End of the World

"Boom boom boom!" When the time was up, the blaster detonated the explosives, and dust filled the air for a while.

"There was a real explosion!" As the distance was not far, a lot of dust was splashed. Dafeng brushed off the dust and even some zombie limbs flew to the position.

The sudden explosion made many people unable to react. At this time, a large amount of dust was raised in front of the position, blocking the view and making it impossible to see the zombies inside.

"Brother Bin, should we run away?" Qiao Xinghua stopped shooting as his vision was blocked.

As soon as Qiao Xinghua finished speaking, some officers shouted, "Why don't you leave? Are you planning to stay and die?"

"Run!" After hearing the officer's words, the three men put away their guns, picked up a box of ammunition and were the first to rush out of the position.

Seeing someone taking the lead, the people behind reacted and ran back immediately. The scene suddenly became chaotic, and many people's weapons were even left on the ground.

The new group was already under enormous pressure and today's performance was considered exceptional. Once this gap was opened, everything went downhill and morale collapsed in an instant.

Of course not everyone left their positions. Some people stayed behind to cover the retreat. They would sacrifice themselves to cover the retreat. This included officers at all levels. They were all soldiers and they could not retreat. Veterans all had their own glory, and dying on the battlefield was the final destination of the soldiers.

Looking at the new soldiers of the regiment who were like defeated soldiers, the commander did not blame them. They had already exceeded the limit of persisting until now. He hoped that more of them could return to the shelter alive.

Wu Bin and the other two moved quickly, but all of them were carrying heavy equipment. Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua were carrying an ammunition box, and Dafeng was carrying a rocket launcher alone. At this time, weapons were the soldiers' lives.

Those who were not carrying much weight quickly surpassed Wu Bin and his group, and looked at the three people with some inexplicable expressions.

Wu Bin saw that some of those guys didn't even have guns in their hands, no wonder they could run so fast. However, if the army investigated and investigated, the matter would be very serious.

There was intensive gunfire coming from behind, and the remaining troops engaged in a firefight with the zombies. Due to their small number of people, the defense line collapsed instantly. The troops fought and retreated, retreating to the vicinity of the command post, preparing for a desperate resistance.

Some of the zombies that broke through the defense chased the defeated new regiment, while more were attracted by the firepower of the position strongholds.

The defeated troops all rushed to the air force base. When everyone arrived at the air force base, they were dumbfounded. The troops were gone and the air force base was silent, without even a ghost in sight. Many people collapsed on the ground, feeling cheated.

Everyone understood what was happening. No wonder the tank troops withdrew halfway and no wonder there was no reinforcement. It turned out that the troops at the air force base had withdrawn long ago. Anger, resentment and other emotions enveloped almost everyone's heart.

"Brother Bin, what should we do?" Dafeng looked at the lost crowd. He had just said it casually before, but he didn't expect that his words would come true.

"What should I do? How would I know?" Wu Bin didn't expect the troops to be so decisive and leave without leaking any news.

"Or maybe if we run immediately we can catch up with the troops!" said Qiao Xinghua.

"Unlikely!" Wu Bin shook his head: "We have delayed the zombies for at least two hours. Besides, we don't know the troops' retreat route, so we may not be able to catch up!"

"Then let's...!"

Wu Bin looked around and saw that hundreds of people had returned to the air force base one after another, but their morale was low and no commander had returned. He was afraid that they could not be trusted.

"Let's go and find the pickup truck we had before, and go as far as we can!" Wu Bin stood up. He couldn't just sit there and wait to die. This is how everyone got through before the army, and they had to rely on themselves.

The pickup truck was parked at the place where they rested yesterday. When the three arrived, the pickup truck just stayed there quietly. It seemed that the troops didn't think much of it.

"Do you want to push the cart?" Dafeng asked as he put the rocket launcher in the back compartment.

"It shouldn't be necessary. I see it's charging normally. It ran for a long time yesterday, so the battery should be charged."

Wu Bin turned on the ignition switch and the pickup truck started in two seconds.

"Are those oil drums?" As soon as Qiao Xinghua got in the car, he saw several large red barrels where the troops parked yesterday.

"Go over and have a look!"

Inviting the two to get in the car, Wu Bin drove closer and found that it was indeed an oil barrel. After checking, he found that there was still some oil. Several barrels together should be able to fill half a tank of the pickup truck.

So the three of them found an oil pipe and worked together to lift the oil barrel. However, as the oil level was too low, they could not suck up any oil and could only pour it into the fuel tank.

"What are you guys doing?" Just as the three men finished pouring the oil from the bottom of the barrel, they heard several footsteps, and there were also three people coming.

Hearing the sound, the three of them subconsciously raised their guns.

"Don't be nervous. I three don't mean any bad things. Is this your car?" The visitor said with a smile.

"What does this have to do with you!" Wu Bin hates beating around the bush the most. If you want a car, just say it directly!

"Brother, let me be frank. We want to take a ride!" said another person.

