His words left me speechless.
I don't know who this Lu Changkong is, but it's clear that Yao Chengjie values him highly; they're probably very good friends.
Yao Chengjie didn't waste any more words with me. He threw his cigarette butt outside and went upstairs.
I sighed, looking at the heavy rain outside, without any particular thought.
...
The next morning, we set off again, turning around and heading straight for the central town.
Actually, there's something I've always been curious about. When we entered the central town the day before yesterday, the people at the entrance only checked us briefly and didn't question us much. If that's the case, why didn't Yao Chengjie and the others just go in?
Could it be that he doesn't know the rules?
I'm afraid of making things worse by trying to be clever.
I glanced at Song Muyuan, who was driving, with Yao Chengjie sitting next to him. The guy had a serious expression, didn't say a word, and looked very annoying with his cold demeanor.
A few hours later, we arrived near the central town.
We didn't go any closer. After getting off the bus, Song Muyuan and Yao Chengjie planned to walk over.
I stopped them and said, "Wait a minute."
Yao Chengjie turned to look at me: "What's up?"
I said, "Actually, it's easy if you want to get into the central town. Today is the last day of the conference, and Song Muyuan said that there should be the most people now. So as long as you don't bring any weapons, you can basically just queue up and get in. You don't need Song Muyuan to take you in at all."
Yao Chengjie stared at me silently with a slightly cold gaze, seemingly not believing what I was saying.
After I finished speaking, he didn't answer me.
The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
Song Muyuan said, "Brother Lu, it's alright. I'll take him inside, and I'll come out as soon as we go in. Nothing will happen."
I was helpless. Looking at Yao Chengjie's expression, I knew there was no way to stop this. "Alright, then be careful and don't let them find out."
"Yes, don't worry."
After saying that, Song Muyuan and Yao Chengjie went to the main gate of the central town. I looked at the gate of the central town through binoculars and found that there was a long line at the gate.
Before long, the two of them reached the end of the line and moved forward slowly.
They waited in line for a good ten minutes before it was their turn.
I could see it clearly through the binoculars: Song Muyuan was the first to enter the central town. After checking around, he ignored Yao Chengjie behind him and went straight into the central town, seemingly intending to pretend he didn't know him.
As for Yao Chengjie, after being checked by the other party, he entered the central town unharmed.
As for what will happen inside, I don't know, and I don't want to know.
"They got in so easily?" Yao Chengjie's man said to me from the side. He had also seen the situation at the entrance through binoculars.
I said, "Didn't I just say that as long as you don't bring any weapons, there shouldn't be any problems going in?"
Upon hearing this, the guy immediately pulled out all his belongings and said, "I want to go in too."
As soon as he spoke, the others looked at each other, seemingly wanting to go in and check. I guess they were also worried about leaving Yao Chengjie inside alone.
Immediately, these guys started pulling out their weapons.
Before they went past, I said, "Wait a minute."
They all looked at me.
I said, “You can go in, but be careful once you’re inside. There are many armed guards. Don’t get into any conflict with them, or you’ll all be finished.”
"Okay," the guy said, and then they went over.
Then, only one of Yao Chengjie's men remained. This guy wore glasses, was very young, and seemed to be a student.
He swallowed hard, staring blankly as they passed by, holding the weapon they had given him, unsure of what to do.
I walked up to him and said, "You don't need to go in. Just wait here for them to come out. I reckon they'll come out soon after they find Jiang Bai."
The student-looking guy nodded, looking somewhat helpless as he watched his companion's departing figure.
After that group of people went to line up, I saw Song Muyuan, who had been inside for a short while, come out of the central town.
I breathed a sigh of relief the moment I saw him come out.
He waved at me, ran back with a smile, and said, "It's alright. I didn't run into anyone I knew. Yao Chengjie has successfully gone in and is probably looking for people inside now. Hey, where are the others?"
I said, "They all went inside too."
Song Muyuan was taken aback.
I said, "Now that you're back, let's go. It's time to go back."
The student wearing glasses looked a little scared when he saw us leaving and said, "But what will I do if you leave?"
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your friends should be out soon. As long as they don't cause trouble inside, there shouldn't be any problems. So find a place to hide now and wait for them to come out."
"But, but... Hey, don't go!"
I don't want to have anything to do with these people anymore. According to our original plan, we should have been home by now, but we encountered this ridiculous situation on the way, which makes me very helpless.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, things went smoothly, and their people are now inside.
If we don't withdraw now, when will we?
I got in the car and drove off, not caring about the guy left behind.
Now that everything is over, what happens to this guy surnamed Yao next has nothing to do with me anymore. Whether they live or die is irrelevant.
It's kind of ridiculous to think about it. I remember when I first got the news about this guy surnamed Yao from Wu Lin, I was thinking about whether I should cooperate with him or get in touch with him. But now it seems that's impossible.
...
The rest of the journey went incredibly smoothly; we didn't even encounter many zombies.
We opened the car windows and let the wind blow freely.
Sister Jing said with a smile, "Luckily, those guys all got in in the end, otherwise we wouldn't know how to get out."
I said, "Yeah, but it makes sense when you think about it. If one of us gets arrested and locked up in the central town, the others would probably go in to rescue him."
Song Muyuan chuckled from the back seat and said, "What you're saying isn't the key point!"
"Then what is the key?" Sister Jing asked.
Song Muyuan said, "We can have chicken tonight! Chicken! It's been so long since we've had it! Holy crap, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"
I laughed and said, "Yes, that's the key! Having meat to eat is the most important thing!"
