Chapter 27: Deal harshly with their own people
Chapter 27
"Everyone, please calm down," Gu Wanyin said with a smile. "They can't enter the hotel. Our establishment guarantees the safety of all guests."
The crowd realized she was right.
If the hotel could withstand zombies and natural disasters, why worry about attacking enemies?
"Boss, so we're just going to ignore them? Can they really not get in?" Xu Shi asked.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Gu Wanyin was curious to see who would be so bold and ambitious as to set their sights on her hotel.
Besides, she still needed to win over three enemies.
As Gu Wanyin walked out of the hotel, Ye Gaofei was also getting out of his car.
He wore sunglasses and a hat, wiping sweat from his forehead in the heat.
He stood in stark contrast to Gu Wanyin, who wore a clean dress and maintained a calm demeanor.
The system's protection of Gu Wanyin was comprehensive.
Outside the hotel, she not only had no fear of zombies or attacks from others, but she was also immune to extreme cold or heat. Her body could only feel a comfortable, constant temperature.
When Ye Gaofei saw her, his eyes widened.
Is this the girl who runs this hotel?
He was surprised to find that not only was the hotel real, but its owner was also a beauty!
Ye Gaofei's lustful thoughts immediately surfaced.
He looked at Gu Wanyin and asked with a lecherous smile, "Little sister, is this your hotel?"
"Don't try to claim false kinship," Gu Wanyin replied with a cold smile. "But yes, this hotel is indeed mine. Who are you? What brings you here with such a big show of force?"
Ye Gaofei's smile grew even more obscene as he said, "I heard there was a magical hotel here with plenty of supplies. Listen to me, little sister, a place like this is too deep for you to handle. Let big brother take care of it."
Gu Wanyin laughed at his foolishness.
"This is my hotel, and I won't hand it over to anyone," Gu Wanyin said. "Let me give you some advice: turn back now while you still can. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Hearing this, Ye Gaofei became irritated.
"I should be the one saying that! Hand over this hotel to me obediently, or I'll be the one who gets impolite!"
As he spoke, Ye Gaofei tried to conjure a fireball in his hand.
He was a level seven fire ability user with extremely strong attack power!
But suddenly, he realized there was nothing in his hand!
Where was his fireball? Where were his abilities?
Ye Gaofei tried again, but still, no fireball appeared, not even a tiny spark!
What, what was going on?
Had his abilities disappeared?
Why would this happen?
It was impossible; he had never heard of abilities just vanishing!
Despite the scorching weather, he felt a chill run through his body.
To make matters worse, Gu Wanyin was looking at him with a mocking smile!
Ye Gaofei felt humiliated, a sense of shame washing over him!
Angrily, he turned to one of his subordinates behind him.
"Mr. Ye?" The subordinate, unaware of what had transpired, looked at him with confusion.
Ye Gaofei wanted to test his abilities again and violently threw a fireball at the man!
In his haste, he used full power!
The subordinate, completely unprepared, was struck by the fireball and sent flying several meters. His body immediately burst into flames!
Accompanied by his screams, he quickly burned to ashes!
The other subordinates were stunned, their faces pale as they looked at Ye Gaofei. "Mr. Ye? What are you doing?"
Gu Wanyin also frowned.
This man could be so cruel to his own people?
She was becoming increasingly displeased!
Meanwhile, Ye Gaofei had breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed his abilities were still there, they hadn't disappeared!
But just now...
Ye Gaofei, still not convinced, turned back to Gu Wanyin and tried to conjure a fireball again.
But this time, his abilities vanished once more!
Finally, he understood.
It appeared he couldn't use his powers against Gu Wanyin or this hotel.
"What's wrong? You don't look well," Gu Wanyin said mockingly. "I warned you earlier to turn back, but you didn't listen. Don't blame me for being ruthless now."
She then turned to Ye Gaofei's subordinates and said, "You all saw what he just did to that man, didn't you? This kind of person is cruel and merciless, even to his own people. Are you sure you still want to follow him? Don't you fear that what happened to that man today could be your fate tomorrow?"
At Gu Wanyin's words, the faces of Ye Gaofei's subordinates changed simultaneously.
They had known from the beginning that Ye Gaofei wasn't a good person.
But in this apocalyptic world, even as high-level ability users, they needed to align themselves with someone powerful to have a better life. That's why they had been following Ye Gaofei.
However, they never imagined that Ye Gaofei would be so ruthless to his own people!
The man who had just been burned alive had always been loyal to Ye Gaofei!
Gu Wanyin continued in a very tempting tone, "As for my hotel, it's absolutely safe and can withstand any zombie, natural disaster, or attack from others. You can see this with Ye Gaofei: he can't use his abilities against me or my hotel! So now, if you want to stay at my hotel, I can still give you a chance. As long as you have enough points and don't violate the hotel rules, you can stay here indefinitely."
Ye Gaofei's face grew even darker.
Damn it, this little minx was trying to turn his subordinates against him!
"Don't listen to her!" Ye Gaofei roared. "All of you, attack! Bring out the tanks and armored vehicles too! Whoever kills her, I'll promote them to deputy commander of the base! You can enjoy whatever you want!"
Admittedly, Ye Gaofei's words were also quite tempting.
After all, these people hadn't seen what the inside of the hotel was like.
But they had seen, and always envied, what Ye Gaofei enjoyed in the Haikang Base.
"I only have three spots available," Gu Wanyin said calmly. "If you're late, you'll miss your chance."
She didn't want to recruit too many people here.
Since the system's task was to win over three people, she would only recruit three guests here.
As soon as she finished speaking, one person quickly ran towards her and stood behind her.
This person's fingers were tightly clenched, seeming to take a gamble.
With one person taking the lead, two more followed suit and ran over.
Of course, others wanted to come too, but Gu Wanyin had said she would only take three, so they missed their chance.
However, they didn't regret it too much, thinking that if they could conquer this hotel with Ye Gaofei, they could still live there in the future.
"You!" Ye Gaofei looked at them angrily. "How dare you betray me!"
"Sorry, Mr. Ye!" One of them said with a hoarse voice. "Your actions just now really disheartened us!"
"Haha, you'll regret this! The rest of you, what are you standing around for? Start attacking!" Ye Gaofei roared.
Hearing this, the others began to use their abilities! Those operating the tanks and armored vehicles also started to move!
But to their horror, they found that neither their abilities nor the tanks and armored vehicles worked!
They seemed to have become ordinary people, and the tanks and armored vehicles appeared to have turned into models!
So what the girl had said earlier was true!
Everyone started to regret not running over sooner!
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.
Gu Wanyin gave a cold laugh and said to the system in her heart, "System, you can release the dinosaurs now!"
