Chapter 70 Advertising Company
After resolving the trouble at Yinghua Hotel, Wang Xiao didn't linger and immediately led the two electricians to the location where the generator was stored at Yinghua Hotel.
Wang Xiao asked, "How is it? Can you two handle this?"
The two electricians looked at the generator model, discussed it for a while, and then said, "Boss Wang, no problem, it just might take a day, and we'll need some extra help."
Wang Xiao looked at Xue Wu and Xiong Sanzhuang who had followed him and said, "Sure, just let these two know if you need anything."
If you need food or anything else, I will have it delivered to you later.
As for the compensation, it remains the same as we agreed upon at the hotel.
The two electricians exchanged a glance and quickly said, "Alright, with Boss Wang's word, let's get started."
Wang Xiao nodded, and the two electricians put on their gear and began checking whether the various parts of the generator were working properly.
Xiong Sanzhuang and Xue Wu led their men to guard the area around the hotel to prevent other survivors or zombies from getting close and disturbing them.
Xue Wu glanced at the corpses lying haphazardly on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what do we do with these guys?"
Wang Xiao glanced at it and said indifferently, "Those who have made a move, throw them far away, so as not to affect the electrician's work."
Those who are still alive, lock them up for now, and let them fend for themselves after we're done with this."
"Yes."
Xue Wu waved his hand, and Xiong Sanzhuang immediately led his men into action.
Seven or eight people dragged the corpse and threw it into a distant alley, their movements extremely swift.
Because of the incident with the man in the leather jacket, Wang Xiao, who had originally planned to drop the man off and return to the hotel, stayed a little longer.
A short while later, after the two electricians finished inspecting the generator, one of the older ones looked up at Wang Xiao.
"Boss Wang, these two generators are in pretty good condition and haven't been used much. They should be able to be removed, but it will take some time."
"No rush, take your time, safety first."
Wang Xiao lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall, and scanned his surroundings.
The streets were quiet, with only the occasional roar of a zombie coming from afar.
But he was thinking about something else.
Once this generator is in place, even if there is a power outage later, the kitchen's refrigeration equipment, the hotel's lighting system, communication equipment, and other electrical appliances can still maintain basic operation.
After staying for a while and finding that nothing unexpected happened at Yinghua Hotel, Wang Xiao checked the time and prepared to go to the nearby GG Company.
Wang Xiao called the two over and instructed them, "Xue Wu, you stay here and watch the generator for me. I'm going to the nearby GG company."
Upon hearing this, Xue Wu immediately said, "Boss, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone? Why don't I go with you? Xiong Sanzhuang and the others are here..."
Although he knew that Wang Xiao's strength meant that even ordinary mutated zombies couldn't harm him, as a responsible employee, if he didn't care about his boss at this moment, what was the point of talking about future promotion plans?
Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "No need. The reason I asked you to stay here is to prevent Xiong Sanzhuang and the others from making mistakes. You keep a close eye on things here."
"Yes."
After saying goodbye to the two, Wang Xiao hummed a tune and followed the map on his phone. He borrowed a car from a nearby zombie boss and drove towards a GG company nearby.
Every now and then you can see a few zombies wandering around, disregarding traffic rules.
If the route is suitable, he'll kill someone along the way and send them to their next life; if the route is unsuitable, Wang Xiao won't bother with it.
As Wang Xiao drove, he mentally planned out the hotel's future development.
Once we get these two generators back, and then get another one from Qin Huai'an's company, the mission will be complete.
Next, if you replace the signboard along the way, you can get another 20 points.
This brings me 40 points, one step closer to the weapon research platform.
However, if the rooms are to be renovated, the hotel's original number of rooms seems to be insufficient...
After thinking for a while, Wang Xiao decided to wait until the weapon research and development platform could be built before renovating the unused rooms on the sixth floor.
We'll change the position when it's more suitable later.
About twenty minutes later, Wang Xiao stopped his car in front of a company called "New Star GG Decoration".
The company was small, a three-story building with its glass doors half-open and some documents and broken glass scattered on the ground.
Several zombies were wandering outside the door.
Out of good intentions, after sending a few zombie buddies on their way, Wang Xiao pushed open the door and entered.
The situation inside wasn't much better; it was a complete mess.
Hearing the commotion, the zombies were very welcoming to Wang Xiao, their guest.
