End of the World

The two people who were traveling drove Sabretooth Tigers and carried the individual radios on the communication vehicle. Like Wu Bin and his four companions, they also chose to cross the river downstream.

This was a tacit understanding among companions, mainly because Qiao Xinghua discovered that from the perspective of the other side of the river, the downstream was safer.

The four of them have not returned yet, they must have been delayed by something.

Compared with Wu Bin and his four companions, Qiao Xinghua and his two companions had a lot of trouble reaching the downstream, and it took them almost a whole day to walk the 20 kilometers.

While it was still light, the two men went to the bridge and found that it had been broken a long time ago.

According to the map, there is a highway bridge nearby, but time does not permit, so we have to wait until the next day.

It is simple for two people, they can sleep in the car and find a secluded place, no need to look for shelter.

We continued to move forward after dawn. It took some time to get on the highway because the entrance to the highway was on the other side of the river.

The highway bridge was intact, which made Qiao Xinghua very suspicious. Logically, no matter how slow Wu Bin and his four companions were, they should have arrived here. Something might have really happened.

Chen Haitao has been trying to contact the four people, but there has been no response.

The two were driving on the highway and soon discovered small potholes on the road. Chen Haitao got out of the car to check and confirmed that they were left by a machine gun.

Judging from the holes, they should have been swept down from the sky, which means they were left by aircraft cannons. The marks are very new and not covered by snow, so they must have been formed recently.

Sabretooth continued to move forward and soon reached the entrance of the tunnel. The tunnels on both sides collapsed and the two men got out of the car. This was not an accident, but was caused by external forces.

"The exposed soil is very fresh. It was formed in the past few days!" Chen Haitao grabbed a handful of soil and threw it away.

"What on earth happened here?" Qiao Xinghua half-knelt down and picked up the fallen rubble.

"Maybe something unfriendly!" Chen Haitao turned and looked at the opposite lane and found fresh tire marks on the road.

"This pattern looks like that of a chariot!" Chen Haitao just noticed it on the road he came from, but there were other wheel marks overlapping on the road surface, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Hmm! The width is similar!" Qiao Xinghua measured it and was just wondering why the vehicle suddenly turned in the opposite direction through the gap.

"The answer is in the tunnel. Let's go to the other side and take a look!" said Chen Haitao.

After locking the car, the two men found a location, climbed up the hill, and discovered new footprints in the vent at the top.

"This is very interesting, come and take a look!" Chen Haitao said after looking at the pipe.

"Someone came out from inside?" Qiao Xinghua saw traces inside the tube.

"My guess was right. This pipe should be almost vertical. Anyone who can get out of it must be very capable!" Chen Haitao smiled faintly.

"That's how Jun and I got out of that dark warehouse, but Jun is better than me!"

"Are you sure the four people came out from inside?" Qiao Xinghua asked, ignoring his disguised boasting.

"Although I don't know who they have offended, it seems that both ends of the tunnel are blocked!" Chen Haitao was actually not sure.

"We have to go in and take a look!"

"This...!" Qiao Xinghua saw the pitch-black pipe and was frightened when he thought that it was vertical. How could he get in?

"There is only one person's trace here. Maybe it's not them, but we need to check it out!" Chen Haitao said. His intuition told him that he was right.

"There's a rope on the car, we have to go back!"

So the two men returned to the car, took enough ropes, went back to the ventilation vent, fixed the ropes, and Chen Haitao went in first.

Qiao Xinghua took a deep breath and followed. Like Dafeng, he hated this narrow and dark space.

The height of the pipeline is about 40 meters, but it is not easy to get out of it, even for professionals. The pipeline has not been cleaned for a long time, there is too much dust and the pipe wall is very slippery.

"So that's it!" When Chen Haitao got to the bottom, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder there was only one person's mark.

The grille next to it was removed, and the two tunnels shared one air outlet.

"The number of people is almost the same, let's go inside and take a look!" said Chen Haitao.

The two men followed the pipe into the small pump room and found more traces. It seemed that someone was injured and there was blood-stained cotton on the ground.

Chen Haitao came to the door and knocked on the iron door with the butt of his gun. Instantly, the roar of zombies was heard and the door began to shake.

"Let's go! There is a ventilation hole on the top of the tunnel!" Chen Haitao stepped back. There seemed to be quite a few zombies behind the door.

The two men climbed back to the ventilation duct, and at this time, Chen Haitao seemed to feel a slight vibration, accompanied by the sound of falling gravel.

"No, crawl forward!"

The tunnel was hit by two explosions, and the tunnel walls were already covered with cracks. Collapse was inevitable, but the two men seemed to be unlucky and happened to be there when it collapsed.

"Boom!"

A large section of the tunnel roof collapsed, exposing the ventilation pipes that had already been squeezed and deformed.

"careful!"

Chen Haitao at the back shouted that the ventilation pipe had a tendency to fall down and the rivets at the joints had already protruded.

The two men sped up, but the pipe couldn't bear the weight and fell down after losing its support, taking Chen Haitao with it.

"Brother Tao!" Qiao Xinghua shouted anxiously.

"Ahem! I'm fine!" Chen Haitao climbed out of the pipe. Fortunately, all the zombies underneath were buried.

"Watch your back!"

Zombies from other directions have already heard the sound and are coming. Although it is pitch dark, the zombies do not rely mainly on vision, so there are no restrictions.

"You go first!" Chen Haitao waved to Qiao Xinghua. He was not safe.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Chen Haitao opened fire and several zombies he saw were killed.

