End of the World

There is still space on the curb, enough for a Hummer to pass through. The 30mm machine gun on the infantry fighting vehicle is also aimed at the Hummer. Any unusual movement will be immediately blown to pieces.

The people in the Hummer were all looking at the convoy, especially the three modified RVs, which could be called doomsday chariots.

The white driver approached and recognized the armored vehicle. Wasn't it the group that turned the Red Shirt Society's lair upside down that night? But he didn't dare to move and drove through honestly. He didn't want to be killed by mistake because of the other party's misjudgment.

The Hummer successfully passed, but the white driver was reluctant to leave. Wu Bin and others broke into the Red Society's lair to rescue people and released all the imprisoned survivors. He subconsciously thought that they were good people, and that they were able to save their companions from such a dangerous place, proving that they valued friendship. In the end times, unity and friendship are too important.

"They're gone, be alert!" Chen Guangjun didn't think the Hummer would come back, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

This little episode passed quickly, and good news came from the ambulance. Both mother and child were safe. An Wenwen successfully gave birth to a healthy boy. When the baby cried, it was the voice that represented hope for mankind and the hope for the continuation of the race. The convoy finally welcomed the first birth of a little life after the end of the world. A child born in a great disaster is destined to have an extraordinary life.

An Wenwen looked at the crying child in Cheng Xiaochun's arms and felt that the pain she had suffered was rewarded. She was extremely grateful to everyone in the team.

Fang Xiaoyun arranged the weak An Wenwen to get in the RV. The huge RV was more stable while driving. While there was still time, perhaps they could still travel a few hours.

After the convoy is packed up, it will be back on the road. It is best to reach the highway intersection before dark. It is safer to spend the night on the highway than on the national highway.

At the entrance of Xinli Expressway, as expected, all the lanes of the toll station were blocked by vehicles. Wu Bin could only spend time clearing out the zombies and then use the RV to drag out the abandoned cars blocking the lanes one by one, which made him determined to get a road-clearing car.

The road ahead will be extremely difficult to travel. If you want to drive smoothly, you will probably have to bring a team of engineers. When the passage is cleared, the night comes quietly. This place is not bad either. The zombies have been cleared out long ago. The team is stationed at the entrance of the toll station.

It seems like we didn't do anything today, but everyone is physically and mentally exhausted. Just cleaning the toll station took a lot of energy.

There is no other way but to arrange reliable personnel to stand guard at night. If conditions permit, you can get an infrared monitoring system and place cameras around to provide 360-degree coverage. If a dynamic object approaches, an alarm will be triggered. Of course, the prerequisite is to have a communications vehicle.

At midnight, when everyone was soundly asleep, Qiao Xinghua handed over the shift to Wu Bin. Wu Bin yawned. It was an unpleasant thing to get up in the middle of the night to be on duty.

There are two people on duty at each post, one using his night vision sighting equipment in the infantry fighting vehicle, and the other using a small searchlight on the roof of the RV.

A cold wind blew and Wu Bin shivered. The wind made the leaves rustle together, and a rustling sound came from the bushes under the tree.

Wu Bin soon noticed something unusual about the bushes. He shone the light into them, but could not see what was going on inside. He could only see them shaking unusually.

"What is that?" Wu Bin didn't dare to get off the car rashly. As soon as he finished speaking, a ferocious head popped out from the bushes. Wu Bin was shocked. It was a zombie!

The zombie crawled out from the bushes and crawled around nearby, behaving very strangely. It wandered for a while, then slowly approached the zombie corpse and began to eat it with voracious mouthfuls.

Wu Bin felt that this zombie was not like the ones he had seen before. It was not like a nocturnal zombie, and zombies did not eat the corpses of their own kind.

The searchlight turned to a farther distance, and Wu Bin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. There were actually dozens of zombies eating the corpses of zombies killed during the day in the place where the zombie corpses were piled up.

Wu Bin quietly woke up the others. They were originally very sleepy, but they immediately woke up when they heard the strange zombies. Everyone picked up their weapons and stood guard by the car windows.

When Wu Bin returned to the roof of the car, he felt terrible. Several ferocious zombie dogs appeared under the light. The most annoying thing outside is bugs, followed by zombie dogs. Bugs are not very common and they often appear in groups. Zombie dogs are very disgusting and will attract other zombies. It will be very dangerous if there is a group of zombies nearby.

Others also discovered the zombie dogs and gripped their weapons, ready to kill them first.

However, something strange happened. The zombies that were originally eating the corpse discovered the zombie dogs and actually began to attack them. They jumped up and pounced on the zombie dogs and devoured them. The zombie dogs became silent in an instant, apparently having died.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment as the two sides fought. To be more precise, it was more like hunting. The strange zombies relied on their advantage in numbers to overwhelm the zombie dogs, leaving them helpless.

"My goodness, is dog meat so attractive?" Dafeng said when the last zombie dog was being eaten.

"These zombies are too weird!" Qiao Xinghua was also shocked. The fact that they can prey on zombie dogs proves that they are more dangerous than zombie dogs.

