End of the World

Dafeng clenched his fists when he heard this, wishing he could kill all those guys immediately.

Wang Zhong was killed, and no one knew what happened to the others. The convoy did not choose to fight back because they had almost run out of bullets.

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!" Jiang Hong sighed and patted Wu Bin on the shoulder: "It will be fine!"

Wu Bin let out a long sigh. His mood was the same as Dafeng's at this moment, but anger could not solve the problem.

“I remember it was still cold, but the Shitang River didn’t freeze much in winter!”

"That morning, the Su brothers found her unconscious during their patrol. It was Su Yuan who jumped into the water and rescued her. She had some symptoms of hypothermia and it took her two days to recover!"

Jiang Hong slowly recounted the process of discovering Lu Qiqi. It was not until today that he knew her origins.

"It can't drift very far in one night. The river Lu Qiqi mentioned should be a tributary. I estimate it is about ten kilometers upstream!" Chen Guangjun said in a deep voice.

"More than ten kilometers...!" Jiang Hong's expression became serious. This meant that there was another group of people next to them. If they had a boat, they would easily find this place.

"It's very close to you. What are your plans?" Chen Guangjun looked at Jiang Hong.

"We have imagined possible conflicts. If they have guns, our resistance will be in vain!" Jiang Hong smiled bitterly.

Ever since they discovered that this place was like a paradise, they seldom ventured out, and they would not go too far. Their activity radius was limited to five kilometers. It could be said that they had never really seen the outside world.

This was also because they were surprised that Wu Bin and his companions came from such a far place.

"We have been out before, but after losing two companions, we became timid and didn't have the courage to face it, because we also had a glimmer of fantasy of being rescued!" Jiang Hong choked up, as his companions died in front of him.

"Your arrival lets me know that there will be no rescue outside!" Jiang Hong sighed. Even if they could stay here forever, they would be discovered by others one day. It would be okay for them to be kind survivors like Wu Bin.

But there are many jackals, tigers and leopards out there, and they are just a piece of fat meat.

"Don't lose heart. Since you are their leader, you should take up the responsibility. This world gives everyone a chance to start over!" Wu Bin patted Jiang Hong on the shoulder. Like himself, he always felt that he could not take up this responsibility.

"I'm just like you. I'm always afraid that I can't do a good job. Instead of worrying about trivial things, I might as well do my best!"

The next day, Jiang Hong called everyone together for a brief meeting. He had thought almost everything through in one night.

Walk out or let others in.

"Everyone, Kiki's friends brought back some information from outside, and I need to explain it to everyone!" Jiang Hong cleared his throat and said.

"Three months ago, we found Qiqi dying by the river. I have been worried about her. Fortunately, her friends found us here yesterday, and Qiqi told us the truth!"

Jiang Hong was speaking at the top, and everyone below was silent. Chen Guangjun nodded secretly, thinking that this team could be led.

"More than ten kilometers upstream, there is a group of people who attacked Qiqi's team. They are not good people!"

"We seldom go out, and we don't know what the outside world is like. We can't stay here forever, we should try to go out!"

After Jiang Hong finished speaking, he looked at everyone and realized that the comfortable days would be gone forever.

Everyone on Orange Island actively discussed and freely put forward plans.

The mobilization meeting was held quickly. Wu Bin only sent Chen Guangjun as a representative to attend, thanking them for their careful care of Lu Qiqi during this period. Several people will provide help within their capacity.

Orange Island was called Fengtang Island on the map, but they thought it didn't sound nice, so since there was a row of orange trees planted on the island, they simply called it Orange Island.

Jiang Hong and his team reclaimed wasteland on the island and planted seasonal vegetables, so they were able to be self-sufficient. They also had a piece of farmland, which, if the harvest was good, could provide them with food for a year.

Wu Bin and the others nodded secretly after seeing this. They had to say, this was the life they had always dreamed of, plain and comfortable. Why bother to take risks and struggle outside?

Chen Guangjun looked around the island and found that except for a few shallow places, it was not easy for outsiders to go ashore.

The height between the river surface and the shore is about two or three meters. This was increased for flood prevention when the island was first built.

The inner river channel on one side of the island is actually not deep, only 2.5 meters. Jiang Hong said that the dry season of Shitang River is normally after October in the second half of the year. Except for the continuous high temperature in summer, it may dry up in July and August.

It would be best if the island was surrounded by rivers all year round. Jiang Hong once thought about artificially deepening the inner river channel, but it could not be implemented due to limited conditions.

"If you want to live on this island for a long time, you must increase defensive fortifications. What you are defending against is not zombies, but survivors!" Chen Guangjun proposed to Jiang Hong after the inspection.

"Brother Chen, what kind of fortifications do you think are suitable?" Jiang Hong asked.

"As you can see, the river surface is three meters above the shore. Even if it's not shallow, we can easily reach the island with the help of tools!"

"My opinion is to build a high wall, but it's surrounded by water, so you also need to consider flood control!"

"Building a high wall is too difficult for us!" Su Yun laughed bitterly. If flood prevention is also to be taken into consideration, the wall must be like a dam.

