Chapter 155: Prophet, Stabbed
Chapter 155
"And after making our selections, we didn't even have to wait - the food appeared almost instantly!"
"This truly must be a hotel blessed by the gods."
"Why couldn't I be the one chosen by the gods?" someone whined.
"Come now, we shouldn't be too greedy. We have food, drinks, and shelter - that's already quite fortunate."
"But we have so few chicken droppings..."
"They're called points, not chicken droppings."
Bruno watched Gu Wanyin chatting with Bai Shuwen and said, "Didn't the boss say that once the garlic matures, they'll sell it to us? When that happens, we can buy some garlic, and even if we can't defeat the vampires, at least we'll feel more confident going outside. We could even look for gold, silver, and jewels."
"That's right!" Everyone's spirits lifted at the mention of garlic. "If only we had silver items too! The vampires have destroyed almost all the silver items..."
After lunch, seeing that it was still early, Gu Wanyin and Bai Shuwen went out again in the carriage.
They wanted to promote the hotel and explore this world. After all, they had only seen medieval settings like this in movies and TV shows before.
The system had told Gu Wanyin that since the carriage was system-produced, it didn't actually need someone to drive it. The horse knew where to go on its own - Gu Wanyin just needed to speak up about which direction she wanted to go.
She had driven it herself earlier just to experience what it felt like to control a carriage.
Now that she had satisfied her curiosity, she let the carriage move on its own while she and Bai Shuwen sat inside, eating potato chips and spicy snacks while watching the scenery along the streets.
However, the scene before them was one of complete devastation.
The occasional house they passed was mostly abandoned, and some had been burned down.
Bai Shuwen couldn't help but recall her days of struggling to survive in the apocalyptic world.
If it weren't for Gu Wanyin and the Peace Hotel, that world might still be in an apocalyptic state, and she wasn't sure if she would have survived until now.
Thinking this, she couldn't resist wanting to snuggle up to Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin: "? Don't come near me!"
"Don't be like that, we're both girls, what's wrong with a little snuggle?"
"Get away, get away."
As they were playfully arguing, they noticed several figures ahead.
From their swagger, they were clearly not human, but vampires.
Gu Wanyin casually pressed a button in front of her.
The carriage's protection system wasn't limited to just the Merciless Iron Hands.
After pressing this button, the entire carriage, including its occupants, became invisible.
The vampires couldn't see them.
Although the Merciless Iron Hands was interesting... Gu Wanyin didn't want to waste time with these vampires.
As the carriage passed by the vampires, Gu Wanyin took a glance at them.
There were seven vampires in total, all appearing quite young.
They were dressed like wealthy young masters of this era, and their faces were quite handsome.
However...
Their hair was a rainbow of colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, making up a complete rainbow.
Gu Wanyin found it dizzying to look at.
Such hair colors might look beautiful in anime, especially combined with handsome faces, but in reality...
"I thought I saw a carriage coming this way, but it suddenly disappeared?"
"Where? You must be seeing things."
"Never mind. I heard there are still quite a few humans hiding in a small town to the east. Let's go there and compete to see who can kill more humans! Are you up for it?"
"How could we not be? Let's go!"
These seven gourd babies - no, vampires - were people of action. They immediately spread their wings and took off, soaring into the air in an instant.
Though their hair colors remained particularly eye-catching in the sky.
"I think in this apocalyptic world, there must be some really capable humans," Bai Shuwen whispered in Gu Wanyin's ear, "the kind who can hunt vampires. With such conspicuous hair colors, aren't they afraid of becoming targets..."
Before she could finish speaking, several arrows suddenly shot through the air, one of them piercing directly into one of the vampires' bodies.
The vampire let out an agonized scream as blood gushed out, and he began plummeting toward the ground.
Gu Wanyin: "...The prophet has struck."
Bai Shuwen: "Oh my, I didn't expect my words to be so prophetic."
Seeing their companion wounded, the other vampires became enraged and charged toward the direction the arrows had come from.
"Shall we go take a look? We might be able to bring back more guests."
"Sure."
So Gu Wanyin directed the carriage toward that location.
They were completely invisible now, so the battle couldn't affect them.
According to the rules, if they encountered humans being chased by vampires in this world, they could let the humans quickly get onto the carriage, and the carriage would protect them.
Whether they could reach the carriage before being caught by the vampires was up to fate.
However, if the battle between humans and vampires had already begun, they couldn't interfere.
They could only wait until the battle ended, and if any humans survived, they could invite them onto the carriage and take them back to the hotel.
Now that the arrows had been fired and the battle had begun, they could only watch from the sidelines.
When they reached the area, they discovered that the human group was quite large, probably around twenty people.
Several of them were wielding silver weapons.
The arrows that had been shot earlier must have been silver-tipped as well.
No wonder one arrow could severely wound a vampire, given their weakness to silver.
However, even with this advantage, they were still struggling in their fight against the vampires.
So far, they had only killed two vampires and severely wounded one.
Aliali: 67358287d72ede934945062fBut seven or eight humans had already died.
Gu Wanyin noticed one man who was particularly muscular and skilled in combat.
He wielded a silver longsword with impressive force, managing to keep several vampires at bay.
In the end, four vampires were dead, and the other three were wounded to varying degrees. Though reluctant, they knew they couldn't continue and had to spread their wings to fly away.
The man took a bow and arrow from a companion and shot another arrow, successfully bringing down one more vampire, who died instantly.
The other two increased their flying speed and successfully escaped.
However, the human side had suffered heavy casualties as well.
From the original group of over twenty people, only eight remained.
Moreover, several silver weapons had been destroyed by the vampires.
"Brother!" one man cried out in anguish, "Were we too reckless?"
