【No CP + Business Management + Apocalypse】
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 76 Let’s form a team?
After lunch, Ye Qizheng slowly walked downstairs and stood in front of the door of Room 212, his face full of hesitation. He raised his hand and quickly put it down. He failed to knock on the door several times in a row, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
What if he feels that he is too weak and is unwilling to cooperate with me?
Ye Qizhen also felt that his strength was too weak and he didn't have the courage to knock on the door.
Forget it... He should think of other ways.
He cursed himself in his heart for being a coward who didn't even have the courage to knock on the door and ask a question.
At this time, an old lady with her two grandsons came downstairs.
He recognized that this was Grandma Jiang.
"Hello, Grandma Jiang."
Ye Qizheng nodded politely and prepared to go upstairs with a gloomy mood.
"Qi Zheng, wait, grandma has something to ask you."
He stopped and looked back, "Grandma Jiang, what do you say?"
The two little grandsons beside her still looked the same. They were obviously eleven years old, but they were only 1.2 meters tall and looked very shriveled.
Not to mention them, anyone who could survive in that cannibalistic base would look like a skeleton.
Grandma Jiang rubbed her hands and glanced at her grandchildren as if she had made a decision.
"It's like this, kid. I want to bring my two grandchildren with you. We can go out and kill zombies together. We'll each get half of the crystal core. Grandma won't take advantage of you."
Seeing Ye Qi's surprised look, Grandma Jiang was afraid that he would refuse, so she hurriedly spoke again.
"Don't look at me as old as I am, but I'm still very strong! I can easily beat a zombie to death! And my two grandsons both have special abilities! One is fire-type, and the other is ice-type! Even though they're only level one, they can still come in handy!"
"This, this." Ye Qi was unsure for a moment. He wanted to find a companion, but he didn't want to find someone who was much weaker than him. Well, it's not that he was weak, but when it comes to superpowers, he might not be as good as these two kids.
"Grandma, killing zombies isn't that easy. Some zombies are very fast. If you don't dodge them in time, you might lose your life. This is no joke!"
"Grandma knows. I've seen it all. I understand what you mean. Don't worry. If we run into danger while out there, you won't have to worry about us three. Life and death will be up to fate."
Grandma Jiang patted the two children on the back, her face full of love. "Qi Zheng, I'm old and can't protect these two children for too long. The apocalypse is cruel. If I'm gone, and they don't have the ability to survive, I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die. Now is the only time I can teach them as much as I can while I'm still alive. If we really encounter zombies and can't escape, it will be the fate of the three of us, grandparents and grandchildren, and we can't blame anyone else. I will lead them on the road to the underworld."
The children looked at their grandmother sadly, hugged her arms tightly, and rubbed their foreheads against hers, trying to comfort the sad old woman.
Ye Qizheng felt a pang of sadness when he heard this. He worked so hard so that his mother could live a better life. Everyone has the same love for their family.
He thought about why he didn't dare to knock on the door of room 212. The fundamental reason was because he was too weak. How could such a weak person like him look down on the three people who were even weaker than him? Give the two children some time, maybe he will have to rely on them!
"Grandma Jiang, please stop talking. I understand. From now on, we'll go out together. You can take two of the crystal cores you get, and I'll take one."
"No, that won't do. Half for each is fair!"
"Grandma, just listen to me. Your burden is heavier than mine. You take two and I take one. That's it. Otherwise, don't cooperate."
"Well, all right. Then—"
"Help! Help me! There are so many zombies!!"
Suddenly, a loud scream came from the first floor, accompanied by crackling footsteps, and rushed into the hotel door.
This is?
The two looked at each other, seeing the panic in each other's eyes.
At the same time, the customers in the rooms on the second floor heard the scream, hurriedly opened the door, stuck their heads out, and looked around cautiously.
"What happened! Why is someone shouting for help?!"
"No, I don't know. I just heard it too."
"I'll go downstairs and take a look!" Ye Qi took out the axe he carried with him, held it in his hand and rushed downstairs.
Grandma Jiang held her two trembling grandsons in her arms, her legs shaking.
"No, I'm not afraid. It should be fine. Boss Xia said that zombies can't get in."
"Grandma Jiang! Come down quickly! There are zombies!"
Ye Qi's loud shouting voice came from the stairs, with a hint of excitement in his voice, standing out among the noisy voices.
Grandma Jiang immediately understood what he meant and responded quickly.
"Here I come! Dear grandson, kill zombies, earn crystal cores, and buy delicious food!"
She grabbed the two children's hands and rushed downstairs.
The other customers on the second floor looked at each other, wondering why the old lady was so excited about the zombies coming. Were they going to kill zombies?
If an old lady can kill zombies, then they can too! Just leave!
"Girl, take your things and go downstairs! There are zombies! Boy, you come too!"
The father who lived in Room 206 called his two children and asked them to follow him downstairs.
"Mom, are we going too?" The little girl in Room 207 leaned on the door frame and stuck out her pale face.
The woman's face was full of hesitation. After a few seconds, she saw that everyone had left. She made up her mind and said, "Mom, go out. You wait for me at home!"
"No, I'm going too."
"No, you're too weak now. You can't help me if you go. Be good, mommy will be back soon!"
As the woman spoke, she tied her shoelaces, put the room card in her pocket, held her daughter's face and kissed her hard several times, and closed the door tightly, ignoring her crying and frightened daughter.
Downstairs, the originally spacious hall was now crowded with countless people, all talking noisily.
The furry little bear stood at the stairs, guarding against guests who were not staying at the hotel from going upstairs.
The woman recognized that these people were also escapees from the third base, and she thought they wanted to find safety here.
She struggled to push through the crowd and walked towards the door. She could already hear people killing zombies and shouting in surprise when they dug out crystal cores. She had to get out quickly because she was in urgent need of crystal cores.
——
"Quit arguing! Who has a points card? Show it! First come, first served!"
Xia Yan stood behind the cashier counter and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Pairs of hands stretched forward with all their might, holding points cards, crystal cores, gold necklaces, diamond rings, and even teapots made of red sandalwood. They wanted to reach directly to her face.
She took a half step back and quickly grabbed the hand holding the points card.
"It's you! Everyone else, step back!"
“Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!!”
Xia Yan shouted angrily and stepped back, and those hands finally withdrew, looking at her eagerly, and then looking at the person who was named enviously.
"You, how many people are there?"
