I wasn't surprised that Li Jiaming wanted to leave.
His words during the morning meeting proved his true intentions.
Everyone has the right to choose their own path. Most of us chose to stand against Lu Ding, and Li Jiaming's decision to leave was not wrong.
This is not cowardice; it is simply a choice, a choice to survive.
To be honest, I'm a little envious of him because he can choose to leave, but I can't.
I've already been dragged into this, and even if Pu Weichao and the others allow me to leave, I won't agree to it in my heart.
Our lives will likely not be peaceful until Ludin's matter is resolved.
After that, I told Pu Weichao about it.
After listening, Pu Weichao didn't react much, but said, "I'm too lazy to deal with this. My head is about to explode. You handle it. However, before he leaves, I think you should say something to him. Do you understand what I mean?"
I understood what Pu Weichao meant and nodded: "Alright, leave it to me."
Pu Weichao left to ponder his troubles.
...
Around 3:30 p.m., I took my binoculars and went to the roof of the dormitory building to check the surrounding situation.
My thinking was that since Ludin's side already knew our location, they would definitely send people to monitor us. So I thought I'd use my binoculars to look around and see if I could spot any of Ludin's men.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is not.
To be honest, you can't see anything at all.
A telescope can indeed see everything in the distance, but finding a living person inside a building is a very difficult task.
That's wishful thinking.
After watching for an hour without getting anything out of it, I decided to give up.
Since it's ineffective, it's just a waste of time.
To be honest, if we put ourselves in their shoes...
If I were Ludin, after learning the location of the school, I would definitely observe the surrounding area to see how many people were in the school, their comings and goings, and so on. Once all the information was confirmed, I would launch an attack.
I think Ludin is definitely doing that now.
In fact, Pu Weichao was well aware of this matter. After all, we were in the open while they were in the shadows, so such things were bound to happen. But Pu Weichao was not afraid at all.
I don't know what Pu Weichao is thinking, and I certainly don't know what to do.
...
The next morning.
Around seven o'clock, I had just gotten up when Li Jiaming knocked on my door.
Seeing the way he came in, I knew he had made his decision.
"Please sit down," I said.
"Hmm." Li Jiaming moved a stool and sat down opposite me.
"Have you made up your mind?" I asked.
“Yes, I want to leave,” Li Jiaming said.
I nodded. "Alright, go ahead if you want. I'll give you the weapons and food later. But before you leave, there are some things I want to tell you. I hope you'll listen carefully."
Li Jiaming looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I said, "These words are not important. Just treat them as nonsense."
Li Jiaming was surprised.
I continued, “Leaving is a very dangerous thing. You know the situation outside; it’s full of zombies. If you live alone outside, you probably can’t relax for a moment. And I think you understand how troublesome those zombies are. Even if you have the ability to kill them now, if there are too many of them, you will still die.”
"I'm not saying this to persuade you not to leave, but just to warn you about the dangers outside. Besides, the most dangerous thing outside isn't zombies, but people. Human hearts are terrifying, so after you leave, if you encounter any living people, never trust them and never get close."
Li Jiaming nodded and said, "I understand all of that."
I chuckled softly, a hint of doubt in my eyes, and continued, "Good that you understand. After you leave, try not to go into the city. If it's safe, it's safer outside. That's all I can tell you. Do you want to leave now, or wait until tonight?"
"At night?" Li Jiaming looked at me, puzzled. "Of course we should leave now. It's so dark at night, we can't see anything, how can we leave?"
I raised an eyebrow. "You can leave now, but I hope you'll do so discreetly."
Li Jiaming looked puzzled, not understanding what I meant.
I said, "The reason I'm asking you to hide is because Ludin and his men now know where we are, so it's very likely they have people lying in ambush around here, constantly monitoring us. If you go out through the main gate, you'll definitely be discovered, so it's best to hide and not be found."
Li Jiaming nodded blankly, seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
"Let's go. Since you want to leave now, I'll take you to get weapons and food. Once you're ready, I'll send you away."
"Thank you," Li Jiaming said.
We arrived at the armory.
The armory has many weapons, but he can't carry many by himself.
I picked out an assault rifle, two pistols, two military machetes, bulletproof vests, protective gear, and other necessary items for him.
As for bullets, I gave them quite a lot.
"These things should last you a long time. Come on, let me get you some food."
After getting some food from a dormitory room, I said, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone now. Chen and the others will be setting off to find a place to stay soon. You should go out with Chen and that way, it won't arouse suspicion."
"Okay, sure," Li Jiaming said.
Yesterday, Chen Sheng and Fei Lichao went out, but they couldn't find a suitable place to stay, so they plan to go again today.
Perfect, let Li Jiaming go with us.
Around 8:30 a.m., Fei Lichao and Shen Dian's group set off in two separate groups.
Li Jiaming left with the group that had settled down.
...
Pu Weichao found me at 3 p.m.
"Li Jiaming is gone?"
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Pu Weichao nodded, "Let him go. It's his own choice, and it has nothing to do with us."
I smiled wryly and said, "I don't know where he got the courage from."
Pu Weichao said, "These things are hard to explain. Alright, stop talking nonsense. I came to find you because Yan Zhengfeng is back. He said he found Lu Ding and the others' place. Let's go over and discuss it together."
“Really!” I exclaimed in surprise.
"Why would I lie to you about something like this? Let's go. Now that Yan Zhengfeng has found the other party's residence, let's discuss our next plan."
I nodded and followed in Pu Weichao's footsteps.
Now that Lu Ding's residence has been found, Pu Weichao's plan can now begin.
