End of the World

Most members of the team are not aware of the leadership's affairs, and those who know will not communicate them. If they were exposed, it would have a negative impact on overall morale.

If your leader has no confidence, let alone the people below you, they will only become more desperate.

After Qiao Xinghua, Chen Guangjun also came over and taught Wu Bin a lesson. This was indeed inappropriate. If there is anything, you can tell everyone. If there is really a problem, everyone can coordinate and solve it instead of carrying it alone.

Only Dafeng was kept in the dark. He really cared about Wu Bin and He Yuxin in the past.

Jiang Hong did not go directly to Wu Bin. He asked around when he checked the vehicle with Zhao Bofeng. He was relieved to know that everything was fine. Usually only men do the dirty work like repairing cars. Now there is Meng Qi, and she mainly wants to be with Jiang Hong so that they will not be separated.

At first everyone was a little surprised, thinking that she might have done it on a whim. Even Zhao Bofeng thought so. Repairing was too hard for a girl, and no one expected her to stick with it.

From not being able to recognize all the tools in the beginning to being able to do some simple disassembly and assembly now, it is relatively a big improvement.

Meng Qi may not be able to deal with zombies, but she is very capable of doing physical work and has some strength. She quickly won everyone's respect. Who doesn't like a beautiful woman who can carry a wrench and do repairs?

After inspection, it was found that part of the tires of eight vehicles in the convoy were punctured by shrapnel. The wounds were relatively large or in tricky locations. The convoy had no tire repair equipment and could only replace them.

A total of twenty tires were replaced on the eight vehicles. The original reserve was not enough, so they had to use spare tires from other vehicles.

Zhao Bofeng checked the ambulance and found that the engine was in good condition and could start normally after repairs, but the clutch plate was basically broken.

The ambulance has always been overweight. It has been a long time since the ambulance was first used in Tangshan City Hospital until now, and the actual mileage is only a few thousand kilometers.

Zhao Bofeng removed the clutch plate, which had slipped and was basically worn out. There was no such clutch plate in the fleet, and if he put it back, the vehicle might break down while driving.

"This clutch plate is larger than a pickup truck's, but smaller than a truck's. It's also a dual-clutch. You won't find a suitable one unless you come across a vehicle that uses this transmission!"

Wu Bin adjusted his mentality, listened carefully to Zhao Bofeng's description, and said, "Do you know what transmission this is?"

Zhao Bofeng shook his head. He was familiar with the transmissions of mainstream trucks, but he had never touched this kind of special service vehicle.

"If you can't fix it, forget it. Just lift the front wheel and tow it!"

"I'll arrange for Sister Yun and the others to get on other cars." Wu Bin said.

When the repair team finished with the vehicle, it was already dark. The sky in the east was a fiery red, illuminating the horizon. The fire lasted the entire day.

Chen Guangjun drove to assess the fire situation and believed that the convoy did not need to be moved for the time being as the fire would not spread to this side.

We need to arrange personnel to be on duty tonight. Most of the infrared cameras have been lost and are insufficient to meet the defense requirements of the convoy.

That night, Wu Bin tossed and turned in bed. He thought a lot and asked himself honestly that he had not done anything outstanding. All he had was everyone's support.

He Yuxin was the one who thought more about it. Qiao Xinghua was right. If she couldn't even trust herself, how could she trust others to do well?

Wu Bin got up at daybreak, asked about the night watch situation, asked the team members on duty to rest, picked up his gun and got off the car to patrol. There were many team members who woke up early, so Wu Bin greeted them.

When he went to the repair team to ask about the maintenance status of the fleet's vehicles, Zhao Bofeng patted his chest and said that the vehicles were safe to drive.

"Zi Han, cook breakfast and distribute it immediately. We'll leave early!" Wu Bin knocked on the door of the Mercedes-Benz RV.

Meng Zihan had just gotten up, her hair was a little disheveled. She pushed her bangs aside with her hand, looking a little surprised that it was too early today. She didn't say anything, just tied her hair up and went to prepare breakfast for everyone.

Wu Bin returned to the car and studied the map. Yesterday, the bombers wiped out the zombie horde. Does this mean that Qishan’s military base is nearby?

The map shows that there are no towns or villages to the west of Qishan Mountain. The satellite images show only lush green and pristine forests.

Wu Bin was so engrossed in looking at the map that he didn't notice He Yuxin bringing him a bowl of porridge. He only reacted when the porridge was pushed in front of him.

"Drink the porridge first!" He Yuxin's soft voice came, adding a piece of pickled vegetable to Wu Bin's bowl of porridge.

Wu Bin took the map away and rubbed his face with his hands: "I'll wash my hands first."

Wu Bin stood up and walked to the sink, washed his face with hot water, let out a long breath, sat next to He Yuxin, picked up the bowl and drank the hot porridge.

"Start!"

After all the vehicles had reported, Wu Bin gave the order and the convoy started. The reconnaissance Hummer had set off ten minutes earlier and was now three to five kilometers ahead of the convoy.

The further the convoy went to the west side of Qishan, the fewer zombies there were, until there were almost none in the end. There were also few scrapped vehicles on the road, and this section of the road was covered with fallen leaves. The Hummer in front reported that they had encountered a military checkpoint, or more accurately, a sentry post, because this was already a military restricted area.

