This made them all the more cautious and calculating, so they felt even more regret about the gasoline that they couldn’t take with them.
No matter how much they regretted it, there was no solution—they had no sealed gasoline barrels to transport it in. Moreover, even if they had gasoline barrels, the space in their vehicles was limited; where would they put them?
For those without space, reality was this cruel!
Fortunately, their will had become very firm and was not easily shaken. After a moment of regret, everyone quickly controlled their emotions and drove into the motel.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a rather large parking lot with dozens of private cars, mostly ordinary. The cars were covered with a thick layer of dust which had become clean due to the rain, evidently all abandoned.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the parking lot had once been the site of a fight. Large patches of blood had turned dark brown and the original color was indistinguishable. Skeletons still lay tragically on the ground, their identities unknown.
At that moment, it was raining heavily, and even though they wanted to burn the skeletons, it was unfeasible until the rain stopped. Thus, the group no longer concerned themselves with the skeletons and chose a path that led directly to the front of the motel.
Fang Yuxin released his Spiritual Sense and discovered that there were quite a few skeletons inside the motel, but no zombies were found—probably they had left long ago.
The motel had three floors, each with twenty rooms facing each other. They specifically chose the third floor, avoiding the first and second floors.
After all, in the post-apocalypse, with mutated creatures emerging, the first floor was too vulnerable to attacks, and the second floor was easy to get trapped in. The third floor wasn’t absolutely safe, but in case of an emergency, they could jump from the upper floors.
Superpower users’ physical fitness was far superior to that of Ordinary People; even Ordinary People, if skilled, wouldn’t suffer severe injuries from jumping down three floors, let alone superpower users.
Of the twenty rooms, nine contained skeletons, but the remaining eleven rooms were relatively clean. They swiftly chose rooms from these and stayed together in pairs or trios, taking turns to keep watch at night.
The rooms included both double and single ones. The doubles each had two large beds which, if not too picky, could sleep at least four people.
Soon, the rooms were assigned. Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang took one room, Fang Yuxin and Shang Jinxiu another, Chen Qiao and four others squeezed into another, Chen Si, Hou San, Xu Wu, and Meng Qingluo shared one, leaving Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang with Bai Qianqian in a double room.
