Chapter 214: Business Is Booming
After the movie was over, Xia Yan got up and wrapped the unfinished food in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, ready to eat it when she was hungry later.
She turned on the vacuum cleaner and let it work, put the dirty clothes into the washing machine to wash, and then replaced the bedding with a new set. Xia Yan was free again.
She walked around naked on the beach outside, planning to ask Xiongxiong to play with her when the sun was not so strong.
Back to the lobby, Xiongxiong was not there. Some customers were chatting in the lounge area, and some were playing poker. It was peaceful.
Xia Yan walked over and knocked on Xiongxiong's room door. After three seconds, there was still no movement, so she was sure that it was not here.
Maybe it went outside.
She walked through the lobby and went out. There were also many people gathered in the safe zone. Everyone sat on the ground and talked and laughed, and they remained calm in the face of the hordes of zombies outside.
The young man stood in front of the protective shield and took advantage of the zombies turning their backs to attack.
The breath of living creatures instantly attracted the zombies to surround them. Before they could take out the crystal core, they were forced to withdraw their hands and could only watch the dead zombies fall down and be stepped on.
"Oh, what a pity, it's a waste of effort." Bai Zuo was very regretful and strongly asked Bai You to aim before taking action.
The crystal core that was in hand flew away just like that, which made no one happy.
Bai You didn't care, "Don't panic, you can hook it back when the crystal core is exposed."
The two brothers squatted down and tried to hook the crystal core out of a pile of filth with a homemade small hook.
The elderly residents didn't get involved, watching with a smile on their faces. This was the first time they saw so many zombies without being afraid. Thinking about the comfortable life they had during this period, it was like living in a dream.
Thinking about this time last year, it was already unbearably cold outside, and there were already people wearing thin clothes on the roadside who were frozen to death or starved to death. Oh, cherish the present.
All this is thanks to Boss Xia. If there weren't such a hotel...
Just thinking this, I saw Boss Xia passing by leisurely. The residents quickly put away their legs to avoid being in the way, with warm smiles on their faces.
"Boss Xia is here."
"Yeah, everyone is basking in the sun." Xia Yan replied with a smile.
The others also greeted him. Everywhere I looked, there were smiling faces. Everyone looked relaxed. This was such a rare scene in the end times.
"I couldn't stay in the house, so I ran out to take a look."
"Also, I wanted to see how those kids took the crystal cores. Maybe I could hook one back later and then go to the buffet restaurant to spend money!"
"Haha, you're right, I'll try it later and buy more clothes for my wife!"
Everyone burst into laughter. The atmosphere was so harmonious that Xia Yan walked around the crowd easily and headed for the outdoor restaurant. She had already seen Xiong Xiong holding a menu and helping customers order. The outdoor tables were full of customers. Zhi Kang must be busy in the kitchen. She avoided the employees holding tea and walked into the kitchen. As expected, she saw Zhi Kang cooking in a formal dress, but the comfort in his eyes revealed his inner emotions. Sure enough, a doctor who doesn't want to be a chef is not a good employee. Xia Yan glanced at another employee who was helping on the side. He worked very neatly and the food hygiene was absolutely guaranteed. She found a chair and sat down casually, declined the employee who came to help her pour water, and smiled at Xiong Xiong who looked serious. The two furry ears trembled from time to time, and the milky boy's voice was full of vitality. I really want to rub it. Xiong Xiong repeated it after ordering the meal. After confirming that there was no problem, he turned around and saw the smiling boss. The next second, the corners of his mouth were raised high. "Boss, you are here! " Xiongxiong came quickly, handed the customer's order to Zhikang, then jumped over, hugged her arm, looked at her eagerly, like a child asking for candy. Xia Yan endured it again and again, and her evil hand finally touched the furry ears. Press down, let go, and it bounced back. She was happy after just one look. Xiongxiong was so obedient that she didn't move and let her toss her ears. She was also a little happy in her heart. Who doesn't like to be close to the boss? Xia Yan gently touched its wet nose tip. The touch was also wonderful. There were also furry and soft front paws and very elastic pads. It really healed my heart! She deliberately pulled out a hair to tickle its ears. Xiongxiong shook his head violently and looked at her with an expression of both grievance and helplessness. It was so cute that Xia Yan was touched. "Xiongxiong! You are so cute! " Xiongxiong Nai snorted softly, and seeing her claws were about to reach out again, she quickly snatched the plate from the employee's hand, and ran away after saying "Boss, I'll go serve the dishes first." Xia Yan looked at its fleeing back and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. With Xiongxiong around, how could life be boring. Xia Yan waited until the outdoor restaurant's business hours were over before calling Zhikang and Xiongxiong to pack up and go to Lidai Island to play for a while. "This way, no one will be watching the store, so I'll stay." Zhikang took off his chef's uniform, folded it neatly and put it in the closet. "No, just go straight this time. I'll go next time." Xiong Xiong also said. "No, everyone is going. Nothing will happen in the store, and the customers can't leave, so you don't have to worry." Xia Yan made up his mind without hesitation, "I'll call Xiaowan here later, and let's let go today." It’s a rare holiday for fun, and no one is allowed to lose control.” During this period of time, she had been staying at the main store, and she had not bothered to leave Xiaowan in charge of the branch. She could not forget Xiaowan this time. Let Xiong Xiong and Zhi Zhi wait in the private island to play first, then run back to the courtyard and step into the door of the branch. It's been a long time since I've been here. The branch has been rearranged neatly by Xiaowan. The store is full of guests, and some people are even squatting to eat. "Is business so good?" Xia Yan muttered, and at a glance he saw the mermaid Xiaowan standing by the window. Xia Yan walked over and called her, "What are you thinking about?" "Ah, boss, you're here." Xiaowan expressed surprise, "I didn't think about anything, I just got distracted looking at the snow. I was just talking to boss, so you came over. I'm so happy." "Is it snowing here?" Xia Yan then noticed that the streets outside were covered with white snowflakes, and the unswept areas were as deep as his calves. "Well, the temperature dropped overnight a few days ago, and it started snowing overnight. It was completely white the next day." Seeing that she was wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt, Xiao Wan continued: "Boss, please don't go out, be careful. "It's freezing." Xia Yan has been staying in the store. Whether it is a hotel or a safe area, the temperature has always been constant. Unexpectedly, it has started to snow here. The residential buildings in the distance are covered with thick membranes, and there is no light. No one is walking on the streets, and it is as if an empty city is silent. She looked around the store and saw that there were many customers with finished plates in front of them and coats hanging on the backs of chairs. Only then did Xia Yan understand why the store was full and customers were squatting to eat.
