Chapter 225 My Mother Opens a Resort Hotel in the Apocalypse 1
"Siyu, be alright, Mom...bang...ah!"
"Mom! Mom! What's wrong!"
Si Yu gripped the phone tremblingly. After hearing a piercing scream, the call was disconnected.
Thinking about the possible scenarios, Si Yu couldn't help but tremble and collapsed to the ground.
"Si Yu, please accept my condolences."
Seeing Si Yu's appearance, An Ruiyang couldn't bear it and said...
"Siyu, you heard it too. Auntie's chances of survival are probably slim. You should come with us. Even if you go back, it won't change anything."
Xu Wei, who was standing nearby, spoke up to offer some advice.
“Xu Wei is right. Si Yu, let’s go with him. We’ll go to City B. The radio said they’ve built a safe zone there. The monsters outside are moving faster and faster. If we don’t leave now, we might not be able to leave at all.”
An Ruiyang also chimed in with his advice.
"Let's go to City B."
Si Yu lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice. He knew how terrifying the monsters outside were. If you were scratched even slightly, you would be assimilated. He had no abilities right now, and even if he went home, he would probably be killed by the monsters on the way.
But Si Yu didn't know that Si Yan had taken over the body the moment the call ended.
As soon as Si Yan opened her eyes, she saw the monster's sharp teeth. She picked up a small wooden stick next to her and hit it, but she didn't expect that she could knock off the monster's head without using much force.
[It seems that if the original owner of this body had persevered a little longer in her previous life, she would have awakened her superpowers.]
[Host, we have another side quest in this life.]
What side quest?
Si Yan was interrupted by the system Xiao Qi before she could figure out the plot.
You need to manage a resort hotel while completing tasks.
[What? A resort hotel? Now? Xiaoqi, you're not seeing things, are you?]
Looking at the gloomy weather outside, Si Yan could faintly hear the roars of those monsters outside. Was it appropriate to open a resort hotel here?
That's right, it's a resort hotel.
Xiaoqi replied affirmatively.
Okay, so where's my hotel?
Si Yan sighed and asked helplessly.
Hehe, look downstairs, there's a little wooden house there.
Si Yan looked in the direction Xiao Qi pointed, and in a place surrounded by tall buildings, a dilapidated little wooden house suddenly appeared.
Seeing that Si Yan didn't speak, Xiao Qi cautiously spoke again.
We are an upgraded resort hotel; we can upgrade to a higher level once we have more guests.
After Si Yan struggled downstairs, she discovered that the small wooden house was even more dilapidated than she had imagined.
Can this really be called a resort hotel?
Si Yan looked at the sign hanging on the cabin and asked with a dark expression.
[Hey, host, don't underestimate this house. Within a ten-meter radius of this house, those monsters can't get in. Once you enter the hotel's safe zone, those monsters won't be able to harm you.]
The system, Xiaoqi, replied arrogantly, "It's a little broken, but it's useful, isn't that enough?"
【Fine. 】
After saying that, Si Yan resignedly started packing up, since the male lead hadn't appeared yet in her son Si Yu's story.
To be honest, his son Si Yu wasn't some kind of vicious villain, but rather like a lucky charm, sending space to the male protagonist.
The jade pendant in question was something Si Yan, the original owner of this body, personally obtained from a temple for Si Yu. Little did she know that it would ultimately become her son's death warrant.
Meanwhile, Si Yu was unaware that the jade pendant around his neck had this function; he and his two roommates were currently fleeing for their lives in a sorry state.
“An Ruiyang, can you be a little more reliable? That warehouse was locked so tightly, it was obviously suspicious, and you just chopped it open with an axe. Now look what happened.”
While fleeing for his life, Xu Wei unleashed a barrage of attacks on An Ruiyang.
"Alright, Xu Wei, Ruiyang, come over here quickly, I found a small supermarket."
"What? Coming right now."
"coming!"
Upon hearing what Si Yu said, An Ruiyang and Xu Wei ran towards him as fast as they could. The three of them were young and strong and ran fast, leaving the monsters far behind. However, the occasional roars from the surrounding area still made Si Yu and the others wary.
"Wow, Siyu, you have good eyesight. You even spotted such a small supermarket?"
