Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise

Buchuan Kucha was truly suffering terribly.

However, the people around him were extremely excited.

After all, besides silver items and garlic, they had discovered another powerful weapon against vampires.

Its power was even greater than silver items!

Plus, carbonated drinks were quite cheap at the hotel.

"Boss, from now on, if we each carry two bottles of this drink with us, we won't have to fear vampires anymore!" Jerry exclaimed excitedly.

"Mm-hmm." Tom nodded.

However, Gu Wanyin felt that things weren't so simple.

Recently, people could indeed use carbonated drinks to effectively fight against vampires.

But unlike zombies, vampires were intelligent creatures.

Over time, once vampires learned that carbonated drinks could harm them, they would surely devise countermeasures, like wearing protective clothing...

Of course, she wasn't the only one who had thought of this.

"What if vampires prepare themselves and wear something to block the drinks?"

"Yeah, then splashing the drinks on them would be useless."

Tom thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, having an extra weapon is always a good thing."

It was better than having nothing at all, right?

If vampires had to wear protective clothing or other gear, it might even restrict their movements.

"Manager Gu, the carbonated drinks won't increase in price, will they?" a guest asked nervously.

"Of course not," Gu Wanyin smiled. "I won't take advantage of the situation like that."

The demand for carbonated drinks would surely be enormous in the coming days.

She could make plenty of profit without raising prices.

"Boss, what should we do with Buchuan Kucha?" Jerry asked.

If they kept him in the underground prison, they would have to keep spending points.

Eighty points per day! More expensive than their room rates.

"Well, there's no use keeping him anymore," Tom nodded and said.

They had tried almost everything they could think of these past few days, and finally discovered that vampires were afraid of carbonated drinks.

Now that Buchuan Kucha had been tortured to this state, it was time to end it quickly.

"You're going to kill me?" Buchuan Kucha said painfully, "You've already done this to me, and you still want to kill me? Do you have any humanity?"

Jerry walked over, stepped on his face, and said coldly, "Do we need humanity for vampires like you?"

Buchuan Kucha's eyes darted around desperately, finally landing on Gu Wanyin.

As if seeing hope, he shouted, "Please save me! I know they all listen to you. Are you really going to watch them kill me? If you save me, I'll do anything you want!"

Everyone else looked at Gu Wanyin.

Gu Wanyin smiled helplessly and said, "I've told you before, I'm just a businessperson. My job is to ensure guests' safety in the hotel. Beyond that, don't look to me."

"But I can do business with you too! I can buy things from your store!"

"I only do business with humans."

Although Gu Wanyin felt that Buchuan Kucha looked quite pitiful now.

But weren't the people killed by Buchuan Kucha even more pitiful?

Weren't the humans whose homes were invaded by vampires even more pitiful?

Besides, she couldn't save him anyway.

She couldn't even save humans outside, let alone vampires.

Before Buchuan Kucha could say anything more, Jerry struck fiercely, stabbing a knife into his heart.

She used a silver dagger bought from the hotel.

Black blood instantly gushed out, Buchuan Kucha's eyes widened, and his body kept trembling.

After a few seconds, his head drooped lifelessly, and his entire body quickly shriveled up.

This was what happened when vampires died.

"Buchuan Kucha is dead," a guest muttered.

"This is justice! I heard several of my neighbors were killed by him!"

"How should we dispose of the body?" Jerry turned to ask Tom.

Tom stared at Buchuan Kucha's corpse for a while, then suddenly smiled coldly and said, "Find something to wrap him up, then give him to me. I'll handle it."

Jerry was stunned for a moment but didn't ask further questions and did as Tom said.

Soon, Buchuan Kucha's body was wrapped up, and Tom left the hotel with two other members of his team, carrying the body.

The news that carbonated drinks could fight vampires quickly spread throughout the hotel.

Duke Bobby was extremely anxious and immediately had his subordinates buy many carbonated drinks, fearing they would be sold out.

Even though Eugene tried to convince him that the hotel seemed to have plenty of supplies, and Gu Wanyin had said the hotel items were constantly restocked, he still didn't believe it and had people buy five hundred bottles, all piled up in his presidential suite.

Gu Wanyin couldn't be bothered to intervene.

She had said what needed to be said, but this person wouldn't believe her.

If he wanted to buy, let him buy. She could earn more points anyway.

"Ding! New task unlocked: Sell one hundred bottles of carbonated drinks. Rewards: Unlock ten more super fertile land plots; Unlock unlimited silver long swords; Unlock one grocery shop; Host unlocks one strength pill."

The system didn't need to explain these rewards; their meanings were clear from the descriptions.

The strength pill would be quite useful.

However...

"System, why didn't you tell me before Eugene bought those five hundred bottles?" Gu Wanyin stroked the little squirrel's head and said glumly, "I could have completed my task in one go!"

"I couldn't help it," the system shrugged helplessly. "The task list just refreshed! Even I didn't know what the task would be before the list refreshed."

"It's fine though."

Gu Wanyin sat at the front desk and turned her head to see the Bruno siblings buying another bottle of cola.

"Now that all the hotel guests know carbonated drinks can fight vampires, they'll definitely sell very quickly..."

Tom and his team dumped Buchuan Kucha's body in a wasteland.

This wasteland was far from the hotel.

He didn't know about the hotel's special protective mechanism and feared causing trouble for the hotel, so he ran to a place far from the hotel to dispose of Buchuan Kucha's body.

He knew that vampires would definitely discover this corpse.

This was his provocation to the vampires.

He wanted the vampires to know that humanity's counterattack was about to begin.

As he expected, vampires soon discovered Buchuan Kucha's body, recognized his identity, and brought the corpse to Buchuan Wa Zi.

When Buchuan Wa Zi saw his brother's corpse, he nearly went insane.

"Kucha! What happened to you, Kucha! My Kucha—"

He lay on Buchuan Kucha's corpse, wailing loudly.

"Kucha, how could you leave your brother behind! Who dared to do this, and torture you into this state!"
