In the stillness of the night, the cool breeze feels a bit biting.
I don't know how to describe the night before me—is it a sky full of stars, or a night of eerie silence?
Looking up at the starry sky, I suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.
I remember a few months ago, after Hu Fei and I escaped from that slave group, the four of us were resting in his workshop. One night, when I was outside keeping watch, I saw a ball of fire fall from the sky.
I initially thought it was a shooting star, but now that I think about it carefully, it probably wasn't a shooting star at all!
It was probably a satellite that fell from the sky!
However, I didn't look closely at the time and was captured by the enslavement team. I was really unwilling to accept it.
"If what we saw back then was really a satellite falling from space, that would be a huge problem! Why would it suddenly fall? Could it be because it lost control from the ground?"
I became puzzled; I didn't understand anything about satellites.
However, based on the satellite's trajectory, they shouldn't easily fall out of space.
"Forget it, let's not think about this anymore. I can't figure it out anyway. The most important thing now is the decoy operation. We need to solve this problem first."
I cleared my mind of the jumbled thoughts and rode my bicycle, constantly alert to my surroundings.
I left the school about twenty minutes ago. I wasn't riding very fast, and I should still be about halfway to Jiangbei.
Now that I'm already here, I imagine it won't be long before Biyuan attacks me.
However, it would be a bit of a pain if the people from Biyuan didn't attack me.
This plan was thus rendered useless.
Five more minutes passed, and I still hadn't encountered anyone from Biyuan, nor was there any movement around me. I had, however, run into a wave of zombies earlier, but luckily I saw them in time and managed to avoid them. If I had been stopped by that wave of zombies, I wouldn't be alive today.
After circling back to the main road, they still didn't see anyone from Biyuan.
My doubts began to grow. "This shouldn't be happening. Logically, the mole should have already notified the people at Biyuan. Besides, I was indeed acting alone. There's no reason why the people at Biyuan wouldn't come to arrest me. If they really didn't come, did they really mean I would ride my bicycle to Jiangbei?"
I gave a wry smile. Hope you don't stand me up...
Wow!
Just as I was lost in thought, two beams of headlights suddenly lit up twenty meters ahead. The dazzling headlights, with their high beams on, shone on my face, making it impossible for me to open my eyes.
Besides the car blocking my way, two other cars around me also turned on their headlights, shining them at an angle onto me.
I stopped my bicycle and was bathed in the light of six beams of light, as if I were being illuminated by a spotlight, which surprised me.
"You're here!"
I shielded my eyes from the glaring headlights and couldn't see how many people there were, but the fact that three cars came just for me showed how much Biyuan valued me.
I don't know if Li Shujiang, the big boss of Biyuan, knows my true identity. When we first met, by some mistake, he called me Lu Yi. I don't know if the mole has told him my true identity.
However, they must have known, otherwise why would they send three cars to arrest me? I stared at them, thinking carefully. It seemed possible they didn't know. The false message I gave the mole was that I needed to go to Jiangbei to deliver a secret message. Biyuan sending three cars might also be for the secret message I mentioned.
As my mind wandered, several people got out of the three cars in front of me.
At that moment, one of the three cars turned off its headlights, and the dazzling lights disappeared instantly, allowing me to adjust to the situation.
Upon closer inspection, I saw three people walking towards me. They stopped about ten meters away, each holding a gun with its dark muzzle pointed at me, as if they were about to fire at any moment.
The other two vehicles, which still had their headlights on, also had people inside. The one on the left was a pickup truck. Although it was a bit hard to see clearly through the lights, you could still vaguely make out that there was a person standing on the pickup truck, and this person was probably holding a rifle.
With so many people pointing guns at me, to be honest, I was a little nervous.
A man standing ten meters away from me said, "Take the things out of your pockets and throw them away, or I'll shoot you."
My hands are in my pockets right now, because I have a pistol in my pocket, just in case.
But given the current situation, I can't use the pistol in my pocket.
So I slowly took the pistol out of my pocket with my right hand, and then, in order to divert their attention, I asked, "By the way, you're from Biyuan, right?"
I took out my pistol and threw it a short distance away. It hit a zombie on the head, and the zombie moved and walked towards us.
So someone from the other side went and dealt with the zombie.
They didn't answer my question, so I continued, "I'm curious, how did the people at Biyuan know I would be out so late at night? Were you monitoring me the whole time?"
The other person didn't answer, took a few steps forward, looked me up and down, and asked, "Give me the bag behind you."
I gave a wry smile, took off the bag from my back, and said, "There's nothing in here, so it's unnecessary. Besides, the things inside are useless to you, so it's pointless to give them to you. I might as well keep them myself."
Bang!
The man fired a shot directly at me, and the tire on my bicycle blew out.
"Give it to me!" he shouted sternly.
I nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, here you go, really, there's absolutely nothing inside! They even threatened me with a gun, was that necessary?"
I threw the backpack I was carrying directly at the other person's feet.
The other person picked up the backpack from the ground, padded it, and found that it was quite heavy.
I said, "You'd better not open it. The things inside aren't for you to see. If you see them and learn too much, it won't be good."
The other person completely ignored my advice, staring at me with a slight smile on their lips, and unzipped their pants right in front of me.
"No..." I said, pretending to be serious.
Then, without even looking at the contents of the backpack, the other person reached in and touched it. His expression immediately changed. Not only did his expression change, but his eyes also filled with terror. He looked down into the bag, but before he could see anything, he screamed in agony.
"Ah!" He instantly pulled out his right hand, and under the car's headlights, his index finger was gone! Blood flowed down from his severed finger.
The backpack in his hand fell to the ground, and then a zombie head rolled out of the backpack. The zombie head's mouth was still moving, as if it was chewing its fingers!
Seeing this, I sneered, "I told you not to move, but you insisted on moving anyway. How stupid."
