The number of rooms unlocked this time was not small.
Many of the guests waiting outside immediately checked into the hotel.
No matter what, the hotel was absolutely immune to all zombies and natural disasters, which was exactly what they desperately desired.
Not to mention that it offered a one-stop solution for eating, drinking, and entertainment. The food in the hotel was also cheaper than in supermarkets and restaurants outside. There was even a zombie-killing simulation training camp and weapons store, which was absolutely necessary for those surviving in the apocalyptic world.
Moreover, quite a few guests came from the demon realm.
When Cat Er returned to the demon realm earlier, she brought back several guests.
Although her expression was always cold and indifferent towards Gu Wanyin, Gu Wanyin could already see that this was just a tsundere cat!
When she heard about the opening of the research laboratory, Zhuang Xiaoxia got very excited and immediately came to ask Gu Wanyin if she could use it.
"You want to use it?" Gu Wanyin was surprised.
The research laboratory was free to use, and the equipment inside could be used at will, but the premise was that one must be doing legitimate research that benefits humanity, even if it eventually fails.
If someone were to treat the research laboratory as a playground, the system would impose penalties.
"Yes!" Zhuang Xiaoxia nodded with a blushing face, "Actually, I've always wanted to research a cure for the zombie virus, but where would I have such conditions in the apocalypse? Now I finally have the chance!"
After chatting with Zhuang Xiaoxia for a few more sentences, Gu Wanyin learned that before the apocalypse, Zhuang Xiaoxia was actually a pharmaceutical Ph.D.
She was still so young, which showed her high talent.
Gu Wanyin was really surprised because Zhuang Xiaoxia had never mentioned it before! Not only her, but even Bai Shuwen and Dong Yue had always thought Zhuang Xiaoxia was just an ordinary employee before the apocalypse.
"Why didn't you ever mention this before?" Gu Wanyin asked.
Zhuang Xiaoxia scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "It's the apocalypse now, mentioning things from before doesn't help... I never thought I'd actually have a place to do research."
"Then you can go!" Gu Wanyin said, "Oh, wait a moment, I have something to give you."
After saying this, Gu Wanyin turned and went back to the main house.
Not long after, she came out with a bag containing fur that had fallen from the Nine-tailed Fox and other demons, as well as leaves that had fallen from the Tree Spirit.
"These might be research materials," Gu Wanyin handed the bag to her, saying, "You can try using these. If it's not enough, ask me for more."
"Okay!" Zhuang Xiaoxia nodded.
Then she took the bag and left, seemingly heading to the research lab with great enthusiasm.
Gu Wanyin discussed with the system and decided that guests who conduct experiments in the research laboratory for more than thirty hours per month would receive 500 points each month.
After all, they are contributing to humanity.
At noon, while Gu Wanyin was eating in the cafeteria, she saw a married couple walking towards her.
The couple looked to be in their twenties and had been staying in the hotel for a while, occupying a king-size bed room. The man, named Wang Jianqing, had a level two Supernatural Ability, while the woman, named Li Xiaosi, was an ordinary person.
When they first arrived, they were quite disheveled, but now they looked much better.
"Is there something you need from me?" Gu Wanyin asked with a smile.
"Um, Manager Gu, there's something we wanted to ask you..." Li Xiaosi didn't finish her sentence before her face turned red, and she nudged the man with her elbow.
Wang Jianqing immediately understood and said with a smile, "Manager Gu, my wife is pregnant."
"Is that so?" Gu Wanyin was also happy for them, "Congratulations!"
In the apocalyptic world, the arrival of newborns who could go to school would make people feel that human civilization could continue, bringing greater hope to people.
This couple had just gotten their marriage certificate before the apocalypse and were preparing for their wedding when disaster struck and zombies appeared, forcing them to flee in a stumbling manner.
If the apocalypse hadn't come, they might have had children already.
"So we wanted to ask you, what about our room when the child is born?" Li Xiaosi asked worriedly, "We're staying in a king-size bed room, which only allows two people to stay. When the child is born, we'll become a family of three..."
"Don't worry about that," Gu Wanyin smiled and said, "When the child is born, they can stay with you until they're thirteen years old."
Gu Wanyin had thought about this point early on and had brought it up with the system.
They couldn't possibly throw newborn babies into the corridor or let them stay in a room alone, could they?
Although the system was strict, it also had a soft side. Moreover, the interstellar world was particularly lenient towards children, as evidenced by Cola and Hamburger surviving with Gu Wanyin.
So children under thirteen could stay with nearby adults, even in single rooms, double rooms, or king-size bed rooms. It didn't matter if adding a child exceeded the room capacity.
However, this didn't apply to family rooms, as they were designed for families in the first place, so the number of occupants couldn't exceed the limit even with children.
For those with children over thirteen, it would be better to find a way to stay in family rooms or presidential suites.
To be honest, not many children survived in the apocalyptic world.
Those who came to the hotel were already staying in family rooms with adults.
But for newborns in the hotel, who knows how many there would be in the future.
So this rule was mainly added for newborns in the hotel.
By the time this couple's child is born and grows to ten years old, more than a decade will have passed. By then, who knows how many hotel buildings will have been unlocked, and there might even be residential areas and towns. So there's no need to worry about not having a room for the family of three.
Hearing this, the couple was very happy. Wang Jianqing, while taking care of his wife, said he would go out in the afternoon to kill some zombies or find some valuable items to exchange for points.
After all, they would need to raise a child soon!
...
However, what Gu Wanyin and Li Xiaosi didn't expect was that in the evening, Wang Jianqing returned covered in wounds.
At that time, Li Xiaosi was waiting for him in the lobby, and Gu Wanyin was also there chatting with Dong Yue, along with a few other guests.
Wang Jianqing stumbled in and immediately collapsed on the ground.
Seeing him covered in blood, Li Xiaosi panicked immediately, her face turning pale as she cried out, "Honey!"
Then, she quickly rushed over to him.
"Honey, are you okay? What happened to you?"
Someone said, "Could he have been bitten by a zombie?"
"Ah? Will he mutate soon?"
"This is terrible..."
Li Xiaosi's face grew even paler. She held Wang Jianqing tightly, crying, "That's impossible!"
"Indeed, it's not possible," Gu Wanyin said. "If he was really infected by a zombie and about to mutate, he wouldn't have been able to enter the hotel."
As she said this, others also realized it.
"Then, what exactly happened to him? How did he get injured so badly?"
