Chapter 131 Dangerous Building
What is upper class society?

The upper class society is like a wealthy family with a smell of wine and meat, and the bones are frozen to death on the road.

In the elegant and luxurious dinner hall, the white cloth on the long table was clean and spotless, and there were sterling silver food display racks of different shapes. There were a variety of exquisite pastries that could not be named, and the aroma of wine filled the air. Mesmerizing.

Zhao Sanyuan has no hatred for the rich.

In his opinion, being able to enjoy these things is considered a person's ability, and slander, abuse, or arrogance can only prove one's inferiority.

But it was this incomprehensible form of enjoyment that he abhorred.

In less than 10 minutes, all the food on the tableware will be replaced with freshly baked food, and most of the replaced food will be thrown into the trash.

Little do they know that these wasted expensive foods will save the lives of many struggling ordinary people in winter.

Be it alms or gifts.

Are trash cans worth more than people in the eyes of the upper class?

So for a moment, Zhao Sanyuan wanted to turn around and leave.

Damn it, what does the death of these idiots have to do with me?
Looking around at the spiritual lamp called conscience on everyone's shoulders, it is almost as if it is not visible.

Until he saw Li Dongzhi working frantically in the corner. The light on his shoulder was much brighter than the others.

The second-in-command of the Chief Secretary didn't have much intention of taking advantage of the good opportunity to socialize. Instead, when others were not paying attention, he secretly put those expensive silver tableware in his pocket.

Zhao Sanyuan was amused by his unpretentious and wretched appearance.

He walked over and patted Lao Li on the arm.

"As for that? Your monthly salary is quite large, right?"

Li Dongzhi was startled, thinking that someone had caught him for his sneaky act. He was relieved when he found out that it was Zhao Sanyuan. He smiled and said: "You don't understand, brother, these tableware are actually disposable. Wait until the banquet." After it's over, it will be sold to some official's relatives at a very low price. If I don't take it, it would be a waste of money."

Zhao Sanyuan was stunned, "One-time? Why is it one-time?"

"Of course, gentlemen don't like to use washed tableware. Only using new tableware once every meal can show your ultimate nobility. This is one. The other is if you don't do this, how can some officials get kickbacks? Just like this It costs ten bucks to customize a fork, but it may cost less than one yuan when sold. How much money does it cost each time?"

It was like opening some evil door full of dirt.

Just from the slightest crack, you can smell the disgusting stench.

Li Dongzhi secretly put a pair of silver chopsticks into his pocket, and said with emotion: "Sooner or later, they will be sold at a low price. This is all taxes. Although I can't stop it with my words, but I can take a few sets back to my own home than being sold by some people." It’s better to sell cheap and get kickbacks.”

Dirty, philistine.

Lao Li is definitely not a perfect good person, but he lives a pure life. He is in the big dye vat of the temple and takes advantage as much as possible without destroying his conscience.

Zhao Sanyuan sighed slightly, put his arms around Lao Li's shoulders and said softly: "Listen carefully to me, because two zombies have entered the hotel, and the place has been blocked by Li Wansong's troops. Unless Lao Kang and I kill them or wait until dawn, Otherwise, no living person here can get out."

When the circle expands to certain areas, people's common sense will expand accordingly.

If ordinary people heard this, they would either sneer or be horrified.

But Lao Li just shook his whole body, then looked as normal, and lowered his voice and asked: "Is this what my father turned into? Although I didn't see him passing by at the time, I knew it was definitely not unusual, and the hotel should be repaired as soon as possible. Evacuation is the right thing to do, right? Why is there a lockdown?"

Zhao Sanyuan shook his head, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack outside, and it's like a turtle in a urn inside. Since they are actively burrowing into the building, how can we let them go and evacuate them? Evacuation is nothing. What if they escape along with the flow of people?" Besides, what does it have to do with me whether the bastards in this venue are dead or not?"

