End of the World

The four were then invited to the reception room next door. Perhaps because they had guns in their hands, the police treated them rather politely and even gave them some candies.

"Ruonan, where are they from?" On the other side, the man who was trying to smooth things over asked. The main reason was that they had guns in their hands and they couldn't be careless.

"They came from Dongzhou!" Mu Ruonan sat down and said.

"Dongzhou?" Others were surprised, because Dongzhou City is a province away from here.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure enough, their accent is definitely from Dongzhou!"

"Haha, it seems they have come from far away. I'm curious about their story!" said the man who was trying to smooth things over.

"So, how do they plan?" asked the man who Ruonan didn't like very much.

"Keep calm, we can make some exceptions!" said the man who was trying to smooth things over. The four of them came from such a far distance, and they had some good points in themselves, if they could be won over.

"You guys chat slowly, I'll take them downstairs to rest!" Mu Ruonan finished the water in the cup, stood up and walked towards the reception room.

The four of them followed Mu Ruonan to the residential area.

"During the last batch of construction, we just happened to build a few more rooms, so you don't have to stay in the temporary dormitory!"

Mu Ruonan led the four people to a house that still smelled of fresh wood: "This is it, it's 30 square meters, including a small kitchen, the bathroom is over there, usually it's a public bathroom!"

"Okay, then thank you Miss Mu!" Wu Bin said politely.

Mu Ruonan smiled. It was the first time someone called her Miss Mu. Others usually called her Miss Mu or President Mu.

"You're welcome!"

Then she turned her gaze to He Yuxin: "Do you live alone or with me?"

The campsite has separate housing for men and women to prevent malicious incidents, which have happened in the past. Unless they are a couple, men and women cannot live together.

"I'm used to being with everyone!" He Yuxin said with a smile. She was not afraid of what the two of them would do to her. After being partners for so long, they still had some trust in each other.

"Is that so...Okay!" Mu Ruonan was a little surprised, but then he thought, they are all companions who have been with him all the way, and have experienced life and death ordeals. To put it bluntly, it is safer to be with them than with himself.

"Since you insist, I won't say anything. It's a bit crowded for four people to live together. I'll change the room for you!" Mu Ruonan said after thinking for a while.

Then he took the four people to a small courtyard. This room was much larger, with a small attic on the second floor and a separate bathroom in the yard. It was obviously a VLP suite.

"I hope you don't despise me. A loving couple once lived here. Then the husband had an accident and his wife hanged herself on a tree in the yard not long after!" Mu Ruonan briefly stated. This was a tragedy.

"That tree stump in the corner of the yard, we cut it down later!"

"It doesn't matter. We have seen many dead people along the way. We won't mind!"

The four of them expressed their gratitude. After all, this courtyard was much better than the small house they just had.

"Okay, then this will be your house from now on. If you want to expand, remember to apply first. Of course, I hope you can stop!" Mu Ruonan said sincerely. She thought that people who could make a living outside were very amazing.

The key is that the camp is self-contained and has little understanding of the outside world. It is said to be isolated from the world, but in fact it is self-shielding and has limited ability to deal with crises. The experience of these four people is very important to the camp.

The four of them were silent. They were going to look for the convoy and were destined not to stop here. If the entire convoy was there, perhaps they would be able to stay.

Mu Ruonan had delivered his message, and the remaining four people were left to consider it. They told them that someone would bring them dinner and then left.

"Brother Bin, how should we respond?" Dafeng asked after Mu Ruonan walked away.

"I don't know. The latest we can do is wait until the snow melts!" Wu Bin sighed. Although he hadn't taken a close look at the campsite, his first impression was that it was pretty good.

"She obviously wants us to stay. Unless she directly refuses, it would be unfair for us to leave after the spring!" said Chen Guangjun.

"Then shall we leave in two days?" Dafeng said.

"No, if you want to leave, do it now, otherwise it will be very troublesome!" He Yuxin said.

"Come to think of it, you two can stay. Dafeng and I will go and bring Qiao Xinghua over!" Chen Guangjun joked.

"Yes, Brother Bin and sister-in-law will stay to start the artificial human plan, and Brother Jun and I will go find that kid Xinghua!" Dafeng agreed.

Speaking of having a baby, He Yuxin wanted to kick him. Can he just keep talking about it for no reason?

"No, we all came here together, so of course we will leave together!" Wu Bin said seriously. He was the captain, at least in name. In reality, many plans were the result of discussions among everyone.

"Then tell Mu Ruonan tonight that you'll stay for one night and leave tomorrow!" Chen Guangjun said. Just as He Yuxin said, delaying too long would only cause more trouble. Since he didn't plan to stay long, he shouldn't have any attachment.

