“Is that so? How can you prove that she has a lot of food there.”
There were still one or two sober people in the crowd who did not directly believe the steward.
“Don’t listen to them talking nonsense. They just have ulterior motives and want to bully me as a weak woman.”
Wan Qianya was a little anxious, afraid that others would believe them.
“Everyone, I am the steward of this hotel. I believe someone in the audience must have seen me before.”
“This presidential suite was originally served by me. Just the day before the apocalypse, the owner of this room purchased a large amount of supplies, all of which I helped carry up personally.”
“If you still don't believe it, let the little girl open the door and let everyone take a look. If there is no supplies, we will leave immediately. With so many people here, you don't have to worry about us doing anything, right?”
In just a few words, the steward had already figured out the minds of these people.
What they were afraid of was that they themselves were really lustful and they also had wives and children. Many people were dragging their families here to take shelter. Today, if they don't help others, it might be their turn next.
But if there were really a lot of supplies in the room, who knows, they might lend a hand too. No one would want to go hungry if there was food.
“I recognize this person. He is indeed the hotel steward.”
“That's right, I recognize him too. Little sister, why don't you just open the door and let them take a look? If there really is nothing, they absolutely won't dare to mess around.”
The wind had already started blowing towards the other side. Before the apocalypse, these people were also prominent figures, but now, just for some uncertain food, they had revealed such an ugly side, it was really pathetic.
Wan Qianya didn't say anything. She already understood that having food while being weak was a sin in this apocalypse.
At this moment, Wan Qianya wanted to become stronger more than ever before.
“Did you see it? She's not talking anymore, acquiescing by default. Fellow compatriots, in the face of disasters, we should have united to wait for rescue. But there are always some selfish people, hoarding large amounts of food that they can't finish, and would rather waste it than share it with us.”
“Let's come together and push open the door. Everyone will be able to eat for a long time and wait for rescue together.”
Under the steward's instigation, some people who were hesitating before had joined their ranks. With more people, their strength was greater. Wan Qianya could no longer resist them and the door was pushed open little by little.
When the door was open wide enough, Wan Qianya gave up. She gripped the two kitchen knives Xiao Jun left for her and stood at the door of the inner room.
“This much food can last us so long!”
The first person to rush in instantly saw the room full of food.
Subsequently, others walked in as well. Seeing the room was indeed full of food, everyone's eyes lit up.
Even though these survivors had some food, it was barely anything. Some had even gone without food for a day or two already. Now seeing so much food, they couldn't help but tremble.
“Soda, my favorite.”
Seeing the soda, a man couldn't care less about anything else. He rushed up and happily opened a bottle to drink.
Someone took the lead, and others followed suit, starting to pick up food.
Wan Qianya didn't say a word, her hands firmly gripped the kitchen knives, her eyes fixed intently on these people, determined to remember each of their faces.
“Hurry, move the stuff first.”
Qiang Ge hurriedly called out to the other three. Although there was a lot of stuff here, who would think they had too much food? Everyone wished they could grow three heads and six arms to grab more at once.
No matter how much food, it couldn't withstand their looting. Soon, everything in the living room was emptied. No one thought this was robbery.
“There must be more in the bedroom, otherwise why would she stand guard there.”
Not just one person shouted, everyone's eyes turned to look.
“There is nothing in the room. Whoever dares to come in will regret it.”
Wan Qianya raised the kitchen knives in her hands. They had already gotten a lot of food, surely they wouldn't want to fight with her now.
“The little girl is joking. We're just helping each other out. After we get through this crisis, I'll give you money, ten times as much.”
“That's right, we'll give money. I'm the boss of XXX company, you have to believe me.”
A group of hypocrites smiled awkwardly. Since they'd already gotten what they wanted, they should just go back first. Even if there was food left in the bedroom, there probably wasn't much.
In the blink of an eye, everyone returned to their rooms, leaving only Wan Qianya and Qiang Ge's four men.
“Little lady, do you know how to use that knife? Holding it so high, does strong brother need to teach you?”
Seeing the others leave, Qiang Ge became emboldened again.
He must get his hands on this girl. If not for her yelling, all this food would have originally been his.
“I'll chop whoever comes forward.”
Although very afraid inside, Wan Qianya's hand was steady.
“Fatty, didn't you want this little lady? Go, subdue her, and she'll be yours.”
With two bright kitchen knives pointed at him, Qiang Ge was still a little apprehensive. What if he got chopped? They didn't even have anything to bandage wounds.
“Boss Qiang, she has knives! Maybe we should just forget it.”
Fatty looked at the two kitchen knives fearfully. Compared to a woman, his own life was more important.
“Useless.”
Although scolding them, Qiang Ge didn't dare go up himself either. Both sides were at an impasse.
“Boss Qiang, she has no more food now. As long as we starve her for a couple days, she'll come begging us.”
“Besides, we still don't know when her lover will be back. Let's go back first.”
Speaking of Xiao Jun, Qiang Ge was still a little afraid. It wasn't that he was scared of him, but those two steel knives he had looked far from ordinary.
“Alright, let's go back first. This time, the whole floor was involved in robbing their food. I don't believe her brother can do anything when he comes back.”
After discussing, they still decided to return first. This girl was a bit fierce. Starving her for a few days before doing anything again. Who knows, by then her lover might just sell her to them.
The few men left quickly. Only when Wan Qianya heard the door across shut did she relax a little.
After closing the door, she could no longer hold back. Hugging her legs, she sat in the corner and cried.
After all, she was just a 20-year-old girl.
