The knock on the door was fast and rhythmic, and it didn't look like a zombie's movement, so Hao Jian looked at the cat's eye, and saw a woman standing outside the door, looking anxious and often looking left and right.
Hao Jian pointed to the door and asked Hao Zuo, "Does the person at the door know?"
Hao Zuo glanced at it, a little surprised, but also a little happy: "It's Teacher Wang Rou!"
After speaking, he opened the door, An Minghui didn't even have time to stop it, and Hao Jian didn't seem to want to stop it.
"Mr. Wang Rou!" Hao Zuo asked the woman to come in quickly, and then closed the door after looking around and seeing nothing abnormal.
"Little Zuo, you're back!" Wang Rou's face also showed a smile, she seemed very happy with Hao Zuo's survival, and then she turned her eyes to two strange men and women.
"These two are... I thought they were your parents, but they don't seem to be?"
Wang Rou mentioned Hao Zuo's sadness, and he looked sad and said, "They are not my parents, they are—" When talking about their identities, he paused, then regained his strength, "They Good people, I met them on the road and they brought me back."
Hao Jian raised his eyebrows, while An Minghui was slightly surprised. He thought Hao Zuo would tell their identities honestly, but he didn't expect him to be so smart.
You must know that his and Hao Jian's identities are a double-edged sword. Walking outside will be helpful and potentially dangerous, so Hao Zuo did not reveal their identities or show that they are very close. Said to be very clever.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Hao Jian again, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Hao Zuo said to them, "This is my head teacher, who lives downstairs."
"Hello, my name is Wang Rou." Wang Rou smiled at Hao Jian and held out her hand.
"Hao kindness." Hao Jian's face did not change.
This is not the first time that An Minghui has heard Hao Jian talk nonsense about her name. He has been given the code name "kind person" several times on assignments, which makes him euthanized. Moreover, in order to facilitate them to perform some tasks, Wen Shanggao also gave them fake ID cards, and they all carried them with them, so at this moment, they were not afraid that Wang Rou would know their true identities.
"… An Yuejun," he said.
Wang Rou smiled and said, "What about your surnames Hao?"
Hao Jian said seriously: "Yes, if it wasn't for his surname Hao, I wouldn't be so kind to bring him back... Alas, I'm so kind."
An Minghui: "…"
Hao Zuo: "..."
Wang Rou also twitched the corners of her mouth, then turned her head and asked Hao Zuo: "Little Zuo, where are your parents? Aren't you from Pearl City? Why..."
"My mom is dead, my dad, I don't know where he is."
When Wang Rou heard this, her face was full of regret: "I'm sorry, the teacher didn't mention your sadness on purpose."
The teacher and the students chatted for a while, and then Wang Rou took Hao Jian to gossip. There was no shortage of inquiries about how they got back and what was going on outside. And An Minghui pulled Hao Zuo aside and asked, "Can you trust your head teacher?"
Hao Zuo nodded: "Mr. Wang Rou is great. She has always taken care of us before. Even if I don't study at school, she is very patient and is our favorite teacher."
An Minghui was relieved: "Since this is the case, then we are relieved. You are not alone here."
Hao Zuo knew they were leaving, but now that he had found someone close to him, he was not so afraid anymore. After he went back, he heard how Hao Jian fabricated their experiences, and knew that the reason why Hao Jian was speaking so loudly was to confess to him.
Although he didn't have a good relationship with Hao Jian, he wasn't a child of a few years old, so he had to be honest when asked. He also trusted Mr. Wang Rou, but he didn't want to cause trouble to An Minghui and Hao Jian, so he chose to hide their identities from the beginning.
After Hao Jian and An Minghui left, he closed the door reluctantly, and Wang Rou asked him, "I heard gunshots before, and then opened the door and took a look, but the sound was at the stairs, and I couldn't see it clearly at home. , I heard your voice later, so I wondered if you had come back, so I went upstairs to see that it was you. Xiao Zuo, who are those people, and why do they have guns?"
"I really don't know who they are. Before the accident, my dad gave a private detective 70,000 to 80,000 yuan and asked him to send me back to find my grandfather. As a result, after the private detective took me away for a while, he secretly threw me away and ran away. After that, I met the two of them, and they kindly sent me back after hearing what happened to me. I didn’t think there was anything to repay, so I gave them all the valuable things in my family.”
When Wang Rou heard this, she didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Our community is not very safe. Would you like to come and live with the teacher?"
Hao Zuo said: "No need, I want to stay at home first, and I'll find a way to find my grandpa after a while."
Wang Rou added, "It's too dangerous for you to be at home alone, and you can't cook. Isn't that a problem? Come and live with the teacher. Xiaoli and Xiaoting also live at the teacher's place!"
Hao Zuo was slightly surprised. The two people Wang Rou mentioned were his classmates and lived in the same community. He hadn't seen his classmates for a long time, and now he was a little moved.
