After driving for more than an hour, Jiang He slowed down the car and went back to his room to sleep and rest.
We arrived at the Twilight Hotel at 11:30 am the next day.
Compared to the last time I came here, there is a four or five meter high wall around the hotel, and there are seven or eight soldiers guarding the gate.
Seeing the pink RV coming towards them, the originally lifeless team instantly became energetic.
Xu Da rubbed his eyes to make sure it was not an illusion, then quickly opened the door and greeted them warmly.
"Boss Jiang, welcome, welcome, please come in!"
Jiang He stared at the AK in his hand and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you've been doing pretty well lately. You even got a gun."
Xu Da raised the corner of his mouth and smiled modestly, "This is all thanks to you. Chief Pei saw that I have a good relationship with Xiao Xiong, so he promoted me."
After saying that, he quickly waved his hands to explain, "Boss Jiang, when I first became friends with the little bear, I didn't think about this at all. I simply thought the little bear was interesting, so I wanted to play with it!"
Jiang He nodded slightly, "I understand, your friendship with Xiao Xiong is not fake."
Pei Wangnian was the one who promoted him, and Xu Da did not use this relationship to seek benefits for himself, so it was not considered a betrayal of this friendship.
"When Little Bear knows you've been promoted, he'll be happy for you too."
After the car drove in, the buildings and facilities inside were the same as before, with not much change.
There was a faint light on the first floor of the hotel. It seemed that many people were living in the nearby buildings. Flashlights were sticking out of the windows, shining towards the location of the pink RV.
Jiang He came to the old place, opened the supermarket, and blocked the street outside the hotel.
Xu Da, who had been following behind, couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw the supermarket had been expanded to several floors.
"Oh my god, why is Boss Jiang's supermarket getting bigger and bigger?!"
Jiang He walked up to him and asked about the current situation of the hotel, "How many tenants are there?"
Xu Da lowered his chin and said, "Boss Jiang, during the flood, more than 80 tenants were trapped in the hotel. Later, when the polar night fell, a large number of mutant beasts appeared near the hotel.
Chief Pei and several other hotel shareholders sent teams to provide support.
The surrounding walls were built by Chief Pei on the second day of the polar night. They were originally intended to protect the hotel tenants, but not long after, hundreds of disaster victims flocked here.
Chief Pei lowered the hotel rent and asked those who had supplies to stay in the hotel, while those who did not had to find a place to stay on their own in the vacant buildings.
Afterwards, more and more disaster victims came to seek refuge. So far, there are a total of 674 survivors inside and outside the hotel."
Jiang He was a little surprised. "When did your Chief Pei become so... kind?"
Lowering hotel rents and accepting disaster victims, is this something Pei Wangnian can do?
Xu Da looked around and found that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said:
"I guess, Chief Pei must have been hurt by love and wants to do good deeds to accumulate virtue."
Jiang He had a look on his face as if he had just eaten a melon. "Did he start to act strangely about a month and a half ago?"
Xu Da recalled for two seconds, then nodded: "Yes, it was at that time that Chief Pei became completely different from before.
Although I don't want to admit it, I do look... a lot kinder."
In the past, he never imagined that one day he would use the word "kind" to describe a ruthless, weird-tempered, cruel and ruthless mad leader.
"Chief Pei accepted so many survivors, probably planning to establish another sub-base. He even used a helicopter to transport a batch of supplies here a few days ago."
Xu Da smiled brightly, "Boss Jiang, I'll help you attract customers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran quickly downstairs of the building.
"Dawn Supermarket has opened here. Everyone, hurry down, collect the mutant beast corpses, and go to the supermarket to stock up on supplies!
Hurry up, the supermarket has limited supplies, first come first served! "
The Dusk Hotel has two warehouses that are specifically used to store the corpses of mutant animals. Even if they are rotten and smelly, they are not thrown away.
The purpose is to save them up and exchange them all when I come to Shuguang Supermarket.
Survivors who paid rent would be given a few more teeth or claws.
After they lined up at the warehouse door, they carried the smelly mutant beasts and continued to line up at the supermarket.
Jiang He was busy issuing cards and redeeming points for customers when he suddenly heard Little Bear yelling:
"You two have been blacklisted and cannot enter the supermarket!"
Wang Guifeng, with a sallow complexion, was holding her little grandson and standing in the middle of the line. She thought she could get away with it, but when she was about to enter the waiting area, she was stopped by a bear.
Wang Guifeng no longer cared about her face and knelt on the ground.
"Boss Jiang, I know I was wrong. Please forgive us for the sake of our age and our young age!
I, I will kowtow to you, as many times as I want!"
As she spoke, she banged her head against the ground, making a dull sound.
After a while, there was a bruise on his forehead and bright red blood was oozing out.
The little bear took a half step back, hid to the side, and said a classic line he learned from a TV series.
"If apologies work, why do we need the police?"
There must be something hateful about pitiful people, and this is vividly reflected in the end times.
Jiang He walked out of the cashier counter and looked at the bruised Wang Guifeng with an expressionless face.
"You can keep knocking yourself out. Even if you bleed to death and die in front of the supermarket, it won't change the outcome."
Wang Guifeng raised her head, her eyes filled with hatred. "You are too cruel. I am an old woman over fifty years old, and I have done this. What else do you want me to do?"
Jiang He glanced at her and said lightly, "I want you to get out and stop interfering with the supermarket's business."
Wang Guifeng stood up suddenly and was about to say something when a man rushed forward and grabbed her.
"Mom, stop messing around and take Yanyan back home quickly."
Wang Guifeng couldn't help but burst into tears. "Why? I was also given a mutant beast, so why can't I exchange it for points to buy food?"
After Zhuo Ling left, their family did have one less mouth to feed, but Zhuo Yingping's salary was only enough to barely support the two of them, and they had to go hungry from time to time.
When Zhuo Yan saw the boxed lunches and roast ducks in the supermarket, he kept clamoring to eat them. Wang Guifeng felt sorry for her skinny grandson, so she thought of trying her luck in the supermarket.
What if Jiang He has already forgotten them?
Unfortunately, this eventuality did not happen.
Zhuo Yingping had sunken eye sockets, a tired look on his face, and spoke weakly.
"Boss Jiang is a distinguished guest of the Twilight Hotel. If you continue to make trouble, I will lose my job. Then you and Yanyan will really be left with nothing."
Wang Guifeng paused, and when she thought of this possibility, she immediately gave up, picked up her light-weight grandson, and left Shuguang Supermarket in shame.
