End of the World

He Yuxin was not in the right condition to exercise, so Wu Bin took her out for some fresh air.

Everyone else greeted the two of them and was more concerned about He Yuxin's injuries, but she had already woken up, proving that she was fine.

What He Yuxin was not very satisfied with was that she broke her left hand when she fell from the roof of the car, and now she felt pain while holding the wooden board. In order not to make Wu Bin worry, she always smiled.

Wu Bin had never broken his hand, so seeing that He Yuxin didn't show much reaction, he didn't think too much about it.

"Why did you bring her out?" Fang Xiaoyun hurried over when she saw the two of them.

"Sister Yun, I'm fine!" He Yuxin smiled.

"You...ah, be careful!" Fang Xiaoyun knew that He Yuxin might not be feeling well, but she still had to cooperate in front of Wu Bin.

The three people were temporarily separated and locked up in container rooms. The only thing that made them feel at ease was that they were not abused and someone delivered meals to them at mealtimes.

After observation, we found that girls accounted for half of the team, everyone was having fun, and there was no oppression or exploitation.

At dawn the next day, Wu Bin gathered a few people and prepared to go outside to look for a rescue vehicle. The first priority was to find a crane to rescue the saber-toothed tiger in the pit. Everything would be left to fate.

"Since these three are survivors nearby, we might as well go and ask them!" Chen Guangjun suggested, maybe we can get something out of it.

So Wu Bin led his men to the container house, and sure enough, the bearded man knew where the crane was. About five kilometers east of here, there was a repair shop under an overpass, a repair shop that specialized in repairing hydraulics. The bearded man remembered seeing several cranes parked inside when he passed by the bridge.

Wu Bin thought that there should be a good crane in the repair shop. Maybe he wasn't so unlucky!

Since it is a repair shop, there shouldn't be many zombies. There is a railway behind the repair shop and a forest on the other side of the railway. You can go through the back and avoid the zombies on the road.

This time, Wu Bin, Dafeng and Chen Guangjun will be in charge of the preliminary reconnaissance if things don't go smoothly.

The infantry fighting vehicle came out of the protection area and came here again. Zhao Bofeng checked and said that the vehicle was in poor condition. Wu Bin thought that they did not need to force their way in, and any car would do.

Then... Zhao Bofeng helped the three of them get a car on the side of the road...!

"This...!" Dafeng shook his head after seeing it. Driving on the road without any modified family sedan is almost like seeking death, because most road conditions are not suitable for sedans.

"Just kidding, I've prepared a concrete mixer truck for you!" Zhao Bofeng said with a smile. As the oldest member of the team, he was in such a mood, probably to cheer up the three people and liven up the atmosphere.

The three of them got on the mixer truck, with Chen Guangjun as the driver. Wu Bin and Dafeng were not good drivers and couldn't even shift gears correctly.

This cement mixer truck is quite old. More importantly, it is directly matched with a ten-speed transmission without high or low positions. The gear position diagram on the gear lever has basically been worn out, and the gears are severely worn, resulting in unclear gears. After being on the road, Chen Guangjun discovered that the car even had the phenomenon of jumping gears, and it was not something that ordinary people could drive.

The three of them accepted the difficulty of driving a car. It was better than walking. Five kilometers was not far, but that was in the past.

The mixer truck went around the woods behind and stopped not long after. The next step was to walk.

The trees swayed in the wind, but there was no sound. It happened to be a cloudy day today, so the woods were a little dark and very quiet.

The three people headed in the direction of the repair shop and not far away, they encountered the first zombie. The grass under the woods was not very dense and the vision was limited due to the weather. It was certain that there was only one zombie within 200 meters.

What are you waiting for? Dafeng picked up an axe and rushed forward, shouting. With a hiss, black blood splattered and the zombie's head flew ten meters away.

When the three were almost at the railway, Dafeng accidentally stepped on a dead body. It was dark and the leaves blocked the view, so Dafeng stepped directly on the corpse's chest and crushed it. Fortunately, the body had already turned to bones, so it was not so disgusting.

Ordinary people would say things like "no offense" or "bless you with peace". But is Dafeng an ordinary person? He just cursed and spitted.

Wu Bin and Chen Guangjun wanted to laugh. Death was already commonplace, so they didn't think it was a big deal.

This was just a small episode. The railway was still the same as before, but there was some rust on the rails. After all, all the trains were paralyzed after the disaster.

Wu Bin wondered if there would be a doomsday train like in the movies?

"That's the repair shop!" Chen Guangjun pointed to the raised crane arm opposite.

"This railway is not easy to pass!" Wu Bin glanced at the railway. There was a three-meter drop from the roadbed to the ground, plus a half-meter ditch, which was obviously to prevent anyone from walking on the railway.

Chen Guangjun was well prepared. He took out a rope from his backpack, wrapped it around the trunk of a nearby tree and tied a slipknot.

"I'll go down first!" Chen Guangjun went to the side and went down along the rope.

"Be careful!"

Wu Bin gave instructions, and the two of them went down separately, with the last person collecting the rope.

"You have to be crazy to build a roadbed like this!" Dafeng cursed as he climbed out of a half-deep ditch.

"Okay, let's go up first!" Chen Guangjun threw the rope up, grabbed the hook firmly, and climbed up.

