(Today's update is here. Ugh, I caught a cold for no reason, and my head is throbbing. Oh well, I'll keep writing. I'll write as much as I can, and I'll update as long as I write something.)
Two days later, Sister Jing had almost recovered her spirits and could get out of bed and walk without any problems. However, her wound was still a little painful, and she walked with a limp.
Lu Yun has adapted to school life in the past two days. She didn't seem to expect there to be so few people at school, but it's clear that she likes this less crowded environment.
At 10 a.m., I knocked on Jingjie's dormitory door.
"Come in," Sister Jing said from inside.
I pushed the door open and entered, only to find Sister Jing lying on her side on the bed; Lu Yun was not there.
"Where's Xiaoyun?" I asked curiously.
Jingjie said, "She's probably bored here, so she's probably wandering around the school now."
"Hmm." I can't be bothered with Lu Yun now. She doesn't trust us, and I don't trust her either, even though she's Sister Jing's sister.
After checking Jingjie's wound and making sure there was nothing wrong, I started telling her about what had happened before.
Jing told me what happened to her at the supermarket. I never imagined she had suffered so much. At the same time, I was also relieved that she was alright; otherwise, I really wouldn't know how I would have faced Zhang Zhihao.
The matter was dropped, and Sister Jing didn't want to recall it.
After that, Jingjie and I started discussing the collaboration, and the collaborator was naturally Chen Yefei, who was a bit too excited.
Jing asked me, "Since you're discussing this with me, you must have the idea of cooperating, right?"
I nodded. "Yes, I do want to cooperate with Chen Yefei. Whether now or in the future, our own situation and strength are still too weak. It's very difficult to survive in this world. Moreover, I always feel that Jiangbei Community will definitely come to contact us in a few days. In any case, we can't be controlled by others."
Sister Jing nodded. "What you said makes sense. Joining Jiangbei might give us a safe life, but it would greatly reduce our freedom, which Xiaoyun definitely wouldn't want. The best solution now is to cooperate as you suggested, but are you sure cooperation will bring us any benefits?"
I said, “Cooperation has its advantages and disadvantages. It’s fine for our group to cooperate with Chen Yefei, since we can take the initiative. No matter what happens, we can discuss it. But we have another problem now, which is Du Xu’s group.”
Jingjie asked, "When are Du Xu and the others arriving?"
I thought for a moment and said, "He said it would take about half a month if things went smoothly, and a month if things went slowly. So I thought about it and decided that if we really want to cooperate with Chen Yefei, we should wait until Du Xu arrives first."
Sister Jing nodded: "For now, this is the only way we can do it. Xiaonan, actually, there is another way we can take."
"Huh? What road?"
Sister Jing smiled and said, "We don't have to cooperate, or rather, we can cooperate secretly without any interaction on the surface."
I nodded in sudden realization, "That's a good idea."
Jingjie said, "According to Chen Yefei, it would be very difficult, practically impossible, to gather all the survivors in Jiajiang together to create a place where everyone can live. Putting aside the issue of resources, just having so many people gathered together could easily lead to conflicts, which would cause a lot of trouble. And who would be the leader then? Chen Yefei? Or Xiaonan, you?"
I gave a wry smile. "So, Sister Jing, this matter is only in the ideal stage right now, there's no rush. Even Chen Yefei himself said he's not in a hurry."
Sister Jing covered her mouth and smiled, "Since there's no rush, let's take it slow. This matter does seem very difficult and hard to achieve on the surface, but if we really manage to do it, even if we only do half of it, we might gain a lot."
I gave a wry smile. "Sigh, we haven't even started the first step of a long journey yet. Let's take it slow."
I chatted with Sister Jing for a while, intending to talk about her sister Lu Yun, but then Cui Xiaofei knocked on the dormitory door.
Cui Xiaofei pushed open the door and said to me, "Brother Lu, Zhang Zhihao and the others are here."
Zhang Zhihao is here?
I nodded: "Okay, I understand, I'll go down right away."
Cui Xiaofei left.
I looked at Sister Jing and said, "Want to go down for a walk?"
Jingjie said, "That's fine. I'm almost rusty after lying in bed for two days. Come on, Xiaonan, help me up."
I helped Sister Jing off the bed. She limped and leaned on me. It took us a few minutes to get downstairs.
Liu Guang told me that after Zhang Zhihao and the others arrived, they went to the conference room.
I helped Sister Jing into the conference room and helped her sit down. However, Sister Jing seemed hesitant to sit down, as she had a wound on one side of her buttocks, and she could only sit halfway, which looked a bit strange.
However, these are all minor matters. When I entered the meeting room, I saw that in addition to Zhang Zhihao and Fei Lichao, there was a stranger. This stranger was about 1.8 meters tall. Although he was wearing a coat, I could clearly see that he was very muscular!
The robust man looked at me and smiled, "You must be Dr. Lu Xiaonan, we meet again."
I frowned, and said to the other person across the conference room table, "Excuse me, I've never seen you before."
The other person was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you haven't seen me before, but I have seen you. However, this should be considered our first meeting. Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Mu, the... leader of Jiangbei Community."
