Chapter 22: This Wonderful Place, He Wants to Keep to Himself
Chapter 22
"Who is it?" Ye Gaofei was annoyed at being interrupted during his moment of pleasure.
He was just about to enjoy himself!
"It's a man and a woman. The man is a level four water ability user, and the woman has no abilities, but she says she has important information for you."
"Tell them to get lost!" Ye Gaofei said impatiently. "Why would I care about some lousy information?"
"Yes, sir."
Just as Ye Gaofei was about to enjoy his bowl of noodles, his subordinate's voice sounded again from outside: "Mr. Ye..."
"What now?!" Ye Gaofei roared, "Can't you leave me alone? Get out!"
"Mr. Ye, your subordinate really has something important to report. The woman says she knows of a place with endless supplies."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ye Gaofei's interest was immediately piqued.
Although he was living quite well now, endless supplies were still incredibly tempting! Even if it wasn't the apocalypse, wouldn't that be attractive?
He coughed twice, then said: "Bring them in."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, the subordinate brought in a man and a woman.
The two weren't dressed very warmly, wrapped in cardboard boxes and old newspapers, shivering from the cold.
Upon entering the warm room with air conditioning, they felt a bit better. The woman's legs nearly gave out and she almost fainted, but the man beside her caught her in time.
"Who are you two?" Ye Gaofei put on an imposing air.
"I was already living in this base. I have level four water abilities," the man quickly said. "A few days ago, I ran out of crystal cores, so I went out to kill zombies. That's when I happened to see her being chased by zombies, so I saved her and brought her back here. She said she had very important information and asked me to bring her to see you."
They were almost back to Haikang Base when the temperature suddenly dropped.
Fortunately, they ran fast and made it back when it was only about -20 to -30 degrees Celsius outside.
If the temperature had dropped any further, they would have certainly frozen to death.
Ye Gaofei nodded, then looked at the woman: "Your information is about that place with supplies?"
"That's right!" the woman said. "It's a hotel, run by a young girl. There are many rooms inside, and there's bread, instant noodles, milk, drinks! Oh, and there's a cafeteria where you can eat all kinds of dishes! The supplies there are endless, you can never run out! The rooms even have taps that produce clean water!"
Even though Ye Gaofei had seen his fair share of things, he was stunned by what the woman was saying.
Could such a place really exist?
Even Haikang Base didn't have that many supplies!
He held a glass of red wine, looking carefree, but in reality, he only allowed himself one glass a day.
As for bread and instant noodles, he could eat them, but he didn't dare to indulge too much!
Even eating a bowl of noodles was a luxury for him!
Various dishes were even more out of the question!
He had people cultivate fields in the base to grow some vegetables, but in this apocalyptic world, not only was the yield low, but the quality was also very poor.
There was an even larger base called Muruo Base in City C, which had better conditions, but it probably couldn't meet those standards either!
Just the phrase "endless supplies" was enough to make anyone envious!
"Are you sure? You're not lying to me, are you?" Ye Gaofei said suspiciously. "How could such a place exist? And it's run by a young girl?"
How could a young girl run such a place in the apocalypse? Wouldn't she have been devoured, bones and all, long ago?
"Everything I'm saying is true!" The woman's legs gave out and she fell to her knees. "That hotel is in Starry River Square in City A! I'm from City A, so I know that place! There used to be a large shopping mall in Starry River Square, but somehow it turned into a hotel!"
"Then, if such a place exists, why didn't you stay there? Why did you come to us instead?" Ye Gaofei asked again.
The woman gritted her teeth and said: "Just because I made a small mistake, she kicked me out! And what's more, she teleported me directly from the hotel to City B!"
"Teleported?" Ye Gaofei sneered. "Now that's too far-fetched!"
"Mr. Ye! Before the apocalypse, could you have imagined that one day the world would end? Could you have imagined that one day zombies would appear? Doesn't everything now seem far-fetched compared to how things were before?"
Ye Gaofei had to admit the woman had a point!
Two years ago, who could have imagined the world would be like this now?
With the apocalypse here, zombies and ability users appearing, what else could be too far-fetched to accept?
"Alright, I understand," Ye Gaofei said. "You can go now."
The man who came with the woman quickly said: "Mr. Ye, considering we've brought you such important information..."
"You want a reward, right?" Ye Gaofei smiled ambiguously. "Don't worry, you won't be forgotten!"
The man and woman left with joyful expressions.
Ye Gaofei waved his hand, calling a subordinate to his side.
After the subordinate approached, he whispered something. The subordinate seemed hesitant: "Mr. Ye, is this really okay...?"
"What's not okay about it? Such a good place, of course I want it all to myself! If we keep them around, what if they tell the leaders of other bases and others come to compete with me? Do as I say!"
"Yes, sir."
The woman who brought this information was none other than Lin Ru.
Previously, she had violated hotel rules and was removed from the hotel, teleported to City B.
When she opened her eyes, she was faced with several zombies.
She was so frightened she almost fainted, but fortunately, she encountered the man who had come to kill zombies.
She desperately begged for help, and the man killed the zombies. It was lucky that the zombies were all level one, while the man was a level four ability user.
That's how she managed to keep her life.
Because she was somewhat attractive and knew how to flatter and cajole, she managed to persuade the man to keep her by his side and return to Haikang Base.
She learned from the man that the leader of Haikang Base was a very powerful ability user, so she planned to use Ye Gaofei to get revenge on Gu Wanyin and her hotel.
Now, seeing that Ye Gaofei believed her words, Lin Ru felt very satisfied.
She knew Gu Wanyin was powerful, but wasn't Ye Gaofei a level seven ability user? And there were many high-level ability users in this base! They would surely be able to kill Gu Wanyin!
Moreover, she could also get a reward from Ye Gaofei.
However, just as she and the man thought they were going to be taken to a nice place to rest, suddenly, several high-level ability users surrounded them!
