Chapter 226 My Mother Opens a Resort Hotel in the Apocalypse 2
"Wow, this is amazing! It's like a dream!"
Wang An'an looked amazed, while Lin Ruoyan had already reached out and taken the points card.
"Hey, Ruoyan, your name is on the card."
Wang An'an picked up the card and saw that Lin Ruoyan's name was on it.
"If that's the case, how strange, how does this machine know your name?"
Wang An'an glanced at Si Yan and whispered in Lin Ruoyan's ear.
"Don't ask so many questions. As long as it doesn't harm us, it's better not to know some things."
After Lin Ruoyan finished speaking, she took the points card and walked towards the shelf.
"Pork floss bread, pickled pepper chicken feet, and sandwich cookies are all my favorite foods!"
Wang An'an couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked at the snacks on the shelf.
"I don't know if we have enough points to buy it."
It was already quite good that there was food to sell; Wang An'an was already prepared for the other party to be a shady shop.
But when she saw the price tags under the snacks, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"One hundred points! That's such a bargain!"
"Well."
Wang An'an realized she had been too loud. After her initial surprise, she couldn't help but cover her mouth. But soon she couldn't resist pulling Lin Ruoyan and jumping up and down excitedly.
"Ruoyan, it's so cheap! So cheap!"
While speaking, Wang An'an glanced at Si Yan, and when she saw that Si Yan wasn't paying attention to them, she couldn't help but pull Lin Ruoyan's arm and shake it repeatedly.
"Ruoyan, let's grab a lot more. The shop owner might have set the price wrong. Let's buy more, or we might not be able to buy it again next time."
Wang An'an picked up the shopping basket next to her and started filling it with things.
Lin Ruoyan was also engrossed in packing things. In this day and age, it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal. Only those who can survive have the right to talk about morality.
Si Yan was almost asleep in the rocking chair, while Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an finally finished shopping.
Seeing the two struggling to carry the shopping basket, Si Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Are you sure you can finish all these snacks? The hotel also has other main dishes. In addition, the hotel happens to have some vacant rooms. Would you like to stay there? It only costs fifty points a day."
Si Yan said with a sweet smile.
"What? You can even stay overnight!"
Wang An'an moved the shopping basket to the side, then poked her head out from behind it and asked in surprise.
"Of course, let's go, I'll show you around. As for your snacks, just leave them at the front desk. Don't worry, no one will dare touch them."
Wang An'an and Lin Ruoyan exchanged glances, but then felt much more at ease thinking about the hotel's mysterious features. So they put down their shopping baskets and followed Si Yan inside.
"Ruoyan, pinch me, let me see if I'm dreaming."
Wang An'an felt it was all too unreal, especially when she opened the room door and saw the clean white sheets and the spotless floor.
"It's so clean! Can we really stay here?"
Wang An'an murmured to herself.
"Of course, you just need to swipe your card at the front desk. It's the same process as when you buy snacks."
Si Yan couldn't help but tease her a little.
Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an couldn't help but blush when they thought about how they had secretly swiped their cards earlier.
However, the desire to stay in a clean room prevailed, and Lin Ruoyan, with a slightly flushed face, followed Si Yan to the front desk to swipe her card.
"I'm planning to stay for a few days. They have a promotion for the new store opening: stay one month, get one month free!"
Si Yan pointed to the display screen on the other wall, where several lines of large characters were clearly written: "New store opening, stay one month and get one month free, first come first served!"
"Then let's stay for a month."
The two of them had bought too many snacks, and now they only had 3,000 points left on their points card. They could only stay for a month and see how it went. If all else failed, they still had a jade bracelet on their hands, which they could at least exchange for some points.
Lin Ruoyan pursed her lips and reached out her right hand to touch the jade bracelet on her left wrist.
"Beep, points have been deducted."
"Here you are, welcome to the hotel."
Si Yan smiled and handed the points card to Lin Ruoyan. Unlike the snack area, the accommodation arrangements required Si Yan to handle them personally. Perhaps the hotel would be able to handle them automatically after an upgrade.
Lin Ruoyan nodded slightly, took the points card, and ran back to her room without looking back.
"Ruoyan, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Seeing Lin Ruoyan's appearance, Wang An'an couldn't help but step forward and ask nervously.
