Chapter 47 'Friendly' Communication
You run, I chase.
This time, however, the targets of their escape changed from humans to mutated zombies, and the hunter changed from a mutated zombie to Wang Xiao.
The two entangled each other, and ordinary zombies who only wanted to watch the drama unfold became innocent victims.
Having just narrowly escaped the gecko zombie's tongue by sheer luck, and before he could even voice his protest, Wang Xiao's fire axe came crashing down on him.
During the chase, the gecko zombie desperately ran away while constantly looking back, fearing that the dangerous human might suddenly catch up with it.
Finally, after running for more than twenty streets and no longer seeing Wang Xiao, the gecko zombie gradually slowed down.
After confirming several times that Wang Xiao hadn't caught up, the guy finally stopped in place, sticking out his only remaining half of his tongue, and making painful whimpering sounds.
However, just when it thought it had successfully escaped Wang Xiao and decided to catch a few humans to replenish its strength, suddenly something sharp and cold was placed on its neck.
Immediately afterwards, a voice with a hint of laughter rang in its ears.
"Hey, why did you stop running? Keep running!"
Upon hearing the sound, an unprecedented fear made it turn tail and try to run away.
But this time, its body tilted forward against its will.
It seemed to see its own body... but why was it headless?
As the hotel manager, when you learn that several powerful figures among the thugs are eyeing your hotel, you decide to preemptively engage in "friendly" communication with them before they take any action. Using a few special methods, you successfully persuade three of the key figures to abandon their plans to take over the hotel.
[To thank you for your contributions to the hotel, congratulations on receiving +90 hotel support points and +150 experience points.]
Your level has been increased to level 4.
Wang Xiao had gradually become accustomed to the system's pop-up notifications.
Now, as long as he can be rewarded, even if it's just to kidnap the mutated zombie and bring it back to the hotel as a guest, that's not out of the question.
Although he couldn't provide the mutated zombies with food, he could offer them an extra course called "Self-Cultivation of Zombie Personality".
After all, this was the first time he had ever seen a zombie that could run away in all these days of the apocalypse.
This greatly changed Wang Xiao's understanding of zombies.
As the first zombie that Wang Xiao encountered that could escape, out of curiosity, Wang Xiao thoughtfully tied up the gecko zombie's body with a thick hemp rope, intending to pack it up and take it back to the hotel for careful study.
Perhaps Wang Xiao's actions were too insulting to Shige, as zombies along the way would occasionally surge up to protest.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, and adhering to the principle that no answer is the best answer, Wang Xiao thoughtfully kept them silent forever, letting them sleep peacefully with their questions unanswered.
When Wang Xiao dragged the gecko zombie's corpse back to where it all started, Yue Man was sitting idly on the railing, with two corpses chopped into pieces lying at his feet.
When Wang Xiao looked at the scene, he realized that compared to the other two, his own death was at least not so gruesome.
Seeing Wang Xiao dragging back the corpse of a mutated zombie, Yue Man asked suspiciously, "You're not going to bring this thing back to the hotel, are you?"
Wang Xiao nodded seriously and said, "It's a rare species. Let's take it back and have Wei Yan study it."
Seeing that Wang Xiao didn't seem to be joking, Yue Man didn't stop him, saying, "Alright, the hotel is yours anyway. The problem is, you donated my car, how are we going to get back now?"
Wang Xiao replied, "That's easy. At a time like this, getting a car is a piece of cake. You wait here and keep an eye on the body. I'll be right back."
Just when Yue was full of anticipation, thinking that Wang Xiao would bring him back some kind of luxury car, the guy actually came back wobbling along on a dilapidated-looking electric tricycle.
Looking at the electric tricycle in front of him, Yue Man asked with a complicated expression, "This is the vehicle you made?"
Wang Xiao said helplessly, "What can we do then? Do you really think I'm a jack-of-all-trades? Alright, stop talking nonsense and help me get the body up here. Hurry up and get it in the car. I borrowed this from the mall."
Yue Man's expression grew increasingly complicated: "Borrowed?"
As Wang Xiao lifted the body onto the tricycle, he replied earnestly, "Yeah, it was parked by the roadside. I looked around and didn't see a single corpse. I guess the owner is already dead, so I'm just borrowing it for a bit. If you have any objections, how about we just walk back?"
Although Wang Xiao's explanation was far-fetched, Yue Man accepted it without hesitation when he thought about the long journey.
"Then let's just make do with this."
Just as the two were embarking on their journey back home on their electric tricycle, a survivor nearby, who had just scavenged a large amount of supplies from a shopping mall, was completely dumbfounded.
"Where's my tricycle?! You beast! What kind of time is this?! How the hell are you going to steal a tricycle?! How am I supposed to get to the Peace Hotel?!"
To avoid attracting attention, he specifically chose a dilapidated tricycle from among a group of luxury cars, and in less than an hour, it was gone.
Wang Xiao, who was basking in the glow of success and humming a tune as he hurried home, suddenly sneezed several times in a row.
"Damn it, who thinks that about me?"
Finally, as night approached, the two saw the four large signs of the Crescent Hotel.
Looking at those four characters, Yue Man couldn't help but say, "Hey, aren't you planning to change the name of your hotel sign?"
Wang Xiao, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stammered, "It's just that I didn't have time. Old Yue, do you think everyone is as free as you are every day? Running a hotel is very busy."
[As a newly established hotel, it's quite inappropriate to still be using the previous sign. Please design an artistic sign for your hotel.]
The mission "Your Name" has been issued.
[Task Reward: 20 points.]
Wang Xiao, who had intended to gloss over the matter, immediately changed his tune upon seeing the sudden pop-up notification, saying, "I think you're right. I'll have Xue Wu and the others get one tomorrow."
When the two finally returned to the hotel entrance, they found that the once spacious entrance was now crowded with people, and Qin Huai'an's men were guarding the entrance with weapons.
Yue Man looked at Wang Xiao: "What's going on now?"
Looking at the groups of survivors blocking the hotel entrance, Wang Xiao casually remarked, "What else could it be? They're here to check in."
Wang Xiao was not too surprised by this situation, as he had expected it to happen.
Qin Huai'an valued this point, which is why he set his sights on him.
Just then, a kind-hearted middle-aged man, seeing that Wang Xiao was new, stepped forward and greeted him, "Handsome guy, are you here to join us too?"
Faced with the man's sudden approach, Yue Man immediately shrank behind Wang Xiao.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao was speechless.
He's clearly a formidable zombie killer, but he's not afraid of zombies; instead, he's afraid of people. Wang Xiao finds it hard to comment on this.
To ascertain the situation, Wang Xiao didn't reveal his identity. Instead, he pretended to be someone who had come seeking refuge like a man, feigning surprise and asking, "Brother, you're one of us too?"
"Yes, you must have received the news too."
"Yeah, yeah, but what's going on here, bro? What are you all doing stuck in this traffic jam?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Hey, you don't know, this hotel said that you need points to check in, but we were so focused on escaping, where were we going to get so many supplies to exchange for points?"
Wang Xiao asked curiously, "Didn't anyone go in?"
"Yes, just now, a woman in a leather jacket carrying a huge bag of supplies got in by exchanging points. Let me tell you..."
Just as the two were exchanging a few words, a burly man stepped forward and shouted at Qin Huai'an's men, "Why won't you let us in? Do you think a bunch of doormen can represent the hotel owner? We want to see the owner! Get your owner out here to see me! I'm an ability user!"
