Chapter 59 Carnival
Just as Wang Xiao was about to crush the little thing, a system notification suddenly popped up.
[The "Abyssal Plants" team has expressed an extremely strong interest in joining you and has sent you a special onboarding introduction.]
what?
Job introduction.
As the side effects gradually subsided, Wang Xiao became much more sober.
But looking at the system's prompts, Wang Xiao seriously doubted whether he was hallucinating.
[Do you want to view the special onboarding introduction for "Abyssal Plants"?]
After casually swatting a zombie that was disturbing his work, Wang Xiao chose to check it out.
Thorn Knight
[Race: Abyssal Plant]
[Level: lv2.]
[Current Status: Severely Injured (Can recover slowly through eating).]
[Abilities: Mimicry, Devouring Evolution.]
[Special Ability: Can produce a type of blood-red rose that is edible and has certain special effects every so often.]
[Self-introduction: A weak abyssal plant that burrowed into this world through a rift, possessing extremely low intelligence, with a fondness for all kinds of flesh and blood, not picky about food, currently experiencing extreme fear of a certain human male, yearning to survive, and willing to willingly acknowledge him as its master.]
Looking at this unique self-introduction, Wang Xiao's worldview was once again reshaped.
Good grief, it's one thing for mutated zombies to run away, but now even these plants from the abyss have learned to surrender, huh?
What's going on? Even invasive species have learned to adapt to local customs?
After a moment's thought, Wang Xiao decided to accept the item.
There are two reasons. The first is that although this guy's combat power is currently damaged, his strength is still quite good. Without Yue Man's ability, it would be really difficult to deal with him.
More importantly, this guy isn't picky about food and seems quite easy to raise; he should be fine as a guard dog in the future.
Besides, there are so many zombies in this world, Wang Xiao really doesn't believe that such a small guy could wipe out all the zombies.
Another reason was that Wang Xiao was curious about this guy's special abilities.
If it can produce edible products with certain special effects, then it proves that this thing can generate value for the hotel.
The fragrance of the flowers could even temporarily suppress the side effects of leveling up and adding points, which alone was enough for Wang Xiao to take note of.
As Wang Xiao decided to accept the little gadget, the system sent another notification.
While other hotels were still hesitant about expanding into deeper areas of business, you, in order to create the perfect hotel, and considering the singular nature of your hotel service goals, chose to first trust and then question.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully recruiting an outstanding employee from the 'Abyss' with special abilities, opening up new avenues for diversifying the hotel's services.]
You have received 150 hotel support points and 1 chance to draw from the lower-level prize pool.
As the system notification appeared, Wang Xiao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm.
Upon noticing the anomaly, Wang Xiao immediately opened his palm. He saw that the timid little thing was extending a vine thinner than his little finger, and gently piercing Wang Xiao's palm with its sharp thorns, carefully absorbing the blood flowing from Wang Xiao.
After sucking for a full 30 seconds, the little thing retracted its vines and then wrapped itself completely around Wang Xiao's arm.
Your employee, "Thorn Knight," has successfully recorded your presence and has pledged allegiance to you.
[Tip: As the owner of the 'Thorn Knight,' you can give it a new name.]
After briefly examining the small object in front of him, Wang Xiao didn't rush to study it. Instead, he looked up at the horde of zombies still besieging the hotel in the distance.
Thanks to Qin Huai'an and his team's efforts, the number of zombies besieging the hotel is now decreasing rapidly.
Wang Xiao grinned and said softly, "Next, it's your turn."
After picking up a machete from a fallen soldier, Wang Xiao charged directly into the remaining horde of corpses.
After reaching level 5, Wang Xiao's current strength means that ordinary zombies pose absolutely no threat to him.
The few remaining mutated zombies only caused Wang Xiao to pause his movements slightly.
On the other side of the hotel, after the Thorn Knight disappeared, the atmosphere of despair gradually turned into excitement.
Some people were afraid of Wang Xiao's strength, some admired him greatly, and others made no secret of their worship of him.
Among the worshippers, the most prominent was Wei Yan, who had been following Wang Xiao ever since the disaster broke out.
Wei Yan excitedly shook Lu Ran beside him: "I told you Big Brother could do it! How about that! I wasn't wrong!"
Lu Ran, feeling dizzy from being shaken by Wei Yan, quickly reached out and pressed him down: "Brother Wei, stop shaking me, or I'll really throw up."
Wei Yan was so excited that he stammered, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I...I...I'm just too excited!"
Lu Ran shook his head, looking enviously at Wang Xiao, who remained calm despite being surrounded by zombies, and sighed, "When will I have the boss's strength?"
……
In an instant, the opinions and attitudes of everyone involved in the battle toward Wang Xiao and the Peace Hotel underwent a very significant change.
What started as a chorus of doubts has now transformed into a special kind of longing.
This unassuming hotel seems to truly offer them a safe haven in this apocalyptic world.
Those who had planned to join the hotel from the beginning were now even more certain of their choice.
After dealing with one of the zombies, Qin Huai'an looked at Wang Xiao's back with a complicated expression.
From a partner's perspective, he naturally hopes that the Peace Hotel will be as strong as possible.
From a personal perspective, however, he may never have the chance to recruit Wang Xiao into his ranks.
Qin Huai'an took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the blood off his hands, and said to Secretary Huang beside him:
"Organize those who are still mobile to cooperate with Boss Wang in the final cleanup operation. Also, notify the logistics team at the hotel to prepare to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield."
"Yes."
With Wang Xiao joining the fight, the survivors, whose morale soared, began to spontaneously and systematically clear out the remaining horde of zombies.
in the afternoon.
By three o'clock, there wasn't a single zombie still able to move around the entire Peace Hotel area.
Wang Xiao walked back to the hotel under the excited gazes of everyone.
No one spoke; everyone watched Wang Xiao in silence.
Wang Xiao's gaze swept over the crowd, but he couldn't utter a word...
After a long silence, Wang Xiao slowly said, "To be honest, I don't really know what to say."
"After all, today's victory doesn't belong to me alone, nor just to the Peace Hotel, but to each and every one of us who, even in dire straits, refused to give up hope!"
"I don't know what the future holds, but at least today, we did it!!!"
After saying that, Wang Xiao suddenly raised his arm high, and the previously calm crowd instantly erupted into cheers.
"Wuhu!!"
"Boss Wang is awesome!"
"Long live the Peace Hotel!"
"We really did it!"
"We wiped out the zombie horde!!!"
……
In an instant, some wept with joy, while others covered their faces and wept bitterly...
Only those who participated in this battle could understand the despair of facing a horde of zombies and how hard-won this victory was.
For this victory, many people whom Wang Xiao never knew closed their eyes forever.
Looking at the excited crowd, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "In addition, to celebrate the successful opening of the hotel and this hard-won victory..."
All your expenses at the Peace Hotel today and tomorrow will be covered by the Peace Hotel!
In addition, all subsequent points will be calculated and registered by a specialist.
In addition, all participants in this event will be considered premium customers by our hotel and will be offered certain discounts.
Finally, let's all revel in this grand celebration of our victory!
As Wang Xiao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hotel reached another climax!
The cruelty of the apocalypse briefly disappeared from the minds of everyone present, replaced only by cheers!
However, just as everyone was excitedly celebrating the victory, a survivor was squatting in front of a dilapidated tricycle at the back door of the hotel, lost in thought.
"Strange, why is my tricycle here? Is the guy who stole it still at the hotel?!"
