End of the World

Time passed quickly and it was night. He Yuxin and Meng Zihan waited outside the ambulance while Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua returned to the RV to discuss the next strategy.

The matter at the Qishan base has basically come to an end. Wu Bin is mainly afraid of being captured by the special forces and forced to do other tasks. If possible, he wants to leave Qishan tomorrow.

Qiao Xinghua shook his head helplessly. It was really difficult for this group of people. When they arrived at the prison, the prison was occupied in advance, and then they were transferred to Qishan. Qishan encountered the same kind of thing again, and Zhong Yi and several others lost their lives.

"Is Xueyao okay?" Thinking of Zhong Yi, Qiao Xinghua asked.

"Uh...!" Wu Bin looked outside. Meng Zihan was guarding the ambulance. Who would take care of Ling Xueyao?

He walked out of the RV without thinking too much. With Lu Qiqi's previous experience as a lesson, Wu Bin was really afraid that she would do something stupid.

Fortunately, when they arrived, they saw Meng Qi chatting with Ling Xueyao, and she looked much better.

"Brother Bin, is there something wrong?" Meng Qi saw two people suddenly coming over.

"I just came to take a look, nothing more!" Wu Bin waved his hand slightly.

"Don't worry about me!" Ling Xueyao looked at the two of them and said in a flat tone.

"Okay, if you need anything, just tell us!"

Seeing that she was in a normal mood, Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua felt a little relieved.

Back to the map, there are not many options for the team. It is better to learn from the original logging camp and run into the deep mountains and forests.

At the Qishan base, the lights are bright, and the power station has begun to supply electricity to the Qishan base.

The reinforcements sent from the shelter have arrived. They will take over the defense of the Qishan base. Ye Jianfeng handed over the task to the commander of the reinforcements.

Then I received a new mission and went to Jishan area, the former headquarters of the Central Military Region, to the underground bunker to retrieve important data backup.

Ye Jianfeng suggested that they needed to rest and that the Jishan area had fallen at the beginning of the disaster and was very dangerous, so they needed detailed intelligence on the area.

The command was not in a hurry and allowed the team to rest for two days, then send them the information about Jishan.

As for weapons and supplies, the command believes that they have no shortage of them and can get them from the Qishan base if needed. The higher-ups have already informed the garrison troops.

The Flying Wolf Gang outside was in disarray and had already retreated. The reinforcements were responsible for clearing the area and taking care of all the survivors in the bunker.

All members of the Dragon Claw team got on the wheeled artillery and left the Qishan base. Ye Jianfeng tried to contact Wu Bin. Wu Bin knew that they would linger around, but there was nothing he could do but let them come over.

When they arrived at the convoy, everyone seemed to be unwelcoming to them. Indeed, there had been a lot of trouble since their arrival.

The team members stayed in the car, while Ye Jianfeng and Tang Song went to meet Wu Bin.

"How is the injury of that big guy?" Ye Jianfeng asked to express his condolences.

"Don't bother with that!" Qiao Xinghua said unhappily, but Ye Jianfeng didn't care.

"You guys did a great job, now I can't give you a reward!"

Wu Bin immediately interrupted him and said, "No need for rewards, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Ye Jianfeng took a look outside and said, "Prepare an off-road vehicle for me, and the wheeled artillery outside will be yours!"

"This is a sure win!" Tang Song agreed with a smile.

Wu Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "We also have a modified civilian Hummer, which is quite capable of off-roading!"

"No other cars?"

"Yes, it's at the base, or we can repair it for you!" Wu Bin said. The Mengshi vehicle was damaged and left outside the base.

"Okay, you have two days!" Ye Jianfeng agreed. The Sergeant Warrior is definitely better than the civilian Hummer.

"And that is..." Ye Jianfeng hesitated slightly.

Wu Bin knew what he wanted to say, and said, "We do have a little girl named Ye Yuanxin in our team. She came with us from Dongzhou. If you can't stay, don't recognize her!"

"You guys...!" Tang Song wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Jianfeng, who stared at Wu Bin closely: "No room for negotiation?"

At this moment, Ye Jianfeng exuded a terrifying coldness all over his body, and even Tang Song was startled. He pulled Ye Jianfeng and said, "Captain, let's discuss it properly. For Yuan Xin, this big family is very important!"

Ye Jianfeng's momentum eased, Wu Bin opposite him was sweating in his palms, and Qiao Xinghua next to him almost called for help.

"Can't you really take her away?"

Wu Bin exhaled slowly, as if he had changed his mind, and said, "It's not impossible. If you can promise to take good care of her, Xiao Yuanxin has been a member of our team for a long time!"

This move hit the other party's soft spot directly. He was a qualified soldier, but not a good father. Just like now, he had no way to take care of his daughter even if she was around.

Ye Jianfeng remained silent, suppressing the urge to see his daughter. He had to think carefully about his daughter's situation. Who could he trust to take good care of her when he returned to the shelter?

He knew that people like Wu Bin were very resistant to the shelter and would never go there.

"Have you considered going to the Chuanling shelter? I have connections that can accommodate you!" Despite this, Ye Jianfeng still wanted to try.

"We won't go. You don't even dare to leave your daughter in the shelter. How could we believe you?" Wu Bin said sarcastically.

