"Mr. Ji, you've arrived."

The people guarding outside were the hotel's security personnel. They remembered Ji Tianhao and his two companions very clearly. Earlier that morning, when Restaurant B was attacked, they were preparing to go and provide support. Upon seeing the snakes in the restaurant, the three of them were inspired and managed to kill them all. It was hard not to remember them.

Strong individuals, regardless of who they are, are always the focus of attention.

It left a very deep impression.

They were all from the military, and they respected the strong the most.

Competence is an important criterion for them to measure a person.

Is Manager Cai inside?

Ji Tianhao nodded and said.

"exist."

A security captain answered.

"Alright, can we go in now? We want to talk to Manager Cai about what to do next."

Ji Tianhao then said.

"of course can."

The security captain did not stop them.

The hotel is now full of survivors, and uniting all forces is the most important thing. He desperately wants all the other survivors in the hotel to gather together. He's also seen what's happening outside; those who came are clearly up to no good.

Upon entering, one sees a large group of people gathered in the spacious gym, mainly hotel staff, along with a group of hotel guests. Of course, there are no guests now; they are all survivors.

When I saw Cai Honglong, he was standing by the window, staring at the battle outside, and his expression was not relaxed.

"Manager Cai, something's not right outside. These things that have appeared are either giant pythons or cannibals. The level of danger is much higher than we imagined. Also, a group of homeless people dressed as refugees have come from the east. It's hard to be sure of the situation right now. Do you have any ideas?"

Ji Tianhao walked over, saw Cai Honglong, and asked him directly.

The meaning behind the words was clear: the situation was not good, the enemy outside was very strong, and if there was no way to deal with it, everyone in the hotel would be in danger and unsafe.

"The giant python is very strong. The one that blocked the fifth floor before was just a small giant python. When we hunted the giant python, a group of people died under its body. Compared with the giant python outside, our strength is much weaker. In addition, there are ogres. If we really fight, regardless of the outcome, the casualties will definitely be quite heavy. It's a pity that we don't have firearms. Otherwise, it would definitely be easier to deal with it than it is now."

Cai Honglong said with a rather unpleasant expression.

He also saw the situation outside; the circumstances were clearly unfavorable to their side. The hotel was in dire straits, and no one knew what fate awaited the hotel after the ogres and the giant python had decided their fate. Clearly, they couldn't afford to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

As a former soldier, he disliked the feeling of uncertainty and constant threat to his life.

This is really painful.

Most importantly, they don't have enough cards to play.

"Hot weapons, what if we had bombs, could they pose a threat to them?"

Ji Tianhao suddenly spoke.

"I'm not entirely sure, but it should pose a considerable threat. However, we've all fallen into the Ruins of Guixu; where are we going to find bombs?"

Cai Honglong shook his head with a wry smile and said.

With firearms, they could fight back no matter what. But now, even though the hotel staff are quite strong, many of their awakened talents don't have direct combat abilities. Even if they are offensive talents, the destructive power they generate can't immediately reach a very high level. After all, the talent's rank is what it is; the higher the talent's rank, the higher the level it can demonstrate.

Furthermore, there is a cost involved in using one's innate abilities.

Within the core of talent, a portion of energy can be stored, but more of it consumes one's own essence, energy, and spirit, determining the number of times one can ultimately unleash their abilities and the power they display. The rank, in fact, represents the upper limit of power that can be achieved.

This is something you're born with; no one can envy it.

Inside the hotel, most of them had just awakened their powers, and even if they possessed offensive abilities, they could only maintain them for a short time. This is why, without embarking on cultivation, they cannot unleash their abilities for extended periods; only through cultivation can their essence, energy, and spirit grow and transform.

Physical talents, when used, mostly consume essence and energy. Talents like the Five Elements and the myriad phenomena of nature, when used, mostly consume energy and spirit. Cultivation, however, can activate the source of life and condense qi and blood. This qi and blood can be used as energy for any talent.

Therefore, cultivation level does not represent the upper limit of combat power, but it does represent the ability to sustain combat power.

In fact, some of the survivors in the hotel possess powerful attack capabilities, but they cannot sustain them for long. Their effectiveness can only be used in crucial situations. Otherwise, in a sustained battle, they can only be used as a last resort.

