I felt a bit indigestion after leaving Zhang Jianzhou's room.
But now at least we know Lu Changkong is still alive. As for whether to tell Yao Chengjie this news, we'll have to wait and see. Telling him now is definitely not a wise choice; it wouldn't be good if he did something impulsive.
Okay, let's not tell Yao Chengjie yet.
Moreover, this matter is related to that research institute, so we need to be careful.
It's almost the end of October now, and the weather is getting cooler.
By November, it will be around the end of autumn and the beginning of winter.
You'll need to wear more clothes then, otherwise you might catch a cold.
I stopped thinking about Zhang Jianzhou; his situation was complicated. I needed him because of the central town, and I also needed him to stay alive because of the situation at another research institute. And I needed Yao Chengjie to stay alive even more.
This guy has a lot of connections.
But none of that matters. As long as he's in my hands, everything will be fine.
As long as he doesn't leave the research institute, its safety can still be guaranteed.
However, not everything can be fully predicted.
Just like the day the central town conference started at the end of October, people from central town came.
Their arrival caught me a little off guard.
I didn't expect them to suddenly appear outside the research institute. Since the last time I went to the Central Town Conference, I had no plans to go again. If I were to go again this time, I would send Song Muyuan and the others along, and have Fang Yuan go find his enemies. As for myself, I don't want to go.
But to my surprise, the people from the central town came directly to inform me that I should go to the central town tomorrow to help with medical treatment.
Later, I asked Zhong Jianzhou and learned that in addition to trading, medical services were also available during the trade fair in the central town. Last month, Zhong Jianzhou was injured and therefore unable to make house calls.
It has to come out this month, otherwise the members of the raider team will probably start to get upset.
Zhang Jianzhou told me, "You can't avoid this, so the only way is to come with me. Anyway, the bruises on my face have gone down, and as long as I'm careful, they shouldn't be able to tell."
I said, "But what if you try to sabotage me? This kind of thing has happened before."
Zhang Jianzhou knew I was referring to what happened in Yuelin Town. That incident was very unpleasant; if I hadn't dug through the wall to escape, I probably would have starved to death inside.
Zhang Jianzhou said, "I swear to God, I have no intention of rebelling against you right now."
I rolled my eyes and said, "Forget about your oaths. I'm not interested. I'll take you there tomorrow, but if you try to do anything else, or try to tell Ye Qian on me behind my back, I'll definitely kill you."
Zhang Jianzhou swallowed hard, his eyes filled with fear.
I don't know if the fear in his eyes was real or feigned.
I no longer trust anything this guy says; every word he utters could be a lie. Going to the central town tomorrow is a complete gamble; it all depends on how Zhang Jianzhou performs.
Actually, I was very reluctant to bring him along, but if I didn't let him go to the central town meeting, Ye Qian might become suspicious.
So there was no other way but to take him there.
...
The Central Town Conference starts tomorrow morning, so we'll be setting off for Central Town at 6 a.m. on the second day.
Only Zhang Jianzhou and I set off today; I stopped anyone else who wanted to come.
After all, I don't know what will happen if I bring Zhang Jianzhou there today. In case something goes wrong, I should go and see first. If Zhang Jianzhou really causes trouble in the central town and exposes my affairs, then I will be alone in the central town, which will make it easier to escape.
Moreover, once they return, everyone can be evacuated from the research institute immediately.
Of course, this is the last thing I want to see.
Zhang Jianzhou didn't say much the whole way, and I was too lazy to say anything to him either.
Having been to the central town several times before, the journey was relatively safe, as if the zombies had been cleared away along the way.
To be honest, it's almost November now, and I've noticed that there are far fewer zombies in the area. I don't know if it's thanks to those raider squads, but when they come out, most of them will definitely take a detour if they encounter zombies. However, there's always the possibility that some impulsive individuals might just kill all the zombies.
Anything is possible.
Moreover, this is a good thing for ordinary people, since there are fewer zombies outside, making it much easier to find supplies in the future.
The number of zombies roaming outside will definitely decrease as they get more tired.
As long as humanity unites, mindless creatures like zombies will definitely be no match for humans, unless their numbers reach a certain level. Otherwise, 30 zombies don't actually pose much of a threat to humanity.
...
Around 2 p.m., I took Zhang Jianzhou to the outside of the central town.
After parking the car, I didn't get out immediately. Instead, I said, "When we go inside, I hope you can behave yourself as you said you would."
“Yes, I will,” Zhang Jianzhou said.
Immediately, we got off the bus and walked towards the center of the town.
Zhang Jianzhou had been away from the central town for half a month, so when we were queuing at the entrance, the staff at the door happened to see him and hurried over, saying, "Dr. Zhang, you've finally arrived!"
I kept an eye on the staff while also being wary of Zhang Jianzhou.
Zhang Jianzhou nodded and said, "Yes, I just arrived."
The staff member smiled and said, "Dr. Zhang, you don't need to wait in line. Everyone inside is waiting for you to see a doctor. Come with me quickly."
The other party pulled Zhang Jianzhou away, and I quickly followed them.
When the staff saw me following, they quickly stopped me and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhang Jianzhou said, "He came with me; he's also a doctor, and he came to help."
Upon hearing this, the staff member quickly greeted them with a smile, saying, "Oh, you're a doctor too? Then come in with us."
The people queuing around them heard their conversation, so they didn't think much of Zhang Jianzhou and me going in, since some of them might also be there for medical treatment.
Zhang Jianzhou and I followed the staff and went directly into the innermost part of the central town, arriving at a clinic on the ground floor.
Then, as soon as the consultation room door opened and the sign was hung up, someone immediately saw it and ran to the consultation room door, knocked, and asked, "Are you doctors?"
