Chapter 41 Zombie Horde
After reaching a preliminary agreement with Qin Huai'an, Wang Xiao invited Qin Huai'an to lunch before seeing them off.
After watching Qin Huai'an leave, Wei Yan asked, "Boss, are we really going to cooperate with them?"
Wang Xiao took a sip of water and said slowly, "It's not as simple as you think. Qin Huai'an is a dangerous person. If he weren't so confident in taking me down, it's questionable whether you'd even be standing here right now."
Wei Yan asked incredulously, "Boss, is he really as dangerous as you say? I felt they were quite easy to talk to..."
Wang Xiao glanced at him and sighed, "Young man, don't be fooled by appearances. You still have a lot to learn."
Wang Xiao was not surprised that Wei Yan, a college student who had not yet graduated, was tricked by someone like Qin Huai'an.
Fortunately, there are now plenty of opportunities for this young man to try.
As Wang Xiao walked to the hotel entrance, looking at the zombies roaming the streets once again, he couldn't help but think about his conversation with Qin Huai'an.
Today it's Qin Huai'an, but who will it be tomorrow?
It's even possible that we won't have to wait until tomorrow; perhaps soon, new people with different purposes will appear at the hotel entrance.
As for what kind of people the hotel will encounter next, Wang Xiao is also unable to handle it perfectly.
After thinking for a while, and feeling increasingly troubled, Wang Xiao stopped focusing on the matter and instead called Xue Wu over.
Regardless of what happens to the hotel next, it must at least get through the difficult opening ceremony.
With the hotel's current combat strength, even including Qin Huai'an and Yang Hua who is still alive, there are only 4 ability users.
Since it's unclear how many mutated zombies the system will attract on opening day, having people clear out as many zombies as possible around the hotel can greatly alleviate the pressure the hotel will face on opening day.
Just as Wang Xiao was pondering how to arrange manpower, Xue Wu, who had just finished inspecting the rest of the hotel, quickly ran up to Wang Xiao and respectfully said, "Boss, you wanted to see me?"
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Come with me."
After leading Xue Wu into the room, Wang Xiao pointed to the heavy riot gear inside and said, "Try it on."
Upon learning that the complete set of equipment in front of him was actually for him, Xue Wu's eyes were filled with shock in addition to excitement.
It's no exaggeration to say that with such equipment, his survival ability would be greatly improved, whether facing zombies or other ill-intentioned people.
Despite being envious, Xue Wu shook his head and refused, thinking that Wang Xiao himself didn't have one, saying, "Boss, this thing is too valuable. You should keep it for yourself."
Wang Xiao, who had anticipated Xue Wu's response, said helplessly, "Do you think I need this? If you're going to give it to me, just keep it. If you really want to repay me, then guard the hotel for me."
Upon hearing Wang Xiao's words, Xue Wu immediately recalled the terrifying combat power that Wang Xiao had displayed when dealing with Yang Hua, and finally nodded in agreement.
When Xue Wu appeared in the lobby wearing a heavy riot gear, everyone except Wang Xiao was immediately struck by his appearance.
Wei Yan couldn't help but say, "Boss, where did you get this set of equipment? Why didn't you just get me a set to wear?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran ruthlessly shattered his fantasy: "Alright, wake up. With your small frame, you wouldn't be able to fit into it."
Don't be fooled by how imposing Brother Xue looks in his outfit; that outfit alone weighs over 10 kilograms.
"If it were you, you'd probably have trouble even putting on that uniform, let alone carrying that riot shield."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan completely deflated.
He already struggles to run morning exercises, let alone carry this thing on his back, it would kill him.
Seeing that everyone except Li Hua, who was on night duty last night, had arrived, Wang Xiao also informed them of the plan to start clearing out the zombies near the hotel.
Xue Wu reacted the least, while Wei Yan reacted the most.
This time, Wang Xiao made it clear that he would take him along.
……
Meanwhile, in Chenghua District, a once bustling shopping mall has now been completely transformed into a blood-soaked hell.
A dozen survivors are hiding on the top floor of the mall, clinging to the mall's entrance and struggling to stay afloat.
A young man, who was holding the door tightly, said nervously, "No, if this continues, this door will be breached sooner or later."
A burly man, veins bulging and covered in sweat, shouted back, "Then what do we do? Are we supposed to jump down from here? Please, this is the fourth floor! And there are zombies everywhere outside. Besides guarding the door, you better think of a way out!"
"Alright, stop talking. Instead of wasting your energy talking, you should think about how to escape from here..."
With the efforts of more than a dozen people, the zombies outside the door could only launch wave after wave of attacks on the door for a while.
Just when everyone thought that they could successfully resist the zombie attack by working together, a bloated zombie wielding a cleaver suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the gate after spotting them!
A sharp-eyed girl immediately screamed, "Look! What's that?!"
The woman's scream instantly drew everyone's attention.
Following the direction the girl pointed, everyone saw the mutated zombie charging toward the gate like a human bulldozer.
Several zombies that blindly blocked its way were easily cleaved in two by it with a single stroke.
Faced with the mutated zombies rushing towards the door, the group, who had been full of confidence and believed they could survive by relying on the door, instantly became panicked.
What the hell is this monster?
As the mutated zombies drew ever closer, despair filled the faces of everyone present…
The gate was sturdy, but even the sturdiest gate couldn't withstand the attack of a cleaver!
Just when everyone was in despair, the mutated zombie that had been charging forward suddenly stopped, and then, as if receiving some kind of command, turned around and walked downstairs.
The zombies continued to rush toward the top floor of the mall, but because they blocked the path of the mutated zombie, they were directly cut in half with a single slash.
Everyone was stunned by this bizarre scene.
"What's going on now? Why did it suddenly turn around and leave?"
The sudden departure of the mutated zombies gave the survivors hiding behind the door a chance to catch their breath.
Seeing that many of the zombies had been cleared out due to the abnormal behavior of the mutated zombies, the burly man immediately shouted at the group, "What the hell are you all standing there for? Get out of here! Do you really want to be trapped here and die?"
"Yes, yes, let's get out of here quickly."
And such bizarre situations are not limited to this shopping mall.
On a street in Chenghua District.
A zombie that was swinging a sledgehammer and smashing a door suddenly stopped. After swatting away a zombie that was charging at him, it began to slowly move forward in one direction.
Inside a large supermarket in Chenghua District.
A zombie with visibly mutated claws was about to enjoy the meal it had finally managed to capture when, just as it was about to take a bite, its entire body began to stand up uncontrollably and walk out, leaving a survivor who had fainted from fright alone in the empty supermarket.
For a time, some of the mutated zombies in Chenghua District exhibited various incomprehensible behaviors.
Although it's incomprehensible, at least many of them survived because of it.
As the mutated zombies moved, some ordinary zombies also began to move, eventually forming a sizable horde of zombies...