"But--"

"There are no buts, only extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times. Now Lao Kang has gone to get the guy from the room upstairs. When the zombies show up, he will run to our room on the third floor. Don't worry about anything, I He Laokang will be able to resolve the matter soon."

The reason why Lao Li was not asked to leave the venue and go upstairs directly was because Zhao Sanyuan had some speculation in his mind.

According to the records left by ancestors such as "Sou Shen Ji" and "Zi Buyu", the evil zombies are nothing more than Yin Zhi, Zi Zhan, Green Bronze, Mao Ba, Fei Jian, and Untransformed Bones. .

The higher the level, the higher the residual consciousness of the self during life. For example, Mao Ba is an extremely obvious watershed. When it reaches this level, it is no longer a simple sinister thing. Corpse energy can be embodied and attached to the surface of the skin. If you don't look carefully, it looks like a very thin layer of hair to protect it from the sun. In addition, it can speak human words. From the outside, it looks like ordinary people.

In contrast, whether they are Green Bronze, Purple Zombie or Shadow Zombie, they all act based on instinct. To put it bluntly, they are just to cause killing. They have no consciousness during life. At most, they retain some common habits and muscle memory during their lifetime.

So having said that, is it a coincidence that the two Zi Zhans came to the 1912 Hotel?

In Zhao Sanyuan's eyes, the answer is no.

Combined with the previous green bronze, is it really a tram that we boarded aimlessly?
I thought so at first, but after recalling what the driver brother said at that time, Zhao Sanyuan saw some clues.

That last train will pass by the 1912 Hotel!
This shows that it is no coincidence, this is their goal!

The key is not the hotel, but what is inside the hotel that attracts them!

Hatred.

Only extreme hatred and obsession before death will affect the zombie's instinct.

Following this line of thinking, the answer gradually became clearer despite seemingly having no clue.

people!
The zombies are out to kill someone or someone here!

Because talent is the root of all hatred!

There are two remaining mysteries. First, do the zombies have a common goal, or do they each have their own goals? Second, there were four corpses that were lifted into coffins last night, and one of them has not shown up so far. It's also unclear what type it belongs to.

But no matter which one it is, Zhao Sanyuan needs a more accurate judgment. Although the relationship with Lao Li is here, it does not mean that he simply believes that Lao Li has not done anything to be hated.

If the target of the zombies is really Lao Li, he will need to lure out the zombies and then completely eliminate them. In other words, all the living people in the venue are the bait trapped by Zhao Sanyuan, and no one is exception.

The difference is that some people Zhao Sanyuan wants to save, and some people just don't want to save him.

"Are you sure?" Li Dongzhi was unsure. The people attending this dinner were either officials or wealthy businessmen. Although their status was not high, they all had certain status in their respective fields.

After Guo Songling's mutiny, there was a round of purges within the Fengtian department, and many departments were forced to downsize. If the participants of this dinner were all taken away from each other, the consequences would be disastrous.

Even if Zhao Sanyuan had good intentions and secretly sealed off the hotel to avoid greater casualties, if there were too many casualties, the commander-in-chief would definitely scold the relevant people afterwards and use them as a punching bag.

When the time comes, no one, including Sanyuan, Xiaokang, Wansong and myself, can escape.

Li Dongzhi believed that Zhao Sanyuan would be able to think clearly about such a simple truth, but he still decided to do it, so he must be confident, right?
"So there is." Zhao Sanyuan shrugged, "It's not a big problem for me and Lao Kang to work together to deal with the two purple zombies. The key is whether we can solve it without casualties, but I don't care, as long as you keep your life. That’s it.”

Li Dongzhi smiled bitterly, "Thank you so much, brother. But in Sanyuan, not all officials here are rotten fish and shrimps. There are also good people and good officials. If you can save one, save one more."

"we'll talk about it then."

Zhao Sanyuan opened a bottle of orange soda again.

