(As a struggling writer, I would like to earnestly request a recommendation, and I will still be posting three updates today.)
Over the next few days, Pu Weichao and Li Qiming went out for a morning and brought back a lot of food and supplies, so we could live here for the time being.
However, this won't work in the long run.
Fei Lichao intends to leave here and head to the safe zone in Jiajiang; only Pu Weichao and I know this.
However, they can only set off once Fei Lichao has fully recovered.
Moreover, the journey from Hangzhou to Jiajiang is nearly 100 kilometers, and it's not an easy one to travel.
We need to carefully confirm the route we'll take. Even if we can't predict the situation, we still need to be well-prepared.
As for Wu Shuang, the situation is getting worse.
His body became increasingly weak, and he was basically unable to move around on his own. He spent a lot of time sleeping during the day, and even when he woke up, he couldn't eat anything.
I knew very well that her time was almost up.
But I don't want to accept this outcome.
...
Days passed by, and another morning arrived. If I remember correctly, today should be February 1st.
It's been over a month since the disaster occurred at the end of last year; time really flies.
I wonder how my parents are doing now, whether they are still alive.
And then there's Su Ming. He was the one who called to warn me that the world was going to change, but I didn't believe him. As it turns out, he was right. But I still can't understand how he knew all this in advance?
Just as I was thinking about these things in the bathroom, there was a knock on the door.
I went out to open the door and saw Pu Weichao.
"How is Wu Shuang?" Pu Weichao asked.
I turned around and saw Wu Shuang lying peacefully on the bed, still asleep.
I said, "Same as always, sleeping. I guess he won't wake up until noon."
"Hmm." Pu Weichao nodded. "That's perfect. Fei Lichao has almost recovered now. He asked me to come and teach you. He said he wants to discuss leaving. What do you say?"
I shook my head: "I don't have any ideas, do as you please."
Pu Weichao said, "Alright, let's come over and discuss it together."
"Um."
Pu Weichao and I went to Fei Lichao's room, where I saw Fei Lichao doing push-ups with one hand on the floor.
When Fei Lichao saw us come in, he got up from the ground and put on his coat.
I asked, "Does your shoulder still hurt?"
Fei Lichao nodded: "A little, but not serious. If this were in the military, I could definitely participate in training."
I nodded: "It's best not to be reckless."
Fei Lichao chuckled upon hearing this, said nothing more, picked up a folded map from the table beside him, spread it out on the bed, and said, "Let's discuss how we can get out of this hellhole."
The three of us stared at the map, and none of us knew what to do.
The map is of Hangzhou, and the routes on it are incomplete. National highways, provincial highways, and expressways are clearly marked, and many tourist attractions and buildings are also marked, but many small roads are completely omitted, which is a fatal flaw.
If we had been able to pinpoint the exact path, our chances of survival would have been much greater.
Finally, Pu Weichao spoke first: "Actually, 100 kilometers from Hangzhou to Jiajiang is not far. If you walk on the highway, it will take about a day to complete the journey. Including the possible situations you may encounter along the way, it should take about two days."
"You're talking about the past, aren't you?"
"Mm." Pu Weichao nodded.
"Nonsense!" Fei Lichao cursed.
I looked at the map and said, "Actually, my home is in Wutong City. If we want to get to Jiajiang, we definitely have to pass through Wutong City. I thought about it and realized that we've been taking the highway the whole time. Whether we drive or walk, it's fast, but if we encounter a horde of zombies on the highway, we'll be helpless. Moreover, once we're on the highway, we're far from the city. If we don't have enough food with us, we probably won't be able to survive."
“We don’t know the situation outside right now. Once we’re on the highway, we can’t just keep going. We’ll definitely encounter various delays. I estimate it will take at least three or four days if we take the highway. What if we run out of food by then?”
Pu Weichao shook his head and said, "Xiaonan, your idea is too extreme. Even if we are unlucky, we can't be as unlucky as you say. Taking the highway does have disadvantages, but it also has advantages. At least we can go straight to the end. Like you said, we don't know the situation outside, which is why we want to take a gamble."
I clenched my fists and said, "But if we lose the bet, we might die."
Pu Weichao wanted to argue, but he didn't know what to say, so he rolled his eyes and continued staring at the map.
Fei Lichao said, "What you both said makes sense, but our main thing right now is how to leave Hangzhou. Let's discuss that first, and then we can think about going to Jiajiang."
Fei Lichao's words were like an order, and Pu Weichao and I obeyed them subconsciously.
I stared at the map, thinking about which route would be safest.
At this point, Pu Weichao said, "Why don't we tell other people about this and discuss it together?"
Fei Lichao and I exchanged a glance, and Fei Lichao said, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
Pu Weichao said, "What's inappropriate about it? They'll find out sooner or later anyway."
Fei Lichao said, "That's not what I meant."
"What is that..." Pu Weichao had just asked when he realized what was going on, and gave an awkward smile, "I understand."
