Chapter 31
"Yes, so this is why I can completely recover every time I am bullied, but you are the only one who knows my special ability." Kang An finished the rest of the food in a few bites. He ate a little too fast and choked, so he had to pat his chest hard.
Li Tao quickly handed him a bottle of mineral water and even opened the cap for him. "Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you to someone else?"
Kang An took the still-cold mineral water and took a big gulp to swallow the food that had choked him. Then he grinned, his teeth showing through his eyes. "Because you're a good person, I'm not afraid."
Li Tao: ...
A good man? He might have been a good man before the end of the world, but after all these years, where are there any truly good people left?
Li Tao finished his meal in a few bites, drank a few sips of water to soothe his throat, and then pulled Kang An to continue on the road.
It should be here in two hours. My new life! Here I come!
The night wind is no longer so hot, and there is occasionally a hint of coolness.
With this slight chill, Li Tao and Kang An arrived at the hotel entrance.
They passed through a security gate and successfully entered the hotel.
"Hahahaha, I haven't heard the mechanical voice of 'Welcome' for a long time. I miss it so much." Li Tao looked up at the top of the hotel. Although there was nothing, he was still fascinated by it.
"Hello, big sister, we need to check in." Kang An just followed Li Tao and glanced above his head, then turned around and went to the front desk to find Yun Ling to check in.
"Okay, do you want a single room or a double room with the person next to you? A single room is 150 points per night, a double room is 300 points per night, and a family suite is 500 points per night." Yun Ling said with a smile, and waited quietly for their choice.
When Kang An heard about the accommodation fee, he looked at the 80 points he had left and found that he couldn't even stay for one night. He had no choice but to hang his head and frantically button the corners of his clothes with his hands.
"We'll stay in a double room, and I'll pay with points." Li Tao touched Kang An's greasy head, then quickly retracted his hand, wiped his hands on the corner of his clothes, and said softly, "We agreed on a crystal core. You work for me for three days. Of course, food and accommodation are provided, but you will be responsible for yourself after that."
"Thank you, boss! You are a very kind person!" Kang An looked up and smiled widely, thinking that he would set up a stall at the door to provide treatment to people tomorrow.
"Okay, please confirm if there are any errors with the points and room type." Yun Ling already knew that they were people with points when they were standing at the front desk asking. At this time, they only needed to check the corresponding room type, and the guests could make the payment after confirming that there was no problem.
"no problem."
"Okay, guests can go to the backyard from the opposite corridor. Keep left and follow the road straight ahead to reach the double rooms in Building B." Yun Ling paused for a second before continuing, "Across from the front desk is a breakfast shop and a supermarket. To the left of the backyard is a gourmet restaurant, a self-service barbecue restaurant, and a self-service hot pot restaurant. Across from the gourmet restaurant is a weapons shop."
"Okay, thank you, boss. This is Room 2717, 27th Floor, Building B. Can we open the door directly by standing at the door?" The boss at the front desk didn't give him the key, so he thought of asking first so that he wouldn't have to come down to look for it if he couldn't open the door later.
"Yes, all transactions and entry and exit within the hotel are done using iris recognition."
"Okay, thank you, boss!" Li Tao thanked Yun Ling excitedly, then pulled Kang An and ran to the supermarket.
"Let's buy some clothes at the supermarket, go back and take a shower, and then come down to eat. I want to eat hot pot! Don't worry, it's my treat!" Li Tao said as he ran. Kang An was very happy behind him, "Yeah, yeah, thank you, boss! You are so generous!"
They ran to the entrance of the supermarket and were amazed as soon as they entered.
It doesn’t look big from the outside, but it’s completely different once you get inside!
The inside of the door is comparable to those famous supermarkets before the end of the world. There are rows of shopping carts on the left side of the door, and a row of large refrigerators with ice drinks and popsicles on the right. The road in the middle leads directly into the supermarket.
Li Tao subconsciously took a shopping cart on the left, and then walked inside with Kang An. They saw a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits, and snacks. Li Tao swallowed his saliva, hardened his heart and continued to walk inside. They saw an elevator with a sign at the elevator door.
The sign indicated the division of various commodities in the supermarket. The toiletries they wanted to buy were on the second floor, and the clothes were on the third floor.
Li Tao took Kang An into the elevator and pressed the button for the second floor.
In just three seconds, the elevator door opened.
"Is this so fast?" Li Tao exclaimed. This elevator was too fast! It felt like he had just stood firmly when it arrived.
They walked over to the toiletries section and bought a set each.
Li Tao wanted to pay Kang An, but Kang An held Li Tao's hand and said he would do it himself.
Li Tao didn't force it, and they continued walking. This time they came to the escalator. They pushed the car and parked on the escalator to go up to the third floor.
The men's clothing area was obviously on the right side of the third floor. When they walked over, they saw so many kinds of clothes that Li Tao felt dazzled just by looking at them.
"Boss, I'll buy the clothes myself." Kang An politely told Li Tao that he was going to choose clothes.
Li Tao nodded in agreement and pushed the cart into the casual wear area. The descriptions said the clothes could automatically fit the body size, so he didn't need to check the model size specifically.
