Chapter 89 Something's happened!
7 p.m.
Peace Hotel.
The production of the Swift Shadow combat suit has already been completed.
The complete combat uniform consists of a jacket, trousers, underwear, combat boots, and a wristwatch.
The main body is black, with some dark blue lines. The style is also quite similar to the clothing worn by characters in a movie called "Genesis" that Wang Xiao once watched.
However, compared to the clothing inside, the Swift Shadow combat suit is more three-dimensional, with more armored parts, and has a strong overall sense of technology.
If this were before the apocalypse, and someone wore this outfit to a comic convention, Wang Xiao guaranteed that person would definitely be the most eye-catching person at the convention.
But now, compared to its good looks, Wang Xiao cares more about its performance.
After changing his clothes, Wang Xiao began to change according to the instructions.
As Wang Xiao put on the combat watch, the entire combat suit could automatically shrink and expand according to his body size.
The perfect fit far surpassed any clothes Wang Xiao had ever worn.
Wang Xiao tried to move his body and did not feel any discomfort, which fully met his exercise needs during high-intensity combat.
At the same time, Wang Xiao noticed something resembling a progress bar appearing on the surface of his combat watch.
"We are conducting a deep adaptation test based on the wearer's physical condition. Please continue to wear the device during this period."
Looking at the prompt above, Wang Xiao didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he used the internal communicator to inquire about the situation of Wei Yan's search team.
"Wei Yan, has the search team returned?"
"Boss, no."
"What was your original plan for returning to the hotel?"
"Return to the hotel before 5 p.m. to report the situation."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao glanced at his phone.
It is now 7:15.
It's already been two hours past the scheduled time.
Given Xiong Sanzhuang's strength, it shouldn't have taken this long.
"This is a problem..."
Wang Xiao felt a headache coming on, and then said in a deep voice, "Call Xue Wu to the third floor."
"Yes."
The hotel is just getting on track. Of the various departments, only the security department has been officially established. The other departments are still in the process of being set up.
If the search team encounters trouble on its first official mission, it will certainly not be good news for the hotel.
Shortly after Wang Xiao returned to his guest room on the third floor, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
With permission granted, Xue Wu nervously entered the house. As soon as he entered, he noticed that Wang Xiao had changed his clothes.
Seeing Wang Xiao's serious expression, he wisely refrained from asking further questions and respectfully replied, "Boss."
Wang Xiao nodded and explained the reason for summoning him: "Wei Yan should have mentioned the search team to you. Xiong Sanzhuang is an ability user. He hasn't returned for so long, so something must have happened to him."
The search team is still being assembled and can't just disappear like that, so I'm going out for a walk in a bit.
"While I'm away from the hotel, I need you to gather the security department and keep an eye on the hotel for me, understand?"
This time, Wang Xiao did not use a tone of negotiation, but directly issued an indisputable order to Xue Wu.
Upon hearing this, Xue Wu immediately replied with a serious expression, "Understood!"
The last time he saw Wang Xiao with such a serious expression was when they faced a zombie horde attack at the hotel.
The time before that, Yang Hua led a group to cause trouble at the hotel.
Every time Wang Xiao showed such a serious expression, it usually meant that something big was about to happen.
After giving Xue Wu his instructions, Wang Xiao knocked on Yue Man's door.
"Click."
As the door opened, Yue Man said helplessly, "Boss Wang, it's this late... can't you let someone get some rest?"
Wang Xiao got straight to the point: "I have to go out right away. The security department will be in charge of the hotel's safety, but I don't trust them to handle it alone. Please keep an eye on things for me."
Yue Man asked, "Is it in a hurry?"
Wang Xiao said seriously, "Something might have happened to the hotel's search team. I have to go there."
Yue Man recalled, "The search team... I remember the leader was that ability user named Xiong Sanzhuang, wasn't he?"
"Yes."
Understanding the seriousness of the matter, Yue Man nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. Just don't forget to add more money."
Seeing that this person was recently showing a tendency to become a lay Buddhist who charges more money, Wang Xiao was speechless.
"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged."
The mission "Find the Missing Employee" has been issued.
[Mission Description: Seven hotel staff members who were ordered to go out to search lost contact with the hotel during the mission.]
As the hotel owner, after careful analysis, you believe that the hotel may encounter unforeseen circumstances.
As the owner of a perfect hotel, you cannot allow such a major blunder in your performance.
[Mission Objective: Locate the seven missing employees of the Peace Hotel.]
[Task progress: 0/7]
[Task Rewards: Calculated based on the number of employees recovered.]
After briefly explaining things to Wei Yan, Wang Xiao rode a motorcycle and left the hotel.
The loud roar echoed through the street, instantly attracting the attention of many people.
At this time of year, especially at night, to dare to make such a commotion, one must either be truly powerful or be courting death!
With the mindset of watching the drama unfold, many people couldn't resist standing by the window or door to take a peek.
After discovering that Wang Xiao was the one who caused the disturbance, everyone felt relieved.
While admiring Wang Xiao's strength, some people naturally noticed the change in his clothing...
the other side.
The search team, whose retreat was hampered by the worm-like zombies and black insects, was hiding in a hardware store.
One of the underlings complained, "These bedbugs are like damn plasters, you just can't shake them off!"
"Brother Xiong, what do we do next? The area is full of mutated zombies. If this continues, we'll all be trapped here and die."
"How about I lure them away? I'm fast! Maybe I'll get lucky and survive?"
Listening to the discussion, Xiong Sanzhuang also felt a terrible headache.
The zombies that have been parasitized by the black insects are extremely difficult to deal with; the original zombies could be easily dealt with by simply breaking their heads.
Even smashing his head wouldn't necessarily kill him completely.
To kill the worm-infested zombie, you must destroy its head and kill the black worms inside immediately to prevent its regeneration.
However, since they have no way of confirming the exact location of the parasite, killing it is extremely troublesome.
Just now, they even saw mutated zombies infested with insects.
Mutant zombies were already troublesome, but now they have no weaknesses whatsoever.
As someone with superpowers, he can naturally escape if he wants to.
But these people who had been with him for so long, he still couldn't let them go.
Although Xiong Sanzhuang was a rogue, he wasn't the kind of CS player who would abandon his brothers in the face of danger.
Since he took on the role of "Brother Xiong" and led them to seek refuge at the hotel, there was no reason for him to abandon them halfway and fend for himself.
Even if this world has long since lost its rules!
He also has his own bottom line.
Having made up his mind, Xiong Sanzhuang said in a deep voice, "All of you shut the hell up! If you want to be heroes, I'll be first. When did it become your turn?!"
The henchman who had offered to lead the way quickly said, "Brother Xiong, that's not it..."
Xiong Sanzhuang angrily shouted, "Shut up and listen to what I have to say!"
We've been away from the hotel for so long, the owner should have noticed our situation by now.
Who is our boss?
Do you think he'll just give up on us like this?
Upon hearing this, the group, who had been somewhat desperate, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
They seemed to have forgotten that their boss was not someone who acted according to common sense.
Others might abandon them to minimize their losses, but Wang Xiao might not...