I have to say that this stuff is really satisfying to my taste. I drank seven or eight bottles in a row and still couldn’t get enough of it, especially when I burped, it felt so good.

The lights suddenly dimmed and the music style became soft and gentle.

On the dance floor, men and women began to put their hands on their shoulders and hug their waists in pairs, and countless hormones began to collide in the air.

Zhao Sanyuan did not resist this, even if it was easier for zombies to move in this darkness. He just grabbed Li Dongzhi beside him and scanned sharply with his eyes.

Hey, you two bastards had better take this opportunity to show up.
When you are in darkness, some filth and filth will follow.

Some began to speak obscenely, and some began to raise and lower their hands.

In addition to professional dancers, the dinner was also attended by the wives and daughters of many officials.

And until tonight, Zhao Sanyuan had only a little knowledge of the so-called upper class society, which was far more obscene than ordinary people imagined.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling curtains, where the light is the darkest.

"I haven't seen you for more than half a month. You seem to have a lot of meat? Xiao Wang only has a few dollars a month. I didn't expect to raise you so well."

"What does he have to support? If it weren't for your leadership, that good-for-nothing guy would have been squeezed out of his position by others."

"Haha, I really didn't help much. It's because my family likes him. Of course, what I appreciate most is that I have such a good wife like you. You are so considerate and know how to be a considerate leader."

"If he and the leader's wife fall in love again, will I still fall in love with you?"

"That's true."

"Then take a look at the vacancy of office secretary of the Third Division of the Government Affairs Office."

"Let's see if your kungfu has improved first. That's right."

Another example is the sofa in the corner.

"Godfather, it's your 66th birthday tomorrow. What gift do you want?"

"Well, the child is interested, but the godfather lacks nothing. Having you by his side is better than any gift."

"Look what you said, godfather. I will go to your house tomorrow night to serve you well and make sure you have an unforgettable birthday." "This girl, your godfather's life will be unforgettable every day with you by his side. By the way, you It’s your 17th birthday soon, tell your godfather whatever you want and he’ll get it done for you.”

"Really? Then I want to be the vice president of the student union of Northeastern Women's University. Now the vice president always bullies me because her family is rich."

"It's easy to talk about. I'll call the Feng Provincial Education Office tomorrow. Students in the student union must have both good character and academic performance to be qualified. We can't be vague."

"Godfather, you are the best"

"Okay. Okay."

Compared with the dirty things in the dim light, Zhao Sanyuan and Li Dongzhi seemed out of place, like people from two different worlds.

Lao Li has become accustomed to the filth that can be seen everywhere. He has been an official for a long time and knows who are good people and who are rotten birds.

Want to climb up?

There are so many pitfalls!
How many people are thinking about it!

Is always shining gold?

It is a pity that even if it is the humblest rag, as long as it is covered with gold, it will never shine in this life.

Therefore, in temples and workplaces, there is always no shortage of people who cover gold with rags, and there is no shortage of people who use rags to pretend to be gold.

And at a certain level, it is no longer just money that maintains a small circle.

Dirty is the best choice.

When the enjoyment of ordinary people is at their fingertips, they have already escaped the "low-level taste" to a certain extent. In their extravagant days, they need more stimulation to maintain the happiness of being superior to others.

But don't think that these people are simply looking for excitement.

The most essential reason is that only by dirty communication, dirty communication, and chaotic communication can everyone become the same black crow and gain admission to the upper class circles.

The nobles in the West are like this, and those in the East are not much better.

Zhao Sanyuan was very surprised, and his little heart was greatly shocked.

This circle was much dirtier than he imagined, but he knew that similar people had existed for thousands of years. They were not the first batch, and they would not be the last.

Just like the conversation between Zhao Sanyuan and Kang Muang.

Does the upper class eat chicken stewed with mushrooms every day?

No.

It is just a hard dish that is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy. Just looking at it can make your mouth water.

In fact, in the eyes of the upper class, 'chicken stewed with mushrooms' is just a piece of shit, and those at the bottom will regard it as Guibo.

