If you want to enter the hotel in the core area, you need an invitation.
You can get such an invitation; it can be bought with money.
But the price isn’t cheap. It’s a symbol of status, costing ten gold coins.
And you must get it before the party starts, or it’s too late.
Ye Fan’s gold has all been exchanged for System Money, and all his supplies have been seized by the Guard Team, leaving him penniless.
After asking about the ti, there’s only an hour and a half left before the party starts.
Thinking of driving the truck to the trading market to sell it, but the market has already closed.
"Money really makes it difficult for a hero."
Since the apocalypse started, Ye Fan got used to life without money. Currency beca worthless; who would carry money around?
Just arrived here and hasn’t adjusted yet, and doesn’t have the habit of carrying gold with him.
If only he’d kept so as a reserve during the conversion.
Anyway, let’s go over there and take a look.
Leaving the small building, Ye Fan took Zhuge Yunxue and rode a Tiger to the core area.
At the gate, the guard wouldn’t let them in. Ye Fan waited here, thinking whoever cos by, he’ll just stop them to borrow so money.
If he really can’t borrow any, then he’ll have to break in.
A black off-road vehicle approached.
A rmaid SUV.
Ye Fan was stunned for a mont - isn’t this the car of that girl he has a fateful connection with?
Earlier Ye Fan wasn’t quite sure if he was connected to her, but now it seems there is indeed so connection.
He honked the horn and flashed the lights, then got out of the car.
The rmaid SUV also stopped.
Zhao Xiaoman got out of the car.
She wore a black fringed outfit, with ink-black hair and snowy skin. Her obsidian-like eyes looked at Ye Fan, without speaking first, clearly waiting for Ye Fan to speak.
"Miss Zhao, here’s the thing, I need to go to the hotel in the core area, but I don’t have an invitation. Can you help ?" Since they are connected, Ye Fan didn’t hold back and spoke directly.
"Are you going to negotiate with the Jiang Army?"
Zhao Xiaoman’s voice was very magnetic. To Ye Fan, even the celebrity Xu Weiwei, who was being held at the Dawn Army Base, was inferior to Zhao Xiaoman in every aspect.
"Yes, so things happened today, and one of my subordinates was detained by the Guard Team."
Zhao Xiaoman looked at Ye Fan: "If you can, I advise you not to look for him because the negotiation result may be worse."
"No matter how bad it is, it must be negotiated, otherwise, if force is used directly, people might think I’m a savage."
Zhao Xiaoman chuckled, dimples appearing, charming her way into the conversation.
Ye Fan also smiled, and the smile between them reduced their unfamiliarity a lot.
"Comndable courage, then follow in."
"Just following you is enough?"
"Yes, I can’t guarantee much, but if I can take you in, I can get you out safely."
Ye Fan laughed, though he didn’t really need Zhao Xiaoman’s protection, eting soone who could say such things was quite rare.
"Thanks a lot then."
"It’s nothing, even though you took care of Mad Horse’s people, I feel you’re not soone who’s lost their conscience. Once this matter is settled, leave this place; it’s a human-eating place. If possible, it’s better to stay outside fighting zombies."
When Zhao Xiaoman said these words, she clearly felt them deeply. After speaking, she called Ye Fan and Zhuge Yunxue to get in the car and drove straight into the core area.
The car arrived at the front of the Heavy Truck Corps’ hotel.
After getting out, Ye Fan and Zhao Xiaoman walked into the hotel without anyone stopping them.
"I have sothing to do. You wander around first. If there’s anything, just say I’m the one who brought you."
After Zhao Xiaoman finished speaking, she left. Ye Fan didn’t want to argue in front of her; getting in was all that mattered.
His original intention was to stabilize here for a while and earn so money, but now it seems a bit difficult.
Looks like so things need to be prepared in advance; after tonight, things around here might change.
Inside the hotel, the lights and wines were abundant; attendees were dressed in suits and bow ties, so won even wearing evening gowns.
If it weren’t for the outside world still being overrun by zombies, this place gives the feeling of a flourishing world.
Many people, no matter the circumstances, aren’t willing to give up their stature.
Ye Fan didn’t see any of the Half Sky Cloud people; it seems it’s a bit early, and they haven’t arrived yet.
He saw the party had plenty to eat, even so seafood.
Getting seafood at this ti is really hard because there are Sea Monsters in the sea; although they aren’t yet able to co ashore on a large scale, most people dare not approach the coast.
According to Ye Fan’s understanding, the seafood here is very expensive.
It’s been a long ti since Ye Fan had seafood; transportation has halted, and the north doesn’t border the sea, the only seafood at ho is quite large - as long as it doesn’t eat people, no one can eat it.
"Xiaoxue, co, eat."
Ye Fan didn’t stand on ceremony, directly taking so seafood and red wine to eat with Zhuge Yunxue.
