End of the World

They were cautious and the bulldozer stopped more than 400 meters away from the city wall. The grenade thrown by Dafeng earlier had a deterrent effect.

But this is not what Wu Bin wants. The possible hidden dangers must be eliminated, and blowing up the bulldozer is undoubtedly the best way.

"Okay!" Chen Haitao gave a thumbs up in the direction of the forklift and measured the distance.

Dafeng understood and carefully took out the shells from the ammunition box. Qiao Xinghua also raised the 7.62 medium machine gun and pointed it at the pickup truck.

"Tom!"

"call out-"

"boom!"

The first artillery attack would deviate from the target to some extent, which was not too outrageous, so Chen Haitao quickly corrected it.

"Tom!"

The second shell followed immediately, with only ten seconds between the two shells, and the bulldozer driver had already reacted.

He was terrified at the moment. The modified bulldozer could defend against bullets, but it could not defend against the shells falling from the sky.

The forklift's engine roared and spewed out large gulps of black smoke, but it was not a nimble vehicle and was slow to start.

If the forklift driver had decisively abandoned the vehicle, there might have been a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately...

The shell hit the shovel arm, or to be more precise, the hydraulic rod. The lifting hydraulic rod was deformed and warm hydraulic oil was pouring out.

The forklift's engine was rear-mounted, so it was still turning in an attempt to escape.

The third shell hit, and the bulldozer driver's luck ran out. The shell hit the cab directly. Although it was a high-explosive shell, its power should not be underestimated.

The explosion deformed the welded steel plates on the roof but did not penetrate the plates directly. The hot bullet stream rushed in through the cracks and killed the forklift driver.

At the same time, the high temperature ignited the cab, and wisps of black smoke began to emerge.

"Da da da!" Qiao Xinghua's machine gun also opened fire, and several people in the back of the pickup truck ventured into the vehicle.

The pickup truck had a reinforced body and was no match for the machine gun. Fortunately, someone started the vehicle and fled with the survivors.

Qiao Xinghua broke their tires, and the pickup truck miraculously did not break down, carrying them farther and farther away.

Moving vehicles were difficult to hit, so Chen Haitao gave up the shelling and let them go. The other side suffered heavy losses anyway.

The gunman on the hill didn't dare to show up easily, but in this situation his position could still be determined because there was an expert present.

The 88 sniper rifle in Chen Guangjun's hand is the same as the one in the opposite gunman's hand. It was taken from the survivors in Nanling Town.

The one in He Yuxin's hand is better, a CSLR high-precision sniper rifle, a new generation of military and police standard equipment.

Chen Haitao turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed it towards the hill, but he didn't know the exact location of the sniper, so Chen Guangjun aimed at the snow pile and fired a shot.

Chen Haitao put down the telescope and began to adjust the mortar.

"All right!"

Chen Haitao's voice came from the intercom, and Chen Guangjun said, "Hold steady, wait for the sniper to come out, don't show any mercy!"

"Yeah!" He Yuxin responded softly without moving.

Dafeng took another shell. Chen Haitao nodded to him. Dafeng stepped forward and put the shell into the muzzle, trying to force the sniper out.

"Tom!"

There was a faint flash of light from the muzzle, and the shell slammed heavily into the hill with the sound of breaking wind.

The initial velocity of the mortar shell is too low, and an experienced sniper can still avoid it at such a long distance.

Chen Guangjun knew this very well, so he stared at the snow mound closely.

The same thing happened to Chen Haitao. He went to Dafeng and fired three rapid shots. If he still missed the target, it would be a waste of shells to fire more.

As soon as the first shell was launched into the air, the second shell was put into the muzzle, followed by the third shell.

At the last moment before the shell fell, the sniper took action and released a bait, which was a snowball, but neither Chen Guangjun nor He Yuxin fired.

In comparison, the two of them are not under much pressure.

The sniper didn't care too much. If he didn't move, he would be bombarded. He stood up and jumped, flying to the other side.

"Boom!"

Two gunshots were heard, almost at the same time. The bullets flew past the opponent's back, and the opponent fell to the ground and rolled in pain.

The shells also arrived, but they didn't explode. The sniper was roughly out of the killing range, and the snow absorbed some of the power, so only some of the blast hit him.

Two or three shells flew over, but they naturally would not explode in the same crater. The opponent was lucky. The three shells did not hurt him at all, but only splashed him with ice and snow.

However, the explosion of the shell blocked the two people's vision, making it impossible to see the figures clearly, and instead provided them with cover.

I couldn't see the human figure clearly, so I just hoped that the artillery shells would take care of him.

"He must have run away!" Chen Guangjun put down his gun.

He Yuxin still maintained it, her arms were already a little sore.

Suddenly, He Yuxin saw a vague human figure through the lingering smoke and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

The bullet flew towards the figure, and Chen Guangjun immediately raised his gun.

"How was it? Did you hit it?"

"I don't know, it disappeared!" He Yuxin shook her head. She was not sure, maybe she was dazzled.

"The target has been sighted. Dafeng, Haitao, go over and check it out!" Chen Guangjun picked up the walkie-talkie.

