(Second update, please recommend and favorite!)

Li Qiming's condition is not good. Although he had woken up before, the pain from his severed arm was unbearable. He fainted again on the way back and has not woken up yet.

Excessive blood loss combined with intense pain is unbearable even for someone with the strongest tolerance.

Fei Lichao called for people to carry him to the office on the second floor, found a clean table for him to lie on, and had Zhang Zhihao take his son Li Dong outside to avoid frightening the child.

Actually, apart from me, Fei Lichao, and Pu Weichao, everyone else was kicked out by us.

I first gave Li Qiming an injection of anti-inflammatory medication, then treated the severed arm wound before re-bandaging it. He didn't wake up during this time, but his breathing and heartbeat were relatively stable, so it seems that his willpower is still quite good.

He's not awake yet, so he can't feel the pain in his arm and doesn't need to take any painkillers for now.

When he wakes up, he'll probably find it hard to bear, so we can give him painkillers then.

After doing all that, Fei Lichao asked, "You're done already?"

I glanced at him and asked, "What else do you want?"

Fei Lichao was taken aback and couldn't refute me for a moment, so he changed the subject and asked, "Never mind, I'm asking you, what happened to make you look like this?"

I don't know where to begin; just thinking about it annoys me.

Ning Longhai, that fat bastard, is dead, but I'm still very unhappy about it.

Knock knock knock.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Pu Weichao went to open the door and saw Zhou Qingya and Yun Lan standing outside. His eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed, "My God, you are...!"

Pu Weichao was halfway through his sentence when he seemed to forget the names of the two women in front of him. Moreover, he hadn't paid any attention to them when he brought Li Qiming up earlier. Now that he saw them, his eyes were full of surprise and delight.

"Is he... a celebrity?" He finally managed to utter those words.

Yunlan and Zhou Qingya both smiled in response.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" I asked. I had kept them outside earlier to prevent them from disturbing me.

When Yunlan and Zhou Qingya saw me, their expressions changed drastically.

Yunlan held up the down jacket in her hand and said, "These are the clothes you left in the car."

Pu Weichao looked at the clothes in her hand, took them and examined them, then said to us, "This, isn't this Zhong Linxuan's clothes?"

"Mm." I nodded.

"You found him? Where is he?" Fei Lichao asked.

"We found him, but he's already dead," I said with a sigh. I glanced around the office and saw that there were only the three of us. So I told Li Qiming and me what we had seen. The incident was too shocking. If I hadn't reacted quickly and cut off Li Qiming's hand, he probably wouldn't have come back.

Upon hearing this, Fei Lichao was furious and punched the wall.

The white wall instantly dented in.

Fortunately, Pu Weichao had already closed the door, and no one saw Fei Lichao's actions.

"Damn it, that fat bastard is dead?"

"Yes, he's already dead."

"What a beast! You saved him, and he still tries to harm you," Pu Weichao said, then suddenly realized, "Wait, you said that fat guy was with those three celebrities? Then why did you bring them back?"

I said, "This matter has nothing to do with the three of them, and they were the ones who helped me bring Li Qiming back on the way back. Of course, if you are not at ease, you can let them go."

"Um." Pu Weichao hesitated, looked at Fei Lichao, and asked, "What do you think? Should we let them stay?"

Fei Lichao, still seemingly consumed by anger, said, "I fucking don't know. We'll see."

Pu Weichao glanced at me helplessly and said, "Let's talk about it later. Anyway, with Li Qiming in this state, we can't travel any further. Let's just stay here for a couple of days and set off again when he's feeling better. We've already cleared out the zombies on the second floor. There are plenty of rooms available, that should be enough."

"Hmm." I nodded. Pu Weichao had arranged these things very well, so no one else needed to worry about them.

“Sigh.” Pu Weichao suddenly sighed and said, “Let’s not talk about those three celebrities for now. Let’s talk about Zhong Linxuan first. That kid was unlucky and is already dead. How are we going to tell his sister now? His sister is only fourteen years old, a junior high school student. Can she handle it?”

"We have to bear it even if we can't," I said, and suddenly Wu Shuang came to mind.

“You think it’s that simple? She’s still a child. Her mental resilience is not as good as ours, a roughneck. What if she tries to commit suicide after we tell her?” Pu Weichao said.

"Are you not going to tell me now?" Fei Lichao asked.

Pu Weichao looked conflicted. "It's a definite yes, but we'll have to keep a close eye on this girl from now on."

Fei Lichao then said, "What if we don't tell the little girl? What if we say her brother is still alive? Would that make her feel better?"

Pu Weichao rolled his eyes. "If that's the case, what about that little girl who wants to stay here and wait for her brother to come back? Are we all supposed to stay here with her and guard this place forever? Are we even going to go to the safe zone?"

Fei Lichao was speechless, not angry, but just feeling helpless.

“However, who should go and talk to that little girl?” Pu Weichao stroked his chin, his gaze shifting between me and Fei Lichao before finally settling on my face.

Fei Lichao, too, stared at me the moment he looked up.

I closed my eyes, my heart filled with conflicting emotions.

Pu Weichao patted my shoulder and said, "Don't think we're being unfair. It's just that, out of the three of us, you're the closest to that girl, so only you can handle this. As for Captain Fei and me, we'll go check out those three celebrities and see what their character is like. If they're not good enough, we'll leave them here."

After deciding on the next steps, the three of us split up and took action.

The three celebrities were summoned directly by Fei Lichao and Pu Weichao.

I went to Lu Jing's side. Zhong Linyun had been staying by her side the whole time, her pretty little face full of aggrieved expression. I didn't know how to start a conversation with her.

Lu Jing asked, "How is Li Qiming?"

I said, "He's fine now. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up soon."

Lu Jing nodded and said, "Thank you. Luckily you're a doctor."

I smiled and said, "Let's find somewhere to talk."

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Lu Jing asked.

I looked at Zhong Linyun, and Lu Jing immediately understood. She turned around and led me into a room.

Zhong Linyun wasn't stupid. After entering the house and closing the door, she asked, "Is my brother gone?"