The officers didn’t care, and Zhuge Yunxue didn’t care either, accompanying Ye Fan to eat and drink.
So people looked at Ye Fan with a sidelong glance, their eyes seed to view him as a hillbilly.
Ye Fan also ignored their gazes. He wasn’t really in the sa circle as these people, so who cares how they see him.
At this mont, another person sat next to Ye Fan.
When he ca over, he brought a shadow, a large figure.
Ye Fan looked up and was slightly surprised.
What a strong person!
Even though Zhao Xiaoman felt quite strong to him, stronger than a typical Level 2, this person seed to be slightly above Zhao Xiaoman.
Taller than two ters, his muscles were as solid as stones. Even though it wasn’t warm, he wore a tight black vest.
A Desert Eagle was tucked at his waist, he was a square-faced giant.
"Haha! I used to co here and feast alone, but now there’s another one. Little brother, do you mind if I join you for a bite?"
"Certainly, I don’t mind. Please have a seat."
The giant sat beside Ye Fan, first extending his hand to shake Ye Fan’s.
"Let introduce myself, I’m Lawson, but you must call Giant Stone Lawson when you call my na because I like this mighty nickna."
Ye Fan had heard of his na, the first among the Adventurer Squad of the Heavy Truck Corps.
It was said that this person not only had natural strength but also had hardened skin, impervious to weapons, which now seed to be true.
"I’m Ye Fan, Ye for ten pounds of leaves, and Fan for the extraordinary."
Lawson paused for a mont before understanding what Ye Fan ant, then burst into laughter: "The character Ye can be interpreted like this, learned sothing new. Co on, let’s eat heartily. Once full, you’ll have the energy for negotiation."
Obviously, Lawson was aware of Ye Fan’s situation with the Jiang Army, but there was no teasing in his words.
Ye Fan smiled and continued eating in silence.
After a while, Zhuge Yunxue finished eating and watched from the side. The two n showed no intention of stopping.
Eating whatever was delicious, drinking whatever was enjoyable.
Like a storm, the two consud almost half of the food prepared for the feast before stopping.
Lawson contentedly patted his belly, watching Ye Fan swallow an entire goose leg, and couldn’t help but extend his thumb in admiration.
"Impressive, it’s my first ti seeing such a lively guy out-eat ."
"Just like you said, how could one negotiate without being full? If a fight starts and we lack the energy to win, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?"
Lawson curiously looked at Ye Fan: "You don’t seem worried at all. Jiang Army isn’t a good bird. Those who provoke him don’t die, but at least shed a layer of skin."
Ye Fan wiped the corner of his mouth: "Those who provoke , only snakes shed their skin."
Lawson burst into laughter again: "Well said, originally I wasn’t interested in your matter, but now I’m sowhat intrigued. Looking forward to seeing the result of your negotiation."
Speaking of which, Lawson suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Brother, let tell you a secret. Jiang Army has a great relationship with the head of the Guard Team. If you don’t agree to his exploitation, he might make an unfavorable judgnt against you."
Ye Fan nodded slightly.
This news awakened Ye Fan, who didn’t have a fully ford plan for the next steps, but now it’s almost there.
After so more small talk with Lawson, a waiter approached Ye Fan.
"Are you Mr. Ye Fan?"
"Yes, I am."
"Mr. Jiang Army is waiting for you in room 207 on the second floor, please go over."
"Okay, I’ll go now."
Rising to bid farewell to Lawson, as he stood, Zhao Xiaoman glanced over from afar.
Following the waiter, Ye Fan ascended to the second floor and arrived at room 207.
The waiter knocked on the door, and soone inside responded.
Pushing open the door so Ye Fan could enter, the waiter closed it and left.
Upon entering the room, Ye Fan saw the people inside.
A man with a face full of flesh sat on the sofa, scrutinizing Ye Fan with a hostile gaze.
Beside the man, another person wearing the Guard Team uniform sat.
Behind them, seven or eight n stood, each in a black suit with their hands behind their backs, all appeared very fierce, surprisingly all were Evolvers.
The room had a large double bed and two seats on the sofa. The General and the Guard Team officer were seated, leaving no seat for Ye Fan, clearly intending to give Ye Fan a discouraging welco.
Jiang Army didn’t speak, silently exerting pressure on Ye Fan.
Ye Fan certainly wouldn’t negotiate standing up.
Without a seat, he had other ans.
He went directly to the large double bed, removed his shoes, and sat on it, then adjusted his position leaning against the headboard.
Zhuge Yunxue considerately ca over and pulled up the quilt to cover Ye Fan.
Then she obediently leaned against Ye Fan, sitting on the bed, snuggling up to him.
This was cooperating with the officer, Xiaoxue was very sensible.
Ye Fan, with a beauty by his side, half-leaning against the headboard, lit a cigarette, took a deep inhale, exhaled a smoke ring, and then turned to face Jiang Army and his two companions.
"Did you call for sothing?"
