I cautiously entered the living room and saw a clean bottle of water, half a pack of biscuits, a notebook, and a diary on the glass coffee table.

I opened a bottle of water and took a sip to moisten my already dry throat.

I stared at the diary, hesitating whether to pick it up. Clearly, this place was inhabited, and perhaps people still lived here!

Perhaps something was recorded in the diary.

I glanced around to make sure no one was in the room, picked up my diary, opened it to the first page, and was overjoyed when I saw what it contained.

“My name is Lu Jing. I don’t know why I’m writing this diary. I just feel that I should do something in this day and age. This is the first diary entry I’ve written since I found my safe house. I’m a widow. My husband and daughter have died in this disaster. I don’t want to die, so I’m going to try to live.”

Lu Jing! Lu Jing! It's actually Lu Jing! This is the safe house Lu Jing chose!

Back in school, each of us had a safe house, the location of which was known only to ourselves. If something happened at school, we could hide there. Since this place is very close to the school, it's quite reasonable for Lu Jing's safe house to be located here.

After the incident at the school, Lu Jing obviously hid here!

I flipped to the last entry in the diary, and the last entry was written just today.

"It's been eleven days, and I still haven't found them. Zhihao is missing, and I don't know if he's still alive. Yesterday, I went to the industrial park and found traces of Xiaonan, as well as Chen Se, Yunlan, and Yan Zhengfeng's graves. Those must be where Xiaonan was buried. As for the others, I haven't found them, and I don't know if they're still alive. I've decided to set off today to look for Xiaonan."

Today! Wait a minute.

So, does that mean Lu Jing has already left?!
