End of the World

"Boom!"

With a gunshot, the zombies not far away fell down. He Yuxin raised her gun and pointed it at the four men. She was really impatient.

"roll!"

Wu Bin was a little surprised. It was the first time he saw her like this.

The gunshots woke up the other side. They had no right to negotiate terms, so they could only put down their bows and slowly retreat.

Chen Guangjun lowered his gun: "Get out of here before we change our minds!"

Although the other party found it unbelievable, they still took their people away quickly, fearing that Wu Bin and the others would go back on their word.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go!" Wu Bin glanced at the excited zombies. The sound of gunfire had an incredible attraction to them.

When Liu Xiaoying saw the bow that the man put on the ground, she wanted to go over and pick it up, but Yan Nuoling stopped her. There must be a reason why these four people did this.

"Brother Bin, why are we leaving in such a hurry?"

Not far away, Dafeng couldn't help but speak. It was too easy for them to let Jun go so easily after their sneak attack.

"They have infectious diseases. Killing them will not benefit us!" Wu Bin said, slowing down his pace.

"The plague in the shelter?" Chen Guangjun asked.

"I saw two women with rashes on their bodies!" He Yuxin said, regardless of whether it was a misjudgment or not, there was no benefit in contacting them.

Several people nodded, only Yan Nuoling and the others were a little confused. It was obvious that the four of them would not explain to them that being together did not mean they were in the same group, so they were all on guard against each other.

The group found a clean water source and cleaned themselves. No one knew how the plague spread.

The outbreak of plague here made everyone feel heavy-hearted. Like zombies, it was an incurable disease. Not to mention the plague, in the absence of medical care and medicine, any disease would be fatal.

During the break, Wu Bin decided to talk to Yan Nuoling.

Yan Nuoling seemed to have known Wu Bin's intention and looked up at him.

"Are you going to kick us out now?"

"I misunderstood. I just want to talk about your ideas!" Wu Bin shook his head and had no ill feelings towards the two of them.

"What do you think our chances of survival are out there as two women?" Yan Nuoling asked first.

"Where is your team?" Wu Bin looked at her and didn't answer the question.

"When we left Meishan, there were only eight of us left. Later, in Dayan County, we encountered a tide of zombies and the team was disbanded!" Yan Nuoling's eyes flashed as she recounted past misfortunes.

"Not long after, I met Yuan Bing's team. He was willing to take me in after I paid him some supplies. He was impressed by my archery skills and showed me a little respect!"

"That has nothing to do with me. I approve of your archery skills, that's all!" Wu Bin interrupted her.

"You still need to seek other people's opinions on whether to stay or go!"

Yan Nuoling stood there in a daze, tears finally falling. She looked at the other three people who were laughing and chatting, took a deep breath, this was exactly the team she longed for.

There is no flattery, and even less oppression.

"Are you going to chase them away?" Chen Guangjun asked when he saw Wu Bin coming back.

"What do you think?" Wu Bin sighed and looked at the three people.

"I don't care, you decide!" Dafeng gave up decisively.

"Yan Nuoling is of some use to us, but Liu Xiaoying..." Chen Guangjun shrugged. Everyone could understand.

"Let them follow first, and then deal with it after we find the convoy!" Wu Bin couldn't make a decision now.

……

A week later, the group drove to Shitang River. Across the Shitang River was Shitang City, and fifty miles to the west was Kunbai City.

"The river is wide, and it will take a lot of effort for us to get across!" Chen Guangjun looked at the river bank and estimated that it was at least several thousand meters wide.

It was the first time for everyone to come here, and they were a little shocked, but more of awe. The river was surging, and although it seemed calm on the surface, it actually had turbulent undercurrents. Everyone was afraid of water, and no one knew how deep the yellow river was.

"There is a bridge over there, but it's broken!" Wu Bin pointed downstream. A large bridge lay quietly in the river, with an obvious piece missing in the middle.

"Let's find a boat!" Chen Guangjun glanced at the bridge in the distance. It was not wise to cross the bridge because the city was on the other side.

The group walked along the river and were not in a hurry to cross it as the wide river was beyond the ability of several people.

"How did Qiao Xinghua and the others get over there?" Dafeng asked as he kicked away the small stones on the shore.

"There is more than one road around here. They have maps, so they are naturally much better than us!" Wu Bin turned his head to glance at the other side, reached out to pull a branch of grass from the river and put it in his mouth.

Behind, Yan Nuoling and Liu Xiaoying followed slowly, and He Yuxin would occasionally pay attention to them.

They just followed aimlessly, like zombies. Wu Bin didn't chase them away, but it seemed that they refused to leave.

"interesting!"

After walking a short distance, the few people saw a small boat in front of them. Upon closer inspection, they found that it was a pedal boat in the park lake.

The boat was in the shape of a little yellow duck, not far from the shore, drifting with the current. No one knew who had put it into the river.

"I'll go take a look, you wait!"

Chen Guangjun took off his equipment and without waiting for anyone to respond, he jumped into the water with a splash.

"Brother Jun, be careful!"

When a few people came to their senses, Chen Guangjun had already swam towards the boat.

Wu Bin was alert to his surroundings, while He Yuxin took out a rope from her backpack and fixed one end on the shore to prevent accidents.