Wu Bin looked at the three men and saw that they had gloomy faces and did not look like good people. Although it was wrong to judge people by their appearance, the current situation was that even the army could not be trusted, let alone these new regiments, which were even worse than the army.

"Sorry, the place is full!" Wu Bin refused.

"Damn it, there are obviously only three of you, why do you say it's full?" One person cursed, obviously a man with a bad temper, and the faces of the other two people also gradually became gloomy.

"Oh! I just don't want you to get on the bus!" Wu Bin remained calm. If you want to get on the bus but still have this attitude, you might be tricked without knowing it if you get on the bus.

"Brothers, do you really have to be so ruthless? As people who are both in trouble, why don't you support each other?"

Support each other? That sounds grand, but I'm afraid they will fall out in the blink of an eye.

"Absolute? Why don't you go ask the troops why they are so ruthless!" Wu Bin said. The implication was obvious, if the troops cannot be trusted, how much more so you?

The three of them were gloomy. Wasn't this an insult to them?

Dafeng couldn't hold it in any longer. If he continued like this, the zombies would come over: "Damn it, I told you not to sit down, but you're still whining here. What the hell are you thinking!"

After saying that, he raised the rocket launcher and pointed it at the three people. The three people couldn't help but take a step back. Although they knew that the other party might be trying to scare them, what if, for example, an accidental discharge? They just didn't expect that the other party had heavy weapons in his hands. They did doubt whether he had ammunition. It would be fun to carry such a heavy thing without ammunition!

Wu Bin looked at the three men coldly, got in the car, started the car, and left before they could react. It was true that the rocket launcher had ammunition, but there would be no benefit in getting into a conflict with those three guys.

The pickup truck left from a gap without looking back. Wu Bin and his team did not take anyone else with them. This was not selfish, but a way of being responsible to their own people. People's hearts are hidden, and it is very dangerous to rashly bring strangers with them.

The troops covering the retreat of the new regiment were basically wiped out. At the last moment, the commander received an order from Lu Yun allowing him to retreat, but he could not leave because the command post had been surrounded by zombies.

"Boom boom boom!"

The commander detonated all the explosives on the position and died together with the zombies. For him, receiving the order to retreat put all his worries to rest.

Almost all the veteran troops who stayed behind to participate in the cover died heroically. They fulfilled their military duties well and lived up to their military status.

The new regiment troops still at the air force base were in chaos and even fought with each other, which was in stark contrast to the veteran troops who sacrificed their lives.

When explosions were heard at the last position, no commander, except the new regiment soldiers, retreated. In other words, the troops were leaderless and in chaos, with no one able to organize them.

So, a gunfight broke out over some supplies. Wouldn't they have won long ago if they had the ability to fight against the zombies? It is a tragedy for humans to point guns at their own kind in this context.

When the zombies attacked the air force base, the separated groups scattered in panic, and those who were shot and unable to escape were eaten by the zombies, which did buy some guys some time.

The new regiment was basically destroyed in this battle, and there is no soldier from the new regiment in the shelter. The newly expanded troops will continue to use the number.

What happened at the air force base had nothing to do with Wu Bin and the other two. Given human nature, fighting was inevitable, and sometimes a person could be killed over a trivial matter.

The three had already driven north. The shelter was just north of the air force base, but they did not have a map. The map equipment they used was all in the RV. They were unfamiliar with the area and were destined to suffer a lot along the way.

After driving for a while, it was almost dark, so the three of them found a small building and prepared to spend the night.

The three or two zombies beside the building were easily killed. The three entered the second floor of the building and saw a lot of bloodstains that had already turned black. They also found a rotten dry corpse under the windowsill. No, it should be a wet corpse because its clothes were wet.

The corpse was wearing a light-colored dress and should be a young woman. It looked like she had been dead for a long time. Because the window was open, the corpse was soaked by the rain and the surrounding area was a little damp. No one knew why the corpse looked more like a mummy and was not completely turned into bones.

The three men bowed to the corpse. There was a stronger smell of damp and mold in the room, and the smell of decaying corpse was not obvious, so they ignored the corpse.

The three searched the building and found some packaged food, some of which were about to expire but still edible.

Wu Bin also found a piece of rotten wood on the balcony, on which there were some wood ears growing, which he picked and cooked.

After eating and drinking, it was already completely dark. Wu Bin found an iron pot and placed it in the middle of the living room, and started a small fire.

Using the firelight, Wu Bin made some alarm devices, which he learned from TV. He pierced holes in cans with wire and placed them on the first floor. As long as something touched the wire, the cans would make a sound.

Dafeng felt that this was not enough, so he moved things to block the stairwell. It looked like he was not going to use the stairs anymore.

After doing all this, the three of them sat down to discuss how to get to the shelter. They knew the direction of the shelter, but the problem was that they were now in the southern suburbs of Dongzhou, which meant that going straight north was not feasible. They would have to go through the urban area of ​​Dongzhou, so they could only go west or east. There was no need to think about going west as the journey was longer. It would be best to find the route the troops took to and from the east. Wu Bin believed that with so many troop vehicles, there would definitely be a lot of traces left on the road.