This is true whether it is an object or a person.

So who doesn't care whether the 'Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms' is fragrant or smelly?
dead!

Whether it's cause and effect or coincidence.

When they come quietly, they are reality.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling curtains.

Warm liquid splashed on the woman's face.

She didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, she had experienced this feeling countless times.

In the dim light, with a charming smile on her face and seductive eyes, she stood up slowly and hugged the leader's neck to get ready to get into the topic.

But when he reached out to hug her, his arms were empty, and more warm liquid rubbed on his arms.

The strong fishy smell stimulated her sense of smell.

Before he could react, the world suddenly started to spin.

Vaguely, she seemed to see her own body.

no head.

Something was sprayed upward from the neck.
Except for himself, the leader’s head seems to be gone.
Behind the curtain, a man also without a head slowly walked out.

Women die with endless doubts.

Until her death, she didn't think clearly about what happened. In her mind, she still fantasized about becoming the secretary of the Third Division of the Internal Affairs Office in the future, imagining that her husband could have a deeper communication with the leader's wife, and then rise to the top.

Various things like this continued to happen in the dark venue.

But there are always people who will notice something strange in advance.

"Ahhhh-!!!"

The shrill scream completely covered up the sound of the gramophone.

Countless people were startled, but because the light was too dim, it was impossible to tell what was going on.

"what happened?"

"Who is it? Interfering with my enjoyment!"

"What are you yelling for?"

"Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights!"

"Don't crowd me!"

The lights suddenly turned on.

Because the lights were turned on with little warning, much earlier than expected, there were all kinds of eye-catching people in the corners of the dance floor, disheveled people with big white butts exposed.

Unable to adapt to the bright light for the time being, they all covered their eyes with their palms, which did not make the scene too embarrassing.

But only those with eyes.

Like something without eyes or even a head, it doesn't matter whether there is light or not.

A purple zombie can be said to be a tiger among the sheep.

Wherever it went, the living people either had their heads crushed or their still-beating hearts were pulled out.

Several more people died in the blink of an eye. The originally luxurious and elegant dinner venue turned into a living hell, and the smell of food and perfume was completely covered up by the smell of blood.

seeing is believing.

Li Dongzhi saw this ghost thing for the first time, and became more and more frightened after seeing the bloody storm it caused. He thought to himself that if Sanyuan and Xiaokang hadn't been there, everyone in the Li family's old house would have been transformed into evil spirits that night by the old man. Tired to death.

"What are you doing standing still? Run!"

Zhao Sanyuan pushed Li Dongzhi toward the stairs.

Fortunately, it at least showed that one of them, Zi Zhan, was not here for Lao Li, and it also showed that Lao Li probably didn't do anything unscrupulous.

Zhao Sanyuan's roar completely woke up the people who were still alive in the venue. When they found the corpse and the headless monster lying on the ground, they all ran out crying for their fathers and mothers.

What kind of pants should I wear and what kind of bellyband should I wear?
It's a matter of life!
But they soon discovered a more serious problem.

The door was locked from the outside with a large iron chain as thick as an arm!
Those in the front slapped the door frantically, while those in the back squeezed forward as hard as they could. After realizing that no matter how much they cried, they could not escape, these upper-class people all chose to run away, some to other rooms, and some to the stairs. Run up.

Perhaps because they have been pampered for a long time, many people rushed into the elevator, but they didn't expect that the 1912 Hotel has three floors. If they had time to take the elevator, they would have reached the top of the building.

Too bad no one warned them.

He was so close that he frantically pressed the mechanical handle that controlled the elevator, cursing the elevator for being so slow in response.

Just when someone pulled the elevator door closed.

An ulcerated dark purple hand jammed the iron mesh door and slowly opened it.

Terrified upper class people watch in horror as the headless zombies walk into the elevator.

Just in time, the elevator started to rise,,,,
