Su Chen immediately headed downstairs, returning to the second floor.
"Urgh..."
The first thing he saw was Fan Hui throwing up her food.
Several others were doing the same.
"Su Chen, in the cold storage!"
Yang Defa came over as well and told Su Chen what had happened.
It turned out that although everyone had been searching rather halfheartedly, one person had still wanted to find some food to cook for himself.
He had chosen to trust himself.
But when he opened the cold storage, he found it packed with corpses.
They were all dead!
More importantly, there were even things like corpse oil inside.
This meant the kitchen really was unclean.
Although the dishes they had eaten might have been made with normal cooking oil, ...
Corpse oil might have been processed there.
So...
At that thought, everyone could no longer hold back and began vomiting.
Earlier, when Su Chen had told them not to eat, they had still been doubtful.
They had even felt a little defiant when he told them to eat as they pleased.
Now they were practically throwing up their guts.
Who could have imagined that an old lady had killed so many people?
"I told you, that old lady was a murderer!"
Seeing the gruesome scene, Zhou Shufen couldn't help speaking up instead.
The old lady had nearly framed her.
Su Chen glanced at the corpses and barely looked at them again.
The old lady was indeed cruel.
"Take them downstairs!"
Having found the evidence, Su Chen planned to take them downstairs before dealing with them.
Corpses had been processed on the second floor, making it somewhat nauseating to stay there.
For a time, ...
No one wanted to remain on the second floor, and they all returned to the first.
Meanwhile, Su Chen considered how to deal with the little boy and the old lady.
The old lady came first.
Su Chen planned to ask about the Anomalous Object first.
Now that he had confirmed there was something wrong with her, he could interrogate her without concern.
The little boy was somewhat difficult to deal with.
He was a Sequence, but he was also an underage boy.
Su Chen planned to ask everyone for their opinions.
If anyone wanted to raise him, he would let them.
It wouldn't be impossible to deal with him after something went wrong.
It would also be a good opportunity to see whether there were any bleeding hearts in the group.
As for if no one wanted him, ...
Then Su Chen would handle him his own way.
Su Chen had just arrived downstairs when he saw Xiao Zixia wheeling his sister out.
After washing up, Xiao Zixia had green hair and wore a fitted jacket and long pants.
Paired with her green hair, ...
She looked somewhat striking and a little wild!
Su Xi was also wearing long pants, sitting in her wheelchair and looking around.
As Xiao Zixia wheeled Su Xi out, she glanced at Su Chen, seeming to want to say something but holding back.
Su Chen knew that Xiao Zixia had seen his sister's legs and wanted to say something.
"Let me push!"
Su Chen took the wheelchair of his own accord, not letting Xiao Zixia speak.
He already knew, so there was no need to say it.
By then, dawn had broken.
After coming downstairs, the other survivors took fuel and cookware out of their vehicles.
After the gruesome scene on the second floor, even if they wanted to eat, they couldn't possibly eat anything from the hotel. They could only cook for themselves.
They cooked outside.
Su Chen wheeled his sister Su Xi over to the Refrigerated Truck and began cooking.
Naturally, what he took out was the bear meat from his hunt.
Su Chen also took out some meat to feed his Pig-Killing Knife.
Some time later, Zhou Shufen came out after her shower.
After showering and dressing up, she clearly no longer looked as pitiful as before.
Some survivors immediately gathered around her.
Her status as a celebrity and internet personality easily attracted people's attention.
Zhou Shufen spoke with them and learned about the convoy.
After learning how the convoy was organized, her gaze kept falling on Su Chen.
Sequences?
Guides?
Zhou Shufen finally understood why her former group had suffered such terrible deaths.
Su Chen noticed Zhou Shufen looking at him but paid her no mind.
Even a major celebrity was now just an ordinary person.
So they could simply take her in according to the convoy's usual rules.
Just then, however, Zhou Shufen approached and said, "Su Chen, can I join your group?"
Zhou Shufen had learned that all three Sequences had their own people.
She was quite confident in her looks.
"No need!"
Su Chen rejected Zhou Shufen outright without even looking up.
Value mattered in the apocalypse.
Zhou Shufen's value in the apocalypse was clearly less than that of a Sequence.
Who knew what demands she might have in mind?
People who had once reached great heights had all sorts of substantial demands.
Without suffering some setbacks, they might not be able to recognize their place.
At heart, Zhou Shufen was a punk girl, and her personality was somewhat stubborn.
After being rejected, Zhou Shufen left, but she didn't go far.
She kept hovering in front of Su Chen.
"She's a celebrity. Why don't you sleep with her?"
Beside Su Chen, Xiao Zixia couldn't resist teasing him.
"Or do you have a sister complex?"
As she grew more familiar with him, Xiao Zixia had become bolder and started joking with Su Chen.
She hadn't said it very loudly.
Of course, if Zhou Shufen wanted to hear it, she would.
"We're fleeing through the apocalypse, not making babies!"
That one sentence from Su Chen shut Xiao Zixia up.
Some time later, a man wrapped in bandages walked out of the hotel.
It was Huang Wei.
Huang Wei had regained consciousness.
"What's going on with the old lady and little boy tied up in the lobby?"
"Why do I smell human blood?"
As soon as Huang Wei saw Su Chen, he asked what had happened.
"You broke through?"
Su Chen instead asked about Huang Wei's level.
He suspected that Huang Wei's level had increased and immediately inspected him.
[Name]: Huang Wei [Sequence]: Blood Wolf [Level]: Sequence Two [Abilities]: Gigantification in wolf form, further increases in speed and strength, super self-healing. [Cost]: After smelling blood, there is a certain chance of becoming bloodthirsty. Bleeding increases strength or causes loss of control, one of the two.
Gigantification?
Super self-healing?
Those two were quite powerful.
Looking at Huang Wei's improved abilities, Su Chen was fairly satisfied.
But that cost?
Bloodthirsty?
A cost with two possible outcomes seemed rather unusual.
"You noticed?"
A smile appeared on Huang Wei's face.
It had been a lucky accident.
He hadn't expected his strength to improve after being injured.
Huang Wei also unwrapped the bandages on his body.
His wounds had practically all healed.
"Good, very good."
Su Chen spread his arms and gave Huang Wei a hug.
After his breakthrough, Huang Wei had even more body hair.
Both Sequences had improved.
What about me?
Su Chen watched his teammates improve while he had yet to do so.
He still felt somewhat left behind.
"So what exactly happened?"
Huang Wei felt that some things had happened while he was unconscious.
"The old lady and little boy who survived in the hotel killed people and ate people."
"There are still corpses in the cold storage upstairs."
Su Chen explained the situation upstairs.
"They killed people?"
Hearing this news, Huang Wei fell silent too.
"How do you plan to handle it?"
Su Chen glanced at Huang Wei.
He knew Huang Wei wanted to ask him how he intended to deal with them.
Huang Wei had said that the convoy couldn't kill people indiscriminately.
Su Chen deliberately turned the question back on Huang Wei.
"..."
Huang Wei also fell somewhat silent.
The old lady was vicious and couldn't be kept around.
But there was also a child?
"Why don't you eat something first?"
"We can talk later. There's no rush to decide how to handle them!"
Su Chen handed Huang Wei a piece of roasted meat to tide him over.
"There's also an Anomalous Object here. Can you find it?"
Su Chen also mentioned the Anomalous Object.
He planned to interrogate the old lady and get her to reveal its location.
If they could find it beforehand, there would be no need to ask.
"I'll try!"
Hearing that there was another Anomalous Object, Huang Wei became interested too.
Before you continue