"I'm just making a suggestion. It depends on your actual situation. For example, you can't build a wall like a city wall. You have to consider the bearing capacity of the foundation and the erosion capacity of the river water!" Chen Guangjun reminded.

The group nodded silently. The main body of Orange Island is soil, and there is a layer of stone around the outermost layer to resist the erosion of the river.

"Rome wasn't built in a day. If you lay one brick every day, it will eventually be completed. What matters is action!" Chen Guangjun was afraid that they would retreat, so he encouraged them, saying that all things are difficult at the beginning.

"I know. We have thought about enclosing the entire island before, but we have not put it into action until today!" Jiang Hong said, looking across the river.

"Brother Chen, I want to know what plans you have?" Su Yun said. He wanted to know what plans they had after coming here from afar.

"It's okay to tell you that we haven't actually planned it in detail. According to the plan, our convoy intends to go to Kunbai, where there is a prison!" Chen Guangjun held the marble railing with both hands and looked into the distance.

"Kunbai is not far from here, but I've never heard of a prison!" Su Yun shook his head. They had an administrative map of Kunbai.

"Brother Chen, how do you know there is a prison here?" Jiang Hong asked. He only knew that there was a detention center in Shitang City.

"We have maps. Looking at foreign maps, we can see that all our private institutions are basically marked!" Chen Guangjun replied.

This map is an offline version that Wu Bin downloaded on his mobile phone when the disaster occurred. It is very valuable. Later, Lan Yuxuan backed it up.

"Can we have one, then?"

Jiang Hong knew that it was a good thing. Realizing something, he added: "We can exchange it for something!"

Chen Guangjun smiled: "It's not that I'm stingy, I encountered an accident before, the map...!"

"That's such a pity!" Jiang Hong had no doubt about it, there were too many emergencies when surviving outside.

"I kept the motherboard of the mobile phone. Can you restore it?" Chen Guangjun asked. Restoring the map would help several people survive outside.

"Mobile phone motherboard?" Jiang Hong was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in surprise: "Yes, Li Zile used to be a digital enthusiast, he can repair mobile phones!"

Several people excitedly found Li Zile and explained the reason. He checked the motherboard and said that they could give it a try, but it would require a computer and an ammeter.

Jiang Hong waved his hand and said that as long as they were doing real work, they could turn on the generator.

He Yuxin has been accompanying Lu Qiqi here, and Meng Qi is also there.

He Yuxin kept talking about the experience of the four people leaving the convoy. No one had expected that they would go to the plateau or even go abroad. It sounded bizarre.

Now that she thinks about it, He Yuxin feels that the four of them were extremely lucky and nothing was missing.

"You said we can't get pregnant now?" Meng Qi felt a little unnatural when she heard about the four people's experience in the logging camp, and she even subconsciously covered her belly with her hands.

"Yes, all the pregnant women in the camp are pregnant with stillbirths and mutated little zombies!" He Yuxin is still a little scared. She is a girl. What will happen in the future if she can't get pregnant?

"Could it be that they were already...infected...?"

"No, not all the pregnant women in the camp will be infected. Mengqi, you...!" He Yuxin noticed that something was wrong with her.

"No, nothing. It's almost time for lunch. I'll go prepare the food!" Meng Qi stood up and put her hand on her stomach unintentionally.

Looking at her back, He Yuxin sighed. She had to tell Wu Bin about this. It was quiet and peaceful here, and it was normal to have a few pregnant women. She didn't know what happened to the convoy.

Among the convoy, An Wenwen was conceived before the end of the world. Her husband died on the front line, and Zhu Zhenguo entrusted her to the convoy.

"Qiqi, is anyone in the team pregnant?" He Yuxin turned around and asked.

"It seems not. Sister Yun never said anything. Xinghua has been busy and hasn't touched Sister Zihan much!" Lu Qiqi replied: "Other girls should not have had any contact either!"

"how about you?"

"I...have even less...!" Lu Qiqi said with a blush.

"That's good!" He Yuxin looked at her belly. There was no reaction in three months, so there must be nothing.

"Why is Sister Yuxin staring at my belly?"

"It's nothing, you look thinner!" He Yuxin held her hand.

"Sister Yuxin, if a woman can't get pregnant, will it be possible...!" Lu Qiqi whispered.

"Don't think too much, it's just inappropriate. Do you think Wu Bin dislikes me?" He Yuxin immediately interrupted her.

"Oh!"

Lu Qiqi thought that He Yuxin was capable enough and no one would dare to look down on her for not being able to have children, but apart from being good-looking, she had no other advantages.

Looking back, they had the same starting point. Lu Qiqi hated herself for not living up to her expectations, He Yuxin began to transform in the shelter, and Meng Zihan changed drastically after Wu Bin and the other three lost contact. Only she... was lagging far behind!

"Qiqi, don't think too much. Li Xun is a good man and he won't let you down!" He Yuxin knew what she was thinking and comforted her.

Speaking of Li Xun, Lu Qiqi felt much better. He did not have a strong physique and seemed mediocre among the crowd, but he only had himself in his heart.

Before the end of the world, Lu Qiqi didn't think much of Li Xun. After all, there were many men around her. Li Xun confessed his love to her first, and Qiao Xinghua must have been behind the scenes fanning the flames.
