Chapter 76

Liu Fangzhou was awakened by a sudden noise

Clang clang clang. It was like the sound of some heavy iron trolley wheels rolling on the ground.

The sound was loud, coming from the direction of the hotel corridor, and it could be heard through two doors.

He dazedly opened his eyes and glanced at his watch: two past twelve.

Why are they not sleeping? Are they moving bricks??

He used his ability subconsciously, and was immediately scared: there were people with abilities just outside the suite.

Raising his hand to push Chen Nan who was sleeping next to him, he lowered his voice and said, “Brother Nan, Brother Nan wake up, there are people outside.”

Chen Nan remained motionless, even snoring.

Is he sleeping or dead?

Liu Fangzhou was faintly agitated. After another two pushes, he got out of bed and put on his shoes. He opened the bedroom door and walked quietly to the sofa in the living room. “Brother Tao Yuan, brother Tao Yuan wake up, there are people outside.”

Tao Yuan was also asleep, even if Liu Fangzhou pinched his waist hard, there was no response.

It’s over, it’s over. Liu Fangzhou sighed in his heart, his hands and feet were cold and his mouth was bitter. It was even more bitter when he found that Shen Shian and Shen Xun were not in the bedroom:

What’s going on? Where are brother Shen and brother Xun? Why is he the only one awake?

No, he is not alone, there are a few uninvited guests outside the door.

Alone and helpless in the middle of the night, and with the suite being terribly quiet, the clanging of iron wheels in the corridor became more piercing.

Like a horror episode in a horror movie, whoever is not asleep is unlucky.

The sound of the trolley turned around and stopped at a position diagonally opposite the door. From the movement, it should be in front of the room where the tall, short, and fat trio lived.

Liu Fangzhou gritted his teeth, held his breath, and tiptoed towards the door of the suite.

The door was equipped with a peephole, and the door of room 8005 could be seen.

The hallway lights were dim. There were three people standing in front of the door of room 8005, two tall and one short, with a relaxed posture and look. The short man was humming while holding the handle of the trolley. Two tall men stood at the door of room 8005, one on the left and the other on the right. One of them seemed to be a little impatient, he raised his hand and thumped the door twice. “Hurry up, what are you doing? Just open the door. Finish this quickly so I can go back to sleep early.”

The other one replied, “You move lightly.”

“What are you afraid of? These people are sleeping like pigs at the moment. Even if we use a horn to yell at their ears, they won’t wake up. Are you doubting the Captain’s ability?” He continued, “What about you, Zhao Fan, why isn’t it done?”

A voice came from inside the door, “Wait a little longer, these three people are quite vigilant. They used iron chains and locks, I can’t find the key.”

This voice was not from anyone in the trio. Before Liu Fangzhou could figure out what was going on, he saw a human head popping out of the door of room 8005. “Brother Sun, your strength is great, why don’t you just break the lock here?”

F*ck!

Liu Fangzhou was shocked and had goosebumps all over his body in an instant. He took two steps back in a panic and accidentally knocked down the vase on the wooden cabinet with his arm. He fell on the carpet with a muffled sound.

It was immediately silent outside the door.

“……What was that noise?”

Liu Fangzhou pressed his mouth tightly, his heart beating wildly, and he didn’t even dare to breathe.

“You heard wrong,” Someone said a moment later, “Come and unlock the lock quickly, we will move them quickly after opening.”

With a click, it seemed that the lock was unscrewed, and the chain was pulled down, followed by the sound of the suite door opening. There were footsteps coming in and out, and some heavy objects were moved onto the trolley.

Liu Fangzhou’s rapid heartbeat calmed down a bit. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was quietly relieved: that was dangerous.

He straightened up again and leaned over to the peephole to see what was going on outside the door, which happened to meet a dark eye.

“!!!!!”

Before he could scream, his mouth was covered by a hand and he was dragged out the door. When he recovered, he didn’t know why he was already standing in the corridor.

“Look at what I caught.” The person who covered Liu Fangzhou’s mouth from behind had the same voice with the floating head on the door then. His name seemed to be Zhao Fan, but he was now not a head, but was complete. He dragged Liu Fangzhou to the other three.

“F*ck.” The tall man who thumped the door looked at Liu Fangzhou up and down. “Someone really is not asleep. Is there anyone else in this room awake?”

While talking, he took Liu Fangzhou from Zhao Fan’s hand, covered his mouth with one hand, and twisted his arm behind his back, threatening viciously. “You are not allowed to scream, if you dare, I’ll break your neck.”

He was very strong. Liu Fangzhou had been training with Tao Yuan for some time, so his physical strength was several times stronger than ordinary people, but in his hands he was as immobile as a little chicken.

Scared and in pain, he nodded his head with a blank face.

“Let me see.” Zhao Fan walked back to the door of the suite after speaking and leaned his head——

This time Liu Fangzhou looked carefully. The part of the door that was in contact with Zhao Fan’s body spread to both sides like water waves, while Zhao Fan passed his head through it without hindrance.

