(Second update. Sigh, please subscribe and support the official version on Qiqi's website, considering how hard Qiqi works!)

After explaining his business, Du Xu left the hotel and returned to his villa community.

As for the ten people he left behind, I didn't remember their names after they gave their names.

Mainly because I'm too lazy to remember.

I stood in front of the ten of them and said, "From now on, you're all coming back to Jiajiang with me. I don't care how you lived with Du Xu, but here, you must obey me, or get out. Understand?"

My words were quite blunt, which naturally drew disdain from those young men and women.

I ignored them, got in the car, and drove off.

I spent two days in Wutong City, only to find out that Zhou Liang and Pu Weichao had disappeared, which left me very dissatisfied.

However, one thing is quite useful: Sun Shichao said that Zhou Qingya and the little girl escaped on the night they were captured, which means that the two of them must still be in Jiajiang City, and maybe they are living with some other survivors now.

Jiajiang is so big, they must be living somewhere.

There's no way to resolve Zhou Liang's situation for now, so we can only look for Xiao Yatou and Zhou Qingya first.

The journey back was peaceful; nothing unexpected happened.

There were three cars. To ensure that this person wouldn't cause trouble, I, Fei Lichao, and Sun Zichen were driving them respectively.

I led the way in my sedan, which was comfortable, so I gave a ride to the elderly couple and the disabled person.

"Young man, what did you say your name just now? I didn't hear you clearly," the old man sitting in the back seat asked.

"Lu Xiaonan".

The old man's name is Fu Jianjun, and the old woman's name is Wang Cuihua. As for the disabled man in the passenger seat who has lost his legs, his name is Liu Guang. According to him, he lost his legs in a car accident five years ago.

His main job was as a primary school teacher. After a year of recuperation following his amputation, he returned to the podium and continued to teach his students.

However, he was lucky because he happened to be visiting relatives when the zombie outbreak occurred, which saved his life and allowed him to survive until now.

Liu Guang said, "Lu Xiaonan, Du Xu told me everything about your cooperation with him. Now Du Xu has some things to take care of, so he entrusted us to you. Don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble. I'll keep those kids in check."

I glanced at him. I actually had a good impression of Liu Guang, this disabled man. As a teacher, he spoke with great tact.

I said, "I'll say it again, as long as you don't cause me any trouble, it's fine."

Liu Guang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

I didn't ask about Du Xu's matter because it had nothing to do with me, and I didn't want to cause any trouble.

Before we knew it, twenty minutes had passed.

Feeling bored, Liu Guang asked, "Excuse me, may I ask where you live?"

"A school..."

I was only halfway through my sentence when the needle on the car's dashboard suddenly started dropping. What was going on? I pressed the accelerator, and at that moment, the engine suddenly made a loud, strange noise!

I sensed something was wrong and immediately slammed on the brakes.

Liu Guang, in the passenger seat, found it strange and asked, "Why did you stop?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, it feels like there's something wrong with the engine."

I heard the car stop, and the two cars behind me naturally stopped as well. I looked outside and saw that there were very few zombies on either side, but there were a few zombies wandering around the abandoned vehicle in front.

"I'll get out of the car to take a look; you guys stay here."

Liu Guang nodded, and the two elderly people in the back seat did not object.

After I got out of the car, I took the knife and waved to Sun Zichen in the van behind me.

Sun Zichen got out of the car and ran up to him, asking, "What's wrong? You need my help even though there are only a few zombies ahead?"

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "It seems like there's something wrong with the car. Come and see what's going on."

"Yeah?"

Sun Zichen asked, "What went wrong?"

"I don't know. Just now, the engine speed dropped suddenly, and the engine made some strange noises. I can't quite put my finger on it."

I don't know much about cars, so I can't make a judgment. I only remember that Sun Zichen once said that he worked in a machinery factory, so he should know a little about these things, right?

Sun Zichen didn't rush to open the hood. After getting into the driver's seat and starting the car, the engine made an unusual noise.

Upon hearing the sound, Sun Zichen immediately turned off the engine and came out, saying, "The cylinder is seizing; it must be because the engine oil is gone."

"Cylinder seizure? No engine oil?" This left me completely bewildered. "And then what?"

Sun Zichen laughed and said, "What else can I do? I can't exactly conjure up engine oil for you, can I? This car is totaled."

The car is totaled, so the only option is to abandon it.

Accidents are inevitable on the road.

Fortunately, only the sedan broke down; the van and pickup truck behind it could squeeze in quite a few people, so four more wouldn't be a problem.

At that moment, several high school students who were inside the van ran out of the vehicle.

While we weren't paying attention, they started wandering around.

I was still helping Liu Guang get out of the car at that moment and didn't notice what they were doing.

"ah!"

I didn't look up until a girl screamed.

Just then, I happened to see the two boys and two girls surrounded by two zombies. In order to escape, the boys actually pushed the girl next to them into the zombies.

The girl screamed, terrified. She fell at the zombie's feet, trying to escape, but the zombie didn't give her a chance. It crouched down, opened its mouth, and hissed as if trying to bite her.
