It was late at night.

I sat on the swing outside the yard, the sky was dotted with stars, and the roars outside the yard never stopped.

Li Qiming, wrapped in a blanket, sat down on the swing and asked, "How about we go out and look for something tomorrow?"

I turned to look at him, shrugging my neck, and asked, "Do you still remember the way?"

Li Qiming hesitated and said, "I do remember, but it will take some time to get there?"

I asked, "Me and you?"

Li Qiming pursed his lips and said, "If you don't want to, I won't force you. Ultimately, it was my fault in this matter, so I can go by myself."

I looked up at the starry sky and said, "Let's go together."

...

The next morning.

Li Qiming and I were fully prepared to go.

"Are you really going to go find my dad?" Zhong Linxuan asked in surprise.

After a sleepless night of reflection, he realized that his father was probably dead, which explained his current surprise.

I said, "Let's try our luck; it would be best if we could find it."

Zhong Linxuan hesitated and said, "But..."

Li Qiming patted the two siblings on the head and said, "There are no 'buts'. Take good care of the people here, understand?"

Zhong Linxuan nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of everyone here."

After giving the instructions, the two of us set off.

...

The rest of the journey went much more smoothly than I had imagined.

After driving around for more than two hours, we arrived at the place where Zhong Jianzhou was taken away yesterday, just before noon.

This is the back entrance of a supermarket.

We hid in an ice cream shop across from the back door of the supermarket and observed the situation outside.

The monsters basically took over the back entrance of the supermarket.

Li Qiming told me, "We made quite a commotion here yesterday, which probably attracted all the zombies from the surrounding area."

I frowned: "This is a bit troublesome, but we don't need to go in through this back door."

Li Qiming looked at me with surprise: "What are your plans?"

I shook my head: "I don't have any ideas. Since we can't go in through the back door, let's go around to the front door and take a look. After Zhang Jianzhou was arrested yesterday, those two soldiers definitely wouldn't have stayed here. They should have left some traces, right?"

Li Qiming gave a wry smile and said, "You can tell?"

To be honest, I couldn't tell.

Li Qiming said dejectedly, "Let's go, let's go to the front gate and take a look."

We spent another half hour going around to the front gate. Since there were few monsters at the front gate, we hid directly in a fast food restaurant.

After inspecting the fast food restaurant, Li Qiming said to confirm, "It's safe here. Let's rest here for a while."

I nodded, looked around and outside, but couldn't see anything.

Li Qiming sat on the stool and asked, "Hey, Dr. Lu, there's a question I've been wanting to ask you."

I turned to look at him, puzzled, and asked, "What's the problem?"

Li Qiming narrowed his eyes and asked, "You came out with me, I'm afraid it wasn't just to help me find Old Zhong, was it?"

I was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to have seen through me, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I have my own purpose."

Li Qiming sat down next to me and asked, "Would you mind telling me?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't mind. My purpose in coming out is very simple: I want to find the people I lost contact with."

"Those people in the air-raid shelter?" Li Qiming frowned. "But you don't even know if they're alive or dead."

My expression remained unchanged as I said, "Does it matter? We don't even know if Zhong Jianzhou is dead or alive, but we still came out to look for him. Like I said before, let's try our luck. Maybe I'll get lucky and run into him."

Li Qiming shook his head and chuckled, "Alright, whatever you say."

Clang!

Suddenly, a sound like a can hitting the floor came from the back door of the fast food restaurant.

The back door of the fast food restaurant connects to the first floor of the supermarket.

The supermarket's first floor mainly sells cosmetics, watches, and jewelry.

We crouched down and went to the back door. Looking through the glass of the back door, we immediately saw two figures.

"Someone's there!"

One was tall and the other short, but only the tall one was wearing camouflage and carrying a submachine gun, and his camouflage was very similar to Fei Lichao's.

This is completely different from the two soldiers I saw in the hospital.

"Is it them?" I asked.

Li Qiming shook his head. "No, the two people I saw yesterday weren't wearing clothes like that, and their faces were covered with cloth. They were completely different."

Li Qiming added, "Moreover, the two people yesterday had different body types from them."

I was surprised: "You remember all of this?"

Li Qiming said, "I took a second look."

I shook my head, not paying much attention, and asked with a puzzled look, "Since these two aren't the two you mentioned yesterday, they might be other survivors."

I wondered if I should go over and say hello to them?

Li Qiming asked me, "Do you think those two might also be looking for someone?"

I frowned. Could it be such a coincidence?

Just then, the guy in camouflage suddenly turned around and looked at the back door of the fast food restaurant.

Li Qiming and I quickly moved our heads back; we were almost scared to death by him.

Li Qiming stared wide-eyed and said, "They've spotted us!"

I frowned and said, "Let's wait and see, maybe they won't come!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the other person's voice coming from outside the back door.
