Gao Ziang understood that it was a newly added building. He prepared instant noodles, bought food and daily necessities and was about to return to his room when Qin Lou called him.
"Wait, where did that group of people come from?"
Gao Ziang shook his head. "I'm not sure. If they hadn't saved us just now, we wouldn't have been able to reach the hotel. As a token of gratitude, I told them the hotel's location. Is there a problem?"
He was a little nervous and worried that he had violated some taboos in the hotel.
"It's okay, he doesn't look like an ordinary person." Qin Lou sat upright on the chair and said calmly.
"Oh, they're a team full of psychics. I asked before, and they're from the Anhe base. That base is quite famous in our City B. I heard the order there is very good, at least not like our base, which has been getting more and more chaotic lately."
Talking about the previous base, Gao Ziang couldn't help but sigh. If he really couldn't stand it, he wouldn't have left like that. He almost lost his life on the way here.
"Really?" Qin Lou pondered. City B...
"Yes, I hope the days ahead will be better." Gao Ziang took his things and returned to the room. He decided to settle his family first. He would have to take things one step at a time in the future.
Soon, silence returned to the hall, leaving only Qin Lou.
Second floor, rest area
The four of them went into the room first to check and found nothing wrong, then went out to the rest area to see the vending machine that Qin Lou had just mentioned.
"What good stuff!" The scarred man is called Shi Yan. He is standing in front of the vending machine, observing the goods inside.
"It's not that expensive, boss. Do you want to buy some and try it out?" The man who had previously yelled at Gao Ziang and called Haozi turned around and asked Yan Yue.
"Why don't we give it a try? It's about a few crystal cores. This hotel is weird. They actually use crystal cores." The last team member looked like charcoal. It didn't matter what his name was. He was simply nicknamed Heizi.
"How many crystal cores do we have left?" Yan Yue looked at the items in the vending machine in front of him, and remembered that there was a long-term activity he had just seen on the blackboard below. The key point was that it actually gave away a space bracelet, which was very intriguing.
The other three counted the crystal cores on themselves, which were about 600 or so. Yan Yue added the ones he had in his hand and was sure that they could participate in the long-term activity tomorrow, so he did not stop them from buying things.
"Buy some and try them out. Save 500 crystal cores for tomorrow's long-term event."
Then they bought some of each product to try. The more they ate, the more amazed they were, and they became more and more excited about the long-term event.
After eating and drinking, Yan Yue crossed his fingers and nestled comfortably on the sofa. "What do you think of that man down there?"
The three of them shook their heads. Shi Yan thought about how the clerk had remained calm even when he was about to unleash his supernatural power. He couldn't help but say, "He's very brave, but I don't know how strong he is."
"On the contrary, I think he is not brave." Yan Yue thought of the eyes he had just met with Qin Lou. The dark pupils were filled with murderous intent, which made people shudder.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, bright lights shone brightly on the entire second floor. There was not a single dark place. Yan Yue looked out the window. It was pitch black. Even the moon was covered by dark clouds.
"We'll know the answer tomorrow." Yan Yue became even more curious about this. What kind of boss could open such a hotel?
"Let's go back and have some rest. It's a good opportunity to try out the room in this hotel!" He stood up and prepared to go to the room when he suddenly remembered the notice from the base last night.
"Did anyone see a meteor falling from the sky last night?"
"Yes... yes, but only a few people have seen it. The authenticity of this news is uncertain, and the base hasn't given the specific location yet." Shi Yan was stunned for a moment and replied.
Yan Yue had a strong premonition that this hotel seemed to have some connection with the meteor that suddenly appeared last night.
While people on the second floor were still wondering about the origins of the hotel, regular customers on the first floor had already started lying in bed planning their future lives after living in the hotel.
Gaozi's family of three lives in one room, and his parents live in another, so they can take care of each other.
He first delivered the noodles to his parents' room, then helped them buy some clothes, and then returned to his own room. Qi Yun took the instant noodles. While he was out buying food, she had already given the child a bath.
"Come, Duoduo, eat something first and then rest." The daughter in his arms was only five or six years old, but under the ravages of the end of the world, she became very sensible. She would never talk unless necessary on weekdays, and she had never shouted. She was so quiet that she didn't look like a child of this age at all.
Qi Yun handed over the instant noodles. Duoduo saw that there were still two buckets of instant noodles. She hesitated for a moment, then took them and ate them voraciously.
Qi Yun's eyes couldn't help but become moist. She gently stroked Duoduo's slightly yellow hair. They hadn't eaten anything today. The last bit of supplies were forcibly surrendered when they came out. Now they had nothing.
