Perhaps it was the overwhelming sadness, or perhaps she was just too weak; in any case, after crying for a while, Wei Yang fell asleep heavily on Tang Xiaoquan's shoulder.

Seeing her so peaceful, the heavy stone hanging over everyone's heart finally dropped.

To avoid disturbing the girl's rest, Hu Xiaodong gently lifted her up, moving as if handling something fragile, as any small mishap could result in a big disaster.

Carefully, after placing the girl in the room specially cleared out for her, Hu Xiaodong tiptoed out, quietly closing the door behind him as he returned to the living room.

"How is she, Brother Hu?" Almost in unison, as soon as Hu Xiaodong returned, everyone eagerly asked.

Nodding slightly, Hu Xiaodong signaled to everyone not to worry too much, believing that with time, the girl would gradually recover.

In the ensuing time, the survivors returned to their routine, but due to Wei Yang's situation, they didn't feel like continuing their card game. So, they all just sat there, wide-eyed, until night gradually fell...

As usual, dinner was a light soup; the only instant noodle with luncheon meat was specially prepared by Tang Xiaoquan for Wei Yang.

No one minded this. On the contrary, they thought Tang Xiaoquan was being a bit stingy.

"How is it, Brother Hu? Is she awake?" Tang Xiaoquan asked casually, as the gaze of the others also moved to the shadow hidden in the dim light.

The shadow slowly emerged, and the flickering candlelight made its already robust figure appear even more imposing.

"Phew~" Letting out a soft sigh, Hu Xiaodong found an empty seat and, lowering his voice, said, "It's good; she's still asleep."

"Then, should we..."

"No," Hu Xiaodong shook his head slightly after pondering for a moment, and said to Tang Xiaoquan, "Let's not wake her up. I think she's been through a lot of scares recently, and it's not easy for her to finally get a good sleep. Let her wake up naturally. As for food, we can always reheat it later!"

"Alright!" Tang Xiaoquan responded instinctively and stopped talking, resuming eating the porridge in his bowl.

A night swiftly passed, and as the first ray of sunlight shone into the living room the next morning, the early-rising survivors were already gathered around the wooden table, discussing the future survival plans.

It was an unavoidable issue. After more than a week's daily consumption, the survivors' remaining supplies had reached a critical level that demanded attention.

Based on previous estimates, their supplies could last for two weeks. But now, with Wei Yang added to the group, the survivors had to draft a plan for the future.

"Personally, I lean towards leaving. Although this place seems safe, after several incidents, it's clear that zombies have basically surrounded it. Moreover, the nearby shops are mostly clothing and entertainment-related, so relying on occasional outings for supplies may not be practical." Tang Xiaoquan straightforwardly expressed his view.

"So, according to you, we must leave, right?" Wang Qiang raised his eyebrows and followed up with a question: "But have you thought about how we leave, and where to go after that?"

Upon hearing Wang Qiang's questioning, Hu Xiaodong looked at him in surprise, evidently not expecting such questions: "Yes, Xiao Tang, I think Qiang's questions are very important. You see, we're surrounded, trapped by zombies. It might not be that easy to leave!"

In response, Tang Xiaoquan agreed but also pointed out, "Yes, the zombie encirclement is a problem, but it's not without gaps!"

As he spoke, Tang Xiaoquan took out the pen and paper he had prepared beforehand and quickly drew a rough sketch on it.

After he finished, he pointed to a spot on the drawing and said with a smile, "Look here; this position is the gap in the zombie encirclement."

Looking at the direction the young man was pointing, Hu Xiaodong pondered for a moment before identifying the exact location: "Isn't this the street opposite the main door downstairs?"

"Exactly!" Placing the pen down, Tang Xiaoquan nodded and continued, "Although the exact situation on this street is unknown, compared to others, it certainly doesn't have a high concentration of zombies. So, if we were to leave, this would be our best choice."

"But..." With a doubtful expression, Wu Chao was also concerned about leaving: "Quanzi, we can leave, but how? We're pretty much penniless now, and if we walk out with just our legs..."

There was no need to finish the sentence; it was enough to convey his concern.

Tang Xiaoquan didn't immediately reply, as what Wu Chao mentioned was exactly the key point he wanted to discuss today.

Glancing at everyone, Tang Xiaoquan hoped someone would propose a constructive idea, but unfortunately, it wasn't the case.

The living room fell into silence, with everyone looking at each other without uttering a word.

With no other choice, Tang Xiaoquan once again spoke up, "Anyway, considering the current situation, I still think this is not a place to stay for long. We should leave. As for how, perhaps we need to take a risk and see if we can find a usable vehicle. Of course, there's still some time, so no need to rush to conclusions. I hope everyone can give it more thought and hopefully, we can find a solution that works for all!"

Just as Tang Xiaoquan was about to take a breather, he noticed everyone showing astonishment.

Curious, he turned around, only to see a beautiful figure appear in his line of sight.

Wei Yang was dressed in a light blue tight T-shirt, and her face, once stained with tears and blood, was now as fine and clean as white jade. Her black hair cascaded naturally, catching the faint dawn light, casting a luxurious glow.

Beautiful! This was the unanimous thought among the six men.

Moreover, this beauty was different from those created by cosmetics. It emanated from within, elegant and unassuming, soothing just by looking at it.

But just as they were marveling at Wei Yang's beauty, she walked to the window on her own and, facing away, said indifferently, "Brother Hu, could you do me a favor?"