"Ho ho!" The appearance of living people made the zombies extremely excited.

Seeing more zombies coming, Chen Haitao originally wanted to throw a grenade, but the tunnel wall might not be able to hold on. Looking at the gap where dust was falling, Chen Haitao could only use his gun to block it.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

For some reason there were so many zombies in the tunnel, so Chen Haitao had to change his position.

The collapse of the tunnel did not stop. Some of the fallen earth buried the zombies, and the ventilation pipe where Qiao Xinghua was originally staying fell down with a clang.

Chen Haitao ran and followed the flashlight to see an infantry fighting vehicle facing up. There were some zombie corpses beside the vehicle. He felt a vibration above his head, and Chen Haitao threw himself into the infantry fighting vehicle.

"rumble!"

The roof of the tunnel collapsed again, burying most of the infantry fighting vehicle and also burying the pursuing zombies in the ground.

Chen Haitao was safe thanks to the blocking of the infantry fighting vehicle. He could not stay there for long, so he crawled out from behind the infantry fighting vehicle.

The collapsed earth raised dust that filled the road, causing great obstacles for Chen Haitao. Not far away, he saw an SUV with its door open, and Chen Haitao decisively got into the car.

The roof of the tunnel did not collapse completely, but a lot of dirt and rubble fell out of the huge gap. If we continued like this, we would either be buried alive or choked to death by the dust.

Chen Haitao brushed off the dust on his head and checked the vehicle under the light. Unfortunately, the power was off and the key was in the car, but the one-button start did not respond.

There was another loud rumbling sound, and a piece of land collapsed in the deeper tunnel. The zombies didn't know what was going on, so they ran towards the sound. Chen Haitao breathed a sigh of relief, as they were temporarily out of trouble.

But he had to leave quickly, as Chen Haitao didn't want to be buried with the zombies.

After the ventilation pipe fell, the ventilation outlet was already on the left side of the tunnel, a little high from the ground, so Chen Haitao had to find something to stand on.

I remembered there seemed to be a folding ladder on the chariot, so I had to fold it back.

As luck would have it, just as he got the ladder, the top of his head collapsed again. This time, the infantry fighting vehicle was going to be completely buried under the loess. The zombies came when they heard the sound.

"Bad luck! I guess I need to prepare a lunar calendar before going out next time!" Chen Haitao was helpless.

He dragged the ladder towards the vent.

"Let's die together!" Chen Haitao made up his mind, pulled the ring of the grenade and threw it at the zombies running towards him.

"boom!"

Several zombies were blown away. Due to the impact of the grenade, the top of the tunnel collapsed again. Chen Haitao set up a ladder, but it was still half a level short.

He pushed hard with his feet and jumped up on the spot, just able to grab the edge of the ventilation duct. Qiao Xinghua did not leave, but he walked a little further away due to the landslide.

Hearing the noise and seeing Chen Haitao's hand grabbing the edge, he hurried forward to help. Chen Haitao grabbed it tightly, and the sharp edge cut his palm.

The blood gushed out, making the metal pipe slippery and gradually losing its grip. Chen Haitao looked down and found that there was no foothold. The zombies had surrounded him and he was like a piece of meat hanging in mid-air.

Just when he was about to let go and accept his fate, Qiao Xinghua rushed over and grabbed his hand.

"Come on! Hold on tight!"

Qiao Xinghua handed over the rope around his waist.

Chen Haitao held on tightly, and Qiao Xinghua used all his strength to pull him up!

"Thank goodness you acted quickly!" Chen Haitao was still frightened.

Qiao Xinghua waved his hand and untied the rope around his waist. Only then did Chen Haitao notice that the rope around his waist was very tight.

"I'm helping you, why is it a slipknot?"

"This knot is too difficult to untie!" Qiao Xinghua replied.

"...Hahaha!" Chen Haitao laughed and said, "Don't try this next time. I owe you one!"

This is not a place to stay for long, so the two of them took a rest and then left.

"Hoohoo! It's finally out!"

The two men climbed out of the ventilation duct one after another, lying on the ground and breathing heavily. They had not been in there for long, but it seemed like they had experienced a lot.

"The captain and the others have already left here!" Chen Haitao sat up and looked around before speaking.

"I found a badly damaged infantry fighting vehicle inside. It looks like they are in big trouble!"

"What on earth happened here?" Qiao Xinghua frowned.

"Remember the bomb craters on the road? It must have been attacked by an airplane!" Although Chen Haitao did not carefully check the infantry fighting vehicle, the traces of the explosion were too obvious.

"Why?" Qiao Xinghua was puzzled. Why would planes attack randomly for no reason?

"I'm not sure. Next time I see a plane, I'll just hide!" Chen Haitao shook his head. Judging from the collapsed tunnel, the plane was about to be killed.

As they were not sure where the four people were going, the two went back to the car first. Logically, the four people had just left not long ago and they should not have walked far since they were on foot.

Qiao Xinghua referred to the map and felt that it was more likely that the group would head north to Liushui Village, as the four of them had a map in their hands.

However, the tunnel ahead was blocked and could not be passed through, so they had to take a detour, which would lose a lot of time, and then a dramatic scene happened.

As soon as Qiao Xinghua and his companions entered the village, Wu Bin and his four companions left the village, successfully avoiding each other. Later, the two of them learned through their individual radio stations that something had happened to the convoy and had to give up looking for it and return to the convoy.
