(This is the final chapter of episode six, marking the end of the episode's plot. As for Huo Cheng's situation, it will be explained in the next episode. The next episode is called Jiangbei Residential Area; I won't go into details, you can read it at your leisure. Also, just a heads-up, there will be two updates tomorrow and the day after. Those who have been following the updates should understand that after each episode, I need to revise and improve the outline for the next episode, so I hope you can understand. Don't worry, five updates will be posted immediately after tomorrow and the day after!)

Song Xiaoxiao looked at me and said with a smile, "This is Jiangbei Community, a very old community."

I don't know what Jiangbei Residential Area is, but I imagine it should be a very safe place.

Moreover, judging from Zhang Zhihao's situation, they are well-equipped with firearms and are very strong.

Could it be that the police station I visited last time was the one where they took away the guns?

It's not impossible.

Song Xiaoxiao said, "I heard you were Zhang Zhihao's old friends?"

I laughed and said, "Yes, we used to live together, but then something happened and we broke up. I never expected him to come and save me this time, otherwise I probably would be dead."

It should be that he has no genitals.

But it scared me so much, I was terrified.

While I was speaking, Song Xiaoxiao touched my forehead from behind.

I was a little surprised and asked, "What's this?"

Song Xiaoxiao said, "They asked me to check on you. I'm just a primary school teacher, not a doctor, so I don't know how to check you. I can only check if you have a fever."

"..." I was a little speechless, and said with a wry smile, "Alright, I'm a doctor, I know my own situation. If you have any rice, go and cook some porridge. We've been starving for three days, and we're really going to die if we don't eat something soon. Remember, cook the porridge a little thin and add some salt. Oh, and after you've cooked it, take it to Sister Jing too. I guess she definitely can't eat anything else right now."

Song Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with surprise as she said, "Okay, I'll go now."

"Thank you," I said.

Song Xiaoxiao smiled, said nothing more, and left the room.

I lay back down on the bed, my stomach was so empty I couldn't feel it anymore, but the thought of having hot porridge soon made me swallow hard.

Not long after Song Xiaoxiao left, Zhang Zhihao arrived.

"Brother Lu, I heard from Sister Song that you've woken up. How are you? Are you alright?" Zhang Zhihao asked.

I turned to look at Zhang Zhihao sitting on the edge of the bed and noticed that he had changed a lot. He didn't seem like a child anymore; he was more like an adult. But he was already in his early twenties, so growing up was inevitable.

What happened to Zhou Liang back then probably made him understand a lot.

"It's alright, don't worry."

I looked at Zhang Zhihao in front of me. He must have come in such a hurry to ask about his brother-in-law.

Sure enough, he asked, "Brother Lu, can you tell me how my brother-in-law is?"

I don't know how to say it. When we escaped, Li Qiming jumped off a building and committed suicide. His body was completely eaten by zombies. I was scared at the time and didn't care about his body. In the end, I didn't even put up a tombstone for him.

Because I want to wait until I kill Zhou Liang and avenge them before erecting a monument for him.

I said, "Zhang Zhihao, your brother-in-law is already dead."

I'm being very direct because Zhang Zhihao is definitely capable of handling this now.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Zhihao took a deep breath, but still couldn't hold back his tears.

He wiped away his tears, stood up from the stool, and turned to leave the room.

I don't have the energy to chase after him right now, so I'm too lazy to move. Let him cry for a while, and he'll definitely come in and ask me more questions later.

Five minutes later.

Zhang Zhihao came in with red eyes and asked me, "Brother Lu, how did my brother-in-law die? Was he killed by Zhou Liang?"

I stared at him and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Zhang Zhihao nodded vigorously, his eyes bloodshot.

I struggled to sit up in bed and said, "Fine, since you want to hear the truth, I'll tell you. Your brother-in-law was driven to his death by Zhou Liang! That night, I dragged your brother-in-law with me as we ran away. I went to my safe house, but when I woke up the next morning, I saw that your brother-in-law had jumped off the building and committed suicide..."

As I said this, I choked up. "He died right in front of me, I saw him fall from the building with my own eyes! I wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Zhang Zhihao, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhang Zhihao took a deep breath, tears welling up in his eyes. He nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Lu, I understand what you mean. I will definitely kill Zhou Liang!"

A few minutes later, Zhang Zhihao regained his composure.

I changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about that for now. There's something I'd like to ask you."

Zhang Zhihao asked, "What's the problem, Brother Lu?"

I said, "It's about how you saved me. I'm very curious, how did you know about our situation, and how did you know we would be locked up in the school?"

Zhang Zhihao said, "Oh, I have to thank Wang Hao for this. I think it was about four days ago, Brother Lu, that's when you treated Wang Hao, right?"

I nodded. "I remember Wang Hao. Yes, I'm the one who treated him. I even scared him at the time, telling him that his illness could kill him, but the test results showed it was just a common flu."
