Lu Yundu's voice came from outside the skylight, interrupting me.
I paused for a moment, then asked, "Where?"
Lu Yun came back from outside the skylight, handed me the binoculars, and pointed to a construction site in the distance on the left, saying, "It's over there, do you see it? There's a child over there at the construction site!"
I looked through the binoculars in the direction Lu Yun pointed, and indeed I saw a child in front of the construction site. Actually, I shouldn't call it a child, but rather a girl. She looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, like a middle school student.
Furthermore, it can be confirmed that this middle school student is not a zombie, but a living person, because she is holding an iron rod in her hand.
"I saw it."
I said something, handed the binoculars to Lu Yun, and drove directly to where the girl was.
"Let me see, where is it?" Du Xu took the binoculars.
Lu Yun said, "It's over there at the construction site."
Du Xu said, "Oh, I see it, I see it."
I stepped on the gas and drove over. As we got closer, the noise of the car caught the girl's attention. She seemed to be wary of us. After looking at us for a while, she ran into the construction site.
So I quickly sped up, and in a short while, the car arrived in front of the construction site.
After we got off the bus, we intended to go directly into the construction site, but when we saw the people inside, we didn't go in.
The people at the construction site are a family of three.
Besides the girl, there was also a couple, and the girl appeared to be their daughter.
The man in the lead shielded his wife and daughter behind him, looking at us warily, and he was holding a knife in his hand.
The three of us exchanged helpless glances, and I said to the family of three inside, "I'm sorry, we meant no harm."
"Please leave!" the man in the family of three shouted at us.
I spread my hands and said, "Um, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. We scared you, but we're not bad people. We mean no harm. You can see we don't have any weapons, so don't worry, we won't do anything to you. We just came here to ask you some questions, nothing else."
The man looked at us silently, without saying a word.
Seeing his expression, I didn't want to delay, so I asked directly, "We're here to find people. Two of our friends went missing around here. We've been looking for them for several days but haven't found them. So we wanted to ask if you've seen two people, a man and a woman. The woman's name is Lu Jing, she's the older sister of the girl next to me. The two sisters look quite alike. The man's name is Fei Lichao, he's about my height, and he's a soldier. Have you seen them?"
"No!" the man said bluntly, as if he hadn't even thought about it.
I frowned slightly and asked again, "You really haven't seen these two people? One of them is her sister, the two sisters look very alike, and the other person is a soldier."
"I said no, please leave." Although the man was angry, he still maintained some politeness.
I saw the girl behind the man look puzzled. She said a few words to her father, and his expression changed instantly. The man's wife also looked strange at that moment.
Seeing them like this, I felt something was fishy.
Before I could speak, the man looked at us and said, "Please leave. We didn't see any men or women, so please don't bother us anymore!"
I stared at the man and asked again, "Are you sure you really didn't see it?"
"I said I didn't! What else do you want!" the man roared.
I nodded. "Okay, you say no, then what did your daughter just say to you?"
The man's expression changed. "This has nothing to do with you."
I said with a serious expression, "I'm sorry, this is very relevant to me. If you really see these two people, I hope you can tell me, because these two people are very important to me, and I don't want to miss any news about them. So, if you know anything, please be sure to tell us!"
The man took two steps forward, knife in hand, and roared at me, "I already said I didn't see anything! What more do you want? I advise you to leave, otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill you all. I've killed people before!"
Hearing his words, I felt there was a connection, but I didn't mean any harm to this man. His decisive refusal must mean he didn't want to get involved in this matter, and even less did he want to have anything to do with us, which is why he was so resolute.
However, Sister Jing and Fei Lichao are too important to me, I must know where they are!
I cannot give up on any possible clue.
I nodded and said, "Okay, you won't tell me, huh? Then don't blame me."
As I spoke, I pulled out my gun and pointed it at them.
The man's face paled at this point, but he still forced a smile and said, "Don't think you can fool me with a fake gun! I don't believe you!"
I pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Gunshots rang out, leaving a bullet hole in the concrete ground in front of the man and raising a cloud of dust.
"Ah!" His daughter, who was behind him, was startled and screamed.
The man took two steps back, shielding his wife and children behind him, staring at us with terrified eyes.
I pointed the gun at the man's head and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, have you seen these two people? Tell me the truth, and I won't kill you. If you don't tell the truth, I don't mind teaching you a lesson."
The man opened his mouth but couldn't speak; he seemed completely terrified.
His wife, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and said in a panic, "I'll tell you everything I know, will that be alright?"
I nodded, without putting down my gun, and asked, "Go on, I'm listening."
The wife glanced at her husband beside her and her daughter behind her, and said, "Could you let that girl next to you come a little closer? I need to see if she really looks like her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun took the initiative to step forward.
"Alright, alright, that's enough for you. I can see clearly now." My wife raised her hand to stop Lu Yun from going any further. After taking a closer look at Lu Yun, she looked at me and said, "I think we have indeed seen those two people you mentioned, but before I say anything, could you please put the gun down? It's rather dangerous."
"Okay, okay." I quickly put down my gun. "Don't worry, we really don't mean any harm. As long as you tell us, we'll leave right away and definitely won't bother you."
My wife looked at us and nodded slightly. Then she began to talk about Sister Jing and Fei Lichao.
