Chapter 35

Shi Jiu looked at the experience value (490/500) and thought to herself what a shame. She only needed one more customer to reach level 3.

Forget it, it’s just one day, she can wait. Then she saw two guests who lived on the first floor in the group had checked the room and came out again. She rolled her eyes and decided to go and find out what they were saying!

"Hello, guests. I'm a clerk at the hotel. Is there anything I can help you with?" Shi Jiu stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

"Ah, let's just take a look around." One of them had just seen a team member being bitten by a zombie, and he couldn't help but shout out, calling Wei Qu. The one who was bitten was his friend, Tian Xiu.

They knew each other before the apocalypse, and later entered the Longhua base together. However, Wei Qu never expected that Tian Xiu would have an accident after just one mission. He was by his side at the time, watching Tian Xiu being bitten and helping him defeat the zombies, but the subsequent developments almost made him collapse. He couldn't accept such a ridiculous thing, and he couldn't believe that the leader of the base was so ruthless.

Although it's a widely accepted truth that humans bitten by zombies have no way to be treated and can only wait for death, Wei Qu's emotions were suppressed after witnessing his friend trapped by zombies and not having the courage to rescue him, not even leaving a complete corpse. After forcing himself to follow the group to the hotel, he was almost at his breaking point.

He could only use the excuse of walking around to force himself to divert his attention. Another person glanced at him and asked, "Didn't the leader say before? Put down your things and reunite with the main force."

Few people in the team knew that they were friends. Wei Qu pulled him aside and whispered a few words to him, saying that he would investigate the specific situation on the first floor and then go up to report to the leader.

The other team member didn't notice anything, nodded to indicate that he understood, and went upstairs alone.

"Please introduce this place to me. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful hotel." Wei Qu said to Shi Jiu with a smile.

Actually, this is not a lie. He was a college student before. His family was not well-off. They could only afford to send him to college and give him a living allowance every month that was just enough for him. Sometimes he had to go out and find a part-time job, so he had never stayed in a hotel outside or traveled to other places.

Shi Jiu looked at the boy in front of him who was a bit sunny but seemed to be in low spirits. For a moment he doubted his own judgment. He didn't look like a bad person.

She briefly described the layout of the first floor. Currently, only the restaurant and rest area are open, which can provide food and accommodation.

"We also have a treatment machine here that can treat your diseases, no matter how serious the disease is, as long as you have enough crystal cores to pay for it." Finally, Shi Jiu introduced the magical treatment machine.

"You...what did you say?" Wei Qu opened his eyes wide in surprise when he heard Shi Jiu say that, and grasped the key point of her words, "How serious of an illness can it be? Then...what if you get bitten by a zombie?"

He had mixed feelings. He hoped it was real, but he also didn't want it to have such a miraculous ability. He looked at Shi Jiu nervously, and finally...

"Of course it's true. A customer was bitten by a zombie yesterday. Fortunately, he was sent here in time and he's alive and kicking again in a short while." Shi Jiu recalled how fiercely Zhao Jin fought the zombies this morning and answered him with certainty.

It's true... After hearing this, Wei Qu was in a trance. He doubted the truth of these words and ran towards the treatment machine. When he stood inside the treatment machine, saw the prompt on it, took out the crystal core and felt the mystery in it, he couldn't help but collapse, and fell into a mood of self-blame and resentment.

Shi Jiu saw him rush into the treatment machine to experience it without saying a word, and thought that he had some disease and wanted to try the treatment. However, when the treatment was completed, he squatted inside and cried bitterly. Shi Jiu was so scared that he couldn't help but summon Qin Lou back.

Qin Lou had just arranged the guests on the second floor and explained that there was a rest area on the second floor. If they wanted to have a full meal, they could take the elevator downstairs to the restaurant for dinner. Then he came down.

"Qin Lou, come quickly! I don't know what's going on with this guest. She's crying her heart out in there." After seeing him, Shi Jiu quickly waved for him to come over. She had no experience in coaxing boys!

Qin Lou glanced at Wei Qu inside. He looked very sad and kept repeating "Datian, I'm sorry". He didn't look like there was anything wrong with his body.

"Let me take this, boss. You go back and have a rest first. Oh, and there are a lot of customers today. Do you think we have enough raw materials for the restaurant?"

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. By the way, try to trick him into believing that these people have bad intentions." She whispered to Qin Lou, then went back to the counter to check the agricultural and sideline products on the tablet. There were twenty or thirty people, and she didn't know if the food was enough.

