Chapter 38: Staying in a hotel?

Xia Yan was engrossed in watching a variety show downstairs, and had no idea that Feng Tianxi and the other man were wandering around in the corridor.

It was not until after 9 o'clock when she was so sleepy that she turned off the TV and drove them upstairs to rest.

"Go to bed now, the TV will be on all day tomorrow!"

Jing Yimai and Zhang Lei went upstairs reluctantly.

Xia Yan called Xiong Xiong to clean up the hall. She stretched and prepared to close the door.

"System, how many points were credited today?"

[Today's turnover is 820, current progress bar: 5909/8000]

Xia Yan didn't expect that he would be upgraded again soon after he had just upgraded.

I still have to thank Jing Yimai for his strong support!

She plans to meet “rich people” in the future and try to get them to book rooms for a few more months. The points she will earn will definitely be a lot!

Xia Yan was in a good mood, humming a little tune as he grasped the doorknob, ready to lock the door and go to sleep. His eyes casually swept across the tattered window frame of the shop next door, paused, took a closer look, and pushed the door open again.

"Are you planning to stay at the hotel? We're about to close for the day."

After a few seconds of silence, the white paint fell off, revealing the scarlet bricks underneath. An old woman poked her head out, her hair tangled and messy, sticking out like an afro on top of her head.

"Accommodation? How much does it cost?" The old woman looked around tremblingly. Night was falling, and the zombies would go rampage. They could no longer stay on the street.

Feng Tianxi and his daughter entered this hotel and never left. Could this really be a hotel that provides accommodation?

The old woman hid behind the wall, her body tightly blocking the boy's way. She was trembling like a hamster forced into a corner.

"Yes, the shop provides accommodation. A single room only costs 30 points per person." Xia Yan took out a flashlight and turned on the switch to illuminate the entire street.

Seeing the old woman shrinking back behind the wall with fear on her face, Xia Yan spoke gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm just here to light the way for you. Do you need a place to stay? If not, the inn will be closed."

In fact, Xia Yan just wanted to see clearly what the old woman had been blocking.

Through the bright light, she discovered that the person hiding was a boy in his teens. His thin face made his chin look even sharper, his mouth was tightly pursed into a straight line, and his big eyes sparkled like obsidian in the light.

Although he was afraid, he was trying his best to stop his trembling body. His eyes were fixed on Xia Yan, and his whole body was tense, like an arrow ready to be shot, waiting for the order to break free from the bow and rush out.

Xia Yan withdrew his gaze and lost interest. After counting to ten in his heart, the two still did not move, so he closed the door.

The door was locked with a click, and Xia Yan turned off the light. She asked Xiong Xiong to stay at the door and watch over the place. If there was any unusual movement, he had to subdue the person first and then notify her.

Anyway, the hotel's defense system is always on, so Xia Yan is not worried, as long as the culprit can't escape.

The two people hiding in the shabby shop outside the door saw that the female boss was not as enthusiastic as they had expected to invite them to stay, but instead turned off the lights and went back to sleep.

For a moment, the two of them stared at the hotel that was out of tune with the surroundings and did not dare to take it lightly.

"Little one, did you see that? Feng Tianxi and the other one went in and never came out, right?" The old woman tried to speak softly, for fear of attracting zombies.

The boy nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the exquisite decoration behind the transparent glass under the moonlight.

Bright floors, clean and comfortable sofas, a whole row of brand new machines, and the drinking water machine in the front even has its light on.

What are those two machines next to it for? Why are their screens still on?

Moreover, Feng Tianxi had taken something out from inside before, with a look of shock and surprise on his face.

That machine must have some secret!

He noticed that the female boss only hung a simple lock on the door, and the glass did not look bulletproof. Why not wait until they fell asleep and then throw a stone at it and see what happens?

The boy seriously considered the possibility, but quickly discarded the idea.

There was no other way. He had been hungry for several days. He had used up all his luck to be able to walk here safely with his mother. After breaking the glass, he and his mother couldn't run far, so forget it.

The boy shifted his gaze, preparing to find a relatively safe place to spend the night.

Although he and his mother rarely lived alone outside the base, he often heard Xiaojie talk about things outside.

The most urgent thing is to find a safer place to avoid the zombies running rampant at night.

After pulling his mother up, he looked towards the hotel cautiously, preparing to go out and find another safe place.

Suddenly, a big bear walked out from the darkness of the hotel. It was covered with fur. It walked to the door with two thick, long, hairy legs and stood still. Its big head slowly rotated, and it observed the outside through its black bean-like eyes.

Caught off guard, the boy met the big bear's dark eyes. His whole body stiffened instantly, his hair stood on end, and cold sweat broke out.

Well, what is that thing!

A sense of crisis crept up the back of the boy's neck. He was unable to move and stood there in a daze. His mother was just like him, not daring to move.

They heard from people in the base that some people's special ability is to tame wild beasts and make them work for them. In return, the owner has to provide meat to the wild beasts to prevent them from being eaten.

Could it be that they were so unlucky that they encountered a wild beast?

Beads of sweat slid down the boy's forehead. His fingers moved slightly, and a pure green supernatural power gradually condensed between his fingers.

His special ability is forced communication, which allows him to forcibly use communication skills compared to his lower-level counterparts.

Obviously, this is aimed at people with super powers. After all, zombies have no brains, so communication is useless.

As a result, all teams were not only unwilling to take him with them, but also rejected him.

The boy, sweating profusely, placed the green energy on his forehead, his eyes locked on the raging bear. He prayed frantically that the bear's ability level wasn't high enough to force him to communicate. While the chances of that happening were slim, it was still...

"Monster... come quickly..."

The boy was stunned. Did he actually hear a sound just now?

Did forced communication succeed? !

"Repeat what you just said." The boy suppressed his excitement. He didn't hear clearly just now. What monster?

"The monsters you fear...eat...a lot...come on."

An electronic sound that couldn't be distinguished between male and female rang directly in his mind, and he finally heard it clearly this time.

Monsters? Was he talking about zombies? Zombies are coming?! Lots of them?!

The boy's face turned pale, his hands and feet were cold, and he grabbed his mother's hand and ran out.

After running a few steps, he was stunned again.

Where can they go? There's no place to hide!

The boy vaguely heard the chaotic sounds coming from the street outside, mixed with the roars of zombies running rampant. What should he do...

Seeing that he was not in good condition, his mother had a vague suspicion that something bad was happening. Her face also turned pale, and the dim light in her eyes almost disappeared.

The zombie group was getting closer and closer, and the roars were even ringing in our ears.

The boy's legs went weak and he wanted to pull his mother into a shop nearby.

Several zombies appeared at the end of the street.

The moonlight tonight was very dazzling. Even at such a distance, the boy could easily see the zombie's skinless face covered with black and gray muscle tissue, bulging eyeballs, and sharp teeth. It opened its mouth wide and roared at them, then staggered and ran towards them.

"Run...run, little one..."
