Han Kexin was, after all, an executive secretary.
She was a seasoned professional.
Not only was she quick to adapt, but she also spoke with tact and precision.
Just then, an armored vehicle passed by. A voice barked out from the loudspeaker:
"Everyone, please return home immediately."
"Do not loiter on the streets, or we will forcibly remove you."
"Repeating once again…"
Xiao Yu tossed away his cigarette and said, "Let's go. We'll check into two rooms at Jinhu Hotel to rest up. We'll head out again tonight."
Only with proper rest could they stay sharp.
"Captain, Charlie booked the presidential suite at Jinhu Hotel," Han Kexin said. "Now that he's become a Zombie and you've killed him, we can just move in."
Damn.
Not bad. He'd never stayed in a presidential suite before.
"The room key is in his car. I'll go get it."
Barefoot, Han Kexin ran back, retrieved her shoes by the roadside, slipped them on, and climbed into Charlie's sports car.
With a roar, the supercar sped to Xiao Yu.
"Captain, Xiaoran, hop in. Let's drive straight to Jinhu Hotel."
It was a four-seater.
Plenty of room for the three of them.
…
Jinhu Hotel – Presidential Suite, Supreme Glamour Edition.
The interior was lavishly decorated in gold.
One master bedroom and one guest room.
"You two take the guest room. I'll take the master."
Naturally, Xiao Yu wasn't going to be polite.
Han Kexin, ever the considerate one, immediately poured him a glass of water. "Captain, have some water. I'll go move my luggage from the other room."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Weren't you Charlie's secretary? Why were you in a separate room?"
Han Kexin understood what he meant right away.
A secretary and a general manager—that's already an ambiguous pairing.
And staying at a hotel together?
Even if nothing happened, people would assume otherwise.
"Captain, I'm actually Charlie's mother's secretary. I came back with him to assist with investments."
"It's just that…"
She didn't need to finish.
The more you explain, the more it sounds suspicious.
"Alright. Go grab your things. I need some rest. Wake me when it gets dark."
"Xiaoran, you should rest too."
Both had spent a lot of mental energy today. They'd need to stay up all night for their next operation, so recovery was crucial.
Three hours flew by.
Night fell.
Han Kexin woke up Xiao Yu and An Xiaoran. On the table sat three boxes of braised pork self-heating meals.
"Captain, Xiaoran gave me these earlier."
"The whole city's under lockdown, and the hotel has limited options. Please make do."
No doubt about it—
Former secretaries were incredibly attentive.
Xiao Yu was pleased with Han Kexin.
"Kexin, thank you for your effort."
Han Kexin smiled lightly. She was a smart woman. Just being recognized by Xiao Yu was more than enough for her.
After a simple meal, the three left the hotel.
The city hadn't quieted with nightfall.
Police sirens and sporadic gunfire echoed in the distance, signaling that more people were turning.
"Xiao Yu, the hotel's sealed off," An Xiaoran said.
She pointed to the opposite side of the bridge. Under the dim streetlights, four armed soldiers had already set up a checkpoint.
It was expected.
The whole city was under lockdown. As a five-star hotel, Jinhu wouldn't be spared.
"Don't worry. Follow me."
The three of them approached the bridge.
"Halt!"
"The city is under lockdown. Please return to the hotel immediately."
One of the soldiers, holding a rifle, blocked their path.
Xiao Yu smiled faintly.
He casually pulled out an ID and handed it over. "I'm from higher up. I've got urgent business to attend to."
The soldier took the ID but didn't get a chance to read it before his eyes lost focus.
A moment later—
He handed the ID back and turned to his comrades. "These people are top-level personnel. Let them through."
Xiao Yu led the trio past the checkpoint without a hitch.
"Whoa, Xiao Yu! When did we become 'top-level personnel'?" An Xiaoran asked, still dazed.
Xiao Yu had only flashed a driver's license for show. In truth, he'd used Mental Enchantment to control the soldier.
"I'll explain later."
He pulled out his phone and opened Qiandu Navigation, entering: 'S City Xinxing Slaughterhouse.'
[Qiandu Navigation at your service.]
[Destination: Xinxing Slaughterhouse. Distance: 8 km. Please make a U-turn at the dashed line ahead.]
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu summoned the supercar from his Space Warehouse.
"Hurry, get in."
"Tonight, we're hitting the slaughterhouse only."
Slaughterhouses had massive cold storage rooms packed with fresh meat—one of the most precious resources in the apocalypse.
Right now, S City had only just entered lockdown.
The meat hadn't been distributed yet. He had to stash it in his Space Warehouse before anyone else got to it.
The engine roared as the car spun around and sped off into the night.
At Jinhu Bridge, a soldier asked, "Captain, what level were those three leaders just now? They looked way too young."
The officer frowned, deep in thought.
He couldn't recall their identities. All he knew was that they were important people sent from above.
He felt embarrassed.
He hadn't even checked the ID properly.
Can't let the troops find out.
"Too many questions," he barked.
"They're high-level. Confidential. Don't ask what you don't need to know."
