Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 158:

Song Chengjun didn’t know when he arrived behind Chu Jiangyue.

When Chu Jiangyue turned her head and saw it was Song Chengjun, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Yeah, is Captain Song interested in renting a storefront to do some small business?"

When someone inquired, Chu Jiangyue naturally jumped at the chance to promote.

"Some interest, just that in times like these, sourcing goods is quite difficult."

"What kind of store does Captain Song want to open? Maybe I could help with the sourcing."

Chu Jiangyue hadn’t forgotten, Little Fox had mentioned before that she could unlock items with Gold Coin that hadn’t been unlocked yet.

The hotel had been running for some time, and now Chu Jiangyue lacked everything except for Gold Coins.

Last time she unlocked a mask for 1 Gold Coin; this time unlocking another item would cost 10 Gold Coins.

It keeps increasing, and towards the end, it would become a huge expense.

So, what items to unlock depends on how the survey forms are filled out.

At that time, Chu Jiangyue would pick the top 3 most popular items to unlock.

Those three alone would cost Chu Jiangyue 1110 Gold Coins.

Calculating at 1 copper coin per dollar, that’s eleven million, which is practically life-threatening.

More than that, Chu Jiangyue wouldn’t be willing to spend, at least not at the moment.

"Really?"

Song Chengjun didn’t expect that when he just happened to see Chu Jiangyue, and thought to greet her, he would receive such a surprise.

"Not necessarily, you can take this survey form, Captain Song, fill it out and hand it over to Housekeeper Chu when you’re done.

For now, I can only secure 3 items, specifically which 3, it depends on those with the highest popularity."

Since they had gone out before, Chu Jiangyue treated Song Chengjun as a friend and shared more information with him.

Others didn’t receive the same treatment.

Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, Song Chengjun’s eyes lit up, "Thanks for the reminder!"

Judging from Chu Jiangyue’s words, Song Chengjun knew she was offering him a hint.

Song Chengjun accepted the survey form from Chu Jiangyue, "I’ll fill it out seriously. Hopefully, the items I want will be among the top 3 most popular."

"Good luck."

Song Chengjun took the survey form and went to find Lu Zhengyao. Even though Lu Zhengyao’s position as base chief became a nominal title after moving from the B City Base, Song Chengjun was still in the habit of consulting him.

"Hello, Boss Chu!"

Shortly after Song Chengjun left, Chu Jiangyue had just finished transferring her superpower to the mango tree and the immediate fruit tree and was about to return to her own place when someone else came to find her.

"Hello, you all are..."

These faces were unfamiliar, and Chu Jiangyue was almost certain that they hadn’t been staying at Jianglin Hotel for long.

If they had met her once before, she would at least have a vague recollection even if she couldn’t remember their names.

"We came with Captain Jin’s team from T City. We’re here to inquire about some matters."

This team, all female, the leader with short hair had a very capable appearance, and Chu Jiangyue had a good impression of them.

"Standing here isn’t very comfortable, let’s go to the office lobby and take a seat while we talk."

Chu Jiangyue was indifferent, but seeing how they still seemed a bit fatigued, they might have just returned from the outside.

"Alright!"

"Then let’s go."

Chu Jiangyue turned first and headed toward the direction of the office lobby.

"Is T City’s situation really that bad? So many of you gathered together and left."

Whether it’s extremely hot or cold weather, Chu Jiangyue believes that people can always find a way to survive.

"T City’s official base was taken over by a swarm of mutant bugs; we barely escaped with our lives..."

Speaking of T City’s situation, the expressions on the few girls turned sorrowful again.

Mutant infestations are much like the mutated mice before, individually not very threatening, even a child could kill them.

But often these non-threatening mutated animals attack in swarms, covering vast areas, making it really difficult to manage.

"Ah! I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was like this."

While speaking, they had already reached the office lobby, where Chu Jiangyue led them to sit on the sofas in the rest area.

"It’s okay, we’ve just been living at the base since the apocalypse started not long ago, suddenly being overrun, it’s just a little sad.

But we have to look forward; we’re not going to dwell on the past."

"Good that you understand. Whatever you want to ask me, you can ask now."

Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue offer them the chance to ask questions, the few girls composed themselves.

"We noticed the hotel entrance is connected by a corridor; we asked others about it, and it was built by the B City Base.

We want to ask, how much did it cost? If T City wanted to build one, would it be possible?"

Chu Jiangyue initially thought they wanted to ask about Jianglin Hotel’s rules or something, not expecting them to inquire about the safety corridor.

Honestly, the safety corridor built by the B City Base was quite a waste in her opinion since the base didn’t last long after its completion.

However, it provided some convenience for various hotel guests; it didn’t cost Chu Jiangyue anything in the end.

"You want to build one? The materials for a safety corridor aren’t cheap, and... you need to provide the personnel for the construction, I only provide the optimal route map.

But didn’t you say the official base in T City no longer exists, privately run bases typically wouldn’t want to spend so much."

It’s not that Chu Jiangyue didn’t believe in them, but T City doesn’t currently have the means.

"Our base chief also managed to escape this time. With a base chief present, I believe these won’t be problems!"

So the base chief escaped too, then this matter is negotiable.

"Alright then, where is your base chief? Shouldn’t he come over and discuss this with me personally?"

"We wanted to understand the situation first before reporting back to the base chief."

It seems the women held some influence in the presence of T City’s official base chief.

"Let me first tell you about material costs; the material package for the safety corridor is 1 Gold Coin per meter, with both length and width being one meter. The width of the safety corridor depends on you, but the length is calculated based on the route map I provide.

In other words, if you want to build a 2-meter-wide safety corridor, you’ll need to lay 2 rows, making the price 1 Gold Coin * route map length * 2.

Does this calculation work for you?"

The price Chu Jiangyue offered was the same as that offered to the B City Base.

However... the route length to build a safety corridor from T City is incomparable to B City.

This safety corridor could easily be described as astronomically expensive.

It’s uncertain if the already-overrun base can produce that many Gold Coins now.

"1 Gold Coin per meter..."

The women thought, no matter how expensive, the materials couldn’t be overly costly.

But the price of 1 Gold Coin per meter still frightened them.

Considering the distance from Jianglin Hotel to T City and the various obstacles along the way.

A road built this way is practically made of gold.