Qin Lou looked at the boy crying bitterly in front of him, but he didn't let it bother him. Slowly, when the boy's voice weakened and his emotions stabilized, he asked, "Sir, may I help you? Perhaps I can help you."

"No, you can't help me, no one can help me..." Wei Qu wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice. There was only hatred for Sun Hao in his eyes, and he hated his own cowardice in his heart. If he could persist a little longer to save Tian Xiu and bring him to the hotel, would he be able to get better?

Wei Qu stood up by holding the railing beside the machine. After calming down, he gave Qin Lou an apologetic smile and said, "I'm fine now. Thank you."

After saying that, he prepared to go upstairs to meet up with the main force. It would not be good for him to leave for too long. It just so happened that there was this magical thing called the treatment machine to provide some shelter. After walking a few steps forward, he stopped, turned around, stared at Qin Lou, and gave them a hint.

"It's the middle of the night...be careful and pay attention to safety." After saying that, he quickly walked into the elevator and disappeared from Qin Lou's sight.

"You still... have a conscience?" Qin Lou showed a sarcastic smile on his stern face. Without saying anything else, he returned to the counter and recounted what had just happened to Shi Jiu.

"According to him, these guys want to do something in the middle of the night? They're not sleeping at all and are here to rob my house!" Shi Jiu was very angry. In the middle of the night, are they not going to let me sleep? These guys, they keep staring at other people's things every day, they have no humanity at all.

"It's very possible. Judging from his expression just now, there might be some internal conflict. But we can't believe it blindly. We can't say for sure whether it's their plan." Qin Lou didn't completely believe Wei Qu's words.

"If it's the middle of the night, it will be a bit harder. It's okay. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and plots are nothing!" Shi Jiu also knew that the other party's words could not be fully trusted, but she was very confident in the hotel's defense capabilities.

Shi Jiu was still holding the tablet to see if he should add some vegetables. It seemed that it was not enough. "These guys, I don't even want to feed them. It's better for them to eat instant noodles!" Shi Jiu was still thinking about the possibility of not being able to sleep in the middle of the night, and he felt resentful towards Sun Hao and his group. Eating would enhance their strength, otherwise he wouldn't put so many portions!

"No, let them go and make some money!" But then she thought about the hotel being basically invincible, and how strong they were would not affect the outcome at all, so she should let them go to the restaurant to eat, make a lot of money from them, and squeeze them dry!

Qin Lou was handling some matters on the side, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard Shi Jiu's mumbling. The two of them were in the hall, the sunlight was pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows beside them, covering them and reflecting an atmosphere of tranquility and peace.

Wei Qu went up to the second floor. Sun Hao and the others were waiting for him in the rest area. Seeing him coming up, the team leader took the initiative and scolded him, "What took you so long? You even made the leader wait. You're so brave!"

A strong sense of class rushed straight to his face. Wei Qu had already sorted out his emotions before coming up. Now facing Sun Hao, he was able to hide those negative emotions very well.

"Chief, I just tried the treatment machine downstairs and found that..." Wei Qu paused for a moment, as if he couldn't say what to say next.

"What did you find?" Sun Hao was not angry at Wei Qu's late arrival. Instead, when he heard that he was going to try the treatment machine, he was very interested in the results.

"It cured some of my minor problems within a few minutes. Just a layer of light came down and everything was fine!" He excitedly talked about the results and dropped another explosive news.

"And one of the shop assistants said that even zombie bites can be treated. Someone was bitten yesterday, but they got to the hotel in time and survived after receiving treatment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar, and everyone was talking about it. This was undoubtedly a bomb dropped on their cognition. Everyone knew that nowadays, if you were bitten by a zombie, you would definitely not survive. They had seen too many examples, and there was no time to send people for treatment. The research place could not provide any treatment plan or defense measures.

Wei Qu stared at Sun Hao, watching his reaction to the news. It was obvious to the naked eye that Sun Hao was very happy, even excited, and eager to try, but there was not a trace of guilt.

He had already forgotten Tian Xiu, whom he had thrown out like a sandbag on the road, and he did not reflect on his own behavior at all.

Wei Qu took a deep breath, closed his eyes tightly, blinked away the last bit of gratitude in his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, only calmness remained.

Sun Hao was indeed very excited at this time. Having such a machine meant that he would no longer have to worry about getting sick, being bitten by zombies, and other accidents. Maybe he could even achieve immortality. How could he not love such a treasure!

"Okay, come here, I'll tell you the plan now!" Sun Hao suppressed his excitement, gathered his subordinates in a circle, and carefully explained the plan to ensure that the action was foolproof!
