PFC Chapter 41 Goodbye Hostess
Chapter 41 Goodbye Hostess
Following the crowd and squeezing into the narrow corridor, the only sound I could hear besides the suppressed breathing in my ears was the chaotic footsteps.
Anjiu held his grandmother's hand, also in silence.
All personnel on the 48th floor gathered around the platform.
In the middle, the administrator wore the most appropriate navy blue suit and a dramatic red tie.
The floating monitor stopped broadcasting the message and passed over everyone's heads.
The administrator stepped sideways and gave the C position to a machine.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the floating monitor, watching it suddenly cast a screen-like image - it was three-dimensional, and the image quality was very clear.
Anjiu once again saw the glittering female host.
"This is an exciting time and I know there are many people wondering why it is happening twice in such a short space of time."
The female host moved her hair charmingly, looking very charming.
"If you have paid attention to time, you will know that the last time was at the end of the month, and this time is at the beginning of the month, it's just that the time interval is closer~
"I think everyone knows that the rainy season is coming soon, right? That is the annual resource grabbing period, which determines whether we can easily get through the long winter. I think this should be the day that everyone is looking forward to the most~"
Her slender and soft fingers were spread out to both sides of her body in a graceful arc, and her chin was slightly raised, as if she was enjoying the enthusiastic applause.
Snap, snap.
Only one person clapped in the quiet environment.
The administrator's cheeks flushed and he stared blankly at the virtual figure not far from him.
He only heard his own voice, without even turning his head, and said in a gloomy tone: "...Why don't you applaud? Do you think she is wrong?"
The air was stagnant. I didn't know who took the lead, but the sparse applause turned into a deafening roar in a few seconds.
"Thank you for your support." The female host smiled sweetly, "Let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point. Let's draw the list of people who will enter the other world this time."
The female host disappeared and was replaced by a magnificent golden lottery bucket. Since the wall of the bucket was transparent, one could clearly see that it was filled with cards with personal photos and names on them.
I don't know which button was pressed, but a small wind blew up in the lottery barrel, quickly causing all the cards to rotate, and countless faces slipped past the wall of the barrel.
A slender hand appeared at the top, fingertips flicking, as if hesitating about which one to draw.
Everyone's emotions became visibly tense.
The remaining fear in his body also affected An Jiu. The palms of his hands, which were holding those of Grandma An, began to sweat, and Grandma An was so nervous that she couldn't utter a word.
Very dramatically, one of the rolled-up cards flew straight into the jade hand.
"Huh? There's actually someone who came to me on his own initiative. Let me see who this warrior is."
The female host appeared next to the lottery bucket. She was half leaning against the lottery bucket. Her tight white skirt outlined her graceful figure. Her calves on high heels were hooked upwards, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
She slowly unfolded the card.
"It's a man~" She winked at the camera mischievously and said mysteriously, "He's a handsome man. If he dresses up well, I believe he will have many female suitors~"
Although it was clearly a compliment, Anjiu heard a faint sigh of relief coming from the audience.
"His name is--"
Even though they knew it wasn't them, the men were still so nervous that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
The female host opened her red lips slightly towards the camera, "Pu Huai."
It's him!
Anjiu was startled, he didn't expect that he would be chosen.
Grandma An pulled her hand down, leaned forward and said excitedly: "...That's great! Captain Pu is going too. He's a capable man. You'll be safe with him around! I'll go talk to him later and tell him that you're going too. Once you're there, at least you can take care of each other. Besides, since you're working under him, he'll definitely take care of you a little bit!"
Grandma An has never felt so relieved. Relying on the friendship she had always helped them in the past and the years of friendship as a neighbor, Grandma An thought positively that if she could risk her old face in exchange for a greater chance of her granddaughter returning safely, it would be worth it!
"Don't go looking for him."
"Hmm? W-what did you say?"
Grandma An felt like she was doused with a basin of cold water, and her excitement instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Why... I know that little girl is shy. It's okay. Grandma will go and talk to her. You don't have to show up. Grandma is here for everything! I can also do something for you. I don't just have to rely on you for food..."
Grandma An was eager to prove something.
Anjiu understands.
He reached out and held grandma in his arms, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his voice was slow but his pronunciation was clear: "Grandma, I know you are worried, I understand. But no, you can't go to him, we can't always rely on him, and I don't have the ability, he may not agree."
"I don't think he's like that..."
"Grandma, I've been to another world, and I know very well that no one there is trustworthy."
An Jiu didn't want to say it so bluntly, but he was worried that Grandma An wouldn't understand. He thought he was just too embarrassed to tell the truth.
Captain Pu is capable, but the other world is a place full of dangers. How could he be willing to bring a burden with him? An Jiu would think of the worst when things happened. What if, just in case, Captain Pu agreed on the surface but stabbed her in the back?
It's already difficult to survive there, and she has to be distracted by guarding against one person?
Unless he has absolute trust, Anjiu would rather be a lone wolf.
Grandma An's eyes widened, obviously she had completely underestimated the danger over there.
A person who has never experienced a crisis cannot imagine how terrifying such an environment is. Are teammates really teammates?
An Jiu knew from her expression that his words had completely refreshed her understanding of the other world, and she must be very worried.
But she couldn't leave her back to anyone, not even Pu Huai who gave her the job opportunity. She was cold-blooded or overly cautious, but she was determined to cut off the desire to rely on others.
No one is more reliable than yourself, and besides, Pu Huai doesn't owe her anything.
"Grandma, just pretend you know nothing and don't show anything. I can do it myself." An Jiu looked calmly at the center of the platform. The female host had drawn more than ten cards in a row.
All the chosen people were wailing and screaming, their faces turned pale, and they were trembling and almost fainting.
Within a few seconds, a vacuum zone formed on the side of the body.
The female host casually threw the card aside, put her right hand to her lips, and blew a kiss to the camera, "The chosen warriors, you can go downstairs first and pick a teleporter that you like. Maybe you will be lucky today and can reach a place with a high safety factor~"
Hearing this, the administrator turned to the dozen or so people who were selected and said in a very friendly manner: "You are free today and can make your own decisions. If you want to go down now, go ahead."
The lucky guy was terrified. Not falling down was already the limit. His mind was a mess. He could only look for help to the only calm person - Pu Huai.
The administrator walked to his side, turned sideways to block everyone's sight, quickly raised his hand and made a gesture, and whispered: "Brother Pu, you have worked hard. If you see Xiaomei downstairs, remember to tell her hello for me."
