyone ordered their food in turn.
While ordering food, Xiao Jin and the others kept their eyes fixed on the people inside.
Soon, Tong Xiaolu and Cui Mingyang got their dinners, but when it was Xu Qing's turn, a problem arose.
Xu Qing held the bowl of rice mixed with vegetable soup in her hand and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
At that moment, he was about to reach for the plate at the window.
Just as Xu Qing picked up his plate, a thin, bony hand suddenly reached out from the window, like a withered branch in the night, trying to grab his wrist.
Xu Qing was startled and reflexively pulled her hand back quickly. The movement was so big that her whole body swayed slightly, and the soup and water naturally splashed out.
"What do you mean?" Xu Qing asked, staring directly at the figure inside the window.
Inside the window, the face hidden in the shadows seemed to be emitting a low, hoarse laugh, a laugh tinged with mockery and provocation.
“‘I think you’re eating just right like this.’” The hoarse voice pierced through the wall, carrying a hint of barely perceptible malice.
"Heh~" Xu Qing's voice turned cold, and he said sarcastically.
"What do you think? Who do you think you are? Do you expect me to tell you how I should eat?" His tone was full of disdain and contempt.
Seeing this, Cui Mingyang reached out and grabbed Xu Qing's arm: "Alright, hurry up and make the call."
Upon hearing this, the person inside took a deep breath: "Is that all you've got? You coward!"
Unfortunately, no matter how eloquently he pleaded, Xu Qing had no intention of paying him any attention. He decisively walked to the landline by the front door; the complaint hotline was displayed on the wall.
The call was answered shortly after it was dialed, and then a completely emotionless female voice came through.
"Hello, this is the complaint handling office for the Paradise Homestay. How can I help you?"
Xu Qing then told her about the window staff member.
"Okay, we understand. We will replace the staff for you immediately..." The phone was then hung up.
Xu Qing turned around and exchanged glances with the people around her.
After I made the complaint call, the person at the window didn't say anything more until a new plate was handed out.
Xiao Jin and the others did not notice when the exchange of people inside had been completed.
So secretive!
Seeing this, the group didn't say anything more and finished taking their meals as usual.
Holding the food, Xiao Jin said calmly, "I'm tired. I'll eat in my room later. Please help yourselves."
"Uh..." Tong Xiaolu looked left and right, "Then I'll go back to my room to eat too."
The others followed suit, carrying their trays and searching for their rooms according to the information on their check-in cards.
The villa has three floors, with two rooms on each floor. On the first floor, besides the dining room, storage room, and lounge area, the remaining two rooms belong to Cui Mingyang and Tong Xiaolu.
The second floor was given to Luo Bin and Xu Qing. On the same floor, there was also a music room with a piano and guitars.
Those living on the third floor were naturally Xiao Jin and Yin Qiu.
Yin Qiu was a refined and cultured woman. She spoke very little and didn't say anything even though she knew that Xiao Jin and the others seemed to have a good relationship.
After nodding to Xiao Jin, he swiped his card and entered his room.
Watching her figure disappear, Xiao Jin turned to look around the third floor. Her room and Yin Qiu's room were facing each other, and the room to their side should be the e-sports room according to the rules.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Jin didn't go to her own room first, but instead went to the e-sports room and turned the doorknob.
The next moment, she opened the door, and the next second after the door opened, all the lights inside turned on instantly. Xiao Jin subconsciously squinted.
Esports rooms are notorious for their light pollution.
Colorful ambient lighting, and six computers neatly arranged on the game table against the wall.
On the other side of the wall, there is a large projection screen, a game console, a controller, a small sofa, and even a refrigerator.
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow, but instead of going in, she came out and closed the door.
Back in her room, Xiao Jin was still thinking, "It's nothing special, just ordinary." She had initially thought that since the rules mentioned e-sports rooms, there would be something special inside.
Since it wasn't during the alert period, she decided to investigate first.
Xiao Jin thought for a moment and realized that perhaps things wouldn't change until after nine o'clock.
Not only was she tempted to investigate, but Cui Mingyang and Tong Xiaolu on the first floor were as well.
The two first arrived at the door of the warehouse located at the very end.
Two of the rules in the guesthouse regulations relate to it, which is enough to show the danger of the warehouse.
Unfortunately, when the two arrived, they found that the warehouse door was completely locked, with an old-fashioned iron padlock that held the tangled chains shut and was covered in rust.
