Chapter 6: It's OK to squeeze in
Hotel?
It's already this late, and there are still people running a hotel?
Don’t let this be some new scam!
The expressions of the team members changed unpredictably, and they were not sure how much of what Xia Yan said with a smile was true.
Feng Bei seemed to be back at home, with a proud look on his face, and opened the glass door when they were not paying attention.
This caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
"Don't be afraid, the zombies can't see us!" Feng Bei spoke loudly, looking at their surprised expressions with a smug look on his face, and paid special attention to Wang Xuewei.
As they saw, the zombies surrounding them outside were shaking their heads and ignoring them in the store. Even though Feng Bei's voice was so loud, they still couldn't hear it.
"This...what kind of supernatural power is this?" Li Qiang couldn't believe it and wanted to walk out, but Qi Hua grabbed her arm.
Qi Hua was extremely cautious. Thinking of Xia Yan's words, he looked at her carefully.
Who is this person? Why would he open a hotel far away from the base in the zombie encirclement?
"Captain, let's stay here for one night. I have booked a room. Although it is a bit small, it is very safe!" Feng Bei walked to Qi Hua with starry eyes as if presenting a treasure.
Before they knew it, Feng Bei had become the shop's promoter, and he was very dedicated. Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction.
If there were more people like this, she would save so much trouble!
"Have you lived here before?"
"Yeah, I took a nap at noon. It was so comfortable!" Although she exaggerated a little, it was indeed the best sleep she had ever had.
"Oh, by the way, there's food in the store! I had barbecue and rice for lunch! It was delicious! Captain Qi Hua, I'll treat you!"
Feng Bei pulled Qi Hua's arm and dragged him to the lunch machine. Pointing at the picture on it, he continued, "Qi Hua, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you. Fish-flavored shredded pork rice?"
Seeing Qi Hua's disbelieving expression, Feng Bei became even more excited. Isn't this her time to show off?
Even with this lunch box, she couldn't win Qi Hua's heart? What ability did Wang Xuewei and the others have to compete with her?!
Feng Bei glanced at Wang Xuewei arrogantly, and seeing her face flushed with anger, he was extremely happy. In addition to the spicy and sour potato shreds, he ordered all the meals in the lunch machine, spending a total of 61 points, leaving only 2 points on the card.
She thought that after returning, she and her father would get a few more crystal cores, exchange them all for points, and buy whatever she wanted to eat.
Soon the machine pushed out several boxes of lunch.
Feng Bei ignored everyone's surprised expressions and smugly handed the lunch boxes to everyone. He forced a smile and said to Wang Xuewei, "Sorry, Xuewei, I don't have any points on my card anymore, so I can't buy this. You'll have to go hungry for the night!"
Wang Xuewei stared at the lunch boxes in everyone's hands, feeling embarrassed. Her eyes were red and she was about to cry. She had thought that what Feng Bei said was a joke. It had been so many years since the apocalypse, how could there still be lunch boxes for sale.
But she didn't expect it to be a boxed lunch. Fish-flavored shredded pork, barbecued meat, duck legs, and Yangzhou fried rice filled her nose with fragrance. That was meat! And pure white rice! Just looking at it and smelling it made her drool.
Xia Yan spoke at the right moment, "Guest, our shop only needs one first-level crystal core to redeem 100 points, which can be used for accommodation and lunch."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuewei was delighted. She took out a handful of crystal cores from her pocket, wiped away her tears, and specially selected a second-level crystal core to give over.
Level 2 crystal core can be exchanged for 500 points.
Xia Yan helped her exchange the card and had no intention of teaching them how to use the machine.
Anyway, Feng Bei has already done it in a high-profile manner.
"Do the others need to redeem points?"
Qi Hua also recharged 100 points, and the other two also only recharged 100 points.
Xia Yan shrugged. It didn’t matter. These points would be in her pocket sooner or later.
"Do you need to check in, guests?"
Everyone focused their attention on Qi Hua. He was the captain and had absolute say. Although everyone hoped to have a good rest here for a night, and there were so many zombies outside, they would be committing suicide if they went out.
After Qi Hua thought about it again and again, he nodded as expected and asked, "How many points do I need?"
"A single room requires 20 points, and there is only one left." Xia Yan said lightly.
"Ah? Only one? Why is your store so small?" Feng Bei had been holding back his anger for a long time and took the opportunity to vent it.
Her teammates came and she straightened her back.
Xia Yan glanced at her face indifferently, "It's so small, if you don't like it, please get out."
Qi Hua pulled Feng Bella behind him, his face serious. "Boss, since we're doing business, it's better to be friendly and make money, right? I want the other room. 20 points, right?"
He said he was going to swipe the card.
Xia Yan crossed his arms and sneered, "Wait a minute, I can rent you another single room, but this is a single room, only one person can stay in it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the team started to make noise.
"No way! It can only accommodate one person? Then where are the other three of us going to live?"
"That's right, you can't let us live outside!"
Xia Yan did not interrupt and let them talk as much as they wanted.
Seeing that she was calm, Qi Hua wanted to just leave, but thinking that there was no place to hide around, he had to be patient and discuss it again.
"Boss, please be flexible. As you know, zombie activity is most intense at night. With their ability levels, going out would be a death sentence."
Seeing the person who had the final say inside speak again, Xia Yan raised his head and stated his purpose: "You can stay here. You can arrange the two single rooms as you like. The other three people will be charged according to the price."
Seeing someone about to object, Xia Yan held out his hand to stop them. "Don't rush to speak. As you can see, my shop is absolutely safe. No zombies can get in. I only charge 20 points per person. You won't find this price anywhere else in the world."
It can't be cheap.
What we sell is not beds, but safety!
Besides, who says a single room can't accommodate a few more people? It's such a late hour, and you still want a room to yourself? Are you still pretending it's peacetime?
Sure enough, after saying these words, the others quieted down, and when Qi Hua nodded, they all stepped forward to pay their points.
Xia Yan handed over the key to Room 102 and, smiling again, reminded them, "There's no restroom in my shop right now. I hope you guys can go out and take care of it before nightfall. The area within one meter of the shop is a safe zone."
Everyone looked at each other, and then went out honestly.
Just like the boss said, as long as they are no more than one meter away, the zombies won't be able to see them no matter how much they move around under their noses.
Several people were shocked and felt that this shop was even more mysterious.
After returning, Qi Hua arranged one room for the boys and one room for the girls. Seeing that Xia Yan had no intention of giving them bedding, he directly asked Wang Xuewei to take out three single tents from the space.
They had slept overnight outside the base before, so necessary equipment like this was naturally kept in the space at all times.
Night falls quickly.
Xia Yan, who was sitting behind the cashier counter, got up, locked the door, and went back to his room.
She assigned Xiongxiong to the lobby to guard the machines and the gate.
What kind of cleaner is that? To her, she is just a brick, used in the east and then used in the west!
After a quick wash, she remembered that she had forgotten to install the surveillance camera today.
I opened the screen and checked the store’s sales. I actually received 193 points today.
