Chapter 50 Opening Specials
Back at the hotel, Wang Xiao didn't rest, but instead went to find Qin Huai'an, who had taken the opportunity to leave earlier.
Seeing Wang Xiao approaching, Qin Huai'an took the initiative to ask, "How is it? What's the situation?"
After Wang Xiao lifted the cloth covering the gecko zombie, he said, "Look, isn't this one of the ones you saw?"
Looking at the half-exposed tongue, Qin Huai'an was speechless for a moment.
How could he not recognize that this was one of the three mutated zombies?
After a long while, Qin Huai'an, realizing what was happening, said with a complicated expression, "Boss Wang, I must say, you really bring me a different 'surprise' every day!"
He had fought those three mutated zombies before, but each one was difficult to deal with.
The most troublesome of them all was the gecko zombie that Wang Xiao brought back.
If it weren't for the gecko zombie that retained some intelligence interfering, he wouldn't have been unable to deal with the other two mutated zombies.
Judging from Wang Xiao's tone of voice, Qin Huai'an could easily deduce that this extremely troublesome fellow had not actually caused Wang Xiao much trouble.
Wang Xiao replied, "Of course I didn't solve this thing by myself. The other two were dealt with by the guy who was with me. If it weren't for his help, it would have been really difficult to deal with these three guys."
Qin Huai'an asked in shock, "You dealt with those three mutated zombies? Was that zombie horde...?"
As Wang Xiao took the water glass from Feng Wan, he said, "President Qin thinks too highly of us. I used some tricks to lure these three guys out and deal with them."
As for the zombie horde, when I arrived, its numbers had more than doubled.
That scale cannot be solved by simply adding one or two more ability users.
Even without mutated zombies leading the way, I estimate the horde will reach this place by tomorrow night at the latest.
After learning from Wang Xiao that the three mutated zombies had been dealt with and confirming that the person next to Wang Xiao was also an ability user, Qin Huai'an couldn't help but feel glad that he hadn't directly intervened and clashed with the hotel.
Otherwise, if Wang Xiao had been accompanied by another ability user, he wouldn't have had any chance of winning.
No wonder this guy wasn't worried at all about him taking over the hotel; it seems he was prepared all along. But the fact that he came to see him at this time probably means he has other plans.
Pulling himself back to reality, Qin Huai'an frowned and said, "Boss Wang, you're telling me this now because you don't want me to join you in fighting the zombie horde, do you?"
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "No wonder everyone says dealing with smart people is easy. Mr. Qin, what are your thoughts?"
Qin Huai'an neither accepted nor refused outright, but instead asked, "How confident are you?"
Wang Xiao said, "Seventy or eighty percent."
Qin Huai'an continued, "The reason."
Wang Xiao slowly turned around and looked at the other survivors blocking the door: "Aren't they the reason?"
Mr. Qin, as you can see, my hotel is only this big. Even if I opened every room, it still wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
Moreover, I don't intend to take them in for free, nor do I intend to expand my manpower immediately. And once the zombie horde attacks, how many of them do you think will survive?
They are potential troubles for me, but they are different for you, Mr. Qin.
"So many people, most of whom are complete strangers. If you, Mr. Qin, can take them down, wouldn't that perfectly make up for your manpower losses this time?"
Qin Huai'an said somewhat helplessly, "So, you're sure I'll help you, right?"
Wang Xiao said, "If you hadn't been so protective of my hotel's rules just now, Mr. Qin, I wouldn't have been very confident."
Qin Huai'an gave Wang Xiao a deep look and slowly said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Wang Xiao said, "It's very simple. They want to stay at the hotel, right? Then our hotel will issue the commission, and you, President Qin, will organize the manpower to participate."
If the plan goes smoothly, the final result of this interception will be that I gain a group of wealthy clients, and Mr. Qin, you gain a group of capable and skilled individuals.
Qin Huai'an continued, "But how can you ensure the circulation and stability of your hotel's points? I know that your current resources are insufficient to support your hotel operating at full capacity for too long."
Wang Xiao laughed and said, "Isn't this the time to demonstrate the value of our cooperation?"
Qin Huai'an stared at Wang Xiao for a long while, then said calmly, "Boss Wang, shouldn't I be glad that we're not enemies, but partners?"
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "President Qin, believe me, you won't lose out in this deal. You have the manpower, I have the platform. You expand your influence, I'll develop my hotels. Jin City is so big, isn't that enough for you to do your thing, President Qin?"
Qin Huai'an remained silent for a moment, then finally extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Wang Xiao grasped his hand: "It's been a pleasure working with you. Now, we need to hurry. According to my and another person's predictions, the zombie horde will arrive by tomorrow night at the latest. We don't have much time left."
After careful discussion, the plan was quickly finalized.
Before long, Qin Huai'an's men began to leak the news of the impending zombie horde, as planned.
When news of the zombie horde spread among the survivors, the already anxious crowd became even more uneasy.
Most of them came here with a glimmer of hope after receiving a message from the hotel.
At first, they thought they had found an organization, but they never expected that the hotel owner would actually plan to operate in this apocalyptic world.
Faced with that expensive number of points for staying at the hotel, most of them were caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, Qin Huai'an's men acted again.
They began to spread the word among the crowd that only by staying in the hotel could they survive the crisis.
If it weren't for the scene of the burly man causing trouble, they might not have believed it, or even left. But the key point is that Wang Xiao not only dealt with the burly man who caused the trouble, but also demonstrated absolute strength, which undoubtedly gave the hotel the best publicity.
Now that they have received news of the approaching zombie horde, and with Qin Huai'an's men instigating things, they feel that perhaps only by staying here can they have a sliver of hope for survival.
However, the exorbitant cost meant they were unable to enter the hotel.
For a moment, some people looked desperate, some began to curse in low voices, and some had shifty eyes, as if they were plotting something.
Wang Xiao stood at the window on the third floor of the hotel, looking down at the gradually stirring crowd below, his expression calm.
Just then, Wei Yan pushed open the door and entered, saying, "Boss, President Qin has already released the information. Do you think we can proceed with the next step of the plan?"
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Xiao said, "Go."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Yes."
Soon, Wei Yan announced a new message to the public.
Wei Yan was seen holding a megaphone and shouting loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, to celebrate the upcoming opening of our Peace Hotel, we have decided to launch a limited-time flash sale on our rooms tomorrow, along with many other perks."
