End of the World

"Yes!" Dafeng slapped his thigh and said, "Can't we just tow it with a pickup truck?"

Hey! This idea seems good. He Yuxin and Qiao Xinghua looked at Wu Bin, wanting to know if Dafeng was right.

Wu Bin held his forehead with one hand. Dafeng’s brain circuit is good, but the problem is where is the tow rope!

"That's not what I meant. I meant to hook up a cable from a pickup truck or remove the battery and light the car on fire!"

"Connect? How?" The three people seemed to have heard this term somewhere before.

Wu Bin didn't explain any more. He drove the pickup truck over, found two jumper wires from the car, opened the hood, clamped the wires to the positive and negative poles of the pickup truck, and connected the other side to the positive and negative poles of the truck.

"Is that all?" Dafeng asked when he saw Wu Bin finished connecting the wires.

"I don't know. I haven't done it either. This pickup truck is quite peculiar. It has two batteries with a total voltage of 24 volts. It should be able to start the car." Wu Bin was not sure either. He didn't know what the rated voltage of the truck's starter was. If it was too small, it would be fine. At worst, it would not start. If it was too large, it might burn the circuit. Trucks should be 24 volts.

Wu Bin asked He Yuxin to get in the pickup truck, put it in neutral and step on the accelerator slightly to keep it idling, while Dafeng got in the light truck and tried to start the vehicle.

After connecting to the pickup truck's power supply, the light truck's starter finally responded, and the vehicle was successfully started after turning the ignition switch several times.

Wu Bin quickly removed the live wire and reinstalled the positive and negative poles of the light truck. He was relieved only when the abnormal charging indicator light on the dashboard went out, proving that the battery of the light truck was still usable.

"Okay, let's go back!" Wu Bin estimated that the few people had been out for a while, and their family members would be worried if they didn't go back for too long.

Everyone has no objections. We have gained a lot today. We received a truckload of express deliveries in just one trip. I hope I will have more luck like this in the future.

"What major did you study before, Brother Bin?" On the way back, He Yuxin found that Wu Bin seemed to know a lot about cars, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Before the disaster broke out, I was studying auto repair in school!" Wu Bin said. Originally, he had no interest in the auto repair major and enrolled in it purely to make a living in the future. He became interested after a deeper understanding of the major.

"I see. Unlike me, the major I studied doesn't seem relevant now!" He Yuxin sighed. What's the use of having good grades? They are of no use now. She realized that what she learned were not the necessary skills for survival.

"You can't say that. Who could have thought that the world would become like this? It's just that you didn't position yourself correctly. If you want to be a strong person in life, it's not too late to learn now!" Wu Bin comforted her. He Yuxin's learning ability is unquestionable. How bad can a top student who can win awards be? And she will definitely be faster than himself in learning again.

"Then Brother Bin, can you teach me?" He Yuxin understood what Wu Bin meant. She was confident that she could learn what others could do.

"Of course, I will teach you everything I know. I just hope that in the future I won't end up teaching my apprentice and starving myself to death!" Wu Bin joked. In fact, he himself didn't know much either.

"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Bin. Seeing how stupid I am, it will definitely take me a long time to learn!" He Yuxin said with a smile. She just wanted to be able to help out in the future and didn't want to be like she is now, knowing nothing.

Two vehicles drove into the factory one after the other. The three people at home gathered around. The two girls were particularly excited when they saw the delivery vehicles. Before the disaster, most people enjoyed the pleasure of opening packages, let alone now.

Dafeng reversed the car to the warehouse door so that he could move the parcels in the car. Then he found a knife and everyone worked together to open the parcels. SF Express is more expensive than other express delivery companies and has a faster delivery time, so they are all urgent or valuable items.

As expected, several people, as if they had made an appointment, opened the box and took away valuable items such as mobile phones and laptops. However, now that the Internet and power were cut off, their functions were no more than bricks.

Wu Bin picked up a larger box and cut the tape with a knife. There was a smaller box inside. This box was printed with lace and was very exquisite.

When he took out the box, the first thing he saw was the words "Ancient Chinese Clothing". Wu Bin opened it and took a look. There were beautiful lace patterns embroidered on the clothes. It should be a women's Hanfu, and it looked quite expensive.

Wu Bin casually threw the box to He Yuxin, not knowing whether she liked ancient costumes or not. He Yuxin was a little confused. She picked up the box and found that it contained Hanfu. Wu Bin threw it to her, probably as a gift for her.

"Thank you, Brother Bin!" He Yuxin picked up the box. She had always liked Hanfu, but she had no money to buy it. A good set of Hanfu was very expensive.

Dafeng approached Wu Bin curiously and asked, "Brother Bin, what did you give her?"

"It's nothing, just a set of women's clothes!" Wu Bin said as he threw the express box away.

When Meng Zihan and Lu Qiqi didn't have any special reaction when they saw the box, Dafeng believed what Wu Bin said.

