Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Staying in a Hotel
After running to the second floor, the two were finally in the clear, as not a single zombie was in sight.
But before Kate turned off her invisible cloak, Xiaoyun stopped her as he could hear a faint voice coming from one of the rooms.
"Someone is on this floor," Xiaoyun whispered through the mic.
Kate immediately took out her knife, slowly following Xiaoyun\'s lead as he tried to turn one of the doorknobs.
"Let me open it. I know how to lockpick."
Xiaoyun moved back as Kate took out several tools and began lockpicking the door, which took less than a minute.
As she slowly pushed the door open, the inside was completely dark, with not a single living thing in sight.
Slowly, the two headed inside, with Kate leading in the front. After noticing nothing was out of the ordinary, they headed towards the bathroom.
With nothing there as well, the two headed back out to the next room number. But this time, the door wasn\'t locked.
When the door opened, the two immediately held their breath as a zombie with long hair sat right in the middle of the room, sobbing as a little bit of light reflected off its face.
The two slowly closed the door back up, then immediately headed upstairs before catching their breath.
"Holy shit, that was a witch, wasn\'t it?" Kate asked as she thought back to one of the documents from the intelligence office.
"Yeah. I remember meeting one in the past. They are extremely deadly." Xiaoyun murmured as he thought back to near the beginning of the outbreak in a gas station.
"Should we keep trying to find a room here?"
Xiaoyun thought for a second and replied with a yes. But he brought her to the stairs again to go all the way to the top floor.
"Let\'s just be as far away as possible from the ground floor," Xiaoyun explained, noticing Kate walking a little slower as if she was confused about where he was bringing her.
After arriving on the second last floor, the two stopped as any higher was the rooftop balcony.
Interestingly enough, the floor only had one room, which Kate easily unlocked with her skill.
Inside was just a normal hotel bedroom with a small bathroom, albeit with a family photo that had a woman wearing the same logo shirt as the hotel name.
With several bags of maintenance gear at one of the corners and seeing the hotel\'s top floor filled with air conditioning units and hot water boilers through the window when going up, they realized it was the maintenance worker\'s room.
But the dust all over the place assured the two that it had been abandoned for a long time, allowing them to turn off their invisible cloak in safety.
"Man, I really hope this place has running water," Kate murmured as she turned on her phone flashlight and headed to the bathroom.
"I doubt it... We\'re lucky that Guangzhou and Luoping still have running water since we secured the water facility.
I doubt Foshan here has water——"
Before Xiaoyun finished talking, the sound of water hitting the sink echoed throughout the room.
"Nevermind. I guess I\'m the dumbass. You can take a shower first. I\'ll wait out here."
"Thanks."
As Kate closed the bathroom door, Xiaoyun began changing the battery in both of their invisible cloaks.
After he finished changing the battery, he started to rub the invisible cloak in his hand as he examined it carefully.
"How does this even work? Is it from the same ideas of invisible zombies? If the secret society has this technology, what other advanced technology could they have?"
Xiaoyun wondered as he watched the invisible cloak turn from visible to invisible and back. But he couldn\'t think of a single answer to any of the questions.
"Xiaoyun, can you make some clothes for me? The cloth I\'m wearing right now is covered in sweat." Kate asked as her voice came out of the bathroom.
"Sure. What clothes do you want?" Xiaoyun asked as he stood by the bathroom door.
"Just a T-shirt and a pair of shorts is fine... Man, this city is so damn hot." Kate murmured the last part to herself in English, but Xiaoyun heard it.
Xiaoyun quickly created what she wanted and knocked on the door.
"Thank you. Um, can you make me a towel? I don\'t like using a stranger\'s towel."
"Sure... Here."
After handing all of it over to Kate, Xiaoyun waited outside for his turn to shower. But the door was opened again within seconds.
"Um, can you create a pair of bras and underwear?" Kate shyly asked.
"What size?"
"The bra is the same size as Yuqi, and the underwear is the same size as Yueyue."
"Okay... Here."
Kate quickly grabbed it off of his hand before slamming the door shut, locking it as if she was scared that Xiaoyun was going to break in.
When the door finally opened, Xiaoyun was a little stunned.
The T-shirt could barely fit Kate as it was tightly wrapped around her chest. Droplets from her wet hair also landed on top of the shirt, making the black bra slightly visible.
The shorts were even more eye-popping as they barely could cover her butt, with her long leg completely exposed for him to see.
"Why is the shirt so tight? And the short is way too short... Xiaoyun, are you doing this on purpose?" Kate asked, her face looking a little disappointed.
"What if I told you I accidentally made my T-shirt and shorts for you to wear? I just completely forgot that men\'s sizes are different from women\'s.
If you want, I can make Leyan\'s one for you to wear instead. I can do it right now——"
"No, it\'s fine. I shouldn\'t be making so many requests when you have already done so many things for me. Just go take a shower."
"Okay."
---
As Xiaoyun headed inside the shower, Kate immediately jumped onto the bed and began relaxing her back.
"Did he do this on purpose? No way, right? I mean, he could have given me the wrong size bra and underwear on purpose to fuck me over even more...
But he didn\'t... So it\'s probably just an accident, right? Why am I thinking about this so much?"
Kate quickly shook her head as she pulled up the blanket after feeling a little cold. But a new problem arose as she noticed the hotel room only had one bed.
"Shit... There\'s no way that we are sleeping on the same bed. But then, where could he sleep?
I can\'t let him sleep on the floor when he has done so much for me the past few days... Maybe he can create a bed?
No, no, no, there\'s no space for that... There\'s barely any space even to walk or for a sleeping bag to sleep in."
As Kate continued to think of ideas to solve this problem, her mind started to shift toward one particular direction that she would have never imagined in the past.
"I mean, is it really that bad for him to sleep on the same bed as me? I\'m sure I\'m not that attractive to him when he already has so many beautiful wives.
Maybe I\'m just overthinking it... If he wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago."
Slowly, Kate started to get more sleepy, as the bed was becoming too comfortable for someone who hadn\'t had a proper sleep for days.
But before she fell asleep on the bed, Xiaoyun finally came out of the bathroom in his tank top and shorts.
"Kate, you can sleep. I\'ll just stay outside to watch guard——"
"No, no. If you don\'t mind, we can just sleep on the same bed." Kate suggested.
Xiaoyun frozed for a second, then stared right at her face in silence before opening his mouth.
"You sure? Are you the same Kate that I know of? Are you not some sort of hidden clone?" Xiaoyun asked with uncertainty in his voice.
"Hey, you know how much courage it took for me to say this? Just get over here and sleep."
Kate dragged Xiaoyun onto the bed, giving him half of the blanket before turning over to the other side to face away from him.
"Thanks..." Xiaoyun whispered.
"No problem..."
The two lay on the bed in darkness as the blinds blocked off the sun. Neither of them wanted to speak up, as the atmosphere felt extremely awkward.
But the two didn\'t get to say anything as they soon fell asleep on the comfortable bed after their drowsiness took over.
