Chapter 99 Balance
Not long after seeing the two off, Wang Xiao received a message from Wei Yan.
"Boss, Mr. Qin sent someone to say that he will arrive at the hotel later."
"Okay, I understand. I will personally receive the Qin Group. Also, contact other forces as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Centered around the Peace Hotel, most factions choose to establish their presence near it in order to obtain information about things like Night Abyss Dream as soon as possible.
This made it relatively easy for Wei Yan to contact them.
After all, if we're talking about the safest place in Jinshi right now, they can't think of any other place besides the Peace Hotel.
As long as the Peace Hotel and Wang Xiao remain, the area can maintain a certain level of order.
At least on the surface, no one would be foolish enough to choose to have a conflict break out around the Peace Hotel!
Unless they are willing to face the Peace Hotel's security department, the large number of employed survivors, and Wang Xiao's possible personal greeting at any time.
Maintaining restraint around the Peace Hotel has become one of the tacit rules among the surrounding forces.
Only a very small number of teams seeking a large number of points will risk approaching the city center in order to gain more rewards.
The Qin Group, led by Qin Huai'an, is one of them.
According to the latest information collected by Wei Yan, the total number of people in the Qin Group has exceeded 200, and the number of people with special abilities is nearly 10.
Therefore, the number of people the Qin Group is willing to mobilize for this operation will be particularly crucial.
As for whether the Qin Group would refuse to participate in this operation, Wang Xiao was not worried.
In Wang Xiao's view, unless Qin Huai'an was willing to give up Jinshi, there was no reason to let a bunch of insects jump around on his territory.
This time, however, the hotel may have to invest a lot of resources.
As for whether Qin Huai'an would take action against the hotel after his power grew, Wang Xiao was not worried.
In terms of combat capability, Wang Xiao did not believe that the Peace Hotel was weaker than the Qin Group.
Currently, there are nearly 13 people with special abilities staying at the hotel, 10 of whom have chosen to cooperate closely with the hotel.
If the Qin Group dares to touch the Peace Hotel, it will be tantamount to declaring war on all those whose interests are tied to the hotel.
Even if the Qin Group wins in the end, the consequences will be beyond their ability to bear.
After all, in terms of high-end combat power, the intimidation Yue Man alone was enough to give them a hard time.
Not to mention, once the biological research platform is unlocked and the hotel finds a way to enable ordinary people to become ability users, the combat power of the Security Department and the Search Department will experience explosive growth with the support of the equipment.
However, the search team has suffered heavy losses, and it will undoubtedly be difficult to restore its combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
Relying on Xiong Sanzhuang alone is ultimately too much of a strain.
In terms of leading others, Xiong Sanzhuang was ultimately no match for Xue Wu.
Since Xue Wu took over the security department, with the help of his capable wife Zhao Yajun, he has been able to handle things quite well, without Wang Xiao having to worry about him much.
At least, he won't have to make the trip himself like he did this time.
Wang Xiao stood up, looked out the window, and muttered to himself, "Perhaps it's time to make contact with some of the ability users in the hotel..."
Time flies.
Wang Xiao received a reward for finding the missing person.
Although the final reward was greatly reduced due to the sacrifice of three search team members, it still allowed Wang Xiao to successfully advance to level seven.
[Host]: Wang Xiao.
[Current Level]: 7 (Current Experience Points: 52/1500)
[Strength]: 27.0 + 0.7 (Swift Shadow Combat Suit)
[Agility]: 22+1.7
[Constitution]: 22+1.8
【Spirit】: 17.1
[Currently available attribute points: 3]
Judging from the ability value panel provided by the system, his combat power has far surpassed that of Yue Man, Qin Huai'an, and other naturally awakened ability users.
This is also the main reason why he is not worried about the surrounding forces growing stronger and thus threatening the hotel.
Wang Xiao's confidence stemmed from his formidable strength.
Therefore, Wang Xiao attaches great importance to the safety of the hotel.
Any attempt to harm the Peace Hotel would be nipped in the bud by him.
The insect swarm is dangerous, but Wang Xiao is confident that he can completely eliminate it in one fell swoop before it fully develops.
night.
The vehicles from the Qin Group arrived at the hotel as scheduled.
As the hotel owner, Wang Xiao personally came downstairs to greet them.
Peace Hotel should show sufficient respect to an excellent partner like the Qin Group, after all, they will need their help in the future...
Seeing Qin Huai'an get out of the car, Wang Xiao stepped forward with a smile and greeted him, "President Qin."
