Around 11:30 p.m., I had only walked half the distance.
I expect to get back to the research institute at least at 3 a.m.
My mind is very excited right now, and I'm not sleepy at all, so I don't feel tired. Plus, there are no cars or zombies on the road right now, so it's very safe to travel. I don't have to worry about getting into a car accident at all.
I turned on my high beams, so I could see everything ahead very clearly.
However, at that moment, I saw a car blocking the middle of the road ahead, as if it wanted to block my way.
I was a little confused. Could it be that there were still looters out doing business in the middle of the night?
That shouldn't be the case, right?
I glanced at the pistol in the passenger seat, slowed down, checked it, and then, with the pistol in hand, stopped the car when it was still about ten meters away from the vehicle in front of me.
I didn't get out of the car. Luckily, I had my high beams on, so I could see clearly what was happening inside the other car.
Strangely, there was no one in the car, but I didn't dare get out to check, fearing it might be a trap set by someone.
I shifted into gear again and stepped on the gas, trying to go around the car.
But at that very moment, I heard someone say something outside the car door.
"Don't move."
I froze the moment I heard those two words, because my car window was half open, so I could hear the people outside talking very clearly.
I turned my head and saw a dark gun barrel pointed at my head through the car window.
I frowned and was about to step on the gas to leave when, without saying a word, the other person pulled out a gun in his other hand and fired a shot at the hood of the car.
Then, with a few loud bangs, the engine stalled.
I stared wide-eyed, completely dumbfounded.
Is this guy crazy?!
I turned my head, trying to see who was outside, but my car was broken, the headlights were off, and it was dark outside, so I couldn't see who it was at all.
"Get out of the car," the other person said, seemingly without any malice in their tone.
And that voice sounds kind of familiar!
Confused, I had no choice but to get out of the car, since the other party's gun was still pointed at my head. If I didn't get out, they might have opened fire.
After I got out of the car, the other person immediately turned on a flashlight, pointed it at my eyes, and said, "Throw away all the weapons you have on you."
I had no choice but to do as they said, throwing my pistol and knife on the ground.
He pointed the flashlight at my face, making it impossible for me to see anything, and then personally searched my body to make sure I had no other weapons before removing the flashlight from my face.
When he took the flashlight away, the light from the flashlight shone on his face.
I saw his face and froze instantly.
"Zhou, Zhou Liang!"
The person in front of me is Zhou Liang!
I never expected him to be here! And I certainly never expected him to come specifically to ambush me! What does he want? Is he trying to kill me?
But if he wanted to kill me, he would have done it long ago, he wouldn't have waited until now!
No, why am I thinking about this?
I should be wondering why that bastard Zhou Liang is here?
How did he know I would pass through here?
Zhou Liang looked at me calmly and said, "Lu Xiaonan, it's been a long time."
I swallowed hard. I vividly remembered what Zhou Liang had done back then. I saw him kill Yan Zhengfeng clearly. This guy's strength was terrifying. I was no match for him at all. I had no idea what he wanted from me now.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"You seem very nervous?" Zhou Liang asked with a smile.
I swallowed hard, calmed myself down, and asked, "How did you know I'd be here?"
Zhou Liang said, "I came here with you."
I was confused. "What? What do you mean? What do you mean by 'following me'?"
Zhou Liang said, "I was in the central town just now. I saw you come out and then I followed you."
"What did you say? You're in Central Town? You're from Central Town?" I asked in surprise.
Zhou Liang shook his head and said, "No, I was just curious about what Central Town was like, so I came to take a look. I just didn't expect to see you as soon as I arrived, so I followed you. Judging from your appearance, you seem to be a raider?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm not."
"No, then why are you in Central Town? I remember that only raiders and people from Central Town can enter. As for others, they are probably undercover agents. Could it be that you are an undercover agent?"
I frowned and said, "No."
Zhou Liang smiled. "Stop denying it. Your expression already admits it. It seems you really are an undercover agent. But I'm curious, what are you undercover for? Who are you undercover for?"
I said, "Do I need to tell you all this?"
Zhou Liang nodded and said, "It is necessary."
“There’s no need!” I said.
Zhou Liang clicked his tongue twice and said, "I think it's still necessary. Look, your purpose in becoming an undercover agent is definitely to find out everything in Central Town and then report to your people. As for your goal, it's definitely to destroy Central Town or take control of it. Am I right?"
I squinted. Why is this bastard so smart?!
Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhou Liang continued, "Since that's the case, I can tell you a little secret. I spent the whole day in Central Town today, and I found this place to be paradise for me. So I've decided to take over this place and make Central Town my own. So I think you still need to tell me who you're spying for, and tell me what you know. Then I'll let you leave, how about it?"
I stared at him and said, "Do you think I'd tell you?"
Zhou Liang said, "I think you can."
"Sorry, I don't know how."
Zhou Liang raised an eyebrow, not in a hurry, and chatted casually, "Lu Xiaonan, to be honest, back in Jiajiang, I thought you were a good-for-nothing who wouldn't live long, but I never expected you to be alive now. When I saw you in the central town before, I really thought it was a miracle."
"..." I really want to beat him to death.
Zhou Liang said, "However, a piece of trash is a piece of trash. If you don't want to talk about it, I'll have to force you, and it will be very painful. Besides, it won't be worth it, don't you think?"
I closed my eyes, pretended to sigh, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."
Zhou Liang nodded, "Yes, that makes sense. After all, although we have a grudge, I am very interested in Central Town now. So our goals are the same: to control Central Town. If you tell me, it will also benefit my control of Central Town. Then you can explain to the forces behind you."