"It's nothing, it's just that everything that happened today feels so unreal."
Lin Ruoyan stared blankly at the points card in her hand and said in a low voice.
"Hey, I thought something had happened. Okay, don't think about it, come and eat."
Wang An'an stepped forward and pulled Lin Ruoyan directly to the table where they had put their snacks.
"I haven't had pork floss bread in ages."
Although the monster had only appeared three months ago, she felt as if she hadn't eaten these snacks in ages, and just looking at them made her drool.
"Mmm, delicious!"
Wang An'an couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after taking just the first bite.
"Hmm, this is what a normal life feels like now."
Lin Ruoyan, who was eating nearby, couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an were enjoying their meal, while Si Yu and his two companions, who had just entered City B, were in a much worse situation.
"Damn it, Si Yu, you guessed right, someone really is taking advantage of the situation."
Xu Wei looked at the people blocking his way and couldn't help but whisper.
"Hey, you three, hand over all the food you have on you."
The man who was speaking looked greedily at the backpack on Si Yu's back. Today, a group of fat sheep had come.
"What should we do, Si Yu? There are six of them."
An Ruiyang leaned closer to Si Yu and asked in a low voice.
"Don't move, I'll go up and negotiate."
Because they had prepared in advance, Si Yu only carried a very small amount of food in his backpack, just in case this situation occurred.
"We can give you the backpacks, but you have to let us through first."
Si Yu said calmly.
"Backpack? Do you think we're idiots? Take off all your clothes."
The man crossed his arms and glanced at Si Yu with a sneer.
Si Yu's eyes narrowed, knowing that things were unlikely to end well today. He had originally thought that as it got late, he could get away with it.
Si Yu turned to Xu Wei and An Ruiyang and winked at them. The two blinked and immediately understood.
Seeing this, Si Yu turned to look at the people in front of him.
"Okay, we promise you, we'll take them off now."
Seeing Si Yu acting so cowardly, the people blocking his way couldn't help but sneer.
"Brother, this kid is a coward. You're really making us worry about him. It's unnecessary."
"Exactly, these three are obviously weak college students, easy to deal with. Look, they've already backed down before we've even made a move."
"Exactly, hahaha..."
No matter how much the people in front of them mocked them, Si Yu and his two companions did not react in any other way.
The instant Si Yu pretended to raise his hand, Xu Wei and An Ruiyang took out whistles from their pockets and started blowing them.
Special circumstances call for special measures; the only way to deal with these people is to use monsters.
"Whoosh..." A sharp sound rang out in the darkness.
"Run!"
At Si Yu's command, Xu Wei and An Ruiyang dashed out like a gust of wind.
I have to run, or I'll die.
"Brother, this kid is cheating!"
The man was horrified and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Hearing the roars of the monsters around him, the man called the boss couldn't help but curse.
"You brats, don't let me run into you again. Let's get out of here quickly."
At this moment, the man could no longer care about Si Yu and the other two; the monster's speed did not allow them any time to be delayed.
He didn't know how long he had been running, but he was too exhausted to run anymore. He leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
"Siyu, Ruiyang, I... I can't run anymore, huff... huff..."
"I can't run anymore, Siyu. Why don't we find a place to hide nearby?"
An Ruiyang, standing to the side, was also exhausted and couldn't run any further.
"Phew... Okay, let's find a place to rest. My legs are about to break."
Si Yu was also panting heavily; he had really done a lot of exercise today.
An Ruiyang looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Siyu, there's a snack shop up ahead with its door open. Let's go in and take a look."
"Let's go, be careful."
Si Yu and Xu Wei followed An Ruiyang toward the snack shop.
The shop's name was illegible; only the words "snacks" were legible, which is why An Ruiyang noticed it at a glance.
"You all stay at the door, I'll go in and take a look first."
An Ruiyang carefully instructed.
"Okay, come out quickly if there's a problem."
Si Yu said with concern.
An Ruiyang nodded upon hearing this, and then cautiously entered the snack shop.
The tables inside the snack shop were covered in dust, and there were faint traces of blood on the floor.
An Ruiyang reached out and touched the dust on the table.
"It seems like no one has been here for a long time."
After finishing his sentence, An Ruiyang went inside again, and after a while, he came out with a calm expression.
