But now, the other party does not allow them to bring food inside, so his plan was thwarted.

Damn it.

The food he brought, though not a lot, was enough to last seven days if eaten sparingly.

Anyway, eating just a little bit every day would be enough.

But now, the other party seemed to have considered that and directly forbade them from bringing food.

"I think maybe the food in this hotel is somewhat strange."

Zhou Yingting listened to Qiao Peimu speak and didn't respond, just casting a slightly speculative glance at the hotel behind them.

Not allowing them to bring food means they are required to eat at the hotel.

It's just unknown if the food in this hotel has anything strange about it.

"Forget it, if we can't bring it, we can't bring it. At worst, after we enter the hotel, we'll just drink water. As long as we drink water, we should be able to last seven days."

Beside him, an Extraordinary thought for a moment and then said through gritted teeth.

A person can survive on just water for seven days, right?

The water in this hotel couldn't possibly have a problem too?

"I'm afraid things aren't that simple."

If the things in this hotel are truly bizarre, they definitely wouldn't let them exploit such a loophole.

As he spoke, Zhou Yingting's gaze fell on everyone's backpacks.

"Take all the food out and throw it away. Since this hotel has such rules, if we bring food inside, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Zhou Yingting advised the crowd.

Thinking it over, Zhou Yingting set aside his backpack, except for the Han Sword he carried.

He worried that if he brought anything inside, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

"Just throw it away."

Listening to Zhou Yingting, Zhang Yi nodded in agreement.

The copies specifically mentioned that hotel rules must be followed.

Now that even the bellboy said so, these things would have to be discarded.

The people from the 14th Bureau also nodded and began taking out their food supplies from their backpacks after hearing this.

"Why not eat a meal first? Although we don't know what's inside the hotel, having a meal now shouldn't violate any rules, right?"

Someone suddenly suggested.

Zhang Yi was momentarily stunned by this suggestion, then nodded, "Hmm, that's a good idea, let's all have a bit to eat."

As he spoke, Zhang Yi looked at a few newcomers and waved them over, "Come over, you guys can have some too."

After all, this stuff will be thrown away later, so it's better to let them have some as well.

The newcomers, hearing this, immediately perked up and quickly came over.

Zhou Yingting stood aside, watching this scene, hesitating for a moment before ultimately deciding not to eat.

He could produce some food himself and thought it might be better to check the situation inside the hotel first before deciding.

With his Refresh Entry ability, he shouldn't be discovered by people inside the hotel.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

The others with Zhang Yi had started eating when they saw Zhou Yingting standing aside, looking puzzledly at him.

Apart from Zhou Yingting, Shangguan Nana also had no intention of eating, seemingly considering the same as Zhou Yingting.

"I don't know the situation inside the hotel. I think it's better to check it out first; forget this food. I can afford to skip a meal."

Hearing Zhou Yingting's reasoning, Zhang Yi paused slightly.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he should do the same as Zhou Yingting and not eat.

But seeing the number of people on his side, he hesitantly decided not to adopt Zhou Yingting's actions.

Meanwhile, the people around them started eating voraciously, preparing to stuff themselves.

This way, they could last longer in the hotel without needing to eat.

"Ugh, how can this stuff be eaten?"

In the midst of the group's gorging, a sudden jarring voice rang out.

Zhou Yingting, who had been pondering the hotel inside, was startled by the words and looked up at the speaker.

What's with this guy, at a crucial life-and-death moment as they're about to enter a hotel where the food might be problematic?

In this kind of situation, how could he complain about the food?

Was he spoiled by a life of luxury?

Zhou Yingting thought this, frowning at the speaker.

At this moment, others chimed in, "Yeah, what's up with this stuff, is it expired? Why is it so hard to eat?"

"How can you eat this stuff when it's all moldy?"

Others joined in, throwing the food in their hands to the ground, spitting several times.

They wore expressions of clear distaste.

Seeing this, everyone was taken aback.

"What's with you people, being given food to eat, but instead of being grateful, you say such things."

"How is this stuff expired? We're eating it just fine. It's only you who says it's expired."

One person, understanding the situation, immediately retorted.

"That's nonsense. This stuff is expired. How can you eat it?"

"Yeah, this stuff has a strange taste. I don't know how you manage to eat it."

Several people spoke up.

It indeed seemed as if the food was really expired.

Zhou Yingting frowned, looking at the food on the ground, his face filled with confusion.

Was this food really expired? It didn't seem so.

How could the supplies from the 14th Bureau possibly be expired?

Moreover, other people were eating it, and it didn't seem expired.

Zhou Yingting felt bewildered.

"If you think it's expired, then don't eat it."

Now wasn't the time for arguing, Zhang Yi quickly interrupted.

The people who didn't get to eat seemed a bit resentful.

But seeing Zhang Yi's group with more people, they had no choice but to let it go.

"Hurry and eat, it looks like it's getting dark."

As Zhou Yingting watched those individuals, pondering, Shangguan Nana suddenly spoke.

"Getting dark?"

Everyone instinctively looked up upon hearing this.

Indeed, although the surroundings were covered in fog, the area seemed to be darkening.

The distant hotel was the only light source there.

Whether it was an illusion, but as the sky darkened, there seemed to be something in the thick fog around them.

"Let's go."

Feeling an unsettling sensation, Zhou Yingting immediately headed toward the hotel.

The people behind him hurriedly gulped a few mouthfuls and followed.

When everyone arrived at the hotel entrance again, the bellboy was still standing there, seemingly unmoved.

The smile on the bellboy's face remained unchanged from before.

Initially, they found his smile quite amiable.

But now that time had passed with his unchanging smile, it appeared rather eerie.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to check into the hotel?"

The bellboy turned to the crowd, his neck seeming stiff.

"Yes."

Zhou Yingting nodded.

The bellboy approached and guided, "Then let me take you to the front desk to check in."

With that, he led the group into the hotel.

As they entered the hotel, a dozen reception women approached in a line, holding flower crowns in their hands.

When they reached the group, they placed the flower crowns on them.
