Shu Mei was lost in deep thought and did not notice that everyone present had already stopped discussing and their eyes were vaguely fixed on her.
When she finally noticed it, she looked at everyone in confusion, then turned to the student union president and said, "Why are you all looking at me?"
The president of the student union scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Although there are a few of us who have superpowers, our own strength is not strong, and our superpowers can't play much of a role. If we rush in and fight with the group of people inside now, I guess we won't be able to defeat them."
Another boy continued, "Judging from their previous formation, these people must have bad intentions. They may have some dangerous weapons and deadly traps waiting for us. We were just ordinary college students before the end of the world, so we can't just rush in and fight them with our flesh and blood. So we can only choose to outsmart them."
The president of the student union said, "You are the strongest among us, so we will discuss a countermeasure for the time being. However, the task of counterattack this time will mainly fall on you. Do you think this is okay?"
Shu Mei had thought something terrible was going to happen when she saw their posture, but she didn't expect it to be just like this. Anyway, it was just to deal with a group of people who suddenly jumped out, so she nodded naturally and said, "Of course, those who are capable should do more work. But what should we do next?"
The one who answered her question this time was the female psychic with enhanced five senses. She said, "Of course we can't rush in now. Since we have decided to outsmart them, we need to assess the strength of both sides. It's morning now. When we went to collect supplies, we lost some energy, while the other side is strong. I just heard their plan, which is to catch us all in one fell swoop when we go back."
The student union president summarized, saying, "So, the result of our discussion is to hold off for now. When the enemy is exhausted and falls asleep at night, that will be the best time for us to rush in and launch a counterattack. Only in this way can we catch them off guard, and then our chances of winning will be greater."
After he finished speaking, the others nodded, indicating that this was the result of their previous discussion.
Shu Mei also thought it was a very good method. Although her strength had increased a lot, she also knew that she had no special powers. Even if she practiced the Su Nu sword technique, it was still no match for modern hot weapons. Martial arts masters could not avoid guns and ammunition, so she was still at a disadvantage.
Not to mention that she didn't know the specific origins of these people and knew nothing about them. If they also had superpowers, she would be in great danger if she just rushed in and fought hard, so she chose to follow the crowd and listen to everyone's opinions.
Now that everyone has decided on a strategy, the next step is to plan it in detail.
The one with all five senses enhanced spoke first, "We can't stay here any longer. It would be bad if we are discovered. There are too many kinds of superpowers after the apocalypse. Since I can awaken the superpower of five senses, the other party may also have this ability and may be able to sense our movements. Moreover, we have been here for too long. Even if we are searching for supplies, it shouldn't take so long. They must have noticed something wrong. We are so close to them now. If they open the door to search for us, won't we be caught by them?! So the most urgent thing right now is to find a place to rest temporarily, gather our strength, and discuss countermeasures."
Naturally, her proposal was agreed by everyone, so everyone tiptoed out of the stairwell and headed downstairs.
On the way, everyone discussed and unanimously decided that they could not go back to the big kitchen they had been to before, because their motive for coming out was to search for supplies. Since these people had captured the survivors left behind, they must have known their movements. After a period of time, the other party might find something wrong and send people out to search, and we would be left waiting.
At this time, a boy with glasses who had been silent adjusted his glasses and said shyly, "I know there is a place in the hotel that can be used for both offense and defense. It's the monitoring room in the hotel. Judging from the current situation, the hotel's power supply facilities are still supplying power, so the monitoring facilities are still operating normally. We can stay in the monitoring room, so that we can see what's happening on the fifth floor through the monitoring room. At the same time, the monitoring room is usually a relatively solid place built in the hotel, which is enough for us to resist the zombies from the outside world. We can stay there until it's time to act at night."
As soon as these words were spoken, they were unanimously agreed by everyone, so everyone went to the corner room on the second floor and came to the door of the monitoring room.
The door of the monitoring room was tightly closed. Everyone felt disappointed but also hopeful, because just from the outside, they could tell that the monitoring room was built very solidly, and they could rely on this door to prevent losses.