Intangibility! Liu Fangzhou shouted in his heart.

Zhao Fan put his head in and scanned the suite twice. He saw Tao Yuan on the sofa and Chen Nan in the bedroom, and quickly retreated his head back. “No, everyone else is asleep.”

Sun Zhuanghan mentioned Liu Fangzhou which caused him to shudder. “Say, why didn’t you fall asleep?”

I fell asleep and was woken up by you, brother. Liu Fangzhou’s eyes were full of tears, and he couldn’t tell him that.

“Leave him alone,” Said the short man next to the trolley. “We have already lost a lot of time. The first officer is still waiting below. Take him down and discuss with him.”

Liu Fangzhou turned his gaze to him. Only then did he find there were three people squeezed next to each other on the trolley. It was the tall, short, and fat trio living in room 8005.Their chests were still undulating and their breathing was normal. They were not awake even when the trolley was moved around, just like Chen Nan and Tao Yuan, they fell into an abnormal sleep.

One of the four ability users led the way, two pushing the cart, and the other carrying Liu Fangzhou. They took the elevator down to the first floor of the hotel.

There was a bar at the back of the lobby on the first floor. The lobby manager that he saw before was still in a suit and leather shoes. He was drinking with his back to the group of people.

Hearing the sound of the trolley, he didn’t look back, “You are late.”

The four people with abilities seemed to be particularly afraid of him, and they immediately bent over to admit their mistakes. “We encountered a special situation and it took a few minutes.”

Yang Xueqiu sat on the high chair and turned around. When he saw Liu Fangzhou, he frowned. “Why is he awake?”

Sun Zhuanghan pushed Liu Fangzhou forward, “The first officer is asking you.”

Liu Fangzhou staggered two steps, then whispered, “I, I don’t know…”

Yang Xueqiu stared at him for a while, then turned his gaze to the four people. “Has the room been inspected carefully? Is there anyone else awake?”

Zhao Fan immediately said, “After checking, I can confirm everyone else is asleep.”

One bedroom door is closed. Zhao Fan originally wanted to add this sentence, but thinking about the first officer’s method of punishing people, he swallowed the words with a shiver on his calf.

It’s not a very important thing anyway, since the door was closed, it meant that they must be asleep.

“First officer,” Sun Zhuanghan said, “What about this person? Should we lock him up or” He made a cutting movement on his neck.

Liu Fangzhou trembled. He was about to yell “Hero, spare my life” when Yang Xueqiu said, “Let’s lock him up first, lock him alone. He is one of the people the captain likes.”

“Understood.”

So Liu Fangzhou was dragged to the back of the hotel and walked into a hot spring sauna room. Zhao Fan dragged him to the middle of the sauna room, holding his arm with one hand and the handle of the cart with the other hand. Then Liu Fangzhou felt something, his body suddenly sank, and the floor tiles under his feet spread to both sides like water waves. The light above his head was quickly gone, and the whole person was enveloped in darkness.

The darkness came fast and went fast. About a second later, Liu Fangzhou suddenly felt a gravitational force, and he fell from air to the ground. Together with him, Zhao Fan and the trolley with the tall, short, and fat trio slammed on the platform and made a loud noise.

Liu Fangzhou only felt his chest tightening, and a strong warm air mixed with the smell of soil came to his face.

The platform was not big, about two meters square. Down the steps, in the dim light, there were two rows of underground cells that couldn’t be seen clearly. There were many people in the cells, and through the wooden gate, everyone could be seen falling asleep. Only in the middle of the two rows of cells, in a room that looked like a sentry pavilion, someone poked his head out and whistled at Zhao Fan. “Is there new people here again? Is there any woman?”

“In the apocalypse, there are fewer women and girls with abilities. Even if there are some here, they will not be sent down. The captain needs them to cultivate new humans. If you perform well, he might be able to match you with a wife. Hurry up and move these people.”

“Come on,” the man spitted, “If I behave well and be valued by the captain, I won’t be doing this work here.” While speaking, he turned and screamed into the pavilion. “The goods are coming, hurry move them.”

After walking up the steps, he glanced at Liu Fangzhou several times and licked his lips. “There are no women, but beautiful men are also fine.”

Your mom is fine. Liu Fangzhou’s legs were trembling but his heart was raining with curses.

He was mustering his courage and thinking about using the fighting skills taught by brother Tao Yuan to beat him when he heard Zhao Fan said. “This can’t be moved. He’s one of the people who the captain likes. The first officer ordered a separate cell.”

“F*ck, again the captain’s fancy.”

Three more people walked out from the pavilion sleepily and with no upper clothes. One of them gave the man a punch, “You can stop it, both of them are skilled. If you dare turn around, I will throw you into the hands of the first officer to make you cry without tears.” Then he said to Zhao Fan, “This underground is too hot, the hot spring is really killing people. Brother, can you give us an iced watermelon later.”

“I can’t be the captain, so I have to apply to be the first officer first. But among the three people, I suspect that there is a space ability user.”
