Excessive ferocity due to caution

"I am a guest of this hotel and I am searching for survivors."

The sound from the other side of the door was rather faint.

"The door... is blocked, we can't get out."

Zhao Yi gently tapped the door with the handle of his scalpel, and then began to cut apart the boulder blocking the doorway.

The chaotic damage allowed Zhao Yi to easily separate the rubble.

Before long, he dealt with the boulder and then cut the lock on the door.

Open the door.

In a room where the lights flickered on and off, a woman huddled in a corner, holding a baby.

There was a pile of sponges for mops.

This is also the reason why the woman and the baby in her arms survived.

However, even with the foam cushioning, the woman was not in good condition at the moment.

Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, likely indicating significant internal organ trauma and some internal injuries.

It won't kill her, but it will affect her mobility.

Zhao Yi stepped forward enthusiastically.

He took the baby from the woman's arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

The woman gave Zhao Yi a grateful look.

"Thank you."

Zhao Yi looked at the sleeping baby in his arms and asked the woman;

"By the way, do you have the authority of Person A?"

The woman's expression stiffened slightly.

She slowly raised her head, and by the light of the still-sparkling lamp above her, looked at Zhao Yi holding her child, feeling a dryness in her throat.

"What would you do if I said I wasn't...?"

Zhao Yi held the baby high, his face radiating righteousness:

"rest assured."

Even if you don't have the authority of Level A, I won't do anything to you.

The woman's legs went weak at the sight, and she hurriedly cried out:

"Don't hurt my child!"

"My daughter and I are both guests with Level B access. As long as you don't harm her, I'm willing to take you to the fifth floor!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi took the baby back into her arms and gently rocked it.

"Why!"

"Whether it's the fifth floor or not is irrelevant; the important thing is saving lives!"

"We doctors are best at dissection... oh no, I mean saving lives."

"The hotel has fallen so much; there must be injured people on the fifth floor. Every minute I get there sooner I can save one more person..."

The woman paid absolutely no attention to the nonsense Zhao Yi was spouting.

Her attention was entirely focused on the baby Zhao Yi was holding.

I was extremely nervous.

"There's no one on the fifth floor."

"There were people on the first floor... Before the earthquake, the hotel organized an event that sent all the guests to the first floor."

A glint of light flashed in Zhao's eyes.

"There are always a few guests who don't like socializing..."

The woman replied vaguely:

"Maybe... but even if they stayed on the top floor, they might not survive, right?"

"But don't worry, I will definitely take you to the fifth floor... as long as you don't hurt my daughter!"

Zhao nodded and said:

"I trust you!"

"Building trust between people is that simple, isn't it?"

"If everyone were just a little more sincere, the world would instantly become a better place!"

The woman cursed inwardly.

You're so sincere, what a load of rubbish!

If you're sincere, just give my daughter back to me!

Damn it!

I should have kept quiet!

But criticism aside...

In truth, the woman knew that if Zhao Yi hadn't come, she wouldn't have had any way to escape from the storage room on her own.

That big rock outside will become her death knell.

Thinking of this, the woman glanced towards the door.

The ground was littered with broken stones.

She didn't hear any loud noises just now, so how did Zhao Yi manage to break the stone?

The two left the storeroom and walked forward along the dark corridor.

Besides the scattered dismembered limbs and corpses, there were also many broken pinhole cameras.

"Don't you think there are too many cameras here?"

"If it's just for monitoring hotel guests, it seems unnecessary to have so many cameras."

The woman hinted indirectly.

Zhao nodded:

"Indeed, this hotel has an absurdly large number of security cameras..."

"Could it be...?"

The woman's eyes lit up.

"Could it be something?"

Zhao Yi seemed to be deep in thought:

"Could it be that the original hotel management wanted to observe my stunning beauty from multiple angles?"

woman:"……"

She looked intently at the cameras, wanting to say something to Zhao Yi, but in the end she sighed and changed the subject.

"By the way, my name is Kwan Chi-lok, what's yours?"

"Zhao Yi".

The two chatted briefly.

"Kwan Chi-leung, why are you here?"

"My husband abandoned me because I didn't give birth to a boy. I want to leave my hometown and go somewhere far away to clear my head... What about you?"

"Ah, about the same as you!"

"???"

Guan Zhile felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

That's ridiculously perfunctory!

Can't you even be bothered to make up a reason?!

The two continued forward.

The road ahead was cracked in many places, and when Zhao Yi got close to the hall, he found that the road was blocked.

Moreover, there was a severe landslide on the fallen boulder.

"Don't touch this boulder."

"Otherwise, it could very well trigger a series of collapses."

After a careful examination, Zhao Yi said.

Guan Zhile looked surprised.

She originally thought Zhao Yi was just a narcissistic and careless person.

However, Zhao Yi's actions at this moment clearly demonstrated his caution.

Guan Zhile breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Zhao Yi earnestly carrying her daughter around to survey the terrain.

That's true...

To survive such a severe earthquake unscathed must require considerable skill.

Simple little details made her start to pay more attention to Zhao Yi.

Originally, Guan Zhile planned to wait for the right opportunity to take back her child and then find a way to get rid of Zhao Yi.

With her Class B privileges, she can eliminate the vast majority of guests within the first five floors!

But now, she's starting to have designs on Zhao Yi.

I don't know what this guy did before, but his mental fortitude and many subtle behaviors show that he is extraordinary.

If they cooperate properly, perhaps the mother and daughter will be able to safely enter the fifth floor of the hotel!

Unlike most guests, Guan Zhile was very clear about the cruel environment he was in!

It would have been impossible for the mother and daughter to make it to the fifth floor of the hotel alive!

"We've found the way."

Just as Guan Zhile was secretly observing Zhao Yi, the latter suddenly spoke.

Then he took out a scalpel and began carefully cutting along a collapsed section of landslide debris.

The balance is delicate in many places.

Once an excessive movement disrupts the balance, it will trigger a series of reactions.

Zhao Yi quickly dug a small gap.

Light was shining from that direction.

Zhao squeezed through by turning to one side.

Seeing this, Guan Zhile hurriedly followed behind Zhao Yi.

After passing through the passageway, the two quickly arrived at the central hall on the first floor, where there were about fifty people. Several burly men with guns were blocking the passageway leading upstairs, eyeing the others menacingly!

The scene was thick with tension!

P.S.: I'll see if I can finish the first chapter today, and then I'll do a live stream tonight to play games and chat for a while.

If I don't finish writing, just pretend I'm talking nonsense.
