After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 61

Chapter 61 – The Abnormality of the Person In Charge

　　Ji Mingyuan deducted the money from his account without saying a word, and brought out two bento boxes of fried pork chop from the kitchen and placed them in front of them.

　　The marinated pork is fried, coated with golden breadcrumbs, and decorated with some green leaves and cherry tomatoes, which looks particularly tempting.

　　Wen Bei glanced at Ji Mingyuan and also felt that there was something wrong with his attitude.

　　A’Luo’s attention was completely attracted by the bento. He held the bento box and ate it with relish. He took a big piece of pork chop and a mouthful of rice, and his mouth was full in an instant.

　　He looked at the person in charge who hadn’t started eating yet, with a puzzled look in his eyes: “Aren’t you going to eat?”

　　The person looked at him and smiled a little stiffly, or rather, the curve of his mouth had not changed since just now: “I need to go to the toilet.”

　　The sound was still a little choppy, and the hoarse voice sounded like a cassette film.

　　Before A’Luo would react, he had already stood up and gone to the toilet.

　　A’Luo immediately looked guilty: “I forgot that his hand was injured and he couldn’t eat by himself.”

　　Ji Mingyuan had seen too many polluters injured outside the base. One of his teammates was even forced to have his limbs cut off in the wild after being stuck in a swamp. The environment was very bad at the time, and they were able to survive only with their obsession and the polluters’ own ability.

　　He finally managed to save his life. When he returned to the base and saw his anxious wife, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he died.

　　There was no time to say a word.

　　In order to bring him back, they gave up a lot of supplies. Ji Mingyuan was also questioned by some people before he became the president. If that person died on the way, they would have given up supplies for a useless corpse.

　　Fortunately, they finally met for the last time.

　　Things like this are very common in the end times.

　　So when Ji Mingyuan saw that the person in charge had lost his hands, there was not much emotion on his face.

　　He wasn’t even numb.

　　He didn’t mean to humiliate the person by doing this; it was just a basic test.

　　Ji Mingyuan turned his head and looked at Wen Bei, and they both saw the solemnity in each other’s eyes.

　　When the person in charge faced a delicious food that was within reach but he could not eat, his first reaction was not anxiety or embarrassment. Instead, his unchanged expression made it seem even more weird. At this moment, even fear, doubt and hesitation were more convincing.

　　There was something wrong with him.

　　It started from the moment he stepped into the Hotel, or rather, long before he stepped into the hotel.

　　Wen Bei frowned: “Let’s go and take a look.”

　　A’Luo was reckless and straightforward. He had not doubted the person in charge until now. Or maybe it was subconscious resistance that made him look confused: “I…I’ll go. He may not be feeling well, or there may be too many people in the restaurant…”

　　He couldn’t even finish the last half of the sentence.

　　The person in charge often took over people sent by the base, and faced a crowded safe zone where everyone is in danger every day. How could he be afraid of people?

　　A hint of panic appeared on A’Luo’s face. He even put down the lunch box he was eating and walked straight to the toilet.

　　Wen Bei and Ji Mingyuan followed without saying a word.

　　In the toilet, a mirror reflected the ferocious expression of the person in charge at the moment.

　　His face was covered with thread-like things wriggling under his skin, like a devil, until finally the whites of his eyes were gradually occupied by the red thread-like things, leaving only a blood-red area. If one looked closely, one could see that the blood-red area was wriggling and was not stagnant.

　　A’Luo walked too fast and too hastily, and before Ji Mingyuan could react, he rushed into the toilet.

　　”Ah!”

　　A shrill scream came from the toilet.

　　Ji Mingyuan kicked open the door that hadn’t closed yet: “What’s wrong?”

　　His voice sounded very safe. A’Luo, who was pinned to the ground and bitten, suddenly raised his head: “Save me!”

　　He was terrified. It was the first time he encountered an attack on his companions. He couldn’t even use his special powers at the critical moment.

　　There were other people in the toilet. After seeing this scene, they were so scared that they went back into the cubicle and didn’t dare to come out.

　　Ji Mingyuan raised his index and middle fingers together and swung them forward. A familiar sound of an eagle’s cry echoed and the black eagle grabbed the person in charge by the collar and pulled him off. Its sharp claws tore the flesh on his face. The imagined scene of torn flesh did not appear, and blood did not flow out of the wound. Instead, clumps of red lines appeared.

　　It just clung to the flesh and squirmed wildly.

　　A’Luo screamed, “He’s been contaminated!?”

　　He was closest to the man and could directly see the red filaments twisting continuously, twitching like blood vessels and nerves that could be observed with the naked eye.

　　“What’s contaminated?”

　　The guest who had just hidden in the compartment had been eavesdropping. Hearing this, he immediately poked his head out with a nervous look on his face: “Isn’t this place known for being free of filth?”

　　Wen Bei: “Wait.”

　　He raised his hand and interrupted the two people’s noisy conversation.

　　The toilet became quiet, with only a slight sound coming from the person in charge, which was the sound of sizzling under the skin.

　　Ji Mingyuan was the most experienced person present: “He hasn’t turned into filth yet.”

　　As soon as these words came out, the guest believed them. Apparently, he also recognized Ji Mingyuan’s famous face in the base.

　　He is the idol and belief of many polluters.

　　After Ji Mingyuan was announced to be “missing”, it was not only the people of the White Eagle Guild who were sad, many Polluters were also confused.

　　Even such a powerful person couldn’t resist the pollution, and they experienced the cruel pressure of the end of the world once again.

