Chapter 403 Ran Away

Suddenly, she gasped, took a few steps back, and pointed at Xia Yan.

"I've seen you before! Aren't you the owner of that hotel? How did you get here?"

The woman clearly remembered the face of the female owner who appeared in mid-air to promote the restaurant. At that time, she was still disdainful and certain that it was a scam.

Just spending a few crystal cores can provide food and drink? Who knows, they might be some shady people selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat! Why, seeing that they refused to be fooled, they came here to deceive them personally?

But these people who moved in were so poor that they couldn't even afford to wear shorts. They could feel the flesh on their thighs when they reached into their pockets. They had no food to eat and were so hungry that they were barely surviving. What was the point of tricking them into moving in?

Is there a treasure here that I don’t know the value of?

The woman's thoughts were in a mess, with countless ideas flying through her mind in a few seconds.

Xia Yan nodded and said, "I'll go get some things from them."

The woman was surprised. She had guessed right. There really was a treasure in the store!

The two men next to him looked unhappy, revealing a sense of reluctance.

Wow, there are treasures even in the dirt.

She stretched out her short, stubby hands, grabbed the sides of the table, lifted it up, and moved it aside, clearing the pristine dirt road.

Xia Yan winked, and the third and second brother walked in without delay. Two meters behind the entrance were stairs leading upwards. Like the exterior of the building, the hard earth steps had a smooth surface and were a downward slope after being stepped on for a long time.

There are no handrails on the stairs, so you have to be careful on your own.

Hearing the noise, Xia Yan turned around and found the female boss following behind him. He grinned when he saw her and said, "I'm patrolling the building."

Xia Yan was silent, "Okay."

The two people in front stopped at the door of the west room, waiting for Xia Yan to come over and push open the door made of wooden sticks.

Xia Yan looked at the small piece of steel wire used as a lock and doubted the security that this door could provide.

The female boss said behind him: "This thing, emm, can only protect against gentlemen but not villains, and we have security guards on duty at night——"

"Woof-woof!"

Xia Yan walked quickly onto the platform, and when he looked up, he met the eyes of a small local dog that was completely black except for a patch of yellow hair on its forehead.

"This is...?"

"Yes, my good darling, come here." The female boss clapped her hands and called the dog. The dog jumped down from the stairs upstairs and jumped into her arms, wagging its tail desperately. Its round eyes were always staring at Xia Yan, as if it was very wary of her unfamiliar face.

At this time, Xia Yan saw a small round badge hanging around the dog's neck. He looked at it carefully and was speechless.

My goodness, this dog's name is Security Guard...

"security guard?"

The dog pricked up its ears and barked at her excitedly twice, almost shaking its tail off.

Xia Yan: "...It's a good dog."

The female boss was a little embarrassed. After she left, she patted the dog's butt a few times and scolded it, "You are so enthusiastic and wag your tail at everyone you meet. Be careful that the bad guys will bite off half of your tail..."

The room is very clean and you can see the whole thing at a glance.

It is ten square meters, with four beds and only one cabinet for storing miscellaneous items, that's all.

Xia Yan frowned, "Where's the crystal core?"

Maybe someone has turned this place over. The bed and cabinets are very messy, as if they were hit by a tornado. Even if there really is a crystal core, it would have been stolen long ago.

The two were also shocked and started moving the bed while cursing.

The boss, who had arrived late, slapped his thigh when he saw what was happening inside and cursed, "It must have been those two guys! I was wondering why they were leaving in the middle of the day, braving the sun. Damn it, leaving me with such a mess."

Xia Yan looked out the window into the distance, and all he could see was a loess slope. Only in the extremely far distance could he see the staggering figures of zombies. How could there be any customers coming to such a remote place?

After hearing her question, the female boss scratched her hair and said a little irritably, "There are only a few people here all day long. If it weren't for the connection between the two major bases, this business wouldn't be able to continue."

"Then how do you get your daily food and drink supplies?"

"There are teams. If they bring more supplies, I'll buy some. If they don't, they'll starve. You have too many questions. I won't be able to answer any of your next questions."

The female boss was visibly irritable and couldn't wait to end the topic. She pursed her lips and had a cold face, keeping people at a distance, for fear that she would continue to ask questions, such as why she opened a store here.

Everyone has secrets. Do I have to tell them to every person I meet?

Although she tried to calm down, her defenses soon broke down.

"What are you two doing? Why are you digging a hole? This house is thin, don't dig through it! You're committing a sin."

It turned out that after the third brother and his partner moved the bed away, they started digging holes everywhere. The already uneven ground was now full of potholes, which made the female boss so angry that she jumped to her feet.

But in the blink of an eye, she was so shocked that she shut her mouth. "Well, you two little bastards, you actually hid the crystal core in the pit! You destroyed my room. This room is uninhabitable. You must compensate me!"

The man with a thin voice wiped his face with his hands covered in yellow dirt, hiding his excitement. "Aunt, your words don't count. These crystal cores belong to Boss Xia, and we have no say in the matter."

The third brother put all the crystal cores he had dug out into Xia Yan's hands. "Boss Xia, all the wealth of the four of us is here. Please count them. These high-level crystal cores are definitely enough to cover the losses."

Xia Yan opened her pocket and looked inside. Sure enough, there were mostly level three crystal cores. She tightened the bag, tossed it up and down in her hand, and finally threw it into the system grid.

The female boss standing by was practically staring with fascination. With so many crystal cores, they were definitely enough to last him three months! Seeing the bag disappear, she was very dissatisfied. "Boss Xia, they damaged my floor, so they should compensate me first. You should at least give me five, six, seven, or eight crystal cores. Why are you eating all of them yourself?"

Xia Yan raised his eyes, warning: "What did you say? Eating alone?"

This is the end of the world, everything depends on strength. Can these three words be said casually?

The local dog squatting at the female boss's feet with squinted eyes felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and bared its teeth and roared at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan glanced down fiercely, without suppressing the murderous rage that had pierced countless people with his sword.

"Woof—woof, woof." The local dog hid behind its owner with its tail between its legs and kept howling.

The female boss was frightened by her two extreme changes in aura, and realized that this person was not as easy to talk to as she looked. She couldn't help but curse herself in her heart for being deceived by her appearance, lowering her defenses and saying things she shouldn't have said!

Just say that these psychics are the most hateful, they can always make the other person show their true self.

"Actually, compensation is not necessary. I was just excited at the moment. You are a businessman and you should understand me." When the female boss was still racking her brains to find an excuse, a roar suddenly exploded in her ears.

"He's run away! Go chase him!"
