(First update is here, a bit late, but luckily I finished writing it before 1 AM. I'm out of drafts now, so I'll just post whatever I write. I'll definitely be posting three updates a day, don't worry. Finally, please recommend and add to your favorites, thank you!)

When I arrived outside the dormitory building, I saw Pu Weichao and Zhang Zhihao returning from the supermarket.

The police car also moved the remaining half of the supermarket's contents back.

While moving things, Pu Weichao asked, "How did it go? Did you get anything out of them?"

I said, "I only asked the first question, and I didn't ask the rest. I couldn't tell there was anything wrong with him. At first, he hid some things from me, but he confessed later."

"What kind of thing?" Pu Weichao asked me curiously.

"The matter of murder."

Pu Weichao paused for a moment, then said, "Tell me more about it."

Immediately, I relayed what I had heard to Pu Weichao.

Pu Weichao chuckled and said, "That's quite normal. If it were me, I probably would have kept it a secret too."

I chuckled softly and said nothing.

Pu Weichao continued, "You only asked about this one? You didn't ask about the others?"

I said, "The rest is up to you. I can't figure anything out."

Pu Weichao nodded: "Alright, leave it to me. Go and inform Fei Lichao about this matter, and tell him to come back early today so we can discuss how to deal with this guy surnamed Zhou."

"Um."

That evening, after discussion, everyone decided to keep him there for a while and observe him before making any further decisions.

If he is trustworthy, then keep him; if not, then forget about him.

The way we observed him was naturally by each of us taking turns, observing him around the clock. Even when we were sleeping at night, we had to keep an eye on him from the next dorm room to prevent him from doing anything sneaky.

...

The following morning, Pu Weichao found Zhou Liang.

“We discussed it last night. You can stay, but you must take on some obligations.”

"What obligation?" Zhou Liang's eyes lit up with joy when he heard that he could stay, but his expression changed when he heard the word "obligation".

Pu Weichao said, "It's nothing serious, it won't put your life in danger. You just need to take turns on duty every day. The duty is to walk around the edge of the school and take care of any zombies you see. There will be someone with you, so don't worry about anything."

Zhou Liang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Oh, I see. Then no problem."

Pu Weichao smiled, "I haven't finished yet. Besides that, we go out about every three days to find food and supplies. After all, there are more than a dozen of us here, and the consumption of these things is quite high. I think since you have experience surviving outside, this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Zhou Liang nodded: "I understand. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since you're willing to trust me, I'll definitely show you my abilities."

Pu Weichao nodded: "It's good that you understand. I won't say anything more to you. It's best if you don't touch firearms for now, as they are too dangerous. Okay, you can rest now. Starting tomorrow morning, you and Xiaonan will be on duty together."

Zhou Liang glanced at me and said, "Okay, okay, I will do my best."

...

The third day, the day Zhou Liang and I were on duty together.

The day passed peacefully because there weren't many monsters around the school. Even if there were, there were only one or two wandering in the distance, and they wouldn't come over unless you attracted them.

I strolled leisurely to the school gate.

I asked, "I have a question for you, I hope you don't mind."

Zhou Liang asked in confusion, "Hmm? What's the problem?"

I looked him in the eyes and asked, "Besides your classmates, who else have you killed?"

Zhou Liang was taken aback, then shook his head: "No more."

I smiled slightly. "Really?"

Zhou Liang looked at me with a conflicted expression: "Of course it's true. I don't need to lie to you about this. Since you're willing to let me stay, I certainly wouldn't dare to hide anything else."

I smiled and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

Zhou Liang's eyes showed some displeasure as he said, "Of course I'm nervous when you ask that. What if you think I'm lying to you? What if you want to kick me out?"

I nodded, not refuting his words, but changed the subject, saying, "I remember you told me before that you came to Jiajiang to find your parents, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"In that case, when do you plan to go look for it?"

Zhou Liang looked at me, puzzled. "Brother, why do I feel like you're so prejudiced against me? The questions you're asking feel like you're trying to get rid of me."

I didn't admit it, but that's what I really meant.

I can't say I trust Zhou Liang. In fact, I had the idea of ​​not letting him stay during the meeting the night before last, but Pu Weichao wanted to give it a try, so let's give it a try.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Zhou Liang said unhappily, "Since you want to know, brother, then let me put it this way. I really want to go find my parents, but I know my own abilities. If I go alone, I definitely won't be able to find them. I might even die on the way..."

"So you want to use us to help you find your parents?" I asked immediately afterward.

Zhou Liang's words caught in his throat, and he finally said helplessly to me, "I didn't want to use you, I just wanted your help. If you really don't want to come with me to look for it, I don't care, I can just go find it myself."

Zhou Liang got a little angry and turned to leave.

I followed behind him and said with a smile, "I'll ask you one last question. After that, I won't argue with you anymore."

Zhou Liang stopped and looked at me.

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "You said you're a student at Jiajiang College, so let me ask you, do you know a girl named Wang Luyao?"

Zhou Liang's expression froze.

...

For the next two weeks, we basically took turns observing Zhou Liang. Each of us had a different attitude towards him. Fei Lichao and I were basically just arguing with him and making him angry, but we managed to get a lot of useful information from it.

Pu Weichao and Shen Dian remained amiable, which made Zhou Liang think they were both nice people.

As for Yan Zhengfeng, he remained silent as always. Even when Zhou Liang spoke to him, he would only utter a word or two at most.

After a week, we also discovered something: while we were testing him, he was also testing us, trying to figure out the relationship between our group and what had happened to us in the past.

We didn't think much about it; anyone would be wary of him in that situation.

Although I'm still hesitant to fully trust him, after a week of observation, he seems fine so far. However, whether he can stay or not is still uncertain; we can only continue to observe.