However, they could not directly destroy the door, so how to enter the monitoring room became a difficult problem.
The psychic with enhanced five senses once again put his ear to the door, listening to the movement inside.
When everyone saw her behavior, they stopped talking and stopped moving their hands and feet, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
After listening for a while, the girl pointed at the door, made a two sign, and said, "There are not many zombies in there, only two. We can easily get rid of them. But the door is locked from the inside. We have to think of a way to get in without destroying it."
It was almost nonsense. Everyone present knew that this was the best way to do it, but how to pry the door open became a big problem. They were not the kind of thieves who had inherited their family traditions, and today's door locks were advanced and complicated. Their original purpose of construction was to prevent thieves, so how could they be pried open easily? If this were the case, this place would not be called a safe monitoring room.
While everyone was scratching their heads in confusion, Shu Mei suddenly laughed, "It seems that after the end of the world, we have all become straightforward savages. The first thing we think of when we see a door is not how to find the key, but how to pick the lock."
After everyone was stunned for a moment, they all laughed. The boy with glasses said, "As far as I know, the key to the monitoring room is usually in triplicate. That is to say, there are three people holding the key in the entire hotel. Two of them are the staff of the monitoring room, and the other is the supervisor who is in charge of the hotel's trivia. The two staff members should be the two people who have turned into zombies in the monitoring room, and the supervisor, I have seen him a few times before. Why don't we go to the first floor to take a look? The people there are basically all hotel staff, and the supervisor may be among them."
The other boy tilted his head and said slowly, "If it was the supervisor, I also remember what that man looked like, and I can tell you for sure that I saw the supervisor who turned into a zombie on the first floor, because he was wearing a large bunch of keys, and when he was killed, it made a sharp sound."
After he finished speaking, the president of the student union said, "If that's the case, then we'll send two people down to find the key. How about this? Shu Mei and Li Hong go down to the first floor together, and the others will hide in a random room first, and then come out after they come back and open the door. Shu Mei, what do you say?"
Shu Mei naturally agreed, and the heroine who had been acting as an invisible person beside him stood up slightly at this time, and then quickly regained her composure. She looked at Shu Mei with cold eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
So, the matter was decided. Li Hong, the boy wearing glasses, was protected by Shu Mei and left the crowd and came to the hall on the first floor quietly.
The boy with glasses looked at the corpses on the ground, frowned in disgust, and then quickly started searching. Shu Mei looked around, and after finding that there was no threat around, he turned to look at Li Hong. Li Hong was quick. He quickly took a bunch of keys from a headless zombie. He held the keys tightly in his palm to prevent the keys from colliding and making sharp sounds.
The two achieved their goal and immediately turned around to leave. Li Hong walked in front excitedly, while Shu Mei was still alert. However, she was paying attention to the movements around her and forgot to stare at her feet. She accidentally kicked a zombie's head, and the zombie's head immediately flew far away.
Shu Mei glanced at the zombie's head in surprise and thought in confusion: When did her strength become so great?
While she was hesitating, Li Hong thought something was wrong, so he immediately shrank back and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"
His gaze swept across the head of the zombie that rolled out, then returned to Shu Mei.
Shu Mei tilted her head and said to herself, "I always feel that something is wrong..." Seeing that Li Hong's face turned pale with fear, she quickly said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's go back first."
Having said that, he urged Li Hong to leave the hall. Shu Mei squinted at the zombie's head, but couldn't make out anything. So he followed Li Hong and quickly returned to the outside of the control room on the second floor.
Li Hong took out the keys and tried them one by one. After trying seven or eight keys, he finally opened the door of the monitoring room.
The other students who were hiding in the dark also came out one after another when they saw this. The previous strength-type psychic and another Martian psychic walked at the front of the team. The moment the door was opened, they quickly rushed in to deal with the two zombies and took them out, completely destroying all traces.
After all this was done, the remaining mermaids entered.
The control room is very large, and because the hotel's power supply facilities are still operating normally, and when the end of the world comes, the two staff members inside are still staring at the pictures in the control room, so after they enter the door, they see fifteen surveillance screens, all of which are showing surveillance pictures, and it seems that all the cameras have not been damaged.
