Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Chapter 2

"Yes, host. This system always gives preferential treatment to the host and their family. Moreover, if the supplies inside run out, they will be automatically replenished. Please don't worry, host."

Gu Wanyin was ecstatic.

She had been transported to the apocalyptic world, and yet she had such a divine place to live!

She hadn't lived in such a luxurious room even before her transmigration!

"System, you're so good to me!"

The system ignored her compliment and continued in a matter-of-fact tone: "New task unlocked: Recruit one hotel guest. No time limit, no restrictions on the guest's identity. Task reward: Room 202, unlimited bread."

"How do I recruit?"

"The host can wait patiently. Guests will come on their own."

Gu Wanyin thought it made sense.

In this apocalyptic world, if anyone passed by and saw an intact building here, they would definitely want to come in and take a look.

"As for the hotel fees, the host can let guests exchange any items they have for points. Just place the item on the machine at the front desk, and it will automatically convert the item's value into corresponding points. The fee for Room 201 is ten points per day. Currently, the hotel has ten floors, with ten rooms on each floor starting from the second floor. The host will unlock them one by one by completing corresponding tasks. The second floor is all single rooms, allowing only single occupancy. Other floors will have double rooms, family rooms, presidential suites, etc., which will be unlocked successively. Later, if guests need to, they can also change rooms. After the first hotel building is full, new hotel buildings will continue to be unlocked.

Additionally, this place can avoid all natural disasters, zombies, etc. It's an absolutely safe area with permanent internet and electricity. Instant noodles are in the kitchen cabinets, and the water from the kitchen faucet is directly drinkable. The host has absolute dominance in the hotel, and no one can resist you. The host will also be absolutely safe after leaving the hotel. The hotel's protection mechanism will always exist. Please feel at ease managing the hotel, and this system will serve you wholeheartedly."

After the system finished speaking, it temporarily disappeared.

Gu Wanyin was so happy she wanted to jump up and down.

"Sister, whose home is this? Will we have any problems staying here?" Hamburger asked timidly.

Gu Wanyin's conversation with the system in her mind was inaudible to others, so naturally, Cola and Hamburger couldn't hear it either.

"Silly Hamburger, this is our home from now on. We can live here!" Gu Wanyin patted her head.

Cola and Hamburger were surprised to hear this, their eyes widening.

But after all, they were only five or six years old. Their thinking wasn't that complex, so once they digested Gu Wanyin's words, they immediately started running and jumping around the room happily.

However, after just a few steps, they collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

"Sister, I'm hungry..."

As soon as Hamburger said this, Gu Wanyin also felt the hunger in her current body.

She immediately went to the kitchen, first pouring three glasses of water. She, Hamburger, and Cola each drank a glass.

The water flowing from the tap was clean and clear, with a hint of sweetness.

Cola and Hamburger were almost in tears.

Since the apocalypse began, they had rarely drunk clean water.

Gu Wanyin patted their heads and started to cook instant noodles.

There were indeed some instant noodles in the cabinet, with packaging Gu Wanyin had never seen before. There was no brand name, only flavors labeled, such as Sour and Spicy Chicken Shreds, Braised Beef, Chicken Soup, and so on.

Gu Wanyin didn't bother to look closely, just grabbed three packs and put them in the pot to cook.

The aroma of the instant noodles quickly spread, and Cola and Hamburger sniffed hard, swallowing repeatedly.

"Sister, we have food to eat!"

"We won't starve to death!"

Gu Wanyin was also swallowing as she cooked.

Why did these instant noodles smell so good? They were different from the ones she had eaten before!

And there were actually a few pieces of beef inside, although not very big.

After cooking, Gu Wanyin served three large bowls and sat down at the dining table with the two kids to eat.

She blew on it impatiently, then took a bite of the noodles.

Delicious!

The noodles were smooth and chewy, coated with the savory broth, but still maintaining their own flavor.

Taking a sip of the soup, it was sour and spicy, with a lingering aftertaste!

The beef was tender and flavorful. Although the pieces weren't very big, having just one bite was very satisfying!

She enjoyed it for a moment, but then noticed Cola and Hamburger sitting dazed at the table, looking at their two bowls of instant noodles, holding their chopsticks, but not moving.

"What's wrong?" Gu Wanyin asked, puzzled. "Don't you know how to use chopsticks?"

"It's not that..." Cola shook his head, his eyes reddening. "We haven't had decent food for so long. I thought we'd never have hot soup and meals again in this lifetime."

Hamburger had already started sobbing quietly. She was too happy, too excited.

Seeing this, Gu Wanyin felt a pang in her heart.

Although she didn't have the original host's memories yet, the book had mentioned that ordinary people in the apocalyptic world had an extremely difficult time surviving. They could only eat a pack of compressed biscuits or dry bread every two or three days, and chewing on tree bark or eating grass roots was common.

These two kids were still so young... It wasn't easy for them to have survived this past year and more. They must have suffered a lot.

"Eat up," Gu Wanyin comforted them. "From now on, we'll never have to live like that again."

"Mm!"

The two kids wiped away their tears and started eating big mouthfuls.

After finishing, Gu Wanyin put the bowls and chopsticks in the dishwasher in the kitchen, then took the two kids to the bathroom for a bath.

Cola was a boy, and although he was only six years old, he still felt awkward bathing with them.

So after Gu Wanyin bathed with Hamburger, Cola went in to bathe.

Fortunately, Cola had grown up in an orphanage and was more independent compared to other children his age. Gu Wanyin taught him how to adjust the hot and cold water in the bathroom, and he immediately understood.

After bathing, the three of them lay on the big bed and quickly fell into dreamland.

...

Three days later, Gu Wanyin, Cola, and Hamburger welcomed the first guest to the Peace Hotel.

For these three days, they had been eating instant noodles and drinking water.

Cola and Hamburger had struggled for so long in the apocalyptic world that being able to eat instant noodles was already a great enjoyment for them, so they were always very happy.

Gu Wanyin didn't think much of it either, after all, the instant noodles came in different flavors and were particularly delicious.

But this couldn't continue in the long run.

So when the first guest came in, Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief.

The more tasks completed, the more rewards there would be.

She hoped that in the future, there would be rewards like proper meals and dishes.

The first guest was a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.

She was being chased by several zombies and stumbled in.

"Zombies! Zombies are coming!" the girl shouted in panic.

"Guest, please don't be afraid," Gu Wanyin sat at the front desk and smiled at her. "Once you've entered our hotel, you're absolutely safe. Zombies can't come in."

"How is that possible! Your door is made of glass, not iron walls!" the girl yelled angrily. "Hurry up and run!"

Gu Wanyin was very helpless but squeezed out another smile and said, "Guest, if you don't believe me, please turn around and look."

Perhaps it was because of her calm smile, but the girl hesitantly turned to look.

To her surprise, through the glass door, she really saw those zombies stumbling away, as if they couldn't see this building at all!

"What... what's going on?" The girl's eyes were as wide as saucers, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, her body going limp.

"I told you, in our Peace Hotel, you're absolutely safe," Gu Wanyin said with a smile. "So, dear guest, welcome to the Peace Hotel."
