I turned on my flashlight and saw Lu Yun about to go out. I quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't be impulsive."
Lu Yun shook off my hand and said, "I wasn't impulsive! This guy is obviously lying! I have to go and see for myself. I believe my sister is inside!"
To be honest, I didn't really believe what Jin Yuan said, but then I thought, he had no reason to lie to us. Why would he lie under the threat of death? Could it be to mislead us?
But even if you want to mislead people, you don't have to do it this way. If he wanted to live, he could have lied and said they kidnapped someone, and then used us to exchange him for someone else.
But he didn't say that, so I think it's very likely that Sister Jing and Fei Lichao really aren't in the wholesale market.
Just like Jin Yuan said, they had no reason to arrest Sister Jing and Fei Lichao. They had slaughtered the entire Southeast Community, so why would they arrest two more people? Was it a waste of food?
Seeing Lu Yun's anxious expression, I said, "How about this, I'll go in, and you can stand outside and distract them, okay?"
Lu Yun looked at me, puzzled, and asked, "But how will you get out later?"
I shook my head and said, "We can only take it one step at a time. If Jingjie and Fei Lichao are not inside, I will run out directly, and we will meet in the car then."
Lu Yun nodded, not objecting to my plan. "Okay, I understand."
Ten minutes later, we left the house. By then, I had changed my clothes and was wearing the same clothes that Jin Yuan had been wearing. I also took his gun.
It was pitch black, and there was only one bright spot in the entire wholesale market.
Lu Yun and I stood at the back of the wholesale market.
Lu Yun said, "I'll go ahead and distract them. Be careful when you go in."
"Um."
Lu Yun turned and left. She wasn't afraid of zombies, so she didn't need to worry about how many zombies she encountered.
I took a deep breath and didn't rush in. Instead, I stood by the back door and stared intently at the inside, but because it was so dark there, I couldn't see anything.
I waited there for ten minutes, estimating that Lu Yun had almost reached the side of the wholesale market, so I stepped inside.
I didn't get too close. After sneaking in, I hid in the shadows and cautiously approached. After a while, I saw someone coming from ahead.
So I quickly found a secluded spot to hide, so they wouldn't see me.
I looked around and saw that since it had only been a short time since it got dark, almost everyone around me was awake and no one was sleeping.
I looked around and thought about it. If Sister Jing and Fei Lichao had really been arrested by them, they would definitely be kept nearby and being watched. It was impossible for them to just ignore them.
"Should we grab someone and ask them?" I hesitated for a moment.
"Let's wait a bit. Lu Yun shouldn't be up there yet. I'll make my move after she makes a scene." After confirming this, I continued to hide and didn't move.
I waited there for about ten minutes. The area with the firelight became increasingly noisy. They seemed to be playing cards or something, and were having a great time.
The people patrolling the area were constantly on patrol. The place where I was hiding was a small hut, and I observed the situation outside through the crack in the door.
Thump thump thump—
Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from the front of the wholesale market; it was the sound of iron rods being struck.
"Was that sound made by Lu Yun?" I paused, then continued to wait.
Lu Yun's commotion must have attracted a lot of zombies; it seems she really wants to cause them some trouble.
Two minutes later, someone shouted from ahead.
"Boss, there are a lot of zombies outside!"
"Zombies! Where did these zombies come from? Weren't all the zombies here cleared out?!"
"I don't know, there are a lot of them outside the gate, boss, should we just take care of them?"
"Everyone grab your weapons and go check it out."
After the boss's voice came, I also came out of the door and went outside.
At this moment, many of the patrolmen ran towards the front door, all wanting to see what was happening outside. As a result, the brightly lit house suddenly became deserted.
I quickly ran over slowly to the side and followed at the back of the crowd to get here. I looked around but didn't see Sister Jing or Fei Lichao. Because there were no small rooms around, you could see everything at a glance.
I frowned. Could it be that what Jin Yuan said was true?
Did they really not catch Sister Jing and Fei Lichao?
"Who are you!"
Suddenly, just as I was searching, someone appeared beside me, startling me.
I turned my head and looked at the stranger in front of me. In his surprised eyes, I decisively struck and landed a punch on his nose.
He was completely stunned by my attack.
Immediately, I grabbed him by the neck and asked, "Tell me, where are the people you captured!"
The guy started to fight back, striking me in the abdomen with his elbow, and I immediately let go of his neck.
After he broke free from my control, he turned around and kicked me while coughing.
Caught off guard, I rolled twice on the ground, and then a gunshot rang out. I looked up and saw that the other person was pointing a gun at me.
I stared wide-eyed, picked up the pistol beside me, and fired a shot into his thigh.
Bang!
"ah!"
Gunshots rang out, and the other person screamed and fell to the ground.
I promptly crawled over, kicked the pistol out of his hand, then pressed the muzzle against his head and roared, "Tell me! Where are the people you captured!"
The guy grimaced in pain and yelled, "You bastard, who are you?! What do you want here?!"
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this. Sure enough, they didn't arrest anyone!
"Hey! What are you doing!" Just then, the person outside suddenly returned.
The moment I saw them, without thinking, I grabbed the pistol in my hand and fired a few shots at them.
Then I ran away decisively.
At that moment, gunshots and shouts came from behind.
"Don't let him get away, catch him!"
I gritted my teeth and decisively ran out of the wholesale market. Gunshots kept coming from behind me. I kept maneuvering forward, and occasionally I would fire a couple of shots behind me.
Before long, I arrived at the outskirts of the wholesale market.
The outside was deserted, and for a moment I didn't know where to run.
Just then, I heard the sound of a car engine, and a car with its headlights on suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Get in the car!" Lu Yun called out from the driver's seat.
I promptly opened the back seat and ran up. Before the door was even closed, Lu Yun stepped on the gas and drove off. I hadn't even settled in properly when I was almost thrown off.
Gunshots rang out from behind, and the rear window shattered, revealing a bullet hole.
Fortunately, Lu Yun drove fast, and the gunshots behind her gradually faded away.
