Chapter 733 Someone Arrives

The following week was uneventful; nothing happened. Following Pu Weichao's instructions, we didn't leave the science museum. Although living inside the museum was boring, it was also very safe for us. As long as we stayed there, no one would likely discover our presence.

We've already erased all traces of our presence outside the science museum, so even if someone else comes by, they won't notice us.

Yu Jin now returns every three days, always at night. He's not afraid of zombies; as long as he doesn't encounter any living people, he has no problem living outside. Each time he returns, he reports on the progress of his zombie collection. He has now collected another 150 zombies. He's still some distance from Pu Weichao's target of 500.

Moreover, the last time he came back, he told us that the zombies in the vicinity were gone, and there were only some scattered zombies, which were very difficult to collect. So he wanted to go to a more distant place to see if he could find more zombies and bring them back.

I have no objection to this. As long as we can collect five hundred zombies and ensure his own safety, there is no problem.

My concern right now is for Pu Weichao. According to the plan he told me before, he'll be handling everything alone from now on, and I'm afraid something might happen to him. I really want to help him, but he's given us strict orders not to contact him during this period, so I haven't impulsively decided to practice.

A week has passed, and there's only one week left. Once this week is over, I think I'll hear from him.

It's noon now, and Yu Sheng and I are sitting at the table eating together, talking about the past. He's talking about his girlfriend, but she disappeared after the zombie outbreak. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it's obvious she's dead.

When the zombie outbreak occurred, many things happened, and many people died. Surviving was a lucky thing, but also the most unfortunate. After all, we could only watch the people around us die one by one, and we couldn't do anything about it. This was the most painful thing, and no one wanted to face such a thing.

However, those who survived still have to live on; complaining is useless.

Just as we were talking, Yu Sheng's people suddenly ran over and said, "Two strangers have come to the outside of the science museum."

We were stunned when we heard that, and asked, "Where?"

"Come with me."

We followed him to the window on the second floor and saw what was happening outside. The windows in the science museum are reflective, so you can't see inside from the outside, but you can see outside from the inside.

We clearly saw two strangers carrying bags appear at the entrance of the science museum, and they seemed to want to come in.

I asked, "Is anyone still upstairs?"

The person next to him shook his head and said, "There's no one here. We've brought all our things upstairs. As long as they don't go upstairs, they basically won't find us."

“They’re coming in,” Yu Sheng said.

I saw the two guys enter the science museum, and I quickly said, "Get everyone ready. If those two dare to come up, take them down immediately."

"good."

Taking them under control is easy, as long as they are unarmed.

We held our breath and waited on the second floor, positioned at the bottom of the stairs, for the two people below to come up.

Because the entire science museum was very quiet, and the open design of the first and second floors made it easy for us to hear what the two people downstairs were saying.

"Why don't we make do here tonight? We've been searching for a week and haven't found them. I reckon the military must have left Hangzhou."

The moment I heard this, I exchanged a glance with Liu Jiang, and we realized who the two people below were.

They must be from a large community, sent out to find the military. We never expected them to find their way into the science museum. This was something we didn't anticipate.

Yu Sheng looked at me at this moment, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: he wanted to go down and subdue the two people below.

I shook my head to stop him.

To be honest, I don't want us to get involved with those two down there. They haven't come up yet, so let's just let them wander around down there, or better yet, just leave. That way, nothing will happen. If they insist on coming up, then we'll have to take action.

At this moment, another person spoke up.

"Forget it, this place looks so gloomy, who knows where a zombie might jump out. Let's go. I don't think the army would choose this place as their base. There's nothing here, and the gate is so open. It would be a miracle if anyone could live here."

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they left, that was fine. As long as they left, we could pretend nothing had happened.

"But the upstairs hasn't been checked yet, should we go and check it?"

"Forget it, what's the point of checking? Let's hurry up and go. We've been looking for a week already. Let's keep looking until we're done so we can go back home."

When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, a little surprised that the other person would leave so directly.

"Are you really not going to look for it?"

"I'm not looking anymore. Let's go. I'll leave by myself."

I didn't read any further, and immediately understood why the other person was in such a hurry to leave—because he had already discovered us! Logically, he should have looked around no matter what, but that person insisted on leaving, which clearly meant he had discovered our presence.

I hurriedly gave the order to Sheng.

Yu Sheng nodded and led his men down the slope.

"Don't move!" Then, I stood on the second floor and saw that the two guys had been directly subdued by Yu Sheng and his men.

One of them was taken aback, his face full of surprise, while the other looked helpless, as if he had expected this to happen.

I went upstairs, walked past the bewildered-looking guy, and stood in front of another one, asking, "Did you already spot us? Is that why you were in such a hurry to leave?"

The other party said helplessly, "Anyway, I've already been captured by you. Do whatever you want with me."

I chuckled. "You think I'd let you die so easily? I finally managed to capture people from two large communities. I'd have to extract some information from you before I let you go, otherwise what's the point of capturing you?"

"Don't worry, no matter how you torture me, I won't tell."

I smiled slightly: "Really?"