Li Tao chose two sets of T-shirts and shorts, and then went to the underwear area to choose a few solid-colored underwear.
Kang An also came back with a set of T-shirt and shorts he bought.
"Didn't you take your underwear?" Li Tao looked at the man who only had clothes and shorts in his hands, and asked this question subconsciously.
Kang An's face flushed red, and he stammered, "I, I don't have enough points to buy underwear..."
"It's okay, take me to see and I can buy whichever one you like." Li Tao smiled softly before speaking.
"Thank you, thank you, boss." Kang An stared at Li Tao with his watery eyes, which made Li Tao shudder.
"Hey, stop looking at me like that! Take me there."
Li Tao was led to the children's underwear section, where there were many classic patterns on the underwear. "Which pattern do you want to choose?"
Kang An looked carefully and finally pointed at a pair of Ultraman anime underwear, "I like this! I used to love watching Ultraman the most! Hehehe."
"...Okay, so you believe in light?" Li Tao teased Kang An while taking the underwear.
"Of course I believe it!" Kang An said firmly.
"Hahahahaha! Okay, okay, let's go, let's go back and take a shower!!"
"Let's go!"
The days in the hotel are leisurely and happy, but the days on the road are not so comfortable.
Fengying and her friends encountered a big trouble. The psychics who were exploring ahead said that they saw a mountain, a lush mountain.
Fengying's face was serious. She ordered the others to rest where they were. If there were any problems, Lin Fang would take them in another direction.
Fengying brought a team of special abilities to take a look.
They stopped at a pile of rocks one kilometer away from the mountain. Fengying asked a wind-type ability user to quickly approach and see whether it was a real mountain or a fake "mountain".
After receiving the order, the wind-type mutant activated his abilities and reached the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye. He looked at the ground beneath his feet, slowly lowered his hand, touched the dry dust, and then reached forward to grab the grass in front of him.
He grasped it! It felt incredibly soft! He pinched it again, and the wetness of his fingertips reminded him that this was real grass!
Fengying saw the wind-type mutant dancing through the telescope. It seemed that it was a real mountain!
I never thought that there is a real mountain here, although it is very small.
In her previous life, Fengying had heard that there was a mutant beast that carried a "mountain" on its back and ate people everywhere. The mountain was an illusion created by the mutant beast using its supernatural power. It used the mountain to lure people towards it and then eat them in one bite.
It seems that what they encountered this time was not a mutant beast, but a real mountain.
But why are there mountains here?
Fengying came to the mountain with doubts. She pinched the grass on her fingertips and said, "It's true..."
Fengying took out a small notebook from her pocket and drew the landmarks of the mountain with a pencil, along with a map of their route.
Fengying asked the wind-type ability users to go back and let them continue to move forward, and Fengying and the others waited here.
According to their previous route, they would pass this mountain, but they would not spend the night here. They would go to a sheltered place to rest.
After confirming that there was no problem here, Fengying asked the psychics exploring in the front row to continue moving forward to search for the abandoned buildings.
More than ten minutes later, Fengying arrived at the main force. The people at the Honglian base were also very excited to see the mountain, but no one touched it. They were afraid that if they touched it, the flowers, plants and trees on the mountain would wither and disappear.
"Okay, let's keep going forward, following the route. It will take at most another hour. If there are no obstructions or buildings ahead, we will rest here and set off again tomorrow morning!" Fengying said loudly according to her previous idea.
The people at the Red Alliance Base didn't say anything, but just nodded excitedly yet silently.
Traveling at night is dangerous. How can you reduce the risk? Hush, speak softly.
They went around the mountain and continued to move forward, with Fengying and a few people with special abilities walking at the end.
Yun Ni's side has also reached the final stage, lacking only the last dozen or so people and Ouyang, the latest member to join the Hope Base.
Ouyang is a level 6 space ability user. His space contains the meat of exotic beasts they hunted, as well as dozens of crystal cores, both high-level and low-level.
Xin Qing asked Ouyang to keep 10 first-level crystal cores as a reward for handing over these supplies. The rest of the crystal cores were exchanged for points from Yun Ni, and he bought water, rice, and flour, which were placed in his space as food reserves for the base.
After the people at the Hope Base knew that they would move to a place near the hotel after tomorrow, almost everyone bought water and flour, and steamed buns when they were hungry on the way.
They plan to pack up and take away all the items that can be taken away from the base, and carry away anything that is convenient to take away from home. They hope that everyone at the base is excited.
"Thank you, Boss Yun, for saving our Hope Base from danger." Xin Qing bowed 90 degrees to Yun Ni, thanking her for coming to Hope Base today and saving them.
Yun Ni waved his hand, smiled and helped Xin Qing up, "You're welcome."
"Boss Yun, we'll pack up the base in the next two days and then go to the hotel." Xin Qing lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. "It's just that we haven't left the base for a long time, and we don't know the route to the hotel very well."
"You have the hotel flyer, right? Just touch the hotel address on the flyer and a light will appear, guiding you in the right direction."
So, do you believe in light?
