After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 63

Chapter 63 – An Expert in Kidnapping Small Animals

　　Wen Bei felt that maybe he knew him too well, otherwise why would he feel that something was wrong when he saw the man showing this playful expression.

　　He stepped forward and held out his hand: “Let me see.”

　　Qiu Tin actually obediently handed him the notebook and raised his eyebrows to signal him to look down.

　　Wen Bei took the notebook and started flipping through it. The front contained some normal records, such as his daily routine, which was recorded in great detail, including his dietary preferences.

　　It could be seen that Bo Ji was indeed taking him very seriously as a research subject.

　　As for the explanation of his appearance, Bo Ji thought it might be because he had been in the Hotel since the beginning of the apocalypse, so he had not been contaminated.

　　This is also the general idea of most people.

　　Wen Bei turned to the next page, his pupils contracted for a moment, and he finally understood why Qiu Tin had such a sudden reaction just now.

　　【Does the subject have a spouse? Yes.】

　　【Is the spouse a polluter? Yes.】

　　【The spouse of the research subject is named Qiu Tin, a male polluter with unfathomable strength, and the two have a very close relationship.】

　　Then, Bo Ji used what he had seen and heard to list some evidence to prove that they were a “couple”, which seemed clear and well-reasoned at first glance.

　　Wen Bei felt as if his head was buzzing, as if several planes were bombing him. Amidst the chaos, the word “spouse” stood out particularly.

　　He looked at Bo Ji, his beautiful cat-like eyes wide open and bright, as if there was vivid anger burning in them: “We are not in a relationship!”

　　Bo Ji was stunned for a moment, and his black-framed glasses slipped off his nose: “No?”

　　Wen Bei said categorically: “No!”

　　He stretched out his foot and kicked Qiu Tin’s calf lightly: “Explain it to him.”

　　Qiu Tin didn’t dodge, and chuckled in a sexy voice, with an indescribable doting: “Yeah.”

　　Wen Bei’s ears turned red, like a bullied kitten baring its teeth and claws: “Don’t write nonsense.”

　　It didn’t look like he had any killing power, but instead made people want to ruffle his hair and bully him.

　　Qiu Tin was standing nearby, the smile in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

　　”Oh.” Bo Ji glanced at him slowly, “I see.”

　　He took the small notebook, took out a pen and wrote something else on it.

　　Wen Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He had never thought that he and Qiu Tin had such a relationship in the eyes of outsiders. He felt inexplicably embarrassed.

　　‘All this is the fault of this mad dog, it must be because he always does things unconventionally.’

　　Wen Bei glared at the man, and the slightly upturned corners of his eyes seemed to have little hooks.

　　Qiu Tin gladly accepted his anger.

　　Bo Ji silently wrote down a few more words: 【The research subject may have an attribute of being a tsundere. He does not admit his relationship with his spouse in front of outsiders.】

•=|=•

　　After some preparation, it was getting dark and the sun would set in two hours.

　　Wen Bei saw A’Luo’s anxiety and took the initiative to suggest: “Let’s leave now.”

　　A’Luo was stunned for a moment: “Can we?”

　　He stuttered, feeling really embarrassed.

　　Not only did he have to ask the owner of the Hotel to accompany him, he even had to hurry on the journey.

　　In this icy and snowy place, he is just an ordinary person. If he got sick from the cold…

　　Meeting A’Luo’s worried eyes, Wen Bei remembered that he was still an ordinary person in their eyes.

　　He comforted him: “I’ll be fine.”

　　Facts have proved that as long as one had abilities, their physical fitness would improve. The fear of cold has not improved much, but one will not get sick easily.

　　As soon as he stepped out of the Hotel, Wen Bei wrapped himself up like a ball. After putting on rabbit fur earmuffs and gloves, his delicate little face looked even more childish.

　　At least this way he wouldn’t freeze to death.

　　This was the only way he could comfort himself.

　　After being modified by Bo Ji and others, the car became very suitable for driving on the snow. The only problem was that the speed would be slower.

　　The car is also equipped with a hot air system to make the interior of the car a little warmer.

　　There were four of them in total, driving a car that could carry eight people. There was more than enough space, even enough for people to lie down and sleep in the back seat.

　　Wen Bei held a hand warmer in his arms and glanced at the man sitting next to him.

　　He was only wearing a sweater under his black windbreaker, without even buttoning it up. He was dressed so casually but didn’t feel cold at all. Comparatively Wen Bei looked more like a ball next to him.

　　The gap between people is so huge that Wen Bei feels a little depressed.

　　Qiu Tin seemed to sense his invisible envy. He moved his fingers lightly and with his ability, he conjured a dragon tail about as thick as an adult’s arm. He placed it directly on Wen Bei’s leg. The tip of the tail swung back and forth, emitting heat.

　　It was warmer and more tempting than the hand warmer in his arms.

　　Wen Bei was reserved for a moment, but finally couldn’t resist the temptation of the tip of the tail. He hugged the tail in his arms. The coldness from all over his body was immediately driven away, and he narrowed his eyes in comfort.

　　Bo Ji, who was driving in front, was originally determining the driving route with A’Luo. While they were talking, they suddenly noticed a warning gaze.