This hotel is built on the outskirts of the ancient town. It is originally a remote hotel in a small place, so the hotel's surveillance facilities are not very sophisticated, and it is completely incomparable with other large hotels. However, the surveillance images transmitted by these only a dozen cameras cover most corners of the hotel, even the fifth floor that they are most concerned about is no exception. There are three cameras there, recording everything that happens on the fifth floor. This scene is enough to satisfy everyone.
Several boys who were good at computers immediately shifted the focus of surveillance to the camera on the fifth floor. Almost the next moment, part of the scene on the fifth floor was broadcast to the big screen through the camera, and a disgusting atrocity was being played out there.
The girls were so scared that they covered their mouths and turned away, not wanting to watch any further. The boys, on the other hand, looked at the evil being played out inside with serious expressions, with veins bulging on their faces.
Shu Mei just glanced at the scene in the camera, then turned around and sat down on the sofa.
She had too many doubts in her mind, and she was also a person who had seen the world and had experienced several apocalyptic worlds like this, so these scenes were almost nothing to her.
Yun An Cang also quietly came to Shu Mei's side. When everyone else's attention was focused on other things, he came very close to Shu Mei and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Those strangers!" Shu Mei answered subconsciously. When she saw who was coming, she turned her head away angrily, playing the role of a vicious female supporting role and was too lazy to pay attention to the female lead. Yun Ancang actually smiled nonchalantly, lay lazily on the sofa, pulled a blanket from the monitoring room, and fell asleep like that.
Shu Mei leaned his head back against the sofa, raised one hand to cover his eyes, and carefully recalled everything that happened after he crossed over to this virtual world.
This time, reality once again deviated from the plot. When the heroine was in a normal state, the only one who could change the plot was her, the mission executor from the virtual time and space.
She recalled in her mind everything she had done in the past few days, but after thinking for a long time she didn't find anything strange, so she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately, imitating Yun Ancang.
Seeing that Shu Mei was resting, the others did not disturb him.
After what happened this morning, everyone's mood was like a roller coaster, changing rapidly. I didn't feel it when I was busy hiding before, but now that I have lazed down and sat on the sofa, I immediately feel hungry.
So, the girls took the initiative to take on the task of cooking. Actually, cooking meant just picking out ready-made products, such as snacks. After all, they were not out of danger yet, and if they made a fire to cook, the smell would spread out, which would expose them.
The boys spontaneously gathered together to discuss countermeasures. The president of the student union was still the leader among the boys. On the one hand, he was a powerful supernatural being, and on the other hand, everyone was used to it. In the end times, a pillar was needed, and the president of the student union was calm and self-controlled, and had the power to calm people down, so he was naturally named the leader of the team.
The president of the student union pinched his nose, first counted the people with special abilities in the team, and asked each of them to put forward three suggestions. He screened the effective measures among them, listed them one by one, and formulated an action plan.
At noon, everyone ate lunch casually. The boys continued to discuss, while the girls leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, after everyone had finished their dinner, the president of the Student Union explained the guidelines for this action in detail and asked everyone to keep them firmly in mind before the formal action began.
They left the monitoring room quietly and came to the fourth floor together. After choosing a corner, they did not continue to go up, but randomly found a guest room, opened the window, and let a wood-type mutant build a climbable bridge with vines between the windows of the fourth and fifth floors. Afterwards, the boy protected the girl and followed the vines to the corner of the fifth floor.
They acted according to the plan and divided the work. The psychic with enhanced five senses came to the fifth floor first, listened to the movements on the fifth floor, and knew that there were only five people in charge of keeping watch tonight, and the total number of people in this group was only thirty or forty.
The strength user cut off and created a little noise to attract the guards. He then knocked them out, tied them up, threw them into the large suite and locked them up.
They went around the corner, and the psychic with enhanced five senses quickly checked the door, then stepped back and whispered, "There are still a few people playing cards at the door, and inside the suite, uh... there are still people playing."
