My restraints were released, and I rubbed my stinging cheek, feeling quite annoyed. But no matter how annoyed I was, it was all in the past; the three men were now dead, and there was nothing I could do to take revenge.

I never expected that it would be Yan Zhengfeng who came to my rescue.

What I didn't expect was that Yan Zhengfeng was so decisive and killed these three people directly.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given his personality, it's not surprising that he killed those three people.

When Pu Weichao and his companion came in and saw that the number of people was not right, they asked in surprise, "Why are there only three? Weren't there four of them?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know. After I was tied up here, I only saw the three of them. I don't know where the other person went."

Yan Zhengfeng said, "Perhaps he's already dead."

I looked at them curiously and asked why they were so late.

Then Pu Weichao explained the reason.

It turns out that after they discovered I had been kidnapped, they came over immediately. They happened to run into Yan Zhengfeng, who was on his way to rescue me, and the three of them discussed it and decided to use a feint attack.

And that's how the events just happened.

Pu Weichao and Fei Lichao distracted Lao Zhou from the outside, while Yan Zhengfeng launched a sneak attack from behind, killing all three of them in one fell swoop.

"Stop worrying about it, let's go," Fei Lichao said, and walked towards the door.

I touched my wrist and felt like something was missing, then said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Pu Weichao asked.

I glanced at Lao Zhou and noticed that the watch Wu Shuang had given me was on his wrist. He must have taken it from me when I was unconscious. I took the watch back from him and put it back on, saying, "It's alright, let's go."

Once we got in the car, we set off back.

In the car, Pu Weichao and I sat in the back. Pu Weichao seemed to be thinking about something, and his expression was slightly serious.

I asked, "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

Pu Weichao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Nothing, just thinking about something."

"What's going on? It's not about the safe zone again, is it?" I asked.

He shook his head and said, "No, it's about those guys from earlier. There were four of them when we ran into them at the convenience store, why are there only three now? Where did the other one go?"

I was puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, I said, "Maybe they had an accident on the way and died?"

Pu Weichao nodded: "That's possible. But when you were kidnapped by them, did you notice any emotions on their faces? If any of them died, they should have been sad. Were any of them sad?"

I thought about it carefully, then slowly shook my head and said, "No."

Pu Weichao nodded and chuckled.

"Do you think the other one is still alive?" I asked curiously.

Pu Weichao shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know, and I can't guess. Maybe that person is dead, maybe he's still alive, but it doesn't seem to concern us anymore."

His words left me completely confused.

But I'm too lazy to think about it, so I'll just close my eyes and rest.

Back at the team's location, we took a short rest and continued our journey.

The safe zone is located on the outskirts of Jiajiang.

It's not far from us.

...

Around 3 p.m., we arrived near the Jiajiang Military Region, as Fei Lichao had mentioned.

From a distance, we could see that the area where the military region was located was surrounded by walls, with no place where the wind could get through. As for the surrounding area, it was obvious that it was full of monsters.

We did not approach.

Fei Lichao originally intended for us to drive directly to the entrance of the safe zone, but Pu Weichao rejected this idea and stopped the car one kilometer away from the safe zone.

We have no problem with Pu Weichao's actions, but Fei Lichao is a little unhappy.

We got out of the car, and the surrounding area was quite open with few monsters, so it felt very safe.

We got out of the car, and Fei Lichao went up to Pu Weichao and asked directly, "What the hell do you mean? Why don't we just go straight over? Why are we stopping here?"

Pu Weichao wasn't angry. He said calmly, "Don't you find it strange? We're already so close to the safe zone, so why isn't there any reaction from the safe zone?"

“Isn’t that obvious? We haven’t even reached the door yet, why are they reacting?” Fei Lichao said.

Pu Weichao said firmly, "I don't plan to go directly there. It would be best if we went to scout ahead first and figure out what the safe zone is really like. Once we know that it's safe, we can come back and bring people over. If it's not safe, going there will be a waste of time."

Fei Lichao couldn't win the argument with Pu Weichao and looked furious.

I said from the side, "Alright, you two are getting angry. Let's do as Pu Weichao says. The three of us will go and check the situation first. Anyway, it's still early, and it won't take us long to go back and forth."

After hearing what I said, Fei Lichao's expression softened considerably, and he finally nodded and said, "Alright, let's go take a look first."

After I explained the situation to everyone, the three of us set off for the safe zone one kilometer away.

One kilometer isn't far, and the three of us walk at a fairly fast pace. Moreover, there are very few monsters along the way, so it's relatively safe.

The military region is located in what can be described as a desolate wilderness. The outskirts of Jiajiang are sparsely populated, so it's no wonder that this area has become a safe zone.

On the road.

Pu Weichao asked me, "I forgot to ask you earlier, did you see anything when you went home?"

I gave a wry smile and recounted what had happened.

"So you didn't see anything?"
