"What?" Tang Xiaoquan was taken aback, then a hint of joy appeared on his worried face.
He was shocked that there were still living people coming and going here, but happy that "catching" this person might help him understand what really happened in this place, potentially revealing the fate of his parents.
With that thought, Tang Xiaoquan didn't dare to delay; no matter what, he couldn't let the other person run away.
Carefully, he tore his parents' photo from the cupboard wall, tucked it into the notebook he carried with him, and then reassuringly patted his pants pocket. After confirming the notebook was securely in his pocket, he swiftly followed Wang Qiang down the stairs.
The short, small man ran wildly for his life, while Xu Renjie relentlessly pursued him. As he ran, he signaled his identity: "Hey! I say, brother up ahead, don't run! I'm not a zombie, I'm a survivor! A living human!"
