Chu Yu's appearance calmed me down, and I said, "A new team has emerged in the wholesale market to the east, and it's very powerful."

Chu Yu said, "Tell me in detail. I've been sleeping these past two days, sleeping so soundly, that I have no idea what's going on. Tell me quickly."

"Okay, then let me tell you what happened in the last two days."

So I told her about the sudden collapse of the Southeast Community the night before last, and also about how Lu Yun and I went to the wholesale market last night to look for Sister Jing and Fei Lichao.

After listening, Chu Yu nodded slightly, his eyes thoughtful, and did not rush to speak.

I wasn't in a hurry and waited for her to analyze the situation.

After a long while, Chu Yu said, "Let's talk about Fei Lichao and Lu Jing, the two missing people."

"Hmm." I nodded. This was exactly the analysis I wanted to hear. After the Southeast District fell, Fei Lichao and Sister Jing weren't caught by the team in the wholesale market, but they disappeared without a trace, which I couldn't accept.

So now I'm really eager to know where those two went, and I hope Chu Yu's analysis will be helpful.

Chu Yu looked at me and said, "First of all, don't expect me to tell you where they are. Even if I'm smart, I can't possibly know where they are. You need to understand that."

I gave a wry smile and said, "I know."

Chu Yu said, "Based on what you told me, and my understanding of these two people, there's a 10% chance that they're both dead and have turned into zombies, wandering around Jiajiang City. But that's only a 10% chance, no more. As for whether the outside team at the wholesale market caught them, based on what you've said, it's obvious they didn't. If Fei Lichao and the other guy had been caught by that team, you would have found out when you went in."

“But you didn’t see anything after you went in, which means they didn’t arrest Fei Lichao and Lu Jing,” Chu Yu analyzed. “As for Jiangbei, I estimate they didn’t go there. The second possibility is that there are more than just the two of them who survived in the Southeast Community. There are quite a few other people who survived with them, so in order to take care of the others and not want to expose their whereabouts, they went into hiding and did not want to contact anyone outside for the time being.”

"This possibility accounts for 60%."

Sixty percent is a very high probability.

Chu Yu looked at me and said, "As for the remaining 30% possibility, it's that the two of them have already left Jiajiang."

"Leave Jiajiang?!" I asked blankly, not understanding what he meant.

Chu Yu said, "This is just my guess. Nobody knows for sure whether they left Jiajiang or not, but it's very possible. Maybe after the Southeast District fell, they encountered some trouble and didn't have time to contact you, so they had to leave Jiajiang."

"Think about it carefully. If they are still in Jiajiang City, why haven't they contacted you after two days? Isn't that a bit strange?"

I nodded blankly. It was indeed a bit abnormal. If they were really still alive and still in Jiajiang, they would definitely come to the school to find me, but they didn't.

Chu Yu's words make a lot of sense. What if they really do leave Jiajiang?

Du Xu asked from the side, "But even if they're in trouble, why do they have to leave Jiajiang? Why don't they just come here to find us?"

Chu Yu still looked at Du Xu as if he were an idiot, and said, "What if they get chased by that team from the wholesale market while they're running away? If they come to the school, wouldn't that bring trouble here too? Don't forget what Brother Lu just said, the team from the wholesale market is very powerful! If Fei Lichao and the others really panic and run away recklessly, they definitely won't come back to the school. After all, once they come back, the school will face endless trouble."

"As for why they left Jiajiang, that's just my guess. Who knows if they really left?"

Chu Yu continued, "Actually, if conditions permit, we can still go and look for them. Maybe those two people never left Jiajiang at all."

I asked, "Should we look around the southeast neighborhood?"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, we should look around the southeast neighborhood, or we can look further south."

"Why south?" Du Xu asked.

Chu Yu said, "Are you stupid? There's a wholesale market to the east, Jiangbei to the north, and a school to the west. Where else can they go besides the south?"

I said, "Or we could go to Honghu in the city center?"

Chu Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Please, the closer you get to the city center, the more zombies there are. Going to the city center is just asking for death! It's better to go to the suburbs, where there are fewer zombies and fewer people, and it's safer."

I scratched my head, and it really made sense, but I hadn't thought of it in my haste.

...

Around nine o'clock in the morning.

Su Mu arrived, and Wang Hao came with him.

Seeing Wang Hao suddenly reminded me that his sister, Song Xiaoxiao, lived in the Southeast Residential Area! However, I hadn't paid much attention to her before, and I didn't know if anything had happened to her.

As soon as Wang Hao arrived, he promptly grabbed me and asked, "Lu Xiaonan, where's my sister! Haven't you seen my sister?!"

I said, "Wang Hao, don't worry."

Wang Hao stared wide-eyed and said, "How can I not be worried! Tell me quickly, how is my sister now? Has anything happened to her!"

I said, "Wang Hao, don't panic, calm down and listen to me!"

Wang Hao was about to get angry, but Su Mu stopped him, saying, "Wang Hao, calm down. Listen to what Dr. Lu has to say first."

Wang Hao released my shoulder, looked at me, and his face was very anxious.

Immediately, I told him everything that had happened in the Southeast Residential Area. As for whether Song Xiaoxiao was alright, I didn't know. So I could only say that I didn't see Song Xiaoxiao's body in the Southeast Residential Area, and she was very likely still alive.

Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Still alive! It's good that you're still alive!"

Su Mu looked at Wang Hao beside him and said to me, "Is it convenient for us to go to the conference room to talk?"

"Can."

Su Mu and I entered the conference room, and Chu Yu and Du Xu followed us in.

Su Mu had no objection to their coming in. After closing the conference room door, he said directly, "Dr. Lu, yesterday you told me that a new team had appeared at the wholesale market? And a very powerful one at that?"

I nodded: "Yes."

Su Mu smiled and said, "In that case, I think I have a way to deal with Biyuan, and it's a very simple way."
