End of the World

At first no one knew what was going on, until a Wrangler covered in steel armor appeared in sight.

The Wrangler stopped more than a hundred meters away from the convoy. The people in the car were very surprised to see the convoy in front of them. They didn't expect that there was another team here.

"What a surprise!"

There was a man and a woman in the car, like a husband and wife duo. The man was driving and the woman was sitting in the passenger seat with a map in her hand, serving as a navigator and provide cover.

"Could it be them?" the woman said.

"I don't know. If they are the only ones around here, it's worth doubting!" the man said in a deep voice. However, if the other party is very strong, he would have to think more carefully.

"Brother Bin, I think it's better to leave them here!" Qiao Xinghua said through the intercom. He planned to engage in a direct firefight without negotiation. After all, Wu Bin and the other three were also treated in the same way.

Wu Bin on the other side was silent for a moment, then said, "I have no objection, just go ahead and do it!"

Wu Bin was thinking that even if there was no conflict in the negotiations with the other party today, the other party might bring more people back, which would cause endless trouble. Qiao Xinghua probably also had such doubts.

"Non-combat personnel, prepare to break camp!" Wu Bin said on the intercom.

Now that the decision had been made, Dafeng and He Yuxin got out of the car with their weapons, while Chen Guangjun drove back in a Hummer, ready to chase the car.

Wu Bin started the RV and was determined to leave the Wrangler here no matter what.

There were still two rifle grenades. Chen Haitao took his gun and secretly went around from one side to the right side of the Wrangler. Facing the welded armor of the Wrangler, the rifle grenades were also difficult to fire.

Just as the man was observing the convoy on the opposite side through the narrow window, the woman next to him suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She turned her eyes and saw a man with a gun on the right, with the gun pointed at her.

"Be careful and retreat quickly!" When the woman shouted, Chen Haitao pulled the trigger and the grenade was blown away by the air pressure. The woman only saw a black thing flying towards her.

"boom!"

The rifle grenade was fired at the front wheel of the Wrangler. Chen Haitao knew that even with the power of the rifle grenade, it was still difficult to penetrate the crew compartment, so he simply attacked the wheel.

The explosion caused the Wrangler's body to shake, the right front wheel was severely damaged, the steering rocker arm was deformed, and the steering system was damaged.

The explosion was the signal for an attack. Chen Guangjun drove out in the Hummer with a hum and headed straight towards the Wrangler.

Although the two people in the car took some precautions, they were a little too confident in themselves and were too close.

When they saw the Hummer, their faces suddenly turned gloomy. It was indeed these people. They deserved to die.

The Wrangler had been upgraded and modified. It was put in reverse gear and the vehicle moved backwards rapidly. The man turned the steering wheel and found that the front wheel was damaged by the attack.

"Damn it!" the man cursed inwardly, and the woman screamed because the Hummer came straight towards them.

"Bang!" The two cars collided. The Wrangler was smaller and heavier than the Hummer, so it was almost overturned by the collision.

"Bang!" Another loud noise and the Wrangler was thrown on the side of the road.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" the woman asked quickly.

"I... am fine!" The man shook his head. He only felt a dull pain in his chest and his head was buzzing as if it was about to explode.

The woman also felt dizzy. She looked at the broken car window and couldn't help cursing, "Damn it, how could this happen? The car window is broken!"

"Let's get out of here first!" the man gritted his teeth and struggled to start the car.

As soon as the Wrangler started, a Hummer hit it again. The man's body leaned back suddenly and he was almost thrown out. Fortunately, he held on to the steering wheel tightly and was determined to escape no matter what.

The Wrangler turned the corner with difficulty and stepped on the accelerator to escape. The Hummer behind it refused to give in and the faces of the two people in the car looked extremely ugly.

The Hummer was modified by them, so they naturally knew how sturdy it was. The front wheel of the Wrangler was damaged and it could no longer drive fast.

"Everyone get ready to start. Brother Jun and I will chase them!" Wu Bin gave the next order and started the RV quickly.

Two were chasing and one was fleeing. Chen Guangjun's car kept hitting the rear bumper of the car in front, keeping close to the car in front.

"You bastard, run back if you have the chance!" the man cursed and said to the woman.

"But……!"

"No buts, you have to make these people pay the price!" the man almost roared.

The woman was in tears. She looked at the man reluctantly, unable to do anything but hold her head and cry.

The car behind seized the opportunity and accelerated, and the front of the car hit the right rear side of the Wrangler. The direction of the Wrangler immediately shifted. Because the steering was damaged, the man could not fix it, and inertia caused the vehicle to rotate 180 degrees and slide off the road.

The Wrangler crashed into a tree with a bang and stopped. The two men were stunned. The roar of the vehicle made them calm down. They saw a truck with a large plow on top rushing towards them, and despair finally appeared on their faces.

"go!"

At the last moment, the man cruelly pushed the woman out of the car.

"Get out!"

"No!"

The RV deviated slightly and hit the Wrangler directly. With a bang, the small body of the Wrangler could not withstand the impact at all. The welded steel plates disintegrated and the whole car was blown away. The green trees were also broken and fell to the ground with a squeak.

The RV pushed the smoking Wrangler forward for dozens of meters before stopping.

"Ding!"

