End of the World

"Okay, stop looking!" Qiao Xinghua delivered something to the container room and saw Ling Xueyao looking around at the window.

"It's illegal to look at the scenery!" Ling Xueyao grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"It's not illegal, you'd better know what's best for you!" Qiao Xinghua put down his things.

"What is this?" Ling Xueyao asked.

"It's cold, the captain asked me to bring you some blankets!"

"Is that Brother Bin?"

"Yes, do you want it?"

"Of course!" How could Ling Xueyao refuse? She was very sensitive to temperature. To put it bluntly, she was afraid of the cold.

"Your captain is quite attentive!"

Qiao Xinghua spread his hands and did not comment. In fact, it was Fang Xiaoyun who reminded Wu Bin to ask Qiao Xinghua to bring the blanket over. Moreover, only Ling Xueyao had this treatment, and since she was a girl, she was taken care of more.

"This is outrageous, we protest!" Wang Yan was very dissatisfied when he saw that no one brought them a blanket.

"What are you yelling about? Shut up!" Dafeng came up and kicked the wall. The two men were quite afraid of Dafeng's ferocious look.

"Brother, why don't we have blankets?" Wang Yan asked in a gentle voice, not daring to anger Dafeng.

"I don't know. Besides, you two grown guys are afraid of the cold? If you are cold, just keep each other warm!" Dafeng was impatient.

The two were speechless. What was Dafeng's look like? They were both middle-aged uncles. How could they let two people keep warm together? The two felt a chill at the thought.

Wang Yan particularly disliked Zhong Yi, especially the half-beard on his face. It would be better if his sister was here.

That night there was a light rain, which just wet the ground. The north wind was howling and the weather became freezing cold. The cold wave came later than last year, but it was colder than last year.

It was uncomfortable for those on duty at night, working in the cold wind. This made Wu Bin more determined to set up an infrared monitoring system.

At present, the Ford Transit command vehicle seems to be more suitable. However, since it is a fire command vehicle, it only has two channels: wireless communication and satellite communication, and is relatively simple.

The fleet lacks communication talent. If there are technical talents, a simple communication network can be built using the equipment of the fire command vehicle.

The convoy is now unable to even carry out simple wireless communications and is still affected by the electromagnetic interference caused by the nuclear explosion.

The two men in the container house huddled in a corner, their thin clothes making them shiver. Especially Wang Yan, who was cursing all the time and didn't even treat them as human beings.

For zombies, it’s still a good time to eat and drink in this kind of weather. Wu Bin was puzzled. The virus is not afraid of cold or heat, so doesn’t it make it invincible?

After dawn, Dafeng asked the two men to come out and bask in the sun. Damn, there was a little sunshine outside, but the wind was strong and it was colder than inside the house.

"Listen, from now on I will be your chief instructor in charge of training. Just call me Brother Feng!" Dafeng spit at the two of them and shamelessly gave himself the title of chief instructor.

Everyone else was watching with contempt on the sidelines. The two felt like clowns, but there was nothing they could do.

"What about my sister?" Zhong Yi asked.

"There are differences between men and women. I can't train your sister!" Dafeng replied seriously.

Although Dafeng sounded like he was cursing, Zhong Yi didn't dare to say anything because his life was in the other person's hands.

Ling Xueyao was under the care of Meng Zihan and was being taken to the other side. Dafeng scolded Zhong Yi and the other man in an inhuman way. The two were very dissatisfied but dared not say anything. Dafeng made them no match for him even with a single move.

Originally, Wu Bin wanted to detain the three people for two days, and today was a sunny day, so it would be nice to get some fresh air.

Within one day, the repair team completed the maintenance on the vehicle and the convoy set out on a new journey. After going far enough west, they turned north and did not find any new vehicles on the road.

When the convoy stopped, the sun had already set in the west. At the rest camp, the fighters got off the vehicles, cleaned out the zombies, and even dug pits to bury the bodies.

"Brother Bin, I found something good!" Dafeng rushed into the RV excitedly. He Yuxin was teasing Ye Yuanxin and they were startled.

"Sister-in-law, where is Brother Bin?" Dafeng asked when he didn't see Wu Bin around.

"He's outside!" He Yuxin knew Dafeng's temper and was not angry.

When Dafeng found Wu Bin, Qiao Xinghua had already told him that he had spotted a tanker truck on the road. The truck was covered in dust and no words could be seen on it.

Chen Haitao's hands were almost healed and he was itching to do some more, so he was the first to go up and clear out the zombies.

After brushing off the dust, we found that the car was loaded with liquefied petroleum gas, not the diesel that the fleet urgently needed.

"Wow, hahaha, Qiao Xinghua is finally more unreliable than me!" Dafeng gloated.

"What should we do with this petroleum gas?" Qiao Xinghua ignored Dafeng and asked.

"We can get it. From now on, the team won't have to chop wood for cooking!" Wu Bin said. He didn't know how long this truckload of liquefied gas could last.

Zhao Bofeng nodded and agreed to repair the car tomorrow.

A truck loaded with liquefied gas is very dangerous and most drivers cannot drive it. Wang Zhong volunteered to drive it. Wu Bin looked at the car body and felt that it was still very dangerous to expose the tank. If any bad guys attacked the tank truck directly, they would be doomed.

Wu Bin wanted to use steel plates to cover the tank body for an extra layer of protection, but Zhao Fufeng said that this was impossible. It was impossible to weld a car full of flammable gases. This kind of car even requires attention to static electricity, let alone electric welding.

