Now that the legal system has completely collapsed, killing one or two people is nothing; as long as the base management doesn’t care, they won’t face any punishment.
From Chu Jiangyue’s understanding of Base Chief Fang Chengwu over the past few days, she knows that unless his own interests are involved, Fang Chengwu would definitely not meddle.
As for their side, if Song Chengjun wanted to meddle, Chu Jiangyue had nothing to say.
The matter was finally resolved, and the convoy started moving again, with Chu Jiangyue’s car still at the forefront.
Chu Jiangyue once again took out a stack of flyers and continued to scatter them outside.
Since some people had already tried to be the bold ones before, nobody foolishly attempted to pick up the flyers now.
On the way back, they encountered many survivors joining the team.
Chu Jiangyue gave a flyer to every new recruit who didn’t already have one.
Joining this team made them potential guests of Jianglin Hotel, and a flyer was something she could afford to give away.
The new recruits were all very surprised to learn their destination was a hotel.
Their surprise peaked when they found out Chu Jiangyue was the owner of the hotel.
However, after seeing that Mr. Shen, Song Chengjun, and others showed Chu Jiangyue greater respect than anyone else, they started to believe it.
Whether it was intentional or not, the zombie horde’s path always seemed to follow closely behind their route. Even at accelerated speeds, within the Little Fox’s scanning range, the zombie horde’s movement route was right behind them.
Chu Jiangyue knew there was definitely a powerful character hidden within the zombie horde, capable of controlling its movement path.
In the previous life, when this almost crushing-level zombie wave happened, Chu Jiangyue was still outside struggling to survive. She wasn’t very clear about where the zombie horde had been.
She only fled with the crowd when the zombie horde almost approached.
Fortunately, she always managed to escape the crisis and eventually went to the B City Safety Base.
To avoid the zombie horde, they canceled getting off the car to train superpowers by chopping zombies, and Chu Jiangyue’s group moved much faster.
Finally, after three days, they saw the brightly lit Jianglin Hotel.
"Fairy Sister, is that where Fairy Sister lives? It’s so beautiful!"
After several upgrades, the entrance of Jianglin Hotel now had the look of a star-rated hotel.
Just by looking at the entrance, you could tell it was definitely not a cheap hotel.
However, the living costs at Jianglin Hotel were much lower than at the base, and the environment was better, which was where Chu Jiangyue’s confidence in competing with the base came from.
"Yes, this is where Sister lives, and you can live here in the future too."
It’s impossible to live in her room, but residential Zone B is doable.
Fang Chengwu also saw Jianglin Hotel and narrowed his eyes at the lights in Jianglin Hotel.
This Jianglin Hotel was more capable than he thought.
And Chu Jiangyue had become even more valuable?
Fang Chengwu’s eyes flickered, as if he thought of something.
Chu Jiangyue’s car was at the forefront and didn’t notice Fang Chengwu’s change in expression. Xie Silin normally drove the car into the Jianglin Hotel entrance.
"Finally back, wearing the temperature control suit outside every day, constantly burning Gold Coins, my balance can barely hold up."
Xie Silin parked the car securely beside Chu Jiangyue’s three-story flat-topped brick house, got out, stretched vigorously, and sighed.
Others also got out one after another, sharing the same sentiment as Xie Silin, though not as obviously expressed.
"Miss Chu."
Fang Chengwu approached Chu Jiangyue and bent slightly to greet her.
"Base Chief Fang, since you’ve just arrived, you can go to the office hall over there to top up and get your Identity Card, then you can become a guest at Jianglin Hotel.
Items for topping up can be Crystal Core or anything you find valuable, but the amount exchanged for items besides Crystal Core will be based on the Exchange Device’s quoted amount.
To stay or shop, you need to process your Identity Card first before you can make purchases."
Chu Jiangyue hadn’t explained the process of obtaining an Identity Card to guests for a long time, so saying it was quite refreshing.
Fang Chengwu initially came over to build a rapport with Chu Jiangyue, but he didn’t expect her to start with how to become a guest at Jianglin Hotel.
She was quite direct.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t notice Fang Chengwu’s subtle intentions, yet Mr. Shen, also a man, understood perfectly, looking at Fang Chengwu with caution and hostility.
However, seeing that Chu Jiangyue didn’t notice Fang Chengwu’s thoughts reassured Mr. Shen quite a bit.
For now, at least, Fang Chengwu was treated as a regular guest by Chu Jiangyue.
Even as the base chief of L City Base, he wouldn’t receive any special treatment.
"Thank you for the guidance, Miss Chu, but it’s my first time here and I don’t know much about the procedures. I wonder if you could accompany me?"
Despite mentally critiquing Chu Jiangyue’s directness, Fang Chengwu still smilingly extended the invitation to her.
This time, a good number of people had come along from the L City Base, so Chu Jiangyue didn’t hesitate too much and agreed.
"Indeed, there are quite a few new guests today, come along with me. Mr. Shen, if you have no errands, you can leave the car here."
"We’ve accumulated quite a few Crystal Cores during our outing this time, planning to top them up into Identity Cards today, so let’s go together."
After speaking, Mr. Shen made to walk beside Chu Jiangyue.
"Right, my space is piled high, taking up too much room. Topping up would free up a lot of space."
Jiang He also cooperated with Mr. Shen and stepped forward.
Chu Jiangyue looked at them quizzically: "Don’t you think topping up could wait a day or two?"
Given the crowd today, they might have to queue at the office hall.
Any how, the amount for topping up Crystal Cores was fixed, charging a few days later wouldn’t reduce it.
"Topping up early brings peace of mind, we’re not afraid of queuing."
Lin Xuyuan also stepped up to chime in.
Although Chu Jiangyue found their actions peculiar, she decided to respect their wishes in the end.
"Alright then. Let’s go together."
Fang Chengwu, though unwilling, didn’t voice an objection given Chu Jiangyue and Mr. Shen had the relationship of old guests and the boss. As a new guest, it wasn’t his place to protest.
On the way to the office hall, however, Fang Chengwu quickly occupied one side of Chu Jiangyue, with Mr. Shen following on the other.
Song Chengjun, Jin Churan, and others watched the eye warfare between Mr. Shen and Fang Chengwu and wisely chose not to join the fray.
Though they had accumulated quite a lot of Zombie Crystal Cores, their accounts still had sufficient balance, so they weren’t in a rush to top up either.