After comparing with the map, it was found that the convoy was located on a road that did not exist on the map.

Chen Guangjun also reported that the checkpoint had been visited by people a long time ago, with many vehicle traces left on the road, indicating that more than one group of people had been there.

The Hummer passed the checkpoint and stopped at a fork in the road after going five kilometers. There was a road sign at the fork in the road, but not everyone could understand it.

The road sign was two strings of numbers pointing in two directions, and only the military could understand the meaning of the numbers. Chen Guangjun was forced to stop the car. After reporting, Wu Bin asked him to stay where he was. The convoy had just passed the checkpoint.

"Choose a road!" Chen Guangjun pointed at the road sign and smiled at Wu Bin who got off the car.

The two strings of numbers are very interesting, one is 00053, the other is 00054, which means I live and I die, which are somewhat homophonic.

Unless you have a military map in your hands, you have no idea what the numbers mean.

"Brother Jun, don't you know what the numbers mean?" Wu Bin asked helplessly.

"General military codes follow certain rules, provided that they have ten digits or odd or even numbers!" Chen Guangjun shrugged.

"Let's go, we choose to give birth!" Wu Bin said after looking at the road sign for a while.

"That depends on your luck." Chen Guangjun got in the car, started the Hummer and rushed out with a whoosh.

"All cars follow and be alert!" Wu Bin said while picking up the walkie-talkie.

After driving two kilometers, the Hummer reported that the asphalt road had ended and the next step was a dirt road. Chen Guangjun looked at the compass on the dashboard and saw that the direction was roughly towards the power station.

After driving on the dirt road for a few kilometers, it seemed to have reached the end. There was an open space in front of us, and in front of it was a power substation. The gate barrier was broken on the ground, indicating that someone had already visited.

"Captain, you are unlucky. It seems that this is not the place we are going." Chen Guangjun stopped the car and had no intention of going in.

"Are there any other roads around?" Wu Bin asked.

"No, I didn't see it. You guys come over first, or at least we can camp here for a while!" Chen Guangjun replied.

"Okay, we'll be there soon!"

Chen Guangjun put down the walkie-talkie and drove the Hummer into the substation. The greenery here was the same as that of the power station, and there were three or four low-rise buildings.

There is a small square on the south side with traces of a bonfire on the ground. Chen Guangjun honked the car horn a few times, and the entire substation was silent, with only the sound of cars echoing.

Chen Guangjun got out of the car to explore the substation. For safety reasons, he did not leave the vehicle too far.

There were bullet holes on the walls and floors of varying calibers, and they were not left by the army. The survivors who came here had a conflict, and the two dry bones found confirmed Chen Guangjun's idea.

There was a bullet hole on the skull of the corpse, and the two backpacks were opened, with the contents scattered all over the ground. They were all clothes. This was the fate of a loser, left to rot in the wilderness.

There was a rumbling sound of cars outside, and the convoy arrived at the substation. Wu Bin did not see the Hummer, so they must have arrived at the substation.

Wu Bin arranged for Chen Haitao to inspect the environment, asked everyone to prepare for camping, and called Dafeng to take a look at the substation.

He Yuxin carried a gun and followed the two people to the substation. The surroundings were covered with fallen leaves, giving a desolate feeling. There was a dormitory building in the substation where soldiers used to be stationed.

"Brother Jun, can you find another way?" Wu Bin asked, looking around the substation.

Chen Guangjun spread out his hands. Does he really think he can do anything?

"Don't ask, I just arrived too!" Chen Guangjun shook his head.

"This is a good direction. We can only look around!" Wu Bin sighed, looked around, and wondered where to leave.

There is a road leading out of the power station, but I don’t know which way to go.

"Brother Bin, there is a back door here!" Dafeng, who was strolling around, waved to the three people.

The three followed the sound and found a barbed wire door on the north side. There was a roadblock at the door and a hole in the barbed wire. Someone had entered through here. There was a dirt road outside the door.

The direction of the dirt road is also wrong, it runs northwest, and the power station is in the northeast of this place. It is equivalent to the convoy going from east to west and circling most of the main body of Qishan.

There are no other paths nearby, and no one knows where this road that passes through the substation will eventually lead to. It becomes the last hope.

Wu Bin crawled through the hole and planned to explore it, and Chen Guangjun had the same intention.

Wu Bin said hello to Qiao Xinghua, and led the three of them onto the dirt road. They walked two or three kilometers, but there seemed to be nothing special. All around them were forests that had not changed for thousands of years.

When the four were about to give up and go home, a huge billboard-like object appeared in front of them. When they got closer, they saw several large words written on the billboard.

"Qishan Field Mobile Training Ground"

"Training ground?" The four of them were a little confused for a moment. A training ground set up in the deep mountains and forests? Obviously it was not that simple.

After a few people walked past the sign, their view became wider. In the center was a small circular square, surrounded by dirt roads leading to various places. No wonder it was called the Mobile Training Ground. It was probably a place where people practiced driving.

"There are seven roads. Is there a road leading to the power station?" He Yuxin said after looking around.

"It's hard to say!" Wu Bin stepped forward, feeling a little dizzy with so many roads. The army really knows how to play. First there's a substation, then there's a training ground. They're hidden quite deeply!
