【010】Only "death" is rebirth
Everyone, including Zhou Shan, really didn't expect that the mysterious administrator of Qingyun Hotel could actually advertise before them, and even create a "supermarket sale" feeling.
Laughing and crying...
But it did save them a lot of trouble. They thought that if the Qingyun Hotel hadn't been mentioned in this advertisement, no one would have responded to them even if they shouted in the corridor for a long time.
It's good to think so.
"This advertisement was issued by the Qingyun Hotel where you are located. How did you do it? Our house has been without power for several days." The middle-aged woman asked curiously, pointing to the advertisement on the TV.
This advertisement shocked her when it appeared!
"We are also passengers there and don't know how it works."
"Then why did you come out to search for survivors?" the middle-aged woman continued.
She believes that there is no free lunch in this world.
Especially now that it's the end of the world, friends who were good friends in the past can become merciless, let alone strangers.
If she hadn't heard the Qingyun Hotel mentioned in the advertisement, she would never have opened it.
"Of course it's some tasks given to us by Qingyun Hotel. If we take you there, we can get certain rewards." Zhou Shan said after considering the content.
"Then will you protect us?" the middle-aged woman asked.
"We can help within the scope of help, but it is a long way from Qingyun Hotel. No one knows whether there will be any accidents on the way. You still need to be careful. However, we have more teams coming out this time. We have already I said there will be some signals when we return to the city." Zhou Shan explained.
After hearing this, the middle-aged woman looked thoughtful.
It was also at this time that there was a knock on her door.
The middle-aged woman went to take a look. After seeing the people outside the door, she turned to Gu Qing and his group and said, "I will go with you and pay for it with food. I hope you can help me more on the way, okay?" "
"Food? You still have a lot of food in your hand?" Zhou Shan looked at the middle-aged woman in surprise.
In their opinion, most people in the city now do not hoard too many things, so many people will be without food or water after the end of the world. Even if they don't have it, there won't be much left.
But looking at this person's intention, the food in her hand can be used as payment for them, which is not a bad thing.
The middle-aged woman glanced at them warily, but still said: "I am hoarding it. There has been news that a typhoon is coming this year. We are a coastal city, and I don't like to go out very much. Things are really expensive during typhoons. I stocked up some in advance, but I didn’t expect the end to come.”
Everyone except Gu Qing looked at the middle-aged woman with vague envy.
This is shit luck!
At this time, the knocking outside the door became louder and louder.
"Qi Xiuyun, open the door for me. I know you have stored a lot of things. If you don't give us some, don't blame us for destroying your door. Don't blame us if you are eaten by zombies!"
The sound entered everyone's ears clearly through the door, and everyone else immediately understood why the middle-aged woman, Qi Xiuyun, decided to leave with them in such a short period of time.
Just when the knocks on the door became more intense, Gu Qing opened the door directly and turned sideways.
People outside just staggered in.
A woman about the same age as Qi Xiuyun appeared in front of her.
She originally thought about launching an attack, but when she saw that there were so many people from Gu Qing and the others, she suddenly froze.
Qi Xiuyun looked at the face of his former friend and said calmly: "Peng Yuying, they are from Qingyun Hotel. I have already asked them to take me to Qingyun Hotel with food, and I can't give it to you."
"The people from Qingyun Hotel? They are the ones advertised on TV. They can take us with them. When we go to the hotel, just share your food with us. Food is so precious now, just give them a little. And they are the ones who came to save us." The woman, Peng Yuying, spoke confidently and aggressively.
"Bah! Daydreaming!" Liang Shaoyuan was a young man. Hearing Peng Yuying's shameless words, he snorted instantly.
"What do you mean?" Peng Yuying pointed at Liang Shaoyuan and wanted to lose her temper.
Liang Wende stood in front of Liang Shaoyuan and said calmly: "Children are ignorant and don't know how to speak tactfully."
Peng Yuying: "..."
No matter what Peng Yuying's reaction was, Zhou Shan, the leader, said to Qi Xiuyun: "Where is your food? Let's get some of it and leave."
"Can't you take them all away?" Qi Xiuyun was stunned.
"You can take as much as you can, but there are always zombie attacks on the road. If you walk slowly, no one will stop and wait for you." Zhou Shanyi pointed out.
Qi Xiuyun also understood and stopped worrying. Then he went to the kitchen and took out the remaining bag of rice, "This is what I have left."
A bag of rice!
It is indeed a precious existence in the last days.
Others felt that they still misunderstood the meaning of a lot of food in the other person's mouth.
Qi Xiuyun looked at the surprised eyes of Zhou Shan and his entourage, and realized that the other party seemed to have misunderstood the amount of food she had, and she tightened her hands on the bag.
At this time, Peng Yuying couldn't help it anymore and started grabbing it, "You still have so much rice! Give it to me!"
But the next moment, Gu Qing stopped him with a kitchen knife.
"These foods are already our reward, don't touch them." Gu Qing said calmly.
Peng Yuying looked at the knife in front of her neck, her body stiffened, and she smiled dryly and said: "Don't move, don't move."
The next moment, Gu Qing signaled to Zhou Shan and his party. Zhou Shan and the others understood and retreated directly. Qi Xiuyun quickly followed.
