End of the World

"arrive!"

The vehicle squeaked to a stop, and Ding Zhiwen jumped out first and waved to the nearby soldiers.

The four got out of the car one after another. Zhao Bofeng went to check the car, while Wu Bin found the machine gun dropped by Dafeng in the nearby grass.

On the outer wall of the Qishan base, a team of soldiers was using sandbags to temporarily repair the damaged area, and the area around the gap was covered with barbed wire.

The damage to the Mengshi vehicle was not serious, and Zhao Bofeng started it quickly. The bullet did not hit the engine, so he just had to go back and repair the bullet holes.

The four of them did not stay for long. After a few minutes, they drove away from the Qishan base separately.

Back at the motorcade, Zhao Bofeng started to repair the vehicle. Ye Jianfeng would use the vehicle the day after tomorrow at the latest, so there was plenty of time.

Not long after Ye Jianfeng came back, he borrowed the Hummer from Wu Bin and took his men out. The command center received a signal from the crashed pilot, and the special forces team went to bring him back.

Wu Bin put down his work and went to the ambulance to visit Dafeng. Yan Nuoling was also there. She said hello to Wu Bin and left.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Wu Bin asked. He was relieved to see that Dafeng looked much better.

Fang Xiaoyun told him that there were still some shrapnel left in Dafeng's leg, and he would need a second operation after he recovered a little, and there might be sequelae after such a serious injury.

After the two operations, Dafeng will probably have to stay in bed for several months and undergo several months of rehabilitation training.

"It's okay. It's comfortable anywhere with Sister Yun here!" Dafeng grinned and told Wu Bin that it was just one more person who was anxious and worried.

"That's good. Just behave yourself if you're injured and don't worry about other things." Wu Bin had no doubts.

"Give me a few months off? Sounds good!" Dafeng said with a smile, without any sign of abnormality on his face.

Wu Bin was a little skeptical. He didn't believe that the wound didn't hurt at all. Since he could laugh, it should be fine!

"I see you look very rosy, are you lucky in love?"

"I feel good about the time I spent with Yan Nuoling. Look, she even came to take care of you!" Wu Bin said.

"Hey! Brother Bin, can we talk about something else?" Dafeng said somewhat unnaturally.

"Okay, I approve your marriage!"

Dafeng was choked and said, "What? What? I don't understand!"

"It's okay, just wait to be the groom!" Wu Bin waved his hand and said.

"Um...!" Dafeng stopped pretending, "Can you give me some time? Let nature take its course...!"

"Okay, just admit it!" Wu Bin nodded. He was just joking. He didn't want to interfere in matters between men and women. Fate cannot be forced.

"Oh, Xiao Fengzi has grown up and knows how to find a concubine!" Qiao Xinghua said with a smile after listening outside for a while.

“…Ah, you second brother, stop being so sarcastic!”

"I'm older than you, call me daddy!"

"Oh?" Qiao Xinghua stretched out his tone, "How is it big? I don't think it's that big!"

"You are a villain, always taking advantage of others' misfortunes!" Dafeng really wanted to go up and strangle him.

"I've always had no time to spar with you. Today is a good day. Don't say that I'm bullying my grandson. Come here, I'll give you a hand!" Qiao Xinghua stretched out his hand to challenge Dafeng on the hospital bed. Wu Bin felt that this guy deserved a beating.

"I've seen countless people, including shameless ones, but I've never seen a bitch like you!"

"If you dare, let's have a competition in autumn and I'll beat the shit out of you!" Dafeng also said.

"Tsk! It's Qiu Hou, if you're scared, just be my grandson!"

"..."

Wu Bin left reluctantly, leaving the two idiots to continue arguing. The two of them would rather talk than fight.

"It can be seen that Dafeng is in good spirits!" Chen Guangjun happened to pass by and saw this scene.

"Oh, I can't stand them!" said Wu Bin.

"Yeah, they both know you don't like quarreling, so they never take you with them!"

"Or maybe you are the captain and need some face!" Chen Guangjun said.

Wu Bin didn't know how to answer. It seemed that becoming a leader would create an invisible gap between him and the people around him.

"Forget it, I always like quietness anyway!" Wu Bin shook his head and stopped worrying about it.

"Brother Jun, where do you think our next target is?" Wu Bin asked, seeming confused.

Chen Guangjun smiled and said, "You are not alone, nor are you a dictator. You have so many people around you, and we are all walking the same path together!"

"No one can stay out of the environment we live in. We cannot escape from reality, so why not face it!"

Wu Bin nodded and let out a long sigh. There was no end to the fugitives, and the fact proved that none of them could escape.

Wu Bin turned toward the town and asked, "Brother Jun, what do you think we should do?"

Chen Guangjun shrugged: "Everything depends on human effort. Successful people never think they will fail. The most difficult time has passed, right?"

"Okay, let's take it!" Wu Bin made the decision.

I returned to the RV and pulled up the map of the town. This place was called Dongxi Town. Most of the zombies in the town had turned into bones on the ground. Although there were signs of survivors in the town, their number would not be large.

