Zai
By late afternoon, Zai hadn't found any dogs, but she had learned a great deal about Auntie Jie and the student movement. A year and a half under siege had been more than enough time for many to come around to and become experts in Mea's cause, especially since some of their professors had joined them in the embassy and even conducted classes. It was almost surreal to think of the self-organized supply chains, rotations, and security that had arisen, which were reflected in the search caravan.
She'd also watched firsthand how quickly hundreds of people could organize to empty entire mansions. The students started by pushing out looters when there were any, and removing all the remaining furniture that could be moved.
