End of the World

When He Yuxin learned that she could write a letter, she thanked the soldiers and immediately returned to the RV to write a letter to Chen Guangjun in the army, asking him to help find out the news of Wu Bin and the other two.

The people at the conscription office would take a look at the unit number on the letter and then accept it. Usually, those who were asked to deliver the letters were family members of former troops.

The letter was not delivered to Chen Guangjun until noon the next day. He went to Zhu Zhenguo to find out the situation, but Zhu Zhenguo was also not clear.

In the evening, Chen Guangjun took a short leave and returned to the RV camp. His face looked grim. At least he learned that there was no new regiment among the withdrawing troops, and the new regiment's camp was still empty.

"Yuxin, Zihan, I have verified what you asked me to do. Xintuan has indeed not returned!" Chen Guangjun found the two women and told them privately.

"That means that officer deceived us!" Meng Zihan covered her mouth and couldn't help crying softly. Her original hope turned into despair.

"Don't be too sad. Old Zhu told me that the new regiment was not completely wiped out, but just dispersed. Wu Bin and the other two are together, so they will be fine!" Chen Guangjun comforted them. It was not the first time that Wu Bin and the other two had to survive outside, and they would find a way to come back.

He Yuxin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. No news was the best news. She believed that Wu Bin and the others must still be alive.

"Brother Jun, you must have something else to say!" He Yuxin patted Meng Zihan and said to Chen Guangjun. She felt that Chen Guangjun had something else to say.

"Yes, I don't have much time, just let everyone know later!" Chen Guangjun nodded, sat down and drank some water to moisten his throat, and continued: "The shelter will face the biggest crisis. A new group of zombies will soon besiege the shelter, and the number is several times that of the last time!"

"Just keep this to yourself and don't spread it to anyone else!"

"Don't worry, can the shelter handle it?" He Yuxin knew the seriousness of the matter and couldn't cause trouble for Chen Guangjun.

"I don't know. If the troop losses were not so severe, there would still be a chance of winning. However, the airport plan has completely failed. In short, it's not a bad thing for you to make some preparations!" Chen Guangjun's face was serious. He had already felt tremendous pressure in the army. The frontal defense was being strengthened, and the front line was already covered with dark clouds. They might fight with zombies at any time.

Fang Xiaoyun returned to the RV camp in the evening. Through Zhu Zhenguo's relationship, she got a job in the military hospital. Due to her outstanding abilities, Fang Xiaoyun was appointed as deputy director of the emergency department within a few days.

"Sister Yun, you're back!" He Yuxin greeted Fang Xiaoyun.

"Well, Yuxin, what's wrong with you?" As a doctor, Fang Xiaoyun was very sensitive. She didn't come back yesterday because of something, so she didn't know what happened.

"Nothing, let's get ready for dinner!" He Yuxin shook her head slightly.

The scene at the dinner table seemed a little deserted; everyone just ate in silence; it wasn't as lively as usual.

"What's going on, everyone? Is there something wrong?" Fang Xiaoyun couldn't stand the atmosphere and put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"Sister Yun, it's okay. It's just that Brother Jun came back today and told us that there is a new crisis in the shelter." He Yuxin said, trying to control her emotions.

"Oh! Right!" Fang Xiaoyun didn't notice He Yuxin's expression: "Today I heard in the military hospital that there is a new group of zombies. They broke through the Longshan Shelter and are coming towards us!"

"Longshan Shelter? Why haven't we heard of it?" Li Xun asked. He wanted to break the atmosphere and change the subject.

"Longshan? The Longshan in the west?" Zhao Bofeng asked. He knew a little about it as he had been there to repair cars before.

"That should be the case. It's not far from us anyway. Many survivors over there have fled to our side. The army is very busy with this. I heard that only one thousand out of the 30,000 people in the shelter escaped!" Fang Xiaoyun recounted what she heard at the military hospital.

"By the way, do you know why I didn't come back last night? I encountered the troops attacking the airport, and asked a few questions while helping to bandage the wounded. It seems that the losses were quite serious!" After saying that, Fang Xiaoyun finally reacted and asked, "Any news about Wu Bin and the others?"

Tears welled up in Meng Zihan's eyes again. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran back to her RV. Seeing this, Lu Qiqi followed her.

He Yuxin stopped sobbing a little and said, "Their troops have dispersed, so they have lost contact!"

Fang Xiaoyun came over to comfort him: "Don't worry, they will be fine!"

Looking at He Yuxin who looked a little haggard, Fang Xiaoyun sighed. No wonder the atmosphere was so strange. So that's how it is. I hope the three of them can return safely.

Wu Bin and the other two had a good rest here, packed up and prepared to set off. It was another sunny morning and the weather was good, but the two zombie figures outside affected their mood a little.

"How did you sleep last night?" Wu Bin stretched his neck, withdrew his gaze from the zombies, turned back and asked the two of them.

"It's okay, but the bed smells a bit musty!" Qiao Xinghua picked up his bag and took a breath of the morning air.

"These days, zombies are all in pairs!" Dafeng came up and leaned in front of the window. He saw two zombies, a man and a woman, outside. He could barely recognize that they were wearing couple outfits. Poor couple, but it was a happy ending that they were still together after becoming zombies.

