Two days later, I received a message from Fei Lichao at school saying that Du Xu had arrived.
This news made me happy for a long time. I told Cui Xiaofei and Su Yao about it, and they were also overjoyed and wanted to see their friends whom they hadn't seen in a long time right away.
After getting some information from Fei Lichao via walkie-talkie, I didn't take Cui Xiaofei and the others out of the Southeast Residential Area because it was too dangerous!
Biyuan must have learned from the mole that the school and Jiangbei are two different teams. If that's the case, Biyuan will definitely be monitoring the school. If that's the case, it will be a bit dangerous for me to take people there.
Moreover, Du Xu's people are currently at the school. If Bi Yuan finds out, it will be very dangerous for Du Xu's people.
However, they couldn't let Du Xu's people come directly to the Southeast Community. If they did, the Southeast Community would be exposed to Biyuan, and no one knew what would happen then.
What should have been a joyful piece of news has left me feeling a little down.
"I'll go take a look myself first."
After making the decision, I had no choice but to leave Cui Xiaofei and the others behind and go to school alone.
Jingjie's emotions have stabilized in the past two days, but someone needs to take charge of things in the Southeast Community, so I didn't take Jingjie to school.
Du Xu's men arrived. According to Fei Lichao, Du Xu's team consisted of quite a few people, about twenty or so, and what was encouraging was that they had a rich arsenal of firearms and equipment.
However, whether Du Xu's men are willing to help me fight against Bi Yuan is another matter entirely.
After all, they are just a group of unrelated people. If we drag them into this matter, they will probably feel disgusted.
There's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time.
Two days ago, Wang Hao and I went to Jiangbei to discuss cooperation with Su Mu. Su Mu had no problems with our cooperation, and there were no restrictions between us. Our actions would not interfere with each other, but we must share intelligence. This was an agreement that Su Mu and I reached together.
Now that we need to confront Biyuan, we can only resort to strategy.
We know too little about Biyuan. We can only take action after we have learned all about their situation; otherwise, we won't even know how we died.
And don't forget, there's still an inside man operating in Jiangbei.
Su Mu has tried everything to lure out this traitor, but there has been no progress, which is making us very frustrated.
"Sigh, everything can only be done slowly. I hope Du Xu can really help me."
I don't have high expectations of Du Xu. If he's unwilling to help, I won't force him. If he's willing to help, that would be the best outcome.
After a forty-minute drive, I arrived at the school and saw Fei Lichao waiting at the school gate.
I notified him when I was almost there, so it's normal for him to wait here.
After we entered the school, I let him get in the car and asked, "Where are Du Xu and the others?"
Fei Lichao said, "I'm waiting for you in the conference room."
I drove to the outside of the school dormitory building, got out of the car, and saw that there were quite a few people moving around inside.
I asked Fei Lichao, "Have you checked around the school these past two days? Have you found anyone?"
Fei Lichao said, "I've checked, but I didn't find anyone. I guess those bastards learned their lesson last time and hid better this time."
The lesson Fei Lichao mentioned from last time was naturally my previous robbery and killing of the people at Biyuan.
When I arrived at the conference room, I pushed open the door and saw the woman inside.
It was Du Xu and his wife Zeng Yumo. The two were chatting and laughing inside. When they saw me come in, they stood up from their stools.
Du Xu chuckled: "Long time no see, Lu Xiaonan."
I reached out and shook his hand, saying, "It really has been a long time. You look radiant; it seems something good happened to you during your month in Wutong City?"
Du Xu nodded and smiled, "I guess so, but I was just lucky. Never mind, I'll tell you about this later. Let me tell you about the situation here first. Didn't you tell me before that this was your base? When I came here, there was no one here. If I hadn't run into Fei Lichao, I would have thought I came to the wrong place."
Zeng Yumo also said, "Yeah, it's really strange that there's no one here. Are you lying to us again? Is this not actually your base?"
I glanced at Fei Lichao beside me. "Didn't you tell them?"
Fei Lichao smiled wryly, "How am I supposed to explain this to them? Do you think I can explain it clearly? So, I might as well wait for you to come and explain it to them."
Du Xu asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
I said, "Something did happen, which is why no one lives here."
Du Xu asked in confusion, "I think this place is quite safe. The walls are fine, the entrance is reinforced, and there are very few zombies around. Why don't you live here?"
I smiled wryly and said, "This is a long story. To put it simply, the current situation in Jiajiang is somewhat similar to that in Wutong City."
Du Xu's eyes widened. "Could it be that someone else also wants to unify Jiajiang?"
I nodded. "Yes, and not just one. There are two powerful teams that want to inform the entire Jiajiang area. These two places are called Jiangbei and Biyuan. I wasn't aware of them before; I only had in-depth contact with these two teams after returning from Wutong City. A week before you arrived, there was a conflict between Jiangbei and Biyuan. I was on Jiangbei's side..."
At this point, I feel a little sad. "I had a friend who died in that conflict."
Du Xu said, "Please accept my condolences."
I nodded. "Besides that, I need to make my current situation clear to you. I'm currently cooperating with Jiangbei to deal with Biyuan, but we don't know Biyuan's exact strength, so it's very likely that we will fail in the end. If we fail, Jiangbei and I will only have one way out: death."
"Therefore, for your safety, I have no choice but to let you leave for the time being. I don't want to involve you in this matter, since it has nothing to do with you."
Du Xu frowned slightly and exchanged a glance with Zeng Yumo beside him.
Du Xu sighed and said, "I thought I could finally live a peaceful life here with you, but I never expected you to encounter something like this. I..."
Knock knock knock.
Just as Du Xugang was speaking, there was a knock on the conference room door, and someone pushed it open and entered.
I turned around and was immediately surprised when I saw the person who came in. The person who came in also stared wide-eyed in disbelief the moment they saw me.
“You…” I exclaimed in surprise.
