Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 191

Joshua felt desperate again. She held Bruno's hand and said, "In that case, I'll go out and look again. Maybe, just maybe, I can find something?"

"I'll go with you," Janet said firmly. "That way, you won't have to fight this battle alone."

Seeing this, Tom let out a sigh.

He said to his team members, "I'm sorry, but I still can't just stand by and watch someone die. How about this - I'll give just a small portion of the hemostatic medicine to Bruno, and keep the rest for ourselves. Would that be okay?"

When it was just a small portion, the other team members couldn't really object.

But would just this small amount of hemostatic medicine be enough to save Bruno?

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps arose.

Tom's team turned around to see about seven or eight hotel guests approaching.

Among them was Eugene, one of Duke Bobby's subordinates.

"We heard about what happened," Eugene said. "We all have hemostatic medicine."

It was normal that seven or eight guests had hemostatic medicine, given how many guests were now staying at the hotel.

However, none of them had much of it.

"We just discussed it, and while no one would be willing to give all their medicine to the injured boy, we thought we could each contribute a small portion," Eugene said. "This way, we won't lose too much ourselves, but we can give the boy a better chance at survival."

Hearing this, Tom smiled.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea," Tom said. "I'll contribute a bit too."

"Though I'm a bit reluctant to part with it, saving a life is a good deed."

"But I can only spare a little, as I need to keep some for myself."

"A little is enough - if everyone contributes a bit, it should add up to quite a bit."

"Let's hope the boy survives! Don't let our goodwill go to waste."

"Here, everyone pour some medicine into this bottle, and I'll take it to the boy."

Their hemostatic medicine was in powder form.

Eugene took out a small bottle.

Everyone who had hemostatic medicine poured a small portion into the bottle.

When collected together, it actually amounted to quite a bit of medicine for Bruno.

Gu Wanyin was standing nearby, watching this scene unfold.

To be honest, she felt quite moved.

In this world, although there were bad people like Bobby and Daine, most people were still quite united.

At this rate, humans would eventually defeat the vampires and reclaim their homeland.

Eugene took the bottle inside and handed it to the doctor, saying, "This is the medicine we collected. Please use it quickly on the boy."

The doctor hurriedly took it and began applying it to Bruno.

Janet had already bought bandages from the general store.

"Thank you!" Joshua said gratefully. "If I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely return the medicine to you..."

"No need to thank me," Eugene quickly waved his hand. "This medicine isn't just from me - everyone contributed."

He pointed to the doorway.

Joshua hurriedly walked out.

Then, she bowed deeply to the people at the door.

She had already committed all of these people to memory.

If she had the chance in the future, she would definitely find a way to repay their kindness.

The doctor applied the medicine to Bruno and bandaged him up.

"Doctor, how is he?" Janet asked. "Bruno's life isn't in danger anymore, right?"

"I can't say for sure," the doctor frowned. "He's lost far too much blood. I can't guarantee he'll survive."

Joshua had just returned to the infirmary when she heard the doctor's words.

Her body went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Gu Wanyin was nearby and reached out to steady her.

"Madam Gu..." Joshua looked at her with a dazed expression. "Is my brother going to die?"

"I don't know," Gu Wanyin said. "What I do know is that you need to stay calm right now. You're your brother's only family - if you panic, things will become truly difficult."

Joshua suddenly snapped out of it.

"Yes, I must stay calm..." Joshua muttered. "Madam Gu, thank you."

After saying this, Joshua returned to the bedside to watch over Bruno.

Unlike her previous panic, her eyes were now filled with determination.

The doctor wiped his sweat nearby and said, "The bleeding has stopped now, but his condition is still not good. You... should prepare yourself mentally."

"Thank you, doctor," Joshua's voice trembled slightly. "In the future, I will repay you."

"That's not necessary, ah..." The doctor shook his head and sighed.

Janet stayed by Joshua's side the whole time.

At this moment, Gu Wanyin saw the Little Squirrel System run over and jump onto her shoulder.

"Host, I'm back."

"How did it go?"

"They agreed, but you need to complete a task first to unlock it."

"What task? I'll try to complete it as quickly as possible," Gu Wanyin said.

Although the collected medicine had temporarily saved Bruno's life, his condition was still dangerous if he didn't get a blood transfusion soon.

Gu Wanyin was used to doing tasks anyway.

This time, she could help Bruno while she was at it.

Plus, there would definitely be rewards after completing the task, which would benefit the hotel.

"Ding! New task unlocked: Bring five more new guests to the hotel and check them in. Task rewards: Unlock automatic blood drawing and transfusion medical equipment; Unlock hemostatic medicine."

This task wasn't difficult.

Correspondingly, the rewards were just medical equipment and hemostatic medicine.

But the hotel needed these things right now.

"Then I'll go out and see if I can bring back five more guests."

Gu Wanyin immediately turned and left.

She went to the courtyard and got on the carriage.

The giant mushroom that the ditzy Elf King had given her earlier - she hadn't eaten it but had placed it in the courtyard as decoration.

Although the giant mushroom seemed out of place in this castle...

After looking at it for a while, it had its own unique charm.

Gu Wanyin drove the carriage away from the castle.

Because she didn't know how much longer Bruno could hold on, she set the carriage's speed a bit faster.

Before long, she passed by a field.

There were two rows of trees on either side of the field.

It was the season when the trees were thick with leaves.

Gu Wanyin happened to glance that way and noticed what seemed to be several human figures behind the trees.

"System, are there people behind those trees?"

"Yes, host."

Gu Wanyin immediately turned the carriage toward the trees.

Just as she was about to speak, suddenly, several stones were hurled at her.

But they certainly couldn't hurt her.

The stones disappeared before they even reached her.

Then, she heard several shocked gasps from behind the trees.
