"Honey, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Li Xiaosi asked anxiously.
Seeing that she seemed completely panicked, Gu Wanyin suggested, "You'd better go buy some hemostatic medication first to stop his bleeding."
All the medicines in the hotel had been unlocked now, and the hemostatic medication had been used by a guest before and worked exceptionally well.
Moreover, since Wang Jianqing was an Ability User, his recovery ability was stronger than ordinary people, so he should be fine.
Strangely, in this apocalyptic world, while many offensive system ability users had awakened, healing system ability users were extremely rare.
At least Gu Wanyin hadn't seen many so far.
Li Xiaosi suddenly came to her senses and immediately ran to buy medicine.
Xu Shi, along with several other male guests, carried Wang Jianqing to the sofa in the resting area.
Li Xiaosi quickly returned with hemostatic medication, anti-inflammatory drugs, bandages, and other supplies.
With Xu Shi's help, she applied medicine to Wang Jianqing's wounds and bandaged them.
After all, having been in this apocalyptic world for so long, she knew how to do these things.
After bandaging, she fed Wang Jianqing some anti-inflammatory medication. By now, his spirits had improved considerably.
"Honey, are you feeling better?" Li Xiaosi asked with tears in her eyes, "How did you end up like this?"
Wang Jianqing soothingly patted her head, took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice, "I was attacked."
"What happened?" Xu Shi asked, "Not zombies or mutant beasts, but people attacked you?"
"Yes."
"Was it someone with a grudge against you?" another guest inquired.
Wang Jianqing gritted his teeth and said, "No, I don't even know them! I heard them say... that if they killed me, maybe a room would open up in the hotel..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wanyin's pupils constricted.
"What?" a woman exclaimed, "How could anyone do such a thing!"
"It's not hard to understand," another man said, clenching his fists, "Now everyone wants to live in the hotel. Although more rooms became available recently, there are still some people who couldn't get in..."
And if a hotel guest died, wouldn't that mean a vacant room, allowing them to move in?
"What should we do? Does this mean we'll all be in danger if we go out from now on?"
"Yeah, we can't stay cooped up in the hotel forever! We still need to go out to find things to exchange for points!"
"I just bought some clothes and I'm almost out of points. I was planning to go out tomorrow..."
"But what if someone is waiting outside the hotel, follows us when we leave, and then kills us? What then?"
"This is terrifying. Living in the hotel protects us from zombies and natural disasters, but not from human nature!"
"Manager Gu, what should we do about this?"
Several guests looked to Gu Wanyin for help.
Gu Wanyin flexed her fingers and said calmly, "Everyone, please don't worry. I will resolve this matter."
As the hotel owner, she had to take responsibility for the guests' safety.
She didn't want to see all the hotel guests living in fear.
Moreover, if she allowed this situation to continue, what credibility would the hotel have left?
Either killed by zombies or killed by humans...
With Gu Wanyin's assurance, the hotel guests felt inexplicably relieved.
In their eyes, Gu Wanyin was so capable and omnipotent that she would definitely be able to solve this problem.
Seeing that Wang Jianqing had gradually recovered and was no longer in any life-threatening danger, Li Xiaosi breathed a sigh of relief and helped him back to their room.
"Boss, how should we handle this?" Xu Shi asked, as Fang Yang also approached.
"It's not difficult," Gu Wanyin said. "We just need to let the people outside know that when it comes to matters concerning the hotel, it's impossible for them to harbor ill intentions. That should do it."
Xu Shi and Fang Yang exchanged glances.
Although Gu Wanyin hadn't explicitly stated it, they both inexplicably felt excited, sensing that they were about to embark on some big mission with her.
Back in her main room, Gu Wanyin picked up Potato, who was meowing at her, and then asked the system in her mind, "Although I can't control killings outside, this now concerns the hotel's business. I can take action, right?"
"Of course you can," the system said. "What do you want to do, host? I already have the information on those people. At your command, I can mow them all down with a Gatling gun."
"Ah, well..." Gu Wanyin's mouth twitched. "That seems a bit overkill."
She opened a drawer and took out a short knife.
She had gotten this from the weapon shop earlier. It was particularly useful and extremely sharp.
She had been using this short knife when practicing in the zombie-killing simulation training camp recently.
"Host, are you planning to take matters into your own hands?" the system asked.
"Mhm," Gu Wanyin said. "Since I'm the hotel owner, handling this matter personally can have a better deterrent effect. It will also make those with ill intentions give up on such thoughts."
The system expressed approval: "Host, you've grown."
"Of course. I can't rely on you for everything, can I?"
"Then should I temporarily remove your protection mechanism?"
"Absolutely not!" Gu Wanyin flatly refused.
"What happened to not relying on me for everything?"
"Well, I think staying alive is more important."
She was indeed being overconfident because of the system... but she couldn't help it. Who told her to have a system!
Besides, if those people hadn't harbored ill intentions and threatened the hotel, she wouldn't have actively sought trouble.
...
About two kilometers from the hotel, several tents were set up.
Three men sat around a campfire, eating self-heating hotpot and drinking beer.
"Ah, this is great!" said the Bald Man. "This Peace Supermarket is really a godsend!"
"Yeah, I was about to throw up from eating those compressed biscuits!" the Crew Cut Man added. "And those mutated vegetables taste awful. This self-heating hotpot is literally saving my life! And we even have beer to drink!"
At this point, the Scarred Man spoke up with a cold smile: "This is nothing. If we could get into the Peace Hotel, we could eat real hotpot, and even have barbecue! We could use phones, computers, buy weapons!"
Although they had already eaten and drunk quite a lot at the supermarket and restaurants, they knew clearly that what was outside couldn't compare to what was inside the hotel.
That's why they were so desperate to get into the hotel...
"Too bad we couldn't pull it off today!" the Bald Man said resentfully. "That guy, his ability wasn't strong, but he sure could run fast! If we could have killed him, maybe a room would have opened up in the hotel!"
"What if he was sharing a room with someone else?"
"That doesn't matter. We'll just find a chance to kill a few more! It's not like we haven't killed before!"
