【013】Are they living in the same doomsday?
"Miss Gu." Gu Qing was casually learning some information from the words of the diners around her, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
Looking over, it happened to be Qi Xiuyun who was rescued by them that day.
"It's you! How are you living here? Are you still used to it?" Gu Qing also said hello and asked about the other person's situation.
"It's good. I still have a lot of food. I don't need to spend crystal cores to buy it these days. The few crystal cores you left for me on the way are enough for me to adjust here for a few days." Qi Xiuyun said gratefully. Although she also picked up a weapon to fight the zombies, she was helpless. Killing zombies was too difficult. Later, when Gu Qing asked her to help dig up zombie crystal cores and said she would be paid, she knew that it was Gu Qing who was helping. she.
Thanks to the crystal nuclei on the road, she was able to spend these few days peacefully in the hotel.
Next, she will also have to think about her future.
"Do you have any ideas?" Gu Qing also understood the other party's slightly inferior skills. If he really asked her to go out to kill zombies, he would probably die.
We can only be like some old people and children in the hotel, following the team to dig crystal cores and do the logistics.
"I have an idea, but I don't think it will succeed." Qi Xiuyun said with some disappointment.
"Tell me?"
"I originally thought that the hotel would only have one restaurant with a small variety of food. I used to be a chef, and I could also make some food to sell in the hotel. But before I could plan, the hotel was upgraded and the restaurant was still open. With so many more windows, I'm afraid there will soon be a lot of other delicacies that won't be used in my plan." When Qi Xiuyun said this, his eyes were a little disappointed.
Can you not be disappointed? A planned route that didn't require leaving the hotel didn't work.
Gu Qing was thoughtful when listening to Qi Xiuyun's words.
Speaking of which, she didn't open the restaurant window because there was no crystal core, but also because the restaurant window was enough for the time being.
Not everyone will eat in the hotel. Many people go out to search for supplies. Food is the first choice and the hard currency in the hotel. Even if they don't eat it themselves, they will sell it to others. The closer the food is, the cheaper it is.
That's why Gu Qing postponed opening the window.
But at this time, Qi Xiuyun's words reminded her that the hotel could recruit employees now.
There are so many windows, so she can earn cores through mechanized management, but she can still make money by hiring employees, which can give some disadvantaged groups in the hotel a new way to survive.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing comforted him: "The window is not open now, maybe we will hire someone later!"
"Really? Don't all hotels not require people to work? Everything seems to be intelligent." Qi Xiuyun said subconsciously, Qingyun Hotel is so magical, so magical that its status in her mind is high, so how can it hire people to work? Woolen cloth!
"Sometimes, machines may not be better than people. For example, although these foods are delicious, they always taste the same because their seasonings and even the time to turn off the fire are all set, and they are exactly the same. But when people make them, they always taste the same." The food that comes out is different." Gu Qing said truthfully, but in the end of the world, it is good enough to be able to buy cheap and delicious food, who would ask for more?
"Thank you for comforting me." Qi Xiuyun could also feel Gu Qing's kindness and said gratefully.
It’s just that I still don’t have much hope in my heart.
Gu Qing didn't say much. Anyway, she would know later that everything was possible.
Qi Xiuyun didn't interfere with Gu Qing anymore, turned around and left.
As soon as Qi Xiuyun left, Gu Qing had already communicated with the system.
"System, do you think it's okay to hire hotel guests to run the restaurant?" Gu Qing asked aloud.
[Yes, hiring those chefs may not be worth the cost of intelligence. This business can be done. 】
"Then you put a notice on the bulletin board!"
[What about the selection method? 】
"Let's just show off our skills! We'll see the results in one day, until we're full."
【yes. 】
Soon, a new notice appeared on the announcement screen in the lobby, and many people immediately gathered over, with vague curiosity in their eyes.
This hotel has just been upgraded. Is there any new action coming to the hotel?
What could it be?
As I got closer, I saw a new notification appear on it.
[The hotel has been upgraded and the restaurant has expanded in size. We are in urgent need of manpower. We are now publishing a recruitment notice for a number of chefs. Please go to the front desk to sign up. 】
"Are you actually recruiting chefs?"
"I thought those extra windows would also be automated operations!"
"That's good, it has more flavor."
"My wife's craftsmanship is quite good. You can try it. The hotel should give you a salary!"
"Damn it, why didn't I think of this? If I become a hotel employee, I won't be able to get crystal cores without going out to kill zombies. This is so safe."
"Yes, it's so tempting! It's a pity that my skills are not very good!"
"Mine is not good either. I can't get in at first glance. I don't know if the hotel is recruiting other employees."
"Forget it, this job isn't suitable for me, I'll just keep killing zombies!"
"I'm going to go out with the team to kill zombies today and save more crystal cores so that I can buy weapons for the hotel later."
"Is that weapon useful?"
