(That's all for today's update, see you tomorrow.)

A few minutes later, Zhou Liang came down from up there.

I patted the police car and said, "Get in, you can give me directions."

Zhou Liang frowned as he looked at me, his eyes full of confusion.

"What, is there another problem?" I asked.

Zhou Liang shook his head: "There's no problem, but I don't quite understand why you're driving there. Jiajiang College isn't far from here. Even if you take a detour, it only takes an hour to walk there. Driving out like this, so swaggering around, will definitely attract a lot of zombies. It's safer to walk."

I paused for a moment. To be honest, I didn't know the exact location of Jiajiang College. I only knew it was in the vicinity. I drove there for convenience and also planned to find some supplies.

But now that I think about it, should I just walk over there?

In this way, we can observe Zhou Liang's reactions and abilities along the way. If we drive, we'll arrive at our destination directly, and there will be no way to see Zhou Liang's specific performance.

After thinking it over, I said, "Okay, let's do as you say and go over there."

Without any hesitation, I handed him the machete, and we set off.

As soon as we left the school gate, he asked me, "Hey, Brother Lu, what's your relationship with this Wang Luyao? Why are you so concerned about her?"

I didn't hide anything; there was no point in hiding it anyway.

"She's my sister, or rather, a relative. We've had a pretty good relationship since we were little, which is why I wanted to find her."

Zhou Liang didn't react much, and after asking that question, he didn't speak to me again.

I don't know what he's thinking, but I guess it has nothing to do with me.

We didn't take the main road, but rather the side roads.

There are relatively fewer monsters on the path. Whenever we encounter a monster, I basically don't need to lift a finger. Zhou Liang rushes up with his machete, as excited as a child. Moreover, he is extremely swift and decisive, killing one monster with a single strike. His attacks are very accurate.

Along the way, he killed many monsters.

Half an hour later, I asked curiously, "You seem quite skilled at killing these zombies. How come you were struggling with two zombies the last time I saw you? Judging from your current performance, that shouldn't be the case."

Zhou Liang said casually, "Last time is last time, it's different. When you saw me last time, did I have a knife? It was precisely because I didn't have a knife that I was helpless. Did you expect me to fight them hand-to-hand? And don't forget, I twisted my ankle back then, I couldn't walk at all, okay?"

I stared at him, chuckled, and didn't say anything more.

I have a feeling that this guy is hiding something from me, since he always reacts a bit strongly whenever I ask him questions.

But since he doesn't want to talk about it, let him keep it to himself; he'll tell us sooner or later.

We had nothing to say to each other.

After walking for another half hour, Zhou Liang led me to the vicinity of Jiajiang College.

We are at the back gate of Jiajiang College. There is a river on the edge of the school, and the only way to enter the back gate is to cross the bridge.

A police car was parked across the bridge, completely blocking the bridge surface. It must have been used by the police to block the monsters when the cataclysm occurred.

We hid in a restaurant that sold braised chicken rice.

Zhou Liang asked me, "There are so many zombies inside, are we really going to go in and die?"

I said, "You have so little confidence in yourself?"

Zhou Liang said, "No, I'm quite confident in myself, but even if you're confident, there are so many zombies inside! If we just go in like this, what if we end up in a dead end? We're doomed!"

I asked with great interest, "Aren't you a student here? Or are you unfamiliar with this school?"

Zhou Liang was taken aback, rolled his eyes, and said, "I am familiar with you, but look at the situation inside. There are so many zombies. Do you think there are any living people left inside?"

I said, "Even if she's dead, I will find her body."

Zhou Liang cursed, "I think you've gone mad."

I chuckled: "Pretty much."

Zhou Liang said, "If you really want to go in, then you must have a plan, right?"

I did have a somewhat immature plan in mind, but I decisively said, "No."

"..."

Zhou Liang snapped, "Are you just here to die?!"

I kept my expression unchanged and said, "Think what you want. I'm only here to find my sister. If you don't have the guts to come in with me, then you can stay here by yourself. I don't mind."

“You…” Zhou Liang was speechless. “I’m really fed up with you. Fine, fine, I’ll go in with you, okay? Honestly, if it weren’t for your promise to help me find my parents, I wouldn’t have bothered coming here with you.”

I pulled him along, "Then stop talking nonsense, lead the way, let's go in."

Zhou Liang blocked my way: "Wait, wait, wait. Let's make this clear before we go in. Once we're inside, we'll go check out the girls' dormitory first. After that, no matter what, you have to listen to me. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die."

"No problem," I readily agreed.

This was originally just a test, and seeing how seriously Zhou Liang took it, I became less wary of him.

"Come with me." Zhou Liang glanced around, strode forward, killed the monster blocking their path, and we arrived at the bridge.

The police car window was open, and I saw a monster dressed in a police uniform inside, baring its teeth and claws.

They stepped over the police car and entered the school grounds.

The monsters in the school seemed to sense our presence and turned around, with one of them even running directly towards us.

"Damn it, we've run into a zombie that can run!" Zhou Liang cursed, gripping his machete tightly as he prepared to fight it.

But the monster running ahead was too fast. Before he could prepare, the monster leaped up with a kick.

Seeing this scene gave me goosebumps.

Damn, this is the first time I've ever seen a monster that can jump!

Zhou Liang didn't expect the monster in front of him to jump up. In the instant he was stunned, the monster pounced on him. He couldn't withstand it and stumbled, falling to the ground.

I rushed forward and, just as the monster opened its mouth to bite him, I slashed at it with my sword.

The monster's head was separated from its body, its head rolled to one side, and its body, now headless, went limp and collapsed onto Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang stared at me blankly. I reached out and pulled him out from under the corpse.

Are you alright?

Zhou Liang shook his head, looking at the monster I had killed, "What the hell was this zombie? It could even jump?"

I don't know what's going on either; it's the first time I've ever seen a monster that can jump.

"I don't know, just be careful."

"Are we really going to go in?" Zhou Liang was a little hesitant.

"I told you, if you don't want to go in, you don't have to."

"Okay." Zhou Liang swallowed hard, but ultimately accompanied me into the school.

The first place we were going to was the girls' dormitory.
