End of the World

After a brief discussion, several people decided to land on the island. This island is located in the Shitang River and is indeed a rare and good place to visit.

"They are coming, be more enthusiastic!" The people on the shore were watching eagerly, not knowing that the people coming had ulterior motives.

Wu Bin and his group put away their guns first, at least they couldn't be seen from the shore, but they also wanted to take a gamble.

"Come here, come to the shore!" Several people on the shore gave enthusiastic instructions.

Several people on the boat looked at each other. It was rare to see such politeness. They were not so enthusiastic even in the logging camp.

"Friends, friends...! Wow...!" The people on the shore were stunned when they saw that the person coming had more than one gun. It was as if they had let a wolf into the house!

"Don't be nervous, we're just passing by!" He Yuxin stepped forward and spoke kindly. Perhaps only she could dispel some of the other party's concerns.

"oh oh!"

The man nodded repeatedly, and they looked at the three girls, letting down their guard a little.

"Um, welcome to Orange Island!" Another person came out to smooth things over, but he was actually a little scared as well.

"My name is Su Yun, his name is Su Yuan, we are brothers!"

Only then did several people notice that there were two people who looked almost identical.

"My name is Jiang Hong, nice to meet you!" The man who had just greeted him introduced himself, stealing the limelight from Su Yun.

"Li Zile (yue)!"

The other party introduced themselves, and Wu Bin and his companions also introduced themselves. When they learned that they all came from Dongzhou, they were quite surprised.

After all, the farthest they had ever traveled was no more than twenty kilometers, and they never traveled far again after escaping death.

The tense atmosphere dissipated a little.

"Have you ever seen a convoy of cars with two large RVs?" Wu Bin asked them, perhaps they had seen it.

"No, because we..." Su Yun shook his head, paused, and looked at his companions.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. We seldom go out, so we rarely see survivors outside!" Jiang Hong took over the conversation.

"I heard that it's extremely dangerous out there, with people killing each other, so I've been hiding here!" After Jiang Hong said this, his eyes stayed on the guns in the hands of several people for a few seconds.

"Indeed, the ones you have to be wary of outside are your own kind!" Chen Guangjun shrugged. It was normal for them to have this awareness.

Hearing this, several people laughed awkwardly. Their previous behavior made them look stupid.

"Who's in charge here?" Wu Bin asked. Judging from the weather, they would have to stay here overnight.

"I guess so!" Jiang Hong raised his hand.

Wu Bin and his companions were all stunned, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

“Are you the administrator?”

"Is... it?" Jiang Hong looked at his companion with some uncertainty.

"...!"

"Sorry to bother you tonight!" He Yuxin clasped her hands together and said politely to Jiang Hong. She could see that they probably had no contact with the survivors outside.

Since the other party was friendly and had no hostility, Wu Bin and his group would not be aggressive and could treat them politely.

"No problem!" Jiang Hong waved his hand uncomfortably.

This river island is not too small. It is 1,500 meters long from east to west and 700 meters wide from north to south. Its overall shape is a bit like an elongated water drop.

The island is more than a hundred meters away from the shore, and is connected to the island by a narrow arch bridge, but it has been demolished by Jiang Hong and his team to prevent zombies from entering the island.

According to Jiang Hong, this river island is actually an artificial island. The river channel, which is more than 100 meters wide, was artificially dug to connect with the main river, creating this island. The water depth of the artificial channel is only three meters. It is fine during the flood season, but once the dry season comes, the water in the artificial river channel section will dry up.

Zombies can easily reach the island in the middle of the river through the exposed riverbed. What is somewhat reassuring is that it is difficult for them to land on the island due to the height difference.

Several people followed Jiang Hong to the center of the island, where there was a square with two three-story buildings on each side of the square. Judging from the facades, they were small shops on the island. Perhaps due to poor performance, they were closed after being open for a while before the end of the world.

There were more than a dozen figures in the square, including men, women, old and young. Some of them were watching a few children playing, and there were two old men, and they felt relaxed unconsciously.

Such a scene has never been seen since the catastrophe.

When the two young girls saw Jiang Hong and his group coming back from their walk, with six unfamiliar faces around them, they went up to greet them.

"Mengqi! Wenxin!"

Jiang Hong took the initiative to greet them, and Su Yun and the other two also waved in return.

"Hey, when did you become friends?" The girl named Meng Qi chuckled. She was pretty and her two little fangs were exposed when she smiled. She was very cute.

"Hello you all!"

Wu Bin and the others did not come forward, so they asked He Yuxin to go forward and say hello.

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

“Uh…!” He Yuxin was at a loss as to what to do this time.

"Hehe, welcome to Orange Island!" Chen Wenxin laughed.

Other people in the square also noticed the new face and went forward to find out what was going on.

Everyone's enthusiasm made the few people who had just come out of the outside and were fighting with the survivors feel uncomfortable. This place seemed incompatible with the killing outside.

"Everyone is like this every time someone comes!" Su Yun explained to a few people.

"Do other survivors often come here?" Wu Bin asked curiously.

"Not really. There are one or two occasionally. The last one was three months ago. There was a girl. She was lucky. She held onto a piece of driftwood. I don't know how long she had been soaking in the water. It was my brother and I who rescued her!" Su Yun said.

"Are there no people who came to the island and left?" Chen Guangjun asked.

"There was one last year. We couldn't keep him. He said he had something important to do. He left without saying goodbye and never came back!"

The one who answered was Su Yuan.

