Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 43

The woman clearly looked somewhat nervous, as if she was hiding something in her heart. The smile she had just given was forced and strained.

However, it was also possible that after living through the apocalypse for so long, she had just arrived at a safe place and hadn't yet adjusted.

At that moment, another guest came to the cafeteria for a meal. Seeing her, he greeted her, "Hello, Boss Gu."

Gu Wanyin smiled and nodded, then noticed that the woman's expression became even more peculiar.

The woman glanced at her cautiously, then hurriedly walked into the cafeteria.

Gu Wanyin grew increasingly suspicious that this woman wasn't as simple as she appeared.

She walked to the front desk and asked Xu Shi, "When did that new female guest arrive? What's her name?"

"She should have arrived last night. Fang Yang received her. Let me check."

There was a screen at the front desk displaying a table with guest information for each room.

Xu Shi scrolled to the bottom and told Gu Wanyin, "She arrived in the middle of the night yesterday. Her name is Ning Jie."

Gu Wanyin: "..."

Damn it, another person from Muruo Base!

An Cairou probably thought Ning Jie was just an ordinary person no one would recognize, so she sent her here.

The key was, Gu Wanyin was a transmigrator who had read the book!

In the book, An Cairou's maid was named Ning Jie!

Given the previous incident with Gu Mingyu, and considering the woman's strange behavior just now, Gu Wanyin felt it was unlikely to be a coincidence. This Ning Jie must be An Cairou's maid.

Gu Wanyin was truly exasperated. When would An Cairou ever stop?

Actually, when she was reading the book, she had felt a bit uneasy.

The male and female protagonists in the book had rather complex personalities.

However, since the book was written from their perspective, everything they did seemed reasonable.

But now that An Cairou kept targeting her repeatedly, she couldn't tolerate it anymore.

She had never provoked Muruo Base, and had never even promoted her hotel there!

Gu Wanyin tried to recall the description of Ning Jie's character in the book.

After all, she was just a maid of the female lead, so there wouldn't be too much written about her in the book.

It mentioned that she was an ordinary person without any special abilities, and that she had a younger sister. They were able to enter Muruo Base because An Cairou needed a maid.

The book also described how the sisters had always relied on each other and had a very close relationship.

Moreover, both of them were portrayed as kind and innocent people.

Gu Wanyin guessed that Ning Jie was probably forced to come here by An Cairou, who was using her sister as leverage.

But that wasn't her concern. She didn't want people from Muruo Base to continue staying here. Although she and her hotel were invincible, she didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble.

However... if she sent Ning Jie away, An Cairou would surely send someone else.

If she sent someone Gu Wanyin didn't recognize, that would be even more troublesome.

And if she sent another man like Gu Mingyu, it would be even worse.

At least now she knew Ning Jie was from Muruo Base, and everything was under her control.

Besides, An Cairou was increasingly infuriating her.

She couldn't stand it anymore and decided she must find an opportunity to teach this so-called female protagonist a lesson.

When that time came, Ning Jie could be useful to her.

Hadn't she already turned Ye Gaofei's subordinates against him before?

Gu Wanyin's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Boss, is there something wrong with this Ning Jie?" Xu Shi asked.

"Hmm, tell Fang Yang to keep an eye on her, both of you," Gu Wanyin said. "It doesn't matter inside the hotel, but don't let her get too close to other guests. Especially if anyone wants to leave the hotel with her, give them a gentle reminder."

Inside the hotel, no one would be in danger, but if Ning Jie took other guests outside the hotel to do something, the hotel wouldn't be able to protect them.

Although Ning Jie's personality wouldn't normally do such things, her sister was still in An Cairou's hands. Who knew what she might do for her sister's sake...

"Understood!" Xu Shi quickly replied, "I got it."

Just then, Cola and Hamburger walked over hand in hand. Gu Wanyin carefully instructed them once again, emphasizing that they must never leave the hotel.

Inside the hotel, they were invincible, but once outside, Cola and Hamburger wouldn't have the system's protection mechanism.

After all, they were just additional rewards from the system...

"Sister, I know this already," Cola promised, patting her little chest. "I'll definitely take good care of little sister Hamburger. We absolutely won't leave the hotel, not even one step."

"It's so scary outside," Hamburger shuddered, "I don't want to go out at all."

She still remembered those horrifying zombies outside! Only a fool would leave the hotel.

"That's good, be good," Gu Wanyin smiled, patting their heads.

Actually, it didn't matter much. After all, they were still in the hotel. If anyone tried to take Cola and Hamburger out of the hotel without Gu Wanyin knowing, the system wouldn't allow it.

This way, she didn't need to worry about Ning Jie for now.

Once the Mid-Autumn Festival party was over, she would definitely teach An Cairou a lesson.

Otherwise, An Cairou would never stop.

...

Ning Jie ate in the cafeteria and then wandered around the hotel.

She had to admit, the atmosphere in the hotel was really nice. Almost everyone seemed to be in a good mood, always chatting and laughing when they gathered together.

It made sense: in this apocalyptic world, how could they not be happy staying in such a nice hotel?

Ning Jie really envied them, being able to live here so happily.

While she was burdened with such a difficult task, one she didn't even want to do...

At that moment, she saw the receptionist who had checked her in last night walking towards her.

Fang Yang had just woken up, eaten something, and was feeling bored when Gu Wanyin gave him a task.

He approached Ning Jie with a warm smile and asked, "Are you getting used to the hotel?"

"It's very nice," Ning Jie nodded, "This place is really amazing, with so many resources and it's so clean."

"There are even more mysterious places," Fang Yang said mysteriously, "You haven't been to Jurassic Park yet, have you?"

"No, I haven't," Ning Jie said, "Jurassic Park... are there really dinosaurs?"

She had heard about dinosaurs appearing in the hotel from An Cairou.

But An Cairou had said they were probably mutated creatures that looked like dinosaurs, or just hallucinations.

"Of course! Why else would it be called Jurassic Park?" Fang Yang said, "Do you want to take a look? It only costs five points for two hours, and the dinosaurs inside can't attack guests, so don't worry."

Ning Jie hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She needed to figure out what was going on in the hotel and report back to An Cairou.

Fang Yang led Ning Jie to the entrance of Jurassic Park and said, "Just swipe your card and you can go in."

After Ning Jie swiped her card, she entered.

Not long after, she came out with a pale face.

She hadn't expected the dinosaurs to be real! It wasn't at all like An Cairou had imagined!

Although the dinosaurs couldn't attack her now, what would happen if her identity was exposed?

Moreover, she finally understood completely that An Cairou had no chance against the owner of this hotel!

After all, they even had dinosaurs!

If she continued to help An Cairou... even if her identity wasn't exposed now, her fate in the future would surely be dire!
