After The Fall Of The Earth, My Hotel Became Popular - Chapter 95

Chapter 95 – Red Blood Incident

　　The dishes were served quickly, including a colorful plate of fried beans and an unidentified sticky substance that was as black as charcoal.

　　It is said to be the spit of some kind of insect.

　　Wen Bei’s big ears turned down slightly in disgust. He did not eat the food on it, but poked it carefully with a fork, pretending to enjoy it while listening to the conversation between the people at the next table.

　　Their voices are undisguised.

　　”Did someone really die because of the Red Blood incident again?”

　　”Yes, it is said that when the Security Council members went over, all four walls of the room were soaked in blood.”

　　”Is the red blood incident related to the fog that suddenly appeared outside the base?”

　　Upon hearing this, Wen Bei couldn’t help but wag his tail, and almost instantly, he realized that the fog these people were talking about was his Misty Manor.

　　It turned out that the people in the base already knew about the Hotel, but why didn’t they send anyone to investigate for three days?

　　Qiu Tin’s eyes fell on his restlessly swinging tail, and he finally reached out and secretly touched it under the table.

　　The owner of the tail was focused on the gossip at the next table and didn’t care at all that his smooth-fur tail was being touched. He even instinctively rubbed his big tail into the man’s palm.

　　The dishes for the next table were also served. They ordered guinea pig meat. There was no sauce on the white meat. It looked like it was just steamed and cut into pieces before being served on the table.

　　Apart from the fishy smell, guinea pig meat does not have too many strange and polluted smells. It is very popular in the base, but the number is scarce. The base does not breed them. Each guinea pig is caught by the mercenary convoy outside.

　　After tasting this “delicious” dish, people at the table couldn’t control their chatter.

　　”The Red Blood incident happened in the base only after the fog appeared. I absolutely don’t believe that there is no connection.”

　　”What is that in the fog?”

　　”It is said that there is a hotel opened by filth.”

　　”Huh? A filth opening a hotel!?” The young man at the table seemed to have heard some kind of joke, “Are you dreaming?”

　　The people at the same table looked at him, somewhat unconvinced: “A few days ago, more than a dozen mercenaries went there, and in the end only a few survived and escaped. They were injured by the filth in the fog.”

　　”I heard that the products sold in the store can cause people to hallucinate.”

　　As soon as the man completed his statement, Wen Bei couldn’t help but break the chopsticks in his hand.

　　The sound interrupted their conversation and they all looked at Wen Bei in surprise.

　　Wen Bei looked them in the eye and smiled politely: “I’m very sorry, I just overheard your conversation. Can I ask who told you that there was filth in the fog?”

　　Behind his calm smile is suppressed anger.

　　He wanted to see who the person who dared to spread rumors in Yi Guang Base about The Hotel.

　　Looking at the handsome young man with animal ears in front of them, the chatterbox men were at a loss, as if they were the ones who were caught eavesdropping.

　　The young man who had just been stubborn was the first to betray: “It was the leader of the G45 team and the current members who said that. They are all very powerful polluters, so many people believe what they say.”

　　The thick fog had appeared suddenly and strangely, and all the filth around it was avoiding the area where the thick fog was. Such a strange existence would inevitably receive a lot of response and attention as long as someone was the first to come forward to express it, whether it was true or false.

　　Those who spread rumors take advantage of the mentality of the masses and the fact that it is temporarily impossible to verify the facts. They spread rumors effortlessly and make the existence in the fog sound even more dangerous and exaggerated.

　　Wen Bei’s pair of dark eyes showed little emotion: “Is their leader the one with bandages all over his body?”

　　The young man nodded quickly: “Yes! It’s him!”

　　The image of the bandaged man suddenly returned to Wen Bei’s mind. His eyes turned slightly cold, but quickly recovered.

　　It turned out that the group of robbers survived and successfully returned to the base, spreading rumors without fear of death.

　　He didn’t expect that even after being so seriously injured, they could still survive being surrounded by thousands of vicious dogs.

　　It was rare for Wen Bei to feel a little regretful.

　　He shouldn’t have been so soft-hearted at that time. If he had killed them directly, there wouldn’t have been all these consequences.

　　Now people in the base regard his hotel as a monster, and some even link him to the “Red Blood Incident”, which invisibly deepens the fear.

　　This is very unfavorable for the expansion of the Hotel.

　　The fox tail reveals the owner’s inner anger, and the large arc it swings in indicates displeasure.

　　Wen Bei nodded slightly at them: “Thank you.”

　　His face darkened as he turned around.

　　The young man looked dazed, watching Wen Bei leave, and couldn’t help but take a step forward: “You…”

　　Before he could finish his conversation, he suddenly shuddered all over, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

　　What kind of eyes are those?

　　It was as if blood was splashed into those strange scarlet eyes, which looked at him quietly, and it was more terrifying than having the fangs of a top predator pressed against your throat artery.

　　It is a warning issued by the male when he feels that someone is coveting his treasure.

　　If he dared to take another step forward, he had no doubt that his head would be twisted off.

　　He had never felt such a fierce murderous aura from his fellow polluters.

　　Qiu Tin gave him a meaningful look, then quickly stretched out his long legs and easily caught up with the person in front of him.

　　Seeing him suddenly stop moving, the people at the same table couldn’t help but joke, “Has your soul been seduced by the beautiful animal ears?”

