End of the World

Chapter 277 Conversation

The convoy escaped the disaster, and Qiao Xinghua immediately looked for a place to stop. Several vehicles had already reported that their wheels had flat tires, probably because they were hit by shrapnel.

There was a foul stench in the stopped convoy. The bodies of the cars were all covered with the blood of zombies, mixed with a lot of mutilated body parts, which was disgusting.

The best way to save supplies is to let everyone smell the corpse, so many people probably have no appetite for lunch.

"Quick, combat team, clear out the zombies around here!"

Qiao Xinghua called Wu Bin but received no response. He got out of the car to check and found that Wu Bin's RV did not keep up with the convoy.

"Brother Tao, where is Brother Bin's RV?" Qiao Xinghua immediately went to ask Chen Haitao, who was in charge of the cover.

"He asked us to go first, why didn't he catch up?" Chen Haitao asked.

Just as Qiao Xinghua was about to say something, he saw An Wenwen coming over from behind, carrying the baby on her back and holding Ye Yuanxin's hand. He hurried forward.

"Sister An, where's Brother Bin?"

"He asked me to get off the car halfway, and I didn't know!" An Wenwen was also confused at this moment.

Jiang Hong, who was the last one, ran over and said nervously, "Brother Bin didn't catch up!"

Jiang Hong just realized that the RV should be following behind him.

"The captain said that the RV had a breakdown and asked us to tow the ambulance!" Chen Haitao said at this time, but he was still a little confused.

"Brother Tao, I'll leave the convoy to you. I'll go back and look for it!" Qiao Xinghua realized that something was wrong, and after saying a word, he turned around and ran towards the Hummer.

"Uncle Zhao, take the car repair tools and follow me!" Qiao Xinghua shouted as they passed by Scania. Zhao Bofeng, who was checking the tires, was startled and quickly packed up his things and followed without having time to ask.

"Xinghua, is it that Wu Bin didn't catch up?" Fang Xiaoyun asked hurriedly when she saw the two people in a hurry.

"Yes, I'll go back and look for it!" Qiao Xinghua responded.

"What?" Zhao Bofeng reacted and wondered why the captain didn't call him when the car broke down?

"I'll go too. I roughly know what's going on!" Fang Xiaoyun said, feeling even more worried.

Qiao Xinghua paused, looked at Fang Xiaoyun, and nodded: "Let's talk in the car!"

Fang Xiaoyun told Cheng Xiaochun something and followed Qiao Xinghua with the first aid kit.

"Brother Jun, get in the car!"

The voice came before the person. Chen Guangjun, who was testing hearing on both sides, heard Qiao Xinghua's shouting.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" He looked at the three of them and asked.

"Brother Bin's car didn't catch up!"

"Get in the car!" Chen Guangjun got into the car and started the engine without any further ado.

The Hummer carrying the four people returned amidst the strange looks of everyone in the convoy, and no one knew what had happened.

"You look so hurried, I thought you came to care about me!" Chen Guangjun said humorously.

"Is your ear okay? Is it serious?" Fang Xiaoyun asked seriously.

"Can you hear me? Can you go back and help me check it out?" Chen Guangjun said.

"Okay!" Fang Xiaoyun nodded.

"Sister Yun, why don't you think Brother Bin caught up?" Qiao Xinghua asked. He was very anxious at this time.

"Alas!" Fang Xiaoyun sighed first, then said with great self-blame: "It's my fault. I insisted on calling an ambulance. Wu Bin was attacked by a zombie dog when he was tying the tow rope!"

Fang Xiaoyun lowered her head. If she hadn't insisted on calling for an ambulance, this wouldn't have happened.

Zhao Bofeng felt a little guilty when he heard this, as it was his responsibility that the ambulance broke down and he failed to provide good protection for the vehicle.

"What? How could this be!" Qiao Xinghua's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. If either Wu Bin or Yu Xin were injured, they would never come back!" Fang Xiaoyun felt very regretful. She was the one who ignored the safety of her companions.

"Let's find the person first!" Chen Guangjun couldn't say any words of comfort.

The Hummer broke into the bombing area, the smoke from the explosion dissipated and was replaced by burning smoke. The bomb caused a large area of ​​fire, but the military did not care, because there would be casualties in every battle.

The houses were reduced to ruins, the woods were devastated and burning, and the thick smoke produced by the fire could be clearly seen more than ten kilometers away.

The smoke and dust produced by the fire severely blocked the vision, so the Hummer had to slow down, and Chen Guangjun drove by feeling.

Not long after they started driving, the four people in the car saw the outline of a truck in front of them and a raging fire. They couldn't help but feel nervous.

When we got closer, we found out it was a false alarm. It was an abandoned truck on the road, not the Manka RV.

"If we can't find them, we have to go back. Otherwise we will be trapped!" Chen Guangjun said. The prerequisite for saving people is to ensure one's own safety first.

"Keep moving forward!" Qiao Xinghua spoke in a deep voice and tried to call out, but received no response.

On the other side, the RV was moving at a steady speed. Outside, there was already flames and thick smoke, but Wu Bin did not seem anxious and even had the leisure to drink a sip of water.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

He Yuxin shook her head gently. Apart from the pain from the bump, she didn't feel any other discomfort.

