*Hi! Want to check in?*
In the year 2XXX, a meteor falls, the zombie virus rages, soil and water sources are polluted, the climate is abnormally reversed, and humanity's homeland is slowl...
In room 105.
Sun He looked at the things in the room, standing in front of the window. It was obvious that there were dangers everywhere outside, but even with the window open, not a single mosquito flew in, as if there was a barrier separating them. Thinking back to the clean water source he had just used to wash up, this hotel was so strange...
"Brother Sun, what are you thinking about..." Zhou Yan's slightly soft voice came from behind, and a pair of soft hands came up, "This hotel is so magical, if we can make it work for us..."
The remaining words were drowned out by my tongue...
In room 101 on the other side, the captain and deputy captain of Team 7 were both there.
Chen Hua dried the team members' clothes and sent them back. Then he lay on the bed and recalled every little thing that had happened since the end of the world.
"Captain, who is this boss? We've been to this place several times, but we've never seen him open a shop. Could it be..."
Li Xia put his hands behind his head. It had been a long time since he had slept on such a comfortable bed. Alas!
"Who is the boss? Is he important to us?"
Chen Hua glanced at him and said, "The world has become like this. I won't be too surprised if something strange happens again. As long as I can keep my life, have food, drink and a place to live, I'm already very happy..."
When Li Xia heard what the captain said, he was speechless for a moment. Yes, in this world, survival is the most important thing.
Overnight, the world changed. Zombies and strange beasts were everywhere, and it seemed that all order and rules had fallen apart.
Those large factories, important sources of livelihood for residents, power plants, water plants, etc. are all out of work. Now their base is a base at best, but a refugee concentration camp at worst.
Some people with abilities and teams above immediately occupied a piece of land and built a base, but they did not have electricity or water. The electricity was okay, and they could collect some energy and find machines to generate electricity.
But it is difficult to get water. The water sources in rivers, lakes and reservoirs have all been polluted because of the coming of the end of the world. Someone once died painfully after drinking this water. Even boiling it was useless.
The water they drink in their base now is all bottled water, barreled water, etc. that they had previously looted. Some people had previously found some places with some clean water sources left, but how long can they last?
And the land. Now those plants that used to stand obediently on the roadside have changed overnight. Nothing edible can grow in the land anymore. There is really less and less edible food in this world.
The population of one base is not small. Besides their base, there are three other bases in this city...
There will be a bloody storm at that time. People with special abilities can follow the people above them. For example, people with water abilities can use water resources to exchange for other basic needs. But for little people like them, who only have a little strength, how long can they live like this?
Slowly, Chen Hua and Li Xia fell asleep while thinking about various things.
The next day, the sunlight poured down and scattered on the bed through the window, waking up the sleeping people.
"Today is another day of working!" She wailed on the bed for a while, then got up helplessly to wash up. After a while, she finished cleaning up and walked out of the room yawning.
Time will not change with the coming of the end of the world. The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, the willow branches still dance in the wind, and a new day still comes.
Shi Jiu opened the wooden door and leaned against it. The sunlight shone in, bringing warmth. The climate of this plane seemed to be similar to hers, which was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, neither too cold nor too hot.
Everything seemed so beautiful, if it weren't for the debris left over from last night's fight at the door and the strange smell in the air...
Shi Jiu took one look and immediately looked up at the sky. No, no, I can't look at it anymore, it's too shabby. She muttered to herself, "I didn't see it, I didn't see it, it's all fake, it's all fake..."
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening a shop and spending a night there. Reward: automatic blurring of objects that cannot be viewed directly, and automatic hotel cleaning. Would you like to enable this function?]
Just as Shijiu was preparing himself mentally, the system in his mind popped up again.
When she heard the reward, she immediately replied, "Open it, open it quickly!"
Then she lowered her head. The hotel entrance was also within the cleaning area. The things that were at the entrance before turned into a mosaic in her eyes and disappeared the next second.
"Wow, system, you are so awesome!" Shi Jiu couldn't help but praise the system, but the intelligent customer service that only relied on basic programs would not respond to her.
It’s a pity that 001 is in hibernation at this moment, otherwise it would immediately jump out and boast that 001 is the best system.
Without the eyesores, the air became fresh and pleasant, with blue sky and white clouds stretching as far as the eye can see.
"Boss, we're here to check out!" Just as she was standing at the door in a daze, the people from Team 7 also packed up and came out to check out.
"I'm coming." Shi Jiu came back to his senses, stretched, and walked back behind the counter.
"I slept so comfortably last night. The bed was so soft. It felt like I was sleeping on a cloud!" The members were all discussing their sleep last night.
"Yeah, I've been mentally exhausted from sleeping in a tent for a while now. It's not soundproof, and I wake up from time to time. I'm afraid the zombies will break through and attack me."
"Ah, everyone is like that. Last night was the most comfortable sleep I've had in all these days. There were no strange noises, no unpleasant smells, and I wouldn't have woken up if the clock hadn't struck eight."
The eight o'clock bell that the members mentioned was because Shi Jiu set the check-out or extension time at eight o'clock. When the time comes, the system will automatically ring the wake-up bell in the hotel.
