The old man looked at Chu Jiangyue as if he were looking at an idiot, wondering if this person had some sort of hysteria to be able to fantasize like this.
"If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you."
As she spoke, Chu Jiangyue took out a flyer: "This is a special flyer produced by my hotel, intended to ensure that those who want to go to the hotel can arrive safely.
Its main function is to shield against zombies to a certain extent, ignore the impact of extreme heat and cold on the human body, with a coverage area of 1 meter around the flyer and a duration of 7 days.
Everyone can only use one, and the method is to tear off the top left corner along the dotted line.
The flyers are distributed free of charge, and you can give it a try.
However, once used, the countdown for its duration begins and cannot be interrupted."
Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Jiangyue introduce the flyer so confidently, the old man began to waver.
"Are you sure?"
If it’s really as she says, then the existence of this hotel should be real.
Otherwise, the old man couldn’t figure out what Chu Jiangyue was after them for.
Although it’s safe in the bunker, it’s very cold and damp; many children were falling ill from the extended stay underground.
Rong Zhaowen often went out alone for reasons related to this as well.
Because he couldn’t bear to see the children suffer, he wanted to go out to find some medicine.
But he didn’t expect that shortly after leaving, he collapsed in the snow due to cold.
If it hadn’t been for coincidentally meeting Chu Jiangyue, he would most likely not have survived this time.
"You can try it out, the flyers are free, no charge."
Seeing their expressions, it was clear they were not well-off either. If she were to charge them, so many people would need it, and Chu Jiangyue wasn’t sure if she could actually collect the money.
It would be better not to charge from the beginning, so she wouldn’t have to worry later about these people owing her money.
Remembering things is quite brain-consuming; unless absolutely necessary, Chu Jiangyue didn’t want to trouble her mind.
The person Rong Zhaowen called Uncle Jiang took a flyer from Chu Jiangyue’s hand, and skeptically tore along the dotted line at the top left corner.
As soon as the flyer was torn, the old man felt his entire body become comfortable, but because he was wearing too many clothes, he felt burdened once the temperature was right.
"So, do you now think what I said is true or false?"
Seeing Uncle Jiang’s reaction, Chu Jiangyue knew he had believed her words.
After all, if she were a liar, her lie would have been exposed the moment he tore open the flyer.
"There are many old, weak, women, and children in the bunker. Although extreme cold and zombies are no longer an issue, with such heavy snowfall outside, it is not easy for them to travel a long distance to leave here."
"How many people are there? I can take some people first, and once they’re guests at the hotel and get a car, they can come back to pick up more people.
With multiple trips, we can eventually get everyone out. But for selecting people, you need to be mindful to avoid those who ignore you once they get to the hotel."
This scenario certainly might happen.
Sure enough, after Chu Jiangyue finished speaking, Elder Jiang and Rong Zhaowen fell into deep thought.
"Elder Jiang, I think we should start by selecting young and strong individuals with wives and children at home. First, they’re more suited to navigate unforeseen situations as scouts.
Secondly, they have family attachments and won’t ignore us once they reach their destination."
After thinking for a long time, Rong Zhaowen came up with a relatively reliable plan.
After listening to Rong Zhaowen, Elder Jiang and Chu Jiangyue, along with six others, found his suggestion to be very good.
"We have 6 people, excluding the driver, the car cannot be overloaded, and each car can seat 6 people, meaning you can choose 36 people for the first trip."
Unanticipatedly bringing people back to Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue suddenly regretted letting Fang Chengwu leave earlier.
As expected, human plans cannot keep up with heaven’s plans, and today she learned a lesson.
"Alright, I understand. Do you want to come down to take a look? I’ll choose the candidates as soon as possible."
At this moment, he’d already roughly picked people in his mind, but the specific implementation would depend on consulting the others once they went back down.
"We won’t be going down again. Here are 36 flyers; you can use them for those who stay here."
With a flip of her hand, a stack of flyers appeared in Chu Jiangyue’s hand.
Seeing the flyers in her hand, both Uncle Jiang and Rong Zhaowen expressed delight.
Although it felt like taking advantage of Chu Jiangyue, the current situation indeed didn’t allow them to consider much more.
"Thank you! I’ll make sure to choose people quickly and not waste time."
Uncle Jiang carefully held the flyers in his arms and then called out to Rong Zhaowen to look for people.
After the two of them went down to the bunker, Chu Jiangyue and her team weren’t too rushed; they quickly set up a tent and all went inside, Jiang He took out a table and stools, and the six gathered around the table.
Jiang He’s hand brushed over the tabletop, and quite a few items appeared on it.
The most conspicuous being the tea set and a can of tea beside it.
"Add water, heat."
Jiang He looked at Su Zhucheng and Lin Xuyuan.
Su Zhucheng and Lin Xuyuan exchanged a glance, with countless curses in their hearts, but eventually, they still did what they were told.
Drinking the first sip of hot tea after the apocalypse, everyone involuntarily relaxed both body and mind.
Xie Silin quietly sat in his place, saying nothing while playing a minor role.
Both Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui remained very calm, without much emotional fluctuation.
After Uncle Jiang and Rong Zhaowen entered the bunker, it took about 30 minutes for them to bring the people up.
"Boss Chu, we’re here!"
Rong Zhaowen’s voice came up before he himself emerged.
Chu Jiangyue paused her tea-sipping, came out from the tent, and saw people emerging from the bunker in dribs and drabs.
Almost all were young and strong individuals, though there were one or two females among them, both looking quite competent.
With a rough count, including Rong Zhaowen, it indeed totaled 36 people.
"Is that Uncle Jiang not coming with you? His flyer will expire in 7 days."
With so many people, back and forth, Chu Jiangyue couldn’t guarantee Uncle Jiang could hold on until Rong Zhaowen’s return.
"The temperature in the bunker is very low as well, Uncle Jiang said he’d stay below to provide a relatively comfortable environment for the feverish and sick children utilizing the flyer."
Hearing Rong Zhaowen’s words, Chu Jiangyue realized she had overlooked this.
"I’ll give you 10 more flyers; you can take them down for others to use temporarily."
Anyway, now that Little Fox made flyers effortlessly, as long as she actively completed tasks to upgrade the hotel, enlisting Little Fox’s help was not a stretch.
Seeing the brand new flyers in Chu Jiangyue’s hand, Rong Zhaowen took them excitedly, bowing repeatedly to thank Chu Jiangyue.
"Thank you so much, I...I... I will definitely repay you in the future!"
"No need, no need; the flyers are originally to be distributed for my hotel’s promotion. Since they’re going to live at my hotel eventually, it’s proper for them to use the flyers.
If you really want to repay me, just help promote my hotel when you’re out and about in the future."
