Quick Transmigration: Playing the Role of a Devoted Tool

Once down to the first floor, Qi Ran pulled Feng Yufan aside and said, "Actually, when we first arrived at the hotel, I vaguely smelled a faint scent of blood, the fresh kind."

Feng Yufan's expression turned grave. "Where?"

Qi Ran took a deep sniff, her gaze sweeping around the hotel before finally settling on her feet.

"It seems to be down below; there are several floors below the hotel, but we haven't been there."

"Never mind that, let's go." Feng Yufan had no desire to uncover any secrets. He pulled Qi Ran to the car outside the hotel, only to discover that the car had been tampered with when they were about to start it.

"Hold!"

Feng Yufan cursed and looked at the hotel building, where he could vaguely see a black figure standing on the balcony watching them.

"He did it."

Feng Yufan pulled Qi Ran out of the car and back into the hotel lobby.

"Wait for me, I'll go up and get him down."

"Be careful," Qi Ran instructed.

"He's just an ordinary person, he doesn't have any special abilities, don't worry," Feng Yufan assured him, patting his chest before turning away.

Qi Ran sat on the sofa in the lobby and waited for a long time, but Feng Yufan still didn't come down. A little worried about his safety, she went up the stairs, only to encounter the man on the first floor.

The other party did not see Qi Ran, and Qi Ran subconsciously hid in the shadows.

He's a zombie, he's not breathing, and as long as he doesn't make any noise, he won't be discovered.

Qi Ran watched him walk down to the next floor, his figure disappearing into the hotel's ground floor.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the faint smell of blood became even stronger.

Qi Ran twitched her nose and quietly followed.

The hotel's ground floor had been altered; it was filled with countless cages, and Qi Ran almost suffocated when she entered.

He saw living people, many living people, locked in cages.

They didn't scream, and... they had no eyes, only two bloody holes in their faces.

These people have been locked up for who knows how long. Even in cages, they are shackled on their hands and feet, like domesticated poultry.

Poultry might be better off than them, at least they have food to eat, while these people are starving and emaciated, barely clinging to life.

There was another room inside. Qi Ran approached and gently lifted the transparent film covering the door. He felt something swaying in front of him, and when he looked closely, his pupils widened in surprise.

It was a skeleton, all the flesh had been removed, and its feet were hanging from hooks, swaying back and forth.

Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind and grabbed Qi Ran.

He tried to struggle, but was pinned to the ground until another man locked his hands and feet before releasing him.

"Boss, you're right. This one is more tender than the one above, and the meat quality is definitely better. Don't worry, this batch of meat will definitely fetch a good price. Those idiots at the northern base don't care what kind of meat it is, as long as they can get cheap meat to eat."

Cheng Hai patted Qi Ran's cheek, then suddenly paused.

"Boss, come take a look. Is this kid a zombie? His eyes are red!"

The man in the white coat lowered his head, pinched Qi Ran's chin, looked up, and his expression changed slightly.

"It's a zombie," the man in the white coat asked Cheng Hai. "Did you really see that kid living with him for a few days?"

"Absolutely true," Cheng Hai assured him.

"This zombie is interesting. It doesn't eat people and even stays with them." The man in the white coat released his grip and told Cheng Hai to lock Qi Ran up.

Qi Ran hugged her knees, squatted in the cage, and watched them kill and eat people until everything returned to darkness.

[Host, this is the apocalypse. It's not as wonderful as it seems. Look at Cheng Hai; he even ate his own wife and daughters to survive the apocalypse.]

Qi Ran didn't speak, remaining in a daze.

[Host, are you alright?]

"Um."

[Don't worry, the main character and the others will come to rescue you. This is a plot point; the main character has now met Devon, who has infiltrated their group wearing colored contact lenses. They will be passing through here in a few days.]

You'll be free then.

Qi Ran rubbed her eyes and asked, "Is Feng Yufan alright?"

He escaped and will encounter the main characters on the road. It is because of his clues that the main characters were able to solve the human trafficking case at the base and gain a good reputation.

"That's good." Qi Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also worried that something might happen to Feng Yufan, and that he would be glad if Feng Yufan escaped.

Qi Ran, who was locked in the cage, couldn't perceive the time; it was the system that told him.

A few nights later, the man in the white coat returned.

He was injured this time, covered in blood, and limped to the nearest chair to lie down and catch his breath. After a while, he took out the first-aid kit and bandaged his leg.

The system told him that the man might have an antisocial personality disorder, and that instead of going to the base after the apocalypse, he immediately took the hotel staff hostage.

Most of the people in the cages in the basement were staff members who had managed to escape at the beginning.

The men had been almost completely eaten, and only a few women remained, barely clinging to life.

The others were hotel guests; they hadn't had time to escape either, having been tricked by Cheng Hai into a trap and imprisoned here ever since.

So, the hotel was under this guy's control from the very beginning.

He and Feng Yufan thought the hotel had electricity, but now they realize they had turned it on beforehand to trick them into joining the internet.

However, Qi Ran and Feng Yufan did not go to the hotel's storeroom to look for food, so they did not get infected.

On the contrary, it was when they were having a barbecue outside the hotel that day that angered Cheng Hai, which led him to lure Qi Ran into the trap and inform Feng Yufan.

Pat pat—

The man in the white coat walked up to Qi Ran's cage and squatted down.

"You can understand me, right?"

Qi Ran ignored him, and the man in the white coat didn't seem to care.

"If I get bitten by you, will I turn into a conscious zombie?"

Qi Ran still ignored him.

The man in the white coat unlocked the door and pulled Qi Ran out.

His injured leg didn't stop him from limping and grabbing Qi Ran, leading her into a pure white room.

The room was filled with all sorts of medical equipment, all of which were there to keep the girl in bed alive.

She looked very ill and was so thin she was barely recognizable.

The doctor in the white coat pulled Qi Ran to the bedside, carefully took the girl's hand out from under the blanket, and gestured for Qi Ran to take a bite.

"Take one bite, and I'll let you go."

"She's almost dead." Qi Ran lowered her head, took a small bite, and didn't break the skin.

"Push harder, zombie! You haven't even eaten a human after being a zombie for so long, have you?"

Qi Ran remained silent; he had never eaten it before.

However, he still obeyed and bit the girl's wrist hard until it bled.

Her blood is bitter.

Qi Ran was bewildered; it turned out that after becoming a zombie, one could actually taste blood.

The doctor in the white coat carefully held the girl's hand, wiped away the blood from her wound, and gently wrapped it with bandages, looking completely different from the man who had killed and chopped flesh.

Qi Ran asked curiously, "Why did you kill so many innocent people?"

"Ha, are they innocent?"

The man in the white coat smiled dismissively and told Qi Ran, "Before the apocalypse, my wife checked into their hotel, but in the middle of the night a naked man broke in and assaulted her. We did everything we could, but the hotel refuses to admit that the man was part of their group."

"A high-end hotel actually filled in the wrong guest information, and it just so happens to be my wife's room, and she just so happens to come in naked in the middle of the night."

"My wife couldn't bear this outcome, so she jumped off a building, and that's how she ended up like this."
