Chapter 13: Two Beams Descending from the Sky
Chapter 13
Even the two burly men were stunned, let alone Gu Wanyin.
She looked closely and saw that standing in front of her was a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a crew cut, very thin, but with a perfectly straight back.
"Xu Shi, it's you again? Didn't you get enough of a beating last time? Get lost!"
Xu Shi's lips were tightly pressed together. His body was shaking slightly, but he gritted his teeth and refused to move away from in front of Gu Wanyin.
One of the burly men slapped him down with a single blow.
Just as the man was about to burst into laughter, suddenly a figure rushed over and punched him square in the face!
Pain shot through him as his face was knocked to the side.
For a moment, he was dazed.
Damn it, someone actually dared to hit him!
Even the few ability users maintaining order in the Sunshine Base didn't dare to interfere with his business!
The other burly man also looked at Gu Wanyin in shock.
Because the one who had just struck was this seemingly fragile little girl!
Gu Wanyin sneered, shaking out her fist.
This body of hers actually had great strength, giving her a sense of being a strong woman.
It was precisely because of this that the original owner had been able to survive in the apocalypse with Coke and hamburgers for over a year.
Although she had been malnourished before, she had recently managed to regain some nutrition.
And that punch just now, she had used her full strength!
These two men had picked a fight with her first, so according to the system's rules, she was allowed to fight back!
"You fucking bitch, you're asking for it. Today, I'm going to rape you and then kill you!"
The man who had been hit was furious with humiliation and swung his fist at Gu Wanyin!
Among the onlookers, some couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes—
But after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear the expected screams of the girl. Instead, those who hadn't closed their eyes made sounds of astonishment.
They opened their eyes in surprise to see the burly man frozen in his punching stance, standing there stiffly!
And the girl was still standing unharmed in her original spot, with a mocking smile on her face!
As if she was ridiculing the man's incompetence!
"What are you doing?" the other burly man frowned and asked, "Hit her!"
"I can't move! I can't bring my fist down!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The other burly man didn't believe it, but just as he was about to lay hands on Gu Wanyin, he found that he couldn't move either!
"They, why aren't they moving?" someone asked in surprise.
"I just heard him say he couldn't move! What's going on?"
"Ability user! That girl is an ability user!"
"No way, she doesn't look like one? Besides, that man is already a level three ability user, for this girl to control him to this extent, how powerful must her ability be?"
"Do you think a girl could survive in the apocalypse if she were ordinary?"
"But..."
Gu Wanyin ignored the surprised and frightened discussions around her. She just looked at the two burly men and said coldly, "Go to hell."
As soon as she finished speaking, two beams of light descended from the sky, shooting directly at the two burly men!
They seemed to have been violently struck, instantly spitting blood and collapsing to the ground, their fate unknown!
The surrounding people were all frightened and backed away!
However, many people looked at Gu Wanyin with admiration!
After all, these two burly men often bullied people in the base, and they had long been disgusted by them. And now, this girl in front of them was actually so powerful!
Gu Wanyin looked at the two men lying on the ground and sneered.
Now, even if they didn't die, they would be crippled.
And in this apocalyptic world, without their strong bodies, and having offended many people before, their future days wouldn't be easy!
She turned her head to look at Xu Shi who had just protected her.
At this moment, Xu Shi was also staring at her with wide eyes, surprised and admiring.
He had naturally seen the fate of those two burly men just now, and felt it was so satisfying!
He had tried to stop those two when they bullied people before, but with his small arms and legs, how could he fight them? He had been beaten badly.
But just now when he saw a sister about to be bullied by the two of them again, he still couldn't help but want to stand up!
He thought, at worst it would just mean death, anyway there wasn't much hope for survival in this apocalypse!
But he never expected this sister to be so powerful!
How on earth did she produce those two beams of light descending from the sky?
"Are you alright?" Gu Wanyin asked him.
Hearing her voice, Xu Shi came back to his senses and shook his head saying, "I'm fine."
Gu Wanyin actually wanted to tell him that if he couldn't guarantee his own safety, he shouldn't take risks.
After all, it was the apocalypse now.
But thinking about it, there would probably be people like Xu Shi in any era, wouldn't there? They wouldn't ask others to do anything for them, nor would they be generous at others' expense, they just wanted to do their part.
Since she had encountered Xu Shi today, she might as well ask if he was willing to be a waiter.
If Xu Shi was willing, she would tell him what to do. If Xu Shi agreed but then violated the hotel rules, the system would directly expel him.
But she had a feeling that she wouldn't choose wrong.
So she just said, "Your name is Xu Shi, right? Do you live here alone?"
Xu Shi nodded, his eyes a little desolate: "The rest of my family... didn't make it, I'm the only one left."
"Then would you like to come with me? My hotel is currently hiring waiters, would you like to join?"
Xu Shi blinked twice, asking uncertainly, "Ho-hotel? Is it the kind of hotel I'm thinking of?"
"Yes," Gu Wanyin said with a smile, "At my place, you won't be bothered by zombies, you don't have to worry about natural disasters, and there are supplies, but you must follow the rules. Do you want to give it a try?"
Xu Shi couldn't believe there would still be such a place now.
But he had just witnessed how powerful Gu Wanyin was!
Could those two beams of light be explained by common sense?
So, what this beautiful sister said... was very likely to be true!
Anyway, if he continued like this, he didn't know how much longer he could survive.
Might as well take a gamble!
Xu Shi bit his lip, then nodded firmly and said, "I'm willing! Sister, I'll go with you!"
"Good, then get up quickly and follow me."
Xu Shi hurriedly got up from the ground.
Gu Wanyin saw that there were still many people nearby looking in her direction, whispering among themselves.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Everyone, I've opened a hotel in the north. There, supplies are plentiful, prices are cheap, and you won't be bothered by zombies. If you leave from Sunshine Base and head north, you should be able to see it after about half a day's walk. My hotel is called 'Peace Hotel', and everyone is welcome. Of course, there aren't many vacant rooms now, but there should be quite a few in a few days."
As soon as she finished speaking, it caused an uproar.
"A hotel? At a time like this, someone can still open a hotel?"
"She must be lying! Where would a young girl like her get abundant supplies?"
"But didn't you see how powerful she was just now?"
"So what? She even said they wouldn't be bothered by zombies, is that possible? Even if she's powerful, what if a hundred zombies come? A thousand zombies? Can she fight them all by herself?"
"Well..."
"Could it be that she saw that Xu Shi kid is good-looking, so she made up a lie to lure him to go with her?"
"I don't think it's credible either."
"I think it's worth a try..."
Having said what she needed to say, Gu Wanyin saw no need to linger.
Anyway, there would always be some people who would believe and be willing to try the hotel. By then, the hotel's reputation would gradually spread, and those who didn't believe her would know that everything she said was true.
It was just right that the hotel didn't have many vacant rooms now.
After a while, when there were more vacant rooms, she would advertise more.
So, Gu Wanyin led Xu Shi away with style.
