After Xiaoyu left, Zhou Bai and the three of them continued to stay and clean the room.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, another bell rang.
Zhou Bai was wiping an iron frame bed with a rag when he heard the bell and turned to look outside the door.
I don't know if it was Zhou Bai's illusion, but he always felt that every time the bell rang, there would be more eyes looking at him.
Thinking like this, he felt an inexplicable chill behind him.
He lowered his head and stopped looking out the door. He held the rag in his hand and continued to wipe the iron frame bed in front of him.
Then another question popped up in his mind.
Warm reminder for traveling to City A, Article 4.
[At four o'clock every afternoon, please go to the gate of an abandoned primary school in City A alone and stand and wait for 15 minutes. ]
The question now is, Zhou Bai has already moved into the school, so does he still need to abide by this rule?
The back door and front door should be the same, right?
Zhou Bai himself was not sure.
Assuming that this rule is to connect Zhou Bai with the members of the Whitebeard Organization in City A, then it seems that it is not necessary for him to go there every day.
Since there was no evidence to support the need to abide by this rule, Zhou Bai decided to use the stupidest method to solve this problem.
Just follow it blindly.
Thinking of this, he took another look at the time on his pocket watch.
Seeing that there was still plenty of time, he calmly finished wiping the iron frame bed, then put down the rag, walked between Qi Fa and Pangzi, and said to them.
"This accident cost us a suitcase of snacks."
Hearing Zhou Bai mention the box of snacks, Qi Fa couldn't help but pause in his hand holding the mop.
"But it also saved the lives of the three of us and other guests in the hotel, so this box of snacks was well spent."
When Zhou Bai said this, he smiled at Qi Fa, patted Fatty Peng who didn't understand, and then continued.
"So this remaining box of snacks is very important to us.
You need to count the remaining quantity again so that we can re-plan the daily food consumption."
Qi Fa and Peng Zi didn't have any objections to this.
After arranging what they were going to do next, Zhou Bai left the room smoothly on the grounds that he wanted to go out and observe the surroundings of the school first.
He remembered the rules on the note and did not dare to look or touch along the way. He walked on the path out and soon came to the back door of the school.
Only then did he remember that Xiaoyu seemed to have only given the room key, but not the key to the iron door.
Just when Zhou Bai was standing in front of the rusty door, thinking about what to do, he saw the iron door in front of him and slowly opened it.
Zhou Bai wanted to look around with some confusion to see if any cameras were watching him.
But he immediately remembered the rule of "don't touch and look around", and in the end he could only suppress his curiosity and walked out of the back without looking back.
It wasn't until he left the dilapidated iron gate that Zhou Bai could safely pass through the wall next to it and look at the abandoned teaching building inside.
The teaching building inside the wall was pitch black, and it didn't look much different from the surrounding buildings.
Zhou Bai didn't get any more information and could only move forward.
When he arrived at the front door of the school, he stood at the door as before, facing inside, preparing to spend the fifteen minutes quietly.
But what was different this time was that as soon as he stood at the door, he suddenly heard a bell ringing from inside.
"Dong..."
He took out his pocket watch and saw that it showed the current time, which happened to be exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.
This was not the first time that Zhou Bai came to the school gate at four o'clock sharp.
But it was the first time I heard the bell ringing at the school gate.
The sound of the bell echoed in his ears, making him feel numb again.
Did something happen in the school after four o'clock yesterday afternoon that caused the bell to ring every time on the hour?
Or rather, these bells were ringing just for Zhou Bai and the others.
Because Zhou Bai and the three of them moved into the classroom dormitory at the back door, the rule that the bell must ring on the hour was started?
Zhou Bai still couldn't understand this matter for a while.
I could only scan the dark teaching building in front of me with my eyes, trying to get more information.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
Zhou Bai didn't gain anything, and he didn't intend to leave a message to the little bird inside this time.
After confirming that you have complied with the rules, turn around and return to the back door.
Just when he was about to reach the back door, he suddenly saw a group of men in black running towards him in a hurry.
When Zhou Bai saw it, he quickly hid behind a nearby pillar.
It has not been more than three hours since the conflict between Zhou Bai and Blackbeard.
In order not to cause more conflicts, Zhou Bai can avoid them now, so he will try to avoid them.
He hid behind a pillar, and the group of men in black in front ran toward him menacingly. Zhou Bai couldn't help but hold his breath when he heard the footsteps behind him.
And with both hands quietly, he took out the black pistol from his pocket.
If a war cannot be avoided, then we can only fight it.
Zhou Bai was ready to challenge, but the people in black did not give him this chance.
After hearing the sound of footsteps passing by the pillar behind Zhou Bai, he quickly turned into the street next to him, without noticing Zhou Bai's presence.
"Do you think we really need to do this?"
Behind the team of men in black, there was a team member who followed the team forward and asked the teammates next to him with a puzzled face.
"These bombs are enough to blow up the entire processing plant."
"We have been in City A for so long, and we have never used such a drastic method."
"I always feel a little uneasy in my heart."
Not to mention the man in black, Zhou Bai was hiding behind the pillar and felt a little uneasy after hearing what he said.
"There is no way. I heard that the mutated monkey bit many people in the processing plant."
"If we don't take this approach, the consequences may be more serious."
"Stop talking and leave quickly. I'm afraid it will be too late."
After saying that, the man in black stopped discussing the issue.
Zhou Bai hid behind the pillar and waited until they were far away before he came out.
He looked at the direction they left and had a bad feeling in his heart.
No matter what the considerations are, you can't sit still and wait for death. You have to go and see what happens.
As for Qi Fa and Fatty Peng, it is too late to inform them now.
We can only follow him and have a look before talking.
After making the decision, Zhou Bai didn't waste any more time and quickly followed them in the direction they left.
