She returned to her hotel room, which was already piled high with items.
She had previously informed the front desk to send the delivery to her room, so the door was open, and the items were brought in.
At this point, the table, floor, and bed in the room were all covered with things, including several pieces of hot fried chicken.
Li Chenxi waved her hand and stored everything into her space.
She decided to spend the night here and leave the next day. She wasn't going to waste the money she spent.
Before going to bed, Li Chenxi did three hours of physical training, pushing herself to the limit before taking a shower. Then she checked the surveillance footage of her bunker and warehouse to prepare for sleep.
Everything looked fine on both fronts. She spoke a few words to Summer through the video robot, instructing it to keep an eye on things and that she would return early the next morning.
Summer responded very humanely and obediently stayed in the warehouse's doghouse, keeping watch over the items.
Li Chenxi slept at the hotel until 6 a.m. the next day.
She was awakened by the blaring sirens of police and ambulances.
She was staying in a downtown hotel with excellent soundproofing, but she was extremely sensitive and could wake up at the slightest disturbance.
Upon hearing the sirens, she immediately rushed to the window.
Pulling aside the curtains, she saw numerous police cars and ambulances on the street below.
Her hotel was not far from a densely populated area of bars and entertainment venues, and these emergency vehicles were coming and going from there.
She saw an ambulance parked in front of the bar she had seen the day before, from which several bloodied individuals were being carried out.
A troubling thought crossed her mind...
At that moment, she heard running footsteps and urgent knocking at her door.
Li Chenxi grabbed a shovel and walked towards the door. Peering through the peephole, she saw hotel staff outside.
The staff appeared nervous but showed no signs of injury or blood, and their faces were normal.
"What's the matter?"
"Miss, I'm from the housekeeping department. We've received reports from many guests about fainting and needing help. Are you okay?"
Li Chenxi replied through the door, "I'm fine."
"Please stay in your room for now. The hotel will extend your check-out time for free. Sorry for the disturbance!"
The housekeeper said, then moved on to the next room.
At this moment, Li Chenxi's nerves were on edge.
It seemed like the apocalypse might have come early!
She needed to leave immediately!
Li Chenxi immediately grabbed her car keys and left the hotel, making sure to take with her all the complimentary water, drinks, and toiletries from the room.
As she pushed open the door to leave, she saw the housekeeper had reached the farthest room. After knocking several times, the housekeeper used a room key to open the door.
By the time Li Chenxi saw this, the housekeeper had already gone inside.
Soon, she heard an urgent voice.
“Sir! Sir, what's wrong?”
“Room 809, a guest has fainted, quick, come!”
The staff called for help using their earpieces. Li Chenxi quickly headed for the elevator, ignoring the situation.
She couldn't afford to care!
The most important thing now was that this was the early stage of a virus outbreak.
She needed to leave the city before anyone realized what was happening!
As she entered an empty elevator going down, the adjacent elevator going up also opened.
A group of staff members emerged from the elevator, rushing toward the inner rooms.
When the elevator doors closed in front of Li Chenxi, she heard a piercing scream.
“Ah——”
As the scream erupted, Li Chenxi decisively pressed the button for the 5th floor!
She bypassed the lobby on the 1st floor!
The hotel was connected to a large shopping mall.
The 2nd floor down to the 5th floor above ground is a big shopping mall, the same one that Li Chenxi shopped at yesterday!
The time now was six o'clock, and the mall was closed.
The earliest group of employees to enter will not arrive until eight o'clock.
So now the mall area is really no man's land!
The most dangerous thing about zombies is the crowd!
To escape from the crowd!
Li Chenxi decisively went downstairs at the 5th floor.
As she expected, the fifth floor of the mall is dark at the moment.
There were no lights on at all!
But after she entered the 5th floor lobby, she could clearly hear someone screaming outside!
She glanced out the window, and sure enough there was already a riot on the streets.
With her own eyes, she saw a man covered in blood rush out from inside a bar on a nearby street and pounce on a passing woman who was a morning jogger.
He lunged straight for the woman's stomach, and after he fell, he tore at her with his mouth.
The woman howled in pain, but couldn't stop the man from tearing her internal organs, he bit his face with blood, his bloody mouth swallowed the woman's heart and lungs like a beast.
“Ah--”
“Ah--”
At seven in the morning, there weren't many people downtown, only police cars and 120 were working.
A police car immediately stopped to drag and stop the man after seeing what happened.
And the woman who was rescued collapsed in a pool of blood, when no one was looking, her hands and feet began to twitch, the frequency of twitching accelerated a few times after that, she suddenly did not move.
“Miss, miss, you're still-”
“Ow-”
The woman suddenly opened her gray, lifeless eyes and bit down on the person who came to her rescue with a large mouth.
The scene was an instant mess!
Li Chenxi watched the scene from the fifth floor window.
This is the apocalypse.
The apocalypse she knows best!
And it's come a day earlier than expected.
Welcome to the doomsday era.
Li Chenxi turned and rushed to the 5th floor.
She planned to use the escalator to descend to the B2 parking garage, avoiding all elevators!
As she ran through the deserted mall, the array of goods in front of her caught her attention.
Supplies!
How could she leave an armory like this empty-handed?
She had to take everything with her!
At that moment, a voice echoed in her mind.
“Ding—Super Base System activated!”
“Limited time of 2 hours. For every 10,000 yuan worth of goods collected, you will receive one cubic meter of personal space!”
Li Chenxi, holding a baseball bat: “!!!”
Divine assistance indeed!
With a crash, the glass in front of her shattered.
Li Chenxi dashed in, spreading her arms wide. Anything she touched disappeared into her space!
At this moment, she didn’t care if the surveillance cameras caught her.
Because, honestly, it didn’t matter anymore!
It's the apocalypse; who the hell is still monitoring the cameras to check on things?
“Ding—Detected 279 pieces of fashionable women's clothing, worth 650,000 yuan. Reward: 65 cubic meters!”
“Ding—Detected 144 pieces of fashionable men's clothing, worth 580,000 yuan. Reward: 58 cubic meters!”
“Ding—Detected 489 pieces of brand wedding dresses, worth 1,890,000 yuan. Reward: 189 cubic meters!”
Men's clothing, women’s clothing, children's wear, underwear, shoes, bags, wedding dresses—
Li Chenxi wanted it all!
And this loot was so much more satisfying than her first move!
Even if her previous home was spotless, it only had a small amount of stuff. This time, the rewards were off the charts!
Every store she raided was worth tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands!
She would plunder them all, leaving each place as clean as possible!
