(Second update is here. I've only finished half of the outline for episode six, but I won't forget to post five updates tomorrow. The update schedule is the same as before. Finally, please give me a recommendation.)
I drove to the vicinity of Zijin Residential Area, but did not go close. After all, Zhou Liang had many people, and if I approached rashly, I would definitely be discovered, and it would be a loss if unnecessary trouble arose.
I cautiously approached the back of the Zijin residential area.
To be honest, this is my first time in this neighborhood, and I don't know what's going on inside. Yan Zhengfeng left a map before, which was very detailed, but I only glanced at it a few times and didn't remember much of it.
Moreover, judging from what that boy with the middle part said, the area they occupied was only a part of the Zijin residential area. After all, the Zijin residential area is very large, much larger than the school where we live. It's already quite good to have a safe place to live. As for cleaning up the entire Zijin residential area, it would probably be very difficult.
The back gate of Zijin Residential Area was closed, and it was closed very tightly.
I tried, but it was locked inside and I couldn't open it.
The perimeter of the residential area is not a wall, but a carved iron fence, which is quite tall, about two and a half meters high.
However, getting in is still quite easy.
I peered through the iron fence and found that the monsters in the Zijin Residential Area were much fewer than I had imagined.
"Strange, with so few monsters, why do they only live in the front? There are so many houses to live in at the back, why are they crowding into the front?"
I shook my head, didn't think much of it, and climbed straight up the fence.
The height of 2.5 meters didn't feel high after I climbed up. I jumped over the fence, looked around, pulled out a machete from my waist, and hid by the wall of a villa.
"Aww!"
A monster seemed to hear me and came from the front of the villa.
The monster appeared at the corner and walked over before I killed it with my knife. To avoid attracting attention, I quietly placed the monster's corpse on the ground, went to the corner to check the situation outside, and seeing no one, I decisively ran out.
I originally wanted to go into this villa and go up to the top floor to check the situation, but when I got to the door, I found it was locked.
This makes me very unhappy.
I ran towards the center of the Zijin residential area, weaving between the villas. Before long, I saw an area in front of the residential area that was blocked off with wooden boards.
That must be where they live.
I didn't rush over because I had a feeling that something was wrong.
Since I climbed over the wall to get in, I haven't encountered a single living person in this community, and I've even rarely encountered monsters. This makes me wonder, since there are so few monsters at the back of the community, why don't the people at the front move to the back?
Moreover, and most importantly, it was too quiet around us.
Everything was too quiet, eerily quiet.
Logically, if there are people living in front of the community, they should make some noise, but there was no sound at all.
This is making me a little panicked.
When I came here before, I went straight to the back door without checking the front. The reasons were simple: first, I was afraid of being discovered, and second, it would be easier to launch a surprise attack from the back.
But right now, I have a very bad feeling about what's ahead.
But no matter how bad it is, I'm going to go in.
The little girl and Yunlan might be locked inside; I have to rescue them.
Even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, I have to go in.
Having made up my mind, I took out my pistol and ran forward.
The area in front was divided by a row of wooden planks. Above the planks was a large black curtain that hung from the roof of the two villas, completely obscuring the area and making it impossible to see anything.
I ran over, came to the edge behind the wooden plank, stepped over the plank, and entered the isolated area.
When I came in, I thought I would hear some noise.
However, the entire area was completely silent.
I carefully made my way up the villa from its edge.
If I'm not mistaken, the area in front is the main entrance area of the villa.
When I came out and saw the situation at the gate, I was stunned.
"How could this be..."
I opened my mouth slightly and stared at the empty area in front of me.
Ahead was an empty space, nothing at all—no people, no monsters, and certainly no cars.
"Could it be..."
I walked to the center of the area and turned to look at the three villas behind me. Just as I expected, the villas were empty, with nothing left behind.
"Everyone here has left? All gone?"
I'm a little slow to react.
But something's not right. According to what the guy with the middle part said, Zhou Liang should still be living here and couldn't have left.
I frowned, unable to understand.
"Or is that guy with the middle part lying to me? He's been lying to me from the very beginning. Could it be that he just wanted me to come here?" I frowned. "But what's his purpose in lying to me? There's nothing here. What's the point of bringing me here?"
I'm starting to regret it; I should have known better than to kill those two people first.
I went into the villa on the left, looked around, and found nothing inside.
After I came out, I ran into the villa in the middle. I went upstairs to take a look, but there was nothing upstairs either. The whole house had been emptied out, and almost everything usable inside was gone.
I went up to the first floor and was just about to go out to the third villa when I suddenly heard some noises behind me.