The safety ring of the grenade in the man's hand flew out, emitting a hissing sound of green smoke. His chest was squeezed by the steering wheel and he was no longer breathing.

"boom!"

With an explosion, the Wrangler was completely ignited and black smoke rose. The explosion of the Wrangler did not cause any damage to the RV, and the RV slowly backed away.

The woman was extremely sad. She quickly stood up, not even caring about the bruises on her body. She covered her mouth and ran away without looking back.

Chen Guangjun, who was in the Hummer, spotted the fleeing woman and drove over. There were no buildings in the area, so the woman had nowhere to escape.

But the woman was not stupid. She ran into the woods and the Hummer was blocked and forced to stop.

"I'll chase him!" Chen Guangjun said to Wu Bin and got out of the car to chase after him.

After chasing for a hundred meters, Chen Guangjun lost sight of the woman. Those who can survive outside have good hiding skills. Chen Guangjun knew she was nearby and he had to find her.

The forest was not big and was silent. The fallen leaves made rustling sounds when people stepped on them. Chen Guangjun walked slowly, alertly looking around.

The hiding woman knew she couldn't escape, so she held a dagger and looked at Chen Guangjun coldly. Suddenly, she jumped out from behind a tree, ran forward, and stabbed Chen Guangjun's back with the dagger that was shining coldly.

How could Chen Guangjun be so easy to deal with? He noticed the woman the moment she appeared. He turned around and saw the dagger coming at him, so he dodged sideways. When the woman saw that her attack missed, she turned the dagger and slid it towards Chen Guangjun's abdomen.

Chen Guangjun blocked the woman's wrist with his arm, grabbed it and twisted it. A look of pain appeared on the woman's face. She lost her grip on the dagger and fell to the ground. Chen Guangjun took advantage of the situation and kicked the woman away.

The woman felt a sharp pain in her chest, her internal organs all moved out of place, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She stared at Chen Guangjun.

Chen Guangjun picked up the dagger and looked at her indifferently: "You can save yourself from suffering if you surrender!"

"Pah!" The woman spat out blood and her eyes looked like she wanted to cut Chen Guangjun into pieces.

Chen Guangjun tied up the seriously injured woman and threw her into the Hummer to meet up with Wu Bin.

"We've caught him, let's go back first!"

Wu Bin nodded, and the two cars left the place, leaving only the Wrangler on fire telling about the battle just now.

When the two vehicles returned to the camp, the convoy was almost ready to drive. However, there were not enough transport vehicles. The truck that originally brought back the excavator had a carriage, and now at most one truck could be freed up to connect to a flatbed trailer. Qiao Xinghua didn't know how to arrange it.

"The bulldozer and excavator loaded one truck, and the rest was destroyed!" Wu Bin said directly after listening to Qiao Xinghua's description.

"Okay! Dig up the road and then destroy the machine!" Qiao Xinghua's idea was even more malicious. This was also to prevent the other party from catching up so quickly.

Chen Haitao drove out an old excavator and destroyed the road. It was quite relaxing. If he couldn't do his job well, then destroying the road would be easy for him, right?

Dafeng was not idle either. Before Chen Haitao turned off the engine and got out of the car, he swung a sledgehammer and smashed the machine. Chen Haitao was also impressed by this violent maniac.

While the engine was not paying attention, Dafeng sprinkled a few handfuls of sand into the oil port. The engine noise became louder, the operation became more shaky, and then it stalled.

"Great!" Dafeng still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Okay, we have to go!" Chen Haitao was really helpless.

The team was back on the road, but everyone's spirits were low. It was understandable; they had thought they could settle down, but they never expected to embark on an unknown journey again. This was a big blow to morale.

"Forget it, let's not dig a road and find the entrance!" Wu Bin said in a deep voice.

"Okay! Let's find a place to spend the night first!" Qiao Xinghua nodded.

In the afternoon, the convoy advanced 30 kilometers and stopped for the night on a secluded section of national highway. While clearing out nearby zombies, they encountered mutated zombies.

Their bodies turn brown, they are faster than ordinary zombies, and they grow sharp nails on their hands. Although they cannot scratch iron sheets, they can easily tear clothes and skin. Apart from that, there is nothing special about them. Everyone thinks they are a 2.0 version of ordinary zombies.

The threat posed by the new ordinary zombies has been raised to a higher level. They can evolve like living creatures, but the speed of evolution is incredible.

"It's safe now. Everyone can get off the bus and take a breath."

Wu Bin's voice came from the communicator.

There were many rotting corpses near the convoy, so the air outside was even worse. You had to wear a mask when getting off the car, which was worse than being in the car.

All the corpses are zombies. They appear to have died of natural causes and there are no wounds on the corpses, proving that the zombies have begun to die out. Their numbers will be greatly reduced, but the number of mutated zombies may increase.

Fang Xiaoyun was a little worried when she saw the corpses outside. If a large number of corpses were not dealt with, it would be easy for them to breed deadly bacteria.

Think about the plague that broke out in the shelter back then. It was caused by improper handling of corpses and its origin was from the shelter in Longshan next door.

Fang Xiaoyun found Wu Bin and thought it was not appropriate to camp in a place full of corpses. Wu Bin accepted the advice and asked He Yuxin to look for a new camping site.