"Heh heh, how naive. You really think ordinary firearms can deal with ogres and giant pythons? Once the life source is activated and a life force field is generated, it has a powerful defensive capability against any attack. Firearms can only kill them if you have many guns and fire them all at once to exhaust the energy in their bodies and dissipate the life force field. You have to use bombs, which are very powerful and threatening, but you have to be able to hit the target."

Just then, a mocking laugh came from the gym entrance. The voice was hoarse.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that four figures were already standing in front.

It was none other than Liang Hongguang, Pang Yan, Tian Buqi, and Liu San.

Their clothing made them look like refugees. Yet, at first glance, no one dared to underestimate them. The aura they exuded made even the security personnel, who were from the military, instinctively feel a strong sense of vigilance.

"Where did these four friends come from, and are they enemies or friends?"

Cai Honglong took the lead and walked over. He was familiar with the four people who appeared. He had seen them rushing towards him from outside the window and had also seen their appearance.

"We are just a group of wanderers struggling to survive, from the Mud Wanderer Camp. We came here because we saw that the initial land had fallen into the Ruins, and we came to look for some survival supplies. Once we find the supplies, we will leave. Also, it would be even better if we could obtain some Creation Orbs."

Liang Hongguang glanced at the hundreds of survivors in front of him, a strange light flashing in his eyes. He then introduced them and told them their names.

But there was no real intention to take action.

In fact, Liang Hongguang and his group were not prepared to be so easy to talk to at first.

While outside, they had already witnessed the battle between the giant python and the ogres. Neither of them were easy to deal with. Under normal circumstances, given a choice, they would not easily enter the hotel. However, the Mud Wanderer Camp was almost out of supplies. Inside the camp, people were dying of hunger and thirst every day.

Rather than starve or die of thirst, it's better to rush in and take a gamble. While the ogres and giant pythons are fiercely fighting outside, we can quickly seize a batch of supplies and then escape immediately.

They initially thought there wouldn't be many survivors in the hotel, but upon actually seeing them, Liang Hongguang and his group made a different choice, and their attitude clearly changed.

Cai Honglong and his group are not weaklings who can be bullied at will.

They knew the situation in the Initial Land; in the Initial Land, the probability of awakening a talent was almost 100%. Whether it was an ordinary talent or a truly powerful one depended on individual aptitude and fortune. Those who awakened top-tier talents, even those who had just awakened, could unleash extremely powerful combat abilities.

There are several hundred people here, so the probability of some people with great talents emerging is not low at all.

If a fight really breaks out, let alone the four of them, even if the entire Muddy Wanderer Camp is included, it will be difficult for them to have the upper hand.

In this situation, the first thing to do is to change attitudes and stop using a tough stance to exert pressure.

Instead, they approached each other in a transactional manner.

What they need are resources, the spheres of creation from the primordial land, and the Heart of Miracles—things they can obtain without fighting. No one wants to fight, after all, people of the same race can communicate with each other.

"Muddy Wandering Camp, that's the name."

Hu Youni looked surprised.

"We have supplies in our hotel, but we're not sure how many are in good condition right now. They're all on the first floor. We can't take them all. When the time comes, you can take as much as you can. As for the Creation Orb, is that what you're talking about?"

Cai Honglong reached into his backpack and took out a small ball of light. It was filled with a soft, white light that was not dazzling.

They were wary of Liang Hongguang and his group, but more than that, they wanted to extract information from them—more information about this world—so that they could better understand the environment they were about to face.

If we can acquire it, we can use the light orb as a bargaining chip.

These sacrifices are still acceptable.

"It is the Sphere of Creation."

Pang Yan's eyes lit up when she saw it, and the fat on her face twitched, revealing a strong desire.

"The Sphere of Creation can yield all sorts of rare and precious treasures; it is said that its value is related to one's own luck."

Liu San murmured, his eyes filled with infatuation.

"This is it. I can tell you what you want to know, provided that I know one question and ten Creation Orbs."

Liang Hongguang grinned.

"Ten is too many, five is a problem, and even one more is not acceptable."

Lin Fang stepped out from beside Cai Honglong and began to discuss the matter.

The Creation Orb can yield all sorts of treasures, and its value is extremely high. Later, when the Serpent-Slaying Orb stopped being created, they already knew that the Creation Orb was not something that could be obtained casually; it was an extremely precious resource. Now, hearing them say that this was a Creation Orb, imbued with the power of creation, it must be even more precious.

It's extremely valuable; I can't just agree to that.

Five is the limit; I'm not planning to haggle.
