The others in the room were shocked by what they saw.
They could never have imagined that Zhou Qingya, who was usually aloof and wise, would turn into this, with tears streaming down her face, looking so pitiful.
To be honest, I didn't expect her reaction to be so strong.
Zhou Qingya hugged me and started crying, and the guy who had been pointing a gun at me put it down.
I reached out and hugged Zhou Qingya, saying, "Aren't you surprised?"
"Yes!" Zhou Qingya nodded, still crying.
A few minutes later, Zhou Qingya's crying gradually subsided. I didn't say anything to comfort her. After she let go of me, she wiped away her tears and still looked at me in surprise.
"Are you serious?" she asked, a little worried.
I laughed and said, "Don't worry, I really mean it."
She looked at me with a puzzled expression. "Then, how did you end up here?"
I said, "Let's not talk about that for now. I didn't come alone. Jingjie and Li Jiaming came with me. I was just tied up by your people. I don't know how they are now. Please have your people release them."
"Li Jiaming! Why did you come with this bastard?" Zhou Qingya frowned.
I said, "Regardless of whether he's a jerk or not, I wouldn't have been able to find you if it weren't for him. So, let's let him go for now. As for what's between you and him, we'll talk about that later."
After hearing what I said, Zhou Qingya immediately asked the others, "Who said you captured some people? Release them right now!"
The person who had previously said they were making arrests then said, "But the people we arrested were raiders, not..."
Before he could finish speaking, I said, "I am the raider you're talking about, but I can tell you that we are not raiders, so please release my men. I don't want anything to happen to them."
Zhou Qingya looked at the man and said, "Go and bring them here quickly!"
"Understood." The other person nodded, glanced at me, and then left.
Zhou Qingya's eyes were still very red. She looked at the other people and introduced me to them one by one, and then introduced me to them as well.
Zhou Qingya asked, "What's this about the raiders they were talking about? How did you get involved with them?"
When I heard this, I glanced at them and wondered if they didn't know what the raiders were.
I asked, "Don't you know where the raiders came from?"
Zhou Qingya asked in confusion, "Isn't it a group? They've always made a living by robbing; that's what the raiders we caught before said."
Hearing this, I was puzzled. How could they know so little? Could it be that the raiders were deliberately misleading us?
I said, "That's not the case. The Raiders aren't actually a team, but rather many separate squads that don't know each other. They're called Raiders because they take what they steal to a place called Central Town to exchange for standard firearms. That's why they're called Raiders."
"And what about you? Why do you have those guns? Did you also go to trade for them?" someone asked.
I said, "My guns weren't obtained through trading; they were stolen from someone else."
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the armed group that suddenly appeared when I was still in Jiajiang City. Could they be the raiders?
That's very possible! They were just unlucky; I tricked them.
Zhou Qingya asked, "Are you still in Jiajiang?"
I shook my head and said, "We've already left Jiajiang and are now living in Mingzhu City."
Zhou Qingya asked, "Then, how many of us will still be alive?"
I said, "Besides you, the only people I have around me are Sister Jing, Fei Lichao, and Li Jiaming. As for Chen Yunlan and Li Qiming, they are all dead."
Zhou Qingya's expression was somewhat gloomy.
I said, "Let's put that aside for now. I overheard you saying outside that the little girl is dead? What happened? Is this little girl Zhong Linyun?"
Zhou Qingya nodded and said, "Yes, it's her, but we don't know what exactly happened."
I frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? How could the little girl be in danger? How could you let her go out when she's so young!"
Zhou Qingya said, "Xiaonan, you don't know, that little girl has a special ability. She's not afraid of zombies and can move freely through hordes of them, so..."
I frowned, shocked. This little girl wasn't afraid of Zombie Day. How come we didn't know that before?
Looking back, I realized that we had always protected the little girl and never let her come into contact with zombies, so it was impossible for her to know.
Later, after she was captured by Zhou Liang, she escaped with Zhou Qingya, presumably because of this ability.
Without thinking much of it, I asked, "And then, what happened to her? Did she really die?"
Zhou Qingya shook her head and said, "I don't know. This happened this morning. We were planning to take everything from the warehouse in the south, but we were ambushed. Then the little girl lured the zombies over. We thought we could retreat safely, but the little girl was shot at that time."
"Didn't you go to rescue them?" I asked.
Zhou Qingya said, "How can we save her? She's surrounded by zombies, and none of us can get past her. Besides, they were pressing us hard, so we had no choice but to retreat."
Were you shot? If it wasn't a vital area, you should be fine, but if you don't receive treatment, you'll definitely die!
I said, "Where did this girl get into trouble? I need to find her!"
Zhou Qingya said, "But they've laid an ambush over there, so we can't get there!"
I frowned and said, "I finally found you, I can't wait here for the little girl to die! I believe she's still alive, I have to save her!"
"But……"
"There are no 'buts'! Even if it means killing countless people, I will save her!" I said. "Zhou Qingya, I don't want to see any of you get hurt. Enough has already died. This little girl absolutely cannot die today!"

Recorder Diary 20:
"Today is December 22nd. Something terrible has happened. Lin Zijie and Shou Tianfeng have been infected with the Erin virus. Their condition is unknown, the experiment has been forced to stop, and they have both been locked up in isolation. The entire research institute is now completely sealed off. They suspect that the virus is airborne, so everyone in the institute could be infected. The whole institute is in chaos, but the higher-ups are forcing us to continue our research and produce results, otherwise everything will be over. I don't know what to do. I can only wait here and see what happens. I hope I don't get infected."
