Chapter 25 A Warning in a Dream



Gu Huaiwei has never been able to truly trust Lin She.

Everything about him was too weird.

Even though he didn't do anything.

Although he was very professional at work.

Although he has expressed his loyalty many times.

But... Gu Huaiwei felt a deep sense of contradiction in him.

This sense of contradiction comes from the fact that Linshe doesn't have what he wants.

It seemed as if his appearance was just to help her.

But the education Gu Huaiwei received from childhood to adulthood told her that there is no free lunch in the world.

No one will be nice to you for no reason.

No one will help you for no reason.

Therefore, Gu Huaiwei was wary of this kind of help.

Lin She showed his humanity in front of Gu Huaiwei.

Gu Huaiwei relied on her keen instincts to guard against the beastly nature beneath the skin of others.

During this period, Gu Huaiwei unlocked two new retail machines.

One sells sugar and salt.

A machine selling canned meat.

All the rat people within a ten-mile radius gathered together. They picked up scrap metal and exchanged it for things in these four machines.

Little by little, it adds up to a lot.

Cheap goods always come with incredible profits.

Thanks to them, the Oasis Hotel already has 30,000 gold coins in its account.

Gu Huaiwei used the 30,000 gold coins to unlock the staff rest area.

[Oasis Hotel: Two-star]

[Hotel Prosperity: 122]

[Unlocked Areas: Standard King Room, Twin Room, 4 Themed Rooms, 4 Retail Machines, Employee Rest Area]

[Balance remaining on account: 540 gold coins]

Thanks to the staff rest area, all the gold coins I had worked so hard to earn during this period were spent again.

The originally cramped and airy employee warehouse has been transformed into a warm and comfortable employee rest area.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

The kitchenette is small but fully equipped. A towel hangs by the stainless steel sink, and all the necessary utensils are available. Adjacent to the kitchenette is the tea room, where an instant coffee machine sits on a long wooden table.

Gu Huaiwei stuffed all the fruits and vegetables that were originally stored in the warehouse into the refrigerator in the small kitchen in the rest area.

The library is a separate room with huge bookshelves filled with various reference books. There is a beige sofa bed near the window. Gu Huaiwei simply let Lin She rest and work in it.

She would stay in a separate lounge at night.

The lounge is only about ten square meters, with just a table, a bed and a bedside table.

There is a photo of a Ferris wheel on the bedside table, which looks like a smaller version of the oil painting in the hall.

Gu Huaiwei is very satisfied with the staff rest area.

Although it cost her a lot of gold coins, it was worth it.

After Lin She changed his room, he never went out.

He hid in the library.

Gu Huaiwei didn't feel comfortable asking him about the membership card.

But it was only two days late, Lin She placed the prepared membership card sample at the door of Gu Huaiwei's room.

Very conscious.

Having good hearing can also be a problem.

Every night, Gu Huaiwei could hear heavy and fragmented gasps mixed with pain coming from the direction of the library.

She didn't know when the forest snake came to her door?

When do you put down your membership card?

The forest snake is always elusive.

The continuous acid rain caused the people in the underground city to retreat.

Xiao Youqi's body was rotting beyond control. When Gu Huaiwei came to find him with a bottle of new mineral water, he was using a knife to cut the rotten flesh off his abdomen.

"Sit down, don't mind." Xiao Youqi's upper body was naked, and his body was covered with densely packed healed scars, some deep, some shallow.

His muscles were beautifully defined, like eight solid rocks tightly arranged.

Gu Huaiwei looked at his rotting wound and asked, "Why don't you use an inhibitor?"

Xiao Youqi pointed his chin at the three empty injections in the trash can.

"I've killed three of them, but it's no use. I have to dig this one out."

Gu Huaiwei felt that he had dug the knife into the bones.

Are you going to die?

It seems impolite to ask directly.

Gu Huaiwei changed the question: "Can your injury be cured?"

If he dies, we'll have to find someone else to work with.

Xiao Youqi raised his head, looked at Gu Huaiwei with his silver-gray eyes, and said with a smile: "Are you concerned about me?"

"I'm concerned about our business." Gu Huaiwei's expression was cold.

"Don't always act like you only care about money. I thought we've been working together for so long that there would be something beyond just money."

"Please don't think about those weird things."

Gu Huaiwei is a businessman, and businessmen are most averse to talking about feelings with clients.

Because talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money.

Every time a customer mentioned their friendship, he would think of asking her to charge less.

That won't work.

There are fewer people here and fewer people there.

In the end, how can she continue to do business if she has so little?

Xiao Youqi dug out the rotten flesh and threw it into the trash can, then injected two inhibitors into his abdomen, and the wound finally healed.

He wrapped himself in bandages.

"Can you help me tie the knot of my bandage? It's not convenient for me to do it alone."

Gu Huaiwei stepped forward to help and tied a bow behind his back.

Xiao Youqi took advantage of this opportunity, stretched out his finger and touched her hair.

Gu Huaiwei frowned and turned her head away. She didn't like others suddenly approaching her and doing such intimate actions.

"What are you doing?" After tying the bow, Gu Huaiwei moved away from Xiao Youqi.

Xiao Youqi spread his hands: "There's something dirty in your hair."

There was a piece of torn paper in his palm.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Gu Huaiwei and Xiao Youqi continued to discuss business.

Bandages, drinking water, various compressed foods, and pure cotton clothing are all popular items that sell well.

However, drugs such as antibiotics are not popular in this world.

After agreeing on the profit sharing, Gu Huaiwei estimated that another large sum of money would come in.

You can buy an off-road vehicle now.

This was originally a good thing.

But at night, Gu Huaiwei lay on the small bed in the staff lounge, her brows furrowed, her body twisting slightly on the bed, trapped by a nightmare.

Gu Huaiwei had a nightmare.

In her dream, she saw her sister, whom she once loved deeply, sitting in a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, her eyes bloodshot, the corners of her lips slightly cracked, and her familiar face distorted into the appearance of an evil ghost.

Two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, her sister rushed towards her, and her cold hands suddenly grabbed her neck. The force became stronger and stronger, locking her throat tightly like an iron clamp.

A hoarse and cold voice came from my sister's throat, like a warning from the abyss.

“Paradise will see everything you do…”

"You can't take it... You can't take that money... Don't go down the same path as me..."

"Don't go to them... or you'll end up like me."

In the dream, Gu Huaiwei struggled desperately. She wanted to breathe, but the air was completely sucked away. She felt severe pain in her chest and she was about to suffocate at any time.