Two people continued to set up their guns, while three people on the other side drove the Sabretooth out to the explosion point on the hill.

There were three fresh pits on the ground, which were left by mortar shells. Chen Haitao dug up the nearby surface soil and found a 7.62 shell.

This was indeed a sniper point, and he only fired one bullet.

"Look around!"

Dafeng and Qiao Xinghua nodded, and the three of them dispersed. No body was found, but Chen Haitao found bloodstains and messy footprints.

"Brother Tao, what should we do?" Both of them looked at Chen Haitao.

Chen Haitao looked at the direction of the footprints and said, "He is seriously injured, he can't walk far, let's catch up and see!"

The two men had no objection, so the three of them checked their guns and followed the footprints. Not far away, the footprints disappeared on a road, and a clear tire track appeared on the highway.

"It seems that someone is here to support us. Let's retreat!" Although Chen Haitao was reluctant, he led the two back to the Sabretooth Tiger.

"How is it?" The three of them came back and Wu Bin stepped forward to ask.

"It's a pity that he ran away!" Chen Haitao sighed.

"It's okay, we have no losses!" Wu Bin was not entangled.

"It's fine as long as everyone is alright, gather everyone and let's have a meeting!"

Everyone already knows what happened, and the next step is to discuss countermeasures. Since leaving the shelter until now, we have exchanged fire with the survivors several times.

There is no way around it. For the convoy, it would not be a good thing to encounter another team of survivors.

"I've really had enough. Why is it that nothing good happens every time I meet other people?" Meng Zihan complained dissatisfiedly.

Qiao Xinghua could only go up to comfort them, and the others were in the same mood.

"Well, this is why we should discuss this together. If they withdraw, they will probably organize a revenge!" Wu Bin pressed his hand, signaling for silence.

"Yes, I would be angry too!" Dafeng said. It seemed that there was no right or wrong in this kind of thing.

You came to attack me, I fought back in self-defense and killed your people, and you came back for revenge. Right or wrong is no longer important.

"So is our approach wrong?" Li Xun thought.

"An Jing, what kind of world is this now? Right and wrong are always relative!" Wu Bin said again: "It's meaningless to discuss right and wrong. They will come to retaliate. What should we do?"

Everyone is silent, revealing their strength. They should not attack again easily, but there are not only people but also zombies outside, so the situation is very complicated.

"Let's prepare early. We have been here for almost ten days and we still don't understand the situation clearly!" Zhao Bofeng said.

"There shouldn't be a large-scale group of zombies, but we can't rule out the possibility that someone is luring them in!" said the silent Chen Guangjun.

If you can't do it yourself, you can always use other resources.

Everyone nodded. After going through so much, they could easily understand that after the end of the world, instead of believing that all people are evil, they should not trust the goodness in people’s hearts.

I myself am an example. It is always the environment that influences human nature.

"So, just after settling down for a while, we have to set out on the road again!" Chen Haitao couldn't help but sigh.

“Is it suitable for driving now?”

"The impact is not too big for now, provided it stops snowing!" Zhao Bofeng said. There is not much snow here, but the situation gets worse the further north you go.

"If we have to leave, everyone must pay attention to driving safety. Driving in the snow is different from usual!" Wang Zhong also said.

It is very dangerous to drive rashly in winter. No one knows much about the situation in the north, but we used to often see snow disasters in certain places in the news.

We are all from the south and have rarely seen snow, let alone a snowstorm, which is simply unimaginable.

We just discussed the retreat. No matter how we looked at it, it was impossible to survive the winter here.

If we target those people, I'm afraid it will cost a huge price, so it's unnecessary.

It's not that everyone has good intentions. Relatively speaking, the other party is suffering a great loss, so there is no need for us to fight to the death with them. Of course, the most important consideration is strength.

The loss of any person in the team will be a blow to the team. It is difficult to recruit a new person now, but it is much easier if one person dies.

"Waiting for their revenge...it's very uncomfortable. They also have snipers. Everyone should not go out easily!" Wu Bin issued a curfew.

"As for the camp, we will arrange three groups of people to take turns, so everyone will have to work harder!" Wu Bin began to announce the resolution.

"We need two teams on duty during the day, and one team on duty all night!"

"During the day, two teams will be divided into camp guard and fence patrol. There will be one or two vehicles on standby at any time!"

"It's simpler at night. Everyone can sleep together. The warning area is only near the greenhouse!" said Wu Bin.

The detail is that the night group rests during the day, but is on standby and ready to provide support at any time if any situation arises, and the same is true at night.

There is no way. There are still too few people. People like An Wenwen and Fang Xiaoyun cannot be considered as combat effectiveness.

Everyone had a bitter look on their faces, but no one objected. Wu Bin asked a few people to stay. Since they were leaving, they needed to plan a direction and destination.

Maybe you are only on duty for a few days. After planning the route and completing all vehicle inspections, you have to leave regardless of whether the other party comes to retaliate or not.

Wu Bin got good news from Lan Yuxuan. She had collected many cameras and could build a simple surveillance and warning network.
