Moreover, the voice sounded particularly childish.
Gu Wanyin paused for a moment before speaking, "Is anyone there? Don't misunderstand, I'm human too."
"Are you really human?" a tiny voice came from behind the tree.
It was clearly a child's voice.
And it sounded like they weren't even ten years old.
This was the first time Gu Wanyin had seen such young children since arriving in this world.
"Of course. If I were a vampire, would I need to speak so politely to you?" Gu Wanyin said, "Besides, look at me, I don't look anything like a vampire."
After she said this, a moment passed, and several small heads peeked out from behind the tree.
Gu Wanyin counted them - there were actually six children.
And they all appeared to be under ten years old.
This was quite remarkable.
Six children under ten years old had managed to survive until now in this dangerous apocalyptic world!
How did they manage that?
In the previous world, there were children too, but each one was accompanied by adults.
But these six children didn't seem to have any adults around them.
At least Gu Wanyin hadn't seen any yet.
Among them, one girl looked the oldest, probably around eight years old.
She was the first to step out from behind the tree, though she didn't come too close to Gu Wanyin. Keeping her distance, she asked warily, "Where did you come from? Do you need something from us?"
Six children in total... if she could bring these children back to the hotel and get them checked in, her task would be complete.
However, there was another question: did these children have anything that could be exchanged for points?
Gu Wanyin introduced her hotel as she had done before.
Then, under the children's shocked gazes, she added, "However, to stay at the hotel, you must have gold items or jewelry to exchange for points. Points are like money, and you can use them to stay at the hotel. Oh, and Blood Element Pearls can also be exchanged for points."
After hearing her words, the children huddled together and whispered among themselves for quite a while.
Then, the oldest girl spoke to Gu Wanyin in a fierce tone, "We'll trust you for now and go to the hotel with you, but don't try any tricks! Otherwise, we won't let you off easy!"
After she said this, the other children nodded their heads like pecking chicks.
But Gu Wanyin didn't feel angry.
For these children to survive so long in the apocalypse without adults, they must be very cautious and quite capable.
To them, she was a stranger right now.
It was normal for them to try to intimidate her by acting tough.
There was no point in getting angry with children.
"Get on the carriage," Gu Wanyin said, "I'll take you to the hotel. By the way, you're sure you have something to exchange for points, right? Even if you go to the hotel, you won't be able to stay without points."
"Of course we do!"
With that, the children climbed onto the carriage one by one.
But they hadn't relaxed at all, each of their little faces full of wariness.
The oldest girl, in particular, kept staring at Gu Wanyin, as if afraid she might do something to harm them.
Gu Wanyin simply ignored her gaze.
Bruno was still waiting for help at the hotel.
She'd better get back quickly.
Thinking this, Gu Wanyin increased the carriage's speed.
