"No rush, let's wait until they're a bit further away. Besides, there's no one else here, just us," I said.

Once the horde of corpses had all left, we saw Yan Zhengfeng and Pu Weichao return.

The two were unharmed, but Zhong Linxuan was not seen with them.

Could it be that they couldn't find it?

We went downstairs, opened the door of the fast food restaurant, and let the two of them in. At the same time, Chen drove the pickup truck to the entrance of the fast food restaurant, which would effectively block the scattered monsters outside.

"So, did you find it?" Li Qiming asked.

Pu Weichao shook his head: "We didn't find him. We don't know where he ran off to. We were going to keep looking for him, but things weren't right over there, so we came back first."

"What should we do then? Should we look for it again?" Lu Jing asked.

Pu Weichao glanced at Zhong Linyun, who was holding his hand. The girl's tear stains hadn't even dried yet. If he didn't go looking for her, she probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

Pu Weichao said, "We definitely have to look for it, but it's too much trouble for just the two of us to search, the area is so big."

Fei Lichao chimed in, "Then let's split into groups. Lao Yan and I will go out alone, while Pu Weichao and Chen Shen will go together. We'll split into three groups and go out to search together."

“I’ll go too,” Li Qiming said.

“I’ll go too,” I said. “I’ll be in a group with Li Qiming.”

"Are you two okay?" Fei Lichao asked, frowning.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine," Pu Weichao said.

Fei Lichao nodded, took out a pistol from behind his back and handed it to me, saying, "Take this gun. There are only nine bullets in it. Use it when you need to, don't try to save any for me, understand?"

"I know." I didn't refuse, and then I put the pistol away and pulled a machete out of my backpack.

Fei Lichao said, "We're setting off now. Whether we find it or not, we must be back here by 4 PM today. Nobody is allowed to die! Do you hear me!"
