Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 63

As soon as she said this, Gu Wanyin immediately understood.

The system was still buzzing in her mind, probably arguing with another system again.

Gu Wanyin smiled at the girl and said, "If I speak like this, can your system hear me?"

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, it can."

"Then I'll be direct. I'm very grateful for your affection, but right now, I'm getting along very well with my system. It's a very important partner to me, and I'm also very happy at the hotel. So, I won't be binding with any other system. Moreover, the horror world might not suit me, so you should choose someone else as your new host."

Gu Wanyin's tone was still very polite.

After all, it was her system's colleague, so she had to be courteous.

Meanwhile, her system was already touched and started whimpering.

The girl was silent for a moment, as if listening to what her system was saying. After a while, she said, "Are you sure? My system says it can definitely guarantee your safety in the horror world, and after you complete all the tasks, you'll receive extremely generous rewards."

"No, thank you. I'm not interested," Gu Wanyin shook her head.

She felt she was already living very well in the hotel.

Moreover, no matter how generous the rewards were, she would never betray her current system.

She had her own principles.

After another moment, the girl nodded and smiled, "Alright, we understand. I'll be going now, goodbye."

"Goodbye," Gu Wanyin said politely.

After the girl left, Gu Wanyin went back to her room to sleep.

She had been tired for a while and needed to rest well, as she would be returning to the hotel tomorrow.

What she didn't know was that after the girl left the supermarket and walked for a while, she said to her system in her heart, "You heard everything she said clearly, right? I advise you to give up. I can see that her relationship with her system is more than just cooperation. Why don't you consider my cousin? She's also very capable."

It's unclear what her system said, but the girl shook her head helplessly and muttered to herself, "You're so stubborn, I'm worried you'll end up paying the price one day..."

The next morning, when Gu Wanyin opened her eyes, she still felt a bit groggy.

She rubbed her head as she sat up, looked around at her surroundings, and indeed, she was back in the hotel.

Cola and Hamburger were still sleeping next to her, not yet awake.

"System, why is my head so dizzy?" Gu Wanyin asked in her mind.

"Host, it's a normal reaction when traveling between two worlds. It'll pass in a few minutes," the system said.

Hearing this, Gu Wanyin felt relieved. Not wanting to wake the two kids, she quietly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Sure enough, after washing up, she felt refreshed and clear-headed.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Cola and Hamburger were both awake.

They were still a bit dazed at first, but as soon as they saw her, they both pounced on her.

"Sister, you're back!"

"Sister, you're finally back, I missed you so much!"

Gu Wanyin patted their heads and asked with a smile, "You two didn't cause any trouble while I was gone, did you?"

"Of course not!" Cola patted his chest and said, "Do we look like the kind of kids who would cause trouble? Of course not."

"Haha, alright, I believe you."

"Sister, after you left, many more guests arrived! All the rooms on the seventh floor have been unlocked, and there's a new store. The cafeteria also has many more dishes now!"

The system's first-place reward for this month, besides earning quick money in the horror world, included other benefits.

Although Gu Wanyin wasn't at the hotel for the past few days, all the rewards had already been unlocked.

The rewards included: all rooms on the seventh floor unlocked; all rooms on the sixth floor upgraded once; all dishes in the cafeteria unlocked; a bookstore unlocked with unlimited books; a teahouse unlocked with unlimited tea and snacks; a gym unlocked; and an elevator unlocked.

It was quite generous. Just unlocking all the dishes in the cafeteria was enough to make the guests happy.

"Mm, I know. It's perfect timing. Now that we have a bookstore, I'll go pick up a few books to teach you two how to read."

Cola and Hamburger hadn't had the chance to learn to read at the orphanage before the apocalypse came.

Now, although there wasn't a school yet, they had a bookstore, so she could start teaching Cola and Hamburger to recognize some characters.

"Great!"

Gu Wanyin went to the cafeteria to have a hot breakfast.

In the horror world, she could only eat snacks or instant food, which had left her quite frustrated.

After breakfast, seeing that the weather outside was nice, she decided to go for a walk.

In the horror world, the sky was always gloomy and foggy, which was quite depressing.

As Gu Wanyin was leaving the hotel, Xu Shi and several guests saw that she was back and greeted her.

They had been a bit anxious during the days she was away.

Now that she was back, they felt like they had regained their pillar of support.

Gu Wanyin smiled and greeted them before leaving the hotel and slowly strolling forward.

After all, she wasn't afraid of anything outside, so it didn't matter if she walked a bit farther.

The sunshine today was quite nice, and it wasn't too hot either: a rare good weather day in the post-apocalyptic world.

As she was walking, she suddenly saw someone lying on the ground ahead, legs crossed, as if sunbathing.

For someone to be so leisurely sunbathing out here, unafraid of zombies suddenly appearing, could they be a high-level ability user?

Gu Wanyin was a bit curious and took a few steps closer.

But as she got a bit nearer, she realized that it wasn't a person at all, but a zombie!

The zombie was just lying there quietly, eyes closed, feet swaying back and forth, its grotesque face actually showing an expression of enjoyment.

Gu Wanyin understood.

This zombie was slacking off!

Who knew zombies could slack off too!

Of course, she wouldn't disturb its sunbathing, so she continued walking forward.

After walking for a while, she saw a few more figures ahead.

This time they weren't zombies, but people, because she recognized some familiar faces.

Fu Siheng, Bai Shuwen, and the one lying on the ground was... Nie Long?

Moreover, Fu Siheng seemed to be holding someone in his arms!

What had happened?

Gu Wanyin stepped forward.

She couldn't interfere in others' affairs outside the hotel, but there was no problem with walking over to take a look and say a few words.

As she got closer, she realized that the person in Fu Siheng's arms was actually Zhao Yueyue.

But at this moment, she was covered in blood and barely breathing.

Fu Siheng also had some injuries.

He was holding Zhao Yueyue, his face full of grief.

Bai Shuwen's expression wasn't good either.

As for Nie Long, he was lying on the ground, blood pooling around him, his face pale and eyes tightly closed. Gu Wanyin thought he must already be dead.

Bai Shuwen was the first to see her and said in surprise, "You're back?"

"Yes," Gu Wanyin nodded, "What happened? How did you all end up... like this?"