She bit her lip and continued angrily, "However, most of the people are still resting. Don't worry. We just need to slowly deal with the people who are at the door."
As they said that, the strength and fire psychics walked over, knocked the man unconscious before they could make any move, tied him up and threw him into the suite.
After doing all this, everyone gained confidence. Shu Mei glanced at the door and chose to make some noise to lure the people inside out and fall into the trap.
Their plan was very good, and although those people were strong, they could not withstand the sneak attack from the students, so they had no time to react and were completely knocked unconscious.
Just when everyone was excited, they didn't notice that more than a dozen people came out of the toilet. Together with the people who came out of the suite, they blocked the students' way out.
Shu Mei's heart sank. The situation was dire, but it was not completely without a solution.
She stood up and said coldly: "We are just ordinary students, why do you have to hold us so tightly?"
These men are all muscular and strong. Some of them are shirtless and have hideous tattoos on their bodies. They don't look like good people at first glance.
The leading man looked rather elegant. He smiled softly and said, "You can't say that. I know these people are ordinary college students, but you are not, right?"
As they were talking, the two teams that were originally staying in the room were caught out by the men without any clue. They stared at everyone present with vicious eyes, especially Shu Mei.
The elegant man casually touched the neck of a pretty girl and said, "Didn't you give up on these people and choose to leave? You're so naive to come back and act like a hero now."
As he said this, he pulled out his pistol and shot the girl dead with one shot. All the students present were stunned with fear. One of them even couldn't help but screamed, but was immediately dragged away by the men behind him and slapped unconscious.
Shu Mei's face became increasingly gloomy. These people were too difficult to deal with. They clearly did not appear in the plot, and they were very powerful. Who were they?
Shu Mei asked, "Who are you?" Such a person could not be unknown in the end times, he must appear in the plot.
The elegant man seemed surprised, and then he acted like a gentleman and said, "My name is Wanqi Liang, beautiful lady, may I know your name?"
"Shu Mei, Li Shu Mei." Shu Mei answered in a daze. She really didn't expect that she would meet the villain boss of this novel here? ! Wanqi Liang was a big boss of the underworld before the end of the world. His subordinates were all over the country. When the end of the world came, he awakened his psychic ability and became an extremely powerful superpower. Not to mention the large number of people under his command. It was completely the standard configuration of the overlord of the end of the world. Even the heroine was not as strong as him. Until the end of the world, this man was killed by the heroine and failed completely. How come he appeared here?
What was such a big shot doing in this little-known ancient town? Sightseeing?
Wanqi Liang smiled and nodded. His handsome and gentle face still gave him extra points. He said, "Actually, I am not here for sightseeing. My subordinates reported some things that interested me a few days ago, so I came here. I have long admired you, Miss Li Shumei, the only daughter of General Li."
Shu Mei's heart sank completely. She originally wanted to use her identity to temporarily suppress these people, but she didn't expect that the leader of these people was Wanqi Liang. What she didn't expect was that the other party didn't take her seriously at all.
Wanqi Liang was born with a very high level of psychic ability, and he had been able to call the shots for many years, so he had the upper hand against a college student like Shu Mei who was just starting out. He smiled faintly, which was very contagious, and looked like a gentleman. Who would have thought that he had just killed a person without a care?
He said, "I am here for you, Miss Shu Mei."
After he finished speaking, the faces of the students behind Shu Lu all changed, and the team that had been bullied looked at Shu Lu with resentment. The look in their eyes revealed that the person who had harmed them was Li Shu Lu.
Shu Lu was a little bit amused and helpless. These people were clearly harmed by the man in front of them named Wanqi Liang, but because the other party was too powerful, they could only blame Shu Lu and regarded her as the object of hatred. Looking at their eyes, they even wanted to bite Shu Lu to death.
Shu Mei said helplessly: "Mr. Wanqi, since you said you came here for me, then I want to know what your purpose is this time?"
Wanqi Liang leaned against the wall casually and said softly, "This is not a good place to talk. Why don't we go to the room and talk in detail?"