"You are envious, right? If you are envious, then find someone and have a crazy love affair that will shake the world and make the gods and ghosts weep!"

"Tsk, who's envious? I'm a free man!" Dafeng said disdainfully: "No one can control me!"

"Ah! Xiao Fengzi, you are so arrogant. Don't cry if you can't find a wife in the future!"

"Damn it, who are you calling Xiao Fengzi!"

"Ha! I'm angry. I can't find a wife because of my bad temper...!"

Wu Bin laughed. The two of them started arguing again after a while of idleness. He turned around and took out the amulet given by He Yuxin, and pinched the hair inside. At this moment, he felt as if she was right beside him.

"Okay, can you two save some energy for the journey?" When it was almost time, Wu Bin stopped the two of them, and they stopped.

"If Brother Bin hadn't stopped you, you would have lay down long ago!" After saying that, Dafeng grabbed Wu Bin's arm, looking angry.

"What a joke! If Brother Bin hadn't stopped you, you would have asked daddy for mercy!" Qiao Xinghua was not willing to be outdone. Anyway, the two had never lost in an argument, except for fighting.

"Okay, you two fight for 300 rounds to decide the winner, and then come back to find me on the shared bike!" Wu Bin was speechless. These two guys are addicted, aren't they?

The two of them immediately turned off the engine and caught up with Wu Bin. Riding a shared bike? What a joke.

"If you hadn't blocked the stairs, would it have been so troublesome?" Qiao Xinghua threw down the rope and prepared to slide down, not forgetting to find fault with Dafeng.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Exercise more. You'll be grateful to me in the future!" Dafeng retorted.

Wu Bin: “…”

Finally, after getting in the car, the two people calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

"Brother Bin, do you know the way?" Qiao Xinghua in the back seat looked around at the scenery outside: "Where is this?"

"I don't know. I would have told you that I'm a little lost!" Wu Bin controlled the vehicle to drive at a constant speed, hoping to see some road signs.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know the way, the direction is right!" Dafeng was rarely serious. He determined the approximate direction by the position of the sun in the morning.

At noon, the three of them didn't know how far they had driven. They took a lot of detours to follow the correct direction and drove into a dead end twice before finally arriving outside the ring road.

"I'm afraid the road ahead can only be walked!"

The pickup truck was parked outside the toll booth. It seemed that the only option was to drive along the ring road for a while so as not to lose the direction. However, the vehicle would have to be abandoned as the entrance to the ring road was blocked by cars.

"Okay, let's walk." Wu Bin turned his head to look at the two of them, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Without hesitation, he abandoned the vehicle and tried to travel as fast as possible during the day.

"It's such a traffic jam!" Dafeng carried the rocket launcher and went to observe the intersection. All the vehicles were crowded together.

"The ammunition box is too heavy. Let's divide the ammunition equally and put it in the backpacks!" Wu Bin dragged out the ammunition box and distributed it simply.

"Okay!" Qiao Xinghua nodded, then waved to Dafeng: "Hey! Come here!"

"what happened?"

"Let's divide the ammunition equally!"

"Okay!" Dafeng did not object. This was a life-saving guy.

"There are three rockets left. Each of us carries one. Take as many bullets as possible. Remember not to be greedy!" Wu Bin reminded. Although it was painful to discard some bullets, they must be prioritized. Carrying too many will affect the operation.

"understand!"

After checking their equipment, the three men climbed over the wrecked car and onto the highway.

"Brother Bin, can we get another car?" Dafeng suggested as soon as they arrived at the highway.

"It depends on the situation. We're not always that lucky!" Wu Bin also wanted to get one, but the disaster had happened so long ago and the conditions on the highway were terrible, so it was unlikely that he could get a car. The car might be able to move, but the key was that he had no tools.

The three men drove north along the highway for several hours and encountered many cars along the way, but none of them could start. There was no problem with the vehicle's engine. Since most of the car doors were open, the circuits in the car were damp and corroded, and the computer in the car was broken. For an electronically controlled engine, it would be impossible to start the engine if the engine computer was broken. Wu Bin did not have the technology to repair these computer circuits.

Looking at the sky, the sun is setting towards the western horizon, and the day is almost over.

"The sun is about to set, let's find a hiding place!" Wu Bin estimated that it would be dark in about two hours.

There are few buildings along the highway, but there is a cement building on the small hill on the side of the road ahead. It is a small two-story bungalow.

The three decided to spend the night in the small bungalow, but they were greeted by a foul stench before they even set foot in. There was a maggoty corpse lying on the floor of the bungalow, with white maggots crawling everywhere.

"Hurry up, hold your nose and deal with the body, we'll just have to make do with it tonight!"

The three men suppressed their anger and carried the body out to bury it. After dealing with this one, there was another one upstairs. After they finished dealing with them, the three men felt there was no need to eat dinner because the house still had that suffocating smell.

"Damn, I kind of hate this floor. Will there be maggots crawling over and biting me when I sleep?" Dafeng sat down reluctantly.

"Hasn't it been cleaned up? A grown man is still so delicate!" Qiao Xinghua retorted bluntly.
