Chapter 68 Xiong 3 Zhuang
Wei Yan replied, "President Qin took his men out this morning, but Secretary Huang was left behind and is currently in contact with this group."
In addition to some of the people on Uncle Xue's list, there are also one or two people with special abilities.
"Tsk, that was quick."
Upon hearing that Qin Huai'an's people had begun contacting the ability users resting in the hotel rooms, Wang Xiao did not send anyone from the hotel to stop them, as this was a cooperation agreement that had been made by both sides before the zombie horde.
Wang Xiao said, "Our hotel will not interfere in this matter for the time being. Let's talk about other aspects of the hotel's situation."
Xue Wu said, "Boss, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
After closing his pen, Wang Xiao said, "Speak."
Xue Wu replied, "Yang Hua is dead."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao paused slightly and asked, "How did he die?"
Xue Wu truthfully stated, "Eyewitnesses said he was surrounded and killed by three mutated zombies working together. When the body was found, it had already been eaten, leaving only half of it..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao leaned back in his chair and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Wei Yan, tell Feng Wan that Yang Hua is dead. Also, tell her to come to me if she has any complaints."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Xue Wu asked, "What should we do with Yang Hua's body?"
Wang Xiao closed his eyes and said, "Ask Feng Wan what she thinks. If she has no objections, then treat her the same way as the other victims. After all, he was still a man when he died."
"Yes."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do your work."
After the two left, Wang Xiao opened his eyes, got up from his chair, and walked to the window.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Wang Xiao began to plan the hotel's future development path in his mind.
Seeing that the tasks were still unfinished, Wang Xiao prioritized solving the problems of the generator, collecting samples, and replacing the hotel sign.
Although the collection of samples was entrusted to the Qin Group, it was impossible to rely entirely on the Qin Group's people; otherwise, it would have been a long time before the biological research platform was unlocked.
The appearance of the "visitor from the abyss" was, in itself, an extremely ominous sign for Wang Xiao.
Since the biological research platform cannot be unlocked for the time being, Wang Xiao can only focus his attention on the weapon research platform.
After a moment's thought, Wang Xiao put the generator project, which had been delayed due to the opening of the business, back on the agenda.
Looking at the time, Wang Xiao realized it was still early, so he decided to take advantage of the time to retrieve Yinghua's two machines.
However, as soon as Wang Xiao opened the door, he saw the burly man who had caused trouble earlier and whom he had dealt with standing respectfully outside the door with his seven men.
It seems like he needs to talk to him about something.
Wang Xiao combed his hair back and asked, "What is it?"
Facing Wang Xiao, who had caused him severe psychological trauma, the burly man stammered, "Boss Wang, about that night..."
Wang Xiao naturally knew that the burly man was referring to that night. If it weren't for this person stirring up trouble, he really wouldn't have found a suitable opportunity to intimidate others.
In a sense, this person did him a great favor.
Moreover, judging from the way this person acted when they saw me, it seems they don't have any thoughts of revenge right now.
Even if it were true, Wang Xiao wouldn't mind; it would be a good opportunity for him to complete some system tasks.
After deciding how to deal with this group, Wang Xiao said, "I heard about your performance from Xue Wu. I'll let bygones be bygones for what happened that night. But if there's a next time, don't blame me for not giving you another chance."
After saying that, Wang Xiao walked towards the elevator without looking back.
Seeing Wang Xiao about to leave, the burly man quickly chased after him and said, "Wait, Boss Wang, we actually have another favor to ask..."
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow, his face expressionless, and said, "You wouldn't happen to be the ability user Xue Wu mentioned who wants to join our hotel, would you?"
The burly man and his men immediately nodded in agreement.
The burly man said, "Did Brother Xue tell you? That's great! Boss Wang, I, Xiong Sanzhuang, used to be a bit arrogant and offended you and the Peace Hotel.
Thanks to your guidance, my brothers and I have realized our mistakes and are working hard to make amends.
Especially after encountering that green monster yesterday, and witnessing...