The three men came to the wall behind the repair shop, and Chen Guangjun did the same thing, throwing the rope to the other side of the wall.

It was Chen Guangjun who climbed up first again. He looked around the repair shop from the wall and saw only a few staggering zombies. After confirming that there was no danger, he turned around and waved to the two men.

There were five or six cranes parked in the repair shop. Hopefully one of them had been repaired. Although only a few zombies were seen, their legs were limping and they looked so weak. Chen Guangjun did not go up on his own, as it was a big taboo to act separately.

"If we kill these zombies, the repair factory will be ours?" Dafeng looked left and right, and there were no more than two handfuls of zombies.

"There are quite a few corpses on the ground. Someone might have been here. I wonder what they were looking for?" Wu Bin noticed the dead bodies on the ground.

"Three per person, that's okay, right?" Chen Guangjun said.

"No problem!" Dafeng replied immediately.

Wu Bin nodded. It was a little difficult for him to deal with three at the same time, but the zombies were separated by a large distance, so his chances of winning were great.

Dafeng seemed to be itching to fight zombies if he didn't fight zombies for a day, so he was the first to rush out. Instead of smashing the zombies to death directly like he did before, he chopped them with the axe in his hand.

The zombie only heard a gust of wind before its head and body were separated, disgusting black blood spurted out of its neck, and its body fell straight down.

Wu Bin and Chen Guangjun were also not slow in their movements. The weapons in their hands were different. Wu Bin's was an iron spear, while Chen Guangjun was more accustomed to a dagger, which was his specialty. He was invincible when dealing with a few ordinary zombies.

Except for Wu Bin who had some difficulties, the other two dealt with the zombies quickly and efficiently.

"There is a gun on the ground, but it's a bit rusty!" Dafeng picked up the gun. It was an old-fashioned gunpowder gun, also called a bird gun in Wu Bin's place, and it was usually used for shooting birds.

"It's strange, the door is locked!" Chen Guangjun said when he came back.

"Didn't someone come here? Did they climb over the wall and run away?" Dafeng wondered.

"I don't know, check everywhere!" Wu Bin shook his head. His mission on this trip was to carry the crane, so he didn't care what happened to other people.

The three people checked the cranes. The one with the lifting arm was ruled out first. Two of the remaining five were parked at the work stations. One had its wheels removed, and the other had a hydraulic rod missing from its arm, which might have also been removed.

The remaining three cars seemed to be fine, but the three people were not professionals and could not check anything.

"Let's go to the office to find the repair order!" Chen Guangjun didn't see anything wrong.

The three of them went to the office. The door was blocked by a cabinet, so there might be zombies inside. Wu Bin and Dafeng moved the cabinet, and Chen Guangjun provided cover.

Sure enough, as soon as there was a slight sound at the door, a zombie pounced over, and from the sound it seemed that there was only one zombie.

The door was opened in an instant, and the zombies rushed out and were killed by Chen Guangjun before they were still a little confused.

Three people covered their mouths and noses as they entered the office. Although it was called an office, it was actually very simple, with just a few cabinets, two tables, a few chairs and a computer.

There was a corpse on the ground that had been bitten into pieces by zombies. The three of them stepped over it and began to search separately. The repair order was in the folder on the table, so they didn't have to spend any effort at all.

Through the maintenance order, the three men knew which car was good, the one parked next to the shed. The license plate number was on the work order, indicating that the car had just been repaired the day before the disaster and was waiting for inspection.

"The work is done, let's go test the car!" Chen Guangjun put away the list and was lucky.

"Aren't you going to look for the key?" Dafeng was stunned.

"The car keys in the repair shop are usually in the car!" Chen Guangjun replied.

However, I was wrong. There were no keys in the car. I had no choice but to go back to the office to look for it, and finally found a bunch of keys in the drawer.

"Okay, let's try the car!" Chen Guangjun inserted the key, but there was a high probability that the car would not start. As expected, the battery was out of power and there was no response at all.

"Please go and see if there are any new batteries!" Wu Bin said helplessly.

However, the three men searched the entire workshop but only found one new battery. They didn't know why there was only one. Large trucks usually have two 200-ampere, 24-volt batteries in total. Of course, some may be smaller.

"What should we do then?" Dafeng spread his hands.

"Find a multimeter and a capacity meter and test the battery of another car!" Wu Bin said.

The negative pole of one of the vehicles at the workstation had been disconnected. After measurement, the battery was still usable, so the three men found the tools to replace the battery of the crane.

"try again!"

It still doesn't work. The motor is turning the engine, but the sound is wrong. The engine seems to be not getting oil. There may be air in the oil circuit. I need to find an oil pump to pump the oil.

Three people crawled under the car and searched for a while before they found it. It was near the engine and a little hard to reach.

"Okay, try again!" Chen Guangjun crawled out from under the car: "Step on the accelerator and don't let go until it starts!"

Dafeng nodded, turned the key, and then a lot of black smoke came out of the crane's exhaust pipe, and the engine was started again after such a long time.

The engine had just started and was idling unsteadily, roaring loudly. The three of them were worried that another zombie might suddenly jump out.

"Warm up the car first!"

The two nodded to Chen Guangjun's suggestion. They were really worried that the car would leave everyone stranded on the road after not moving for so long.
