Wu Lin thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. He then relaxed his guard and said, "Alright, but Dr. Lu, you mustn't tell anyone that I told you about this, or I'll be in trouble."
I smiled slightly and said, "I understand this. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
Wu Lin nodded hurriedly and said, "That's good."
Immediately, Wu Lin began to explain the cause of the matter.
It turns out that Ye Qian's injury was related to Jiang Bai.
Whenever I think of Jiang Bai, I remember that night in Central Town when I ran into him. I never imagined that this guy would be captured by the people of Central Town the next day and even stuffed into an iron cage for a competition.
Although this guy survived, he's probably still locked up somewhere in Central Town.
I wanted to save him, but I was powerless to do so.
So we can only let him continue to suffer here.
Wu Lin then continued speaking.
Wu Lin said that Ye Qian was injured on the way to the central town. It seems that Jiang Bai's companions came to rescue Jiang Bai, and then they encountered each other, so Ye Qian and Zhang Jianzhou were injured.
As for the people who attacked them, they had long since disappeared without a trace.
However, Ye Qian seemed to know who they were. Wu Lin told me that those people should have come from the north, and the leader seemed to be surnamed Yao, but Wu Lin didn't know the specifics.
This Jiang Bai and that guy surnamed Yao seem to be brothers who grew up together. Since the zombie outbreak, the two have been as close as brothers, fighting their way from the inland to this place, and they even brought a lot of people with them.
Hearing this, I began to have some impression of them.
When I met Jiang Bai that night, Jiang Bai said that he was looking for his lost companions. The two people seemed to be named Lu Changkong and Yao Chengjie. This Yao Chengjie should be the one with the surname Yao that Wu Lin mentioned.
At that time, Jiang Bai told me that there were only three of them and no other companions. It seemed like he was lying to me, but that was normal. I was a stranger to him, so it was understandable that he would lie to me.
After Wu Lin finished speaking, he said, "Dr. Lu, that's all I know. Please don't tell anyone about this."
I laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about these things."
After chatting with Wu Lin for a while, I started to think about it.
"In the north... there's someone surnamed Yao... and this Jiang Bai."
I stood at the corner of the stairs, thinking to myself, "It seems like they are a team, and there seem to be quite a few of them. But why was Jiang Bai kidnapped by the people from Central Town? I guess he was just looking for someone and got caught off guard."
"If possible, perhaps I could make contact with this Jiang Bai and that guy surnamed Yao. But I shouldn't think about that now. If I contact Jiang Bai now and Ye Qian and the others find out, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble."
"I'd better keep a low profile for now and not think about so many things. Jiang Bai's affairs are for that guy surnamed Yao to worry about, it has nothing to do with me. But Jiang Bai mentioned before that besides that guy surnamed Yao, there's another person named Lu Changkong. I don't know who this guy is, but I guess he's probably his friend."
I raised an eyebrow, and just as I was about to go downstairs, Wu Lin suddenly chased after me from behind.
"Dr. Lu, Dr. Lu, wait a moment."
I stopped on the stairs and saw Wu Lin running towards me anxiously. I asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Lin said, "Dr. Zhang is awake."
"He's awake!" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, he's awake!" Wu Lin immediately told me that not long after I left, he heard some noises coming from the infirmary, so he curiously opened the door and saw that Zhang Jianzhou had woken up.
Then he ran over to inform me without saying a word.
"I'll go take a look."
Wu Lin followed behind me. He originally wanted to come in with me, but I decisively shut him out after I went in. After all, Zhang Jianzhou was awake now, and I definitely needed to talk to him about something. It wouldn't be good if he overheard.
So I told him to wait outside.
When I returned to the infirmary, I saw Zhang Jianzhou lying on the hospital bed, his lips dry and his face haggard.
When he saw me come in, he asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
I said, "It's been almost six hours since you had your attack."
Zhang Jianzhou sneered, "Now you believe me, right? You can let me go."
I said, "No rush. You should remember what you said before you went to sleep that confused me, right? You said you knew something, and I'd like to know what you meant by that."
Zhang Jianzhou sneered, "I'll tell you if you give me back the medicine."
I smiled slightly and took out a bottle containing medicine from my pocket. Zhang Jianzhou looked very excited when he saw that I had actually taken out the medicine.
But instead of giving it to him, I opened the bottle, took out a pill, and said with a smile, "You don't have to tell me. I'll give you three seconds to think about it. If you don't want to tell me, I'll just throw this pill on the ground and crush it. What do you think?"
Zhang Jianzhou's excited expression froze instantly, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I'll die if I don't get the medicine!"
Ignoring his fear, I said directly, "One, two..."
Forced into a corner, Zhang Jianzhou said, "Fine, fine, I'll tell you, okay? Can you put the medicine down first?"
I laughed and said, "Go ahead and tell me, and I'll put the medicine in the bottle after you're done."
Zhang Jianzhou looked annoyed, but I don't know what he was annoyed about. I guess he was annoyed that he had threatened me earlier.
“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Zhang Jianzhou looked at me helplessly, with a hint of anger in his eyes. He said, “What I wanted to say before was actually related to your friend. Do you remember Pu Weichao?”
The moment I heard that name, I froze, then frowned.
Zhang Jianzhou said, "He is still alive."
"And then?" I asked, frowning.
Zhang Jianzhou said, "When I was still in that research institute, he came with a guy named Zhou Liang and his girlfriend. At that time, Zhou Liang and his girlfriend had already been bitten by zombies. The people in the research institute rescued them, but unfortunately, his girlfriend was too late and had already suffered brain death, so there was nothing they could do. It was Zhou Liang who survived."
Hearing this, I was utterly shocked.
"Is what you're saying true? So Pu Weichao is still at that research institute?"
Zhang Jianzhou shook his head, "They left before I left the research institute, and I don't know where they are now."