After thinking about it, he nodded.

After Hao Jian and An Minghui left the building, they detoured to the unit opposite where Hao Zuo's house could be observed.
"What are you thinking?" An Minghui asked, Hao Jian didn't care about Hao Zuo at all, why did he come here to observe him
Hao Jian glanced at him, naturally she couldn't say that she suspected that Wang Rou had something to do with the system's mission.
It's not that she has received related tasks, but she thinks that there may be related clues in side task 2. She brought Hao Zuo back with her front foot, and Wang Rou came over with her back foot. You must know that it is not just Wang Rou's family who live in that building. Everyone dared to come out when they heard the gunshots, but Wang Rou dared to come to the door. Inattentiveness is ulterior motives.
It doesn't matter if she guesses wrong, just collect more clues for the mission.
An Minghui thought about it and said, "Yes, she is a teacher. Unless her family has money, how can she afford a house here?"
Fortunately, An Minghui was accustomed to carrying various tools on his back when he went on a mission. He pulled out a monocular telescope. He looked at it for a while and said, "Hao Zuo and Wang Rou are out."
Hao Jian didn't say anything after a "hmm". Before she left, she installed a tracker on Hao Zuo's backpack, and now she can directly identify his transfer status through the system map.
"He should have gone to Wang Rou's house."
An Minghui thought darkly, "Then Wang Rou doesn't have any special hobbies?"
Hao Jian didn't care about Hao Zuo's situation, she pondered for a moment and said, "I can't see her intentions for a while, even if she has any purpose, she won't take action at this moment, let's go back first! "
Even if Hao Zuo trusted Wang Rou again, he would always be wary when they first met, so Hao Jian judged that even if Wang Rou had any means, she would not use it for the time being.
An Minghui smiled and said, "You still care about him!"
Hao Jian said, "You can think so. I don't mind giving you such an impression."

The two returned to the refuge to meet up with Shi Gongzhui. After a day of investigation, Shi Gongzhui collected survivor information from the comprehensive refuge, and then compared the prisoner entry list in the previous official system. Drug-related personnel, who are either former drug users or those who have been sentenced to provide and accommodate other people's drug use.
"Are you still quitting?" Hao Jian asked.
"These people are all in the shelter and have never gone out, so there is little chance of contacting Ji Chang. The people in Yuncheng have also investigated, and they are all normal."
"The fact that they haven't been out of the shelter doesn't mean they're normal. I'll check it out," An Minghui said.
Shi Gongzhui took out another list and said, "By the way, these are all of Ji Chang's subordinates before the end of the world, some are already dead, and some were arrested before the end of the world, but you all remember them. Face, if you encounter it, you won't panic."
Hao Jian suddenly pointed to a man's message and asked, "Is this person's address determined to be in the compound at No. 116 Fu'an Middle Road, Ningxi?"
"Yes, the household registration and address are the same!" Shi Gongzhui said, "Have you seen it before?"
"No, it's just that the location of Xichengyuan is No. 118 Fu'an Middle Road. These two places are quite close."
"...I thought something happened, look at you making a fuss!"
Hao Jian smiled, of course she would not say that she has gradually mastered the real usage of the system. Compared with the various conveniences provided by the system, she still feels that these hidden functions are the most useful, at least the design related to tasks will never disappoint.
In other words, it was not just a simple task for her to bring Hao Zuo back, and it would not be a coincidence that the two addresses were so close. If she followed the address, she might be able to find some clues.
However, she hadn't figured out what reason she should use to get Shi Gongzhui and An Minghui to set their sights on No. 118 Fu'an Middle Road.
After An Minghui returned from the investigation, he exchanged information with them. One day later, Hao Jian discovered that Hao Zuo's position on the system map had begun to move. This was not a small movement, but from the trajectory of the movement, it was very similar to going up and down the stairs. .
Hao Zuo didn't just move in such a small area. After half an hour, he seemed to have returned to Xichengyuan.
Hao Jian said: "Let's go check No. 118 Fu'an Middle Road! People here say that the police went to the drug dealer before the end of the world. He was not at home all the year round, maybe he has been on the run! But I think this kind of Under the circumstances, he will go home and I can't say for sure."
"I'll go with you this time!" Shi Gongzhui said, with him and the two guards, there were more people in Ningxi this time, and it didn't take Hao Jian's hand to get there. No. 118 Fu'an Middle Road, also known as Mingya Garden.
When passing by Xichengyuan, An Minghui asked Hao Jian, "Do you want to see him?"
"No hurry, it's important to do things first."
The group entered the Mingya Garden, and then the group keenly discovered that there were surprisingly few zombies here, and the monitoring was still in operation. An Minghui secretly said, there is indeed something abnormal here.
They had already discussed it, so they searched every house on the grounds of passing by to search for supplies to confuse others.
