Capítulo 1258: Chapter 41: Anyway, It’s Impossible to Explain Clearly Now
Of course, this isn’t sothing worth bragging about.
You have to be capable enough to stand on your own, to completely solve the problem of being manipulated like a pawn.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the entrance of the hilltop hotel.
The lobby was in complete disarray.
A whole row of corpses covered with white cloth was placed at the entrance, clearly victims of a sudden illness, yet to be taken away.
As for why they couldn’t be moved… a glance at the surroundings tells you, there are even more bodies next to them.
It’s practically a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, like a biohazard outbreak.
No matter what, an event like this ans the hotel can’t continue to operate.
I don’t know who would have the nerve to check-in now.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, the atmosphere changed dramatically.
So sort of magic barrier had been set up here, isolating the inside from the outside.
The scene outside was already unbearable to look at, but the inside was even worse.
Countless fleshy growths clung to the once lavishly decorated walls, the air filled with the sll of decay.
The condescending receptionist looked like suffering Jesus, nailed by the hands and feet to the wall, his neck half bitten, head tilted to one side, his expression one of utter despair, seemingly having suffered unimaginable tornt in life.
From above ca a rustling sound, sothing in the shadows watching with ill intent.
Xiao Die nervously clutched Li Mumu’s sleeve.
“What are you afraid of?”
Li Mumu was sowhat speechless, “You’re stranger than them; they should be the ones afraid.”
After all, this was the legendary red zombie hybrid, a well-known entity in the Eastern evil spirit circles.
It just looked very cute, easily giving the impression of soone harmless.
Zhuang Xiaodie hadn’t adjusted her mindset, clearly still an innocent girl, who would scream at the sight of a Guangdong Province cockroach, let alone Xiangjiang vampires.
“Senior Sister, above us…”
A chilly wind swept past from above; Xiaodie instinctively shrank back and closed her eyes, only to hear a piercing scream.
Opening her eyes, she saw an octagonal palace lamp floating above her head, its sharp blades instantly slicing the pouncing creature in half.
“Really… mindless.”
Li Mumu looked at the approaching not-quite-humans or ghosts, and couldn’t help but sigh.
This is what cannon fodder looks like.
Heads on their necks just to raise their height.
These guys didn’t consider the strength of the enemy, rushing at any human they saw to bite.
The octagonal palace lamp circled around Li Mumu, leaving a trail of flesh and blood in its wake.
Confronted with these blood-soaked facts, they finally realized the girl in front of them was not to be trifled with and turned to flee.
So, feeling it unbearable to swallow their pride, stopped halfway, turned around, and bared their sharp teeth at Li Mumu like wild dogs in a threatening stance.
Only a strong person’s threat counts as a threat; a weak person’s threat is just hot air.
Li Mumu flicked her wrist, and the octagonal palace lamp flew at its face, slicing its entire head off with a swoosh.
“Ah–!”
Xiaodie scread and hid behind Li Mumu.
Too terrifying, the Senior Sister’s action was so bloody, scarier than the Wokou Pirates.
If Li Mumu could hear her thoughts, she’d surely flick her on the forehead.
The whole hilltop hotel was shrouded in a barrier; who knew if there were any people alive inside.
Li Mumu wandered around but found no signs of life, not even knowing where Brother Yin had gone.
Everything was as quiet as a tomb.
……
“You don’t need to be scared; there’s little they can actually do.”
Yin Nan clutched the talisman paper, frowning deeply.
He dared to say this because he had confidence.
But unfortunately, others didn’t quite believe it.
The hilltop hotel usually had many guests, mostly well-off ones.
Though visitors from afar weren’t that many these days, most guests were long-term residents—officials stationed in Xiangjiang, local literati, wealthy rchants, retired officials…
Buying a villa outside ans hiring servants, paying taxes, going through procedures, whereas staying at a hotel is more convenient and worry-free.
At the onset of the epidemic, many fled the hotel, but so guests chose to stay.
Was the outside really safer than the hotel? Not necessarily.
The most crucial aspect of an epidemic is the hygiene issue; solve that, and most epidemics can be controlled.
Now in the peak period of the epidemic, could you find a hotel more hygienic than this one if you went out?
During such tis, many guests, especially those with level heads, retained trust in the hilltop hotel, thinking it was an isolated incident, one that could be promptly handled.
The guests here were of wealth and status, able to mobilize nearly all of Xiangjiang’s top resources. If even such an epidemic couldn’t be controlled here, no place would be safe.
If it had only been an epidemic, it wouldn’t be an issue.
But nobody expected that before the epidemic could be resolved, the vampires would start infighting.
By the ti Yang Chan and Yin Nan arrived at the hotel, it had already beco a bloody slaughterhouse. Two groups of vampires clashed inside, hurling black magic recklessly after things heated up, pulling many innocent guests into the fray.
Both sides claid the other was the real culprit behind the incident.
At that mont, Yang Chan’s sister, Yang Xu, was hiding in the dining room with classmates and a batch of guests, avoiding the crossfire.