There was no better way, Zhao Bofeng could only drill holes in some places on the car body, screw in screws, and cover it with tarpaulin or wooden boards, which was equally dangerous. Moreover, it was winter, a season when static electricity was easily generated.

Wang Zhong took the LPG truck, so Wu Bin had to be in charge of the fire truck. Manual transmission trucks are very difficult to drive. Wu Bin had experienced this last time when he rushed to the bridge with red clothes and firepower.

He only engaged four of the ten gears at most. The gear design of the previous car was simply abnormal. There were no black and white gears among the ten gears.

The gear positions are spaced closer than hair, so those with poor control feel are prone to skipping gears. The problem is that the speed is not high enough and the gear cannot be engaged or disengaged.

Fire trucks are fine, they have eight gears, and are divided into black and white gears, which is similar to manual transmission cars. Fire trucks are all rated load, and the eight-speed gearbox is completely sufficient.

The water on the fire truck is not smelly, but it is not very drinkable. Dafeng uses it to wash the car every day. Fang Xiaoyun tested the water quality with a test paper and found that there is no problem with the water quality. It's just that it has been in the tank for so long that everyone feels a little uncomfortable.

Wu Bin felt that washing the car was too wasteful, so he asked someone to simply filter the released water with a water purifier. Clean water sources are hard to find now, and even the water in a mineral water bottle is probably not much better than the water on a fire truck.

"Where's Dafeng?" After arranging everything, Wu Bin looked for Dafeng temporarily, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"This boy is out to pick up girls!" Qiao Xinghua responded.

"Pick up girls?" Wu Bin remembered Dafeng's strange behavior recently, and there was something wrong with the look in Wang Xuefei's eyes. He originally guessed what type he liked, and thought he would go after Wen Anyuan or Su Yuling.

"Forget it, let's look for him later!" It was not easy for Dafeng to do his job, and Wu Bin didn't want to disturb him.

The convoy decided to repair the gas tanker before continuing on its journey. The next destination was a garrison camp in Beiling. The convoy wanted to get some ammunition and see if they could pick up some military supplies.

Beiling is the name of a mountain. Satellite images show some blurry buildings in the mountain, but there is nothing on domestic maps, and even the satellite images are blank.

Although foreign maps are not detailed, they at least mark the army group mobile force bases and there are also fuzzy first-level satellite images.

For the first time, everyone felt that foreign maps were useful, at least they marked various government agencies and units. In the past, domestic maps were used for driving, combined with foreign satellite images. Domestic maps were detailed, but sensitive units were not.

Mobile force base sounds very vague. There are too many mobile forces. Everyone thinks that anything with wheels and can run is called a mobile force.

Not to mention the army group, it doesn't even have a number, and even if it does, it cannot be confirmed as it is a military secret.

It took Zhao Bofeng and his team a whole day to fix the tanker. It was not as simple as it not being able to start. It had not been maintained for a long time before the disaster. The engine oil had almost turned into sesame paste, and the wheel bearings also lacked maintenance.

Sure enough, except for the fire brigade's cars which were in relatively good condition, the other public vehicles were in a terrible state. The tank trucks were owned by the transportation company, and the drivers did not take good care of them at all.

Before reaching Beiling, the signs on the road indicated that we were approaching a restricted area. After a few more kilometers, we arrived at a checkpoint.

The area ahead is a military restricted area, and if you enter unintentionally you will definitely be driven away.

The four bidirectional channels of the checkpoint were completely open, and there was not a single zombie to be seen. It was very strange. There was a sentry post five kilometers behind the checkpoint, and the barrier was folded inward, so a car rushed in from there.

Two kilometers behind the outpost is the real military camp. The convoy stopped at the outpost and could not rush in rashly before confirming the situation inside the camp.

Many corpses that were about to turn into skeletons were found near the outpost. All of them had fatal injuries on their heads. When people saw the corpses, they noticed a foul stench.

"Let's go in and do some reconnaissance first!" Chen Haitao picked up his weapon and temporarily took over Chen Guangjun's position before he recovered.

Chen Guangjun, sitting in a wheelchair, was helpless. His injuries had already healed a lot, but due to the severe burns, some scars were inevitably left on his resolute face, making him look a lot more ruthless.

Although the scars on his face were a bit ugly, Chen Guangjun didn't care. If it weren't for Wu Bin and Dafeng, he would have lost his life. Besides, everyone was busy and taking risks for his burns, so he had no reason to give up on himself.

Chen Haitao drove an infantry fighting vehicle carrying Qiao Xinghua and Dafeng to the military camp. At the gate of the military camp, the three found that the gate and the wall had been reinforced, and a circle of barbed wire was set up outside the siege.

The main gate has been turned into a large iron gate that is stronger than the city gate, which is obviously a later modification, proving that the army here had held out for a period of time.

The iron gate was wide open, and the infantry fighting vehicle easily rushed into the camp, but surprisingly, the three men ran into other groups of survivors.

They seemed to be two groups of people, with obviously different styles of vehicles, as if they were in a standoff. They all looked in surprise at the infantry fighting vehicle that suddenly broke in.

At this time, the infantry fighting vehicles were hanging bright flags, which were dancing and rustling in the cold wind. Exclusive logos were sprayed on the bodies of the vehicles. Time seemed to have frozen, and everyone was a little dazed.
