(Starting from episode 3, there will still be three updates per day today. I hope you will continue to support us.)
Around 2:30 pm, the four of us took a detour and arrived near the air-raid shelter.
The purpose of taking a detour is simple: to avoid the monsters and traffic jams along the way.
However, Gao Feng and his group came by car, and no matter how they tried to avoid it, a group of monsters were following them.
Gao Feng and his group were driving a pickup truck. Li Qiming and I stood in the back of the pickup truck, observing the surrounding situation.
Li Qiming frowned, wary of his surroundings, and whispered to me, "Dr. Lu, are you really going to go with them later?"
I held onto the roof of the car and said, "Hmm, I don't think they're lying to us."
Li Qiming said worriedly, "But what if?"
I chuckled. Ever since what happened with Yan Zhengfeng, I've stopped being afraid of such uncertainties, and I don't know why.
I said, "There's no 'what if'. Even if what this person said is false, I still want to try my luck."
"Why do you trust them so much?"
I shook my head: "I don't believe them, I believe in myself. You saw the camouflage uniform Gao Feng was wearing, didn't you?"
"Hmm." Li Qiming nodded, puzzled.
I explained, "The camouflage uniform he was wearing was exactly the same as the one the captain in the air-raid shelter wore, so I thought I'd go check it out and maybe I'd run into that captain. Besides, Gao Feng said before that they were out looking for someone named Shen Lei. There was also a soldier named Shen Lei in the air-raid shelter. I think with so many coincidences, it can't be a coincidence, right?"
Li Qiming frowned deeply and remained silent.
I continued, "After I go, whether it's confirmed or not, I'll be back tomorrow. If I'm not back by tomorrow..."
Li Qiming patted my shoulder and said, "You'll definitely come back."
I smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Although I've only known Li Qiming for three days, we already trust each other from the bottom of our hearts.
Half an hour later, we stopped at the entrance of the residential area, which was more than 100 meters away from the kindergarten. We originally planned to go directly to the kindergarten, but then we thought that if we drove there, the group of monsters following behind would also follow us to the kindergarten, which would make the kindergarten unsafe.
After careful consideration, I asked Gao Feng and the others to park their car here.
Then we walked there.
However, just as we were about to get off the bus, Li Qiming asked in confusion, "Don't you guys think these monsters are all heading towards the kindergarten?"
At first I didn’t notice, but after he said that, Gao Feng and I took a closer look and our expressions changed.
"It really is!" I exclaimed in surprise.
The road in front of us is a one-way street, and the monsters on the road all came from the direction of the air-raid shelter and are heading towards the kindergarten.
There aren't many monsters on the road, but if you include all the monsters along the entire road, there are at least two or three hundred!
Li Qiming and I exchanged a glance, both of us showing signs of worry.
These monsters are all heading towards the kindergarten. Could something have happened at the kindergarten?
I patted the roof of the pickup truck and said, "Gao Feng, just drive there!"
Despite the rush hour traffic, no one objected. The driver restarted the pickup truck and headed towards the kindergarten.
"I hope nothing bad has happened at the kindergarten?" Li Qiming asked worriedly.
Looking at his worried face, I figured he'd be devastated if something happened at the kindergarten.
"Don't overthink it. We'll find out when we get there. Maybe these monsters aren't even after the kindergarten," I reassured her.
"I hope so." He clenched his fist, looking very worried.
We were only 100 meters away from the kindergarten, and even if we took a detour, it would only be 200 or 300 meters. In less than two minutes, we arrived at the back gate of the kindergarten.
The area around the back door was quiet, with few monsters around.
We pried open the back door lock and filed in, entering the kindergarten.
Li Qiming ran the fastest, bypassing the kitchen in the backyard and arriving at the back of the teaching building.
I followed behind him and saw through the window that all the children in the kindergarten were gathered in the classroom.
Seeing that they were all alright, Li Qiming smiled broadly and went around to the courtyard in front of the teaching building.
"Aww!"
He was startled when he came over.
When Gao Feng and I arrived at the courtyard, we were truly terrified when we saw the state of the kindergarten gate.
"Awooo! Awooo—!"
At this moment, a large number of monsters have gathered outside the kindergarten gate; at least forty can be seen at a glance.
They were all crowding at the entrance, constantly squeezing into the iron gate, which had already knocked both iron gates askew!
The gap in the door has been widened more than three times, and it won't be long before monsters can squeeze through it!
They are currently blocked outside because it is too crowded; the two monsters are squeezed together at the gap and cannot get through for the time being.
However, the situation was not optimistic. One of the monsters had been squeezed out of shape, and its bones were constantly cracking, making a terrifying sound.
Gao Feng spoke first: "We can't stay here! The gate could be broken down at any moment! We must leave!"
Li Qiming was still in shock, so I quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Li Qiming! Stop looking! Let's get people out of here now! Otherwise, once these monsters get in, it'll be hard to leave!"
“Yes.” Li Qiming nodded solemnly.
I went into the classroom with him, while Gao Feng kept an eye on the monsters at the door. He would let us know if there were any problems.
