Chu Jiangyue looked at the three people: "You now have Identity Cards, and there is some money in them. Whether you want to buy food or a temperature control suit, it’s up to you.
After buying what you need, go to Building No. 2 to find people from the B City Base and see when they can escort you there.
However, you are not residents of the Jianglin Hotel, so you can only stay in the hotel for two hours a day. Please keep track of the time.
If you can’t go to the base today, you can figure out a way to sleep within a 10-meter range outside the hotel. There won’t be any zombie attacks."
However, the accommodation conditions are rather poor.
Thinking about the situation within 10 meters outside Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue figured this was also a business opportunity.
It’s just a pity that she hasn’t drawn any prizes like tents yet, otherwise she could sell tents to guests without rooms.
"Thank you, sister! I still have some food. I want to buy that temperature control suit."
Although it’s durable, there are three days. She can wear the temperature control suit to go outside and exchange for more supplies.
Chu Jiangyue glanced at the girl but said nothing about her decision.
She can save people, but she can’t be responsible for their lives afterward. How they live depends on themselves.
The mother and son also chose to buy food.
Their balance wasn’t much, so they could only choose one or the other if they wanted to buy something.
Jin Churan and the six of them weren’t as strapped for cash. They bought several temperature control suits as if they didn’t cost money, and the Space Ability User in the team helped store them.
Seeing another Space Ability User, Chu Jiangyue raised an eyebrow.
It seems she really was ignorant in her previous life. This is the second Space Ability User she’s seen, and she only learned about them a year into the apocalypse. It shows how cut off she was.
"Do you want me to take you to the restaurant?"
For the underage children and mothers with children, Chu Jiangyue is somewhat more favorable.
"No, no, we can go ourselves."
The little girl refused Chu Jiangyue’s offer of companionship.
Sister has already saved them once. They can’t take advantage of their weakness to get more favors from her.
If others found out, they might say the sister was being unfair, which wouldn’t be good for her.
The little girl thought a lot about it, but Chu Jiangyue was unaware of her considerations.
However, she felt a little sympathetic, but not much. Since the girl declined, she agreed without insisting.
"Alright then, add me as a friend. If there’s anything, you can message me."
As long as it’s within her capabilities, she’s willing to offer some help.
Children are the hope, and who knows how long this despairing apocalypse will last.
"Boss Chu, can we add you as a friend too?"
On the way to B City, Jin Chuyu had heard her brother praising Boss Chu more than once. Now that there’s a chance, she doesn’t mind getting to know her better.
"Add her, add her! She’s the protagonist, host, quickly add her!"
Hearing Jin Chuyu wanting to add her, the Little Fox chattered in Chu Jiangyue’s mind.
’Got it, quiet down!’
The Little Fox immediately fell silent.
"Sure."
But Chu Jiangyue only accepted Jin Chuyu’s friend request. Since the others didn’t say anything, Chu Jiangyue didn’t take the initiative to add them.
The two girls added each other as friends and exchanged smiles.
"Let them come with us to the restaurant. We need to check it out too."
Jin Chuyu is a girl and felt some sympathy for the little girl and young mother. She figured she might as well help if she could.
"Thank you, sister!"
"Thank you, Xinxin. Say thank you to the sister,"
"Thank you, sister."
"Let’s go."
However, as they were leaving the office hall, they bumped into Zheng Wen’an and Liu Yiyi, who were coming in from outside.
It seemed like a natural magnetic attraction between male and female leads as Jin Chuyu and Zheng Wen’an made eye contact.
Liu Yiyi now relied heavily on Zheng Wen’an. Seeing him staring at another girl, she shook his arm: "Brother Wen An~ What are you looking at?"
Jin Chuyu: Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Ugh, so pretentious, makes one feel physically uncomfortable.
She immediately shifted her gaze without any reluctance, not looking at Zheng Wen’an again.
But Huo Jun unusually raised his eyes to look at Zheng Wen’an briefly. Without knowing why, he felt something was off about the man and instinctively moved to stand beside Jin Chuyu, blocking the man’s line of sight.
Zheng Wen’an, bothered by Liu Yiyi clinging to him and having his view obstructed, could only retract his gaze.
Seeing these two as the male protagonist and female side character, Chu Jiangyue lost the amiable demeanor she had moments ago, sitting down in the hall and pouring herself a glass of water.
"Hey! We’re all here, why are you still sitting! This isn’t how you serve people!"
Liu Yiyi didn’t like Chu Jiangyue. Relying on the fact that Zheng Wen’an had now awakened his Fire Ability, her tone became more arrogant.
However, she didn’t consider that in the Jianglin Hotel, except for Chu Jiangyue, everyone’s superpowers were prohibited from use.
"Hello, I’m the newly appointed manager of the hotel. If you have any matters, you can come to me."
Chu Jiangyang glanced at Liu Yiyi, and a glimmer flashed in his black-and-white eyes, quickly disappearing.
Chu Jiangyang’s words directly disrupted Liu Yiyi’s attitude, leaving her feeling awkward.
But Zheng Wen’an acted as if he saw nothing and took out a lot of gold and silver jewelry and Zombie Crystal Cores from his backpack to exchange.
"Brother Wen An, why did you exchange everything?" Without leaving her anything!
Liu Yiyi felt uncomfortable. In her view, they had grown up together, and since their parents were not around, Zheng Wen’an, as the elder brother, was supposed to take care of her!
How long had it been, yet he didn’t even exchange a single thing for her?
What about the room expenses and money for daily meals?
Her consumption at Jianglin Hotel was all charged double, and she couldn’t manage it on her own.
"Yiyi, I don’t have much either. These are what I risked my life to earn. You’re an adult now and need to take responsibility for yourself."
Indeed, Zheng Wen’an no longer wanted to be treated as a cash machine by Liu Yiyi. He didn’t want to share any of the things he fought for with anyone.
Moreover, since Liu Yiyi moved into the hotel, she hadn’t ventured out much at all. When out of money, she would come to him.
Zheng Wen’an himself didn’t earn much and didn’t want to support Liu Yiyi, a bottomless pit, anymore.
"Brother Wen An, are you not going to take care of me anymore?"
Liu Yiyi’s eyes began welling up with tears as she looked at Zheng Wen’an, appearing about to cry, a picture of aggrievedness.
Anyone else might have given in, but Liu Yiyi had used this tactic on Zheng Wen’an numerous times. While he might have compromised the first time, by the second or third, by the fourth he was already fed up.
Who would willingly give their belongings away for free unless they were a saint?
Zheng Wen’an did not consider himself a saint, nor could he be so generous.
This scene was completely captivating to Chu Jiangyue. Indeed, the childhood male and female side characters in the novel had an excellent vibe!
"Brother Wen An, if you don’t help me, I really will be kicked out!"
She was staying in an ordinary single room, but her room expenses were billed at twice the usual rate each day.
This was beyond what she could afford.
