"The 444 bus has returned? This is a good opportunity to gather intel, I need to hurry down."
Wang Zhifan saw the black bus appear on the desolate and dilapidated street from the corridor on the sixth floor of his apartment, and immediately ran into the elevator to get down to the first floor.
When he stepped out of the elevator on the first floor, he turned his head to see many people gathered at the two glass doors at the apartment entrance. Nearly all the residents on the first floor were crowded on the inside, peering out the doors, and standing at the forefront in the center was that hunchbacked building manager.
"Wonder how many will come back today... Hopefully, it's not an empty bus again..."
As he stepped towards the entrance, Wang Zhifan overheard residents speaking in hushed tones, filled with anxiety and fear, as if they were the ones taking on missions outside the apartment.
"Impossible! I just saw silhouettes in the bus windows, more than one!"