"Actually, the shelter is not what you think...!" Tang Song opened his mouth to explain, but Ye Jianfeng stopped him again.

"I see!"

It is true that the freedom in the shelter is not as good as outside. To put it bluntly, it is worse than being a prisoner in a labor camp. Except that there is no risk to your life, everything else is restricted.

The environment in the shelter is depressing, with a curfew from 7pm to 7am the next day, and the distribution of various daily necessities is at the lowest level.

"Can I see her?"

"Of course!" Wu Bin brought out a tablet computer with surveillance footage from inside the RV.

Ye Jianfeng took it and looked at the screen, his eyes suddenly moistened and he couldn't help himself.

Upon seeing this, Wu Bin left a photo and got out of the RV with Tang Song to leave space for him. He had never been a father, so he couldn't understand that feeling.

In the picture, Ye Yuanxin was helping An Wenwen take care of the baby in the RV. When he heard the voice that he could never hear in his dreams, he couldn't hold it anymore since there was no one around.

At this moment, he really wanted to go over and recognize her, but his mind told him not to do that. From the screen, it seemed that Wu Bin and the others took good care of Ye Yuanxin, and all he heard on the screen was laughter.

Wu Bin deliberately opened the window so that Ye Jianfeng could hear his daughter's voice in the RV next door.

Ye Jianfeng picked up the photo left by Wu Bin. It was printed not long ago and specially left for him. He kept it close to his body.

Ten minutes later, Ye Jianfeng recovered and got out of Qiao Xinghua's car, then went straight back to the tank with no special expression on his face.

“Old Tang…!”

"Captain, if you want to stay, then stay! You have done enough for the country!" Tang Song advised.

"If you don't go down, how can I get to the top?"

"Do you want me to desert?" Ye Jianfeng said.

"No one thinks that!" Tang Song said

"Yes!"

"Captain, please stay!"

The team members agreed and "rebelled" with Tang Song.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial!" said Tang Song.

"Aren't you bastards my family? Do you want me to bring shame to the glory of Dragon Claw?" Ye Jianfeng said in a sonorous voice.

Tang Song smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more.

"Old Tang, how many years do I have left to retire?"

“…Normally speaking, you will be over the age limit to become an instructor in three years!” Tang Song said.

"But the Dragon Cave is short of people right now. As long as you can hold a gun, you have to do it even if you are eighty years old. Don't even think about retiring!"

Ye Jianfeng sighed. There was really no way to have the best of both worlds. He wanted to retire early, unless he was injured in combat. But what was the difference between that and being a cripple? He would not be able to protect his daughter.

Early the next morning, Wu Bin got up and went to find Zhao Bofeng to help the special forces get a car.

Ye Jianfeng took Ding Zhiwen with him, and the others stayed here. The four of them took a truck to the Qishan base.

Ye Jianfeng reported to Qishan's troops in advance, so he drove in without being questioned.

"This man is Zhao Bofeng. He is responsible for the maintenance of all the vehicles in our fleet. He was the one who saved Xiao Yuanxin!" Wu Bin introduced, without taking all the credit for himself.

"Thank you, Master Zhao!" Ye Jianfeng said very politely. If he wasn't driving, he would have gone up and given him a hug.

"Are you Yuan Xin's father?" Zhao Bofeng was extremely surprised. Wu Bin had never told him.

"Yes, I will repay you for saving my life one day!" Ye Jianfeng said solemnly.

"Captain Ye, you're too polite. I just happened to meet you when I was running for my life!" Zhao Bofeng is also a father, so he can naturally understand Ye Jianfeng's feelings.

"Luckily I met Brother Zhao!"

“No, no, no, I dare not call you brother!” Zhao Bofeng waved his hand.

“It’s just a little effort!”

Ye Jianfeng asked about the situation at that time, and seeing that Wu Bin had no objection, Zhao Bofeng slowly told the story.

Fortunately, she met Wu Bin and others in the shelter, otherwise the little girl would not have been able to hold on for too long. It was a rare fate.

No wonder Wu Bin and the others rejected the shelter. Having experienced it, Ye Jianfeng kept the favor in his heart. It can be said that the entire convoy owed him a great favor, and he wanted to do something for them.

At the beginning, Ye Jianfeng asked his connections to inquire at the shelters near Dongzhou to see if there was any news about his daughter. It turned out that they were not registered, but he couldn't say anything in this situation.

The shelter in Dongzhou collapsed half a year ago due to internal problems and factional struggles. This served as a wake-up call for all shelters.

As of now, less than half of the country’s shelters remain, and those that remain are the stronger ones.

Originally, the Chuanling Shelter planned to join forces with the Qiongdao Shelter to carry out a purification operation on Qiongdao Island. Later, problems arose within the Qiongdao Shelter, causing the plan to be shelved, and the Panshan Island plan was moved as a second choice.

Wu Bin also learned about the basic situation in the country from Ye Jianfeng. There are three extremely powerful shelters in the east, west and north. The northwest is mainly composed of the former Northwest Frontier Defense Force. Their main enemies are not zombies but the Flying Wolf Gang and foreign hostile forces.

The north has a large number of land and air forces and is also the core of the regime. In the east, Sichuan is naturally the largest and has the main navy forces.
