Chapter 593 Conflict
Hu Fei and I drove away from the primary school.
Since Zhang De doesn't want us to stay here any longer, we can't force him to do anything. After all, we are outsiders to him, and we can't prove whether we are good people or not. So leaving is the best option. I think if we hadn't saved his people, he probably wouldn't have let us leave at all.
"Sigh, I finally found a place where I could sleep peacefully, but I was kicked out," Hu Fei said with a hint of resentment.
I chuckled. "What can we do? He doesn't want us to stay, and we can't force him to. Besides, you saw the situation on their side. The moment we went in, everyone looked at us with hostility. Even if we stay there tonight, it probably won't be pleasant."
Hu Fei said, "Alright, but how long will it take us to search like this? There are only two survivor factions in this area. If we search both sides, it should be quick."
I said, "If we can't find it in either of these areas, we'll try another area. If we still can't find it after searching all the areas, then we'll go back."
Hu Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "It will probably take quite a while."
I said, "Definitely. It will take a long time to find everything, and we might encounter all sorts of unexpected events along the way. We might even die here."
Hu Fei said, "Then take your time looking. I'm just here to have fun, finding people is your job."
I chuckled and didn't say anything. Hu Fei had nothing to do with this matter to begin with. I had originally wanted to come alone, but Pu Weichao and the others disagreed, so I had no choice but to have him come along.
It's still uncertain whether Wu Shuang is in this primary school, so I plan to find a place to stay nearby and observe carefully. Once I'm sure Wu Shuang isn't there, I'll leave.
It was getting late, so I drove to a building in the distance. When I got to the rooftop, I could see the situation inside the elementary school. I used binoculars to carefully observe the people in the school and try to find out if Wu Shuang was inside.
Hu Fei said to me, "Don't tell me you plan to keep watching until dark?"
I stared at the school in the distance and said, "What other options do you have? Do you have any better ideas besides this?"
Hu Fei shook his head and said, "I don't have any good ideas. You can keep looking. I'm going to prepare dinner."
"Okay, thanks."
After dinner, I continued to keep watch here. Now it was completely dark, and torches had been lit over the primary school. The binoculars were barely able to see what was happening there, so I had to put them down and come back to monitor the area tomorrow morning.
Although this method is inefficient, I have no other choice but to do it this way.
I don't know if Wu Shuang is still alive. As long as there is even a glimmer of hope that she is alive, I will not give up looking for her.
At night, we couldn't sleep on the roof, so we cleared out a room downstairs and slept there. Since it felt safe there, we didn't keep watch.
Hu Fei lay down and fell asleep immediately, sleeping soundly and snoring loudly.
I stood by the window looking at the pitch-black night outside, and didn't go back to bed until late at night.
Sometimes time is a cruel thing; it seals everything in the past, and when you want to change things, the opportunity is gone.
...
The next morning at nine o'clock, after I got up, I found that Hu Fei had already left the room, and I didn't know where he went.
I looked around and found him on the rooftop with binoculars, staring at the elementary school. Could he be helping me look for him? But he didn't know what Wu Shuang looked like.
I went up to him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Hu Fei took down the binoculars and said, "Take a look for yourself, something's happened."
"Something happened?" I asked, puzzled. I took the binoculars and looked at the elementary school in the distance.
Then I saw another group of people blocking the school gate, seemingly wanting to do something to the school.
I saw Zhang De, who met with us yesterday, arguing with a group of people outside the school gate. I don't know what happened, but it doesn't look like anything good.
Clearly, there is a conflict between the people outside the school gate and the people inside the primary school.
Hu Fei said, "Should we go over and take a look?"
I said, "This doesn't seem to concern us, does it?"
Hu Fei laughed and said, "It's rare to see such a good show. Let's get closer to watch. It's much more enjoyable than watching from here with binoculars. Besides, aren't you looking for someone? Maybe the person you're looking for is in another group of people."
I initially wanted to decline Hu Fei's suggestion. After all, they looked like they were about to make a move. What if we went there now and were discovered? What would happen if we got involved? Which side should we help?
But Hu Fei is right, what if Wu Shuang is among the other people in the conversation?
Anyway, let's go take a look.
"Let's go take a look."
After making up our minds, the two of us left the place, and we didn't drive after we got off.
After all, we're not far from the school. Just in case, we've brought our weapons. Nobody knows what might happen, so it's better to be prepared so we can fight back if they find us.
We jogged to the wall next to the school, then carefully walked to the corner. We didn't stick our heads out, but we heard the conversation at the school gate.
"Zhang De, listen to me carefully. From today onwards, you must hand over your resources to us. If you don't, I can tell you without hesitation that I will take over this place and see what you do then."
"Liu Tian! Let me tell you, don't even think about it. You're just dreaming. Go back and tell your boss not to expect us to hand over any resources. You go live your lives, and we'll live ours here. We'll keep to ourselves. Why should we listen to you?" Zhang De roared.
After hearing this, Hu Fei smiled and said to me, "It seems to be another power struggle. I guess the other force is stronger than this primary school."
I said, "Stop talking nonsense and keep listening."
Then we heard Liu Tian say, "Since that's the case, then I can only apologize. Since you're so ungrateful, I have no choice but to resort to force. Zhang De, I can tell you very clearly that if you don't hand over the resources today, this place will cease to exist in a few days! So, I'll give you a few days to think it over. I'll come back in a few days and see if you're still so stubborn."
