Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 75: Electronics Store and Dessert Shop

Chapter 75

Song Ruoruo's face turned pale at his words. She asked cautiously, "So, can I still have my sister stay with me in this room?"

"You can. It's a double room after all, and it doesn't violate the rules. But I guess your sister won't want to live with you anymore, nor will she take care of you," Xu Shi said with a cold smile. "Also, that man is no pushover. I don't know what he'll do to you since you couldn't help him."

Song Ruoruo panicked. She instinctively wanted to seek help from Gu Wanyin, but Gu Wanyin ignored her and walked away.

"System, where did you teleport Gu Mingyu just now?" Gu Wanyin asked.

"Near the hotel," the system replied.

Gu Wanyin was puzzled. Why not teleport him directly into a zombie horde or the airless vacuum of space?

But she quickly understood.

For Gu Mingyu, death wasn't the most terrifying thing.

Gu Mingyu must be desperate to find her and seek revenge now.

But he's standing right outside the hotel, able to see the building clearly, yet unable to enter or harm Gu Wanyin.

That feeling must be far worse than death!

She'd torture him for a few days before dealing with him.

The thought made her happy.

Gu Wanyin gave an evil smile.

The hotel had newly unlocked an electronics store and a dessert shop.

The electronics store sold phones, tablets, computers, and other devices.

All the electronics here automatically connected to the internet. Customers could use them freely online even after leaving the hotel.

However, they needed to be charged. Each electronic product came with a charger, and there was one free opportunity to get a new charger.

Of course, internet-connected electronics weren't cheap in the apocalyptic world.

The cheapest phone cost over 5,000 points.

The others were even more expensive.

Some high-performance devices even cost tens of thousands of points.

In contrast, just entering an outside base required several Crystal Cores.

In the hotel, the points exchanged from a few Crystal Cores could buy a cheap phone, or even a tablet or computer.

For people in the apocalyptic world, this was incredibly good news!

Of course, ordinary people would need to save up points for a while.

So more and more people often practiced in the zombie-killing simulation training camp.

The dessert shop offered various small sweets, as well as birthday cakes and freshly baked bread.

Everything tasted amazing, with enticing aromas, sweet but not cloying, making it very popular.

The prices weren't high either. A small dessert cost 10 points, while birthday cakes varied from tens to hundreds of points depending on the size.

...

Gu Mingyu was going mad.

Days had passed, and he was still wandering around the hotel like an idiot.

He knew he definitely couldn't enter the hotel, so he had tried to find someone to bring him in, thinking it might work.

But he was still kicked out!

The hotel was right in front of him, his enemy was inside, but he could do nothing!

The horrific image of An Cairou being torn to pieces by the Zombie King was still vivid in his mind...

And his older brother, Gu Chengyu, had also been killed by the Zombie King, dead as a doornail!

Only he had barely survived.

He had returned to Muruo Base, but it had already changed hands. Without his brother, even with his high-level ability, he couldn't compete alone against other high-level ability users.

No one would listen to him or treat him with respect anymore...

He had no choice but to leave Muruo Base and make the perilous journey to the hotel.

But what could he do now? What options did he have left?

He felt a pressure building in his chest, as if his internal organs were about to explode!

Just then, he saw Song Ruoruo running out of Building 2 of the hotel.

Seeing him, Song Ruoruo seemed a bit scared. She glanced at him, then started looking around, probably searching for her sister Song Pengpeng.

But she couldn't find her.

As soon as Gu Mingyu saw her, he felt a surge of anger!

This useless woman hadn't been able to bring him into the hotel!

She really was an idiot!

"Come here," Gu Mingyu beckoned to Song Ruoruo.

"What... what do you want?" Song Ruoruo flinched. "I couldn't help it, I wanted to bring you in, but you've been blacklisted from the hotel..."

"I'm not blaming you," Gu Mingyu sighed. "Weren't you looking for your sister? I know where she went. I'll take you to her."

"Really?"

Song Ruoruo stepped towards him: "Where did Pengpeng go?"

"She went that way. I'll take you there."

Song Ruoruo actually followed Gu Mingyu.

However, after walking for quite a while, she still hadn't seen Song Pengpeng.

"Is Pengpeng really this way? She..."

Before Song Ruoruo could finish speaking, Gu Mingyu suddenly turned around and grabbed her throat with one hand!

She opened her eyes wide in terror. Gu Mingyu's face was now contorted with rage, his eyes full of murderous intent!

"You stupid, useless thing, just die!"

"Let... go of me..."

Song Ruoruo instinctively tried to use her ability, but at that moment, a fierce wind arose, stinging her face and making it almost impossible to open her eyes!

This was... Gu Mingyu's ability!

She was completely suppressed!

Gu Mingyu, this madman, he really wanted to kill her!

Why? She had been so nice to him, truly wanting to help him. So why did he want to kill her?

She thought she was a kind person. Why wasn't she being rewarded for her goodness?

As her consciousness was fading, she caught a glimpse of Song Pengpeng nearby.

"Pengpeng... save me..." she struggled to call for help.

But Song Pengpeng just looked at her indifferently, then turned and ran away.

Song Ruoruo's eyes flew open in shock, and she died in Gu Mingyu's hands, full of resentment!

After killing her, Gu Mingyu sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Actually, Song Ruoruo hadn't done anything to wrong him, but he felt a desperate need to vent his anger!

He didn't dare attack anyone else. After all, those near the hotel were either high-level ability users or groups of low-level ability users and ordinary people. He had no chance of winning alone.

That being the case, he could only take it out on this stupid woman!

...

Gu Wanyin was about to drive to the supermarket when she saw Song Pengpeng running in with another girl, both out of breath.

"Boss, is there... is there an empty room? Can we check in?"

Song Pengpeng had just seen Song Ruoruo being killed by Gu Mingyu. She guessed that Gu Mingyu probably couldn't stay in the hotel either, so wouldn't that mean a room was now available?

Before anyone else noticed, she quickly grabbed a lone girl and wanted to team up with her to share a double room.

The girl was happy to agree, so they rushed in together.

"An empty room?" Gu Wanyin was confused. Just then, the system's voice sounded: "Detected that room 3010 in Building 2 guest Song Ruoruo has no vital signs. Room 3010 is now available."

Song Ruoruo was dead?

"There is indeed an empty room now. Go ahead and check in," Gu Wanyin said.

Song Pengpeng happily went to check in with the girl.

She had no choice. Song Ruoruo had abandoned her sister first, so she couldn't be blamed!

"Was Song Ruoruo killed by Gu Mingyu?" Gu Wanyin shook her head and sighed. "This is why you can't easily trust others in the apocalyptic world... And to think she neglected her own sister for the sake of a strange man. It's truly baffling."

The system made a rustling sound, indicating agreement.

"We've tortured Gu Mingyu for a few days now. It's time to eliminate this menace," Gu Wanyin said.

"Weren't you planning to go to the Peace Supermarket outside?" the system said. "When Gu Mingyu sees you leave the hotel, he'll definitely try to attack you. At that point, I can justifiably kill him without violating any rules."

Gu Wanyin nodded and said, "System, you're so delightfully wicked. I love it."

She left the hotel, got in her car, and drove towards Peace Supermarket.

However, after driving for a short distance, someone suddenly stepped in front of her car.

Judging by the figure, it must be Gu Mingyu.

Gu Wanyin raised an eyebrow, stepped on the brake, and brought the car to a stop.
