Chapter 49: Initiation of the Plan
Chapter 49
At that time, the two of them nearly lost their lives there.
Fortunately, they were lucky and, with all their might, finally managed to kill those few zombies and obtained two Crystal Cores.
When they went back to check, there was no trace of An Cairou and Gu Mingyu in that snack shop.
Moreover, most of the food inside had been taken away! Only a little was left, probably what the two couldn't carry anymore.
"I never thought An Cairou would do such a thing," Dong Yue said angrily.
Actually, in the apocalypse, it's normal for people to be a bit selfish. It's understandable that An Cairou wanted to take all the food for herself. After all, in the apocalypse, you never know if you'll see tomorrow, so who wouldn't want to grab more food?
But she could have just sent Bai Shuwen and the others away. Instead, she deliberately led them to a place with zombies!
That was truly unforgivable.
"That's why I've remembered it until now," Bai Shuwen said with a cold smile. "Actually, I thought I was quite vigilant at the time. I don't know how I was tricked by An Cairou."
She didn't know, but Gu Wanyin did.
It was the female protagonist's halo!
After all, An Cairou was the female lead in the book.
Unfortunately, that female protagonist halo seemed useless in front of her, a transmigrator bound to a system.
"You don't need to go out and take risks. But don't worry," Gu Wanyin smiled at Bai Shuwen, "What I'm going to do this time is similar to what she did to you back then. So, it's kind of like getting revenge for you."
"Really?" Bai Shuwen's eyes lit up, "Then you must be careful."
"Mm, I know."
Gu Wanyin finished her milk tea and walked outside.
At the entrance of the hotel, An Cairou, Gu Chengyu, and Gu Mingyu were sitting in a car.
An Cairou was very vigilant, so after they arrived at the hotel entrance, they didn't immediately get out of the car and enter the hotel. They were just waiting here for Gu Wanyin to come out.
"Why hasn't she come out yet?" Gu Chengyu was getting a bit impatient, "Could it be that she's too scared?"
"Maybe she hasn't even noticed that her key is missing," Gu Mingyu sneered, "After all, I saw that she was living quite comfortably in the hotel."
"No way," An Cairou said, "She has so many resources and manages such a large hotel. She's not a simple character. In my opinion, she's probably giving us a warning, letting us know that she's not easy to deal with. Unfortunately..."
As she spoke, a smile appeared on her face: "The crucial key is in our hands. No matter how much she struggles, it's useless."
"Speaking of which, it's thanks to your cleverness that we sent Ning Jie over," Gu Chengyu fondly patted her head, "By the way, if we confront her now, will she discover Ning Jie's identity?"
"If that happens, she probably won't let Ning Jie off easily," Gu Mingyu said.
"But even so, Ning Jie's sacrifice would be worth it, wouldn't it?" An Cairou said matter-of-factly, "She can exchange herself for resources for us, and her sister can live a bit better, right?"
Gu Chengyu and Gu Mingyu wouldn't dare to contradict her words, so they both nodded.
Just then, they saw the hotel door open and a young woman walk out.
"It's her!" Gu Mingyu immediately said, "The hotel owner!"
At this moment, Gu Wanyin was wearing a spotless light yellow dress. Even without makeup, she still looked very pretty.
After all, she had been well-nourished in the hotel for so long, her body had recovered quite a bit, no longer looking as emaciated as before.
Seeing her, Gu Chengyu was slightly stunned and said, "I didn't expect the hotel owner here to be so good-looking."
"Brother Chengyu!" An Cairou called out dissatisfiedly.
Gu Chengyu came to his senses and quickly placated her, "I was just saying. In my heart, you'll always be the most beautiful."
An Cairou snorted, her face still not looking too pleased.
If possible, she hoped that in the apocalypse, she would be the only one who could live cleanly and comfortably.
As for others? Hmph... they certainly shouldn't live better than her!
So now, seeing Gu Wanyin's carefree demeanor, she was furious!
That dress Gu Wanyin was wearing looked so nice, she wanted it too!
And this hotel, the environment inside must be very good, right?
No... she not only wanted the resources, but she also had to get this hotel!
"Sister Cairou, should we get out of the car now?" Gu Mingyu asked.
"Mm."
An Cairou nodded, and then the three of them got out of the car together.
The other high-level ability users also got out of their cars.
Gu Wanyin's gaze swept over them, and she smiled, "Oh, so many guests? Would you like to check into my hotel?"
An Cairou laughed coldly in her heart. Your hotel? Hmph, it won't be for long!
"Manager Gu," Gu Mingyu spoke first, his face looking very unpleasant, "Do you remember me?"
Gu Wanyin looked at him, feigning surprise: "Oh my, isn't this Mr. Gu? I was wondering earlier, I hadn't seen you return to the hotel for several days. What happened to you?"
"Stop pretending!" Gu Mingyu roared angrily, "I know it was your doing, kicking me out of the hotel!"
His anger only made Gu Wanyin want to laugh more: "Oh, so you're not that stupid after all. I should thank you, you know, for contributing so many points to me."
"You-!"
As Gu Mingyu was about to say something more, An Cairou stopped him.
Then, she stepped forward and smiled at Gu Wanyin, "Manager Gu, I've heard a lot about you. I'm An Cairou, one of the administrators of Muruo Base."
Previously, when she introduced herself like this elsewhere, people would show expressions of admiration or envy.
But Gu Wanyin's expression remained calm and unperturbed as she said, "Oh, so what brings the people from Muruo Base here?"
"Naturally, we have important business with Manager Gu," An Cairou smiled confidently, "We want to make a deal with you."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."
"Don't be so quick to refuse, Manager Gu," Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes, "We already know your secret."
Since getting out of the car, his gaze had been fixed on Gu Wanyin, never moving away.
He thought, after finding out where that Interdimensional Space was, he would definitely bring Gu Wanyin back to Muruo Base.
He had seen several administrators from other bases, each accompanied by multiple beautiful women.
But he, from beginning to end, only had An Cairou by his side.
Now that he had seen Gu Wanyin, his thoughts became active.
After all, he was the boss of Muruo Base. Having one more woman by his side wouldn't be too much, right?
Of course, An Cairou was still the one he loved most. His sweet Cairou was so understanding, she would surely comprehend his desires.
Upon hearing Gu Chengyu's words, Gu Wanyin deliberately put on a panicked expression: "You, what do you know? Impossible!"