Shu Mei naturally couldn't say no, because the lives of all the students present depended on her alone. She could only take a step forward. At this moment, a soft and powerful hand embraced her, and a slightly hoarse and gloomy voice rang in her ears, saying, "Whatever you have to say, let's talk about it here."
Her tone was arrogant and her words were emotionless, yet one could not help but admire her courage in seeking death.
The students felt as if they were being strangled by the neck, and the opponent's men attacked in rage, intending to teach the woman a lesson.
Shu Mei was held in the man's arms, his soft chest pressed tightly against her back, and the sound of his gentle breathing rang in her ears. It was Yun An Cang.
Yun An Cang smiled faintly and said, "Here's a meeting gift for you."
As he spoke, the subordinate who rushed over turned from a two-meter-tall sturdy man into a pair of rotten meat in the instant Yun Ancang's words fell from the ground.
Her movements were too fast and her methods were even more brutal. She was a thousand times more terrifying than Wanqi Liang. The students were so scared that they retreated to the corner of the wall. Wanqi Liang's eyes were covered with blood mist, and it was obvious that he was furious.
Wanqi Liang and Yun Ancang looked at each other. Shu Mei felt puzzled. When did the heroine become so powerful? Isn't this technique of crushing people from a distance the manifestation of the heroine's devouring ability in the late apocalypse? How come the heroine's strength was so high in the early apocalypse?
My love, are you still alive?
While Shu Mei was in a state of confusion, Wanqi Liang had calmed down. He glanced at Yun Ancang deeply, gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you?"
"Yun'an Cang."
Wanqi Liang: I have never heard of this person!
Wanqi Liang glanced at Shu Mei in her arms, sneered, and said, "It seems that you have also discovered the difference in this person. She has a space on her body that can preserve and hold countless things. It may even have the function of planting. I think you are attracted by this point."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Mei's eyes widened in surprise, thinking: Space?! How did this guy know that she had space?
Yun An Cang shook his head and said, "Tell me how you found it."
Wanqi Liang was irritated by the other party's tone of commanding a puppy, but under the pressure of the other party's strong force, he still said reluctantly: "Her collection of supplies is not a trivial matter, and the hotel waiters were originally my subordinates. They discovered Li Shumai's abnormality and reported it to me. Later, they reported Li Shumai's daily behavior. I knew that Li Shumai must have a rare treasure, so I took a plane here, but I didn't expect the end of the world to break out that night. I also understand why she would collect supplies on a large scale. It turns out that she has long known that the end of the world is coming."
"Oh, you are really strong and kind Li Shumei, right? You knew that the end of the world was coming, but you chose to hide it. It was not until this time that you showed your strength to let everyone admire you. You are really amazing."
After Wanqi Liang finished speaking, everyone present changed color, especially the students of the school. They looked at Shu Mei with disbelief and hatred. Thinking of everything they had encountered that day, and how many people on the school trip had died innocently, and she was so indifferent, they couldn't help but feel chilled. Even the president of the Student Union had a sullen face at this moment. Anger and a feeling of being betrayed controlled him. He glared at Shu Mei fiercely, then sat in the corner, not intending to watch any more.
Shu Mei smiled bitterly, but Yun An Cang narrowed her eyes with satisfaction. She didn't like Shu Mei focusing her attention on these people. She had been enduring it before, but now, after Shu Mei was completely betrayed by these people, she would understand that in this world, she was still the best to her.
Sure enough, Wanqi Liang said at this time: "My purpose this time was originally just for Li Shumei, and has nothing to do with you college students. The reason why I chose extraordinary means was to provoke Li Shumei. Now my goal has been achieved. As long as you take the initiative to hand Li Shumei over to me, I will let everyone present go, and I can also take you to the survivor base in City A, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your lives."
His words were very provocative, and as soon as this set of whips and candies came into play, they won over everyone except Yun Ancang.
Seeing that the president of the student union did not care about the matter, a tall girl came over, looked at Shu Mei with disgust, and said, "You should take the initiative to follow Mr. Wanqi. We are classmates, and you don't want us to turn around and deal with you, right? If you had been kinder and told us about the end of the world, so many of us would not have died. All my relatives and friends died. This is all your fault. The team that stayed behind this time suffered such a disaster because of you. You..."
