The afternoon of the second day after the plan was finalized.
The school remained the same. Du Xu's students seemed quite accustomed to school life. Although someone had died yesterday, life had to go on after the grief. If everything went smoothly from here on out, school life would return to normal.
I hope that day will come.
Summer is gradually approaching and the weather is getting hot, but it's not yet the scorching sun; the weather is quite cool and pleasant.
A gentle breeze drifted into the hallway, carrying a faint smell of blood.
Fei Lichao and I came downstairs and discussed our trip to Jiangbei.
Upon arriving at the dormitory building entrance, Fei Lichao said in an unhappy tone, "Xiaonan, are you really going to Jiangbei tonight? And all by yourself!"
I stood in front of him and said, "There's no other way. If I go alone, I'll be less of a target. I'm also planning to ride my bicycle there, so no one will notice me. And don't you trust my abilities? Don't worry about me, nothing will happen."
Fei Lichao's eyes showed worry, and he resolutely disagreed, saying, "I don't agree. You're not going to sneak out tonight either. Is it appropriate for you to go to Jiangbei alone to tell Su Mu such an important matter?"
I scratched my nose and said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Besides, only I can handle this. If you go, Su Mu probably won't believe you."
"No, even if we have to go, I'm going with you."
I frowned and said, "Old Fei, can you stop making a fuss? I can only go to find Su Mu by myself. If you leave with me, what will happen here? I need you to stay here and keep an eye on things. Du Xu has only been in Jiajiang for two days, and there are many things he doesn't know yet. I need you to stay here, understand?"
Fei Lichao retorted angrily, "Even so, I can't just watch you take such a risk!"
I said, “I’ll set off alone at night, and no one will notice me. Besides, I’ll be riding a bicycle, so there won’t be any noise. It would be strange if they found me. And besides, it’s just a trip to Jiangbei by myself. What’s so adventurous about it? Back when we were in Hangzhou, after I got separated from you guys in the hospital, I still survived on my own.”
Fei Lichao wanted to say something, but I stopped him directly.
"Alright, don't say anything. Even if you want to curse me, don't say it out loud. This is settled. I will leave here quietly by myself after nightfall. No one will find that I have left, so you don't need to insist on this anymore."
I solemnly said, "My actions tonight are crucial to the future of both our teams, so I must let Su Mu know about this. Once he knows, our plan to deal with Biyuan can begin, and it shouldn't be long before our lives return to normal."
Fei Lichao's face was full of worry. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but didn't. He could only nod, pat my shoulder, and say, "Alright, it's settled then. But after we set off tonight, you must be extremely careful. If anything happens, turn back immediately. Don't be reckless."
"I understand."
After saying that, we left the dormitory building and headed towards the playground. We chatted about this and that, and time passed by like that.
...
In the evening, I went to Wang Xintong's room.
At this moment, Wang Xintong is simply Wang Xintong, not Chu Yu.
When Wang Xintong saw me arrive, she looked a little flustered and asked, "Are you here to see Chu Yu?"
I shook my head. "You don't need to make her come out. I can just tell you directly."
Wang Xintong looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I smiled slightly and said, "What was bound to happen has finally happened."
After hearing me say something so strange, Wang Xintong was a little surprised and asked, "Wh-what do you mean?"
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't mean anything. Just pretend you didn't hear that. Actually, I came to see you just to ask if you and Huang Yiyang would be willing to live with me from now on? That is, to join my team."
"Ah..." Wang Xintong was shy and lacked assertiveness. Hearing this, she hesitated. "Well, could we wait until Huang Yiyang arrives before we talk about this? I, I don't know how to answer you."
I smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just came to tell you that life will be tough from now on. Being with us might make things easier for you, and you won't have to worry about anything anymore."
Wang Xintong looked away, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
I knew this girl wasn't good with words, so I decisively took my leave.
"Alright, when Huang Yiyang comes back, ask him if he'd like to live with me from now on. If you're both willing, then we're family."
"Yes, I will tell him."
Leaving Wang Xintong's dormitory, I stood in the corridor, watching the sunset slowly descend in the west.
It's almost night. Once night falls, I'll set off to leave this place, and at the same time, the plan can begin.
...
I waited for several hours, and I also prepared for several hours.
At 11:30 p.m., I put on my backpack, got on a bicycle, and quietly left the school.
Tonight, I'm afraid many people won't be able to sleep.
I rode my bicycle slowly away from the school.
At night, the zombies are very quiet as long as there is no movement around them, so when I go out on my bicycle, I can leave safely as long as I have a flashlight.
This operation is a bait plan devised by Chu Yu, and I'm going to be the bait, so it's going to be a bit dangerous.
Fei Lichao originally wanted to be the bait, but I felt that if the mole really was him, then it would be more appropriate for me to be the bait.
So the argument between Fei Lichao and me earlier that afternoon was real, not an act, but I eventually convinced him.
Now that I've set off as bait, the traitor has probably already begun his operation.
The road I take to Jiangbei is the one I use most often because there are fewer zombies on this road, making it easier for me to move around.
To be honest, I'm very nervous right now. After all, I'm being used as bait. Although Du Xu and Fei Lichao are ready to come to my rescue at any time, the mole is still lurking in the shadows, and I suspect the people from Biyuan are also hiding in the dark.
It would be very dangerous for me if they launched a sneak attack.
"Sigh, I have no choice but to take a gamble. I hope my conversation with Fei Lichao this afternoon will make this traitor understand that Biyuan will let me live in order to get the information I have, and will not kill me directly."
"As long as we follow this script, the entrapment operation will proceed smoothly."
"Come on!" I took a deep breath and encouraged myself.
