When Fei Lichao and his companion came into my room, they were taken aback to find only Yan Zhengfeng and me there. Pu Weichao asked, "Xiaonan, what's going on?"

After everyone saw what was happening here, they all wanted to come and ask me what had happened. Luckily, I found an excuse to send them away, otherwise, with so many people crammed into the room, I probably wouldn't have been able to explain.

After glancing at Yan Zhengfeng, Yan nodded with a conflicted expression.

Immediately, I recounted the whole story, including Qian Cheng's matter.

Pu Weichao's expression remained unchanged, while Fei Lichao was incredibly surprised.

"I don't know what to do now. Do you two have any good ideas?" Seeing Pu Weichao's calm appearance, I figured he must have some guesses about this.

Fei Lichao looked at Pu Weichao: "Do you have a solution?"

Pu Weichao shook his head and said, "This matter is a bit difficult. No matter what, Yan Zhengfeng is ultimately at fault, but given the current situation, we can't just kick you out, can we?"

Getting rid of such a thing is simply unrealistic.

However, Yan Zhengfeng said, "If you really want me to leave, I don't mind leaving here and finding a place to stay temporarily, so that it will be easier to keep an eye on the surrounding situation."

Fei Lichao and I stared at him in surprise.

Pu Weichao frowned. "Alright, stop with the nonsense, it's useless. The most urgent thing now is to come up with a win-win solution that can get Zhang Zhihao to accept it."

Fei Lichao said, "That kid is something else. He's as stubborn as an ox when he gets angry, and he's quite strong."

Pu Weichao rolled his eyes, stroked his chin which had grown a beard, and seemed to be deep in thought.

My mind is in a mess, and I don't know what to do now. This whole thing happened purely by chance. Whether I let Yan Zhengfeng go or let Zhang Zhihao beat him up, it won't solve the problem at its root.

A few minutes later.

“It’s very difficult…” Pu Weichao shook his head and said after a long while.

Fei Lichao, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. "What the hell did you manage to say after holding it in for so long?"

Pu Weichao rolled his eyes at him, "If you're so good, then you do it!"

Yan Zhengfeng said, "Should I go and talk to him to clear things up?"

Pu Weichao looked at him and asked, "Was it useful?"

Yan Zhengfeng paused for a moment.

Pu Weichao said, "What's the point of going there? He'll just beat you up if you go."

Yan Zhengfeng stopped talking. I could tell that he understood that this was a mistake he made on impulse. If he had been able to calm down and think it over carefully, I probably wouldn't have suffered so much, and Qian Cheng wouldn't have died.

The current situation would not have occurred then.

Furthermore, considering that I concealed this matter from Zhang Zhihao, I estimate that Zhang Zhihao probably hates me even now.

Just as we were trying to figure out what to do, the dormitory door suddenly opened, and Li Ming, who had lost an arm, ran over panting and pale-faced, saying, "It's bad, Zhihao, that kid Zhihao ran away!"

"What?! They ran away!" I exclaimed, jumping out of bed in shock.

"What happened?" Pu Weichao asked.

Li Qiming said, "I just turned around to go to the restroom, and this kid disappeared! I thought he came looking for you guys! Just now, I saw him run to the school gate!"

"That brat!" Pu Weichao cursed. "Don't just stand there, go after him! We can't let him go out there and get himself killed!"

When it came to taking action, Fei Lichao reacted the fastest. "Old Yan and I will split up to search, you two go together, let's go."

The four of us left the dormitory building, got into the car, and drove to the school gate. After getting out, we scattered and went our separate ways to search. Because we didn't know where Zhang Zhihao had gone, we had no choice but to split up and search.

Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to this kid. He was quite capable during training, but if he's determined to die, then there's nothing we can do.

However, he probably won't go looking for death.

Yan Zhengfeng is his enemy, and he hasn't even gotten revenge yet, so how could he possibly go looking for death?

With that in mind, Pu Weichao and I ran south. Pu Weichao had a walkie-talkie on him, so we could contact each other if anything happened.

"I wonder where that kid ran off to. Yan Zhengfeng and Fei Lichao are both soldiers, don't they know how to track him down?" Pu Weichao muttered to himself, seemingly annoyed by such trivial matters.

I said, "They definitely know what they're doing, but there's no trace of them at the school gate. How can we track them down?"

Pu Weichao said, "That's because we can't tell. Do you think those two can't tell? Alright, stop talking nonsense and let's search. I don't think that kid would go to a place with lots of zombies."

I nodded, thinking that made sense.

Pu Weichao and I went out onto the street. There were quite a few monsters there, but we both walked very quietly. The monsters were in disarray in the wind and didn't notice us at all.

We tiptoed across the street to the bus stop on the other side. We climbed onto the bus stop's awning and looked around. Apart from abandoned vehicles and monsters, there was no sign of Zhang Zhihao.

I picked up my binoculars and looked into the distance, but I didn't find anything.

"Any clues?" Pu Weichao asked, standing beside me.

"No, there's no sign of him here," I said.

“This is troublesome. If he runs this way, this is the only safe place. He can’t run to the stadium, I reckon it’s full of zombies.” Pu Weichao glanced at the stadium in the distance.

"Let's go check it out. This kid's distracted right now and probably doesn't know his way around. What if he really ran off over there?" I said.

"Alright, let's go take a look then," Pu Weichao said, frowning.

We jumped off the awning.

puff!

When Pu Weichao jumped down, he landed right on a corpse. Blood gushed out from the body and splattered on him, soiling his clean clothes that he had just changed into.

"Damn it," he cursed irritably.

I chuckled and said, "Let's go, don't worry about these little details."

"You bastard, it wasn't you who got the clothes dirty!" Pu Weichao rolled his eyes at me.

We ran towards the stadium. Just as we arrived at the entrance, before we even had a chance to observe, Pu Weichao exclaimed in surprise after killing two monsters.

"Xiaonan, look! Isn't that kid in the gymnasium?!"

We are now on the road outside the stadium, about a hundred meters away from the stadium itself. I picked up my binoculars and saw Zhang Zhihao running into the stadium, with several monsters chasing after him.

Seeing this scene sent chills down my spine.

We don't even know what's going on inside the stadium. For him to rush in like that, isn't he just asking for trouble?

Pu Weichao was also anxious and shouted, "Hey, Zhang Zhihao!"

His shout was heard by all the monsters around us. In an instant, I got goosebumps all over my body and felt like I was going crazy!