"Don't be in a hurry, Duoduo, eat slowly. Daddy has more food here." Gao Ziang saw Duoduo's embarrassed eating habits, but did not scold her. If she didn't eat like this, she would not be able to keep the food even when it was at her mouth in the base. The obsession with food has been deeply engraved in the child's heart.
Duoduo quickly finished a bucket of instant noodles. Touching her bulging belly, she timidly looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, can we always eat noodles this delicious in the future?"
Qi Yun's voice was hoarse as she looked at Gao Ziang, "Ask your father." She also wanted to know. For the past few months, she and her daughter had been living in fear. Every day when they woke up, they worried that there would be no supplies that day or that Gao Ziang would go out and never come back.
Even though the zombies are isolated to a certain extent in the base, human nature is fully demonstrated in the apocalypse.
They saw too many people being driven out of the base due to lack of supplies, and gradually losing their lives in the zombie swarm without shelter. They also saw other people's supplies being robbed inexplicably, with no way to seek justice. Even when they were eating, someone would rush up with a ferocious look and snatch the food from their mouths.
A few days after entering the base, the children became timid, afraid to speak, and silent all day long. They knew the problem, but due to the pressure of survival, they had no way to solve it.
"It's okay. Everything will be fine in the future, Duoduo. We've already left that base." Gao Ziang, a grown man, couldn't hold back his emotions anymore. He reached out and hugged Duoduo in his arms. "Duoduo, it's Daddy who's useless. We won't be going back to that base anymore. Let's just stay here and live a good life, okay?"
Feeling her father's strong arms, Duoduo suddenly burst into tears, releasing all the anxiety, fear and confusion of the past few days. In this small room, the family of three found peace they had never experienced since the end of the world.
Although Chen Hua and Li Xia next door were not in the same room, they were both thinking about how to go out and fight zombies to obtain crystal cores tomorrow, while Zhao Jin and Jiang Xiao were talking about what happened today.
Zhao Jin came to Jiang Xiao's room and they chatted while lying on the bed.
She recalled the thrilling experience in the evening and was still frightened. "I really didn't expect that after being bitten by a zombie, I would develop superpowers after recovery." She stretched out her right hand, and the leaf in her palm was still trembling slightly.
Jiang Xiao also recalled the situation at that time. "Your expression was really terrible at that time. I was worried that you would turn into a zombie and attack us in the next second. Fortunately, nothing happened."
After saying that, he looked at the seedling in her hand and asked, "What kind of plant is it?" It was the first time for her to see the display of wood-type supernatural powers at such a close distance, and she was very curious about it.
"I don't know either. I haven't felt any effect yet. I have to wait until it is upgraded." The current supernatural power is still very weak, unlike those fire and earth elements, whose abilities are particularly obvious.
"You were bitten by a zombie, and you're lucky to be cured, thanks to the hotel's magical treatment machine. By the way, did you notice the clerk behind the boss? He's the one who led us upstairs, so handsome!" Jiang Xiao thought of Qin Lou she had just seen. The girlish heart that had been oppressed by the various environments of the apocalypse recently reappeared in the comfortable hotel.
"I saw it. He is indeed very handsome, but you can only admire him from a distance. I always feel that he is a little dangerous." Although Zhao Jin is usually careless, her intuition is very accurate. The clerk gives her the feeling that he is more dangerous than Zhou Yansunhe at the beginning. Although she is disgusted with the former, she feels a strong sense of danger from the latter.
"Really?" Jiang Xiao recalled the shop assistant. He was very calm the whole time, with almost no emotional fluctuations. In stark contrast to the boss, he had an aura of keeping strangers away. But for some reason, she always thought of him unconsciously.
"Yeah, in the apocalypse, life is more important. I'd better earn crystal cores. At least I'll have some protection." Jiang Xiao changed her mind and decided to prioritize survival. Life is more important, and handsome guys would only hinder her from making money.
Now, in this hotel, earning crystal cores is equivalent to survival.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Jin felt that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Jiang Xiao and prepared to go back to his room.
She touched the small leaf in her palm and said to Jiang Xiao, "I'm going to go back and rest first. I have to go out and fight zombies tomorrow morning. Let's see if my ability has any effect."
Jiang Xiao was about to answer her when suddenly, a picture appeared before his eyes. Boundless darkness, with only a huge glass container. A green solution filled the entire space, and countless tubes were connected to the body in the middle, like a laboratory specimen. Only the slightly rising and falling chest showed that she was still alive.
The scene suddenly zoomed in, and the familiar face made her eyes widen.
Before she could react, the intense pain in her nerves made her brain go blank. She only had time to half-stand up and grab Zhao Jin who was about to leave. She uttered two words and then completely fainted.
"Don't go!"
