The Southeast Residential Area remains the same.

The place was teeming with zombies, making it extremely difficult for any living person to get in.

We got out of the car, and I used my binoculars to survey the situation in the southeast residential area. I said to Lu Yun beside me, "We can't get in, so we can only rely on you..."

Before I could finish speaking, Lu Yun had already run over.

Watching her retreating figure, I felt a little helpless and could only shut my mouth and wait here patiently.

As for Du Xu, he was surprised again, just like last time, "She, she went in!"

Lu Yun had already run into the horde of zombies surrounding the Southeast Residential Area. Du Xu was shocked to see this.

I said, "Didn't you already see this scene last time? Why are you making such a fuss like this?"

Du Xu looked at me. "No, I mean, is she that kind of person too?"

I didn't deny it, and said, "Yes, she's the kind of person who isn't afraid of zombies either. Okay, don't make a fuss about it. Just wait, she probably won't be out for a while."

Du Xu smiled wryly, staring at Lu Yun who had run into the horde of zombies. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

I climbed onto the car and stood directly on the roof, staring at Lu Yun as she ran into the horde of zombies. As she moved, I saw her constantly checking the zombies passing by, seemingly trying to find someone familiar among them.

However, after searching around outside without finding her, she went into the Southeast Residential Area, and then I lost sight of her.

I got out of the car and waited patiently for Lu Yun to come out. However, there were many zombies in the Southeast District, and it wouldn't be easy to search them all.

It will probably take some time.

While we wait.

Du Xu asked me a question.

There's a question I'd like to ask you.

"What's the problem?"

“You told me before that after things were over yesterday, Su Mu asked you to join Jiangbei, right?”

"Um."

"What I don't understand is, why don't you join Jiangbei? With your abilities, you could definitely get a good position in Jiangbei, and you also have the ability to negotiate with Su Mu. There's no such thing as freedom or constraints. Joining Jiangbei is the best choice for you right now, so why won't you agree?"

I have no answer to this question.

All I could say was, "I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm not a good fit. As for why I don't join Jiangbei, I can't give you a proper answer. There are many factors involved."

"There are factors related to Zhang Zhihao, Su Mu's own personality, and the historical factors of Jiangbei, etc. To sum it up, maybe it's because I don't like it, I don't like the environment there. Even if I really join and negotiate with Su Mu, I don't think Su Mu would trust me."

“Su Mu is too suspicious; I don’t dare stay by his side.”

Du Xu nodded. "I see. But is Su Mu really that kind of person?"

I shook my head. "Maybe, who knows? I'm not very good at judging people."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Du Xu frowned. "It seems that if I want to live a peaceful life in Jiajiang in the future, it won't be an easy thing. What should I do if Su Mu creates some problems for me and tries to get me to join Jiangbei?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know about that. That's your problem then. I'm all alone now, with no one backing me up. My words don't really carry any weight, so don't expect me to be of any help to you."

Du Xu said, "But at least Su Mu values ​​you."

I raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Who knows about things like that?"

The conversation did not continue.

Because once we openly discuss these kinds of conspiracies, we always see many things we don't want to see.

I don't know what kind of person Su Mu is, and I don't want to know. I also don't want to have any contact with him in the future.

We waited outside for almost half an hour.

Lu Yun emerged from the southeast residential area.

Her face was expressionless.

I asked, "So, did you find it?"

She shook her head and said, "I couldn't find it."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. In that case, let's head south and see if we can find any trace of it."

“Okay.” Lu Yun agreed.

We got back on the bus and started heading south.

It's still early, so we're not driving fast; we mainly want to look carefully.

If we don't see any trace of Sister Jing and the others in the Southeast Residential Area, it means they must have escaped. Chu Yu said that the most likely scenario is that they ran south, but the south is so big with so many houses, how are we supposed to find them?

Du Xu had also thought of this problem, so he asked, "The south is so big, we can't just search house by house, can we? Is there any better way to search over a wider area?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know what to do. Jingjie and the others must have lost their walkie-talkies, otherwise we could try to contact them. If we honk the horn, it will probably attract all the zombies around, and then we won't be able to find them."

The discussion yielded no results.

We could only continue driving south. We basically searched around with our eyes. Lu Yun even climbed out of the car window and used binoculars to look around.

...

More than two hours later, we circled the area south of the Southeast Community three times, and even went through several more times, but we still couldn't find any trace of it.

During the search, we shouted at the top of our lungs and honked the car horn. Lu Yun also went to many places by herself.

As a result, they didn't see a single living person.

I said, "We've searched this area three times already. There shouldn't be anyone here. Let's continue south."

Du Xu said, "If we continue south, we'll be leaving the Jiajiang area."

"Let them go. If Fei Lichao and the others really do flee, they will definitely go to a place with fewer zombies and is safer. The suburbs are the best choice."

Lu Yun did not object.

Du Xu also thought it made sense.

So we continued south.

Continuing south didn't leave the area of ​​Jiajiang City; it just led to the suburbs.

After driving for ten minutes to get here, the number of tall buildings around decreased, and there were more residential areas, which consisted mainly of single-story houses.

Looking around at the surroundings, Du Xu said with a hint of helplessness, "This suburb is so big, it'll probably be a lot of trouble to find."

Lu Yun continued to search for clues outside the skylight with her binoculars.

I looked around and said, "There's no other way, let's keep searching. It's only noon now. If we still don't have any results by tonight, then we'll..."

"Look, there's a child over there!" Lu Yun suddenly exclaimed.
