End of the World

If the four people knew that Qiao Xinghua and the others were going to look for them and would arrive at the same place one after the other, they would definitely stay.

But staying is another story, and the development direction is completely different.

The four of them stayed in Liushui Village for a day. Although there were traces of survivors' activities here, there were still many zombies. They packed up their belongings and continued on their way.

As for the rescue of the convoy, the four people discussed it and agreed that the chances were slim. But if the four people could not be found, Qiao Xinghua knew what to do.

Some people are worried about whether the team will suffer any losses that night?

After passing Liushui Village, there is a mountain road. It’s not really a mountain, it’s more appropriate to call it a hill. This road is good, there are few zombies, and there are fields covered with snow on both sides.

There are some abandoned vehicles on the road, and Chen Guangjun will check them out. If there are suitable tools, it is still possible to start them.

The vehicles were outdoors, some of them even had their hoods frozen, and the fuel tanks should also be crystal clear.

This road connects to the national highway. There will be more cars there, and you can't walk far on foot. Vehicles will go faster.

The four of them walked for a whole day and barely covered twenty miles. When calculated this way, it seemed that the distance covered by the caravan was about the same as that covered in a day when the caravan was moving slowly, but it was tiring!

After taking protective measures at night, the four of them slept almost all the time on the bed.

After daybreak, the four of them headed for a place called Shandi Town, which was not too far away. The map showed that there was a row of repair shops on the road outside the town, where they could take a short rest.

There are still a considerable number of zombies outside the town. The four of them killed the zombies blocking their way and sneaked into one of the larger repair shops.

There was a shed in the repair shop with four large vehicles stuffed inside. The four men killed the zombies in the shed.

"It's over. I should have brought Uncle Zhao out earlier!" Wu Bin looked at the four trucks. Generally speaking, trucks would not be sent to the repair shop easily unless there was something serious. Many drivers bought their cars with loans, which put a lot of pressure on them. Stopping their cars would mean a loss.

Unless it is a car that needs maintenance, a car with a high attendance rate may need maintenance three or four times a year.

"Why do you say that? It looks good!" Dafeng said, not quite understanding.

"Let's take a look first!" Chen Guangjun said, trucks are indeed troublesome.

The four men couldn't find the work order and didn't know what the four vehicles were being repaired for.

"This car looks good!" Dafeng walked around an Auman.

"The battery head has been disassembled. I'll take it back and you can try it!" Chen Guangjun found a wrench.

Dafeng turned the key in the car, but there was no response.

Chen Guangjun found a multimeter and found that there was no problem with the battery voltage.

"Stop struggling, the car won't move!" Wu Bin was holding a cylindrical object in his hand.

"What is this?" Dafeng asked.

"Hmm... I think it's called something..." Wu Bin thought hard and said, "I remember it's called a magnetic switch. You should have experienced it before. It makes a clicking sound when you turn on the power. That's it!"

Chen Guangjun understood that if this thing was broken, how could the car get power?

"Can it be connected directly to the power supply? I don't want this!" Dafeng said.

Wu Bin spread his hands and said, who knows? Maybe it is possible, but large vehicles will leak electricity too quickly.

"Those three cars won't work!" He Yuxin came back.

"The engine of one car was dismantled, the transmission shaft underneath another car was removed, and the wheels of the last car were all removed!"

If Zhao Bofeng was present at this time, it might be very simple, as none of the four of them would know how to repair the car.

"If that's the case, promise me, we won't come to the repair shop next time!" Dafeng was helpless after hearing this.

"Let's go and have a look at the car where the wheels are unloaded!" Wu Bin thought that generally car repairs would not remove all the wheels, it might be for maintenance.

The four people looked around and it seemed that nothing except the wheels moved. Dafeng turned on the power, turned the key, and the dashboard lit up.

“This car should be able to move!”

"I think we can just remove the switch and install it on the car over there!" Chen Guangjun said, to avoid installing ten wheels.

The three thought it made sense, but when He Yuxin opened the passenger door, she found that O'Man was still repairing the car computer and many wires had been pulled out.

It seems that it is inevitable to install wheels. This is an Isuzu rear eight-wheel van. The car looks quite old. To be on the safe side, I will install the front and rear six wheels first.

Originally, this car was supposed to be serviced. I applied butter to the bearings, sanded the brake pads, and then reinstalled the wheels.

Simply install it and try to start it. The starter makes the engine start to turn with a click. After a few times, the exhaust pipe belches black smoke and the engine starts to turn with a roar.

It seemed that there was no big problem, so the four of them reinstalled the wheel. There was no pneumatic wrench to increase the force on the tire screws, so they could only use a longer socket wrench, but there was a small accident.

The sleeve used was not hard enough and broke with a snap.

"Huh, it's finally installed!" Dafeng let out a long breath, the tire is really heavy.

"It would be great if there was electricity!" Chen Guangjun found the welding machine, but couldn't find a generator after searching the entire repair shop.

As for the legendary wind welding, several people had never seen it.

The four of them filled the vehicle with diesel, collected usable items from the repair shop, and loaded them all onto the vehicle.

