(The fourth update is here. Just letting everyone know that starting tomorrow, there will be three updates a day. I mainly need to work on the outline, and I don't know when I'll be able to finish it. Once I'm done, I'll resume four updates a day. By the way, please give me some recommendation votes, thank you everyone.)

An hour later.

After the matter was over, Fan Bin lay peacefully in a dormitory room, with Cui Xiaofei and Su Yao watching him from inside.

Zhang Zhihao's men were cleaning up the conference room, and they quickly finished. Apart from a lingering smell of blood, the bloodstains on the floor and table had been wiped clean.

I'm a bit annoyed by Fan Bin's situation.

This guy has only been here a few days and he's already caused this mess!

I wonder what Du Xu's reaction will be when he sees his condition.

I changed my clothes and went up to the rooftop. Zhang Zhihao followed me up.

"Can you tell me what happened? Why did you let him come out with you?" I asked.

Given Fan Bin's courage, he shouldn't dare to come out. Seven days ago, when he first arrived, he was so afraid of zombies, but now, only seven days later, he dares to come out.

Zhang Zhihao said, "Brother Lu, it was indeed my fault in this matter, and I apologize to you..."

I turned to look at him and said, "Don't apologize yet. Tell me what happened. What are you doing out here today? And why did you bring that kid with you?"

Zhang Zhihao gave a wry smile and said, "We originally came out to find supplies, it was safe, but we didn't expect to run into another group of people in the supermarket. Then we got into an argument and a conflict arose. They even tried to kill us. I saw that things were not going well, so I struck first, and that's how things turned out."

"So this was just an accident?"

"Yes, it was a complete accident."

Looking at Zhang Zhihao's expression, which remained unchanged, I couldn't believe it.

But since he's already said that, I can't deny it.

Regardless of what exactly happened during the explosion, it's pretty much over now, and all the other side's people are dead, so there's no need to delve into it any further.

I just feel that the explosion site is so close to the school, and if someone with ulterior motives pays special attention to this place, the school might get into unnecessary trouble.

I glanced at Zhang Zhihao and felt that the kid had completely changed.

You can tell from how he used to reprimand his subordinates that his men were all afraid of him and no one dared to disobey his orders.

I don't know what he went through to become such a decisive person.

Zhang Zhihao said, "Brother Lu, let Fan Bin stay here with you tonight. That way, it'll be easier to take care of him. If he needs anything, just let me know, and I can have someone bring it over tomorrow."

I said, "Could you help me find some medical supplies?"

Zhang Zhihao nodded: "No problem, I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow."

...

While Zhang Zhihao and I were chatting idly on the rooftop, Sister Jing was making tea for them in the conference room below.

The people sitting in the conference room were all unfamiliar faces. Sister Jing and Cui Xiaofei had previously given them water to wash their faces, and then they sat in the conference room drinking tea and waiting for Zhang Zhihao.

Fei Lichao chatted with them casually. Since they were all men, there was nothing to be shy about.

After chatting for a while, Fei Lichao became more familiar with the people in front of him and was no longer as unfamiliar as before.

However, when Fei Lichao tried to ask them about the explosion, they all remained silent, seemingly unwilling to discuss it.

Fei Lichao and Sister Jing had some guesses about this.

"Old Fei, please don't make things difficult for us. The captain told us not to talk about this," said a man named Liu Jinshuang.

“Yeah, Lao Fei, let’s talk about something else.” A man named Xu Haishui chuckled, changing the subject, and then took out a notebook from his pocket. He smiled and said, “Let’s talk about this. I found this notebook outside a few days ago. It contains some diary entries. I read it when I have nothing to do. Why don’t I read it to you? It’s quite interesting.”

"Okay, you read it." Fei Lichao didn't make things difficult for them and let Xu Haishui read the diary he had found.

"Ahem." Xu Hai cleared his throat and laughed, "Don't mind our unpleasant voices, we're all grown men."

"What are you dawdling for? Read it quickly!" someone urged.

"Right away, right away." Xu Haishui's smile faded, and he became serious. He opened his diary and began to read the passage above. "Today is the third day of the zombie outbreak. I followed the army to the safe zone. There are many people in the safe zone, but I don't know a single one of them. I really want to go back to Hangzhou to find my parents and sister. But I know I can't leave. I can't survive outside alone. I can only stay here for now and wait for a chance to leave. I heard from the people in the safe zone that in a few days, they will send a plane to take us to a safer place, but there is a queue to board the plane, and I don't know if I will be able to get a turn."

After reading it, Xu Haishui said, "This is the first one. There are many more to come. Do you want to hear them?"

Many people expressed no interest, since the contents of the diary, once read aloud by Xu Haishui, didn't resonate with them.

However, Fei Lichao and Sister Jing were very curious.

Jingjie said, "Can I borrow it to take a look?"

“Sure, take it. I’ve already read all the entries in the diary.” Xu Hai handed the diary to Sister Jing and said, “The handwriting here is quite beautiful. It’s obviously written by a young girl.”

Jingjie flipped through the diary and found the handwriting familiar. She asked, "Does it say whose diary this is?"

Xu Hai frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I think so. I remember it was mentioned in one of the later chapters, but I forgot what it was. I think the surname was Lu, the same as yours, little sister."

"Surname Lu?" Sister Jing asked in surprise. She flipped through the last few pages of the not-so-thick diary and looked for the name. In no time, she found the name in the fifth-to-last entry.

She stared at the diary, covering her mouth in disbelief.

The diary reads: "Unconsciously, I've been writing for so long, and this little notebook is almost finished. I don't know if I can live on. I just want to find my sister and my parents, but I don't know if they are still alive, and I don't know if I will live to find them. I thought about it and decided to introduce myself here. My name is Lu Yun, and I'm from Hangzhou. My sister's name is Lu Jing, and she's married. Her husband's name is Zhou Zhengnan. I also have a lovely niece who is five years old this year! My parents' names are Lu Chenggong, a very rustic name. My mother's name is Cai Yu. If I die one day, and if anyone finds this diary, if anyone has the patience to read this far, I beg you, please help me find my sister's family and my parents. Please."

After reading this diary entry, Sister Jing's eyes were filled with tears!
