End of the World

"Still no clue?"

Wu Bin had been staring at the map since dinner. He Yuxin came over with a plate containing the milk powder that An Wenwen ordered.

"Nothing, I want to go to the power station first!" Wu Bin looked at her and said.

He Yuxin nodded, and An Wenwen inside heard her voice and came out.

"Do you have milk powder?"

"Here, it's not expired!" He Yuxin handed the tray to An Wenwen.

"Okay, thank you, the little one likes this!" An Wenwen took it and went in to make the milk powder.

"Xinxin, it's time to get ready for bed!" Seeing that Ye Yuanxin did not return to bed, He Yuxin looked at her and said softly.

"It's getting dark now, I'm not sleepy!" Ye Yuanxin shook her little head and pointed outside the window with her little hand.

"Xinxin, be good. If you don't sleep, you won't get any candy!" He Yuxin said while half squatting.

"Ah~!" Ye Yuanxin stretched out her tone and pouted her lips to express her protest.

"Ah~!" He Yuxin pouted like her, with a similar expression.

This big and small couple is so cute that Wu Bin next to them couldn't help laughing.

"Ah~!" Ye Yuanxin pouted again.

"Be good, then sister will sleep with you and tell you a story, okay?" He Yuxin smiled and reached out to gently scratch Ye Yuanxin's little face.

"Hehehe!" Ye Yuanxin narrowed her eyes and nodded her head.

"You should go to bed early!" He Yuxin and Wu Bin said this and took Ye Yuanxin to the back of the RV.

"Hmm..." Ye Yuanxin yawned, rubbed her eyes with her little hands, and sat obediently on the edge of the bed.

An Wenwen was making milk powder when she saw a big and a small child sitting by the bed. She waved and greeted them.

"Yu Xin, when did you and Wu Bin meet?" An Wenwen turned her head and asked.

He Yuxin was slightly startled, then said: "We met on the first day, and he saved me!"

"What a wonderful relationship!" An Wenwen said as she screwed the pacifier cap on.

He Yuxin smiled and coaxed Xiao Xinxin to sleep.

The next day, Wu Bin gathered a few people, packed their bags, and estimated that it would take several days to march along the river bank to the power station to conduct preliminary reconnaissance.

Qiao Xinghua stayed behind to organize the personnel and try to get a few engineering vehicles.

This is a very important and difficult task and we cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Wu Bin looked at the map in his hand, feeling somewhat uneasy. If it wasn't feasible, all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

The map was printed out with a printer and simply waterproofed. Several people each carried a copy to prevent it from getting lost.

While walking on the road, he looked back at the convoy from time to time, hoping that everything would go well.

Those who took the action together included He Yuxin, Dafeng, Chen Guangjun, and Yan Nuoling. She insisted on going along, and Jiang Hong and the others also wanted to come, but Wu Bin refused because they didn't need too many people.

"Don't worry, it's not bad deep in the mountains!" He Yuxin noticed Wu Bin's worry and comforted him. In fact, it's not bad like the logging camp, each has its own way of living.

"Well, now that I'm here, I might as well start reclaiming the land myself!" Wu Bin thought so and stopped worrying about it.

The five people followed along the river bank. This place was already quite deep in the outskirts of Qishan Mountain. There were no houses anymore. The river bank was full of the original appearance of nature, with clear water and green mountains.

Without human disturbance, nature has regained its vitality. Birds fly by on both sides of the river from time to time. They are carefree and chirp on the branches, as if they are curious about the five intruders.

"The birds are welcoming us!" He Yuxin was jumping in front, and the natural breath filled her face, making her relax physically and mentally and let down her guard.

There are no zombies, no death or fighting here, and everyone feels very comfortable.

Behind, Dafeng and Yan Nuoling walked side by side. Dafeng was surprisingly quiet, and it was Ling who created the topic.

He Yuxin poked Wu Bin with her hand, signaling to the two people behind her that Wang Xuefei's betrayal had made Dafeng depressed for a while, and now it was a good sign.

After getting to know Yan Nuoling, He Yuxin feels that she is more reliable. She has a strong character and is organized, which makes her better than Wang Xuefei. More importantly, she has the ability and is not just a pretty face.

"You asked Ling to come along on purpose!" He Yuxin said.

Wu Bin, with his gun on his back, picked up a piece of grass and played with it in his hand, nodding: "I found that she is interested in Dafeng. Even if she didn't mention it herself, I would have invited her. Ling and Dafeng are still a good match!"

"I am the captain and cannot interfere in Wang Xuefei's private affairs. When Xinghua was leading the team, he found signs but did not interfere!"

He Yuxin agreed that apart from work arrangements, the management of the team was relatively loose in other matters. Wu Bin believed that everyone was a victim and did not set up too many rules and regulations, but management in this area would be strengthened after the team was stabilized.

"Zi Han told me that she had several private talks with Wang Xuefei, but Wang Xuefei didn't listen!" He Yuxin said while waving her hand and pulling the grass tips. She blamed herself for not knowing Dafeng's personality when he wanted to confess to Wang Xuefei. It was she who helped him. Thinking about it, she felt a little sorry for Dafeng.

"The facts have proved that she doesn't deserve it. Dafeng is extremely cruel outside, especially to his enemies, but he is particularly caring and loyal to his own people!" Wu Bin said coldly. He was very displeased with Wang Xuefei's behavior, but he didn't show it normally.

