Chapter 7: Don’t be so weak
Yan Chu grabbed the person and turned to run, then cursed this unreliable potato three hundred times in his heart.
Compared to his cautiousness before, Yan Chu was running at lightning speed as he headed straight for the elevator in the lobby.
Fortunately, the elevator was still on the first floor. She rushed in and quickly pressed the door closing button, then stared anxiously at the gradually increasing floor numbers.
"Why are you so anxious suddenly?" Gu Qinyuan asked her.
Yan Chu bit her lip: "My invisibility time is almost running out."
Gu Qinyuan looked at Yan Chu thoughtfully, then held her hand tightly.
"It's okay, don't worry."
How can I not worry?
On the prompt panel in front of her, the R card countdown had turned into a shocking red, with only 10 seconds left.
Yan Chu reminded Gu Qinyuan who was standing beside him: "Turn right when you get out of the elevator. It's the first room on the right."
The elevator reached the 25th floor with a beep. Yan Chu didn't care that there were still zombies in the corridor. He took out his room card and rushed out.
At this moment, the invisibility countdown has reached the last second.
The next second, she and the man next to her appeared at the same time!
The stiff and slow zombies in the corridor all turned their heads at this moment, as if they had discovered some delicious food, with murderous eyes and rushing towards them!
Oh no! It's too late!
At the critical moment, Gu Qinyuan stepped forward to stand in front of her, kicked the zombie that was rushing towards him, then took her room card and opened the door quickly.
"drop--"
The door opened.
Yan Chu was pushed in by him, the fruit knife in her hand was snatched away, and then the door was quickly closed again.
……What?
Yan Chu looked back in disbelief. She was the only one who entered the room, and the man stayed outside!
She subconsciously stood up and tried to open the door.
However, the moment he grasped the door handle, Yan Chu found that his palms were cold.
She knew very well that she actually had no fighting ability at the moment.
The result of opening the door might be that everyone would die together.
Yan Chu took a deep breath, picked up the wooden statue on the table and opened the door without hesitation.
We have all died once, so we are not allowed to be so weak!
She was ready for a desperate fight, but after opening the door, the scene in front of her stunned her.
In the dim corridor, the man stood there alone.
He held a knife in his hand, the tip of the blade flashed with cold light, and dark red blood kept dripping along the blade to the ground.
At his feet were more than a dozen zombie corpses.
The 25th floor was unprecedentedly quiet. All the zombies on this floor were killed by him in just ten seconds.
Yan Chu looked at him in shock, then looked at the zombies on the ground, and then looked at him again.
This man was able to single-handedly take out a group of zombies in such a short time.
Is this reasonable?
Gu Qinyuan turned and walked towards her, touching her head with his bloodless hand in a somewhat amused manner: "Don't stand here, go in."
Yan Chu: "Oh...oh..."
After closing the door, Yan Chu was still in shock until the man whispered to her:
"You opened the door just now, were you trying to save me?"
Yan Chu: "...It's obvious that you don't need my help at all."
You have to know that today is only the fourth day of the zombie outbreak. Most people can only run away and don’t even know how to deal with the zombies.
Gu Qinyuan casually took a tissue and wiped the blood off his hands: "I was just forced to fight. You are much stronger than me."
As he spoke, the smile on his lips deepened, and he asked meaningfully:
"I heard that after the zombie outbreak, some infected humans don't mutate, but instead awaken special abilities. Your invisibility is..."
Yan Chu immediately shook his head: "No, I'm not infected by zombies."
Wait, that's not right.
The zombie outbreak has only been going on for a few days, so it’s not likely that humans will awaken their superpowers that quickly, right?
She vaguely remembered that everyone was just an ordinary person in the early stages of the novel.
How did this person know about superpowers?
Yan Chu rolled his eyes and made up a reason that sounded both outrageous and reasonable.
"Actually... that was the invisibility talisman my fortune teller left me. It was the only one, and it's gone now."
She thought she would have to explain herself, but unexpectedly Gu Qinyuan did not continue to ask questions, but just said "hmm" lightly.
He lowered his eyes to look at her: "My name is Gu Qinyuan, what's yours?"
Yan Chu arched his eyebrows and said, "My name is Yan Chu."

At the same time, in another apartment in the city, Shen Ya looked at the text message sent by Gu Qinyuan with a confused look on his face.
[I've been rescued. Don't look for me. Just live well.]
Shen Ya: “……?”
He knew all these words, but they looked strange when put together.
With his boss's skills, is it still possible for others to save him?
Shen Ya immediately sent a text message to Gu Qinyuan to inquire about the situation, but after clicking send, it prompted "Failed to send".
...?
He tried several more times, but the message still failed to be sent.
Only then did Shen Ya realize that there was now a big cross in the upper right corner of the phone where the signal was displayed.
No way? At this very moment.
Shen Ya suddenly wailed and fell on the sofa.
He turned over and looked through the door at the piles of cardboard boxes in the room.
Speaking of which, the boss has been acting really weird lately. He bought a lot of supplies and stockpiled them at home before the zombie outbreak, as if he had known all this would happen.
That day, the boss accompanied him to the hospital to visit He Fan who had been in a car accident.
As a result, when I heard that He Fan unfortunately passed away without rescue, the boss passed away in a good mood.
...I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all.

Although the presidential suite is very large, the living room, dining room and office area occupy most of the space, and only the master bedroom has a large bed.
This big bed was naturally occupied by Yan Chu. Fortunately, the sofa in the living room was spacious enough to accommodate an adult man.
Gu Qinyuan spread the quilt and blanket on the sofa which was one person wide, and this was his "bed".
He walked to the French window and looked down, suddenly curling his lips and smiling.
From his perspective, he could clearly see the cargo box directly below.
No wonder Yan Chu could find him directly.
The bathroom was filled with mist, and Yan Chu lay relaxed in the bathtub, enjoying this rare moment of comfort.
As she was drowsy in the water, Gu Qinyuan's overly handsome face suddenly flashed through her mind.
Yan Chu suddenly opened his eyes.
If you think about it carefully, such a handsome guy is unlikely to be a passerby, right?
Did she just happen to meet some character in the plot?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and Yan Chu sat up straight in the bathtub.
"Potato, let me ask you, is there a person named Gu Qinyuan in the book?"
Potato was quiet for a long time, so quiet that Yan Chu thought it would not answer, but it finally uttered a word.
[…I forgot to tell you a piece of bad news. A malicious bug occurred when I was loading the data, and now I can't extract the original storyline.]
Yan Chu: “…”
What use is there for you?
Potato felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject.
[Oh, by the way, since the owner has successfully completed the novice mission, the card draw pool has been unlocked. The owner can choose whether to draw a card~]
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, she killed a zombie.
Yan Chu summoned the panel, and sure enough, the lottery pool had been unlocked, and there was one more lottery ticket.
She couldn't help but fire a single shot.
A flash of blue light appeared.
Or R card.
...I have a feeling I'm going to have to eat the guaranteed minimum.
Yan Chu originally thought that this R card also had some special abilities, but when he turned it over, he saw a line of large characters written on it:
Delicious hot pot set meal.
???
Is this ok?