Because the sign outside the supermarket had been removed and wooden strips had been used to seal the glass, it was hard to tell that this was a supermarket unless you looked closely.
"Stop talking, just take it. We don't know what happened to the shop owner, he seemed to have left suddenly. Let's take our things and leave as soon as possible."
Si Yu had a vague sense of unease, feeling that something bad would happen if he stayed in the supermarket for too long.
"Si Yu is right, Xu Wei, you need to hurry up. Why do you have to eat now of all times? You're the slowest one."
An Ruiyang said with a look of disgust.
"I'm hungry, is that a problem? Is it against the law to eat just a couple of bites?"
Xu Wei muttered a few words under his breath before carefully packing up his things.
As soon as the three of them finished packing and left the supermarket, they heard a strange noise coming from inside, as if something had come out.
"Come on!"
The three exchanged a glance and then ran off towards the city without stopping.
As the buildings along the way became lower and lower, the three of them were finally able to catch their breath.
"Phew... I'm exhausted. Siyu, look at the map, are we heading in the right direction?"
Xu Wei has no sense of direction; he can't figure out which way to go at all.
"Ha, Xu Wei, I thought you were the fastest runner, how come you don't even know which way we're going?"
An Ruiyang said jokingly while panting.
"Hey, An Ruiyang, you're going too far. This problem of mine isn't something that just started today; didn't you already know about it?"
Xu Wei couldn't stand An Ruiyang's attitude and couldn't help but retort.
"Alright, stop joking around. The border between City C and City B is just ahead. Let's be careful; someone might try to take advantage of the situation there."
Si Yu pondered for a moment and said worriedly.
“Si Yu is right, the world is not peaceful these days, but the three of us carrying this big bag are quite conspicuous.”
Xu Wei looked at the backpacks the three of them were carrying and his face showed reluctance.
"Sure, Xu Wei, you've hit the nail on the head. But are we really going to just give up on something we went through so much trouble to bring out?"
An Ruiyang teased Xu Wei while glancing hesitantly at Si Yu.
"We can't give up on these things; we don't know if we'll be able to find this much food along the way."
Before Si Yu could speak, Xu Wei grabbed his backpack, looking reluctant to leave.
"Xu Wei is right. Even if there is danger, we can't last long without food. Fortunately, it's cold now and we're all dressed warmly."
After Si Yu finished speaking, he put down his backpack.
"Okay, Xu Wei and Rui Yang, you two put everything out of your backpacks into your pockets and stuff your clothes inside. The three of us will just keep one backpack, so we won't be such a big target."
"Okay, let's do as you say."
Xu Wei and An Ruiyang nodded and opened their backpacks, stuffing the contents into their pockets.
After tidying themselves up, Si Yu and his two companions set off towards City B.
And Si Yan's place welcomed its first batch of guests.
"An'an, we've had such bad luck, phew, phew..."
Lin Ruoyan leaned against a nearby wrecked car, panting heavily. How did she end up encountering an evolved monster?
"In other words, we're not so unlucky; at least we escaped."
Wang An'an put her hands on her hips and chuckled softly.
"Yeah, wait! What's that?"
Lin Ruoyan was suddenly drawn to a dilapidated wooden house not far ahead.
"A resort hotel? It looks like there are still people there. Is that normal?"
A faint, yellow light shone from the cabin, standing out quite well in the surrounding darkness.
"This is really abnormal, but our lives aren't normal to begin with. Should we go and take a look?"
Wang An'an and Lin Ruoyan exchanged glances and then nodded slightly.
Unbeknownst to them, a menacing figure was lurking in the alleyway beside them, watching them intently.
"Crack!"
"What was that sound? An'an, did you step on something?"
The two, who were walking towards the cabin, suddenly heard a soft clicking sound. Out of caution, Lin Ruoyan asked a question.
"not me."
Wang An'an looked down at her feet and replied softly.
"What's that? Oh no, run!"
Lin Ruoyan and Wang An'an exchanged a glance, and then ran forward with all their might.
They had just taken a step when they heard the roar of a monster behind them—it was an evolved being!
The two had a bad feeling, but when they heard footsteps behind them, they didn't dare to turn around.
"what!"
