Chapter 118: Is There Such a Place
Chapter 118: Is There Such a Place
Chapter 118
Gu Wanyin walked along the street.
The situation in L City was even more devastating than in City A. It looked like the area had experienced a powerful earthquake, with most buildings having collapsed.
She suddenly had some doubts - in this situation, could antique jade items and such really be preserved?
But it didn't matter. As long as she could attract customers, once they learned about the hotel's situation, they would surely find ways to exchange items for points.
She walked a bit further and noticed what seemed to be a few people peeking around not far away.
Gu Wanyin immediately put on a smile and greeted them warmly: "Is anyone there? Hello!"
Those few people, probably deciding she wasn't a dangerous individual, cautiously approached.
However, they didn't dare get too close, stopping about ten meters away to ask: "Who are you? Did you just come from the south? Did you see any planes?"
"I flew the plane here," Gu Wanyin said. "I..."
Before she could finish, one person exclaimed: "It was you? Where did you get a plane? Are you alone? How did you manage to fly it? Did you find fuel? Wasn't the plane stolen?"
The questions came like machine gun fire, giving Gu Wanyin a headache.
"To be honest, I'm not sure how to explain it all. What I want to tell everyone is that I've opened a hotel in City A called the Peace Hotel."
As Gu Wanyin said this, one of the men suddenly looked startled.
She continued: "In the Peace Hotel, there are various rooms and plenty of supplies. Moreover, inside the hotel, you're immune to natural disasters, zombies, and other threats. You can exchange Crystal Cores, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, jade items, pens, watches, and other normal items for points. With points, you can stay at the hotel."
"Is there really such a place? Are you joking?"
"Even if there are supplies, it's just a hotel. How can it be immune to disasters and zombies? Are you some kind of high-level defense system ability user?"
"Even at the highest level, that shouldn't be possible! I've never seen anything like it."
Gu Wanyin had expected that many people wouldn't easily believe her.
After all, such a thing would seem too far-fetched for people living in this apocalyptic world.
But she still had the task of bringing fifty guests back, so she was about to explain further when she heard a man say: "Wait, I think I've heard of this Peace Hotel."
Hearing this, not only the others but even Gu Wanyin was surprised.
After all, in this apocalyptic world, people outside the hotel didn't have phones or computers to go online. How did people in L City know about the Peace Hotel in City A?
"How do you know?" a woman asked him.
"Just a few days ago, I met a man who said he came from City A. He mentioned there was a miraculous hotel there, and we could try to see if we could go stay there... but I didn't believe it at the time," the man scratched his head. "I thought it was too far-fetched."
But now, this girl was saying the same thing?
And she had even flown here alone in a plane!
He suddenly felt it might be somewhat credible.
"Do you know what that man's name was?" Gu Wanyin asked.
"I don't know his full name, just that his surname was Fu."
Hearing the surname Fu, Gu Wanyin understood everything.
It was Fu Siheng, who had left the hotel earlier.
So he had made it to L City a few days ago.
It must have been quite challenging for him to safely travel from City A to L City.
And he hadn't forgotten to advertise for the hotel.
Although he was a man who liked to avoid things... Gu Wanyin silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart.
"Ah, Mr. Fu. He once stayed at my hotel," Gu Wanyin said.
"If your hotel is so good, why did he leave?" someone questioned.
"It was due to some personal matters," Gu Wanyin said calmly. "I'd rather not discuss it."
After all, she couldn't casually share Fu Siheng's business with others.
"How about this - come with me to see my plane," Gu Wanyin suggested. "You can view an introduction to the hotel on the plane."
"But aren't there many zombies over there?" a woman shrank back. "What if we encounter zombies on the way?"
"The zombies have all fled," Gu Wanyin smiled. "As long as my plane is there, zombies won't approach that area."
Hearing this, although still half-skeptical, they were all willing to try and go see.
After all, flying a plane in this apocalyptic world was too extraordinary, especially for a girl who seemed incapable of harming a fly.
If what she said about the hotel was true, they'd be fighting to get in!
They'd had enough of life in L City!
Gu Wanyin led them to where the plane was.
Seeing a real, proper plane, they all marveled.
It wasn't that they'd never seen or ridden in a plane before, but this was the apocalypse...
Still, they were nervous, constantly looking around, afraid that zombies might suddenly appear from somewhere.
"Look here, everyone," Gu Wanyin pointed to a spot on the plane's body.
They looked and saw that a rather large screen had appeared there.
Just then, the screen began playing an advertisement.
It was about the Peace Hotel.
After the system had played a silly advertisement for Ling Quan last time, Gu Wanyin had offered some suggestions.
After the system modified it according to her advice, while not exactly sophisticated, the advertisement was at least normal.
The group watched in amazement as various shops appeared on the screen.
"Hot pot, barbecue..." a man wiped his mouth.
"And clothes, cosmetics..." a woman longingly gazed at the screen.
"How is this possible? Where would you get these supplies at a time like this?"
"But think about it, she flew that plane here herself..."
"That's true."
"But what if she's a con artist?"
"What benefit would she get from flying a plane here just to trick us?"
"Who knows..."
They fell into a state of confusion.
After a while, a few more people arrived, and Gu Wanyin played the advertisement for them as well.
After watching, one man's eyes darted around. When no one was paying attention, he suddenly rushed towards the plane.
He knew how to fly!
Regardless of whether the hotel was real or not, he wanted to claim this plane for himself first!
"Sir, I must warn you, this is my plane," Gu Wanyin suddenly spoke up. "Without my permission, you cannot board it, or there will be severe consequences."
The man hesitated for a moment, then sneered and continued towards the plane.
Even if he couldn't steal the plane, he wanted to see if there were any supplies on board. It had been so long since he'd had a full meal!
However, just as his foot was about to step into the plane, he suddenly felt an enormous force push him back, sending him flying more than ten meters away!
