I observed from upstairs for a full half hour, and only after confirming that Fei Lichao and Sister Jing were not in the Southeast Community did I breathe a sigh of relief and go downstairs.
I didn't go any closer to the southeast residential area, but instead walked towards my car.
When I got back to my car, I saw the back door of the car being pushed open from the inside, and a woman covered in dirt came out. She was covering her head, and blood was flowing from her head. She was walking unsteadily, and her eyes were full of doubt. She seemed to be wondering what had happened to her.
"The woman is awake!"
I rushed over, and the woman turned around and saw me. She panicked and tried to run away, but she didn't notice the corpse under her feet and tripped over it.
When I ran to her side, I found that the woman had fainted again!
I shook my head helplessly, picked her up from the ground, and went into an empty convenience store next door. I put her on the table in the store, glanced at the two wounds on her forehead, took out a disinfectant sponge from my backpack, and disinfected the wounds on her head.
The wound isn't big, and there's no need for stitches. I don't have any band-aids or gauze on hand, so I'll just leave it like this.
I glanced at the woman's body; she was filthy, and it seemed she was living a very difficult life.
I glanced at the store; the shelves were almost empty of food, drinks, and other necessities. I picked up a piece of paper from the floor, found a pen in the drawer, and wrote: "You have a wound on your head, don't touch it, or it will get infected. These two bottles of water and this piece of bread are for you. Be careful in the future. Also, I'm really sorry for bumping into you earlier."
I left this note, two bottles of water, and a loaf of bread, then closed the shop door and left.
I can't take this woman with me on the road; I can only leave her behind and go find Sister Jing and Fei Lichao on my own.
I just don't know where they are now.
I got back to the car and picked up the walkie-talkie, the one I used to contact Du Xu.
"Du Xu, speak."
Du Xu's voice came through quickly, "I'm here. How are things going on your end?"
I said, "The situation is very bad. The southeastern district has been wiped out, and everyone inside is dead."
"What! They're all dead! What happened! Who did this?" Du Xu exclaimed in surprise.
I said, "I don't know who did it. When I got here, I found that the entire Southeast Residential Area had been overrun. I've been observing for half an hour now, but I haven't found Fei Lichao and the others in the Southeast Residential Area. I think they must have escaped. But I'm still a little worried..."
Before I could finish speaking, Du Xu asked, "Do you need me to go help?"
I hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I need your help. Oh, and could you bring Chu Yu along too?"
"Okay, I understand. Where are you now? I'll come find you."
I told Du Xu how I got here, and then I waited for him to arrive.
I can't solve this problem by myself. Now I can only wait for them to come. I hope Chu Yu can help me analyze it. It won't do for me to just wander around here like a headless fly.
After waiting for about forty minutes, Du Xu and his group arrived.
After Du Xu got off the bus, Wang Xintong, who was on the bus, also got off.
Du Xu asked, "Where is that Southeast Residential Area you mentioned?"
I pointed behind me and said, "They're over there, but it's full of zombies now, so there's no point in going there."
Wang Xintong stood around, a little curious about the situation, but also a little afraid.
I was a little surprised that Huang Yiyang didn't come along.
I went up to Wang Xintong and asked, "Wang Xintong, could you let Chu Yu come out for a moment?"
Wang Xintong shook her head and said, "No."
"Huh? Why?" I asked, puzzled.
Wang Xintong scratched her head and said, "Chu Yu told me before she came that she was going to sleep, so she asked me to let you know. If you want to find her, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
I frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Alright, then let's do it tomorrow."
Wang Xintong said, "However, Chu Yu also said that if you want to ask for help, you can let my fourth personality come out."
I was taken aback. "A fourth personality? You have a fourth personality?"
Wang Xintong nodded slightly, "I didn't know at first either. She told me that the fourth personality she mentioned is very powerful, and if you need help, you can contact her."
I nodded. "What's your fourth personality called?"
“Xiao Xiao,” Wang Xintong said.
I asked, "Then how can I bring out your fourth personality?"
Wang Xintong didn't say a word, and simply closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, her entire demeanor was completely different.
If Wang Xintong's temperament is gentle and weak, and Chu Yu's personality is wise, then the person in front of us is calm, absolutely calm, and his eyes are utterly cold.
"Xiao Xiao?" I asked, puzzled.
Xiao Xiao raised her head, her cold eyes fixed on me, and asked, "You are Lu Xiaonan?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, I am Lu Xiaonan."
Xiao Xiao nodded. "Chu Yu has already told me about your situation. Now, tell me, what can I do to help you?"
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know what you can do..."
Xiao Xiao said, "Oh, I see. Then tell me what you want to do."
I said, "Right now, I mainly want to go to the southeastern part of the neighborhood to see what's going on inside. I want to know if Sister Jing and Fei Lichao are inside. I'm afraid they're dead now and have turned into zombies."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I understand, you want to find these two people, right? Okay, do you have photos of them? Can I see them?"
"I have the photos." I took my phone out of my pocket, turned on the screen, went into the photo album, took a picture of a group photo, and showed it to her what Fei Lichao and Sister Jing looked like in it.
After reading it, Xiao Xiao asked, "Where is the Southeast Residential Area?"
I pointed to the southeast residential area behind us, and Xiao Xiao immediately ran in that direction after seeing it.
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what she meant, chased after her and grabbed her, asking, "Hey, don't tell me you want to go straight over there! That area is full of zombies, you know that's suicide!"
Xiao Xiao looked at me calmly and said something that surprised me: "I'm not afraid of zombies, so you don't need to worry about me."
She shook off my hand and ran straight into the zombie horde. Just as Du Xu and I were worried, Xiao Xiao had already run past the zombies, and the zombies seemed not to see her or notice her. Just like Lu Yun, she ran into the zombie horde!
Du Xu and I stared wide-eyed at the scene before us, feeling that it was all a bit unreal.