Chen Guangjun struggled to get closer to the boat, but it was difficult to climb on, so he had to drag it to the shore.

"Brother Jun, hold on!" He Yuxin threw the rope down.

Chen Guangjun grabbed the rope, tied it to the opening on the bow, and then pulled the rope to climb onto the boat.

The boat was in a mess, obviously it had been drifting in the river for a long time. There was also a dead body on the boat, who had been dead for a long time, with knife wounds all over the body, probably from a dispute with someone.

He was not a detective and had no interest in long-ago tragedies, so he simply threw the body into the river, which was considered a relatively good destination.

"The boat is fine. There is no problem carrying six people!" Chen Guangjun checked carefully to make sure the boat was not leaking.

Yan Nuoling and Liu Xiaoying on the shore breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They were afraid that the four men would abandon them because the boat was too small.

This was just a small cruise ship, and it was somewhat difficult to cross the river. Wu Bin on the shore immediately went to find a few wide wooden boards to use as temporary oars.

After finding a flat place, several people got on the boat one after another. The boat slowly sank more than half, and as long as there were no big waves, there would be no problem.

Wu Bin and Dafeng were at the bow, each holding a wooden board in their hands, and Chen Guangjun was at the stern, responsible for guiding.

Wu Bin and Dafeng looked at each other, then waved their hands and paddled, and the boat slowly left the shore. It was their first time, and the two of them were unfamiliar with the coordination, so the boat swayed left and right.

Chen Guangjun was busy at the back, rowing left and right, trying his best to keep the boat going straight.

"Hey hey hey!"

Dafeng's mouth was unwilling to be lonely, and his hands were very powerful, so he often deviated towards Wu Bin.

"Okay, you guys take a break!" Chen Guangjun said when he saw that both of them were sweating profusely.

At this time, the boat carrying six people had reached the center of the river. The current pushed the boat downward, and the hull became unstable.

"The water is rushing, let's work harder!" Wu Bin rejected the suggestion and decided to rest until the water slowed down.

"Yes!" Dafeng agreed, and the two of them rowed hard again.

"How about I take over rowing for a while?" Yan Nuoling said from behind the two of them. She always felt a little uneasy.

He Yuxin glanced at her and said, "Change people, you two can take a rest!"

"Huff~" Wu Bin gasped for breath, his arms were already sore.

"Okay, no rush, row slowly!"

The two men handed the wooden board to the two women behind them.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself!" Chen Guangjun said, wiping the sweat from his face.

Liu Xiaoying stared at him in a daze. Chen Guangjun waved his hand and said, "I deserve this hard work!"

Not everyone can hold down the stern.

When the two women took over, they realized that the boat was very difficult to row, especially when the current was fast. There were countless undercurrents underwater, which seemed to be about to suck the wooden board away. Not only did they have to row hard, they also had to hold on to the wooden board.

The two women rowed slowly but steadily, unlike Wu Bin and Dafeng, who was too strong.

The two of them rested for five minutes and asked to take over. Yan Nuoling glanced at He Yuxin and saw that she had no intention of stopping, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.

With a quarter of the distance left and the other side clearly visible, He Yuxin stopped rowing. Her rapid breathing indicated that the boat was quite difficult to row.

"There are people on the other side of the river. Don't approach. Leave here!" Chen Guangjun behind noticed two or three figures moving on the shore.

Wu Bin and the other man took over and paddled hard upstream. The lower part, close to the city of Shitang, was not a good place to go, but the water flow here was much calmer, so it was not too difficult to paddle.

"This is the end of the world! Why do I see more people than zombies?" Dafeng couldn't help but complain.

The boat slowly moved upstream. The people on the shore knew that they must have been discovered, so they stopped hiding and followed along the shore.

He Yuxin prepared her gun and had more than ten bullets. Chen Guangjun's AK had no bullets left, and he only had ten bullets in the rifle he had seized.

Although the caliber of the two guns is the same, 7.62, the length of the bullet body is different. The bullet of this old-fashioned rifle is 3 mm longer and is not a standard bullet.

They even brought a loud speaker and shouted in this direction.

"Friends on the boat, the river is dangerous, come to shore quickly!"

On the boat, Dafeng glanced and asked, "What did they say?"

"It's dangerous on the shore, let's get away quickly!" Wu Bin replied.

"Makes sense!"

The two of them worked hard to shake the wood paddle, which increased the speed a little.

"What do they mean? Is it fun in the river?" The people on the shore expressed confusion.

"Maybe he's afraid of us!" one person said.

"What should we be afraid of!" said another.

"Hey! We have no ill intentions!" the man with the loudspeaker continued to shout.

Chen Guangjun observed several people on the shore and found that they all had homemade cold weapons in their hands, and dared to shout with loudspeakers openly. The zombies nearby had been eliminated by them.

"Stop first!" Chen Guangjun said. He looked at the shore carefully and seemed to have made a mistake. This was not a shore but an island.

"What's wrong?" Dafeng asked after he caught his breath.

"Is this an island?" He Yuxin also discovered the clue.

"It should be. This is a good place!" Chen Guangjun looked puzzled. Aren't they looking for a place to stay? This place is not bad.

"Isn't this impolite?" Dafeng understood what Chen Guangjun meant and smiled wickedly.

"Let's take a look first!" Wu Bin didn't make a decision in a hurry.
