Chapter 543 Finding Zhang Jianzhou
Zhang Lincai's speculations were all based on his own understanding.
The car didn't go very fast, and Zhang Jianzhou didn't appear in our sight.
We searched for a full half hour, but found nothing.
I was getting a little anxious and asked, "We still haven't found him. Could he have already gone back to the central town? And we just missed him?"
Zhang Lincai shook his head and said, "Impossible. If he had returned to the central town, the people guarding the gate would have notified me immediately. The fact that there is no message on the walkie-talkie means that he has not returned yet."
It's best if he didn't go back. If he really did go back, I'm afraid even Sister Jing and the others wouldn't be able to stop him.
As long as Zhang Jianzhou tells those people at the entrance of the central town about my situation, those gatekeepers will definitely find a way to ensure his safety.
I wonder what Zhou Liang's current situation is. He's been following him secretly. Has he found any trace of Zhou Liang?
Zhang Lincai said, "We've been walking along this route for more than half an hour. I guess he might not take this route for safety reasons. Let's try another route and look again."
"Hmm, let's try another route."
That makes sense. When Sister Jing and the others came here before, they took this route. Zhang Jianzhou couldn't be that stupid as to wander around on this route. Otherwise, Sister Jing and the others would have caught Zhang Jianzhou long ago, before we even got there.
However, just when we were at a loss and were about to change our approach,
However, something happened on Zhou Liang's side.
...
Zhou Liang never intended to follow us from the beginning.
When he saw us take that road, he turned around and went to look for something else. His thinking was the same as we mentioned before: since Zhang Jianzhou had escaped from the research institute, he certainly wouldn't come back to the central town by the same route, because that would be suicide.
Therefore, Zhang Jianzhou will definitely take a path that no one else has taken, or even a path that is not a path at all.
Zhou Liang rushed to the place far ahead of us as quickly as possible, and then began to search for clues along the way.
There are only a few roads leading from the research institute to the central town. Going any further would be a detour, which would be counterproductive and completely unnecessary.
If Zhang Jianzhou wanted to rush to the central town to deliver a message, he would definitely choose the route without any detours.
So Zhou Liang quickly found Zhang Jianzhou's trail.
To be precise, it's bloodstains, not dried bloodstains, and very fresh. If it were zombie blood, the bloodstains wouldn't be so fresh; only the blood of a living person would be like this.
So Zhou Liang followed the trail of blood.
About half an hour later, just as we were about to change our route, Zhou Liang spotted Zhang Jianzhou resting in a wrecked car.
At this moment, Zhang Jianzhou was still four or five kilometers away from the central town. It would take at least an hour to walk there. Zhou Liang didn't understand why he wanted to rest here.
We'll reach the central town in another hour, and then we can completely escape all control. Why rest here?
Could it be that he suffered a very serious injury?
Zhou Liang walked silently to the abandoned vehicle, and Zhang Jianzhou, who was resting inside, did not notice him.
Zhang Jianzhou was basically lying down in the back seat, seemingly to avoid being seen from outside.
He was breathing heavily, looking very tired.
Zhou Liang squatted by the car door and listened for a long time, only to find that Zhang Jianzhou made no sound except for panting.
After waiting impatiently for a while, Zhou Liang stood up from beside the car and knocked on the window.
Zhang Jianzhou, who was resting with his eyes closed in the car, was immediately terrified when he heard the noise. He got up and saw Zhou Liang. Zhang Jianzhou had never seen Zhou Liang before, so after the initial shock, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then became afraid again.
Zhang Jianzhou stared at Zhou Liang in horror and asked, "Who...who are you?!"
Zhou Liang remained calm, opened the car door, took out a pistol, and sat down inside.
Zhang Jianzhou stared at the gun barrel in terror, "What, what are you going to do! I, I don't have anything on me, you, you..."
"Shut up," Zhou Liang said calmly.
Zhang Jianzhou quickly shut his mouth, staring at Zhou Liang with a terrified look, unsure of what Zhou Liang was up to.
Zhou Liang said, "I came from the central town."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianzhou was stunned. "Central Town? You, you're from Central Town?"
Zhou Liang nodded.
Zhang Jianzhou's face lit up with joy. "That's great! I'm also from Central Town. I'm a doctor there. You must have just joined recently. Could you take me back to Central Town? I have something important to tell Ye Qian. If we're late, we're doomed!"
Zhou Liang said, "I know what you want to say."
"You...you know?" Zhang Jianzhou was puzzled and looked at Zhou Liang with doubt. He was very tired after traveling all day, and his mind was a little unclear.
Zhou Liang said, "I know Lu Xiaonan, and I know what your relationship with him is. Also, have you forgotten? We met in that mysterious research institute."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianzhou was stunned. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, took a closer look, and immediately recognized Zhou Liang's face. Pointing at Zhou Liang, he said, "You, you are, you are that Zhou Liang!"
Zhou Liang raised an eyebrow. "It seems you still remember."
Zhang Jianzhou swallowed hard. "No, that's not right! I remember, I remember you. Didn't you have a grudge against Lu Xiaonan?"
Zhou Liang said, "Yes, I have a grudge against him, so what?"
Zhang Jianzhou said, "So, so you didn't come to kill me?"
Zhou Liang smiled. "What do you think?"
Zhang Jianzhou swallowed hard and said, "You, you definitely didn't come to kill me. Lu Xiaonan wants to kill me, but you're his enemy, so you definitely won't kill me! Um, um, can you take me back to Central Town? Let's expose Lu Xiaonan's identity together, and then he'll be finished."
Zhou Liang said, "Why should I take you back? And why should I help you?"
Zhang Jianzhou glared, "Don't you have a grudge against Lu Xiaonan? This way you can kill him!"
Zhou Liang said, "If I wanted to kill him, there are a thousand ways, there's no need to use this. And let me tell you a secret, I'm currently cooperating with him, planning to take control of the entire Central Town. Tell me, in this situation, would I help you?"
Zhang Jianzhou stared at Zhou Liang in disbelief, not believing what Zhou Liang was saying at all, but Zhou Liang's expression clearly showed that he was not lying.
Zhang Jianzhou stared blankly, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, he snapped to attention, turned around, opened the car door beside him, and prepared to run out.
But Zhou Liang acted decisively and fired a shot in his back.
Bang!
