Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 32

An Cairou and Gu Chengyu exchanged a glance.

"Rourou, what do you think?" Gu Chengyu asked.

"Big brother Chengyu, I think we could go talk to that hotel owner and ask her to bring her supplies here. You could offer her an official position," An Cairou said innocently. "That should benefit both parties, right? After all, who wouldn\'t want the protection of Muruo Base?"

Gu Chengyu ruffled her hair and said, "Rourou, you\'re so kind."

The subordinate\'s mouth twitched, hesitating to speak.

Gu Chengyu noticed and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I\'ve heard that the hotel owner is quite formidable," the subordinate said gravely. "A few days ago, Ye Gaofei from Haikang Base took some men to try and take over the hotel. They never returned to Haikang Base."

Gu Chengyu\'s brow furrowed immediately.

He knew Ye Gaofei. Though not as strong as himself, Ye Gaofei did have some skills.

He also had high-level ability users under him. How could they have fallen at that hotel?

"And also..."

Seeing the subordinate\'s hesitation, Gu Chengyu grew impatient: "What else? Spit it out."

"They say someone saw dinosaurs."

Gu Chengyu and An Cairou were both stunned for a moment.

"Hahaha..." Gu Chengyu soon burst into laughter, "Dinosaurs? You\'ve got some nerve! What era do you think this is? Did you time travel? Or did the dinosaurs? Hahaha..."

An Cairou, however, had a thoughtful glint in her eyes.

"It\'s true!" the subordinate hurried to say, "In any case, that hotel is mystical. If we want their supplies, we need to plan carefully."

"Big brother Chengyu, he has a point," An Cairou said.

Hearing An Cairou agree, Gu Chengyu immediately became serious: "Rourou, I\'ll listen to you."

An Cairou continued: "Although I also find the dinosaur story hard to believe, such rumors don\'t appear out of nowhere. Besides, haven\'t some mutant beasts appeared outside recently? I think what\'s in the hotel is either some kind of mutant beast that looks like a dinosaur, or there\'s a powerful high-level psychic ability user who can make people see illusions."

Gu Chengyu nodded and asked the subordinate: "Have you heard anything about who the hotel owner actually is?"

"I heard it\'s a young girl."

After the apocalypse, Gu Chengyu had seen quite a few formidable female warriors.

So he wasn\'t too surprised by this information.

An Cairou suddenly smiled: "A girl? Big brother Chengyu, I\'ve thought of a good plan."

"My Rourou is so clever. Quick, tell me what good plan you\'ve come up with?"

Instead of answering him immediately, An Cairou said to the subordinate: "Go fetch Mingyu."

"Yes."

Gu Chengyu seemed somewhat displeased: "Why are you calling him? You know how he feels about you..."

"Don\'t worry, big brother Chengyu. You\'ll understand soon."

After a while, a handsome young man walked in. His features bore some resemblance to Gu Chengyu.

This was Gu Chengyu\'s younger brother, Gu Mingyu.

"Mingyu," An Cairou greeted him with a smile.

Gu Mingyu nodded, his face expressionless, but his eyes held a deep longing as he looked at An Cairou.

"Listen to my idea. Since the hotel owner is a girl, and she\'s very capable, why don\'t we send Mingyu to scout the situation first?" An Cairou said.

"Sister Rourou, you mean that hotel everyone\'s been talking about recently?" Gu Mingyu asked.

"Yes, that\'s the one," An Cairou said. "Mingyu is smart and a level six wind ability user. You\'ll have no problem gathering intelligence. And also..."

She paused here, and both Gu brothers looked at her in confusion.

"Mingyu is so handsome. If we can find a way to make the hotel owner fall for you, wouldn\'t that solve a lot of our problems? Hehe."

Gu Chengyu suddenly understood: "That\'s right! What a great idea!"

Gu Mingyu, however, felt a bit hurt.

Sister Rourou actually wanted him to seduce another woman? It seemed she really didn\'t have any feelings for him at all...

But it didn\'t matter! As long as sister Rourou was happy, he was happy!

So, whatever sister Rourou wanted him to do, he would definitely try his best to accomplish!

"Mingyu, can you do it?" An Cairou looked at him expectantly.

"Mm." Gu Mingyu nodded. "I\'ll go."

"I believe with Mingyu\'s looks and abilities, he\'ll definitely succeed. It\'s perfect - not only will we get supplies, but I\'ll also get a sister-in-law!" Gu Chengyu said with a laugh.

Gu Mingyu smiled faintly but didn\'t respond to the joke.

...

Because Gu Wanyin had gone to Changning Base to do some promotion, the hotel had received quite a few new guests in the past few days.

Now all the rooms on the third floor were occupied, and 401 was also taken. Only room 402 remained empty.

Gu Wanyin was a bit worried.

She seemed to have made no progress on the latest "Stay True to Your Heart" task.

If she couldn\'t complete it, she\'d lose out on the reward.

If more guests arrived, the hotel wouldn\'t have enough rooms.

Wouldn\'t that be a waste of opportunities to earn points?

As Gu Wanyin was pacing back and forth in the lobby, wracking her brains to figure out how to complete the "Stay True to Your Heart" task, another guest arrived.

Of course, with Xu Shi the waiter around, she didn\'t need to worry about it, so she just gave a slight nod to the new guest and continued her pondering.

Even though the new guy was quite handsome.

But she had no interest in checking out handsome guys right now.

"Welcome to Peace Hotel, sir," Xu Shi displayed his standard waiter\'s smile. "Would you like to check in?"

The newcomer was Gu Mingyu.

He first glanced at Gu Wanyin, then looked around the hotel lobby before approaching the front desk and asking, "What\'s the deal with this hotel?"

Xu Shi was already well-practiced in explaining this to guests, so he immediately launched into a detailed explanation.

After listening, Gu Mingyu nodded and took out a level one crystal core, saying, "Please help me check in."

"Certainly! Please take a look at our hotel rules!"

Gu Mingyu carefully read through the rules, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Since entering, he hadn\'t seen anyone resembling security personnel in the hotel... and the waiter in front of him seemed to be just an ordinary person.

As for the girl to the side, she didn\'t seem to have any special abilities either.

He wondered what kind of person the hotel owner really was.

After receiving his room key, Gu Mingyu casually asked Xu Shi, "Are you the owner of this hotel?"

"I\'m not, I\'m just the waiter. Our boss is right over there!"
