Du Xu stayed here for two days, but did not linger, and left to return to Jiajiang City.

As for Zhong Jianzhou, after seeing his daughter, he no longer wanted to leave the research institute. However, since there were still many things waiting for him to do in Jiajiang City, he had a reason to go back. But when he would go back was up to him.

I estimate that he doesn't want to leave his daughter and return to Jiajiang City anytime soon, and I think he intends to take his daughter to Jiajiang City.

Later, I talked to him and felt it was necessary to explain the little girl's situation to him. After learning about his daughter's situation, he no longer considered taking the little girl away.

After all, the little girl is the safest here. Given her ability to not be afraid of zombies, if she were discovered by ordinary people, especially someone like Su Mu, she would definitely be in big trouble.

If someone like Zhang Jianzhou finds out, it will be even more troublesome.

The research institute behind them all wants people like Xiao Yatou and Lu Yun who aren't afraid of zombies, and they definitely want to capture them for research. So, it's best for Xiao Yatou and Lu Yun to show themselves as little as possible. If they are discovered, trouble will definitely follow.

After learning about this situation, Zhong Jianzhou understood what he should do.

He certainly wouldn't reveal this information in order to ensure his daughter's safety.

As for Zhang Jianzhou and Lin Zijie, who have been staying here these past few days, my approach to them is simple and brutal.

I ignored Lin Zijie and let him wander around the research institute, but Lu Yun kept a close eye on him to prevent him from making any moves. If he did anything, Lu Yun would know exactly what he was doing.

Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this guy has been wandering around the research institute, clearly looking for something, but he hasn't found it yet.

I was very curious about what he was looking for. I thought it must be something very important, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed here for so long.

So let him search slowly. Once he finds it, I'll know what he's looking for. Then, when he finds it, I'll intercept it and take it back from him to see what he's looking for.

As for that bastard Zhang Jianzhou, I locked him in a room and haven't let him out for the past few days, so he has no idea what's happening in this research institute.

Aside from delivering meals to him every day, he had no contact with anyone else.

A few days later...

Zhong Jianzhou has been here for about a week.

Lin Zijie was similar, but he went back once in the middle and came back a couple of days later, obviously wanting to continue searching for what he was looking for.

Around nine o'clock that morning.

I found Zhong Jianzhou and asked, "When do you plan to go back to Jiajiang City?"

Zhong Jianzhou thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow."

I nodded and said, "Okay, after I go back to Jiajiang City tomorrow, can you take me to the place where you got the medicine?"

Zhong Jianzhou smiled and said, "No problem, but I hope you won't do anything outrageous. After all, I still need that thing to live, and I don't want to die so soon."

I said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless, and I reckon there shouldn't be many people at the place where you got your medicine right now."

Zhong Jianzhou shook his head. "Who knows?"

We're standing outside the research institute now, and the little girl is smiling at us from the doorway.

I glanced at her and said, "After things are settled in Jiajiang City, do you have any plans to come over?"

Zhong Jianzhou looked at his daughter with a smile on his face, but his tone was not joyful.

"I don't know. I don't have any plans right now. I'm just going to take it one day at a time, as long as this girl is doing well. You know, given my current situation, if I really come here, that research institute will definitely notice. Their mission for me was to find those people in Jiajiang City. If I leave without permission, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

I nodded. "Indeed, that's a problem. They might just stop your medication. The worst thing is if they find out about this place and learn the truth about your daughter; the consequences would be unimaginable."

Zhong Jianzhou faced me and said with a serious expression, "So, I can't come over right now. I'll be heading back to Jiajiang tomorrow. After that, I'll take you to the place where you can get your medicine. I'll come over about once a month from now on."

I nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Coming over once a month is fine. Nothing bad is going to happen here, so don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

"Please."

"Um."

After chatting for a while, Zhong Jianzhou decided to say goodbye to his daughter.

Seeing the little girl hugging Zhong Jianzhou at the door, I felt a pang of sadness.

The father and daughter had only been together for a week before having to part again, which was a bit hard to bear.

But there's nothing we can do about it; everyone's caught up in the situation now.

There is also a research institute behind Zhong Jianzhou, which is a big problem. If this problem is not solved, it will be virtually impossible for the father and daughter to be reunited forever.

...

The next morning, Zhong Jianzhou and I set off back to Jiajiang City.

Su Mu must be worried since he hasn't been back for over a week.

Sure enough, after we spent the whole morning getting to Jiangbei Community in Jiajiang City, Su Mu got impatient with us.

"Lu Xiaonan! What do you mean! You've taken my people away for so long! Is that appropriate?! I desperately need people right now, and you're blatantly snatching them away like this! And it would be one thing if you stayed for a day or two, but you've been gone for over a week! Is that appropriate?!"

I looked at Su Mu and said, "What's your rush? Didn't we bring the person back to you?"

Su Mu rolled his eyes at me and said, "Is that appropriate?"

Zhong Jianzhou and I exchanged a glance.

Su Mu immediately asked, "And another thing! Zhong Jianzhou, I'm asking you, do you plan to go out again in the future?"

Zhong Jianzhou nodded.

Su Mu asked, "How long?"

Zhong Jianzhou said, "Once a month is fine, two days each time."

Hearing this, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, no problem, that's more like it. But don't do it again like this time. Also, you don't need to go to Biyuan anymore. I've already had someone else take care of it. You can stay in Jiangbei. Anyway, there's nothing much to do these days."

I said, "We might go out again later, but we should be back before tonight."

Su Mu said, "You guys are really busy. What are you going out to do this time?"
