Doomsday B&B

Seeing that Jiang Donghai had accepted the room card, Jian Lei then explained to Jiang Donghai the purpose and importance of the room card.

"First of all, as you can see, we operate in the form of RVs. The purpose of this room card is to reserve a room for you in our RV for a long time. No matter where our RV is, you can use this room card to go directly to the room we have reserved for you. Then, within a specified time, you can use the room card to return to the position where you entered the RV. Of course, it can only be used by you personally, so you will need to bind it to your ID card later."

"This, I... feel unworthy of it. I'm doing you a favor because I'm thinking of the people in the base."

"Whatever your reason, this is what you deserve, so please accept it. I'm leaving soon; I have a lot of things to do back home. But before I go, please give me your points card and room card so I can upgrade and bind them for you."

"Okay, thank you. Here you go." Jiang Donghai accepted the room card after hearing Jian Lei's explanation, and was now quite receptive to the binding and upgrade.

After taking the room card and points card from Jiang Donghai, Jian Lei took out a smartwatch-shaped device, bound the points card and room card together, and then handed the smartwatch to Jiang Donghai.

"What is this?" Jiang Donghai asked, looking at the "watch" in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"Ah, this is a simple AI, which can be considered a small gift. I have already linked your points card and room card to it. You can complete the gene binding later."

"Genetic binding?"

"It's very simple. Just wear the smart device on your wrist and follow its instructions. However, there may be a slight pain because your blood needs to be drawn during the binding process."

"Okay, then I'm not afraid of pain. How about you stay a little longer before leaving? Is that alright?"

"Okay, there's no rush. Please bind it first, and I'll leave after you've finished."

"Thank you."

Even though Jiang Donghai had experienced countless storms, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed at this moment. However, his thick skin only made him feel embarrassed for a few seconds before he immediately followed Jian Lei's instructions.

One minute later, Jiang Donghai spoke first. Jian Lei, seeing this, knew that the binding was complete and said goodbye:

"It seems Captain Jiang has completed the binding process, so I'll take my leave then." Jian Lei stood up.

"Ah, okay, please thank Boss Qi for me, I'll see you off!"

"No need to see me off. Take a look at the smart device; I know this route quite well."

"Then I won't see you off."

Seeing Jian Lei's teasing look, Jiang Donghai shamelessly chimed in, then sat back down and began studying the AI.

Seeing this, Jian Lei shook his head, walked out of Jiang Donghai's office, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Sensing that Jian Lei had left, Jiang Donghai quickly got up, walked to the door, but didn't know to lock it. He then returned to his chair behind his desk.

After he sat down, he put his hands on the armrests of the chair and pulled them up. The entire office was immediately sealed off. A thin steel plate appeared over the original blinds of the windows, covering them completely without any gaps. The doors, the floor, and even the ceiling in front of them were also sealed off with steel plates.

Seeing the tightly sealed office, Jiang Donghai took out an oxygen cylinder from the drawer and put it on himself. He then began to study the computer. If someone were to enter his office at this moment, they would definitely not think he was a member of the brigade. They would think he was a mental patient who had escaped from some mental hospital. He would chuckle from time to time. Combined with the environment, even the most timid person would be terrified.

"Drip drip."

An urgent warning sound rang out, finally waking Jiang Donghai from his immersion in the quantum computer; the oxygen cylinder was empty.

Jiang Donghai finally snapped out of his daze, restoring the office to its original state. He unlocked the door, opened the windows to let in some fresh air. If it weren't for the oxygen tank's warning, he might have suffocated in the office, making a huge fool of himself. But making a fool of himself wasn't his concern; his real worry was who would benefit from these valuable items. Since the apocalypse began, these things had become increasingly rare, and now only the wealthiest and most powerful individuals could afford them. Moreover, there was the newly acquired room key; its benefits were self-evident.

After sitting there for a while, Jiang Donghai got up, left the office, and a while later, he appeared in the RV.

Guided by the computer, he arrived at the door of the RV's room, used the computer to unlock the door, and entered the room.

This room wasn't a typical large hotel suite; it was a standard one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom, and one-kitchen layout. The entire room was 36 square meters, with the bedroom at 15 square meters, an open-plan kitchen connected to the living room (also 15 square meters), and a 6-square-meter bathroom. Although small, it had a separate wet and dry area and even a sizable bathtub. Overall, if decorated to one's liking, it would feel very homey. After all, according to Jian Lei, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this room would be his. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahahaha, hehehe..."

Fortunately, he was alone in the room at that moment, otherwise he would have scared the person half to death. After a while, Jiang Donghai gradually stopped laughing. Perhaps he had been laughing for too long, because even after he stopped laughing, the corner of his mouth would still twitch from time to time. His ferocious expression made it seem as if he had been possessed by some unclean spirit. After a long while, Jiang Donghai felt that the twitching of his mouth had stopped, and then he carefully tidied his appearance in front of the mirror.

Looking at his neat reflection in the mirror, Jiang Donghai finally left the room with satisfaction and went to the convenience store in the RV, where he planned to buy some things to decorate his room.

Jian Lei saw Jiang Donghai and greeted him:

"Captain Jiang, are you satisfied with that little gift?"

"Satisfied, thank you very much, Manager Jian."

"You're welcome. Here's a little tip: you can upgrade to VIP if you spend a certain amount. The higher your VIP level, the more you'll receive."

"Okay, I see."

"I understand. I'll get back to work now. Goodbye, you're busy."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Jian Lei, Jiang Donghai happily went into the convenience store to shop. He wanted to buy everything he saw: a four-piece bedding set in every pattern, a nice pot, a nice basin, a set of pretty bowls, and those throw pillows would look great on the sofa, so he got a few too... Before he knew it, the extra-large shopping cart Jiang Donghai was pushing was completely full.

When Jiang Donghai arrived at the checkout counter, Jian Lei saw the cart full of items Jiang Donghai was pushing. He twitched his lips and proactively pushed another shopping cart over to Jiang Donghai, saying, "Put what you've paid for into this empty cart. Just push it back later and give it back to me."

After Jian Lei's comment, Jiang Donghai realized he had been a bit too excited. He pretended nothing had happened and silently started taking things out of his shopping cart to pay. Towards the end, for reasons unknown, Jiang Donghai suddenly asked Jian Lei a question:

"Should I sell this shopping cart?"

"Oh? You can sell them, but is it necessary?"

"Yes!" Jiang Donghai said the word "yes" with absolute certainty, a certainty that anyone who heard him speak could feel.

"Okay, I'll sell you one then. Wait a minute. By the way, what color do you like?"

"Black, I guess." Although surprised, Jiang Donghai still answered Jian Lei's question.

"Okay, just a moment."

Then, Jian Lei took a small black tag from under the counter, then fiddled with the counter a few times before handing the tag to Jiang Donghai.

"Here you go, just add this to your shopping cart and I'll pay here."

Jiang Donghai happily hung the price tag on the shopping cart full of items, then swiped his card to pay. When he saw the points on the card, he felt a momentary pang of regret, but it was only for a moment. The happiness he had experienced today was enough to offset the momentary pang of regret, and there was even some left over.

After paying the bill, Jiang Donghai happily pushed his fully loaded shopping cart back to his room, completely ignoring the surprised looks behind him. He didn't care at all; those people couldn't do anything to him anyway.
