A little while later, the young woman from the property management said that her colleague also said they hadn't seen her before. Could it be that she hasn't moved in yet? Maybe the house was bought by Jiang Kexin's parents, or maybe the property management knows her parents, but I don't have any photos or names of her parents.

I persisted: "Then can you check if there's a homeowner named Jiang Kexin?"

The property management staff smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry, we cannot disclose the residents' privacy."

I had a sudden inspiration: "It's like this, the things we found have identification information, it's about this person named Jiang Kexin."

The property manager peeked at my and Ji Lin'an's hands and said, "I see. But I can't just reveal customer information. Why don't you give me the items and I'll return them to you?"

Seeing how difficult the property management was, Ji Lin'an stepped forward with a troubled expression: "We found a bag with a lot of cash inside. It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that when we hand it over to you to return it to the owner, she says there's less money inside. So, is the responsibility yours or ours?"

The young woman working at the property management office was moved. She picked up her phone, made a call, and then sat down at the computer: "Please wait a moment while I check."

A few more minutes passed...

The property manager looked up and said, "We found out. This homeowner, Jiang Kexin, lives in Building 7. She hasn't moved in yet. I need to call her. If she agrees, I'll give you her contact information."

I tugged at Ji Lin'an's sleeve and walked to a corner. Ji Lin'an followed me over: "What if she contacts Jiang Kexin and Jiang Kexin says nothing is missing? Wouldn't that give us away?"

Ji Lin'an patted my hand: "It's okay, I'll handle it."

Then Ji Lin'an walked up to the property management office and said, "Miss, when you call Jiang Kexin, could you please not mention that we found a bag and cash? You know, there are too many people trying to extort money these days, and we're afraid too."

The young woman from the property management office nodded knowingly and called Jiang Kexin. After receiving permission, she gave us Jiang Kexin's phone number. After leaving the property management center, Ji Lin'an and I headed towards Building 7, keeping an eye on the surrounding villas along the way. The occupancy rate of this community was not high; out of more than forty buildings, the occupancy rate was less than fifty percent.

After walking for a while, we saw Building 7. According to Zhu Chen, they had seen Ji Lin'an and me at the garden entrance. We stood at the position between Building 7 and Building 2, where Ji Lin'an's house was located. The layout of this community was that buildings 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 were in one row, and 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 were in another. Next door was Building 5, where we had previously been hiding. The view was similar to that of Building 5, and we could see Ji Lin'an's house clearly. If we had stood in the garden on the fourth floor of the villa, the view would have been even clearer. Zhu Chen's house was dark. Looking through the iron gate of the garden, it didn't look like anyone lived there. The grass in the garden was withered, indicating that it hadn't been maintained for a long time. There were also some cardboard boxes of furniture and appliances at the entrance, so they probably hadn't been moved in yet.

After observing for a while, we saw security guards patrolling in the distance. Ji Lin'an then pulled me towards home: "They should be moving in in the next few days, or they got trapped when they were moving their things over."

I frowned: "If that's the case, how did they survive for two months? Your idea doesn't hold water. They couldn't have lasted that long without supplies."

Ji Lin'an thought for a while, then suddenly laughed: "You said you weren't clever, but you're quite smart, I didn't even think of that."

Feeling a little smug at being praised, she pressed her advantage, saying, "Normally, people wouldn't hoard so many supplies unless there are special circumstances, especially since they haven't even moved in yet. But I can't figure out what could have caused them to suddenly have so many supplies in just a few days that could sustain them for two months."

"Let's start keeping watch from tomorrow. If necessary, I think you can take the initiative to contact Zhu Chen or try to bump into them. Knowing Zhu Chen's personality, he will definitely be unable to resist showing off something to you. Then we can see if we can get the answer from it."

I nodded in agreement. By the time we got home, it was already completely dark. We each took a shower and went back to our rooms.

On the fourth day before the zombie outbreak, Ji Lin'an and I went to sit in the garden on the fourth floor after breakfast. We could see Zhu Chen's villa through the railing. No one had come yet. Ji Lin'an and I continued to review the situation: "If we don't kill zombies in five days, our skills will be disabled. Our community has a low occupancy rate and is located in a relatively remote area, so we won't encounter many zombies. In the end, we will still have to go out and search. Driving will be too noisy and may attract zombies, and we may also attract people's attention like last time."

"Yes, we'll be in danger if our location is exposed. We can't let others know we're here. If it happens again, we might not be able to drive people out successfully. Once our home is breached, our skills will be useless. The computer is inside, and carrying it every time we go out to kill zombies is a bit of a hindrance."

Ji Lin'an raised a finger: "I have a solution. No one lives in Building 5. We can put a Bluetooth speaker on and turn it on at a set time every day to make some noise and attract a few zombies to kill it. There are zombies in the community, so humans won't dare to approach."

I nodded in agreement: "It's a good idea, but it will only attract zombies from the surrounding area. Our area is very desolate."

Ji Lin'an said, "I drive down once a week to lure the zombies to the vicinity of the community, and then use the loudspeaker to lure a few zombies every day."

"Good idea..."

Before I could finish speaking, Ji Lin'an nudged me: "Zhu Chen and the others are here."

I immediately looked towards Zhu Chen's house. There were two trucks parked at the entrance of their garden, and two men got out of the trucks and carried the goods, one box at a time, into Zhu Chen's house.