After resting for a night in the repair shop, the four of them were ready to set off the next morning. There was a small berth in the back seat of the vehicle's driver's seat, which was just enough for four people.

This would have been absolutely unacceptable in the past. Two people were required to sit in the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat was also designed for drivers to take turns to rest. If there was one more person, they would have to pay a fine.

The noise we made yesterday attracted some zombies, but they dispersed after a night. Chen Guangjun quietly opened the door and returned to the car.

The truck rushed out of the repair shop, and the zombies realized that they could not catch up with the vehicle.

"The current road is a national highway, and there will be more buildings on both sides of the road!" He Yuxin sat in the passenger seat as a navigator, while Wu Bin and Dafeng sat obediently in the back.

"As long as the road is clear, there will be no problem!" Chen Guangjun drove seriously, looked at the dashboard and said, "I found that the brakes of this car are not so good!"

"Dafeng, didn't you smear butter on the brake hub yesterday?" Wu Bin looked at Dafeng from behind.

"How is it possible? This is not happening!" Dafeng felt a little guilty and his tone was not so firm.

That's not right. Although he accidentally dropped some grease, he wiped it off later. How could it affect the brakes? This car has six brakes in front and back!

"It shouldn't be!" Chen Guangjun said, "I feel like the front wheel doesn't have any brakes, and the road is slippery, so maybe I'm wrong!"

"No brakes on the front wheels?" Wu Bin was confused. It would be understandable if the trailer had no brakes on the front wheels. It was just a personal driving habit.

For example, Wang Zhong, the front wheel brakes of the trailer he drove were dismantled, but this was a van, so it was not necessary at all.

Maybe the front wheel brake is really broken. I will check it carefully during the break.

After getting a car, the four of them could travel farther. It was estimated that Qiao Xinghua and the others had not yet set off, so the four of them were not in a hurry and found a place to rest for a few days, mainly to fix the car.

He Yuxin helped find a perfect location. There was a reservoir to the west of the four people's location. From the map, it looked smaller than the Nanchong Lake Reservoir in Dongzhou City.

"Reservoir?" Dafeng thought of bad memories when he heard it. He met the insect boss when he went to Nanchong Lake Reservoir with the troops.

Fortunately, the four people were not discovered at that time and went in the direction of the main force.

Wu Bin's face looked a little unnatural. The location was secluded, which was good because there were no zombies. But who knew if there were any insects? Insects seemed to like places with lots of water.

"Is there any problem?" Chen Guangjun noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.

Wu Bin briefly described what he saw at the Nanchong Lake Reservoir.

"Since you have doubts in this regard, let's go to another place!" said Chen Guangjun. He knew more about corpse moths.

The military discovered in the original shelter that insects like places with plenty of water sources, perhaps because they have needs, such as spreading viruses.

In fact, corpse moths do like to pollute water sources, of course only surface water.

At present, the insects generally parasitize in corpses, so wild animals are also in danger. So far, we have only seen zombie dogs infected with the virus.

If the bugs parasitize other animals, will there be new animal zombies, or will the bugs kill the wild animal hosts when they grow up?

He Yuxin found another place. Not far from the reservoir, there was a pond and some buildings, which was deep in the mountains.

The pond was not too repulsive. Didn't we encounter the refugee troops in the fish pond when we first came out? It couldn't be said that we met, but we were recruited.

I don't know what happened to the shelter after I left. The situation was very tense at the beginning, with the recent fall of Longshan and the spread of a new plague in the shelter.

Wu Bin was very grateful to Zhu Zhenguo, who helped him a lot in the shelter. He left in a hurry and in a mess, and did not have time to say thank you.

The intrusion of the vehicle broke the tranquility of the pond. There was nothing unusual except two unknown large birds that were startled and flew away.

"You stay in the car, Dafeng and I will check it!" Chen Guangjun said to Wu Bin.

Dafeng grabbed the gun and got out of the car with Chen Guangjun, and He Yuxin moved from the co-pilot seat to the driver's seat to deal with any possible danger.

This is a five-story building, covering an area of ​​about 200 square meters. It looks very new from the outside and was built only a few years ago.

It is true that tall houses are built only in remote areas. In the city, you may not be able to find a decent house even if you spend one or two million.

It is already possible to build a small villa in the countryside. I don’t understand why people are trying so hard to squeeze into the city. This is good. Having nothing in the end times is also a disguised way of owning everything.

"It would be great to live in this building!" Dafeng has always dreamed of owning a building like this. It would be even better if he could collect rent from it in the city of Dongzhou.

"This remote area is good because it has a quiet environment!" Chen Guangjun sighed. He does have a small house in the city.

The four people here were the first group of visitors. After Chen Guangjun pried open the lock, a slight stench immediately came from the house. It seemed that the owner and his family were all inside.

There were no corpses or bloodstains on the first floor. The stench came from upstairs, and because the stench could not dissipate, the smell in the house was disgusting.

There was a garage on the first floor with a BMW sedan parked in it. The two men groped their way upstairs. Chen Guangjun knocked on the stairs with a metal pipe, making a clanging metallic sound.