After everyone else went out, Gu Qing looked at Peng Yuying and said: "We will leave after roughly searching this community. You can follow us with weapons. Other than that, don't think about anything else. You can count on us too." Not on."
After saying that, Gu Qing also retreated.
Peng Yuying quickly followed. The next moment, she saw Gu Qing and his entourage continuing to knock on the door of every house. Especially the leader, Gu Qing, sometimes kicked the door open after knocking twice, and then killed him with a kitchen knife. Go in.
Seeing this scene, the woman was frightened. She quickly ran back to the door of her home. After knocking three times, the door opened and she got in directly.
"Mom, how are you?" His son Wei Kangshi asked Peng Yuying.
"I didn't get anything this time. Qi Xiuyun left with the people from Qingyun Hotel."
"Qingyun Hotel? The one on TV?"
"Where are they?"
"We're killing zombies outside!"
"Then let's hurry up and let them protect us to Qingyun Hotel. I have to prepare my luggage quickly..." Wei Kangshi couldn't wait to speak.
Peng Yuying's expression changed after listening to her son's words, and then she recounted her experience at Qi Xiuyun's house.
"That's too much! Aren't they sent by Qingyun Hotel to rescue us?"
"They took Qi Xiuyun's things and didn't protect her, let alone us. They told us to bring weapons if we want to go to the Qingyun Hotel. I'm afraid they want us to kill the zombies ourselves."
"What should we do? Ever since the TV commercial appeared, I have been waiting for the rescue team!" Wei Kangshi became anxious, "Should we follow them?"
"Follow! That Qingyun Hotel looks so mysterious, it must not be simple." Peng Yuying said firmly, "Let's quickly prepare things to follow."
Then the two of them packed up, reluctant to part with this or that, big and small bags.
After Gu Qing and his team searched the entire building, they cautiously appeared in the community and caught up with Gu Qing and his team.
Only then did they notice that there were only a few people following Gu Qing and the others.
"There are only so few people left in our building?" Peng Yuying couldn't help but ask.
Qi Xiuyun glanced at her and said directly: "Some became zombies, some were infected by family members around them and became zombies, some starved to death, some left to look for food, and the rest are the ones who survived."
These words made Peng Yuying. His face turned pale instantly, and suddenly he felt a little lucky that he followed him out.
This time, he didn't dare to be a monster anymore, and he became a little more attentive to Gu Qing and his party.
Gu Qing and his party ignored them at all, instead killing zombies and digging crystal cores along the way.
At this time, Peng Yuying couldn't help but ask: "Is this the crystal core? Is it used as currency in the hotel? Is the price high?"
"One day's overnight stay in the hotel requires one crystal core. Without a crystal core, you cannot enter the hotel." Qi Xiuyun said again.
"Then what if we don't?"
"Kill a zombie, there is something in the zombie's head." Qi Xiuyun raised the kitchen knife in his hand, "I have killed a zombie and got a crystal core."
Peng Yuying's expression changed slightly. How could it be possible for her to kill zombies?
Qi Xiuyun stopped talking. Seeing that they were once friends and now both survivors, her reminder was enough.
Peng Yuying then looked at her Wei Kangshi.
Wei Kangshi shrank his body silently, with a look of fear on his face.
Peng Yuying was choked again.
Gu Qing and his team showed no interest in this team of mothers and children, and directly led the team of survivors to clean up the community. Occasionally, when they encountered lone zombies, they would guide the survivors in the team to kill the zombies.
Many survivors gradually adapted from being at a loss and began to take the initiative to take on the task of cleaning up.
Except for the mother and son, they protected their luggage and followed the team from beginning to end.
After an unknown amount of time, they clearly heard the whistle coming from outside.
Although it was a simple sound, after hearing this, Zhou Shan and his party were ready to retreat.
Soon, different teams headed towards the crossroads where they separated, and the teams became more and more lively.
The people collecting supplies, the rescue workers... the whole team more than doubled in size. No one greeted each other. The next moment they gathered, they headed back to the road without thinking.
Gu Qing and his group of rescue personnel also followed the team closely.
Along the way, due to the large number of people, they encountered a lot of zombies, but most of them were eliminated. However, there were still casualties in the team.
That was because many of the people being rescued were in poor physical condition. They were buried in the belly of their bodies just a little bit away from the big team.
Seeing that no one would come back to rescue the lone person, Peng Yuying and her son Wei Kangshi calmed down even more. In order to catch up with the team, they gradually reduced their luggage.
Their worldview is slowly being refreshed.
While hiding at home, they all knew that the world had changed.
But I haven't really come out yet. This understanding is not strong enough.
At this moment, they know the cruelty of the world.
We also understand very well that if we cannot adapt to the changed world, we will only be eliminated.
"Mom..." Wei Kangshi called his mother, at a loss.
Peng Yuying took out a kitchen knife from her luggage and handed it to the man, and said directly: "If you want to live, kill zombies!"
She has realized that in the face of the end and in the face of life, it is useless to act recklessly!
Only "death" is rebirth.
And there are many people who have the same idea as this mother and son.
They already knew about that magical hotel from the person who rescued them. Now that they have a chance, they must...work hard to live!