Qin Huai'an returned the greeting, saying, "Boss Wang, why did you have to come all this way?"
Wang Xiao replied with a smile, "The Qin Group is currently our hotel's only partner. How could our hotel possibly neglect Mr. Qin's arrival?"
Qin Huai'an shook his head helplessly and said, "After receiving your message, I had my men compile the relevant information and were preparing to send someone to communicate with your hotel to confirm."
Unfortunately, the information was too mixed and its authenticity was questionable, which caused some delay.
We didn't expect that you would contact us before we even had a chance to reach out.
Wang Xiao's smile faded, and his expression turned serious. "President Qin, I think it's getting late. Perhaps we could go inside and find a quiet meeting room to discuss the specific details?"
Qin Huai'an understood and said, "Okay."
Upon entering the hotel, both teams went straight to the sixth floor.
The meeting was very efficient, and both sides confirmed the existence of the door based on the information provided by the other.
The Qin Group gained a deeper understanding of the insects, and the hotel also confirmed with the Qin Hotel that the "doors" were not only appearing in the power maintenance center, but had also spread to other more distant locations, but fortunately the doors were not too far apart.
The main area of concentration remains the area near the power maintenance center.
This is still a good thing for the survivors in the entire Chenghua District.
At the same time, this news also led Wei Yan, a talent who is striving to become an "all-rounder," to make some new speculations about the "gate," but it will take some time to verify the conclusions.
After Wang Xiao understood his meaning, he gave him tremendous support, allowing him to conduct his research without restraint.
After careful confirmation, three doors were found within the Qin Group alone.
This means that the number of insects may be far greater than they imagined.
When Wang Xiao proposed the idea of taking the initiative, the two strongest forces in Chenghua District reached an unprecedented consensus.
This time, unlike the time with the zombie horde, we were forced to cooperate.
This cooperation is the result of careful consideration by both parties, who believe it is in their own best interest.
Just as Wang Xiao had predicted, Qin Huai'an would not easily abandon Jin City.
Just as Qin Huai'an had predicted, Wang Xiao would take the initiative to ensure the development and safety of the Peace Hotel.
Both of them maintained an unwavering and uncompromising attitude towards the things they cared about.
The appearance of the insects infringed upon their interests, so cooperation became a matter of course.
However, Qin Huai'an's attitude became somewhat ambiguous when it came to uniting with other forces, but in the end he still indicated that he could try to talk about it for Wang Xiao's sake.
This made Wang Xiao sense something different.
The meeting lasted until late at night before finally coming to an end.
Night was falling.
The lights of the Peace Hotel offered a rare sense of security to the survivors gathered around.
As long as the Peace Hotel remains open, everything is at least safe for now.
Power has not yet been restored, but one of the generators, which was salvaged from the Yinghua Hotel, is now operational thanks to the tireless efforts of the electricians.
It can meet the basic needs of the hotel, such as lighting and kitchen cold storage.
Wang Xiao stood by the window on the third floor, gazing in the direction of the Chenghua District Power Maintenance Center, his cigarette burning down to its last puff.
Just then, Wei Yan knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss, aren't you taking a break yet?"
Wei Yan's voice came from behind him. He walked into the room carrying a cup of hot tea, looking exhausted.
Wang Xiao took the hot tea, took a sip, and said, "I can't sleep!"
Wei Yan asked, "Is it because of today's meeting?"
Wang Xiao said, "I think so. You know, I'm not surprised that Qin Huai'an decided to participate in this cooperation."
I'm more concerned about Qin Huai'an's attitude towards other forces today.
If I'm not mistaken, Qin Huai'an intends to absorb the other forces in Chenghua District...
Wei Yan realized what was happening and said, "Wouldn't that be detrimental to our hotel?"
Wang Xiao said with a deep look in his eyes, "Therefore, just in case, we can't let the Qin Group continue to dominate!"
Hopefully, some worthwhile factions will emerge during this campaign against the Zerg swarm.
Running a hotel in the apocalypse is neither particularly difficult nor easy.
At the very least, besides the zombie buddies occasionally dropping by, there are always unexpected incidents happening one after another.
How to balance the surrounding forces has now become a new problem that Wang Xiao needs to consider every day.
Tomorrow is unpredictable; every day is an unknown.
This might feel hopeless to others, but for Wang Xiao, every day after the apocalypse is full of challenging fun.
It was precisely because he was never one to follow the rules that he chose a thankless job that allowed him to fly all over the country.
Perhaps the phrase "can't sit still" perfectly describes someone like him.