Suddenly, Wang An'an's arm was entangled by the monster's tongue.
"An An!"
Lin Ruoyan stopped and rushed forward with a dagger in her hand.
"hiss......"
Lin Ruoyan stabbed the monster in the tongue, and the monster, in pain, released Lin An'an.
"Run, An'an!"
Seeing this, Lin Ruoyan quickly pulled Wang An'an forward, but she subconsciously ran towards the small wooden house. However, she was not paying attention and the two of them lost their footing and fell to the ground.
Hearing the monster's roar behind them, the two closed their eyes in despair. But after waiting for a while, nothing happened. Lin Ruoyan quickly pulled Wang An'an up from the ground.
"What's going on? Why isn't the monster attacking us?"
Wang An'an asked in surprise.
Lin Ruoyan looked around, as if she had discovered something. To confirm her thoughts, she boldly took a few steps toward the monster.
"Ruoyan, what are you doing! Are you out of your mind?"
Wang An'an was terrified when she saw this.
“An’an, look closely, it seems there’s a transparent barrier keeping the monster out.”
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Wang An'an looked in surprise in the direction of the monster.
"Really? We're so close, and it's like it didn't even notice us. What's going on?"
Wang An'an couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Perhaps it really is because of this little cabin."
Lin Ruoyan gestured with her chin toward the cabin, indicating that Wang An'an should look over there.
The sky grew darker, but the words "Resort Hotel" on the cabin shone even brighter.
"What exactly is that? Should we go see it?"
Wang An'an was filled with fear of the unknown, and she didn't know whether she should go or not.
"The worst that could happen is being eaten by a monster, right? What's there to be afraid of? Let's go take a look."
Lin Ruoyan pulled Wang An'an towards the cabin. As soon as they stepped through the door, they heard bells ringing on both sides of the door, followed by a clear female voice.
"Hello, welcome to our resort hotel."
The owner of the voice was Si Yan.
Looking at the two living people in front of her, Si Yan felt that she finally saw hope for an upgrade.
Who are you? What do you want?
Lin Ruoyan shielded Wang An'an behind her and looked nervously at Si Yan, who was just too innocent.
Yes, in this day and age, who has the time or inclination to waste so much water getting themselves all clean, and even wearing a snow-white dress?
Wait a minute, a dress! Isn't it winter now?
Lin Ruoyan looked at Si Yan with even more vigilance. Just who was she?
"I am the owner of this resort hotel. Hello, my name is Si Yan. Welcome."
Si Yan smiled faintly and extended her right hand to Lin Ruoyan.
Although Lin Ruoyan was still full of doubts, she still reached out and shook hands with Si Yan.
"Ruoyan, look! There's food!"
Lin Ruoyan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang An'an. She looked in the direction Wang An'an pointed and saw several shelves full of food.
Having not eaten for more than ten hours, they were starving, and both of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they looked at the food.
Perhaps seeing so much food, Wang An'an couldn't help but become a little bolder.
"Can we eat these?"
"Of course, but you'll need to use points to purchase them. The points redemption policy is written on the display screen on the right, so you can take your time to read it."
After Si Yan finished speaking, she returned to the cashier and lay down on the recliner, looking quite comfortable.
"Ruoyan, this little wooden house looks so small from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be so big inside."
Wang An'an looked around and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Lin Ruoyan did not reply; her entire focus was on the display screen in front of her.
I saw it read:
1. Any item can be exchanged for points, and the number of points exchanged is determined by the system.
2: When entering the resort hotel, you must follow the hotel's rules. Fighting is not allowed. Violators will be immediately teleported out of the hotel to an unknown destination.
3: All items in the hotel can be purchased with points, so feel free to spend more!
""
"If you say that any item will do, is that true?"
Wang An'an asked curiously.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by trying it."
Lin Ruoyan took out a gold necklace from her bag. She had picked it up casually earlier, thinking it might be useful later. And look, it's useful now.
"Ding, you have received a gold necklace weighing 58 grams. It can be exchanged for 10,000 points. The points card has been generated. Please accept it."
After the cold, mechanical voice finished speaking, a flash of blue light suddenly appeared from the machine. After the blue light disappeared, a completely black card floated in front of Lin Ruoyan's eyes.