"Then it should be fine!" Wu Bin breathed a sigh of relief. It might be because he hit the bumper of the ambulance when he fell to the ground. During the days when the team was resting, the ambulance was cleaned and there was no zombie virus left.

The two have seen infected people, who will mutate within one to two hours. During this process, the infected person's skin will gradually lose its color and bloodshot will appear in their eyes.

"Get back to the team!" Wu Bin had just finished speaking when a Hummer passed him from the opposite lane. Due to the smoke, they were very close to each other and could only see each other.

Chen Guangjun braked, swerved and turned around to catch up with the car in front. Qiao Xinghua called him through the intercom, but there was still no response. The Hummer drove to the side and flashed the rearview mirror of the car in front with its lights.

Wu Bin saw the lights and honked twice in response. He Yuxin took the intercom and told Qiao Xinghua that she was safe.

"It's good, it's good!" Qiao Xinghua put his heart back into his stomach, and Fang Xiaoyun also calmed his chest to calm his nervous emotions.

He Yuxin didn't explain the reason, so Qiao Xinghua naturally didn't ask any more questions and just returned to the team first.

The two cars moved one in front and one behind, and soon returned to the convoy. Wu Bin pulled over and looked at the team members who were cleaning up the zombie corpses. He felt that he was not qualified to lead anyone as he was too sentimental.

Qiao Xinghua got out of the car and walked to the door of the RV. It took a while for the door to open.

"I'm glad you two are okay. It's all my fault!" Fang Xiaoyun said anxiously, and it was obvious that she felt really guilty.

"Sister Yun, you are thinking about everyone. We don't blame you!" He Yuxin said.

"I'll help you treat your wound!" Fang Xiaoyun put down the first aid kit.

"Okay!" He Yuxin looked back at Wu Bin and got out of the car.

Wu Bin was still sitting in the driver's seat, leaning on the steering wheel with his eyes closed.

"Nothing, I'm going to check the vehicle!" Zhao Bofeng knew that several people had something to say, so he decided not to just stand there.

Chen Guangjun patted Zhao Bofeng on the shoulder, winked at Qiao Xinghua and got out of the car. Qiao Xinghua closed the door, and there were only two people left in the car.

"What's going on?" Qiao Xinghua asked, his tone sounding somewhat questioning.

Wu Bin remained silent, and Qiao Xinghua walked forward and sat in the passenger seat.

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

"What is the behavior of leaving the team without permission? How will others view you? Fortunately, they don't know about it. The situation is urgent and no one will pursue it. As the captain, can't you consider everyone?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not worthy!" Wu Bin said in a depressed tone. Along the way, he felt more and more that he did not have the talent to be a leader.

"Not worthy? Then who is worthy? Are you piling up burdens? Ah!" Qiao Xinghua said loudly.

"Is there anyone in the world who is born a leader? Who doesn't take one step at a time like a baby? We haven't judged you yet, but you deny yourself. What efforts have you made?"

Qiao Xinghua said angrily that he had been accumulating emotions for a long time. Wu Bin had always acted without considering the impact on the team, as if he only cared about the few people around him.

As a friend this is very valuable, but as a leader one must have a sense of the overall situation and not do anything extreme for the sake of a certain person or thing. How much responsibility does a leader bear behind his or her glory?

Wu Bin raised his head and looked at Qiao Xinghua, who was angry. "I have never thought about being a hero or achieving great success. I just want to live a simple life with the one I love!"

"You think everyone doesn't?" Qiao Xinghua retorted: "Are the lessons from the shelter not enough? You have to fight for the right to survive. If you don't control your own destiny, you will never live the life you want, and even if you do, it won't last long!"

"Some things are arranged by fate. Everyone has his own destiny. I hope you think about it seriously. Such a team can't be obtained just by wanting it!" Qiao Xinghua pointed at the convoy outside the window.

Wu Bin still shook his head, thinking that he couldn't do it. He had never been good at management.

Qiao Xinghua went up and grabbed Wu Bin by the collar, looked him straight in the eye and said, "We didn't get here by luck. If you don't even believe in yourself, what else can you believe in in the world!"

"Don't expect anyone to treat your woman better!"

Their eyes met, and time froze for a few seconds. Wu Bin lowered his eyes, and Qiao Xinghua let go of his collar. Coincidentally, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey! Xinghua, what are you two doing with the door closed?"

It was Meng Zihan's voice. Qiao Xinghua glanced at Wu Bin, then smiled and went to open the door.

"Nothing, just discussing something with Brother Bin!"

"Really?" Meng Zihan was a little suspicious and glanced at Wu Bin.

Wu Bin collected his expression and smiled: "Yes, Xinghua has provided me with a new idea. Remember what Jun said? I think the appearance of the military bomber here may be related to the military base in Qishan!"

"That's right, fortunately they didn't attack indiscriminately!" said Qiao Xinghua.

The performance of the two successfully fooled Meng Zihan. She didn't dwell on it and asked Wu Bin, "Why did you fall behind? Is Yu Xin okay?"

"She's fine. The car stalled halfway and that's why we fell behind. I'm sorry for making everyone worried!" Wu Bin said apologetically.

"That's good. I'll get busy then!" Meng Zihan was smart. She didn't ask why the communication was not connected. There might be some reason. The two of them closed the door probably because of this.

The two people thought they had kept it a secret from Meng Zihan, but they didn't expect that she guessed it herself.
