End of the World

In the second half of the night, Wu Bin woke up Chen Guangjun and others to stand guard. Although it was still raining heavily outside, Chen Guangjun still worked diligently until dawn. Nothing happened that night.

When Wu Bin woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Chen Guangjun and the others had only slept for four hours, so they probably didn't get up until noon.

"Brother Bin, you're awake. Here, this is the porridge I cooked. Drink it while it's hot!" He Yuxin brought over a bowl of porridge. When she woke up in the morning, she realized that she had fallen asleep last night. Wu Bin sent her back and woke up Sister Yun.

"Okay!" Listening to He Yuxin's gentle words, Wu Bin originally didn't want to eat, but seeing her like this, it was difficult to refuse.

After drinking the porridge, Wu Bin got out of the car to move around. Shi Yi Bo sat quietly beside the car and saw Wu Bin nod. Wu Bin responded. Zhu Zhenguo stood on the roof of the car to keep watch. This was his initiative, so Shi Yi Bo just let him do it.

Seeing Dafeng and Qiao Xinghua digging something, Wu Bin stepped forward and asked, "Are you so bored that you're digging here for fun?"

"Brother Bin, you're awake. Come and play with us?" Dafeng was not serious at all. There was dirt on his hands and he held a jar in the other hand.

"Brother Bin, don't pay attention to him. He's still talking in his sleep!" Qiao Xinghua stopped what he was doing and looked at Dafeng.

"Are you digging earthworms?" Wu Bin guessed when he saw the jar in Dafeng's hand.

"Yes, let's go fishing together later?" Qiao Xinghua invited. When they woke up in the morning, they found that there were many fish swimming in the pond.

"Okay, I like fishing too, but where is the fishhook?" Wu Bin remembered that it seemed that Lu Qiqi had opened the package and found the fishing gear. At that time, Dafeng said that it could be used to hang a piece of meat on it to make a zombie perpetual motion machine, which made everyone laugh.

"I don't know. I was in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot where I put it!" Dafeng thought about it. Fishing gear was not an important thing, so he didn't remember where he put it.

"Forget it, you guys keep digging, I'll go back and look for it!" Wu Bin turned around and went back to the RV.

When He Yuxin saw Wu Bin coming back, she started looking around and asked, "Brother Bin, what are you looking for?"

"Fishing gear, the one with two fishing rods!" Wu Bin said. He didn't find it in his car, so could it be in other cars?

"Fishing gear?" He Yuxin had some impression. She remembered that it was Lu Qiqi who opened the box. "Is there a box with two fish printed on it?"

"I think so!" Wu Bin was not sure. He just remembered that there was such a thing.

"It should be in Dafeng's car!" He Yuxin remembered that there was such a box among the items she and Sister Yun moved yesterday.

"That's great, let's go look for it!" Wu Bin was delighted. He Yuxin was really amazing. She remembered all these trivial things.

The box was placed there by He Yuxin and Sister Yun, so she found it quickly in Dafeng's car.

"Brother Bin, do you want to go fishing?" He Yuxin handed the box to Wu Bin and said.

Wu Bin opened the box, and it was indeed the one that Lu Qiqi had opened. He replied, "Yes! You want to come with us?"

"Well, Brother Bin wants to teach me!" He Yuxin said with a smile on her face. There had been no activities since the end of the world, so of course she wanted to go fishing now that she could.

"Of course!" Wu Bin gently stroked her hair.

Seeing Wu Bin holding a box, Dafeng asked, "Brother Bin, did you find it?"

Wu Bin nodded and called He Yuxin over: "Yuxin found it, I told her she would know where it is immediately!"

"Yu Xin is amazing! I wish my Xiao Han could be half as good as you!" Qiao Xinghua praised.

He Yuxin felt a little embarrassed, and then she said to Qiao Xinghua: "Aren't you afraid that Zi Han would hear you saying that?"

"I'm just stating the facts!" Qiao Xinghua shook his head. Meng Zihan was indeed more confused than him sometimes, even though she was like this. Qiao Xinghua said arrogantly, "What's the big deal if she heard it? I want her to know who has the final say!"

"What do you mean, who has the final say?" Meng Zihan and Lu Qiqi saw that everyone was coming over to take a look. After hearing Qiao Xinghua's arrogant words, everyone tried to hold back their laughter. This was what it meant to be handsome for only three seconds.

"Huh?" Qiao Xinghua was stunned. No way, is this such a coincidence?

"Xinghua, what were you yelling about just now?" Meng Zihan went over to question. She suspected that Qiao Xinghua was talking about her again.

"Nothing... nothing, we're just digging a hole for fun!" Qiao Xinghua didn't dare to say much. It would be very difficult to coax Meng Zihan if she was angry.

"Haha!" Dafeng laughed. If his hands weren't dirty, he would have wanted to go up and knock Qiao Xinghua down. Since you keep arguing with me, someone can deal with you.

"Dafeng, what are you laughing at?" Meng Zihan asked.

"It's nothing, we are just digging a hole for fun!" Dafeng is not afraid of Meng Zihan, and this guy also spoke seriously.

Meng Zihan frowned. She felt something was weird. Were they stupid? Were they digging holes for fun?

"Zi Han, Xinghua just asked if you can join us in fishing. He's afraid you'll get bored!" He Yuxin covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, explaining softly to Meng Zi Han.

