Although Xiao Meichen's sister was a hotel employee, she couldn't enjoy any special treatment because of it.
She was a guest at the hotel and had to constantly find Crystal Cores or other items to exchange for points. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stay at the hotel.
Her lifestyle wasn't extravagant, but she still needed to obtain several Crystal Cores to ensure her basic needs were met.
She knew she didn't have a Supernatural Ability, so killing zombies wasn't as easy for her as it was for those with abilities. Therefore, she could only practice regularly in the zombie-killing simulation training camp.
She had a knife, not bought from the store, but one she had found before. It was fairly useful.
This morning, after finishing her breakfast, she finally made up her mind.
Today, when she went out, she had to kill a zombie no matter what!
She was going to face a zombie head-on!
After all, constantly avoiding the problem wouldn't solve anything.
Before leaving, she made a point of saying goodbye to her sister, Xiao Meixuan.
"Waaah, sister, if I don't come back, you must live on well in my place. Don't do anything rash!" Xiao Meichen said, her words punctuated by sniffles and tears.
Xiao Meixuan replied expressionlessly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely live on, eating and drinking well."
Xiao Meichen: "..."
How heartless!
"Hmph, I'm leaving. Wish me luck in successfully killing a zombie."
With that, Xiao Meichen turned and left.
Xiao Meixuan watched her sister's retreating figure, a hint of worry flickering in her eyes.
Although Xiao Meichen was going with several other guests, she still couldn't help but worry about her sister.
She knew her sister was clever, but in this apocalyptic world, not having a Supernatural Ability was a significant disadvantage...
However, this step had to be taken sooner or later.
Otherwise, Xiao Meichen wouldn't be able to continue staying at the hotel.
Wu San had been watching the two sisters from afar.
Seeing Xiao Meichen leave, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for several days!
Today, he would definitely make that naive girl his...
Xiao Meichen and several other guests arrived near a collapsed building.
In recent days, zombies had frequently been spotted in this area.
They walked cautiously, not daring to make a sound, staying alert at all times, afraid that several zombies might suddenly appear.
At that moment, they faintly heard the roar of zombies.
"Did you hear that? It's right ahead!" a young man said in a low voice. "Everyone, tread lightly. Let's try to catch the zombies off guard. That'll give us an advantage."
The others agreed with him and moved forward quietly.
However, while they were focusing all their attention on the road ahead, suddenly, several zombies pounced on them from behind!
Xiao Meichen, who was at the back, was the first to be knocked down by a zombie!
"Ah!"
Xiao Meichen screamed, but fortunately, her reactions were quick. As the zombie opened its mouth to bite, she quickly turned her head to avoid it and desperately stabbed at the zombie with her knife!
But this was her first real combat, and in such a situation, she couldn't perform normally. She stabbed several times but couldn't hit any vital spots.
Meanwhile, the zombie kept trying to bite her.
Xiao Meichen's face turned pale. She knew very well that if she got bitten by a zombie, it would be all over!
The other guests who had come with her were all entangled with other zombies. Even if they wanted to help her, they were powerless to do so!
As the zombie opened its mouth wide and pressed down, the stench of decay hitting her face, Xiao Meichen closed her eyes in despair...
But the expected pain didn't come. Instead, she heard the zombie's agonized scream and felt a wave of heat.
She quickly opened her eyes and saw that the zombie on top of her had somehow rolled to the side and was now engulfed in roaring flames.
The next moment, someone pulled her up forcefully and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Xiao Meichen turned to look and saw it was Wu San, a guest from the hotel.
"You... it... did you take care of this zombie?" Xiao Meichen asked.
The zombie nearby had already been burned to a crisp.
After all, it was only a level one zombie, and for a high-level ability user like Wu San, dealing with it was quite easy.
"Yes," Wu San said with a smile. "I have a Fire Ability. I was planning to come and kill zombies with you all, but I didn't expect to see this zombie pouncing on you as soon as I arrived."
"Thank you for saving me!" Xiao Meichen said gratefully. "If it weren't for you, I might have turned into a zombie by now!"
Everything was going according to Wu San's plan.
But... when he saw Xiao Meichen's bright, sparkling eyes, he suddenly forgot what he was supposed to say next.
Xiao Meichen had already turned to help the others fight zombies.
Wu San was stunned for a moment before letting out a sneer.
This naive girl would surely be easy to control.
...
Back at the hotel, Xiao Meichen immediately said she wanted to treat Wu San to a meal.
She also told many people about how Wu San had saved her, praising him as if he were a great hero who had rushed to her aid.
As a result, the hotel guests began to praise Wu San one after another.
Wu San: "..."
This wasn't quite how he had imagined things would go.
But to be honest, this feeling wasn't half bad?
Because Gu Wanyin always stayed in Building No. 1, she heard about these events from Xiao Meixuan.
Now that there were more and more hotel buildings, the number of guests and staff had also increased.
So every Monday, Gu Wanyin would gather the staff for a meeting.
Xiao Meixuan told them about Wu San and Xiao Meichen's situation.
In the past few days, Wu San and Xiao Meichen had been getting closer. They went out of the hotel together every day to kill zombies or find other items to exchange for points.
Moreover, Wu San gave most of the items to Xiao Meichen.
However, at the same time, he kept asking Xiao Meichen to inquire about various matters concerning the hotel.
After hearing this, Gu Wanyin frowned and said, "Aren't you going to advise your sister? What if she really..."
Although they all understood what Wu San was trying to do now, what if Xiao Meichen really fell for him?
"Boss, don't worry," Xiao Meixuan said with a confident smile. "Although my sister might seem naive on the surface, she's actually quite sharp. Right now, with her and Wu San together... it's hard to say who's fooling who."
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin nodded in understanding.
Wait, the development of this situation seemed different from what she had expected.
It suddenly became interesting...
"Boss Gu, it's done, it's done!"
Just as they were about to end the meeting, suddenly, Zhuang Xiaoxia burst in with disheveled hair.
Everyone was a bit surprised.
Although Zhuang Xiaoxia was usually carefree in her personality, she had never barged into a meeting without knocking before.
Moreover, she looked extremely haggard, as if she hadn't slept for several days, yet her eyes were very bright.
"What's done?" Gu Wanyin asked.
"Come quickly and see!"
Zhuang Xiaoxia ran straight to Gu Wanyin, then without further explanation, grabbed her hand and ran out.