He Yuxin was shocked when she learned that Wu Bin wanted to take over Dongxi Town. In the past, the convoy always wanted to go deep into the old forest, and the idea of ​​occupying the town was undoubtedly crazy.

She immediately expressed her support, saying that homes were built from ruins.

Dongxi Town seems to be independent on the map. The next nearest town is to the east, nearly 20 kilometers away. To the north is Qishan Mountain, which is a natural line of defense to separate the threats from the north.

Dongxi Town is located in a corner outside Qishan, and the two neighboring towns are quite far away.

The army wiped out most of the zombies in the town in the early stages, so it was just a matter of time for them to occupy it.

In the evening, Wu Bin called all the members together and held a meeting. As expected, everyone was shocked. They had never dared to think about taking over a town.

Wu Bin introduced on the map that Dongxi Town has a natural geographical advantage, with Qishan Mountain at its back and nearly half of its area surrounded by mountains and forests, which means they have a large amount of forest resources to utilize.

The main reason is that there are not many zombies in the town, and the town has ready-made living infrastructure, which is very important for resuming production.

Everyone discussed the feasibility of the plan, and ultimately the majority agreed to pass it, as everyone was tired of living on wheels.

The next day, Wu Bin arranged for people to build a temporary camp here, and then sent people into three groups to conduct a survey and exploration of Dongxi Town.

Although the army has eliminated most of the zombies, after so much time has passed, some have come from outside and some remain locally, so the number is quite considerable.

Determine the distribution of the zombie horde and divide the area on the map, then clear out the zombies in a planned manner by zoning them.

The convoy does not have that many weapons and ammunition, so they can only use their wits to eliminate the zombies.

Wu Bin noticed the sawmill on the map and asked someone to bring back the wood-sawing machine and find a way to load it onto a car so that he could kill the hordes of zombies.

The people who were out found two large combine harvesters on the field. Zhao Bofeng immediately suggested bringing the harvesters back and modifying them into zombie harvesters.

Wu Bin was somewhat skeptical. Even if the blades could hold up, the machine wouldn't. A large number of corpses could directly damage the machine.

When Ye Jianfeng brought his men back, he found that the convoy, which had been somewhat lifeless, had suddenly become bustling with activity. Everyone was busy, and many vehicles were missing, probably because they had gone out.

When he learned from Wu Bin that the convoy was preparing to take over Dongxi Town, he was stunned for several seconds and could not help but admire the courage of these people.

The army's hard work in exterminating the zombies actually indirectly helped them a lot, as the number of zombies in Dongxi Town was reduced by 70% to 80%.

Zhao Bofeng told Ye Jianfeng that the Mengshi vehicle was ready, and then he immersed himself in studying how to install the sawmill's large circular saw on the vehicle. He needed to redesign the robotic arm and transmission device.

Then choose the right vehicle. None of the vehicles in the convoy are suitable. What's the point of installing two large saw blades on the front of the vehicle? Moreover, the truck is not flexible enough. If the truck is in the field, it will be difficult to move, let alone harvest zombies.

Wu Bin suddenly thought of the survivors of the Qishan base. They left a lot of military earth-moving machinery at the checkpoint. The most suitable one among them was the military earth-moving loader.

There is absolutely no problem in replacing the loader bucket with a large circular saw.

Wu Bin and his men transported the loader back that day. The next step would be a big project. Zhao Bofeng had to design a frame on the original robotic arm that could hold a large circular saw.

Then we had to find a way to drive the large circular saw. We used a universal joint to connect the engine and it was barely usable. However, the movable angle of the robotic arm was much smaller.

The loader can be equipped with two saw blades, of which the left saw blade rotates counterclockwise and the right saw blade rotates clockwise.

The last part is the vehicle body. It is very dangerous to face a large group of zombies, so the protection of the cockpit needs to be strengthened.

After finalizing the plan, Zhao Bofeng started working on it, estimating that it would take at least three days to complete. Wu Bin was not in a hurry and told him to take his time.

After a day, the scouts who went out came back. They walked along the main road of Dongxi Town. Overall, the journey went smoothly and they did not see many zombies.

We did meet other survivors on the road, and both sides were relatively restrained, so there was no exchange of fire.

Qiao Xinghua guessed that there was a small group of survivors in the Dongxi Town area, and they would encounter them when the convoy entered the town. He hoped that there would be no conflict at that time.

Later, Ye Jianfeng found Wu Bin and told him that the troops from the power station would retreat together with the troops from the Qishan base, but he could not be sure of the time.

The Qishan base is a war preparedness warehouse. Chuanling has formulated a new combat plan and needs war preparedness supplies from the Qishan base.

The shelter will send troops to receive the equipment. At that time, do not enter Qishan at will to avoid misjudgment by the troops.

At that time, the troops coming out of Qishan may enter Dongxi Town and take the nearest highway, or they may choose to bypass it. Ye Jianfeng has reported the situation in Dongxi Town to the command center, but he has not received a response.

In a word, do not enter Qishan before the troops have left the base. When the troops need to borrow the road, give them convenience. It will be good for everyone.

As soon as the sun rises, the special forces will leave for Jishan to carry out their mission. Ye Jianfeng asks them to take good care of his daughter and he will be back.
