I looked at the bloodstains on the broken glass, then went to the cabinet and noticed that it was covered in a thick layer of dust, but there were a few small areas that were quite clean.
This indicates that the items on the cabinet were removed not long ago.
After looking around and finding no other important clues, I decided to go out.
Just then, Lu Yun ran over and, seeing me, asked, "My sister isn't here! What do we do?"
I said, "Your sister is definitely not here, but I have a clue."
"A clue? What clue?" Lu Yun asked in surprise.
I pointed to the broken glass on the cabinet next to me and said, "There's blood on that glass, which is very likely left by your sister. Also, a lot of things are missing from this cabinet, which is also very likely taken by your sister."
Lu Yun entered the pharmacy and was somewhat surprised to see the bloodstains on the glass cabinet.
"Then that means my sister might have been here!"
I nodded and said, "That's possible, but even if she's been here, we're not sure where they are now. Let's go out first, and we'll discuss it properly once we get back in the car."
We left the clinic and went outside, where we saw Du Xu killing zombies. I shouted, got back into the car, and drove away.
"How's your search going?" Du Xu asked.
I said, "We have some clues. We can basically confirm that it's in the vicinity of here, but we don't know the exact location."
Leaving the town, we returned to the road we had originally taken.
Du Xu suddenly said, "Oh right, there's something I was about to tell you, but I forgot."
"What is it?" I asked.
Du Xu said, "It was bleeding! Didn't that woman say that Fei Lichao's hand was broken, and it was still bleeding when she saw it? I even checked the ground earlier, and there were indeed bloodstains. I was going to suggest we follow the bloodstains, but I forgot about it after we set off."
I was stunned.
Yes! Bloodstains!
Oh my god, I completely forgot about something so important!
Sigh, there's nothing we can do. We were too focused on Sister Jing and Fei Lichao themselves, and we overlooked the clues that were right under our noses. We were completely blind to what was right in front of us!
Fortunately, Du Xu mentioned it, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to find it.
I nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, you're right, bloodstains! Fei Lichao's hand is broken and it's been bleeding, there must be bloodstains! Let's go back now and look for the bloodstains!"
"I'll go up and take a look!" Lu Yun said from the back seat, and climbed out of the sunroof again.
We retraced our steps, searching for traces of blood along the way.
However, we didn't find any bloodstains along the way.
This is a bit strange to us.
However, the situation is not static.
Just as we were about to return to the construction site, we saw bloodstains on the road!
The bloodstains were very faint and dark; if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even know they were bloodstains. Lu Yun was the one who first discovered them. When she found them, she thought she was seeing something else, until I looked closer and realized it was blood.
The bloodstains were minimal, extending only to this side of the road before disappearing into the grass.
So we had no choice but to drive into the grass and follow the trail of blood. Fortunately, the grass was relatively flat and not undulating. Before long, we were back on a road, and then the trail of blood led directly into a detached building ahead.
I parked my car about ten meters away from the building, then got out and looked at the building in front of me.
Lu Yun's upper body was still outside the sunroof when she said, "Is my sister here?"
This time, she was so excited that she jumped out of the car window, then jumped out of the car and ran straight towards the building in front.
I was a little worried, so I followed them.
Upon entering the building, I saw that the bloodstains on the floor extended directly into the kitchen.
After Lu Yun entered, she kept calling "Sister—" but there was no response from anyone in the entire building.
I followed the trail of blood to the kitchen and saw the situation there. The stove showed signs of use, and a blood-stained knife lay on the floor.
I picked up the knife, looked at the slightly blackened bloodstains on it, and understood what Sister Jing had done.
Not long after, Lu Yun, who had run upstairs to look for someone, found nothing and returned downstairs.
"My sister isn't here!" Lu Yun said to me with a bitter face.
I nodded and said, "Let's go further south and take a look. At least we know they've been here, and your sister treated Fei Lichao's wound here. Let's look further south. Didn't we see traces at the township clinic before? Maybe they're nearby."
"Okay, let's go now!" Lu Yun said, running back to the car.
I got back into the car and continued south.
It's quite a distance from the township clinic.
If Sister Jing appeared at the township clinic, then she and Fei Lichao must have already arrived in that vicinity.
As I drove, I said, "I reckon that after Sister Jing treated Fei Lichao's wounds here, they left decisively to avoid being chased. As for what happened later, Fei Lichao must have succumbed to blood loss, and Sister Jing must have found a very safe place to hide. After treating Fei Lichao, Sister Jing went to the clinic. If we follow this line of thought, we're not far from them."
Lu Yun sat in the back seat, growing increasingly anxious.
To be honest, I'm also very anxious.
Du Xu was helping to keep an eye on the surroundings.
In just over ten minutes, we walked south for quite a while and arrived at an unfamiliar place, which wasn't far from the clinic. Perhaps we could find something if we started our search from here.
To make the search easier, the three of us got out of the car. I said, "Let's split up and search separately. We'll meet back here in an hour."
Lu Yun and Du Xu had no objections to this.
I searched to the east, Du Xu continued south, and Lu Yun went west.
Because this area is within the scope of the new rural reconstruction, as soon as I arrived, I saw a large number of newly built five-story buildings. However, the construction here did not seem to be fully completed, so no one had moved in, and there were not many people here, so there were no zombies.
This place is a very good place to settle down.
I glanced at the neighborhood in front of me, unsure of where to begin my search. Since there were no zombies around, I decided to start shouting.
"Sister Jing!" I shouted, and because it was quiet around me, my voice carried far.
"Sister Jing...!" I called out again, but before I could finish the sentence...
"Xiaonan!" Sister Jing's voice suddenly came.
