Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 52

The scream was extremely tragic. It seemed An Cairou was in grave danger.

Judging by the Gu brothers' reactions just now, they were clearly terrified by the Zombie King. With other zombies interfering as well, they definitely wouldn't be able to save An Cairou.

Most likely, they would end up dead themselves.

Gu Wanyin felt somewhat relieved.

At least she wouldn't have to deal with An Cairou's annoyances anymore.

She had no choice. If she hadn't acted first, who knows what An Cairou might have done later.

Moreover, if it weren't for the system's protection, she probably would have died at An Cairou's hands long ago.

And An Cairou even dared to target her younger siblings... that had thoroughly enraged her.

In fact, she could have asked the system to provide weapons and directly attack Muruo Base.

After all, An Cairou had schemed to obtain her hotel and even taken action, so this would count as a normal counterattack after someone else had attacked her. According to the rules, the system could provide her with assistance.

But she thought, there were still other people at Muruo Base who were just living there and hadn't colluded with An Cairou and her group.

Leveling Muruo Base entirely would be too indiscriminate.

Most importantly... her plan this time was enough to make An Cairou experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

An Cairou had thought she was about to obtain supplies, but what awaited her was the brutal Zombie King. Heh, she must be feeling utterly devastated and in pain right now.

This was far more satisfying than directly attacking the base.

So she had followed the map imprinted in her mind by the system to find the Zombie King's lair, and lured An Cairou and her group here.

The reason her plan was so successful, apart from her acting skills, was also due to An Cairou's immense greed, which had caused her to lower her guard.

Gu Wanyin glanced back at the warehouse one more time, then got in her car and drove away.

By her calculations, Fang Yang, whom she had sent to Muruo Base, should have almost finished his task by now.

...

When Gu Wanyin returned to the hotel, everyone immediately gathered around her, asking how things had gone.

She briefly recounted what had just happened.

"Brilliant!" Bai Shuwen clapped his hands in delight. "Now An Cairou can finally experience the pain I felt back then! No, she must be suffering even more than I did, since I managed to escape, while she doesn't have that chance."

"Zombie King? You saw the Zombie King?" Dong Yue asked nervously. "Was it terrifying?"

Gu Wanyin thought about the Zombie King's appearance and nodded solemnly, "It was indeed quite frightening."

Even though she had the system's protection mechanism, she still felt a jolt of fear when she saw the massive and grotesque Zombie King.

"Thank goodness staying in the hotel protects us from all dangers," Zhuang Xiaoxia said, patting her chest.

Just then, Gu Wanyin saw Ning Jie approaching.

She was clutching the hem of her clothes, looking at Gu Wanyin nervously, as if she wanted to ask something but didn't dare to speak.

"You want to ask about your sister, right?" Gu Wanyin said. "Don't worry, since I promised you, I'll definitely follow through. I've already sent someone to bring her here."

"Really?" Ning Jie exclaimed joyfully, almost falling to her knees before Gu Wanyin. "Thank you, Boss Gu, thank you so much!"

"No need to thank me," Gu Wanyin said coolly. "This is just payment for your help."

Ning Jie naturally understood this.

She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, grateful that she had chosen to cooperate with Gu Wanyin.

She had just overheard their conversation... An Cairou was killed by the Zombie King?

Serves her right! That's what she gets for threatening her with her sister!

If she hadn't cooperated with Gu Wanyin, her fate probably wouldn't have been much better...

Ning Jie decided that from now on, she would obediently and quietly live in the hotel with her sister.

Sure enough, by evening, Fang Yang returned.

He came back in a car, bringing with him a timid young girl who resembled Ning Jie somewhat. This must be Ning Jie's sister.

Indeed, as soon as she saw Ning Jie, she burst into tears and threw herself into Ning Jie's arms, crying, "Sister!"

The two sisters then hugged each other and wept loudly.

"How did you get out of the base?" Ning Jie asked, holding her sister. "Didn't An Cairou have people watching you?"

Ning Jie's sister, named Ning Shan, glanced shyly at Fang Yang and said, "There were people watching me, but this Brother Fang brought me out. He's amazing, no one could touch him."

"It's not that I'm amazing," Fang Yang said, scratching his head in embarrassment. "It's all thanks to our boss for hiring me as a waiter that I could do this."

He was now a waiter at the hotel, protected by the system's mechanism.

A few days ago, following Gu Wanyin's instructions, he had set out from the hotel and kept watch near Muruo Base.

After An Cairou and her group left, he entered Muruo Base and rescued Ning Shan.

Due to the protection mechanism, no one could touch him.

He kept Ning Shan close by his side the entire time, so naturally, they couldn't stop them.

When leaving Muruo Base, he also found a car and took enough power crystals to start it, then drove back.

"Well done," Gu Wanyin patted his shoulder.

Fang Yang immediately straightened his back and said, "I won't let the boss down!"

Xu Shi watched from the side, feeling bitter.

Why? Why didn't the boss entrust such an important task to him, but gave it to that punk Fang Yang instead!

No, he had to work even harder from now on to outdo Fang Yang.

The sisters Ning Jie and Ning Shan thanked Gu Wanyin profusely again.

Although Gu Wanyin said there was no need to thank her, that this was the reward Ning Jie deserved, in their hearts, they still regarded Gu Wanyin as their benefactor.

Ning Jie's original room was about to expire, and the large bed rooms on the sixth floor had been unlocked, so Ning Jie directly changed rooms, and the sisters moved into room 601, a large bed room.

The large bed room could accommodate single or double occupancy, but it differed from a double room. It only had one bed, albeit a large one, and only one set of furniture, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. However, the space was larger than a single room, so the points required were between that of a single room and a double room, at fifteen points per day.

Similar to a double room, for double occupancy, each person would hold a room card, and the room fee would be deducted equally from both cards.

Although Ning Jie and Ning Shan didn't have special abilities, they were willing to learn how to go out and kill zombies, or find other valuable items to exchange for points.

It was certainly better than being slaves to An Cairou.

...

Having resolved the threat of An Cairou, Gu Wanyin enjoyed a nice bath that evening and slept soundly.

Just as she woke up in the morning, she heard the system announcing a new task.
