End of the World

The door to the second floor room was locked. Wang Yan opened it and found a badly decomposed corpse on the bed. Judging from the photo on the bedside table, it was a young woman.

Unfortunately, since the disaster broke out, she was unable to take an important step and was trapped here to death.

The four of them searched the building inside and out, taking away everything they needed. There were boxes of animal medicine on the first floor, and they were all moved to the saber-toothed tiger.

Aimless searching is not a solution. He Yuxin drew two circles around the camp on the map. This was the search area to eliminate possible dangers.

The saber-toothed tiger moved forward and soon stopped. Several gunshots were heard in the distance, and it was confirmed that they were not coming from the direction of the camp, which meant that there were other survivors nearby.

This is not good news. What makes this world complicated is people, and the most difficult things to deal with out there are the other survivors.

"Are we still going forward? They may be somewhere ahead!" Qiao Xinghua stopped the car and turned back to ask.

"Considering the surrounding environment, they are probably not survivors stationed here. They should be the same as us!" Wu Bin analyzed, and several people nodded in agreement.

Even though they were in the same industry, Wu Bin still had to be careful. There was no large group of zombies nearby, so it was better not to meet other people.

Sabretooth turned around and went home. No matter what happened to the person who fired the shot, it had nothing to do with Wu Bin, so he avoided getting into trouble.

The saber-toothed tiger came back early, and everyone thought it had walked around the area. After asking, they found out that there were other survivors roaming around, which made everyone nervous.

No matter who the other party is, everyone should be on high alert and arrange more people to patrol the camp. If the other party goes out more often, they should soon discover traces of the convoy's activities, and it will not be difficult to find them.

Good news came from Lan Yuxuan. The local area network within the team has been built. As long as they use the program she wrote, everyone can chat on their mobile phones at any time and even upload photos.

The server obtained from the North Ridge base was a great help. Its total storage space has an amazing 96TB capacity, which is achieved by using 8 plug-in 12TB hard drives.

Chen Guangjun brought back two sets from the base, which together account for 192tb, which is enough for everyone to use.

The storage device was not empty, there was something inside, but Lan Yuxuan could not open it because it was encrypted information.

The data originally left by the military on the server took up 40 terabytes, but due to encryption, it could not be read.

What the army left behind must be good stuff. Wu Bin asked Lan Yuxuan to find a way to crack it. Now that they have the server, can't they get the stuff inside?

Lan Yuxuan agreed. She was an electronic information engineer, but she was not a hacker, and it would take a lot of time to crack the code.

Wu Bin hoped that it contained important information, such as a military map, which was the best thing, so he just waited for the cracking result.

The local area network can only be used in the camp. Everyone uses their mobile phones to connect to the server and downloads the application written by Lan Yuxuan.

It is somewhat similar to a previous messaging app. The pages are not exactly the same, but they are exactly the same. Its main function is chatting, so it is very simple and there are no miscellaneous mini-programs.

Lan Yuxuan uploaded another app store, which contained map software and even a few games, all of which were exported from the old phone.

Everyone was also quite curious, as it had been a long time since they had been online. Everyone had nothing but praise for Lan Yuxuan and believed that she would do better and better.

Wu Bin also suggested that she build a website for the team in her spare time, establish a database dedicated to the team, and record the information of all members.

This makes management easier.

Leng Chuan also knows how to build a website, but the difficulty lies in how to encrypt it, and anti-theft is not his strong point.

But don't worry too much for now. We are using a local area network now, and others can only connect to the local area network if they want to hack.

Lan Yuxuan set up access restrictions and entered the identification device ID. Devices other than those of the fleet could not log in. Of course, this could not effectively prevent the problem.

The most effective way is to disconnect the server connection. Lan Yuxuan will stay next to the server and terminate the connection in time if there is any abnormality.

On the day the server went online, Lan Yuxuan saw a large number of photos uploaded by everyone in the background. Fortunately, the storage space was large enough, otherwise it would have been full in just two days.

All the photos uploaded by everyone are of commemorative significance. Leng Chuan suggested to Wu Bin that they should find a few professional photo printers to print out the photos when possible. The server will always be full, unless more servers are added.

Because the server was moved to the communications vehicle, the communications vehicle had to maintain a stable power supply, and the communications vehicle was equipped with a generator for power supply.

The problem is that if the generator runs day and night, the damage to the generator will be very serious. It is best to find a dedicated power supply vehicle for the power grid.

Before the power supply vehicle is found, the communication vehicle can only use two generators to supply power in turn. It seems that we need to get a few more generators if we have the chance.

On the second day, everyone returned to normal work. Today, Qiao Xinghua and Dafeng inspected the city wall together, but Qiao Xinghua fell several times.

"Damn it, the ground is frozen. How much water did you give it?" Qiao Xinghua leaned against the wall, covering his butt with his hands, grinning.

"Haha, who told you to be so careless!"

"I walk every day, but I don't fall as much as you do...ah!"