No one cleaned up the house and just sat there quietly. Time passed by. In the evening, there was a commotion in the camp. It turned out that the logging team had returned.

The best logs are piled up in the open space of the sawmill. They will soon be cut into rough boards and then go through several sanding processes to become usable solid wood boards.

Mu Ruonan came personally to deliver meals to the four people. The meal was quite rich, with vegetables, eggs, and canned luncheon meat. I believe that she herself did not eat that well.

"Miss Mu is too polite. We can just deal with her simply!" Wu Bin said with a sigh.

"I'm not being polite with you. This is basic hospitality!" Mu Ruonan said.

Chen Guangjun glanced at Wu Bin and said, "We plan to leave tomorrow!"

Mu Ruonan paused for a moment, but when she came over and saw that the four people had not cleaned the house, she guessed it.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. You have your own reasons for leaving, but we are being rude!" Mu Ruonan felt a little disappointed.

"Thank you again for your hospitality!" Chen Guangjun said, clasping his hands together.

If the other person respects you, you should give him/her an inch in return.

Mu Ruonan forced a smile, put down the food, and quietly packed up and left.

"No matter what others think, this girl sincerely wants us to stay!" Chen Guangjun also sighed.

"Forget it, don't think too much, so as not to be sad!"

Just looking at the things that were delivered to them, the four of them really didn't want to eat anything. These people could be considered friendly survivors.

As night fell, candles were lit in the cabin. These were not industrial candles, but ones made from animal fats. It seemed that there were craftsmen in this camp.

Only three of them had something on their minds, and Dafeng had already fallen asleep on the table.

Although there is a generator in the camp, it cannot afford electric lights. The generator is mainly used to power the sawmill. It runs all day and has to stop for maintenance at night.

The camp was very quiet, with only faint lights flickering, and the guards on duty at night were relatively relaxed. Since the camp was established, there have been few zombie attacks.

What's more, there is a high wooden wall, so the zombies can't get in at all.

Tonight, however, there was an accident. A fire suddenly broke out on the east wall of the camp and the night watchmen rushed there immediately.

Mu Ruonan's house was closer to the east wall, so she rushed to the scene first.

"How did the fire start? Who's on patrol tonight on the east side?"

"It's Lao Zhang and Xiao Yang!" replied a man, who was also one of the night patrolmen.

"Where are they?" Mu Ruonan looked around.

Several people worked together to put out the fire. It turned out that the fire tray had fallen over. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the wood of the wooden fence was wet, so it did not cause a fire.

"Wait, look, this seems to be blood!" After putting out the fire, someone found blood on the ground, which was particularly eye-catching under the snow.

"what!"

Suddenly a scream came from the south wall.

"Go and have a look!"

Everyone ignored the bloodstains and rushed to the south side.

"how so!"

When everyone arrived, they were stunned by the scene before them. They saw steaming blood all over the ground, and half a person with intestines dragging out.

"vomit!"

Several people vomited. They had never seen such a scene before.

“Cough cough! Ugh…!”

"Huh... That should be Zhong Xin!" Feng Baiyuan, who was on night patrol, recognized the body. Although the head was gone, the clothes looked familiar.

"Hurry, go and ring the bell... A terrible monster has broken in!" Mu Ruonan's pretty face turned pale. Several men couldn't hold on, let alone her.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The bronze bell representing the alarm was rung, and the quiet camp immediately became a little restless.

"Dong dong!"

The bell continued to ring, and two dark red figures came over when they heard the sound. The people who rang the bell were scared out of their wits. What kind of monster was this!

"Whizzing!"

Several arrows flew out, but none of them hit vital points. The Night Zombie leaped up and swung its claws down, instead ripping open the stomachs of the two attackers on the spot.

The remaining few people were immediately frightened and fled in all directions. It was too horrible. This was completely different from the zombies they had seen before.

"What's going on outside?" Several men ran out of the management hall. They heard the alarm, but no one came to report it.

"Give!"

Several people took out guns one after another, including pistols, muskets, and better shotguns.

There is a reason why they are managers, they just don't exploit others.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Several people had guns in their hands and were not afraid. They rushed directly to the bell tower, only to see two people with their stomachs ripped open.

"Oh my God, what happened!" Several people felt a chill. The two men had already died and did not answer them.

"Let's go back first!" said the leading man. It was stupid to rush over blindly. Perhaps he also wanted to show off and increase his reputation.

And now, damn reputation, his life might even be in danger.

Several people returned to the management hall, and coincidentally, two night zombies also came here.

No one expected it to be so lucky.

"Boom!"

Several guns fired randomly, and although they hit the target, they missed the vital points. Apart from their identities as camp managers, they were just ordinary survivors.

"do not come!"

"what!"

The two night zombies pounced on each of them and pierced their chests with their sharp tongues. Their vision gradually became dim.