　　The polluter couldn’t see the face of the person in charge. He only knew that the man had just suddenly knocked someone down and was now being held by the eagle and was stuck in a stalemate.

　　If it was truly a filth creature, A’Luo would have been a corpse by now.

　　The guest breathed a sigh of relief: “Maybe the pollution level was too high and he lost control for a while. Let’s take him to get something to eat.”

　　If the pollution level wasn’t high, he wouldn’t come here.

　　The guest took it for granted and convinced himself, and he walked out quickly to leave space for them.

　　Because the pollution level was too high and out of control, it would normally require an S-level alert, but this in the Hotel, that wasn’t necessary. The problem could be easily solved.

　　Ji Mingyuan did not let go of the eagle.

　　A’Luo: “It’s okay, I’m fine. Let’s take him to eat something.”

　　The last half of the sentence sounded almost like a plea.

　　He showed his palm, on which was a tooth mark.

　　That was caused by the person in charge biting him just now. Since his teeth were not deformed, the wound was not deep and no blood was seen.

　　Wen Bei: “Let’s measure the pollution level first.”

　　He must be responsible for the safety of other people in the Hotel.

　　Ji Mingyuan had already stretched out his testing ring and dropped it on the person in charge.

　　【99! 】

　　【99! 】

　　【99! 】

　　After the red 99 flashed three times, the word “Danger” was enlarged, bolded, and kept flashing on it.

　　Ji Mingyuan’s pupils shrank, and he almost immediately shouted, “It’s too late!”

　　It grabbed him and dragged him out.

　　The transition between 99 and 100 sometimes takes half a month and sometimes takes two seconds.

　　It is the most dangerous value, almost as if standing on the edge of a cliff. If the wind blows, you will fall down and be smashed to pieces.

　　Wen Bei reacted very quickly: “Take him to the back garden!”

　　There is a hot spring in the back garden, which is the fastest-acting amenity in the Hotel.

　　Given his condition, his throat might be filled with these things and he might not be able to eat.

　　A’Luo wiped his tears and said, “Where is that?”

　　His face was pale, and his skinny legs and feet were shaking unconsciously due to hunger.

　　As a security guard, Ji Mingyuan naturally knew about the hot springs. He nodded quickly and let the bird carry him out without hesitation.

　　The slightly larger bird can carry a person effortlessly, and can even hold a person and hover in the air.

　　They avoided the most crowded route and Wen Bei directly opened the door to the back garden.

　　The moment he stepped into the back garden, the man who had been quiet suddenly struggled violently. Red blood lines appeared from his eyes, nostrils, ears, mouth, and any cracks on his face.

　　A’Luo, who had been holding on, finally couldn’t stand it anymore: “What the hell is this!?”

　　After he screamed, he actually started to retch and ran to the side to hold on to the wall.

　　Ji Mingyuan suddenly pulled Wen Bei back, and the Black Hawk loosened its sharp claws, allowing the man to fall to the ground like mud.

　　Ji Mingyuan: “It’s a deformed blood nematode.”

　　In fact, from the first glance he saw in the toilet just now, he knew that this was caused by some parasitic creature, but in order not to waste time and cause panic, he did not say it directly.

　　Now there was no need to hide.

　　Because it’s too late…

　　Wen Bei looked at the man in a daze. This was the first time he saw a person turning into a filth right before his eyes.

　　It was also the first time he was seeing the direct impact of the pollution.

　　The person who looked like a human being just now was now covered with these moving blood-colored lines. The flesh under the skin began to disappear, and gradually the person who was plump just now became shriveled, with wrinkled skin and no flesh to fill it.

　　The eyeballs and organs disappeared, and the bones were gone.

　　It was not known whether the blood nematodes consumed all of his flesh and blood or replaced it. In the end, only a piece of human skin was left on the ground.

　　Complete, hollow human skin.

　　A large group of blood nematodes swarmed out, but as soon as they touched the tiles near the hot spring, all of them emitted white smoke from their bodies, and finally disappeared in a twisted state of pain.

　　Just like the strange flesh and blood that was bitten off.

　　This is the Hotel’s 【RULE】.

　　The filth of foreign invasion cannot survive.

　　Wen Bei was a little stunned. He opened his mouth and found that his voice was a little hoarse: “But why…”

　　The man was obviously not completely contaminated before entering the Hotel.

　　Ji Mingyuan: “Because his pollution level was 99 at that time, he still had a trace of human rationality, so the Hotel did not stop him from entering.”

　　”Even if there is no pollution source in the Hotel that can contaminate people, the pollution level in his body has already reached a peak. It is only a matter of time before his body is completely distorted, turning him into filth. Even if we discovered it at the beginning, it would be too late. His body has already become like this.”

　　After Ji Mingyuan finished speaking, he glanced at the human skin on the ground again: “…At least if we discovered it three hours earlier, there would have been hope of recovery.”

　　Ji Mingyuan is a somewhat serious and old-fashioned person, and Wen Bei knew that what he said was not to comfort him.

　　The person in charge had only been in the Hotel for an hour in total, so it was impossible for him to make it in time.

　　He just simply felt a little uncomfortable.

　　A heart-wrenching retching dragged him out of his emotions.

　Wen Bei turned around in surprise and saw A’Luo leaning against the wall. The moment he saw clearly what he was doing, his pupils trembled unconsciously.

　　A’Luo opened his mouth and throw up something, but what he spit out was not food residue or acid water, but clumps of… blood nematodes.
