I followed Wang Xintong to Teacher Li's dormitory. When I came in, I saw Teacher Li lying on the bed, probably still feeling dizzy.
“Teacher Li, I’ve brought Brother Lu with me,” Wang Xintong said.
Ms. Li, who was lying on the bed, sat up with weak eyes. After glancing at me, she reached out her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Li Jingwen. Thank you for saving me before."
I reached out and shook her hand, then shook my head and said, "You don't need to thank me. I bumped into you just now. I'm sorry."
At this moment, Li Jingwen had washed her face and changed into clean clothes. She looked to be in her early thirties.
I asked, "I just heard Xintong say that you know about the Southeast Residential Area?"
Li Jingwen nodded and said, "I know a little. I happened to be nearby when the incident happened there last night."
I said, "Could you tell me more about it? This is very important to me because many of my friends live in this southeastern community."
Li Jingwen nodded and said, "Actually, I didn't see it very clearly last night either, so I can only tell you what I saw."
"Um."
I didn't expect her to know much anyway; I just wanted her to tell me what she knew. As for what happens next, we'll just have to see how things go. Right now, my biggest hope is that Sister Jing and Fei Lichao are alright. Even if they escaped, I really hope nothing bad happens to them!
After thinking for a moment, Li Jingwen began to speak: "Last night, around nine o'clock, I was sleeping in a large building near this Southeast Community when I heard gunshots coming from that direction, a lot of gunshots, as well as screams and cries for help."
"Later I got up and went to check, and found that there were flames shooting up in the southeast residential area, and there were also grenade explosions. Then, I saw a group of fully armed people appear outside the southeast residential area and keep killing people. Anyway, the people in the residential area died very quickly."
Fully armed people?
I asked, "Did you get a good look at what those fully armed people looked like?"
Li Jingwen frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I remember they were all wearing black clothes, like combat uniforms."
Black combat uniform?
If that's the case, this group of people shouldn't be from Biyuan. I've met Biyuan people several times before, and although they have weapons, they never wear combat uniforms.
"Anything else? Did you see anything else? Did anyone escape from the southeastern part of the residential area?"
Li Jingwen thought carefully for a moment and said, "I don't remember. It was nighttime, and the distance was a bit far, so I couldn't see very clearly. I only saw that many people were dead. As for what happened after the Southeast Community was wiped out by that group of people, they just left."
"They're gone! Which way did they go?" I asked.
Li Jingwen said, "They went east, but I don't know exactly where they went."
"Eastward?" I nodded. Although I wasn't entirely clear on the situation, at least I had a direction now. I then asked, "Besides this, do you remember anything else?"
"Let me think, my head hurts a lot right now," Li Jingwen said, rubbing her head. After a moment, she said, "Oh, I remember now, I think I saw someone run out."
"Male or female?" I asked.
Li Jingwen said, "It was a woman, and this woman was very strange. At first, I saw her run directly into the zombie horde, and I thought she wanted to commit suicide. But then I found out that this woman could move freely in the zombie horde, and then she ran away not long after."
Hearing this, I became excited.
Li Jingwen was referring to none other than Lu Yun; she was probably the only one with the ability to escape.
"Anyone else? Did anyone else escape?"
Li Jingwen shook her head and said, "I didn't see anyone else. Things happened too fast. I only watched for a short time before everyone in the Southeast Residential Area was dead, and those people all left. As for whether anyone else escaped, I really don't know."
I nodded and said, "Okay, that's all for now. Anyway, thank you. If you remember anything useful, please let me know as soon as possible."
Li Jingwen nodded and said, "I will, but I have already told you everything I saw. As for other things, I really don't know."
I said, "It's alright, I'm already very grateful that you could give me these clues. Thank you."
Li Jingwen didn't say much, but for me right now, any clue is crucial.
At least I know that Lu Yun escaped, and the group that attacked the southeast residential area headed east.
Having found a clue, I naturally couldn't just sit here and wait to die.
It's already past 5 p.m., and it will get dark around 7 p.m. Although it's a bit late, I can't give up on this time.
After discussing it with Du Xu, I set off alone again.
Du Xu wanted to come with me, but I refused.
The school still needs him to stay, and this matter is my own business and has nothing to do with him.
After leaving the school, I decisively drove towards the southeast residential area.
...
Around 6 p.m., I returned to the Southeast Residential Area and stayed there for only a few minutes before heading east.
If this is a newly emerged team, then Southeast Community must have been in contact with them before. I estimate that a conflict arose between Southeast Community and this team during the contact process, which led to this incident.
As for where this team will go after wiping out the Southeast Community, no one can say for sure.
If they're heading east, are they really heading east? Perhaps they'll head north after a while?
But there was no other way; I had to keep searching.
They hadn't been driving long when night was about to fall.
Just then, I heard a series of roars coming from around the corner ahead. Curious, I stopped the car at the intersection. Besides the roars, I also heard a familiar voice coming from among the zombie horde.
Knock knock knock knock! That sound! I know who it is without even thinking!
Before long, a large group of zombies suddenly appeared from the intersection ahead and walked past my car.
Seeing such a large group of zombies, I quickly turned off the car to avoid attracting them.
Thump, thump, thump! The sound of the iron bar striking continued. I quickly opened the sunroof of the car, climbed out, and shouted towards the horde of zombies, "Lu Yun!"
Suddenly, all the zombies in front of me turned around and came towards me.
A moment later, Lu Yun, who was hiding among the zombies, came into my sight. She was very surprised when she saw me.
"Lu Xiaonan!"