"Ah!" Meng Zihan didn't expect this to happen, "Xinghua, I wronged you. I must be gentler next time!" Meng Zihan believed what He Yuxin said and thought that Qiao Xinghua wanted to give her a surprise and kept it from her. Suddenly, she felt like she had eaten candy in her heart. It turned out that he had been thinking about her all the time.

"No...it's okay, you go back first, I'll dig the hole first...Earthworm will call you later!" Qiao Xinghua saw Meng Zihan suddenly happy and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yuxin, thank you!" After Meng Zihan and Lu Qiqi left, Qiao Xinghua thanked them. If it weren't for He Yuxin's help and cover up, who knows how the day would have ended.

"Okay, don't thank me. Just take care of her more in the future. Girls need care the most at times like this." He Yuxin said. As a woman, she naturally knew better what Meng Zihan wanted.

"Don't worry, I will." Qiao Xinghua knew that what He Yuxin said was true. He and Meng Zihan had indeed had less communication during this period. He often went out and was very tired when he came back, so he didn't talk much to her. Meng Zihan's temper had been getting worse and worse recently, and she was venting her dissatisfaction with him. Meng Zihan used to be very considerate.

When Qiao Xinghua and Da Fengshou Gong had almost finished digging up the earthworms, they both washed their hands and feet, while Wu Bin was distributing the fishing gear.

"Brother Bin, how do we split the two fishing rods?" He Yuxin had never fished before and thought that fishing required a fishing rod.

"It's okay, as long as there are enough fish hooks and fishing lines, you can find substitutes for floats and fishing rods!" Wu Bin assembled two fishing rods first. The two fishing rods in his hands were both three-meter and five-meter long casting rods, which Wu Bin was not used to using.

"Brother Bin, this is my fishing rod!" Dafeng walked over with a long bamboo pole in his hand.

When He Yuxin saw Dafeng's clothesline, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Wu Bin turned around and saw, wow, whose clothesline is this?

"Where did you steal it?"

"What's the point of calling it stealing? It's called borrowing!" Dafeng said righteously.

"Borrow? I guess you'd like to ask the master to lie down and have a rest!" After so much time, Wu Bin has long been accustomed to Dafeng and understands his style.

"They were yelling and wouldn't let me in!" Dafeng said, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Qiao Xinghua also came over with two thin metal rods of just the right length. I guess he had already prepared them for Meng Zihan.

"Okay, here are the things. These are for one fishing rod!" Wu Bin distributed the already allocated fishing hooks and fishing lines to everyone. Wu Bin originally wanted Lao Zhu to come over, but Lao Zhu refused and said that he would just help everyone keep watch.

Except for Lao Zhu who was keeping watch, Chen Guangjun and Li Xun who didn't get up, and Fang Xiaoyun who was not interested, everyone else, including Shi Yibo who had a foot injury, picked up their fishing rods to fish.

The two professional sea-casting rods were used by He Yuxin and Meng Zihan, while everyone else used simple fishing rods. Meng Zihan and Lu Qiqi were originally afraid of the earthworms that would still move even if they were broken into pieces, but when they saw He Yuxin overcome the difficulties and cut the earthworms with her fingers and put them on the hooks, they followed suit. Although it was a bit disgusting, everyone had moved corpses before, so it was nothing.

It took He Yuxin several tries before she was able to cast the bait, and everyone else followed suit. Perhaps because the fish had been hungry for too long, a fish would be caught in less than a minute after the bait was cast, and a spectacular scene appeared, with people pulling fish up from time to time, and the water surface boiling.

Gradually everyone became numb. Except for the girls who were still slightly excited, the men just lowered and pulled the rods mechanically. There was no challenge at all.

In just a short while, everyone caught more than seventy fish, an average of ten per person.

"Brother Bin, can this fish be eaten? We caught so many!" Dafeng asked. It would be meaningless to fish if the fish couldn't be eaten.

"I don't know about that. It should be okay. It looks normal." Wu Bin didn't know, but the fish looked the same as the one he bought at the market before.

"Yes, fish can be eaten normally. There was braised fish in the army canteen last week!" Shi Yibo said. Although the shelter gave priority to supplying food to the troops, it was good to have a meal of meat a week. If this was the case for the troops, let alone the people below.

"So we have fish to eat today?" Dafeng was delighted. No one had eaten fresh meat since the disaster, and they almost forgot what it tasted like.

"So what flavor of fish do you want to eat?" Chef He Yuxin asked everyone.

"How about steamed food?" Wu Bin said after thinking for a moment, mainly because there weren't many seasonings in the car.

"This is great! I haven't had steamed fish in a long time!" Everyone knew the actual situation and did not object.

"Let's deal with the fish first!" Everyone put down their fishing rods and helped to deal with the fish. After all, everyone had already had enough fishing.

"You guys had something fun to do and you didn't call me!" Chen Guangjun had just gotten up and walked out of the car, only to find Wu Bin and the others fishing in the breeze, looking so leisurely and comfortable.

"Okay, you do it!" Everyone stuffed the fishing rods into his hands, which made Chen Guangjun wonder, what happened? Why did everyone leave when he came? Chen Guangjun understood when he saw Wu Bin and the others handling the fish, but how long did everyone fish for this pile of fish?

Soon Chen Guangjun found out why everyone left. He was also a fishing enthusiast, but he couldn't stand the cast and drag. He caught five or six fish in a short while. It turned out that this was how he got those fish. Fishing itself is to kill time and enjoy the process. What's the point of fishing for this kind of experience!

Chen Guangjun was holding six fish, which he had caught in five minutes. The fishing game was over before it even began. Is this the invincible loneliness?
