"Motherfucker, you dare scare me!" Hu Lao Da hated being intimidated the most, especially when the other party was weaker than him. His expression turned fierce, and he snatched the Type 81 rifle from Gao Chujiang's hand. Carrying Zhang Xu on his back, he aimed and fired into the interior with one hand.

  Numerous bullet holes appeared on the tempered gss, which immediately cracked like a spider web but didn't shatter completely. Bullets hitting the furniture behind sent wood chips flying, accompanied by the terrified screams of many men and women inside. It was clear that there were no fewer than ten people inside.

  Lin Tao wanted to stop Hu Lao Da, as the guy was spraying bullets indiscriminately, clearly aiming to kill. But bullets travel faster than words, and since the shots had already been fired, Lin Tao couldn't undo it. He could only quickly pat Hu Lao Da's shoulder to stop him and then sprinted forward like a cheetah, kicking the cracked sensor door to pieces.

  The furniture piled in front of the door couldn't possibly reach the ceiling over a dozen meters high, so there must have been some gaps. After kicking the gss, Lin Tao casually threw his rifle to Gao Chujiang behind him and nimbly climbed up the pile of furniture. As soon as he poked his head out, he drew his pistol from his waist.

  "Bang bang..."

  Two shots rang out, not fired by Lin Tao but as a return fire from inside the hotel. However, the two bullets were not aimed at Lin Tao but were instead fired warningly into the furniture. They probably didn't expect Lin Tao to climb in so quickly.

  "Put down your guns. We won't hurt you!" Lin Tao squatted on top of the pile of furniture, holding his gun in one hand, and instantly saw the entire situation inside. There were about ten survivors in the hotel lobby, including men and women, Asians and Europeans. The most eye-catching was a burly European man who, despite being shot in the shoulder, still stubbornly held his pistol, ready to fight to the death.

  "Bang..."

  Lin Tao suddenly fired, hitting next to the European man. The rge-caliber .45 bullet directly blew away a piece of marble flooring, and the shattered stone chips spshed onto the man's face, causing him to cry out in pain. Lin Tao steadily pointed his gun at him and said in English this time, "I don't want to repeat myself. We mean no harm. If you continue to resist, I will have no choice but to take you down!"

  "Damn it! Who are you? Why did you hurt Juan?" A blonde woman in a bright green skirt excitedly pounced on the burly man, gring at Lin Tao with a mix of fear and anger. She was also a European woman, young and beautiful, but her tall stature was unusual, estimated to be over 1.8 meters. Her sexy face with a hint of wildness made Lin Tao feel somewhat familiar, subconsciously thinking she must be a movie star.

  The few Asians behind her stood uneasily, each holding homemade cold weapons but none daring to step forward to argue with Lin Tao. Among them, a middle-aged man who had already wet his pants seemed to be the one who had been leading the shouting earlier.

  "Sorry, we are just defending ourselves and didn't intend to hurt you!" Lin Tao shook his head helplessly at the wounded man, while the European woman protecting him suddenly jumped up like a lioness, pointing at Lin Tao and shouting angrily, "You murderers, invading someone else's pce and trying to kill people, you all deserve to go to hell!"

  "Russian?" Lin Tao looked at her unexpectedly because her English was very poor, and only Russians could make English sound so slurred, as if they always had a mouthful of water, making it hard to understand. Lin Tao was about to expin further when he caught a glimpse of a sharp glint aimed at him from the corner of his eye. Lin Tao swiftly turned his gun towards the direction and didn't fire, turning his head and calmly said, "I've already given you a chance. If your finger moves again, the one who dies will definitely be you, not me!"

  "Is that so? Should I be grateful to you then?" A brown leather sofa behind him moved, and an Asian man in a bck shirt slowly stood up, holding a rugged crossbow steadily, with the bow resting against his shoulder. Unfazed by Lin Tao's warning, he tilted his head and looked at Lin Tao through the scope, sneering, "Don't think this is some street junk. I've used it to take down a wild boar and over twenty zombies. Who knows, maybe a few more humans won't make a difference!"

  "What? You really want to try?" Lin Tao slowly turned his head, looking at the other party with some surprise. This was a robust man in his forties with short hair that exuded masculinity. From his cold eyes, it was evident that this man had been through rough times and wouldn't hesitate to fight Lin Tao to the death.

  "No! I don't want to try at all!" The man suddenly rexed his grip on the crossbow, his stern expression dissipating, repced by a friendly smile. Then, standing up straight, he said to Lin Tao with composure, "I did this just to show you that we are not pushovers and won't be bullied! Alright, come down quickly. Your companions are still outside. Attracting the zombie horde would be disastrous!"

  "Yunfei, don't let them in. They hurt Juan!" The blonde woman blew up again, crying and rushing towards Lin Tao, and from her crazy actions, she even tried to push Lin Tao off the pile of furniture.

  "Enough, Sawa!" The man with the crossbow hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the blonde woman, and roared at her in a very low voice, "What are you doing? Do you want to joke about all our lives? They have more than just a pistol; they also have rifles. They could easily wipe us all out!"

  "But... but they shot Juan. They are murderers!" Sawa looked at him tearfully, but her crazy actions finally stopped, and the man helplessly said, "What you should do now is take care of Juan. At least he's not dead yet, right? Go quickly!"

  After saying that, the man pushed Sawa away, handed the crossbow to a young man, and strode towards Lin Tao. By then, Hu Lao Da and the others had already started climbing in. The man reached out his hands and proactively helped the injured Zhang Xu down. After all four of them were on the ground, the man extended his hand to Lin Tao with a smile, "Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Yue Yunfei, a former shareholder of this hotel."

  "Lin Tao!" Lin Tao shook hands with Yue Yunfei, immediately feeling the roughness and calluses, not at all like the hands of a businessman, more like those of a farmer accustomed to hard bor.

  "Hehe~ I'm a restless person. When I'm free, I either work out or climb mountains. My hands are as rough as a farmer's!" Yue Yunfei keenly noticed the slight surprise in Lin Tao's eyes and ughed it off as self-deprecation. Then, letting go of Lin Tao's hand, he turned back and called out, "Xiaojie, Jian Dong, you two quickly find some things to block the door tightly and use disinfectant to eliminate the smell. Hurry up!"

  Two young men quickly ran out from behind Yue Yunfei, dragging several pieces of scattered furniture and decorations from the lobby, skillfully stacking them into the hole where Lin Tao and the others had entered. Yue Yunfei also tirelessly introduced Lin Tao and the others, "The one in the shirt is Xiao Jiang, Jiang Jie, and the one in the suit on the right is Ding Jiandong. These two young men are from our hotel's marketing department. Come on, everyone, let's get acquainted!"