　　The two of them looked at the rearview mirror at the same time, and were caught off guard by the sight of Wen Bei sleeping with his tail in his arms, leaning on Qiu Tin’s shoulder.

　　It turned out that the young man had fallen asleep at some point, and the man consciously leaned to the side and adjusted his body so that he could sleep more comfortably.

　　The sensible tail also wrapped around the young man’s waist for support.

　　Qiu Tin raised his eyes and looked at them through the rearview mirror with a cold gaze.

　　Bo Ji and A’Luo were so scared that they looked away. They both shut their mouths tacitly and stopped talking.

　　The interior of the car suddenly became silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling outside the window and the occasional dying cries of the filth being hunted.

　　•=|=•

　　They drove in the snow for two days. Wen Bei used Qiu Tin’s tail as a hand warmer. He was a little embarrassed at the beginning, but later on, he became more and more adept at it.

　　Almost as soon as he stretched out his hand, the tail would come over automatically, wagging the tip.

　　Wen Bei touched the tail in his arms. The texture was like the hard scales of a dragon in the legend, but it did not cut his hands. The sharpest parts automatically tightened and fitted when he touched them, like warm jade that would automatically heat up when played with.

　　Wen Bei: “Is the route we are heading towards now the same as the transportation route?”

　　A’Luo felt heavy-hearted: “Yeah.”

　　Their situation was not optimistic. Despite Bo Ji’s help, they did not deviate from the route at all, but could not find any trace of the convoy.

　　The heavy snow covered almost everything.

　　The atmosphere became increasingly depressing.

　　Wen Bei took out a milk pot and said to encourage them: “Let’s cook some instant noodles.”

　　Instant noodles are extremely inconspicuous in the apocalypse. No one produces them after the apocalypse, and they almost disappeared after the third year. So when Wen Bei took out the instant noodles, Bo Ji and A’Luo came over immediately.

　　A’Luo wiped his face and regained his composure: “I’ll cook it.”

　　Wen Bei: “Just go pick up something to burn.”

　　The snow was wet and it was not easy to make a fire.

　　After agreeing, A’Luo walked away. He wanted to find some dead wood for firewood.

　　Dead wood is a very common type of filth in polluted areas. It is also a rare plant with weak attack power.

　　Hollow mouths and eyes appear on the bark, as if staring at everyone who approaches. It will not react if filth lands on it, but will make an unpleasant whine if attacked.

　　They have strong reproductive and regeneration abilities. Their roots are hundreds of meters long in the ground. Even if they are damaged to only a small piece of root, they can grow into towering trees again.

　　It is a fuel that polluters love very much in polluted areas.

　　He had learned all this common sense about contaminated areas from Bo Ji in the past two days, and the relationship between the two men had grown rapidly.

　　A’Luo looked up and soon found a dead tree, which was heavy with snow and without a single green leaf.

　　Dead wood cannot produce green leaves.

　　A’Luo used his special ability to shovel off a large piece of bark. Just as he was about to take it away, he suddenly found a strange bulge on the bark in front of him.

　　It seems to be still squirming.

　　”What is this?” A’Luo muttered and reached out to touch it.

　　The next second, a brightly colored poisonous scorpion came out from inside, and its deformed tail pierced straight into his fingers. At the critical moment, he was grabbed by a small white figure and his body fell violently backwards.

　　He fell in the snow without any pain and avoided the risk of being stabbed by dirty objects.

　　Seeing that its sneak attack failed, the poisonous scorpion continued to move closer with its tail raised. It was an extremely poisonous and filthy creature. Even a polluter with a strong physique would have a mortality rate of up to 50% if stung.

　　A’Luo stepped back in fear and stabbed it with the spear in his hand.

　The poisonous scorpion was small and moved quickly, so he couldn’t hit it for a while, and it moved a little closer instead.

　　Just as it was about to jump over him, it was stepped on hard by a white pad of flesh.

　　A’Luo opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then he saw clearly that the one who had just saved his life was the familiar white fox.

　　The white fox was still shedding tears of blood. It closed its eyes tightly and accurately bit the poisonous scorpion, obviously treating it as its prey.

　　With another graceful leap, it disappeared into the white snow.

　　”Wait!” A’Luo stretched out his hand in its direction, then put it down in disappointment after a few seconds.

　　Wen Bei came over after hearing his voice: “What’s wrong?”

　　A’Luo roughly explained what had just happened, looking very excited: “It’s true! I was right that the white fox must be real!”

　　After hearing his explanation that day, many guests at the Hotel thought that he must have been frozen stupid and was seeing hallucinations.

　　How could there be a filthy creature that would take the initiative to bring humans to the Hotel?

　　”But why doesn’t it want to come close to us?” A’Luo’s expression became distressed.

　　If the first time was a coincidence, the second time definitely could not be a coincidence.

　　It has been observing them silently in the dark.

　　Wen Bei: “You just said it took the scorpion as its prey?”

　　”Yeah.” Luo didn’t quite understand why he asked that.

　　Wen Bei thought for a moment: “Maybe I can find a way to lure it out.”

　　Before traveling through time, he had fed stray cats and dogs in several places where he worked.

　　He is obviously very good at kidnapping small animals.