As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes. She actually raised her hand to slap Shu Mei, but before she got close, she was frightened by Yun Ancang's cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person. She took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Shu Mei leaned against Yun An Cang somewhat helplessly. Although she knew that this was a virtual world, she also had some feelings for it at first. Otherwise, she would not have protected these students in the beginning. As for the news of the end of the world, what would it matter even if she told them? People who had not seen it with their own eyes would never believe it. People also said that 2012 was the end of the world, but there were still many people doing their own things.
However, these are true human nature, and she cannot change other people's views. If she were in their shoes, she would also be resented by such people.
She said, "Mr. Wanqi, what do you need me to do?"
Wanqi Liang's eyes lit up immediately, and he said hastily, "Give me your treasure, and I will forgive you for what happened."
Shu Mei thought to herself that this space jade pendant was not hers, but belonged to the heroine of the novel. Thinking of this, she carefully glanced at Yun An Cang, and seeing that he didn't care at all, she reached out and took the space jade pendant from her neck, saying, "I bought this on the antique street. You only need to drip blood on it to enter the space. There is a huge unlimited space inside, but there is no air and you can't farm..."
Before she could finish her words, Wanqi Liang snatched the jade pendant from her hand. He immediately cut his finger and dripped blood on the space jade pendant. After the blood was absorbed by the jade pendant, it became like Shu Mei's initial action. The red light quickly sucked Wanqi Liang's blood. In the blink of an eye, Wanqi Liang became half a human body and became emaciated.
But even so, his eyes were shining like a wolf. Shu Mei said, "Now that I've given you the things, you can let him go now."
Wanqi Liang waved his hand and his men released the students. Shu Mei looked at the reunited people and turned away helplessly under the hateful gazes from them, while Yun Ancang followed without hesitation.
She said nothing, walked quietly behind Shu Mei, and followed her out of the ancient town.
Yun'an Cang had a relaxed smile on her face. The plan was going as she expected.
She started planning early on based on her inexplicable extra memories, her love for the woman in front of her, and the so-called heroine-playing system mission.
When she was at the antique street, she saw the space jade pendant at first sight, but in order to attract Shu Mei's gaze and attention, she picked out more than twenty jade pendants. She liked the feeling of Shu Mei following her around, as if she had become the center of Shu Mei's life.
However, just doing this was not enough. The moment she got the space jade pendant, she immediately dripped blood to make the jade pendant recognize her as her master. The jade pendant separated two spaces, one with spiritual energy for farming, and the other could only be used for storage.
After she became the actual owner of the jade pendant space, the jade pendant space disappeared into her body. The piece that Shu Mei took away was a replica of the jade pendant space, which could only open the storage space, and it had to be agreed by her, the real owner.
She could feel the warm blood flowing in Shu Mei's body when he opened the space jade pendant, so sweet and so lingering.
Originally, only one drop of wine was enough, but the blood attracted her and made her want more and more. It connected her blood to her natal space, so intimately that she couldn't stop.
After that, she knew everything about Shu Mei's collection of supplies, and she leaked the news of the space to Wanqi Liang, the biggest villain boss in the apocalypse. Today, Wanqi Liang's appearance made Shu Mei give up on his classmates and caused him to lose half of his blood and energy, leaving him completely vulnerable.
Not only that, when Wanqi Liang opened the storage jade pendant, she placed a poisonous insect in Wanqi Liang's body, so that Wanqi Liang's life was completely in her hands. She could let him live or die if she wanted him to. Why should she follow the plot step by step? Wouldn't it be faster this way?
As for those who hurt Shu Mei, Yun Ancang sneered. Wanqi Liang was a sinister and vicious person. It would be fine if the secret of the space was known by his own people, but these students would definitely not survive the night, so she would not have to dirty her hands.
Yun Ancang looked at Shu Mei's lonely figure with deep eyes, and a strange sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. A voice said greedily: That's it, that's it, no one else is trustworthy, only I am your support, you can only belong to me!