He Yuxin turned around and looked at Dafeng with a smile. Deep down, she really liked Dafeng's character, as he never hid anything from his people.

"By the way, how is your relationship with Zi Han? Do you get along well?" Wu Bin suddenly asked again.

"Hehe, are you afraid of our palace fight?"

"It's a must... No, what palace fight?" Wu Bin realized something was wrong. Shouldn't it be called a palace fight?

He Yuxin ignored him and thought for a moment, "We get along well. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. There were misunderstandings before. She is not good at expressing her emotions to other people except Qiao Xinghua!"

"And during this time of separation, she has learned a lot and has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch. She is very nice, but everything needs to be explained to her!" He Yuxin glanced at Wu Bin and smiled inexplicably.

Wu Bin suddenly had a bad feeling. Meng Zihan had learned a lot, but He Yuxin must not learn from her!

"Ahem! Everyone is different, and sometimes there will be rejection reactions!"

"Hehe!" He Yuxin covered her mouth and smiled, looking nervous.

As for the two of them, Chen Guangjun at the back has already started to be immune to them because he is used to it.

This flat road is not very far away, and there are rugged rocks and sharp slopes in front of them. It looks frightening. The five people took out the prepared gloves to prevent their hands from being cut by the rocks.

"The road ahead will be difficult, so be careful!" Wu Bin said, and several people responded.

This time, Chen Guangjun was leading the way. Several people were stepping on the rocks. Although they all wore gloves, they were still a little nervous when they started.

At noon, the five people stopped at a river beach to rest and cook. The two girls set up a small pot, Wu Bin and Chen Guangjun went to collect some dry firewood, and Dafeng went to fish with a small fish net. Wu Bin was also impressed that this guy actually brought a fish net.

The water flow here is gentler, and Dafeng can see small fish in the water that are startled by human figures. This place is quiet and remote, just like the primeval forest in a nature reserve, and there are plenty of fish in the river.

Dafeng started doing what he used to do and caught several fish with the fishing net. Wu Bin told him to just catch enough to eat because the weather was hot and the food would go bad soon.

Dafeng fished a few times and found that there were actually river shrimps, proving that the water quality of the river was very good. So he went into the river shirtless to catch shrimps, but they slid away so quickly that he had to catch them all.

While Dafeng was eating fish and shrimp, He Yuxin had already prepared some rice to cook. Although she brought some dry food with her, it was prepared for when she couldn't cook.

After helping, Yan Nuoling ran to find Dafeng, and then the three of them saw two people playing in the river.

"Mandarin ducks playing in the water!" was all Wu Bin could say.

Chen Guangjun caught two mice and brought them back. There were still many small animals around.

"Where did you catch Jun?" Wu Bin asked after seeing it.

"I found two holes over there, they were dug out!" said Chen Guangjun.

"Aren't you afraid it's a snake?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll just have snake soup at noon!" Chen Guangjun looked calm, he was not afraid of these things.

This amused He Yuxin who was cooking. She asked with a smile: "How do you make this?"

"Let's roast it. Do you want to bring cumin?" Chen Guangjun asked.

"Yes!" He Yuxin nodded.

"Okay, I'll take care of it, you guys wait and eat!" Chen Guangjun walked aside and cleaned their internal organs.

Dafeng and Yan Nuoling didn't spend much time in the water before returning with their catch, which included fish, shrimps and small crabs.

This lunch was very rich. There were not many shrimps and crabs, but when they were put into the porridge, it became river fresh porridge with an attractive aroma. There were also grilled fish and grilled gophers, or maybe mountain rats.

He Yuxin's cooking skills are excellent. She can make simple ingredients taste delicious, and everyone gave her a thumbs up in praise.

Eating the delicious food, the five people felt very satisfied, it was just like they were out for a picnic. The food in the convoy was too bad, and people are like iron and rice is steel. They must improve the food after they settle down.

After eating and drinking, the five people were full of energy and tried their best to get to the power station tomorrow.

After extinguishing the campfire, the five people headed towards their destination again. The road ahead was all rocky. The river water became faster and there were many fallen tree trunks on the river bank, which were severely corroded.

On the way, He Yuxin found some wild black fungus and collected them, so she had dinner.

Now not only the rocks but also the plants have become lush. The abundant water vapor has spawned many moisture-loving plants. At this speed, it is estimated that it will take the day after tomorrow to reach the destination.

After each section, the five people would rest for a few minutes. They had exhausted too much energy. The river had become narrower, but the water was fast and one to two meters deep, so they could not wade forward.

The water flows faster as you go upstream, otherwise there would be no need to build a power station.

Wu Bin suddenly felt that they were too isolated from the world. It was very difficult to go in and out. They could not produce industrial products and could only rely on the outside world to obtain them.

The sky has become gloomy and a rainstorm is brewing. There will be more rain in the mountains. It has been a while since there has been any rain. It is time for an outbreak.

Wu Bin and his four companions gave up their journey and turned into the woods to look for a shelter. Today's journey ended here, which was probably about ten kilometers.

The five people were lucky to find a small cave in the woods. The space was very small, just enough for the five of them to stay. Before the rain fell, they collected enough firewood.