"Let's leave here first!" Wu Bin didn't want to have too much contact with them and judged that they were a new type of zombies.

The others nodded. It was pitch dark and there were still quite a few of them. How many mutant zombies were there outside?

Almost all the vehicles started their engines at the same time, but the strange zombies did not react much. The convoy passed through the toll booth and entered the highway. They probably didn't get much sleep in the second half of the night.

The convoy startled the zombies on the highway, but they all fell under the wheels. After traveling for an hour, the convoy stopped in a tunnel because the tunnel was blocked.

The convoy turned off the engine and got out of the car to clean out the zombies, intending to hold out until dawn. According to the map, there were basically woods near the tunnel, so there shouldn't be any danger.

When the first ray of sunlight shines through the darkness, the personnel on duty can finally relax and go back to sleep. The tunnel is blocked by large vehicles, and it will take a lot of effort to clear it, so the convoy can only choose to take a detour.

Fortunately, the tunnel in the opposite direction was unobstructed, so the convoy did not have to leave the highway and only had to clear a section of the central isolation strip. This still took more than four hours, mainly because there were no suitable tools at hand.

The convoy basically gets back on the road after lunch. Based on this calculation, the convoy can only travel 20 to 30 kilometers a day at most. Previously, the highest record was 80 kilometers in one day along the railway bed to Tangshan.

"There is a highway service station ahead. Let's go over and take a look. If conditions permit, we can stay there tonight!" Wu Bin looked at the time and notified through the car radio.

Chen Guangjun commanded the infantry fighting vehicle to enter the service area for reconnaissance first. Judging from the situation outside, Wu Bin and his companions were not the first survivors to arrive here.

There were quite a few zombie corpses in the parking lot, and their degrees of decay were varying. At least two groups of people arrived before Wu Bin and his group.

The infantry fighting vehicle circled the parking lot twice and lured all the zombies out of the building. It had been swept by two groups of people before, so there were not many zombies in the service area.

Looking at the dozen or so sparse zombies, Chen Guangjun suggested that the team use cold weapons to clean them up and practice their personal fighting skills.

Wu Bin agreed. The guns on hand now had almost no ammunition and were no better than fire sticks. He could not fall behind in cold weapons.

It was surprising that Fang Xiaoyun volunteered to go into battle. Given her status as a doctor, she didn't have to fight and could even hire someone to protect her.

Meng Zihan and Lu Qiqi were unwilling to fall behind and took the initiative to join the battle. He Yuxin also wanted to try close combat, but the dozen or so zombies on the opposite side were not enough to fight against as the number of people in the convoy was greater than theirs.

"See? This is the power of unity!" Chen Guangjun pointed at the zombies and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of now!"

For a moment, everyone looked at the zombies with malicious eyes. Dafeng even smiled sinisterly to suit the situation, looking like a dark and muscular man.

Chen Guangjun and Chen Haitao held guns, He Yuxin held a bow, and the three of them stood by ready to rescue at any time, which gave the people who went into battle more confidence.

The murderous group was soon discovered by the zombies, who also roared loudly and appeared very aggressive.

"Kill!" Dafeng drew out his weapon and swung it forward, feeling like a general commanding a million strong troops.

"Chichi!"

The weapons in everyone's hands were all spears, so they could basically stab the first zombie easily. However, the spear was not a very flexible weapon, and the random stabbing resulted in the spear not being retracted in time, making it easy for the zombies to get close to them.

In ancient times, anti-cavalry weapons such as spears and lances were used in conjunction with shields. In close combat, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Weapons like swords and knives would be at a disadvantage in a one-on-one fight with lances.

But it’s different when the enemy is zombies. They have no fear at all and they come in endlessly. In a desperate counterattack, long weapons are not as effective as flexible short weapons. This is what happens on the field.

There are eight people fighting, each with two zombies. They can easily kill the first zombie, but the second zombie basically cannot react in time, thus causing dangerous situations.

"Whoa!"

He Yuxin drew her bow and shot two zombies to death. She could hit the target accurately at close range.

Chen Guangjun and Chen Haitao also went up to rescue the situation. They killed four zombies with their rifle bayonets, and the remaining two were captured by eight people.

"See? This is the consequence of not being good at fighting. There is no chance of a one-on-one fight with zombies!"

Everyone was blushing and didn't dare to refute Chen Guangjun's words. Their performance was indeed very bad. They were no match for the zombies in close combat without guns.

In the team, apart from Chen Guangjun and Chen Haitao who have strong close combat ability, only Dafeng is okay. This guy purely uses his great strength to make miracles happen, and no one else can compare to him.

"Did you hear me? No one can do it, including me. Let's work together from now on!" Wu Bin came over. He was not much stronger than the others. It was difficult for him to fight two or three zombies at the same time with cold weapons.

Everyone nodded in agreement. There is no such thing as luck in battle. It is impossible to have teammates to help you every time. After surviving for so long, you also know what the situation is like outside.