Dafeng was also overjoyed and ended up in tragedy. He slipped and fell flat on his face.

"Haha, let you gloat over my misfortune!" Qiao Xinghua laughed. This feeling was much more painful than his own.

"Damn it, why is it so slippery today?" Dafeng rubbed the ice with his hands.

"Okay, it's the ice again, we have to go!" Qiao Xinghua said, and carefully climbed up the earth-colored ice wall along the stairs.

"This is my kingdom!" Qiao Xinghua shouted loudly.

"You are sick, you are almost a eunuch!" Dafeng climbed up and looked at the small earthen wall. It was really spectacular.

"It would be nice to have a castle!" Qiao Xinghua exclaimed, this kind of ancient building can really protect against zombies.

"Look, that's my castle over there!" Dafeng put his hand on his shoulder and pointed at the small ice castle in the distance.

"I will mercifully appoint you as the Grand Eunuch!"

"Damn it, go to hell!" Qiao Xinghua laughed and cursed: "Who cares about your little thing!"

Before they knew it, the two of them had inspected most of the area and found nothing unusual. The weather was not very cold, at least not as cold as they had imagined, but their hands and feet were indeed a little frozen.

"Hiss, hiss..., Dafeng, two people are coming towards you from the southeast!"

The walkie-talkie on the waist rang. It was Chen Guangjun's voice. He was on duty on the roof.

"Got it, will confirm it right away!" Dafeng replied, and the two of them started jogging, as the surface was slippery.

They did see two people coming towards the ice wall, and Dafeng and Qiao Xinghua stood alert with guns in hand.

"People in front, stop running!" Dafeng shouted. Qiao Xinghua secretly prepared himself to shoot immediately if something went wrong.

"Don't shoot, we are human beings!" The man immediately raised his hands and shouted.

"I know. Who are you?"

The two men stopped in front of the trench, a little out of breath, obviously having been running all the time.

“Brother…we have no ill intentions…huhuhuhu…!”

"Let's not talk about whether you have any bad intentions or not. Where are you from?" Dafeng asked vigilantly, especially after knowing that there were new survivors nearby.

"South!" one person answered.

"Yuanzhou!" another person also said.

"Can you please put down your guns first? I'm afraid of accidental discharge!"

After saying that, both of them dodged the gunshot.

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidental discharges, we'll just kill the wrong people, so you'd better be honest!" Qiao Xinghua said calmly.

There is snow everywhere now, and the appearance of these two people here is extremely suspicious.

Wu Bin came here with Chen Haitao after hearing the news. There were gunshots yesterday and someone came today. It was such a coincidence.

"What do you want to do?" Wu Bin asked as soon as he came up.

"No, we didn't mean to break in, don't get me wrong!" The two men explained. They were quite nervous because everyone had a gun.

"People? Where are the people?" Ling Xueyao's voice came from far away. There was no doubt that she came with Meng Zihan.

Wu Bin couldn't help but roll his eyes. Why did he bring her here?

"Hey, there's someone!"

The two men's eyes lit up when they saw the two women, especially since their faces were a little red from the cold.

"Can you go back first?" Wu Bin could only turn around and say to Ling Xueyao.

"I don't!" Ling Xueyao turned her head away.

"Um, can you let us in?" asked the two people below.

"Sorry, we don't accept visitors!" Wu Bin refused. What a joke! People are more dangerous than zombies.

"We really mean no harm!" the two men pleaded.

Looking at them, Ling Xueyao suddenly asked, "Where are you from?"

"Yuanzhou people, what's wrong?"

"In Yuanzhou dialect, how do you say "Have you eaten?" Ling Xueyao tilted her head and asked with a smile.

"This...?" Both of them hesitated and were reluctant to speak.

"Could it be that they can't speak it?" Ling Xueyao smiled faintly. She had heard Yuanzhou dialect before, but these two people did not speak with a Yuanzhou accent.

"We... are just outsiders living in Yuanzhou...!" Both of them forced a smile.

The others noticed something was wrong. It turned out that these two people had ulterior motives and were probably here to investigate.

"Where is your hometown?" Ling Xueyao continued.

"In...!" The two people cursed inwardly, not daring to say anything else, as they were seen through by a girl.

Receiving Wu Bin's eye signal, Dafeng immediately raised his gun.

"Behave yourself, damn!"

"It's just a misunderstanding, can't we just go away?" Although it was icy and snowy, both of them were sweating. They knew this job would not be easy when they came here.

These people must have been ambushed many times, so they are wary of everyone.

"Don't you want to come in? I'll let you in!" Wu Bin said. How could it be so easy to leave once you're here?

"No, we were lost just now, but now we have found the direction!" The two people pointed at the sun in the sky that was emitting white light and said seriously.

"No matter what you want to do, just stay!" Wu Bin said bluntly. Others raised their guns, with bullets loaded, waiting for the order.

The two people's faces suddenly turned ugly, and they probably couldn't leave safely.
