Chapter 30: Building 2 Unlocked, Jiang He Injured

Ten minutes later, Building 2 was fully unlocked. Chu Jiangyue called for Song Chengjun’s group to move from the lobby of Building 1 to the lobby of Building 2.

The two buildings looked the same—both ten floors, with the same pricing.

Everyone present was familiar with the process and obediently lined up.

Seeing such an orderly queue, Chu Jiangyue instinctively sped up her own actions.

Only after everyone had a room and checked in did she finally exhale in relief.

“Thank you for your hard work, Boss Chu.”

Song Chengjun knew that his team of over a hundred people required individual attention from Chu Jiangyue, which must have been exhausting.

“No problem, the more the merrier—I want to make money too.”

Although it was tiring, Chu Jiangyue was both pained and happy. Who doesn’t enjoy earning money?

By the way, she had just opened a restaurant. If anyone was interested, they could take a look.

She pointed to the restaurant located two levels away from her wooden cabin.

This time, both Song Chengjun and Ling Feng’s group looked surprised.

They were certain there hadn’t been a restaurant there before.

But considering Building 2, it wasn’t unacceptable.

“Let’s go see.”

The hotel’s developments were just too extraordinary. This newly opened restaurant piqued their curiosity.

Chu Jiangyue walked ahead, followed by Song Chengjun and the three from Ling Feng’s group.

Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing they noticed was the robotic waiters.

The restaurant only offered ready-made dishes—no menu selection besides previously unlocked foods.

If someone paid attention, they would notice that the food shelves in Building 1 had disappeared.

“Just find a seat, press the button on the armrest, place your order on the virtual screen, and swipe your card. Once the payment is successful, a robot will deliver it to you.”

Chu Jiangyue would use her hotel master token for payment, just like swiping a card—but hers was free.

When Song Chengjun and his team saw her hotel master token, they all paused in unison.

Chu Jiangyue had no intention of explaining, and anyone with sense wouldn’t pry.

Clearly, Song Chengjun’s group understood, as they didn’t ask about the token. They accessed the virtual screen and ordered what they wanted.

Not long after, robotic waiters delivered their meals.

Seeing the robots again, Song Chengjun’s eyes seemed glued to them.

They plainly screamed: “I want one.”

But he also knew that since Chu Jiangyue hadn’t said anything, they were likely not for sale.

Chu Jiangyue and Song Chengjun were not talkative, and Ling Feng, though more expressive, was not exactly socially outgoing.

Ultimately, they finished the meal quietly.

After a full day, Song Chengjun and Ling Feng’s three companions planned to return to their rooms to wash up and rest.

Chu Jiangyue, not yet off duty, took a short walk to aid digestion before returning to Building 1 to continue her watch.

By 9 p.m., people began returning from outside.

They immediately exchanged their collected items at the exchange device.

Some exchanged only a few hundred copper coins, some a few hundred silver coins, and others earned many gold coins.

Chu Jiangyue had already grown accustomed to these disparities.

Around 11 p.m., she saw Shen Zhigui and his group of five return.

But this time, one of them seemed injured.

“Good evening, Boss Chu.”

Jiang He was being carried on Lin Xuyuan’s back. Noticing they had returned to Jianglin Hotel, he used the last of his strength to greet Chu Jiangyue.

Chu Jiangyue was startled—this injury looked serious!

“Injured? Is he okay?”

If it were a zombie bite, it would be disastrous!

Shen Zhigui pressed his lips together. This time, their misjudgment had caused Jiang He’s injury.

“He was hurt by a mutated plant, no risk of infection.”

This clarification was necessary to prevent panic.

“Host, don’t worry. If there were a risk of mutation, the hotel would trigger an alert.”

Little Fox, standing on the counter, had also noticed the injuries and quickly reassured Chu Jiangyue.

“I’m not asking that—if there were a risk of infection, he wouldn’t have been allowed in.”

Chu Jiangyue had full confidence in the hotel’s security system.

Hearing this, Shen Zhigui’s group finally relaxed.

Injuries were minor; what they feared most was anyone being infected by the zombie virus.

“It’s fine. We’ve already found medicine. We’ll clean the wound, apply some ointment, and he’ll be fine in a few days.”

After awakening their abilities, their physical resilience had significantly improved.

Otherwise, Jiang He, a spatial-type ability user, wouldn’t be allowed to go out daily to fight zombies.

But fate being what it is, he had still been injured.

“Then you should go inside quickly and not delay treatment.”

Chu Jiangyue couldn’t do much for injured guests; she hadn’t yet obtained any medical item rewards, and it was uncertain when she would.

“Host, don’t be discouraged. Everything you want will come!”

Little Fox had said this countless times.

She had everything she needed, but her guests didn’t always have what they wanted.

By now, it was also time to end her shift. Chu Jiangyue tidied the counter and returned to her two-story wooden cabin.

Before dawn, both Buildings 1 and 2 began stirring.

Song Chengjun, wearing military boots, quietly counted his team on the hotel lawn.

After ensuring no one was left behind, they prepared to depart.

This time, Ling Feng’s three companions didn’t go with them.

Besides guiding Song Chengjun, they had received a separate task.

Although they got up with Song Chengjun’s team, they split off after leaving Jianglin Hotel.

After Song Chengjun’s team departed, Shen Zhigui and his four companions left Building 1.

“Boss, do you think these people are from B-City Safe Base?”

They had been living at Jianglin Hotel since the apocalypse and had never been elsewhere.

They were curious about the conditions at B-City Safe Base compared to Jianglin Hotel.

“You want to go to the base?”

Shen Zhigui glanced at Lin Xuyuan.

“No way. I’ll definitely follow you, boss.”

Lin Xuyuan quickly denied any intention of separating from the leader.

“The base has its benefits, but Jianglin Hotel suits us better.”

They were upper-tier survivors. At the base, they could be restricted or dragged into conflicts, which was the main reason Shen Zhigui didn’t want to go there.
