Chapter 415: Chapter 189: Plant Affinity_2
Wang Tao’s face immediately broke into a smile. He had gotten the answer he wanted.
The two sneaked back to the mall, and then Wang Tao shared his findings with Xu Xiaojun and Jiang Shixue.
“The woman named Nie Siyan said there were a total of 11 people, all on the 10th floor of Haochen Hotel, which is the top floor. The floors below are full of thugs, and the passage leading upstairs has been blocked by them, so the thugs can’t get up. But I just used Perception, and there was only movement from one person on the top floor, and moreover, this person went downstairs and then back up again…”
Wang Tao explained clearly, even a fool or someone who was single-minded could understand.
“She’s tricking us!”
Xu Xiaojun was somewhat angry.
His first instinct upon hearing the cry for help was to rescue them. He thought that as survivors of the apocalypse, they should help each other out.
But now, he realized that helping each other out might just be his own wishful thinking… He might be single-minded, but he wasn’t stupid. Deliberately deceiving them in this situation could definitely not lead to anything good!
Jiang Shixue didn’t speak and didn’t even show any sign of anger. She didn’t care about the others; she was just looking at Wang Tao, waiting for his instructions.
“These people obviously have bad intentions, so we don’t need to be polite. We also need to find out about the situation here… Wait a bit, I’ll see if there’s a chance to catch her and bring her here!”
Wang Tao picked up the walkie-talkie.
…
Haochen Hotel.
Nie Siyan stared angrily at the bald man.
“Is the check complete?”
The bald man hurriedly said:
“Sister Nie, don’t worry. I’ve checked already, the hotel is very safe! It might just be some zombies outside making noise… Those damn zombies disturbing your sleep, Sister Nie, that’s unforgivable!”
“Get out.”
Nie Siyan waved her hand impatiently.
“Yes!”
The bald man immediately bowed and backed out, gently closing the door behind him.
Nie Siyan got up and looked at the starlight outside the window, feeling irritable.
She hadn’t had any business for several days, and today she finally encountered someone. But they had stopped responding after just a few words. And they didn’t go to the convenience store…
She had already been having trouble sleeping these past few days. Just now, there had been some noise in the hotel, so now she couldn’t sleep at all.
“If you’re not fooled, it’s fine. But if you are, see how I’ll torment you…”
A fierce look flashed across Nie Siyan’s face.
“Crackle… hey, are you still there… crackle…”
Suddenly, the walkie-talkie beside her made a noise.
This startled Nie Siyan, but after hearing the familiar voice inside, her face brightened immediately.
Then she cleared her throat.
“Big brother, when are you coming! The thugs keep threatening us, we can’t hold on much longer! Whimper…”
“Just wait for me, I’m coming to save you right away!”
Wang Tao’s voice sounded heroic and resolute.
“Thank you so much. You are such a good person—” Nie Siyan was about to say some words of gratitude, but she suddenly paused, her tone somewhat strange, “Are you saying, you’re coming over in the middle of the night?”
“Yes! Just wait, I’ll be there in about half an hour, very quickly!”
“Great! Thank you! I need to tell them the good news!”
Nie Siyan quickly grabbed another walkie-talkie.
“Listen up, everyone! The prey is coming! All of you go hide in the convenience store and milk tea shop! Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Many of her underlings were still sleeping. Hearing the news, they were all drowsy.
“Ah? Go now… but it isn’t even light out yet?”
“Sister Nie, are you sure? I’m not doubting you, but…”
“It’s so dangerous at night…”
Hearing her subordinates’ complaints, Nie Siyan’s face darkened.
“Cut the crap and hurry up! If I find out anyone’s slacking off, you know the consequences!”
Chilled by Nie Siyan’s sinister threat, no one dared to resist, and they immediately got to work.
“Sigh, be careful guys, let’s hope we don’t run into a Night Demon…”
After dispatching her subordinates, only Nie Siyan and three others who were on the night shift remained in the hotel.
“Idiots, coming over in the dead of night! But it’s just perfect; such stupid people don’t deserve to live…”
Nie Siyan gritted her teeth.
Since she couldn’t sleep well anyway, she decided not to sleep that night and wait for the good news from her subordinates.
So, half an hour later.
Nie Siyan looked at her two walkie-talkies, somewhat frowning.
The survivor had not contacted her again since half an hour ago, and she couldn’t reach him when she tried.
Her other walkie-talkie was also silent, meaning her underlings hadn’t found anyone…
Nie Siyan, somewhat annoyed, picked up the second walkie-talkie.
“What’s happening over there?”
“Report to Sister Nie, nothing’s happened at the convenience store!”
“Same with the milk tea shop… What are your orders, Sister Nie?”
“Wait!”
Nie Siyan tossed the walkie-talkie onto the sofa.
“Wasn’t it agreed to be half an hour? Why hasn’t he come? Did he chicken out? Or did something happen on the way?”
Nie Siyan cursed Wang Tao in her mind, but she patiently waited. After all, punctual people were rare in the apocalypse.
Then, another half an hour passed.
Just when Nie Siyan thought there would be no show tonight.
The first walkie-talkie suddenly rang again.
“Ms. Nie, are you there?”
“I’m here!”
Nie Siyan immediately responded.
“Sorry, we just realized we went the wrong way… I’ve found a map, and we’re heading towards you now! But there are a lot of zombies on the road, just wait two more hours for me!”
