Ten minutes later, the family of three took the pistol I gave them and left.
More than half an hour later, Lu Yun finally ran out of the town, carrying two red baskets filled with food and drink. Several zombies followed behind her.
"Quick, quick, help me carry this, it's so heavy!" Lu Yun hurriedly shouted.
I opened the trunk and helped her put the two baskets she was carrying into it. The baskets were indeed quite heavy and filled with food, and both baskets contained a lot of drinks and bottled water.
Seeing her panting as she carried it over, I smiled and asked, "Why didn't you bring a stroller?"
Lu Yun shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I would love to! But where would a small supermarket get a shopping cart?"
I raised an eyebrow and thought about it. It makes sense. Small supermarkets usually only have baskets, and some small shops don't even have baskets.
The zombies following her weren't much of a threat, and I was too lazy to kill them. After getting in the car, I stepped on the gas and sped away, leaving the two zombies that had caught up with me far behind.
Back at Jingjie's place, I put Fei Lichao on an IV drip. His forehead temperature was much lower than before, so it seemed that the medicine he had taken was effective.
Whether he will get better or not remains to be seen; he probably won't wake up today.
"Xiaonan, come over for lunch," Sister Jing called from outside.
"I'm here," I said, leaving Fei Lichao's room and sitting down at the table outside.
It's already 1 p.m.
Before that, Du Xu, Lu Yun, and I had been searching for Sister Jing's whereabouts since this morning, so we hadn't eaten much, and now we were starving.
Jingjie's condition isn't much better either. She's been worried about Fei Lichao's condition these past two days, and she's lost a lot of weight.
The four of us sat on one side of the table, which was covered with a lot of food, mostly snacks, bread, drinks, and things like chocolate, beef cubes, and shredded squid.
In the past, no one would have eaten these things as a meal, but nowadays, everyone considers them a delicacy.
Du Xu grabbed a can of cola, broke it open, and then...
Pfft!
The violently shaken cola sprayed out instantly, covering his face.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
We found it hilarious watching from the sidelines.
Jingjie smiled and pulled out two tissues from the side for him, "Here, wipe yourself off, how could you be so careless?"
Du Xu wiped the cola off his face, then looked at me and complained, "This cola is way too fizzy! Did you rock your way back home?"
I raised an eyebrow. "It has nothing to do with me. You're just unlucky."
"Hmph." Du Xu picked up the cola and took a big gulp.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Fei Lichao woke up once, but his expression was very blurry, and he mumbled a few words, it was impossible to tell what he was saying. He fell asleep again after a short while.
His fever has subsided, his body temperature has returned to normal, and his condition is improving.
However, we didn't plan to take him back now. Although his fever had subsided, he was still very weak. So we all planned to stay here tonight. Du Xu had no objections and didn't think it mattered.
Anyway, the Jiajiang matter is over now, and the remaining people in Biyuan are being kept in check by Jiangbei, so it has nothing to do with the school.
In the evening, the sun sets in the west.
Jing and I were taking a walk downstairs.
"Has Jiajiang truly returned to calm now?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, things have completely calmed down. Li Shujiang of Biyuan is dead. As for the remaining people in Biyuan, Su Mu will definitely have a way to control them. It has nothing to do with the school anymore."
Jingjie said, "So, does that mean we can live peacefully at school now?"
I laughed and said, "Okay, it's fine now, just like before, no need to worry about anything anymore."
Sister Jing laughed happily, "That's great! At least I don't have to live in fear every day anymore. Xiaonan, you don't know, ever since the Biyuan incident, I've been thinking about whether I'll die by their guns one day. Now it's all good, I don't have to worry about anything anymore."
I said, "Yes, there's no need to worry anymore."
I don't know how to think about the future. Since experiencing all of this, I no longer dare to have any illusions or expectations about the future.
I just want to live each day to the fullest.
It's better to be realistic. Thinking too much can easily lead you into a vicious cycle of fantasy, which isn't good for you. I used to think too much and do too little, so I was always timid and hesitant. I can't be like that anymore.
Jing patted my shoulder and said, "Xiaonan, I haven't thanked you yet!"
I shook my head and said, "No need, Sister Jing, we're family. There's no need for family members to say thank you."
Jing smiled at me, tears welling in her eyes, "This is the last time. We'll never have to say these kinds of things to each other again."
"Okay." I gave a wry smile.
"Thanks."
Sister Jing's "thank you" left me speechless.
...
The following morning, around nine o'clock, Fei Lichao woke up.
This time when he woke up, he was fully awake. Although he was still very weak, at least he was conscious.
"Can you hear me?" I asked.
Fei Lichao nodded slightly, wanting to speak, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
I said, "Don't speak yet. You're still weak. You lost a lot of blood and are still recovering. Take it slow and don't rush."
Fei Lichao nodded again, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
I put him back on an IV drip and let him continue to rest in the room.
After they came out, Du Xu said, "Judging from his condition, he probably won't be able to leave today. Why don't we stay another day? We still have food."
Indeed, Fei Lichao's current condition is not suitable for traveling; let's wait until he is fully awake before proceeding.
I said, "Okay, let's leave tomorrow."
So we stayed here for another day.
Du Xu ran out of cigarettes last night, so he went out alone to find some.
It took me all morning to get back.
When he came back, he was still grumbling and very unhappy.
...
On the morning of the third day, Fei Lichao's condition improved, and he fully regained consciousness. Although his voice was hoarse, at least he was fine.
He has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and it will take at least half a month for him to fully recover.
Around 1 p.m., we got on the bus and set off back to school.
