Zhu Qian and her group had been fleeing and fighting their way here, exhausted to their limits.
They had thought that upon seeing the survivors organization, everyone would enthusiastically come to help them, but reality seemed not to be the case.
Logically, even if people weren't enthusiastic, they should at least be full of sympathy; the indifference they encountered was not what they had expected.
Those with fragile hearts instantly broke down.
"How can you be like this! We've been fleeing all night, and with great difficulty, we found this place. Now we're tired, thirsty, and hungry, and you don't help us, but you even say such things!"
The group immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Not an ounce of sympathy!"
"It's outrageous!"
"With all the chaos outside, this person won't even lift a finger to save us, how malicious!"
"..."
Having sat in the hall all night, already in a bad mood, Cheng Ya broke into a schadenfreude-filled laugh at this scene.
She also whispered, "Some people are just so selfish, it's disgusting!"
Ji Wanwan, displeased, glanced at Cheng Ya, who inexplicably felt a chill down her spine and immediately cowered.
Ji Wanwan's lips curled in a mocking smile as she slowly raised her hand.
Seeing her gesture, Cheng Ya was momentarily stunned.
The next second, Cheng Ya found herself instantly teleported outside the refuge.
Zhang Tao's group was being quite arrogant; she needed to make an example of one to deter the rest from recklessly causing trouble.
Little did she know Cheng Ya would throw herself into the line of fire at this moment.
Then she couldn't blame Ji Wanwan for being unwelcoming!
"Ah!!!"
The moment Cheng Ya landed, zombies closed in from all sides, and she let out a scream of terror that shocked everyone in the hall and made them turn toward the door.
But amazingly, none of the zombies could get close to Cheng Ya, who was surrounded by them, their frenzied roars filling the air.
This space, created by Ji Wanwan, measured only 1 meter by 1 meter, just enough for one person.
Inside the space, Cheng Ya was rolling on the ground, tears streaming down her face, terrified by the zombies.
Realizing the zombies couldn't touch her, Cheng Ya calmed down a bit.
Once calm, she quickly realized that Ji Wanwan was intentionally seeking revenge on her for her previous outburst.
Without time to ponder how Ji Wanwan had done it, the close proximity of the zombies kept her trembling uncontrollably in fear.
She knelt down quickly and began desperately kowtowing toward Ji Wanwan inside the refuge, "I was wrong! I was wrong! I'm sorry! Please let me back in! Sister Wanwan, I'm so sorry! Please let me back in!!"
Ji Wanwan looked on indifferently at Cheng Ya without any sign of retracting her hand.
"Roar!"
A zombie roared and struck violently at the Space Barrier.
With a "crack," a small fissure appeared in the Space Barrier.
Cheng Ya shook even more violently.
Feeling helpless, she curled up tight, crying out loudly.
"Please, spare me! I beg you!!"
"Crack, crack!"
The Space Barrier was nearing its limit under the zombie's battering, but Ji Wanwan still didn't bring Cheng Ya back in.
"Crack! Boom!"
Another heavy blow and the Space Barrier completely shattered.
The zombies swiftly pounced on Cheng Ya on the ground.
"No!!!"
The next second, accompanied by a scream, Cheng Ya was back in the hall of the refuge.
The terrified Cheng Ya sat dumbly on the floor of the hall, a wet patch beneath her.
She had been scared to the point of wetting herself.
People in the hall backed away, keeping their distance from Cheng Ya.
Regaining her wits, Cheng Ya hugged her legs and cried out loud.
Ji Wanwan looked at her indifferently, "This is just a little lesson, Cheng Ya, you'd better not mess with me and Xingxing again, otherwise, I'll let you know what it really means to wish you were dead!"
The intimidating aura made Cheng Ya shiver all over.
She felt as though she was being targeted by a venomous snake, ready to pounce and bite her the next second, leaving her too scared to move or speak.
The rest of the people in the hall were also subdued, and all of a sudden, it became as silent as the grave; no one dared to curse or say another word.
Zhang Tao and the others originally planned to simply take by force what they wanted, but they instantly suppressed that thought.
This Ji Wanwan didn't seem so simple after all; they decided to observe for a while and not act rashly.
The man who was with the group took a more probing look at Ji Wanwan.
Zhou Kai, who was sitting and eating in the hall, witnessed the whole scene and gave Ji Wanwan another careful look.
No wonder this young girl looked so soft and frail, yet there was a fierceness in her eyes.
She had some techniques that others did not possess.
But how did she manage to do what she just did?
Zhou Kai's mind spawned a term—
Superpower!
Realizing this, Zhou Kai's gaze toward Ji Wanwan grew more intense.
Ji Wanwan, feeling his gaze, looked over at Zhou Kai.
Their eyes met, and Zhou Kai, as if nothing had happened, shifted his gaze away and continued eating.
Ji Wanwan looked at the few people in the hall, "Have you all finished speaking?"
Where would anyone dare to make a sound?
Ji Wanwan snorted with a laugh, "Okay, since you've finished, now it's my turn to speak."
Her gaze grew sharp, "Let me ask you, are you exhausted, thirsty, and hungry because of me?"
The group fell silent.
"If not, then do any of you in this crowd have idiots, paralytics, the deaf, the blind, the mute?"
The group's faces contorted, and they started to clench their teeth.
"Since you don't, you can totally use your own money to buy food and drinks or even rent rooms in the refuge; as long as you have money, you can take anything you want from here.
I'm running a business, not your mother; there's no reason for me to help you unconditionally, is there?
These supplies cost me money to obtain. Your money is money, but mine isn't?
With all of you needing food and drink, if I help everyone, how am I supposed to survive?"
A series of rhetorical questions once again silenced the group.
Cheng Ya: "..." What a powerful outburst!
This time, she didn't dare to be boisterous.
Zhu Qian felt disinclined to accept this, muttering softly, "After all that talk, it's just because you're selfish!"
Ji Wanwan lifted an eyebrow, with a mocking smile, "Are you not selfish?
Fine, then I'll tell you—right now, there are 5 single rooms and 1 suite available at the hotel. Out of the nine of you, at least two will be kicked out due to a lack of rooms. Since you're not selfish, go ahead and give your chance to stay to someone else!"
Zhu Qian was slightly taken aback, and her expression suddenly became complex.
A skinny young man in the team quickly got the gist and ran up front, "Boss, I want a single room! I'll book it for a week straight! I'll transfer the money to you now!"
The rooms had increased in price after the upgrade.
Single room: 78 yuan/night
Suite: 128 yuan/night
Ji Wanwan curved her lips, looking down at the computer: "78×7=546, scan for payment."
[Current mission progress 546/5000]
Ji Wanwan took out room card A204 for the young man, smiling lightly, "Second floor, on your left. Please go upstairs! If you have any problems, just ring the bell, and a robot waiter will attend to you at once!"
Holding the thin room card in his hand, the young man was ecstatic, leaving the remaining eight people behind, and joyfully rushed upstairs.
It was only after the young man disappeared up the staircase that the group finally managed to pull their gazes away from their dumbfounded state.
Coming to their senses, everyone had a different expression on their face.