"I don't know. Anyway, many people have bought it and can't wait to go out to test the weapons. If it works well, there will definitely be news back. Although I think the weapons produced by the hotel cannot be bad."
"Yes, but speaking of it, the number of people going out to kill zombies has obviously increased today. Almost all of the big groups have been mobilized, and there are not many people left in the hotel."
"Of course it's for the hotel. They are all saying that the upgrade of the hotel is related to people and crystal cores. Every time the hotel gets a large number of crystal cores and a large number of people come, it is upgraded. They also hope to kill more zombies to promote the upgrade of the hotel. If I hadn’t suffered some injuries yesterday, I would have gone today.”
“After the hotel upgrade, I definitely feel more convenient!”
"The most important thing is that you get crystal cores from killing zombies, you get contribution points from saving people, and you can collect materials and sell them to hotels. At the same time, you can promote the development of hotels. You kill four birds with one stone. No one can refuse such benefits."
"It makes my blood boil. I'll go out tomorrow too."
"Let's go, let's go exercise."
"Together."
"..."
It must be said that the recruitment caused an uproar among the survivors.
Under the current circumstances, this is an iron rice bowl!
But if they can't benefit from it, they won't pay too much attention. The people who join in the fun gradually disperse, and in the end only those who are interested in these positions remain.
Qi Xiuyun was one of them. After learning the news, she came here immediately to confirm. When she saw that the news about recruiting chefs was true, she was a little excited.
I didn't expect that the hotel was really recruiting people, but Miss Gu was right.
Faintly, Qi Xiuyun felt that this was a bit of a coincidence, but she didn't think about it deeply.
After all, in her heart, no matter how powerful Miss Gu is, she cannot compare with the mysterious and powerful hotel.
She wants to sign up!
**
The hotel was bustling, and the fortress was no less busy.
Because a group of people selling weapons from the fortress came back, and their faces were full of excitement.
When they saw them, many people gathered around them.
"How is it? How is it? How does it feel to use the weapon?"
"Produced by the hotel, it must be a high-quality product. This machete is really easy to use. It cuts one head at a time and is so smooth."
"I'm weak, so I didn't buy a machete. I used a bow. I can shoot arrows into zombies' heads from a long distance. It's perfect for me."
"I use an axe, and it's super easy to use."
"Anyway, none of them are easy to use."
"Now I want to know how powerful those guns and artillery are, but I don't have enough crystal cores in my hand."
"I know! I just met a team of superpowers and they bought a rocket launcher. Once they hit it, a group of zombies fell down! If you can afford a rocket launcher and go to a place with a lot of zombies, you can quickly earn back the crystal cores. ”
"Damn it! In this case, we can raise funds!"
"The power is confirmed, I have to buy it quickly!"
"I also need to go."
"Damn! There's already a line over there, hurry up!"
"I almost forgot, the fortress is temporarily limited to 100 people entering!"
"..."
As the news spread faster and faster, more and more people lined up, many of whom were weaker in strength, and they also wanted to use weapons to make up for their shortcomings.
Under this wave of enthusiasm for buying weapons, the money Gu Qing spent at the weapons sales counter yesterday quickly doubled back to her hands.
Sure enough, the more people there are, the richer she gets!
**
On the second day, almost everyone in the hotel was equipped with the new weapons sold by the fortress, and everyone's face was eager to try it.
As before, a large team was assembled first, and then they set off together in a mighty way.
What's particularly different today is that there are many new faces at the end of the team. These are the people who were rescued two days ago. After resting in the hotel for two days and understanding the operation of the hotel, they can't hide in peace and contentment. After waiting to be kicked out of the hotel and spending their remaining balance to buy the cheapest weapons, they were ready to follow the team out to kill zombies.
Even if you can't kill the zombies, you can just collect some supplies and sell them to the hotel.
Everyone is working hard to adapt to the changes of the apocalypse.
Before, they couldn't see the future, so they were negative.
But now, hope is right in front of us!
The team went out for most of the day and came back together before nightfall, quickly making the quiet hotel lively.
Many people heard the shouts of some children as soon as they entered the hotel.
“The restaurant’s new window is online, you can enjoy fresh food.”
"Beef noodles, braised beef noodles...all kinds of delicious noodles."
"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, lean meat and vegetable porridge, assorted eight-treasure porridge..."
"Dough dough sticks, pumpkin pie, egg pancake..."
"Three fresh dumplings, chive dumplings, corn and pork dumplings..."
"..."
All kinds of fresh delicacies that can only be chosen before the end suddenly rang in their ears, and many people couldn't help but swallow.
"The new window in the restaurant has been used."
"should be."
"too fast!"
“Hotels always move fast.”
"Then why don't you leave quickly!"
"I've gained a lot today, it's just the right time to reward myself."
"..."
Immediately they ran towards the restaurant together with each other.
Many survivors who were rescued felt a little shocked when they looked at the environment that was incompatible with the apocalypse outside.
Are they living in the same apocalypse?
