Li Sikai raised an eyebrow: "No, but I'm quite familiar with that place. After all, Suzhou is not far from Shanghai."
Ji Kangyong nodded: "That's true!"
"Brother, are you from Haishi?"
"right!"
"Judging from your demeanor, you must be in a similar profession to us."
Chi Kangyong did not deny it: "Before the disaster, I was a policeman."
“Oh, then we can be considered family,” Li Sikai said with a smile.
Ji Kangyong nodded: "Ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know."
"We just wanted to ask what the situation is on the other side. We were planning to go there."
Ji Kangyong recounted what he knew, and then concluded, "I guess it's pretty much the same everywhere now!"
Li Sikai nodded. "Indeed, the place we left was just as you said; everyone was starving and would eat anything. On your side, did no one go to look for the guards?"
Ji Kangyong shook his head: "No, they think the road is inconvenient and they're not considering moving for the time being. What about your people?"
Li Sikai laughed and said, "It's the same on our side. It's just the three of us. We feel that we've done enough outside, so we want to leave as soon as possible."
The truth is, Xiong Jianwei had been unconscious for so many days, and we needed to find him a doctor quickly. Also, it was starting to rain where we were leaving, and if we delayed any longer, we wouldn't be able to leave.
"Well, where are you planning to go?" For some reason, Ji Kangyong asked the question as if he were possessed.
"I was originally planning to go to the place you came from, and then head to the city's guard unit. Why are you heading this way? It seems like we're getting further away from the guard unit from here!"
Ji Kangyong nodded: "I'm going to find my brother's wife, and then I'll go back to Haishi."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely, so he quickly explained, "My brother is also a guard. He and his wife had twins. They each had one in their arms, and they were swept to different places by the current."
I have to go find his wife, otherwise, with the two of them, one big and one small, something might happen to them.
The image of a couple popped into Li Sikai's mind, and he asked, "What's your friend's name?"
"Shen Yanming, do you know him?"
Li Sikai, Geng Zhixing, and Sun Sainan exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, we know each other, and we're on pretty good terms. I never expected to bump into someone who's actually his friend. Where is Qiao An? Is she far from here?"
Ji Kangyong was stunned. He nodded and said, "It's not far. I estimate we can run into each other in two or three days."
The three exchanged glances, whispered to each other, and then asked Ji Kangyong, "How about we go with you?"
"You're not going to the guard team?" Ji Kangyong asked incredulously.
Li Sikai smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter whether I go or not."
They wanted to find a doctor to examine Xiong Jianwei, but given Xiong's condition, it would be troublesome not to find someone they could completely trust.
Moreover, it's uncertain whether the guards have any medicine to treat the plague. If they don't, their trip will have been in vain.
After all, the epidemic spread very quickly, and those who had contracted it were already gone. It's very possible that before research institutions even had a chance to develop a drug, everyone would have died.
Only Old Bear, I don't know if he survived because of antibiotics, fever reducers or the water from the space well.
Li Sikai knew that Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had ancient prescriptions, and perhaps those prescriptions could bring Old Xiong a new lease on life.
But if I go with Kang-Yong Chi, I'll have to expose the secret of the space.
Although they trusted Shen Yanming's character, they still needed to investigate his friends.
So the three of them didn't directly state their purpose, only saying that they were going to help a friend. Actually, it was quite helpless, but what could they do when Old Bear was lying in the space?
Ji Kangyong was unaware of their ulterior motives; he simply found the three of them rather strange. He even suspected that they might be fabricating their identities.
"Well, since we're going the same way, why don't we add each other as friends?" Ji Kangyong asked.
Li Sikai found the other person's instant wariness somewhat amusing, but still nodded: "Okay!"
As the four approached, Li Sikai showed them his identity information from his smart bracelet: "Hey, my name is Li Sikai. I'm a guard. I originally belonged to the Imperial Capital Guard, but due to special reasons, I was seconded to Suzhou City."
Ji Kangyong carefully examined it and, after confirming there were no problems, opened his own document for the other party to see: "My name is Ji Kangyong, and I am a junior police officer at the Third District Police Station in Shanghai. I have been working here for seven or eight years, and I was a college classmate of Shen Yanming."
Li Sikai nodded and added the other person as a friend. Then he introduced the two people next to him: "This is Sun Sainan, and this is Geng Zhixing. They are my teammates and partners. We all belong to the Imperial Capital Guard."
Ji Kangyong nodded and shook hands with the other party: "Hello, nice to meet you!"
Geng Zhixing and Sun Sainan shook hands with a smile: "Isn't it a coincidence that we ran into acquaintances who are all people we know? It seems like it really is fate."
Ji Kangyong shook his head and chuckled: "Yes, who could have imagined it?"
Seeing that everyone had finished exchanging pleasantries, Li Sikai suggested, "Let's leave here first."
The mud that had reached my thighs was quite uncomfortable.
Ji Kangyong looked up at the sun and saw that it had fully risen. He nodded and said, "Okay, we can talk in detail after we get ashore."
"By the way, where is Qiao An? Are you heading in this direction to Longteng City?"
Ji Kangyong shook his head: "I don't know which city she is in. I just headed in that general direction."
Li Sikai was completely confused. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Ji Kangyong scratched his head: "Her signal has been missing for three days. I was worried that something might have happened, so I wanted to look for her based on the directions I remembered."
"The signal disappeared? That shouldn't be possible!" Bi Qiaoan has been in the guard team for two years; she shouldn't make such a basic mistake. Could something really have happened?
Thinking they wouldn't believe him, Ji Kangyong showed them the location information of his friends linked to his smart bracelet. As a result, Bi Qiaoan's little red dot was brightly lit.
"Oh wait, why is it out again?" Ji Kangyong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Looking at his scrunched-up face, Li Sikai burst out laughing: "Maybe I accidentally turned it off earlier."
"Alright, now that we have directions, let's set off. But your sense of direction is terrible; you've actually taken the wrong turn. If you keep going like this, you might not find your way even after a week."
"No way, did I really go the wrong way?" Ji Kangyong didn't believe it. He zoomed in on the map and looked at it for a long time, still feeling that he hadn't gone the wrong way.
Geng Zhixing stepped forward, took a look, and nodded: "It is indeed wrong, there is a deviation. But it is normal for ordinary people who have not been trained to find the wrong direction. If you hadn't met us, you would probably have taken a lot of detours."
At that moment, Ji Kangyong felt very fortunate to have met three benefactors. Little did he know that in the time that followed, he would be even more grateful for this encounter.
