We were forced outside and had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After arriving at the parking lot, Zhou Qingya and the others got into the car, but I didn't.
Zhou Qingya asked in confusion, "Why aren't you getting in the car?"
I frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome. I can't leave Su Mu and the others inside. I have to find a way to get them out, otherwise, if something happens, we're doomed."
Su Mu and Du Xu are now important figures in Jiajiang. If something happens to them, Jiajiang will truly be leaderless.
I said, "You guys should leave now. I'll go back to the central town first. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll go there with the people from the central town tomorrow."
"Is this really a good idea? What if something goes wrong?" Zhou Qingya asked worriedly.
I said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen unless there's another group of people in the central town besides Ye Cheng and his group."
Zhou Qingya said worriedly, "But..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You guys should leave now."
Song Muyuan drove Zhou Qingya and the little girl away. I didn't linger in the parking lot, but instead went back to the entrance of the central town.
Ye Cheng didn't leave through the entrance of the central town. When he saw me return, he asked in confusion, "Why didn't you leave?"
I said, "I've already told them to go ahead. I was planning to stay in central town tonight anyway."
Ye Cheng, seeing that I hadn't thought much of it, said, "You're just making things worse."
After he let me into the town center, he said, "If you don't want anything to happen, don't wander around. Who knows what kind of outrageous things those people might do."
"With so many people, how do you plan to screen them?"
Ye Cheng said, "You don't need to worry about that. I have my own way of doing it."
After Ye Cheng left, I didn't keep up with him.
It's a miracle that these three guys, who suddenly appeared in the central town, haven't been discovered yet, because I'm looking for Su Mu and the others.
Since Yao Chengjie rescued Jiang Bai in the central town last time, the security in the entire central town is completely different from before. From the moment you enter, someone is making records. It is basically clear who you are and how many people are in the central town.
Moreover, with the entire central town under lockdown, escaping midway was completely impossible.
So figuring out how to get these three guys out is really giving me a headache.
I searched for more than ten minutes in the central town and finally found the three guys. They were actually in the deepest part of the central town.
They were leaning against the wall, staring at the building at the far end.
My appearance startled the three of them.
Du Xu said, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"
"Nonsense, if I leave, who will help you get out?"
"How can you help us?" Zhong Jianzhou asked.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Let's take it one step at a time. The main gate is closed now, so there's no way to get out from there."
Su Mu said, "We definitely can't get out through the main gate, but we can go out from the other side."
The direction Su Mu pointed was none other than the building deepest inside the central town.
I was speechless. I knew what they were thinking: they wanted to get into the building, climb out the window, and leave town from the back. But what they didn't know was that behind the building was still part of town, just their private area, unrelated to the outside.
Only those who join the central town can get there.
I said, "You don't need to think about it, it's impossible to get out of that building."
How did you know?
I rolled my eyes. "Duh."
Zhong Jianzhou said, "If we can't go that way, and we can't get out through the main gate either, won't we be trapped here and die?"
I said, "There's no other way. We can only hide for now and let you leave after this turmoil has passed."
If Ye Cheng is indeed looking for Su Mu and the others, then as long as Su Mu and the others hide and Ye Cheng can't find them, there won't be any problem, and the crisis in the central town will naturally be resolved.
Of course, what I hope for most is that Ye Cheng isn't looking for them. If there are other outsiders in the central town, then Su Mu and his group will be safe.
"But where can we hide?" Du Xu asked.
I said, "Bars are the safest places, the more dangerous they are, because there are a lot of people there."
I led the three of them back into the bar, found a corner to sit down, and then I got a few bottles of alcohol. We all drank our sorrows away together.
Since Ye Cheng wouldn't be able to find this place anyway, I asked, "Why did the three of you come here?"
Su Mu took a sip of wine and said, "What else could it be? Didn't we say before that we were just testing the waters?"
I said, "I don't think I told you the exact location of Central Town, did I? Where did you get the information that Central Town is here?"
Du Xu said, "The raiders had been testing us before. After we captured someone and learned about their situation, we found out about this place. Then, after you came and talked to Su Mu last time, he decided to come here, so we followed."
I sighed helplessly and said, "Su Mu, I don't care if I get involved in Jiajiang's affairs, but can you discuss things here with me before making a decision? You know that such reckless and impulsive actions can easily lead to trouble! Like now, you're trapped here and can't go anywhere. What do you suggest we do?"
Su Mu didn't take it seriously, thinking I was making a mountain out of a molehill, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? They definitely haven't found us yet. We'll just leave when things are over."
I have no ideas.
And so, I stayed with the three of them in the bar and continued to wait.
Ye Cheng did not spread the news, but instead searched for it in secret.
The gates to the central town have been completely closed, allowing entry but not exit, so many people in the town are beginning to wonder what has happened.
Ye Cheng was not at the bar, and no one knew what he was doing.
The bottle of beer was empty; one bottle of beer was certainly not enough to get you drunk.
Everyone was silent, because they were all worried.
Su Mu said he didn't care, but his face betrayed his panic.
However, just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the bar.
"Grab him! Grab him quickly, don't let him get away!" The voice belonged to none other than Ye Cheng.
I don't know what happened, but it seems like something did happen.
I said, "Don't wander around here, I'll go take a look."
After I finished speaking, I ran outside the bar and into the crowd. I saw Ye Cheng and his group grabbing three people. Could these three people be outsiders?