Seeing that the other person was getting more and more excited, Wang Xiao took out a pack of unopened Hongtashan cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out two, and interrupted, "Want some?"
Xiong Sanzhuang was taken aback and said, "Huh?"
Wang Xiao asked impatiently, "To smoke or not to smoke?"
Xiong Sanzhuang immediately took the cigarette Wang Xiao offered and replied, "Smoke, smoke!"
After they both lit the cigarettes, Wang Xiao stuffed the remaining Hongtashan cigarettes into Xiong Sanzhuang's shirt pocket: "The hotel security department has someone in mind for now, but the hotel is still short of a team to go out and collect supplies. I haven't decided on anyone yet."
"Let me make this clear first: this team is taking a lot of risk. If you're interested, go find Wei Yan and Xue Wu; they'll tell you about the hotel arrangements. Once you're ready, wait for me at the hotel entrance."
With that, Wang Xiao extinguished his cigarette and walked into the elevator alone.
After Wang Xiao left, Xiong Sanzhuang and his seven men gathered in the corridor, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Xiong Sanzhuang also held the pack of Hongtashan cigarettes in his hand, his expression solemn as he carefully considered the words left by Wang Xiao.
"Boss, does Boss Wang mean... he's planning to give us a chance?" The first to speak was a short guy.
This man, nicknamed "Monkey," was a deliveryman before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, he followed Xiong Sanzhuang around and was quite agile.
Xiong Sanzhuang took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled, saying, "It is an opportunity, but as you all heard, it's about going out to collect supplies, not staying in the hotel. It's a tough job with high risks. This guy is putting the unpleasant truths out beforehand so we can think it over carefully."
Another burly man with a face full of scars patted his chest: "What's there to be afraid of! It's not like we haven't killed zombies before. We were on the front lines yesterday. Besides, no matter how many zombies are outside, can they be more terrifying than that green monster from yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but recall the oppressive feeling emanating from the Thorn Knight.
That was something that even a ruthless person like Wang Xiao had to go through a lot of trouble to deal with. In comparison, ordinary zombies didn't seem so scary.
At this moment, someone spoke up: "But even such a monster was subdued by Boss Wang, so Boss Wang's strength..."
For a moment, everyone looked at Xiong Sanzhuang with admiration.
Only Xiong Sanzhuang, who had personally experienced Wang Xiao's teachings, understood that if Wang Xiao really wanted to kill him, he would not have had the chance to stand here. This was why he was trying his best to perform in the zombie horde.
Even now, Xiong Sanzhuang wakes up in a fright whenever he recalls that night.
"So, boss, what do we do next?"
Xiong Sanzhuang stubbed out his cigarette on the wall, and after making up his mind, he handed out one Hongtashan cigarette to each of them: "Damn it, at this point, let's not worry about anything else, let's just go for it. Let's go find Manager Wei and Brother Xue."
Since Boss Wang is giving us this opportunity, we should seize it. In this world, having a powerful backer is more important than anything else.
"it is good."
First floor of the hotel.
Wang Xiaozheng and two electricians were discussing the disassembly of the generator in the rest area.
The conclusion is that although it is difficult, it is not impossible, but disassembly, transportation, and subsequent reassembly will be extremely time-consuming.
After confirming that there was a solution, Wang Xiao said, "Then I'll have to trouble you two. As for safety, you don't need to worry. I will personally escort you there. The journey isn't far."
As for the subsequent security and manpower, you can rest assured to leave it to them.
As soon as Wang Xiao finished speaking, Xue Wu led Xiong Sanzhuang and his group over.
Xiong Sanzhuang and his men bowed simultaneously and said, "Boss!"
Wang Xiao stood up and said, "Don't call us too early. There's a mission that requires you to go. It's risky. Only after you successfully complete this mission will you be officially considered as employees of the Peace Hotel."
Knowing their chance to shine had arrived, Xiong Sanzhuang and the others immediately replied excitedly, "Yes!"
