Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Two months after the zombie outbreak in her previous life, she met the first human who had an awakened ability, and from then on, she knew that normal humans could also mutate.

From what she had learned in her previous life, it seemed there were no Space System abilities.

System: "Space Manipulation, as the name suggests, allows for the control of space."

Ji Wanwan: "...Having listened to your words, I've wasted a second."

System: "Level 1 Space Manipulation allows control over any space within a 10-meter range, such as shortening distances for instant teleportation, folding space to transfer, creating enclosed spaces, etc."

Ji Wanwan: "Then what about Level 2 Space Manipulation?"

System: "The host needs to explore that question."

Ji Wanwan fell silent for a while: "Then how do I upgrade?"

System: "Accumulating Combat Value can upgrade superpowers. Killing one zombie can obtain 5 Combat Value, and an assist can obtain 3 Combat Value."

Ji Wanwan: "How much Combat Value is needed to upgrade the ability to Level 2?"

System: "Level 1 to Level 2 requires 10 points."

Ji Wanwan: "Okay, I got it."

As the thought settled, a "beep" sound echoed, and the System disappeared, the world in front of her resumed its motion.

Zhou Kai was holding his phone, slightly stunned.

What was I doing again?

Right, booking a room!

He pointed to the phone and said to Ji Wanwan, "I've transferred the room fee."

Ji Wanwan nodded slightly: "I saw it."

"Okay." Zhou Kai put away his phone: "Which room am I in?"

Ji Wanwan took out the room card for A202 and handed it over with a full smile.

Watching Zhou Kai go upstairs, she took out the Authority Card for suite B202 and gave it to Qi Hao, then took the Authority Card for A203 and gave it to Xia Li: "It's getting late, everyone should go back to sleep."

Everyone left.

Ji Wanwan stretched languidly, ready to go back to her room to sleep as well.

The ignored Cheng Ya: "?"

As Ji Wanwan was about to go upstairs, Cheng Ya became anxious: "Sister Ji, I still don't have a room!"

Ji Wanwan blinked as if she realized, "Ah... you want to stay at the hotel? Are you renting a single room or a suite?"

Cheng Ya's face turned red in an instant.

Clearly, Qi Hao and Xia Li hadn't spent any money just now, but she, as Xingxing's girlfriend, had to pay?

She was out for fun and didn't bring much money with her; how could she afford to stay at a hotel?

She started to act coquettishly: "Sister..."

Ji Wanwan narrowed her eyes and glanced at Cheng Ya with a sideways look: "Who is your sister? Don't falsely claim relationships!"

Cheng Ya continued in a low voice: "Can you let me stay for free for one night, for the sake of me being Xingxing's girlfriend?"

She spoke with confidence.

Ji Wanwan laughed in exasperation: "Why should I?"

Cheng Ya didn't expect Ji Wanwan to give her no face at all, and she was so angry that tears almost fell.

She stamped her foot in anger and turned to run upstairs.

But the next second, she was trapped by the Space Barrier Ji Wanwan conjured with her Space superpower.

Ji Wanwan looked at her coldly: "I have a bad temper, and I advise you not to provoke my little brother!"

Cheng Ya suddenly felt she couldn't move.

Guessing it was Ji Wanwan's doing, Cheng Ya was half scared to death and hurriedly nodded.

Ji Wanwan retracted the Space Barrier and passed by her, bumping her and making her stagger...

...

That night, the world outside the refuge was turned upside down; inside the refuge, Ji Wanwan slept soundly.

The next day, she didn't get up until 10 o'clock.

This was the first lazy sleep she had had since the apocalypse happened.

The feeling was truly good...

After washing up simply, Ji Wanwan lazily went downstairs to buy breakfast.

Just after she took her breakfast back to her room, another group of people arrived outside the hotel.

This group of people had ashen faces, evidently both tired and hungry, and seemed to have reached their limits.

The man leading the way cut down several zombies at the hotel entrance and looked towards the interior of the hotel, "Is this the place?"

Following the man, a woman stepped forward and glanced at her phone, "The GPS shows it's here."

She raised her head to look at the people sitting inside and pointed at them, "Look, there are living people inside, it must be this place, no mistake!"

Their spirits lifted, they hurriedly surged into the refuge.

Ji Wanwan, who had just taken a seat and hadn't even opened her lunchbox, heard the System notification.

[Host, people have arrived at the refuge.]

Ji Wanwan: [Okk]

[Beep——]

[New Task: Make a profit of 5,000 yuan]

[Task Completion Time: 24 hours]

[Task Completion Reward: A Level 1 Canteen; the Host may choose to increase any two physical attributes by 10 points each]

[Task Countdown: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

Before she even reached the downstairs, Ji Wanwan heard the chaotic and noisy sounds from the lobby.

"Ah! What the hell is this thing! It electrocuted me!"

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Where's the manager? Where's the manager? Your stuff is leaking electricity! Come fix it immediately!"

"..."

Ji Wanwan, on the stairs, sneered and dragged her feet, walking slowly down, "If you had just scanned the code and paid properly without helping yourselves, my equipment wouldn't have shocked you."

This group had their sights on her private vending cabinet.

To prevent theft and intentional damage, she had the System reinforce the vending cabinet with a layer of protection.

Should anyone harbor ill intentions towards the cabinet, it would unleash a strong electric current, stunning them into questioning their life choices.

As she descended the stairs, Ji Wanwan also took the occasion to give the new arrivals at the refuge a cursory glance.

Nine people in total, seven men and two women, among whom, eight were familiar to Ji Wanwan.

They were none other than members of the study group.

Especially Zhu Qian and Zhang Tao.

Even if these two scumbags were reduced to ashes, she would never forget them!

But where was Teacher Xu?

And who was this man she had never seen before?

As soon as Ji Wanwan appeared, Zhu Qian recognized her, "You're really here!"

"Ah, isn't this Sister Qian?" Ji Wanwan approached the counter, her greeting insincere and laced with mocking undertones, "What a coincidence, you're here to stay at the hotel?"

Stay at the hotel?

The hell with staying at the hotel!

It was precisely because Ji Wanwan mentioned in the group chat that there was a resort here to stay at that she, feeling unconvinced, organized everyone to come and check it out early.

Had it not been for Ji Wanwan, they wouldn't have encountered those man-eating monsters.

Monsters everywhere, and it took them a great effort to find this place.

And now what did Ji Wanwan mean with her words?

What did she mean 'they also came to stay at the hotel'?

They were here to seek refuge, okay!

Zhu Qian sized up Ji Wanwan.

The young girl was dressed in a white dress, pristine and untainted, in stark contrast to their group, who were tired, hungry, dirty, and smelly.

In an instant, Zhu Qian felt a surge of envy and jealousy, having had enough of the precarious life they had been fleeing from for so many days, "We're here to seek sanctuary, where's the boss? We want to talk to the boss!"

Ji Wanwan smiled faintly, "I am the boss, whatever you want to talk about, you can tell me directly."

Zhu Qian was dumbfounded.

This poor girl, Ji Wanwan, is the boss?

She must be a clerk, right?

Seeing that they were all students, so she treated them with disdain!

Back in school, Zhu Qian had never been treated this way; everyone saw her had to call out 'Sister Qian', and nobody dared to belittle her like this.

"What's with that attitude! Get your boss out here now!" Zhu Qian brought back her SchoolDays arrogance, glaring fiercely at Ji Wanwan.

The latter found it amusing and with a sharp gaze swept over the nine people in the lobby, "My attitude? I told you I'm the boss. If you don't believe it, you are free to get lost!"