Everyone was eager to "entertain" Wang Xiao.
Among them was a "beautiful woman" dressed as a professional secretary who wanted to have an in-depth conversation with Wang Xiao in order to "perform his duties".
Wang Xiao was extremely disgusted and resistant to this behavior.
Of course, the main reason is that I'm not particularly interested in the "beautiful women" among the zombies.
After spending a few minutes politely declining the zombies' offers, Wang Xiao finally took a look at the situation of the entire company.
He glanced around the lobby on the first floor. The large screen at the front desk, which was used to display GG advertisements, was broken, but the sample GG signs hanging on the wall were still intact.
Wang Xiao walked straight to the second floor, his footsteps sounding particularly clear in the quiet corridor.
Is anyone there?
He asked casually, not expecting anyone to actually respond.
Upon hearing Wang Xiao's voice, several zombies "enthusiastically" rushed out.
"I didn't call you."
After easily dealing with the zombies, just when Wang Xiao thought there were no survivors left in the company, a commotion suddenly came from a tea room in the distance.
Then a boy in work clothes cautiously walked over, holding a mop in his hand.
"Are you a rescue worker? Did you deal with all the zombies downstairs? Did you kill those zombies too?"
Wang Xiao glanced at him, but didn't answer. He lit a cigarette and leisurely surveyed the equipment and materials around him amidst the swirling smoke.
Seeing that Wang Xiao didn't speak, the boy asked again in a low voice, "Are you... are you listening to me?"
Wang Xiao exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not a rescue worker. I'm just here to pick up some things on the way."
As for the zombies downstairs, they're all 'sleeping.' If you want to escape, now's the time.
Upon hearing that Wang Xiao was not a rescuer, the boy's hopeful eyes instantly dimmed.
After a while, the boy said nervously, "What...what are you looking for? This is GG Company, there's nothing valuable here, and we've long since run out of food and water..."
"I'm not looking for food."
As Wang Xiao spoke, he walked over to a large-format printer and began checking the equipment.
"Not going to look for food?"
The boy couldn't understand Wang Xiao's purpose in coming here for a moment.
They're neither looking for food nor rescue workers, so what are they doing here at this time? Surely they're not here to place a Google order, are they?
After confirming that the machine could still start normally, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "I opened a hotel and was thinking of finding a GG company to make a signboard and some promotional posters. Judging from your clothes, you must be an employee of this company, right?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had misheard.
Brother, you really came here to place an order!
The boy looked at Wang Xiao with incomprehension: "Big brother, are you kidding me? What time is it? You're still talking about opening a hotel, and even risking your life to come here as a signboard?"
Wang Xiao, who was used to being misunderstood, smiled and said, "Otherwise what? I came all this way here, I couldn't have come just to visit, could I?"
Now that I've answered your question, shouldn't you also answer the question I just asked?
Seeing that the boy didn't respond, Wang Xiao took out a chocolate bar from his pocket and said:
"Judging from your appearance, you've probably been trapped for a while. I imagine you've eaten everything edible in the break room. How about this for now?"
The boy hesitated for a moment, but eventually, driven by hunger, he came over and took the food from Wang Xiao's hand.
The young man organized his thoughts and said, "Hello, my name is Hao Gang, and I'm an intern at this company. May I ask what brings you here at this hour?"
Seeing that the other party was willing to cooperate, Wang Xiao was happy to make things convenient for them.
Wang Xiao said frankly, "Hao Gang, right? Don't make wild guesses. I'm really just here to be a signboard and a 'GG'."
You said you're an intern at this company, so I assume you can use all these machines, right?
Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. You must be short of food right now, right? I can pay you with food, okay?
Upon hearing that Wang Xiao was actually just there to make a name for himself, Hao Gang found it hard to believe, but looking at the chocolate bar in his hand, he eventually had to accept the fact.
Hao Gang took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and said, "I understand, I can help you, but if you really want to make a sign, you'll have to go to the third floor and use the machines there, but the third floor is very dangerous right now..."
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What's the problem? Is it a zombie?"
Hao Gang said with lingering fear, "No, no, it was a cat..."
I don't know how to describe it to you. Just come upstairs with me and you'll understand. Anyway, that cat is definitely not normal.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao gradually stopped smiling.
Something's not right. Is it a zombie cat? Or is it another "visitor from the abyss"?
