Chapter 614 The Confirmed Punishment
That night, before going to sleep, I heard from the people around me that Shen Lin had gone to discuss Liu Tian's death with his superiors.
The specific decision will likely be known around tomorrow.
After hearing about this, Hu Fei said, "Why don't we leave tonight? Anyway, according to your guess, only Liu Tian knows about what happened at the school. As for those people who went to the school with Liu Tian before, they definitely don't care about this. Now that Liu Tian is dead, the school's troubles are over, and it's the perfect time for us to leave."
"I don't want to hear about them punishing you tomorrow morning."
I said, "No rush. If they really wanted to punish me, they wouldn't have waited until tomorrow morning. They probably would have already done it to me earlier. Besides, my previous speculation about Liu Tian was just speculation. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, we can't rush things now. We can only wait until we've confirmed everything."
Hu Fei sighed helplessly. I guess he really didn't want to stay here.
I find myself feeling a bit lost.
When I first came to Hangzhou, I came here with the belief that I would find Wu Shuang. But now, I can't find Wu Shuang and I'm wasting my time here. I realize that I've really been a bit stupid.
However, there was nothing I could do about it. Jiang Xiaoxiao's appearance did disrupt my original plans. Since she was alive here, I couldn't let her get hurt. Zhou Yang was already dead, and I couldn't let Jiang Xiaoxiao die too.
...
The next morning, I got out of bed and looked at the sunrise outside the office building. Suddenly, I felt that today should be a beautiful day.
Sure enough, around nine o'clock in the morning, Shen Lin appeared and called me over, saying that there was already a clear answer from above regarding my matter.
I saw Shen Lin's expression; he seemed very unhappy. This confirmed to me that something good was bound to happen today.
Shen Lin led me up to the fifth floor.
I'd heard Fan Xian mention before that only one person lives on the fifth floor—the leader of the office building. And there's also a supermarket on the fifth floor, so there must be a lot of stuff there.
To my disappointment, when I got to the fifth floor, I found that it was indeed a supermarket, but all the shelves were empty. There was no food at all, only some inedible and unusable items left there.
Seeing this, I was a little disappointed. Could it be that they had really eaten everything in this large supermarket?
I arrived at the door of a house, and Shen Lin said, "Go in."
I glanced at Chen Lin. "Aren't you going in?"
Shen Lin said with a displeased look, "The boss only asked you to go in, what am I supposed to do there!"
Hearing this, I didn't know what to say, so I pushed the door open and went in.
Once inside, I found the room to be quite bright and spacious.
Upon entering, I found myself in an office, but there was no one behind the desk. I turned my head and saw a person standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his hands behind his back, staring out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
"You're here." The other person turned around and smiled at me.
When I saw him, I noticed that he didn't have a left hand.
He noticed my gaze, looked down at his left hand, and laughed, "I was bitten by a zombie a long time ago, so I cut it off myself."
Hearing this, I have to admire him. After being bitten by a zombie, he was able to cut off his own hand. How much willpower does that take?
The other person said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhu Zhenhao, and your name is Lu Xiaonan, right?"
"Mm," I nodded.
Zhu Zhenhao chuckled twice and said, "Do you know why I called you up here?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know."
Zhu Zhenhao said, "Please sit down first, let's talk slowly."
He walked to the executive chair behind his desk and sat down. I sat opposite him, and he asked, "Can you tell me where you're from? Shen Lin told me before that you were his colleague at the hospital, but then you disappeared. I want to know where you've been all this time."
I said, "Let's wander around."
Zhu Zhenhao asked, "Could you be more specific?"
I said, "To be specific, I can only give a general account. After escaping from the hospital, I met a group of people who said there was a safe zone in Jiajiang, so we headed there immediately. I also stopped by my home on the way. After that, when we arrived in Jiajiang, we found that the safe zone had been destroyed, so we started wandering around. We wanted to find a place to settle down, but there were just too many dead people and too many zombies."
"There was no other way, so we could only wander around. As I was walking, I found myself back in Hangzhou. So, out of desperation, I wanted to find a place to join and make a living."
Zhu Zhenhao stared at me, a smile always on his face. "So, you have a lot of experience surviving outside?"
I nodded and said, "I guess so. Having survived until now, I do have a lot of experience."
Zhu Zhenhao chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, I think after what happened yesterday, you know that those people down there have absolutely no survival experience, right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, I have indeed noticed that. The zombie outbreak has been going on for a year now, and they still don't have any survival experience. That makes me feel very strange."
Zhu Zhenhao said, "There's nothing strange about it. They've been living in this office building the whole time and have basically never gone out. As for my base camp, it's too safe, and basically no one has ever gone out there either, so their survival experience is basically zero."
"But I don't think that will happen again."
I looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhu Zhenhao smiled and said, "Because you're here."
I immediately understood what he meant.
Zhu Zhenhao said, "You and your companions have such rich survival experience, I think you should be able to lead the people below to survive. Although I know nothing about your experience, I am a person who never holds grudges. As long as you really want to live here, I will give you benefits. Of course, you must ensure that the people below can survive safely."
I asked, "You want me to lead them to survival?"
Zhu Zhenhao nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. I want you to replace Liu Tian and lead them to survive, to teach them how to survive in the outside world. This is crucial. If you're willing, I can have Shen Lin announce right now that you and your companions have become figures like Liu Tian."
I smiled slightly and said without hesitation, "No problem."
