Chapter 8 A Guest Arrives

Qi Hua stared ahead vigilantly, raised his hand slightly, and signaled everyone to keep quiet and hide.

Not far away, more than ten second- and third-level zombies gathered together, roaring angrily at a certain point.

The team members were startled when they heard the noise, and when they saw Qi Hua's gesture, they turned around immediately and planned to take a detour back to the base.

It's so unlucky that I keep encountering groups of zombies... Feng Bei glared at the air unhappily and cursed the person who caused the zombie riot in his heart.

Qi Hua stayed at the rear of the team, looking back from time to time to see if the zombies had discovered them.

Their team was weak, and there were two purely auxiliary girls in it. In this situation, they could only run, and they were afraid that they would be discovered by the zombies if they ran too slowly.

After the apocalypse, being alive is good enough, let alone sacrificing oneself for others.

Qi Hua said that was a scam for fools.

But he thought of someone who had amazing resources and charged extremely low fees.

That guy is also a fool. He doesn't hide the good stuff but sells it at a low price!

I'm afraid that if he hands over the supplies this time, it will immediately attract the attention of the higher-ups.

By then, she, a skinny girl, won't be able to protect it...

Qi Hua dispelled the trace of regret in his heart.

He wanted to hide his selfish motives and keep this secret to himself, but...

Qi Hua glanced at Feng Bei's back subtly. Her father held some official position and was reportedly vying for the top position, and was worried about his lack of performance...

Feng Bei was also thinking about this.

She wanted to hide this secret so that she would not have to worry about food and drink in the future. Moreover, as long as there was food, all kinds of men would rush to cling to her. Why should she cling to Qi Hua?

But she knew her father too well.

My father is a real official fan. He was just a small official before the doomsday and was always depressed that he could not be promoted. After the doomsday, he adapted very quickly. When he heard that the newly built base was recruiting personnel, he handed over all the food in his home and exchanged it for an official position.

Once, after drinking too much wine given by someone else, my father beat his chest and cried, saying that he would always remember my mother's sacrifice. Without my mother's sacrifice, he would not be where he is today.

And how did she do it?

Smiling, he poured him another glass of wine.

Feng Bei shook his head, forcing himself not to think about it anymore.

......

"Great news, those people are gone." Li Shenglong continued to stare at the sight, but changed the direction.

"Well, let's do it." Tai Xixin took a deep puff of the cigarette butt, threw it on the ground, picked up the samurai sword beside him, and blew the smoke on it.

The sharp blade was instantly covered with a layer of golden light, making it look even sharper.

Li Shenglong aimed at the highest-level zombie and killed it with one blow.

After Tai Xixin had killed all the high-level zombies, he jumped from the second floor with a knife in hand and landed steadily on the ground. Facing the zombies that were rushing towards him with a ferocious look, he killed them with every blow of his knife.

After losing the main force of level 3 zombies, more than ten zombies became even more vulnerable. Facing the ferocious level 3 mutant, they were like toads that could only pounce on people and could only jump a few times.

It took about two minutes before this one-sided massacre ended.

Li Shenglong carried the sniper rifle on his shoulder and started digging crystal cores with him.

"Great! We've gained a lot this time. Do you want to go to the nearest base to rest?"

Tai Xixin flicked the ginger-colored crystal core in his hand and looked up at the sky.

"No, I need to collect some more crystal cores. The hot season is coming soon, and it will be difficult to go out."

Li Shenglong thought about the date and was surprised to find that July was almost here. The temperature from July to September every year is frighteningly high, basically 60 degrees every day, and can even reach 70 degrees at noon.

Thinking of this, his hands moved a little faster.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place!"

The two men put the crystal core into a sealed pocket and kept it close to their bodies, then turned around and continued looking for zombies.

This area is where the zombies are most concentrated, and most of the crystal cores circulating in the nearby bases are produced here.

It was probably because the hot season was approaching, and they actually met several groups of people along the way, some of whom were small teams like them, and some were powerful lone wolves.

Everyone turned a blind eye.

Fortunately, there are enough zombies here, so no vicious robberies have occurred.

After collecting another wave of crystal cores, Tai Xixin wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around vigilantly, and whispered, "The lone ranger I just met was a level five boss."

Li Shenglong, who was drinking water, choked and said, "Ahem... What?! Level 5?!"

Tai Xixin's eyes were filled with admiration as he nodded with certainty, "Absolutely! His aura is incredibly powerful! I wonder when I can reach level 5."

Becoming strong is the goal of countless people with special abilities.

This is the third time he has seen a level 5 expert. If he is given some more time, he will become a dominant figure!

"Well, we should stay hidden from now on. Even the Level 5 people are out collecting crystal cores. Did they hear some insider information that this year's hot season will be difficult?"

Li Shenglong's face gradually became serious, and an unprecedented sense of crisis came over him.

Hearing this, the raging fire in Tai Xixin's eyes was extinguished, and his face turned pale when he recalled the hot season two years ago.

"No way... again?"

Both of them trembled all over, their faces looked ugly, and they didn't have time to rest. Their eyes were slightly red as they killed the zombies.

......

[There is a customer knocking on the door outside the store]

Xia Yan, who was curled up in the sofa and enjoying the breeze, suddenly heard the ding-dong sound of the system.

Hmm? Could it be that the team is back?

She mumbled as she left the soft sofa and walked out of her room in her slippers.

In the hotel corridor, she could clearly hear knocking on the door.

"Coming!" she replied loudly.

Hey, big brother, please stop knocking. The glass door won’t tolerate knocks!

The person outside stopped knocking on the door after hearing her voice.

It was not until Xia Yan walked into the hall that he saw clearly that the person knocking on the door was not the team, but a tall man dressed in black, wearing a mask and a hat.

The man was also staring at her intently, examining her silently.

Xia Yan picked up the key from the counter, walked to the door and unlocked it.

"Please step back a few steps, sir." She waved her finger at him.

The man obediently took two steps back and looked up at the sign again.

A resort hotel? Newly opened?

Through the clean glass, he could clearly see the three machines standing against the wall inside.

Let’s not talk about the two machines with pictures of various delicacies, but what about the water dispenser, with a full bucket of water, placed so openly under other people’s noses?

Moreover, the female boss looked very young, but she had a rosy complexion, was dressed cleanly and exuded a fresh fragrance, had clear eyes, and had very slender fingers without calluses.

But he didn't see her rank.

"Are you here to stay?" Xia Yan invited him into the house and gestured for him to look at the sign hanging behind the cashier counter. It listed the charges for single and double rooms, and next to it was a flowchart for becoming a member of the hotel.

Even if the customer is illiterate, the simple pictures above can make the customer understand.

The price per night for a single room is 30 points, and for a double room it is 50 points.

Because the hotel has been upgraded and the equipment in the room has been replaced with new ones, the price has also increased.

Jing Yimai finished reading in silence, then looked at the girl behind the cashier with his dark eyes and asked, "Can I see the room first?"

This is a "wonderful person", he actually focuses on this.

Xia Yan was also surprised by his deep, rich, and magnetic voice. "Of course, would you like a single room or a double room?"

"Double room."

"Okay, please follow me."

Xia Yan walked out of the cashier counter and led the way.

Jing Yimai turned her head slightly and glanced at the wide-open door. She just left like that, as if she was not afraid at all that someone would come in and take the machine away. Was her strength so strong?

His eyes fell on the somewhat thin shoulders and neck of the girl in front of him.

It looks so fragile, it could break if I just hold it...

The girl suddenly turned around, and Jing Yimai looked away as if nothing had happened.

"Guest, I highly recommend this double room. The lighting inside is excellent."
