Chapter 346 Professor
With so many people, the hotel lobby became noisy and chaotic.
Dong Hui was woken up and came out of the room with a gloomy face.
The door slammed shut.
Dong Hui arrived at the lobby, about to lash out, when he caught a glimpse of the rabbit who had beaten him up standing at the door.
He suppressed his anger, sized up the group of newcomers with an unfriendly expression, glared at them fiercely, and then left through the main gate.
"Who is that person? So arrogant."
The speaker was a burly man named Deng Hongfang, a minor leader on Peach Blossom Island.
After listening to the stories of the first few people who landed on the island, he spat at Dong Hui's departing figure, "So he's just like us, not a superhuman, what's with all the arrogance?"
The lobby was noisy.
Yun Zhao was at the front desk and did not see this scene.
Her attention was focused on the registration book, watching everyone line up to register.
These people already knew that the island's leader was a powerful superhuman, so no one dared to act rashly. They lined up as Yun Zhao had instructed and went forward to register one by one.
Yun Zhao examined each one carefully.
Until the elderly man wearing glasses stepped forward.
He had a refined and scholarly air, his hair was half-white, his forehead was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, and his eyes carried a hint of weariness from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.
He stepped forward and wrote in the register: Cao Wenxu, 59 years old, biological researcher, residing at...
Yun Zhao's gaze fixed on him, and she suddenly asked, "Professor Cao does biological research?"
Cao Wenxu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to speak to him.
He replied gently, "Yes."
Yun Zhao then asked, "Do you know what zombies are all about?"
Cao Wenxu gave a wry smile. "Many people have asked me this question. I'm sorry, I really don't know."
Yun Zhao saw that his registration book listed him as being from XX province, which meant he wasn't a local.
Cao Wenxu naturally noticed her gaze and took the initiative to say, "My husband passed away a few days ago, and my children, being sensible, signed me up for a tour group so that I can get out and about more."
Who would have thought that this departure would be a one-way trip?
Touched by the old man's words, Qi Ling lowered her head.
He was the same; as mountains and rivers turned and the sun and moon alternated, two hundred years had passed when he looked back.
Home has become a distant place I can never return to.
The rabbit sighed and gently patted him through his clothes.
Everyone has their own story.
It is countless stories that make up this world.
After Cao Wenxu registered and received his room key, he stared at the room number and suddenly paused, "Not this hotel?"
Were the people from Peach Blossom Island separated?
Yun Zhao explained for Qi Ling: "This place is already full, so you'll stay at the one next door."
We definitely need to separate.
It's already difficult to manage, and having hundreds of people who know each other living together in one place will only make things more difficult later on.
Cao Wenxu nodded, said nothing more, thanked him, and left with his remaining belongings.
Perhaps because his expertise was relevant, the leaders of several small groups on Peach Blossom Island treated him with great courtesy.
If there are supplies available, give them to him first.
They had all been hoping that the government would come to their rescue and that the professor would be able to take them away with him.

After settling everyone in, the three returned to their hotel.
"Sister Yun Zhao, is that professor...?" Rabbit was halfway through her sentence when she noticed Liao Yuxuan and the others in the lobby.
He and another companion had just come out of the warehouse, where several cases of bottled water were placed on the food cart.
That was the original rule: newcomers to the island could only receive two bottles of water.
Since Team Zero was always away, the keys to two of the supply rooms were entrusted to them for safekeeping.
Liao Yuxuan also saw them, but he was busy at the moment. He looked up, greeted them, and hurriedly pushed his cart to the next door.
The two carts quickly disappeared through the doorway.
After they left, Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, all six of them showed up."
Kids, high school students, college students, petty criminals, veterans, professors.
Different age groups, different identities.
Yun Zhao thought Xie Tu was right; the gatekeeper must have built this zombie apocalypse based on these six people.
The likelihood that they are the gatekeepers is extremely low.
Qi Ling didn't quite understand. It was his first mission, and he only had a vague understanding of these things. He turned his head and asked, "Should we place them separately? That would make it easier to observe them from nearby."
Yun Zhao shook his head: "We can't let them live here for the time being. The place is full of supplies upstairs and downstairs. If we let Dong Hui move in, something bad will most likely happen."
Six college students couldn't subdue him, let alone children and the elderly.
Team Zero couldn't stay on the island to supervise them.
"Let's get the first batch of supplies out first, and then we can deal with these issues."
Yun Zhao said, "The supplies are very important. These supplies can probably be exchanged for a lot of points."
Upon hearing about points, Qi Ling immediately perked up. "I'll go check out the books Duan Xi brought back and study how to operate the transport ship."
At least after this trip, he will be able to get a lot of points.
Qi Ling has only one goal: to pay off all her debts.
Yun Zhao also said, "Let's go to the suite on the third floor. I'll take a look at those two novels."

That evening, Xie Tu and his three companions drove back in four military trucks. Instead of driving them in, they parked them on the opposite bank.
Instead of returning directly to the hotel, the four of them took a stroll around the safe base.
As the number of survivors increased, the town gradually became more lively.
As dusk fell, the workers from the north returned, and newcomers also wandered around, visiting the town's architecture.
As a tourist destination, Dongyi Town has an academy, a jade shop, and three museums on the island. It is now very safe, and people simply come out in groups to explore the environment.
People can be seen chatting everywhere.
It was filled with noise, somewhat resembling the scene before the apocalypse.
The four men walked along the stone path, each dressed in a sharp black combat uniform, holding a gun, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Those who had just arrived from Peach Blossom Island were extremely reserved when they first saw these 'superpowered individuals,' even the most arrogant group of people were incredibly cautious.
Unsure of the temperaments of the superhumans, no one dared to approach them or try to get close, instinctively making way for them.
Xie Tu had no expression on his face. After walking around the north side, he returned to the next room and told those who were going out the next day to meet in the lobby at seven o'clock in the morning.
The people in the lobby nodded in agreement and helped to notify the others.
"What are we having for dinner tonight? Hopefully not seafood again."
Tao Haohao muttered, "At first I thought it was pretty good, but after eating this every day, even the best food doesn't taste the same anymore."
"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating."
Song Liang complained, "It's good enough that we have food. If you're complaining now, you won't be able to get any food when we get out."
Xie Tu didn't want to pay them any attention.
We went back to the hotel for dinner and a meeting to arrange tomorrow's tasks.
Yun Zhao remained in her suite on the third floor, nestled on a single sofa, reading "The Apocalypse Has Arrived, I Became the Zombie King's Little Wife" with a conflicted expression.
She had only managed to read less than a third of it all afternoon and was almost at her breaking point.
Yun Zhao was very puzzled, "How can a human fall in love with a zombie? What's the difference between that and falling in love with a mutant?"
One was covered in rotting flesh, the other in black slime.
What kind of person with such a perverse taste could do something like this?
