End of the World

Chapter 95 Crossing the River

There was no oil or water, so the three of them went to check the goods in the carriage. When they walked into the carriage, they found water on the ground. There was no leakage above their heads, so it should have seeped in from the ground due to the rain.

There were still most of the boxes in the carriage, and the bottom was soaked in water. When one of them was opened, it was found to be laptops. There were four brand new laptops in one box.

"It can actually be turned on!" Wu Bin disassembled one computer and pressed the power button. Miraculously, the computer was not affected by moisture.

"Let's take some with us!" He Yuxin suggested, as the computer might be useful in the future.

"Okay, let's take two boxes from above!" As he said that, Wu Bin stepped on the boxes and took a few boxes from the high places.

Computers are not essential for survival. We only take a few computers if there is enough space in the infantry fighting vehicle. If we need to load food or other things later, some of them will definitely be discarded.

Wu Bin was typing on the computer keyboard. Before the end of the world, his family didn't have the means to buy a computer, so Wu Bin didn't know how to use it very well. He could just surf the Internet, but he couldn't use office software or other things. He couldn't even type a table!

Dafeng had been sitting in the turret, fiddling with the aiming equipment or the 30mm machine gun. He suffered a loss last time because he didn't know how to use it.

"Brother Bin, the bridge ahead is broken!" He Yuxin operated the infantry fighting vehicle and stopped in front of another bridge.

"squeak"

Wu Bin opened the top hatch, climbed out and looked at the broken bridge in front. Judging from the broken cross-section, the bridge must have been broken a long time ago.

"Is there any other route?" Wu Bin asked as he got back into the car.

"There is another bridge downstream, two kilometers away!" He Yuxin took out her mobile phone and slid the screen.

"Let's go and take a look!" Wu Bin thought that the route was not far away and he could get there. It shouldn't be that bad!

What you fear will come true. Before you reach the bridge, you can see that the river is empty. Even the bridge piers have disappeared. The river surface is so calm that there is not a single ripple.

"No need to go, the bridge is broken!" Wu Bin smiled bitterly and had to think of another way.

"What should we do now?" Dafeng asked, spreading his hands.

"I remember that the 09 infantry fighting vehicle seemed to have wading capabilities!" Wu Bin pondered and said slowly, modern infantry fighting vehicles or other light armored vehicles generally have a certain wading capability, and even some bulky tanks have the ability to dive underwater.

"Brother Bin, do you know how to do this?" He Yuxin turned around.

"I've only seen it on TV!" Wu Bin leaned over and looked at the operating console, but did not see any water-related function switch buttons.

"I don't have that either!" Dafeng said helplessly.

"Is it that our car doesn't have a wading function?"

"Let's get off the car and take a look!" Wu Bin didn't dare to guarantee it. This shouldn't be the case.

"Brother Bin, just wait and see. I'll go and serve our old friend!" Dafeng said as he grabbed a rifle from the car, installed a bayonet on it, and rushed towards the zombies that were surrounding them.

Wu Bin and He Yuxin were both speechless. Dafeng was really a madman. A few zombies could not threaten him, so they were not too worried.

"This car has the ability to wade through water, but I don't know how to switch it!" Wu Bin checked the rear of the car and found that there were indeed two thrusters behind the chassis.

"Such a small propeller?" He Yuxin looked at the propeller, which was not much bigger than a portable fan, and felt like a small horse pulling a big cart.

"Don't underestimate its size. Its thrust should allow the car to reach a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour in the water!" said Wu Bin.

"This propeller and the wheels share a power system, so is it controlled by the gear position?" He Yuxin guessed. Her words made Wu Bin's eyes light up. Of course, the propeller is connected to the engine, and the space inside the car is limited, so it is impossible to set up a separate speed change device.

"Xin'er is indeed smart. Go and give it a try!" Wu Bin exclaimed.

"I'm just guessing!" He Yuxin said, then went back into the car and stepped on the clutch to try a gear she had never engaged before.

"it is good!"

Hearing Wu Bin's voice, He Yuxin lowered her head to memorize the position, picked up an empty seat and got off the car.

"Brother Bin, come and take a look!" Dafeng, who was not far away, killed the zombies, but seemed to have discovered something.

Wu Bin asked He Yuxin to stay in the car and trotted over. Before he got close, he smelled a foul odor in the air.

"There are a lot of corpses here!" Dafeng pointed to the open space in front.

The open space was overgrown with weeds, half a person's height. Dead bodies were piled on top of the weeds, numbering more than a hundred. It was obvious that someone had deliberately dumped them here.

"We should be careful, there are survivors nearby!" Wu Bin kicked the grass beside him, where there were clear tire tracks.

Dafeng nodded. The scene of being attacked for no reason by the survivors outside was still vivid in his mind. From now on, he would deal with other survivors.

"What did you find?" He Yuxin asked when she saw the two people coming back.

Wu Bin did not hide anything and told Dafeng about his speculation.

He Yuxin's impression of the survivors outside is still stuck in the factory area, but she must be careful in the future. Few of the people who have survived to the present are simple people. For example, He Yuxin herself also has lives on her hands. She didn't dare to imagine it before, but she didn't seem to feel much after killing someone. Perhaps people are slowly changed by the environment in this way.

