Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 94: The Surge in Zombie Numbers

Chapter 94

"Thank you so much!"

After her husband was severely injured in an attack, Li Xiaosi was so upset that she couldn't sleep all night.

She was very worried. Would they be safe if they went out again in the future?

Admittedly, in the apocalyptic world, zombies and natural disasters were unpredictable. If they died at the hands of zombies or in a disaster, they would accept it.

But what did it mean to die at the hands of their own kind just because they stayed in a hotel? How could they dare to go out and find things to exchange for points in the future? They would have to guard against not only zombies but also humans eyeing their room...

Moreover, they now had a child. How were they supposed to live with a child in the future?

However, she never expected that Gu Wanyin would punish those three men and even give her their crystals as compensation.

This really made her feel secure.

And these crystals were enough for them to catch their breath.

Like Li Xiaosi, the hotel guests all breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Gu Wanyin had disabled the three men and blacklisted them.

Gu Wanyin's action had a deterrent effect; people outside would certainly not dare to misbehave anymore.

They could be more at ease when going out to kill zombies in the future.

However, they soon received news that alarmed them.

A large number of zombies suddenly appeared in City A.

Although more zombies meant more crystals, zombies were not easy to kill.

In the hotel, there were four men staying in family rooms who were brothers. Although their abilities were not high, they were all strong and sturdy.

Before the apocalypse, their parents in their rural hometown had frozen to death in the extreme cold that came suddenly.

Fortunately, the four of them had gathered together in time and had been sticking together throughout the apocalypse without any internal strife, so they had survived until now.

But one day, when all four of them went out to kill zombies together, they were surrounded by more than a dozen zombies.

In the end, only one of the four brothers barely escaped back.

And according to him, apart from those dozen or so zombies, he vaguely saw many more swaying figures in the distance.

Although City A never had a small number of zombies to begin with, now it seemed the number had clearly increased.

A few days later, several more guests who went out to kill zombies didn't return, including one with level five ability.

This time, the hotel guests were truly panicked.

Even the number of guests waiting for vacant rooms at the hotel entrance hadn't increased much.

Logically, with the hotel's current reputation, there should have been a constant stream of guests waiting for vacant rooms.

But because of the recent surge in the number of zombies in City A, they simply couldn't get through those ferocious zombies to reach the hotel entrance.

Regarding the zombie situation, Gu Wanyin was also helpless.

After all, in this world, zombies killing people was part of the normal development of the world. She couldn't intervene, nor could she go out to kill zombies herself.

But she could feel that recently, whether in the hotel or outside in the Peace Supermarket and small restaurants, the income had decreased somewhat.

The zombie-killing simulation training camp was full every day, with long queues forming outside.

"System, if this continues, will you lose your first place?" Gu Wanyin said with a worried frown. "I'm thinking, wouldn't it be good if I could contact bases in other places? Could we sell supplies to them remotely? This way, not only could people in other bases get a chance to breathe, but we could also earn more points."

At the beginning, systems in other worlds indeed had difficulty earning points, while her side was operating normally, so she took first place.

But now, all the systems were gradually developing.

She was earning more and more points, but so were others.

Especially the 066 system in the horror world, Gu Wanyin always felt it was catching up rapidly.

If 066 really took first place, her system would be furious, no, it would crash from anger.

"Host, how did you know that the first task on the newly refreshed task list is exactly this?" the system asked.

Gu Wanyin was stunned: "Huh? I didn't know! I just had this idea, I thought it wouldn't work!"

"Ding! New task unlocked: Achieve cooperation with a certain base and gain income by selling supplies. Task reward: Unlock all rooms on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of Building 3; upgrade all rooms on the ninth and tenth floors of Building 2 once; upgrade all rooms in Building 1 once again; unlock all rooms on the sixth and seventh floors of the Special Building; unlock the farmers' market and unlimited quantities of all products in the farmers' market; unlock the dry cleaning shop and related facilities; unlock the mother and baby products store and unlimited quantities of all products in the mother and baby products store."

"Something to do again!" Gu Wanyin stretched lazily, full of enthusiasm. "Can I choose which base to cooperate with myself? Can I only choose nearby ones, or can it be any distance?"

"It can be any distance, the host can choose freely."

As soon as the system finished speaking, a comprehensive map appeared in front of Gu Wanyin.

The locations of various bases were clearly marked on it. When Gu Wanyin clicked on a certain base, a detailed introduction about that base would appear beside it.

"Let me see... I remember when I was reading the book, the largest base described was the Muruo Base." Gu Wanyin said, "But the world is so big, there must be bases larger than Muruo Base, right?"

Now most people from Muruo Base had come to the hotel, and those who hadn't moved in had also come to City A. If they cooperated with Muruo Base, they definitely wouldn't be able to earn too many points.

Gu Wanyin simply clicked on each base one by one, carefully reading the introductions beside them.

She wanted to choose a domestic base first and not consider foreign ones for now.

Since she was choosing, she might as well choose a super large one with lots of people! This way, they could earn more points!

Finally, Gu Wanyin chose a place called Survival Base.

The name of this base was quite simple and straightforward, just like her.

There were two reasons for choosing this base. One was that it was large and populous; according to the information, there were over twenty thousand survivors inside.

The second reason was that within the country, this base was the farthest from City A.

Even before the apocalypse, flying from the city where that base was located to City A required a stopover and took seven to eight hours in total.

But now there were no planes, and ordinary people couldn't get cars or anything, so they could only rely on walking.

To get from Survival Base to Peace Hotel, who knows how long it would take...

So, the people there definitely couldn't reach City A for quite some time. Not only could they not stay at the hotel, but they also couldn't buy supplies from Peace Supermarket and the restaurants.

That being the case, they might as well cooperate with Survival Base this time and sell supplies to them.

"System, how do I contact the people at Survival Base?"