One of the guards did not know where to learn the unlocking skills, and opened the door in three or two times. However, they also chose an unoccupied house to open the door. After entering, they pretended to search and came out.
An Minghui and the other two guards felt that it was really inappropriate to do these things because of their background, but they also worked hard for the task.
When they finally got to the door of Ji Chang's subordinate's house, they knocked on the door and no one answered, so they tried to open the door, but someone came out and looked alert: "Who are you, why are you picking my lock?"
Hao Jian recognized several people, and this person was one of Ji Chang's subordinates.
An Minghui said: "I knocked on the door and thought that no one lived here, so I just wanted to find something that I could use and eat. Don't waste it!"
"Grass-and-mud horse, you say burglary so nicely?"
"Look at what you said, we call it picking up leaks! No one lives here. It's really a waste to keep things, isn't it?"
"Go away, don't move us here!"
"What's the matter, is it your house upstairs and downstairs?"
"I'm covering up here, get out!"
"Hey, do you think I'm afraid of you?" An Minghui said and put a knife around his neck. The other two guards also held sharp weapons such as axes, looking like rogues.
The man really didn't frighten them, and then he screamed, and several people quickly ran down from the house next to him and upstairs, it seemed that he was ready. They were jammed in the corridor, looking at them menacingly.
Hao Jian and others were happy. Ji Chang really hid here. Almost one-third of his subordinates showed up. He must also be hiding in a certain room.
So she pretended to be afraid and stepped forward to pull An Minghui: "Brother Jun, let's go. Let's go back to Xichengyuan. When we passed by Xichengyuan the day before yesterday, we saw a supermarket there. There must be a lot of supplies there."
An Minghui glared at the man viciously, and said, "I don't care about you today, let's go!"
The other party thought that he was lacking in confidence, so he laughed and deliberately stopped them from leaving. A bony man with blond hair even reached out and teased Hao Jian.
An Minghui pretended to settle accounts with him, and the two sides almost moved hands, and the other party even pulled out a gun. But before he had time to be arrogant, a man with a plain appearance and sharp eyes walked out.
When the other party saw him, they all lowered their heads subconsciously.
Hao Jian and the others also recognized him, and it was Ji Chang, the target of their mission this time.
Ji Chang is in his 40s, with a shaved head and a Tang suit, with a jade Buddha hanging around his neck and beads on his wrist, he looks like an ordinary citizen.
Ji Chang looked at them around, then slapped the man who drew the gun to the ground with a slap. The man lost one of his teeth, and was so scared that he shivered and kept apologizing.
An Minghui kept Hao Jian and the others behind him, and looked at Ji Chang with great vigilance. The latter was also very annoyed at the behavior of his subordinates who took out the guns without hesitation, because it was very likely to arouse suspicion from others, and now he had to think about how to deal with Hao Jian and others who knew they had guns.
However, the disguise of An Minghui and others was very successful. They also said that they came here to travel, and because they couldn't go back, they had to go back to find their relatives while looking for supplies to find a way to survive.
The relative tracing system within the province has been established, but the relative tracing system between provinces is still being debugged, so their rhetoric is credible.
Moreover, Hao Jian speaks Mandarin with the characteristics of Southern City, so it is impossible to make people suspicious.
Ji Chang said, "Are you going to Xichengyuan? It's not safe there. I'll have someone take you there."
It's not so much that he kindly sent someone to send Hao Jian and the others over, but to threaten them not to tell them what happened here.
However, Hao Jian followed the trend and used their hands to clean up the zombies in Xichengyuan, and then searched the supermarket below for a while and found that there were no supplies.
Ji Chang's subordinates saw that they were sweating profusely and found nothing, so they said contemptuously, "You can't find anything around here, all the good things have been searched by us and the people nearby, you guys How can you find it!"
Hao Jian moved for a while, and then "crying", An Minghui hurried over to "comfort" her while giving Ji Chang's subordinate a message.
Shi Gongzhui said again: "It's getting dark, let's find a place to live! There must be a vacant house here, let's look for it here, and we'll be on our way tomorrow."
The other party seemed a little impatient, and went back after confirming that there was nothing unusual about them. Only then did An Minghui and Hao Jian return to Hao Zuo's house. Hao Jian took out a bunch of keys, opened Hao Zuo's house, and then slipped in.
"Where did you get the key?" An Minghui was stunned.
"I took it when I opened the door that day."
Almost every household has spare keys, and Hao Zuo's house is no exception. There is a bunch of keys on the shelf. Knowing that he will come back, Hao Jian takes it.
An Minghui had nothing to say. He went to the kitchen to take a look and said, "The food is gone, it should have been taken away by Hao Zuo."
Hao Jian said, "Look for Wang Rou's house later and see if Hao Zuo is there."
She felt that the movement when they came over was not small, so Wang Rou should be able to find out, so this is a very good opportunity to test Wang Rou, and also to see if she is related to Ji Chang.