He Yuxin found a shallow beach by the river and drove the infantry fighting vehicle into the river. She started to get nervous. Who among ordinary people has ever tried to drive in water? The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they felt the car body seemed to float up. The water they imagined did not seep into the car, otherwise this infantry fighting vehicle would have been an iron coffin.

After shifting into the corresponding gear, the infantry fighting vehicle began to rumble across the river. The river was not wide, only a few dozen meters, and the water was not deep. Fortunately, the flow was slow, otherwise it would be a big trouble to venture into the water for the first time.

After finding a gentle river bank, the infantry fighting vehicle drove onto land. Although it has amphibious capabilities, land is still more suitable for the eight-legged infantry fighting vehicle.

"It seems that we still need to make some preparations before launching the car into the water!" Wu Bin saw some water seeping in from the gap of the rear door of the car. Fortunately, the river was not wide. If it went directly into a river like this, there would be big problems.

The infantry fighting vehicle rushed onto the path on the shore. The eight-wheel drive's off-road capability was not to be underestimated, but it was a bit fuel-consuming.

"It's so easy to get here. If the RV could be like this, wouldn't it be invincible!" Dafeng laughed, but of course he could only think about it.

"We are here, but Qiao Xinghua and the others had better take a detour from another place!" Wu Bin sighed. He wondered if Qiao Xinghua had met up with Li Xun and the others, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

"Brother Bin, the car seemed to hit something when it rushed up!" He Yuxin was not sure. She could not see the perspective problem of the infantry fighting vehicle rushing up the slope, but she could feel it vaguely.

"I'll go take a look!" Wu Bin stuck his head out from the roof of the car. There was a small dirt road on the river bank, but next to the dirt road there was a row of artificial wooden pile walls, and the infantry fighting vehicle rushed up and crashed into it, creating a gap.

"We crashed into someone's wall." Wu Bin returned to the car.

"Is there anyone nearby?" He Yuxin turned around and looked at Wu Bin and asked.

"Maybe, there are artificial fortifications!"

"There is a section of wooden pile wall by the river, and there are signs of repair!" Dafeng looked around through the sight of the gun position and saw fresh wet wood on the wooden piles.

He Yuxin nodded gently: "We might have broken into someone else's garden!"

Obviously, the wooden pile wall on the river bank was to prevent outsiders from breaking in. I guess no one thought that an infantry fighting vehicle would break in.

Wu Bin and his two companions didn't care about the damaged wall since they were just passing by. Wu Bin suspected that the bridges on the river were destroyed by survivors nearby. When he saw the broken bridge, he didn't look at it carefully. Now that he thought about it, it didn't look like it was blown off, as the broken cross-section was relatively neat.

Satellite images show that there are not many buildings on this side of the river. The two roads of the Broken Bridge do not intersect, and they each curve around the edges. The only few buildings are in the middle of the two roads. If there were someone here, they could just cut off the roads on both sides.

Not knowing the other party's identity, Wu Bin did not want to conflict with the survivors nearby, so it would be best to avoid them to avoid trouble.

He Yuxin knew what Wu Bin was thinking, so she drove the infantry fighting vehicle along the wall, making it easier to retreat if she encountered anyone.

When they got to the highway, the three of them didn't meet anyone. If there were any survivors nearby, didn't they send people to patrol? Or did they think that the bridge was broken and they could rest easy!

It would be better if we didn't encounter anyone. They will definitely set up checkpoints on the road ahead. It won't be a problem. The three people are in an infantry fighting vehicle, and their civil engineering can't stop them.

The abandoned vehicles on the road had been handled manually and all moved to the side of the road, which indirectly reflected that there should be quite a few survivors nearby.

When they were almost at the roadblock set up by the survivors, they heard a burst of gunfire from the front. He Yuxin slowed down appropriately as she was not sure where the people were.

A few hundred meters ahead on the road, several figures ran out, and a group of people chased after them and were shooting at them. The guns were of various types, basically old-fashioned guns.

He Yuxin stopped the car on the side of the road. What was speechless was that the group of people were so focused on chasing that they didn't notice the sudden infantry fighting vehicle at all.

Suddenly, two pickup trucks rushed out from behind the pursuing crowd, and they rushed straight towards the shooting crowd. The group was caught off guard, and a few people who were slow to react were knocked away and fell to the ground, howling in pain.

People who reacted shot at the pickup truck, and all its glass windows were damaged and shattered by bullets.

A pickup truck was parked sideways behind the group of people being chased, acting as a cover. The people in the pickup truck also had guns, but not many, and only sporadic firepower, which was not on the same level as this side.

Even so, the pursuing crowd did not dare to rush forward and chose to shoot back. The deadlock was soon broken, and a heavy truck rushed out from behind the pursuing crowd. The truck was made of iron plates with many barbs welded on the body, which looked a bit hideous and terrifying. This group of people were quite talented, as they modified a heavy truck into this appearance.

The heavy modified truck broke the balance. The driver of the pickup truck realized the danger, called his companions to get in the car, and drove away. The heavy truck would not let him go easily and rushed towards the pickup truck at full speed.

The pickup truck stepped on the accelerator, driving its wheels to spin a few times, leaving burnt tire marks on the ground. It suddenly rushed out, the heavy truck roared loudly, knocked aside another pickup truck that was blocking the road, and chased after it.

The pursuing crowd once again drove two modified cars and gave chase.

Watching the quickly ended firefight, the three people on the infantry fighting vehicle were a little shocked. Is this what the world outside is like?
