Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 149
So as long as they enter Jianglin Hotel, Chu Jiangyue can ensure that everyone will be the most favored,
but watching the approaching mutants, Chu Jiangyue’s mood grew heavier by the moment.
"Hold tight."
Shen Zhigui spoke up, then switched to full-speed mode.
The people in the cars behind also noticed the mutant rats, and they all started to speed up.
Thirty-six vehicles sped across the snow, and Chu Jiangyue instructed Little Fox to keep an eye on the distance between their last car and the mutant rats.
Little Fox knew this was not the time for jokes and agreed with Chu Jiangyue seriously, standing on her shoulder, constantly monitoring the distance between the mutant rats and the last car.
But when misfortunes come, they never come singly.
Just as their speed was maintaining a relative balance with the mutant rats, unexpectedly, some of the rats suddenly took to the air.
The mutant rats had grown a pair of fleshy wings similar to those of bats on their backs.
Chu Jiangyue cursed inwardly; this was simply one trouble after another.
"Oh my god! The rats have taken flight!"
Others in the car also saw the flying rats, and some showed fear on their faces.
"There are rats that can fly!"
What kind of mutation direction was this, considering the rats’ mutation compared to the ratio of humans awakening superpowers, it was beyond tragic.
"Everyone, don’t be afraid, our defense capabilities are still adequate, don’t worry about the rats breaking through."
Though the cars couldn’t block mutant animals or plants, their defense was still remarkably good.
"Boss Chu, we boarded the car because of your black card, you need to be responsible for our safety!"
Some who obstructed the path earlier were now clinging tightly to Chu Jiangyue, hoping she would be responsible for their safety upon seeing the Flying Rats.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t give a definite answer. In the apocalypse, there was no such thing as someone being responsible for another’s safety; everyone was looking out for themselves.
She had already been exceedingly kind by giving out brochures and letting them ride for free.
Expecting her to guarantee their safety, not even capitalists were as exploitative.
Shen Zhigui’s foot was already pressed completely on the accelerator, leaving no room for further acceleration.
The Flying Rats were incredibly fast, and it wasn’t long before they caught up to the last car.
Some landed on the roof, others hit the windows.
This time they picked up everyone from the shelter, and aside from the two cars driven by Chu Jiangyue and Xie Silin, the remaining 34 were all allocated to the elderly, women, and children.
The cars were attacked by Flying Rats, and the elderly and children inside hugged each other tightly, faces full of panic.
Some with timid natures were already crying out loud, "boo hoo."
The others in the car felt uneasy seeing this, but the Flying Rats were too fast to outpace them even with the accelerator to the floor.
And the number of mutant rats was too overwhelming for anyone to even consider stopping and confronting them head-on.
Otherwise, if targeted by mutant rats, it wouldn’t be long before they’d be reduced to just a skeleton.
And the kind with not a morsel of flesh left on the bones.
Despite the situation looking grim right now, as long as everyone persisted without getting out of the cars, keeping on driving forward, the crisis would resolve once they reached Jianglin Hotel.
Chu Jiangyue shared this news in the group she had with Shen Zhigui and others, then separately messaged Rong Zhaowen.
As for the others, Chu Jiangyue trusted Rong Zhaowen to relay the information to all his teammates.
Once the Flying Rats caught up with the last vehicle, they soon caught up with the cars ahead.
Even Chu Jiangyue’s silver off-road vehicle was no exception.
Sitting inside the car, Chu Jiangyue could distinctly feel the increasing intensity of shaking due to the Flying Rats’ constant hits on the vehicle body.
"At this rate, the car is bound to be wrecked eventually, right?"
Those who hadn’t been to Jianglin Hotel still viewed cars as they were before the apocalypse.
Under such consistent impact strength, any ordinary car from before the apocalypse would have already been scrapped.
"Guests needn’t worry; the car will have no problems, as long as we keep going to the hotel, these dangers will all be resolved."
Jianglin Hotel’s protective shield is not just for show.
Hearing Chu Jiangyue constantly promoting Jianglin Hotel in her words made some half-skeptical.
After all, from start to finish, apart from a brochure, everything was hearsay without firsthand experience.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..."
The Flying Rats continued their assaults for a long stretch, failing to achieve the desired effect, showing signs of abandoning this effort.
However, with the Flying Rats leaving, they were replaced by tens of thousands of mutant rats.
If the original rats, when fully grown, were about the length of a human’s forearm, and the bigger, fatter ones could be as large as a kitten,
the mutant rats now appearing each reached the height of a human’s calf.
Even Chu Jiangyue couldn’t help but feel her scalp tingling at the sight.
Shen Zhigui was focused on driving and didn’t notice Chu Jiangyue’s emotional shift.
But Chu Jiangyue quickly adapted, and with just a fleeting moment, she was no longer bothered by the dense swarm of mutant rats.
Nonetheless, since the swarm was beneath the cars, driving forward caused obvious sways.
Shen Zhigui showed no compassion, his foot pressed fully down on the accelerator; as long as mutant rats dared come under the vehicle, they were simply crushed through.
"I wonder if these mutant rats have Crystal Cores like zombies do in their heads."
Chu Jiangyue had a sudden curious thought as she watched the dense swarm of mutant rats outside, covering the snow entirely.
Even Shen Zhigui, due to Chu Jiangyue’s remark, eased off the accelerator slightly.
Fortunately, he quickly adjusted and continued pressing down on the pedal.
"Last time the wolves had Crystal Cores in their heads, so these mutant rats likely have them too."
Shen Zhigui thought that regardless of whether it was zombies, mutated animals, mutated plants, or superpower users, they all probably possessed Crystal Cores.
So far, they had only extracted Crystal Cores from zombies and mutated animals.
The lethality of mutated plants was too high, so they hadn’t dared provoke them yet.
Moreover, they hadn’t encountered any deceased superpower users yet, so this couldn’t be proven.
"It’s a pity there are so many of them; otherwise, we could get down and pick up a few Crystal Cores."
Even though Chu Jiangyue wasn’t financially reliant on Crystal Cores, who would complain about having too much money?
"When we return to Jianglin Hotel, if they refuse to leave, we can kill a few inside the hotel."
Shen Zhigui conversationed calmly with Chu Jiangyue while driving.
The mutant rats had completely covered all the cars of their convoy, and from a distance, only 36 vehicles crawling with mutant rats could be seen.
An image unbearable for those with trypophobia.
Luckily, the navigator’s long arrow automatically rose above the mutant rats when they approached.
Shen Zhigui just had to blindly follow the navigator’s arrow forward, and everything would be fine.
