Chapter 8: Danger at Hulushan Hotel
Yuncheng is located in the southwest of China. It has high terrain, many mountains and forests, and rich mineral resources.
Therefore, at the beginning of the apocalypse, it was also one of the cities with abundant quartz.
High returns mean high risks.
Under the nourishment of quartz elements, dense forests will inevitably produce many extremely aggressive mutant plants. According to the novel, Yuncheng will gradually evolve into an S-level dangerous area.
Even the powerful protagonist group has made sufficient preparations and gathered tens of thousands of superpowers before daring to set foot in Yuncheng and obtain the spiritual treasure.
"Wow, An'an, Yuncheng is so lively!" Hu Jianye put his arm around Liu Jianan's shoulder, "There are stalls everywhere, my eyes are too busy to see them all!"
Street stall culture is the symbol of Yuncheng.
Due to the high altitude and rugged mountain roads, there are almost no wide asphalt roads in Yuncheng. Instead, there are layers of stone steps paved with cobblestones.
The special region provides a hotbed for the development of street stall culture. Liu Jianan took a rough look and saw that the vendors sold a wide variety of goods, from rare gems to hand-woven goods.
As for the price, it depends on personal opinion.
Especially for outsiders like them, in the eyes of Yuncheng people, most of them are lambs to be slaughtered.
Liu Jianan hired a local as a tour guide, and he offered a generous one thousand yuan a day.
The tour guide was named Zhang Yaoyao, a woman in her thirties. Her eyes lit up when she heard the price: "Handsome boss, I am a famous know-it-all in Yuncheng. I know exactly where to have fun. I guarantee you will have fun!"
Liu Jianan said directly: "Take me to the bank first."
One hundred million yuan was his starting capital, and Gu Hongwen could not take it back no matter what.
After completing a series of transfer procedures, it was already dark.
The night on the mountain came early, and the small stalls on the street set up night lights, and the scattered stars formed the night view of Yuncheng, which was very beautiful.
Zhang Yaoyao checked the time and suggested that they find a hotel to stay in first.
"Is there a hotel near Hulu Mountain?" Liu Jianan asked.
The Ruyi Gourd with space power is hidden in Hulu Mountain in Yuncheng.
Zhang Yaoyao suddenly realized: "So you want to go to Hulu Mountain, it's just right, I'm familiar with that place, I'll take you there!"
Liu Jianan nodded slightly: "Then please trouble Sister Zhang."
Hulu Mountain is located on the west side of Yuncheng, not far from them.
The trouble is that they have to climb up and down the stone steps. Liu Jianan and Hu Jianye, two young men, can still bear it, but Hu Deyi and Zhang Wenqian are a little tired.
After walking for more than half an hour, the two old men panted and waved their hands: "Let's go, we can't walk anymore, let's take a break!"
Zhang Yaoyao opened his backpack and gave everyone a bottle of water.
"Thank you." Liu Jianan took the water politely, but he didn't open the bottle cap and drink it like Hu Jianye and the others did.
Zhang Yaoyao also drank a sip of water, wiped the water stains at the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, blinked and asked: "Why don't you drink it?"
Liu Jianan: "I'm not thirsty."
He would not drink water given by a stranger.
When he got off the plane, he bought some drinking water at the nearby canteen and hid it in his backpack. He originally planned to share it with everyone, but he didn't expect Zhang Yaoyao to get there first.
In order to not offend the other party in public, he simply did not take out the water. It is
always better to be careful when going out. After all, he has a huge sum of money in his hand and cannot be careless.
Zhang Yaoyao did not say anything after seeing this. After everyone had a good rest, he pointed to the light not far away and said, "It will take another half an hour to get there, but it will be downhill from now on. Be careful."
As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain. Especially for a middle-aged man like Hu Deyi who is rich and wealthy, going down the mountain is simply a torture for the knees.
He grabbed the seams of his pants tightly with both hands, sweating profusely: "Anzi, why do we have to live down the mountain? I saw that we passed a lot of hotels just now, so why not just pick one to live in?"
Liu Jianan said: "It's all the requirements of the acquirer. He will be here next week. Let's do as he says to show our sincerity in cooperation."
Hu Deyi muttered dissatisfiedly: "There are quite a lot of requirements."
But in order to make money, he still gritted his teeth and insisted.
Finally arriving at the destination, Liu Jianan followed Zhang Yaoyao's instructions and looked at the hotel in front of him.
The sign was very simple, just called Hulushan Hotel. There
are three floors in total, with about five or six rooms on each floor, and each room has an independent small balcony.
It's incomparable to the big hotels in Longcheng.
Liu Jianan looked around. There were some tiled houses around the hotel, and the architectural style was very ethnic.
He was a little careful and checked the signal of his mobile phone.
It was not perfect, but it was not absent.
Zhang Yaoyao knew the owner of this hotel. The two of them exchanged greetings for a while. Perhaps he mentioned that they were generous, and the owner looked at them with goodwill.
After learning that a room was only 60 yuan a night, Liu Jianan directly booked the entire second floor.
The boss immediately showed a brilliant smile: "Dear guests, would you like to eat something? Steamed chicken? Mushrooms? Or casserole fish? They are all Yuncheng's specialties."
"Let's have one of each," Liu Jianan sat down and waved to Zhang Yaoyao, "Sister Zhang, you should eat something too."
Zhang Yaoyao was not hypocritical. She saw that Liu Jianan seemed to be easy to get along with on the surface, but in fact, she was the boss of the four.
Having said that, she was so happy that her employer was so generous.
The dishes were served one after another, and the rich aroma of the delicacies made people salivate.
Hu Jianye's hands were already greasy from eating, and Hu Deyi's mouth was even more greasy. The way these father and son ate was really not flattering.
Being able to eat is a blessing.
At least Liu Jianan looked quite comfortable.
This is the best attitude to treat food.
"Bang!"
A loud noise came from behind.
Liu Jianan frowned and was about to turn around to look, but Zhang Yaoyao suddenly warned him in a low voice: "Don't turn around, pretend you didn't see anything."
The boss walked up quickly with a flattering smile on his face: "You two, is it the same as before?"
"You know it, but you're still asking?" The man's rough voice hurt people's eardrums.
His companion sat down at the table next to Liu Jianan.
With a dull sound, a pistol was pressed hard on the wooden table, and the muzzle was pointed directly in the direction of Liu Jianan.
"It's so damn unlucky," the man picked up a cigar and put his feet on the table as if no one was around. "We searched the mountains for a whole day and didn't see a single hair. Could it be that the kid named Zhao sold us false information?"
The companion spat: "He dares! Search for another two days. If you can't find it, I'll go back and pull out his tendons and skin him!"
Then they talked about where to search for the mission target.
The more Liu Jianan listened, the more frightened he became. It was clear that their target was national protected animals. They were poachers!
"Hey, come here and have a couple of drinks with us brothers."
The man suddenly pointed the gun at Zhang Yaoyao, tilted his chin to the side, and motioned for her to sit over.
The dark muzzle of the gun was like an abyss, as if it would take someone's life in the next moment.
Zhang Yaoyao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't dare to implicate anyone, so she had to stand up from her seat obediently and walked towards the man with trembling legs.
The man laughed and put his arm around Zhang Yaoyao's waist, his eyes full of lust.
His companions took the opportunity to touch Zhang Yaoyao all over, and even stopped eating: "Boss, get a room!"
It was obvious what they were going to do!
