Chapter 16 Oh, Snowman Brother is awake?
[Routine hotel maintenance tasks have been posted: The hotel is my home, and I love my home.]
Upon seeing the system notification, and adhering to the principle of never missing any system reward, Wang Xiao picked up the communicator beside him and called Wei Yan, who was acting as a temporary receptionist in the lobby.
"Wei Yan, Wei Yan."
"I am here!"
"In a little while, take Zhao Yajun and do a simple cleaning of floors 1 to 6 of the hotel."
Wei Yan's vision went black for a moment, and he replied, "Huh? It's me again?"
Wang Xiao asked, "Do you have a problem? Do you need me to come downstairs and tell you in person now? Or do you want to do everything yourself?"
Upon hearing that Wang Xiao was about to go downstairs, Wei Yan quickly replied, "Report, no."
"Xue Wu".
When his name was called, Xue Wu replied respectfully, "Boss."
Wang Xiao said, "I'm temporarily entrusting the hotel's security to you. Notify me immediately of any unusual situations."
Xue Wu assured Wang Xiao, "Don't worry, I promise I won't let you down."
After assigning tasks to the others, Wang Xiao took out his usual notebook and began to think about the various supplies that the hotel might lack in the future.
Now that the system is deeply integrated with this hotel, the hotel has become his foothold in this chaotic world.
First and foremost is food. The disaster has only just begun, and with most people turning into zombies, Wang Xiao has no idea how he could starve to death if he dared to risk his life.
Whether to choose to starve to death due to lack of food, or to fight to the death and either succeed in eating well or fail in being bitten to death by zombies, no matter the final outcome, a person in a desperate situation must always choose one.
Therefore, food will actually be given lower priority by Wang Xiao.
Instead, the key question Wang Xiao needs to consider is how to keep the hotel running so that he can continue to extract money from the system.
Since it was unclear when the water, electricity, and gas would be cut off, Wang Xiao needed to prepare some things in advance in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Since the hotel has a rooftop water tank, even if the water is cut off now, the water in the rooftop water tank should be enough to support several people for a while. Some more water can be collected from outside later, so it is not particularly scarce.
Even if we run out of water, there's still river water, isn't there?
However, from any perspective, drawing water from the river carries a slightly higher risk.
Regarding the gas, when taking inventory of the hotel's stock, he and Wei Yan discovered several full liquefied gas cylinders.
With the current number of guests at the hotel, if they use the hotel frugally and in a planned manner, there shouldn't be any major problems for at least 3 to 5 months.
After temporarily de-prioritizing water and gas, Wang Xiao left his ballpoint pen on the 'electricity' keypad.
It must be acknowledged that the advent of electricity has completely transformed human life.
Without electricity, humanity may return to an era ruled by darkness.
As for torches, candles... when everything around is dark, who would want to be the most conspicuous fool in the darkness?
Although the hotel is equipped with a small portable gasoline generator, it can only barely maintain lighting and some small electrical appliances, and since the remaining fuel reserves are not much, it can only be used for emergencies.
If the power were to be completely cut off, the meager output of that small generator would be insufficient to power the high-powered appliances in the hotel.
Especially the equipment in the kitchen, every single one of them consumes a lot of electricity.
Not to mention the cold storage facilities used to store food.
To avoid the worst-case scenario, he needs to prepare enough large diesel generators to keep the hotel running normally and enough fuel to keep the machines running.
Oil is not a problem; we can just take Xue Wu to a gas station outside the city when we have time.
As for large generators, we'll have to try our luck.
The most common places to see crowds are hospitals, high-end hotels, factories, important institutions, and shopping malls, but which of these places isn’t overcrowded?
Especially hospitals...
Wang Xiao didn't even need to go to the hospital to guess that it had probably already become a zombie abode.
At present, there is no need to consider it at all; we should give up on it for now.
The factory is too far from the hotel to be suitable for long-distance transport.
The main reason is that the cars were making too much noise, and the suddenness of the disaster has made the overall road conditions extremely complicated.
The fact that the three of them went to burn the corpse today is the best example.
If it weren't for Xue Wu's excellent driving skills, they might have actually been blocked on the road by zombies, which is out of the question.
The shopping mall... a second playground for zombies.
Depending on the size of the shopping mall, it might even surpass the most dangerous and heavily guarded place in the apocalypse, the hospital. (Cross that.)
Wang Xiao looked at the important institutions, thought for a moment, and then chose to cross them out.
Given the usual security presence of these important institutions, coupled with their relatively small staff, there is a high probability that some survivors are still alive. Considering the hotel's current situation, it's best not to provoke them.
Finally, Wang Xiao turned his gaze to his colleagues...
There's no way around it, you know we all run hotels. Even if you guys are closed for business in the apocalypse, we still have to keep going.
Taking out his phone, Wang Xiao used the pre-cached map to focus on the most upscale hotel closest to the Peace Hotel.
"Looks like I'll have to find a chance to go with Xue Wu tomorrow."
After briefly planning the preparations needed for the hotel, Wang Xiao put away his notes, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest.
Before I knew it, a wave of drowsiness washed over me, and I fell asleep instantly.
Wang Xiao didn't know how long he had slept when someone knocked on his door.
"Boss, boss, there's something I need you to handle personally."
After the upgrade, Wang Xiao, who was extremely sensitive to sound, suddenly opened his eyes and opened the door, looking slightly tired.
Zhao Yajun stood at the door and said respectfully, "Boss, the person you asked Wei Yan to take care of has woken up."
Upon hearing that Snowman had woken up, Wang Xiao was initially surprised, but then suddenly perked up and asked, "Oh? Where?"
Zhao Yajun replied, "On the second floor."
"Lead the way."
"Yes."
Since asking Wei Yan to take care of that snowman cosplayer, Wang Xiao had almost forgotten that the hotel even had such a person, except for the first time when he was cleaning.
Wei Yan hadn't mentioned this matter, and he assumed that Wei Yan had already dealt with this person in advance.
After all that, he can still breathe...
Well, hopefully this will be of some use.
Led by Zhao Yajun, the two arrived at Wei Yan's room.
Before even entering the room, Wang Xiao heard Wei Yan talking to someone.
Out of curiosity, Wang Xiao wanted to hear what Wei Yan and that person were talking about, so he didn't go in directly.
After listening for a while, he was speechless when he discovered that Wei Yan was actually telling the person what to be careful about after meeting him.
What employee would introduce their boss to others by saying, "My boss might have some mental issues"?
He admitted that his mental state was a bit too excited, but it shouldn't be associated with mental illness, right?
Is this respectful of people with mental illness?
After listening for a while, Wang Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on the door.
Upon seeing Wang Xiao, Wei Yan immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Boss."
Seeing this, the guy on the bed hurriedly stood up as well, and whispered, "Boss... hello."
Wang Xiao glanced at Wei Yan, then looked at the other person: "Oh, our Snowman brother is awake?"
Don't rush to speak, listen to me first.
Before we begin our formal conversation, may I ask you what you were thinking when you locked yourself in the freezer room to cosplay as a snowman?
I've always been curious about what you were thinking back then. Could you please answer that for me? Thank you in advance.