Although it is somewhat disturbing to others, she cannot, under the current circumstances, allow guests to check out or renew their rooms anytime and anywhere. That would be too much work. Fortunately, the current apocalyptic situation has increased the tolerance of many people.
After hearing what they were discussing, Shi Jiu decided to bring up this rule later and inform everyone in advance.
After taking back the room card, she pointed to the vending machine next to her and said, "There's some stuff over there. Do you want to take a look?"
Zhao Jin quickly went over to take a look, "Wow, there's even ham sausage!!!" Upon hearing this, everyone woke up from their sleepiness and ran forward to take a look.
"Yes, it really is. It looks pretty big."
"I'm having a hard time. I haven't had ham in ages. I'm about to vomit from eating exotic animal meat every day!"
"Yes, that thing is hard and dry, and there is only a small amount of edible part of the whole monster." The team members sighed while gazing at the sausage with envy.
When Shi Jiu heard this, he was confused. If the animal mutated into a mutant beast, what about the plants? Growing vegetables should still be possible, right? Why was there no mention of this at all? Is survival so difficult now?
"Why don't you eat first before going back? It doesn't matter if you spend some time. After eating, you will have more energy to fight zombies on the way back." Shi Jiu advised.
Chen Hua had originally planned to return to the base after checking out, but after being persuaded by his boss and seeing the expectant looks on the team members' faces, he thought about the dangers of the journey back and said, "Then let's eat first!"
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" When the team members were shopping, they all decided to choose the combination of instant noodles and ham sausage.
"Wow, this ham is quite big!" Zhao Jin was the first to buy it. She looked at the ham sausage in her hand, which was as thick as her arm and about 30 centimeters long, and was suddenly in trouble. She seemed unable to finish it in one go.
"Jiang Xiao, let's split this sausage. I can't eat so much by myself, and I can't store it."
"Sure!" Jiang Xiao, who was standing at the back of the queue, tilted his head to take a look and agreed decisively. Now he didn't have to buy instant noodles anymore, as half a stick was enough to fill him up.
Except for the two women in the team, everyone else chose to share half a sausage with their partners. The combination of instant noodles and half a sausage made them have an extremely enjoyable breakfast.
Shi Jiu waited until they had all finished buying before she looked at the sausage. Because she had only seen the picture before and it was directly put on the shelf from the warehouse, she had never seen it before and thought it was the small-sized sausage she had eaten before.
Seeing the size, it's no wonder it's more expensive than instant noodles. It's such a steal! Shi Jiu was also a little greedy and planned to go to the warehouse to get some for breakfast after they left.
As Chen Hua ate, he looked at the goods in the vending machine and gradually came up with an idea. After finishing the food in a few bites, he waved to the team members and called them together to discuss for a while.
Shi Jiu was fiddling with the tablet, and there were still two people who had not checked out.
Yesterday, when she announced the check-out time, the two had already gone in, and they didn't seem to come out. Should I knock on the door and ask them later? Although their behavior may be improper, they are still her guests after all, so basic service should still be provided...
Just when Shijiu was about to knock on the door later, Chen Hua came over.
"Boss, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Shi Jiu asked in confusion. Could it be that the food doesn't taste good?
"That's right...we want to do business with you. We plan to wholesale some food and water and make some crystal cores." Chen Hua said a little embarrassedly.
"That's no problem. How much do you want? My current stock is all over there. If you want to wholesale as much as you want, just use the crystal cores to buy it."
If it's not enough, I can add more inventory for you. Shi Jiu thought secretly, this is a good time to earn crystal cores.
Deputy Captain Li Xia, who was following behind Chen Hua, scratched his head and said with some difficulty: "But we don't have bags. The bags we originally carried with us for carrying things were left behind when we were escaping from the zombies and monsters last night. We were resting and planning to eat something at that time." After talking about what happened last night, he couldn't help but hate Zhou Yan and Sun He even more. Not only did they not have much ability, but they were also a burden to others.
[Ding! Long-term mission: Spend a ton of money. Mission details: Customers must spend at least 500 crystal cores (0/N) in the store. Missions can be stacked. Mission reward: Complete once to receive a (5m*5m) space bracelet*1. Rewards can be stacked.]
As soon as Li Xia finished speaking, a task popped up on the tablet with a ding. Shi Jiu picked up the tablet and looked at the task clearly. It was like a pillow just as he was dozing off.
"How much goods do you plan to buy? I have a promotion here. As long as you spend 500 crystal cores, I will give you a space bracelet, which is about 5 meters * 5 meters in size. How about it? Are you interested?" Shi Jiu looked at them with a smile.
Empty...space bracelet? Is that what they thought? The two looked at Shi Jiu with incredulous eyes.
Yes, that’s right, it’s just what you think, Shi Jiu responded to them with his eyes.
Chen Hua's hands on either side began to tremble unconsciously. He wanted to take back what he said last night. He was still not mentally prepared to encounter these extraordinary objects! The boss really was an alien from outer space, right? He had all these things.
At this moment, Shi Jiu's identity became unprecedentedly mysterious in their eyes.