　　Hearing his companions’ jokes, the young man finally broke free from the veil of fear. His palms were covered with sweat, and then his whole body went limp.

　　After leaving the restaurant, Wen Bei casually ate some bread he brought from the Hotel to fill his stomach. At this moment, he was fully focused on figuring out what the red blood incident was.

　　And how to find the Bandage Man and make him pay for the rumors he spread.

　　If one wants to dispel rumors, one needs to find the person who first spread the rumor and get him to clarify.

　　This is by far the most convenient shortcut.

　　Wen Bei walked back to the hotel and happened to meet the short bald man.

　　The short bald man was about to say hello when suddenly a bag of crystals was placed in front of him.

　　The bald man’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Is there anything you need?”

　　Wen Bei: “I want to ask you something.”

　　If everyone’s position here is assigned by what Sparrow calls the job manager, then the short bald guy must have more connections than he looks to be assigned as a hotel manager.

　　The short bald man took the crystals and said, “You tell me.”

　　”I want to ask you about the recent sensational red blood incident.” Wen Bei’s smile did not reach his eyes.

　　The short bald man said: “You have asked the right person. I have a friend who works at the Security Council. He said that according to actual statistics, more than a hundred people have died in the recent Red Blood Incident.”

　　And it had only been three days since the red blood incident.

　　This number is already astonishing.

　　”The Security Council announced that there were only 23 people, because most of the dead were ordinary people who were not taken seriously.”

　　In order to avoid panic, the remaining one hundred lives became hidden data, as if their deaths were not worth mentioning.

　　The short bald man also looked down on the Security Council’s negative attitude, so he told everything he knew without reservation.

　　The so-called red blood incident refers to the recent frequent and inexplicable deaths of people at home or other enclosed spaces.

　　The deaths were all peaceful, with their eyes closed as if they were asleep, and there were no obvious external injuries on their bodies. But the only important point was that the walls were soaked in blood.

　　It was a mixture of the blood of dozens of animals, with some human blood mixed in.

　　Without exception, the space where everyone who died in the red blood incident was found, it is like a square filled with red.

　　Only it wasn’t paint, it was smelly blood.

　　The timing of the Red Blood Incident was too clever. When the first person who died in the Red Blood Incident was discovered, the fog appeared outside the base.

　　So many people have speculated whether there is a connection between the two.

　　The Security Council issued an order yesterday that no one is allowed to approach the area where the fog is without permission.

　　They need to eliminate hidden dangers in the base and then send people to check it out personally.

　　Wen Bei: “Oh, by the way, do you know where the leader of the G45 team lives? He’s the man with bandages all over his body.”

　　The short bald man took a sip of hot water and said, “I don’t know about that.”

　　Wen Bei didn’t force it. After thanking the short bald man, he returned to the room.

　　He looked at Qiu Tin: “Do you know what the Security Council represents in this base?”

　　Qiu Tin did not answer immediately, but stared at Wen Bei’s furry tail, indicating that he needed payment.

　　Wen Bei: “…”

　　After enduring for a while, he still reluctantly handed his big tail to the man.

　　The hair was smoothed by the rough palm.

　　Even if he didn’t want to admit it, the feeling of having his hair stroked is indeed very relaxing.

　　Qiu Tin raised the corner of his lips, stroking his tail as he answered, “There is one big difference between the Yiguang Base and the H City Base. Their systems are completely opposite.”

　　The H City base is managed by the base leader alone, while Yi Guang is managed by the people in the Security Council.

　　The Security Council is divided into five major forces, three of which represent radicalism. They believe that the conflict between ordinary people and polluters cannot be reconciled and will increase over time, and that polluters and ordinary people must be separated.

　　The other two factions are moderate, among whom Wendy is not only the youngest among the five major forces, but also the only ordinary person without abilities.

　　Moderates exist primarily for the benefit of ordinary people.

　　They believe that ordinary people are the majority and should not be treated as the bottom of society.

　　According to the current situation, the radicals are the mainstream, but the five forces are always fighting openly and secretly, and finally they restrain each other.

　　After listening to Qiu Tin’s words, Wen Bei showed a thoughtful look on his face. Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly felt that the hand stroking the tail lost control of the strength for a moment.

　　Wen Bei frowned: “What’s wrong?”

　　Qiu Tin: “There is something in the hotel.”

　　Wen Bei closed his eyes, and a strange feeling also came over him. Before he could ask any more questions, a scream suddenly reached his ears.

　　It was Sparrow’s voice!

　　He immediately ran out of the room and ran towards the place where the scream originated. The two men stopped at a door.

　　Wen Bei knocked on the door without hesitation: “Sparrow? Are you in there?”

　　There were sounds of tables and chairs being overturned, and knocking on the door that seemed to have startled something, but soon the sounds inside disappeared, as if everything was just their illusion.

　　Wen Bei winked at the person next to him, and Qiu Tin pulled him back a step. Then he suddenly spun his right leg and kicked the solid door violently, kicking it open.

　　The metal locks were helpless against this brute force and could only hang there in tatters.

　　Before Wen Bei walked into the room, the stench of blood hit his nose. He covered his mouth and walked in. What he saw was indeed a glaring red. The walls on all four sides were covered with splattered blood, some of which had already solidified, and some was still dripping down.

　　The lively girl with pockmarks on her face was now lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
