Chapter 26 - Threesome (2)
There was no one left to take them upstairs. Lu Xingchi picked up the key card and headed towards the elevator.
Bei Nuan glanced at the countdown on the upper right corner of her vision. There was only two minutes left on her reward of double Holy Mother points. It would be a pity to let her reward go to waste like this. She had worked so hard to get it.
"Wait a second. I'll be right back," Bei Nuan explained before running towards the entrance.
After exiting the hotel's revolving door, she saw the heavy traffic outside. Everyone had a solemn expression and were in a rush.
Bei Nuan looked back to check that she had Lu Xingchi's attention. He was watching her from behind the glass. She glanced at the Holy Mother progress bar, summoned her courage, took a deep breath, and shouted, "The zombies are coming! Run away!"
After she finished shouting, the Holy Mother slowly increased by a bit.
The passersby looked at Bei Nuan as if she was crazy. It was extremely embarrassing.
However, thinking that these people would soon become zombies and wouldn't be able to remember this, Bei Nuan didn't feel that embarrassed anymore.
For the sake of Holy Mother points, she would go all out.
"Run away! The zombies will enter the city soon…"
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Xingch grabbed her arm. He dragged her back into the hotel lobby as if she was luggage and threw her onto the sofa.
He crossed his arms. "Bei Nuan, what's the first condition I set?"
"Listen to your orders. Don't make any decisions by myself," Bei Nuan mumbled.
"So you do remember. Did you ask for my permission before going out to yell?" Lu Xingchi's tone was displeased.
"I just went out to say a few words. Do I have to ask your permission for something like that?" Bei Nuan's voice was very quiet.
"If you shout something like that at a time like this, you might be arrested for disturbing public order and creating panic. You have all of our stuff. If you get arrested, I'll have to figure out a way to get you out. Isn't that causing trouble for me?"
"Lu Xingchi, don't be so fierce. You'll scare her." Du Ruo sat down next to Bei Nuan and smiled at her. "I know that you want to save more people, but news of the zombies have already spread a long time ago. The people that want to run have already fled. There are some that people that can't bear to leave. You want them to leave their homes, but where will they run to? Staying in the city and taking shelter in their homes isn't a bad option."
Lu Xingchi looked at Bei Nuan with narrowed eyes. "I'll give you a warning this time. If you do this again, don't even think about continuing to follow us."
Sure enough, the big boss was unhappy. And as she expected, he only said a few words of admonishment despite being unhappy with her behavior. After all, a person with a pocket space that was close to thousands of square meters in size and could keep food fresh was extremely precious.
Lu Xingchi wasn't stupid. He wouldn't drive her away for a light offense. So then, what was his bottom line? Bei Nuan couldn't help being curious.
The presidential suite was spacious and luxurious with three bathrooms. Bei Nuan also took a shower. After coming out, she went to the suite's kitchen to boil water.
"What are you doing?" Du Ruo dried his hair and came over to look.
"While there's still electricity, I'm boiling water to use for later."
By putting the boiling water in the upper layer of her pocket space where time didn't flow, the water would remain boiling when she took it out. This would be fast and convenient.
"Unfortunately, there aren't that many containers available to hold hot water."
"I have an idea," Du Ruo suggested, "Pour the water out. When you're pouring it, put the water into the space. That way you won't need a container."
Bei Nuan rolled her eyes at him. "If I do that, won't the water pour out on me when I take it out?"
Du Ruo teased, "Just be careful."
