Chapter 10 My hotel is not some kind of charity.
Just as Wei Yan and Xue Wu were shocked by Wang Xiao's strength, Wang Xiao's voice suddenly came from the hotel communicator on Wei Yan's shirt.
"Wei Yan, have the guests arrived at the hotel safely?"
Upon receiving the instruction, Wei Yan quickly pressed the switch and replied, "We've arrived, boss."
"Tell him not to wander off, and to be ready to open the door for me at any time."
"Okay, boss, it's all set for me."
After hanging up the call, Wei Yan looked at Xue Wu beside him and said, "Uncle, I might need you to help me close the door later. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it by myself."
Xue Wu was clearly still not quite there when he said absentmindedly, "Okay...okay, no problem."
After confirming with Wei Yan that Xue Wu had successfully arrived at the hotel, Wang Xiao naturally wouldn't continue to entangle himself with the endless stream of zombies.
No matter how strong he is, his stamina is ultimately limited. In terms of sustained combat power, he can't compare to this group of zombies with unlimited stamina.
With a single sweep of his axe, Wang Xiao drove back the horde of corpses and ran towards the hotel entrance without looking back.
The zombies behind him saw the delicious food in his mouth and wanted to run away, but of course they all disagreed and gave chase to Wang Xiao.
If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of massive fan meeting.
Wang Xiao had thought that one day he would make a name for himself, but he never imagined that one day he would be idolized by a group of zombie brothers and sisters.
Seeing the extremely enthusiastic behavior of the zombie fans behind him, who all looked like they had eaten a lot, Wang Xiao decided to take them for a walk to digest their food before returning to the hotel. Otherwise, with a bunch of zombies blocking the hotel entrance, how could he do business?
Wang Xiao's sudden change of decision left the two people who were anxiously waiting at the hotel entrance at a loss for what to do.
Watching Wang Xiao's figure disappear into the distance, the two looked at each other and fell silent.
Finally, Xue Wu spoke up, breaking the silence between the two.
Xue Wu asked, "He...no...your boss, what is he doing now? Didn't he just ask you to prepare to open the door for him? What's going on now? Is this also part of your plan?"
When Xue Wu asked what was going on, Wei Yan shrugged, looking completely bewildered: "I don't know, he never told me about this part."
He's just a college student who started working yesterday. If you ask him, who will he ask?
About forty minutes passed, and just as the two were wondering whether Wang Xiao would return, Wang Xiao's voice suddenly came from the hotel communicator.
"Wei Yan".
"I am here!"
Upon hearing Wang Xiao's voice, the two men who had each pulled up a chair and were sitting by the door stood up at the same time.
Wei Yan quickly asked, "Boss, what's the situation on your end? Do you need any help?"
Wang Xiao, who was rummaging through a zombie's pockets, heard Wei Yan offer to help him and curled his lip, saying, "You? Help me? Forget it. You'd better just wait for my instructions to open the door. I'll be back soon."
"Yes, boss."
After ending the call, Wang Xiao looked at the whole unopened pack of cigarettes he had pulled out of the zombie's shopping bag, and couldn't help but smile.
Coming out here allows me to complete the system's tasks and also replenish my spiritual nourishment, which is great.
Life is truly full of hope as you get older.
After confirming that there were no obsessive fans around, Wang Xiao hummed a little tune and walked towards the hotel.
When Wang Xiao encountered some clueless zombies on the road, he thoughtfully escorted them to the underworld.
Along the way, Wang Xiao saw many unmanned shops with their lights on. As a model citizen, Wang Xiao, adhering to the principle of not wasting resources, went in and made some purchases for free.
Of course, as payment, Wang Xiao thoughtfully sent his trapped zombie friend on his way without pain.
After wasting some time shopping, Wang Xiao, carrying a fire axe in one hand and several bags in the other, slipped back to the hotel as if nothing had happened.
This made the two people waiting anxiously at the door feel as if they had seen a ghost.
As Wei Yan opened the door, he asked, "Boss, where are those zombies that were chasing you?"
After tossing what he was holding into his arms, Wang Xiao said, "Oh, you mean those insincere fanatics? I took them for a walk around the neighborhood, and when they got tired, I came back."
Do zombies get tired?
Wei Yan then nodded towards the things in his arms: "Then these..."
Wang Xiao casually replied, "It was a gift for doing a good deed."