"It's safe, come in. We're lucky, there are a few folding beds inside. We can close the door and get a good night's sleep tonight."
"Really? That's great! I haven't slept in a bed in ages, and my neck has been so uncomfortable."
Xu Wei said with delight.
"The usual routine, one person keeps watch for three hours. We don't know the situation here yet, so we can't sleep too soundly."
After closing the door, Si Yu gave the two instructions.
Xu Wei sighed and nodded quickly, after all, he wouldn't dare to actually fall into a deep sleep.
"Siyu, you all go and rest first. I'll take the night watch this time."
An Ruiyang, who was standing to the side, said this while setting up the folding bed.
"Okay, call me when it's time."
Si Yu stopped arguing with An Ruiyang; he was truly exhausted today.
As for Xu Wei, he was already asleep.
"This kid falls asleep pretty fast. If there were a sleeping contest in the future, he would definitely be number one."
Hearing Xu Wei snoring, An Ruiyang said irritably.
Si Yu and the others laughed and lay down as well.
An Ruiyang moved a chair and sat down by the door. He pulled his collar up; the winter night was especially cold.
But Si Yan was different. Even though it was already late at night, Si Yan was eating spicy hot pot.
"smell good."
Wang An'an, who had just come out to use the restroom, couldn't help but swallow hard at the aroma in the air.
After all, no matter how delicious snacks are, they can't compare to a piping hot bowl of spicy hot pot.
Following the aroma, Wang An'an spotted Si Yan holding a small bowl with a steaming bowl of spicy hot pot in front of her.
"Boss, do you sell mala tang (spicy hot pot)?"
Wang An'an was practically drooling as she spoke.
"Selling! 100 points per set, do you want some?"
Si Yan asked casually while eating the rice in her bowl.
"Buy, buy, buy! Boss, wait here, I'll go get the points card right away."
After saying that, Wang An'an ran back to her room in a flash.
As soon as she entered the room, Wang An'an asked breathlessly.
"Ruoyan, where's the card? Where's the points card?"
"What do you need a points card for? And what happened to you?"
As Lin Ruoyan handed over the points card, she asked curiously.
"I'll tell you in a bit, you'll know soon enough."
Wang An'an kept everyone in suspense for a moment.
"What is this mysterious thing?"
Lin Ruoyan looked at Wang An'an's hurried back and said with a smile.
Wang An'an went out for only a short while before returning to her room with the spicy hot pot.
"Hmm, what smells so good?"
Lin Ruoyan, who was packing her things, was attracted by the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but turn around to look.
"Ruoyan, come and take this, it's a bit hot and I can hardly hold it."
Wang An'an said urgently.
"Okay, okay, okay, coming right away."
Although Lin Ruoyan didn't know where Wang An'an got the spicy hot pot, she still quickly stepped forward to catch it, as it would be a pity if it spilled.
"An'an, where did you get this?"
Lin Ruoyan couldn't help but lean closer and smell it.
"Where did you buy it, Boss Si? It only costs 100 points, just as cheap as snacks."
Wang An'an couldn't help but boast.
"Wow, it's so cheap! Does that mean we should buy a whole bunch of snacks today...?"
Lin Ruoyan looked at the two piles of snacks in the corner, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
"Oh, why think so much? It's just a matter of a few points. I know a jewelry store not far from here. They have lots of gold and silver jewelry. We can just pick up a few and that will be enough for us."
Wang An'an offered words of comfort.
"That's true. Since we've already bought it, we shouldn't regret it."
Lin Ruoyan smiled and put it down. Wang An'an, who was standing next to her, handed her a pair of chopsticks.
"Eat quickly, it's still hot. You have to eat some spicy hot pot in the middle of winter."
Wang An'an squinted her eyes happily, which made Lin Ruoyan smile.
Days like this are great.
The two were eating with great enthusiasm, but Si Yan outside put down her chopsticks.
[Host, you seem to be living a pretty good life these days. What about your son, Si Yu?]
The light ball that System Xiaoqi transformed into jumped around Si Yan.
[What can I do? You won't let me overuse my abilities, so I can only try to upgrade the hotel's level and get to Si Yu's side as soon as possible.]
Si Yan got up and walked to the recliner at the front desk, where she sat down, gently swinging her legs, looking quite comfortable.