"Her name is Meng Qi, her name is Chen Wenxin. They are the most lively. There are a few other girls who are more shy than them!" Su Yun introduced with a smile.

"Whether you leave or not, just rest here tonight. I'll arrange a room for you!" Jiang Hong said, making a gesture to Li Zile.

As soon as Meng Qi and the other girl got to know Wu Bin, they started chatting with He Yuxin and the others. They were obviously more interested in the three girls, which made He Yuxin feel uncomfortable.

Several people looked a little embarrassed, but no one dared to laugh at them. First, they came from outside, and second, because of those guns, no one thought they were firewood sticks.

"Let me take you to clean up!" Su Yun said, and called to Meng Qi.

Several people came to the wash area. He Yuxin exchanged glances with Wu Bin, then went to the other side with Yan Nuoling.

After sending Su Yun away, Wu Bin asked Chen Guangjun, "Brother Jun, what do you think of them?"

"It's hard to say!" Chen Guangjun pondered for a moment. He didn't dare to jump to conclusions. He didn't find anything wrong in the brief contact.

"It's better to be careful!" Chen Guangjun added. He was surprised by the harmony here.

"I'll tell you what to do!"

Dafeng was bathing leisurely and carefree without any worries, and Wu Bin went up and slapped him.

"Can you be of some use?"

"Damn! Brother Bin, you're too cruel!" Dafeng yelled, obviously in pain.

"What are you yelling about? Are you really taking a vacation?"

"Well, I finally got a bath, so why not relax? Besides... as long as Brother Bin has a bright future... I can just follow him!" Dafeng muttered.

“……!” Wu Bin didn’t know what to say.

After changing into clean clothes, the three of them walked out of the bathroom. He Yuxin and the other two girls also came out at the right time. Su Yun had been waiting outside for a long time, and Jiang Hong, who had been cleaning the room for them, also came back.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Wu Bin said politely when he saw the people outside.

"It doesn't matter, we are all the same!" Su Yun said with a laugh, acting a bit familiar.

"I'll take you to the accommodation room!" Jiang Hong said.

After some polite exchanges, a few people followed him up. The room was on the west side of the square. The first floor was not lived in, and only the second and third floors had decent single rooms.

"I live here too, on the second floor. You can always come to me if you have any problems!" said Jiang Hong in front.

"Hello, hello!"

Meng Qi upstairs waved to the group of people.

Several people also waved and signaled that this girl was interesting.

"There are rooms on the third floor, but they don't have an insulation layer. It will be a bit hot when the weather gets warmer. I will ask someone to build a shed there in a few days so that it can be insulated!" Jiang Hong said.

The hint was already very obvious. The few people had not made a decision yet, but they were all thinking in their hearts that if the people on the island were all vicious and cruel criminals, some of them might have the idea of ​​occupying the island.

"Thank you very much!" Several people were unable to say more.

"You guys came here together, so there's no gender-specific dorm, just stay next door!"

Downstairs, Meng Qi came up with some water.

"There's nothing to serve you, drink some water first!"

He Yuxin thanked him and went over to take the teapot.

"You two live together?" Wu Bin glanced at Meng Qi and just made a guess.

The sudden question made Meng Qi blush a little. Jiang Hong admitted it generously and he nodded.

He Yuxin rolled her eyes at Wu Bin, thinking that this was quite rude.

"Sorry!" He Yuxin said apologetically.

"Everyone knows this, why apologize?"

"Dinner time is almost here, you guys take a rest, I'll call you later!"

After the two finished talking, they went downstairs. Since they were not very familiar with each other, Meng Qi didn't want to stay. She learned that they came from Dongzhou and was very curious about their experiences.

"Come in and put your backpack down!"

Chen Guangjun called a few people into the house and said he would go out to meet all of them later. It was not a good idea to carry too many weapons, so the bullets had to be taken away from the guns left in the room. To be on the safe side, the important parts of the guns had to be disassembled and carried with them.

About half an hour later, the two brothers Jiang Hong and Su Yun went upstairs and invited everyone to have dinner together.

Looking from upstairs, there were already people in the square preparing for dinner. The scene was peaceful. Wu Bin looked at it and recalled the scene of the motorcade having dinner. It was both strange and familiar.

Several people came to the square with guns. Jiang Hong was not surprised at all. It would be the same for anyone. However, others were not very used to it and were more cautious.

"Come on! Let's get to know each other!" Jiang Hong greeted everyone and introduced them one by one.

Tonight's dinner is particularly sumptuous. There is a pot of chicken soup, steamed fish and vegetables on the table. The snow-white rice on the plate is also particularly eye-catching.

This was already a luxurious meal in the end times, and several people had not seen such a sumptuous dinner for a long time.

"Please take a seat!" After getting to know everyone, Jiang Hong greeted them.

"Come! Sit here!" Meng Qi decisively abandoned Jiang Hong and pulled He Yuxin to sit down. The other side was also occupied by Chen Wenxin.

He Yuxin smiled at Meng Qi and asked Wu Bin to sit next to her. Jiang Hong wanted to sit next to Wu Bin, but he was a step too late. Dafeng saw through her intention and occupied the seat in advance.

Jiang Hong shook his head. He originally wanted to get closer to Wu Bin, after all, he was the leader among them.

Su Yun came over and said to Jiang Hong: "Someone hasn't come yet!"

“Ah! I…!”

Jiang Hong sighed, and just as he said that, Meng Qi stood up and said, "I'll go find her!"

"Excuse me!"

Chen Wenxin got up and followed her to the building on the east side.
