Task issued - New World Task: Open a hotel in the apocalypse.
Xia Yan: You said it was a vacation? Where's the scenery? Is it zombies?...
Chapter 67 Check-in 2
Handing Wang Xuewei the room card of 307, Xia Yan called the last person in the team.
"Li Qiang, are you alone? Living in a single room?"
Li Qiang shook her head and took the hand of the man next to her, "My partner and I will be staying in a double room!"
The crowd felt unhappy. There were fewer and fewer double rooms. They had realized that Boss Xia prioritized people he knew. Damn it, he should have established a good relationship with Captain Qi Hua before!
“50 points, room 308.”
"Thank you, Boss Xia!" Li Qiang pulled her boyfriend out of the crowd and walked upstairs, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
"Boss Xia, it's my turn! I have a card!"
"No, Boss Xia, look at me! I have a level 2 crystal core!"
"Don't push! Me!"
Xia Yan didn't bother to control the situation. He scanned the crowd and grabbed a hand from among the outstretched hands. "How many of you are there?"
The one caught by Xia Yan was Grandma Jiang.
Grandma Jiang excitedly pushed aside the people around her, handed the secondary crystal core in her hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Three people, a double room."
Seeing Grandma Jiang alone all the time, Xia Yan thought her two grandsons were gone, so she leaned forward.
Seeing this, Grandma Jiang hurriedly lifted up her grandson's armpits so that Xia Yan could see him more easily.
The two thin little boys had terribly dry and chapped lips, drooping eyelids, and looked extremely tired.
Xia Yan glanced at it for a moment and then looked away. He took the crystal core from Grandma Jiang and topped up her points card. "There are three of you, so the total is 80 points. Is that acceptable?"
"Yes, yes." Grandma Jiang forced a smile on her wrinkled face. Her dry lips were torn in an instant, but there was no blood on them.
"Okay, go to the third floor. It's room 309."
Grandma Jiang took the card, nodded, dragged her tired body, and pulled her equally uncomfortable grandchildren to leave.
"By the way, Grandma Jiang, you can go to the water dispenser and swipe a point to get some water." Xia Yan nonchalantly asked Xiong Xiong to help, "Next customer."
"Boss Xia, please give me a room! Please!" A woman with withered hair held a little girl with sunken cheeks and unable to open her eyes, and shouted desperately, "My child is dying, please, Boss Xia!"
"Boss Xia, please give me a room! I have children at home!"
"Please, Boss Xia, I need a room too!"
Seeing that the old lady and her grandson were arranged into rooms, everyone was very anxious and looked at the old lady with envy. They already had water to drink!
"Don't argue yet. Stand with your family. I'll assign rooms based on the number of people."
There was a crowd of people in front of the checkout counter, and she couldn't tell which people were together.
As soon as the words fell, the group of people separated instantly, keeping a distance from the people next to them.
There was just enough room for two groups of three, three groups of two, and three solo individuals.
"Don't worry, everyone can move in. You come first." Xia Yan waved to a group of three, who were a couple with an elderly person, and arranged for them to stay in the last double room 310.
Another group of three could only be accommodated in single room 206. This group consisted of a father with two children, one big and one small.
Xia Yan also promised on the spot that as long as there were double rooms available, she would give them priority to stay there.
The remaining ones are groups of two: the woman who just hugged the crying little girl is staying in room 207, room 208 is a young couple, room 209 is an elderly couple with gray hair, room 210 is a middle-aged man, room 211 is a single young woman, and room 212 is a boy of 15 or 16 years old.
The first thing the person who got the room card did was to run to the water dispenser, fill a glass of water, and drink it all in a few gulps.
The clear water flowed across their dry and painful throats, moistened their esophagus and flowed into their stomachs. This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made them want to cry.
After a thrilling day, I finally feel the reality of being alive.
Xia Yan called Xiong Xiong and asked it to go upstairs and call down all the customers who were checking in today. She had not had time to inform them of the store's rules, so she took the opportunity to gather everyone together and explain everything at once while these people were still in the hall.
"Everyone please wait here for a moment. I have something to inform you of in advance."
After a while, customers came down one after another. They looked at the clean and tidy sofas, then looked down at their dirty clothes. They didn't dare to sit on them, so they just found a place to sit on the floor in the hall.
Qi Hua didn't know why Boss Xia called them, but he and his family were already shocked by the luxurious decoration in the room.
This place is completely different from where he lived before!
Qi's father and mother, who had originally been reluctant to come here, were speechless. This place was even better than their own house in peacetime!
Now they are extremely glad that they listened to their son and did not go to the Shangyang base. They are not exaggerating, no base can compare to the hotel!
Qi Hua wasn't the only one who was stunned the moment the door opened. Wang Xuewei, Wang Yi, and Li Qiang were all stunned. Was this the same shabby hotel they'd stayed in before? How long had it been? The changes were outrageous!
Seeing that everyone was present, Xia Yan coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry for calling everyone back down. I wanted to tell everyone about the store rules. Captain Qi Hua, please read them out first."
She pointed to the sign on the wall.
Qi Hua stood up and obediently read out loud, "The shop rules are as follows: Article 1... Article 4... One-day trip to the zombie circle."
"Thank you, Captain Qi Hua. Everyone, please note that the store rules are not written for fun. Please strictly abide by them. If anyone violates the store rules, I will not be polite."
Xia Yan's face was serious, and his attitude was very serious. "Previously, a customer named Feng Tianxi seriously violated the store rules and has been punished. Please watch the surveillance video and hope he will serve as a warning to you."
The surveillance footage of that day appeared on the white wall. The footage showed Feng Tianxi making a scene in the restaurant, with clear picture quality and loud sound.
"That's really Feng Tianxi!"
The old couple in room 210 exclaimed in surprise.
"It's really him! I haven't seen him for a long time. Turns out he came here!"
"You deserve it!"
"Good death!"
The customers recognized Feng Tianxi and gathered in groups of three or five to discuss in low voices.
Xia Yan sat on the sofa, watching the surveillance video expressionlessly, pretending not to hear the discussions.
Soon, Feng Tianxi suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar square. A large group of level 5 zombies surrounded him. He ran away in fear, throwing things in resistance, and finally fell from a height with blood all over his face. His wide-open eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear before he died.
Since some time ago, the hall has been silent. The only sounds that can be heard are Feng Tianxi's weak escape, his desperate cries for help, and the hoarse roars of the zombies.
His fear, terror, and urgent desire to survive were tangible and surrounded everyone's hearts through the picture. Their hearts were tightly gripped, as if it was not Feng Tianxi who was running, but them.