After hearing Wang Xiao's answer, Wei Yan and Xue Wu's expressions were quite interesting: !!(°o°)
Wang Xiao yawned and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight everyone. Wei Yan, make sure the guests are settled and guard the door. If you let a zombie in, you won't be working at my hotel tomorrow."
After saying that, Wang Xiao ignored their reactions and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.
"etc!"
Just then, Xue Wu called out to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao stopped and turned around, saying, "Guest, is there anything else?"
"I……"
Xue Wu had the words on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know how to say them.
He couldn't very well just say to Wang Xiao, "My wife is still outside, please help me bring her to the hotel as well."
If he hadn't met Wang Xiao, he would probably have been devoured, even the bones would have been gnawed clean by now. How could he possibly ask Wang Xiao for help again...?
Seeing that Xue Wu remained silent for a long time, Wang Xiao, who possessed the system, could more or less guess what he wanted to say.
But Wang Xiao didn't plan to reveal it first; he didn't want to expose the fact that he possessed a system.
"Sir, if you don't have anything else urgent, I'll go and rest now. If you need anything, you can contact our hotel's customer service representative, Wei Yan."
Wang Xiao called out, "Wei Yan, take good care of our distinguished guests."
Wei Yan laboriously pulled out one hand, raised it high, and replied, "Okay, boss, I promise I'll make sure Uncle Xue..."
"Thump."
Before Wei Yan could finish speaking, Xue Wu suddenly knelt down in the direction of Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly asked, "What are you doing, sir?"
Xue Wu lowered his head and said in an extremely humble tone, "I know what I'm about to say will be very shameless, but please, please save my wife..."
Looking at Xue Wu in front of him, Wang Xiao for some reason recalled some unpleasant things that happened when he first joined the company.
At that time, he had only been working there for a short time.
As a newcomer, he was unfamiliar with many aspects of the workplace, but in order to secure orders, he sometimes had to swallow his pride and do things he didn't want to do.
But that's business.
The adult world is anything but easy.
No one cares about a newcomer who has only been with the company for a short time. If you want to snatch orders from a bunch of veterans, you have to make some sacrifices.
He could naturally help Xue Wu according to the system's requirements, but that didn't fit his style.
Even before the apocalypse, no one would help you for no reason, let alone now that it's the apocalypse...
Wang Xiao slowly squatted down, looked at Xue Wu in front of him, and said, "I can help you, guest, but what will you use to pay for your stay at the hotel? My hotel is not some charity."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wu raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes, "I served in the army for eight years and became a truck driver after my discharge."
I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I still have the strength.
"I'm not afraid of death. As long as you're willing to save my wife, I, Xue Wu, am willing to do anything!"
Wang Xiao wasn't surprised by Xue Wu's identity. He continued, "Even if it means sending you to your death right now?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xue Wu replied, "I'm willing to do anything to save my wife!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao looked at Wei Yan beside him and asked, "What do you think?"
Wei Yan glanced at Xue Wu kneeling on the ground, then at Wang Xiao: "Boss, I don't think Uncle Xue is a bad person. He even tried to stop me when I was closing the door..."
Wang Xiao raised his hand to stop Wei Yan from continuing, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke again: "Two questions. First, is your wife in danger right now?"
Xue Wu quickly replied, "She's currently hiding in a nearby baby supplies shop. The doors and windows are locked, so she should be fine for the time being."
Wang Xiao continued, "My second question is, do you think it's worth it?"
Xue Wu was stunned; he didn't understand why Wang Xiao would ask him that.
"With your abilities, as long as you don't act recklessly like you did today, you should be able to survive even without support. Why risk your life to come here?"
What Xue Wu said next silenced both Wang Xiao and Wei Yan.
"You're right, but how many things are truly worth living in this world?"
She's pregnant... she's already three months along.
My husband told me when I got married that if a man can't even protect his wife and children in the face of disaster, then he doesn't deserve to be a qualified man and husband.
I love my family dearly, so I'm willing to give everything for them. I, Xue Wu, swear to my Xue family ancestral hall that as long as you're willing to save her, from this moment on, I, Xue Wu, am willing to go through fire and water for you!
Since you've chosen to expose your weaknesses, things will be much easier.
Wang Xiao did not answer immediately, but instead reached out and pulled Xue Wu up from the ground, smiling slightly:
"Actually, there's no need to exaggerate. My hotel seems to be lacking a qualified security guard. Are you interested?"
Xue Wu's eyes lit up: "I'm willing!"
[Task: Greet every "God" with a smile.]