Time flies, a week passed, and during this time, zombies finally wandered outside the factory. These zombies were basically beaten away by Dafeng as sandbags. In order for the three girls to adapt to the zombies, Wu Bin and his friends took great pains to tie up a zombie and let them practice. Although they were a little disgusting in the end, it basically met their expectations.

It has been more than ten days since the disaster broke out, which is not a long time, but in these ten days, no one has seen any other living people, and there is no talk of government military rescue. It seems that they have disappeared since the city government sent out the last message. It is fortunate that we did not believe it at the time, otherwise it is hard to say where they are now.

"Brother Bin, you are right!" He Yuxin came over and said. It was almost time for dinner and it was Wu Bin's turn to help with cooking today, so he decided to take a break.

"What is right?" Wu Bin was a little confused and didn't know what He Yuxin was talking about.

"Government rescue!" He Yuxin said. She had been thinking about these things these days. She was really naive at that time. If she had stayed, she probably wouldn't be alive today.

"Oh, why are you thinking about these things? We are still here, and the government must be here. But it's hard to say about rescue!" Wu Bin said. Dongzhou City, as the provincial capital, has troops stationed there, so there must be a survivor base somewhere.

He Yuxin nodded and said, "Perhaps the government has its own difficulties!"

Wu Bin knew that He Yuxin still had a glimmer of hope for government rescue. After all, the government's credibility was still very strong. It was just that this disaster was so serious that it basically destroyed the original order. He hoped that the original government would remain and would not become a local lord.

After dinner in the evening, everyone did not go back to rest, but gathered around a large table made up of three small tables to discuss the matter. This would be a regular weekly meeting in the future, and today was the first time.

"Tonight we will discuss our future goals or how to survive better by candlelight." As the initiator of the meeting, Wu Bin spoke first.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with what Wu Bin said. Although it seemed that everyone had done a lot every day over the past week, they had actually done a lot of useless work, which had little significance in improving the living environment and was inefficient. They often didn't know what to do next and had to plan goals.

"So does everyone have any plans for the future?" Wu Bin asked them.

Several people looked at each other and basically shook their heads slightly, with a vague idea of ​​the future.

"Brother Bin, do you have any plans of your own?" He Yuxin asked. She had already decided to stay with Wu Bin as long as he didn't mind, and work hard to improve her survival skills, but she had not planned for the long-term future. Now that Wu Bin brought it up today, she would think about it carefully when she goes back.

"Brother Bin, you should speak first!" Dafeng scratched his head. He felt that it would be enough for him to just follow Wu Bin. Anyway, his goal was to survive. It was really simple and unpretentious.

"Okay!" Wu Bin responded. It seemed that everyone had not seriously thought about how to live in the future, so he was the only one who could talk about his plans first.

"No one knows how long this disaster will last, so I have been thinking about this question these days. If it continues in this state, we may not have any problem surviving in the current way, but what if all the zombies in the city come out? Or the zombies will mutate and become stronger, and we are so close to the city, which is very dangerous, and the wall outside cannot protect us." Wu Bin expressed his concerns in one breath and looked at everyone.

Everyone's faces gradually became solemn. What Wu Bin said made sense. This place was too close to the city. In the past two days, scattered zombies had appeared outside. If the zombies in the city came out, this place would become very dangerous.

"Brother Bin means that we should prepare for the worst. So what should we do?" Qiao Xinghua asked. He also felt that it was impossible to stay here forever. He would have to leave one day, so it was not a bad thing to prepare early.

"I don't have a good solution to this problem. I have two ideas. One is to find the nearest government shelter. The other is to find a few powerful vehicles that can provide protection for us and head north to less populated areas." Wu Bin stated his ideas and solicited everyone's opinions.

"Is there a government shelter nearby?" Li Xun asked. He had never seen any living people so far, let alone government troops.

"I remember there are troops stationed in Dongzhou City! Why haven't I seen them?" Dafeng said. He is considered a local, so even if he didn't pay attention, he had heard of them.

"Dafeng, Yuxin, you are locals, do you know where the garrison base is?" Wu Bin asked. He was basically certain that everyone would tend to look for the army.

"I don't know about that." Dafeng said embarrassedly. He was a local and didn't know where the garrison was, which was a real failure.

"I remember that during my freshman year military training, instructors from the army came over. I think it was in Xinzhou District!" He Yuxin said uncertainly. She was not very interested in the military.

"Xinzhou District?" Wu Bin frowned. It seemed to be in the southern direction of Dongzhou.

"Is the garrison base a shelter?" Meng Zihan questioned. The situation in Xinzhou District must be no better than here.

"It's hard to say. Xinzhou District is a prosperous area. It's unlikely that the army will set up a shelter there!" Wu Bin shook his head. He had never been there, but if there were too many zombies, the army would not turn the base into a shelter.
