Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 109

"Yes, Jianglin Hotel. Someone in City B opened a hotel where you can buy food and drinks anytime, and there’s also a temperature control suit available."

Song Chengjun spared no words in praising Jianglin Hotel like it was a rainbow of compliments.

The gatekeeper felt as if Song Chengjun was daydreaming, full of disbelief.

"The first time you enter the base, everyone needs to pay 2 kilograms of rice. If you don’t have rice, you can use other items as a substitute."

However, the amount of other items needed to exchange for the equivalent of 2 kilograms of rice was determined by their own price list.

Chu Jiangyue didn’t have raw rice, only cooked rice made from it.

The rest of the team was in a similar situation as Chu Jiangyue, but Chu Jiangyue also had to cover the entry cost for two children.

Among the two kids, Shang Gucheng didn’t understand anything, but Shang Guyue was relatively bright and already had a vague sense of their circumstances, so she stuck closely to Chu Jiangyue, holding her brother’s hand.

With a child’s intuition, she felt it was safest to stay by Chu Jiangyue’s side.

"Without rice, if I use corn as a substitute, how much do I need to pay?"

Chu Jiangyue didn’t take anything out but asked first.

"You have corn?"

Hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, the gatekeeper’s eyes lit up.

Although the entrance fee was 2 kilograms of rice per person, in these times, few people had rice.

Even if they did, few were willing to bring it out.

Mostly, people used some snacks or occasionally obtained sealed fruit as replacements.

After all, rice is a staple food, and other items don’t fill you as much.

Moreover, if stored properly, rice can last for several years.

"First say how much corn can equal 2 kilograms of rice."

To avoid being overcharged without a clear exchange rate, Chu Jiangyue wouldn’t bring out anything.

She was promoting Jianglin Hotel; whether she got in or not didn’t really matter.

At worst, she could camp outside, and if that didn’t work, she’d stay in the car. At any rate, she didn’t have to worry about being attacked by zombies.

"The exchange rate for rice to corn is 1:3."

This meant she needed to produce 18 kilograms of corn to cover the entry fee for three people.

This amount was negligible for Chu Jiangyue.

"We are three people, 18 kilograms of corn, weigh it."

Chu Jiangyue waved her hand, and a pile of corn appeared on the table used for the entry fees.

Then someone with a counterweight began weighing the corn.

They weren’t using an electronic scale, as there was no power for it.

Due to the lack of electricity, everyone’s quality of life had regressed twenty years overnight.

"Exactly 18 kilograms; you can go inside for a full-body check now."

The gatekeeper pointed to two makeshift "black rooms" at the back.

However, Shang Guyue was a girl, so Chu Jiangyue could accompany her, while Shang Gucheng, though only three, still counted as male.

Chu Jiangyue instinctively looked at Shen Zhigui: "Mr. Shen, could you take him in for the checkup?"

"Sure."

Shen Zhigui also chose to use corn as the entry payment, like Chu Jiangyue.

Now, receiving Chu Jiangyue’s request for help, Shen Zhigui agreed almost without thinking.

Though Shang Gucheng was somewhat scared, he bravely placed his small chubby hand into Shen Zhigui’s big hand in the end.

Looking at the big hand holding his, Shang Gucheng’s heart felt incredibly reassured for a moment.

Brother Shen’s hand was just like his father’s, very large and incredibly safe.

The three-year-old child was only as tall as Shen Zhigui’s thigh, even walking was a bit wobbly, yet every step he took was firm.

Shen Zhigui intentionally slowed his pace so that Shang Gucheng could keep up with him.

Men on the left, women on the right; Chu Jiangyue took Shang Guyue into the examination room on the right.

Shang Guyue was a little scared at first, but with Chu Jiangyue holding her hand, she felt secure.

Luckily, the person checking them was a young woman who seemed around 20, and when she saw Shang Guyue looking nervous, she explained why they needed to check their bodies.

Understanding the reason, Shang Guyue’s expression relaxed a bit.

Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui almost simultaneously came out of the examination room with the children. When Shang Gucheng saw Chu Jiangyue and his sister, his eyes brightened.

"Sister!"

"Let’s wait here; the other brothers and sisters haven’t come out yet."

With Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui each holding a child, and obviously being part of the same team, they caught the attention of many in the base.

Sensing these glances, Shen Zhigui instinctively stepped forward to block the onlookers’ views from Chu Jiangyue.

While Chu Jiangyue wasn’t too concerned about people’s eyes, she was happy to have someone shield her.

Song Chengjun and Jin Churan, among others, gradually emerged from the examination rooms.

Everyone from Jianglin Hotel managed to come out smoothly this time.

Soon, news of Chu Jiangyue’s group entering the L City Safe Base reached the ears of the base’s leader, Fang Chengwu.

After listening to the report, Fang Chengwu’s expression subtly changed after dismissing his subordinates.

"Boss from B City Base, but living in Jianglin Hotel?"

Fang Chengwu found several things odd.

In these times, who dares to open a hotel, truly unafraid of having their supplies robbed?

I wonder if this hotel is genuine or if the owner really has the capability to run one?

"It seems I need to send some people out to gather information outside."

Otherwise, just building cars behind closed doors, they’ll be overtaken by other bases out there sooner or later.

Thinking so, Fang Chengwu planned to find Chu Jiangyue’s group to gauge the situation.

*

Back at the base’s entrance, only after everyone brought by Song Chengjun had come out did he speak: "Let’s go, we’ll take a walk around here."

Having located the L City Base, their mission was considered complete for now.

Next, they only needed to promote Jianglin Hotel in the L City Safe Base to make the locals aware of and believe in its existence.

To promote Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue made a significant investment, using 1 Gold Coin to trade with Little Fox for an upgraded Jianglin Hotel flyer.

As the group walked toward the trading area of L City Safe Base, Chu Jiangyue flipped her hand, and a stack of flyers appeared in her grasp.

"Boss Chu plans to distribute flyers?"

Upon seeing this, Song Chengjun recognized them as the Jianglin Hotel flyers Chu Jiangyue had used before, but he quickly noticed something different and looked at her.

"Boss Chu, what’s going on?"

"After so long, isn’t a small upgrade reasonable?"

The main reason was that L City was too far from Jianglin Hotel. If someone wanted to travel from the base to the hotel, the previous 3-day limit wasn’t quite enough for those unaccustomed to long journeys.

So Chu Jiangyue had Little Fox change the time from 3 days to 7 days.

"An upgrade?"

Song Chengjun picked up a flyer to examine it, "To what extent has it upgraded?"
