End of the World

Chapter 4 Suburbs

"I can still hold on!" He Yuxin forced a smile, but her slightly pale face betrayed her.

Wu Bin helped He Yuxin sit down and said, "Yuxin, don't be so stubborn. I'll think of a way."

Wu Bin looked around and saw several cars crashed into each other on the road not far away. Wu Bin called out to He Yuxin and ran over, trying to get a moving car.

There were two wandering zombies beside the damaged car. Wu Bin designed a plan to lead them away and avoid direct combat with them if possible.

After leading the zombies away, Wu Bin got into a silver-gray pickup truck. Among the several cars, only this one had the least severe exterior damage and had a high probability of being able to start.

The pickup truck started with a hum, and Wu Bin was overjoyed, finally having a car to get around. He immediately backed the car back to pick up He Yuxin.

"Wow! I finally don't have to walk!" He Yuxin was delighted, and it was obvious that she had been holding on.

"Well, the next step is to get food, but it's best to go to a less crowded place in the suburbs first."

He Yuxin had no objection to Wu Bin's decision, so Wu Bin drove to the suburbs.

It is much safer in the car. Generally, a small group of zombies will hardly pose a threat to the people in the car. If you are walking, even if you encounter one zombie, it will be dangerous, let alone a group.

The scenery along the way is not much different from the previous one, the difference is that it is less lively and more murderous, and the crashed cars on the road are silently telling the disaster. The once bustling town has become depressed, with only the blowing wind and mutated zombies visiting.

"Brother Bin, when do you think this disaster will end?" He Yuxin looked at the deathly scene flashing outside the window, remembering that she was still fantasizing about rescue yesterday. Now it seemed like a pipe dream.

"This is our common problem, and perhaps only time can give the answer!" Wu Bin didn't think too much about it, as people live in the present.

"What if the disaster continues?" He Yuxin looked at the scene outside and was no longer as optimistic as before. She felt that she might die in this disaster like most people in the near future.

"Don't worry, we are still alive now, aren't we? I believe we can see the day when the disaster ends, it will happen!" Wu Bin sensed a hint of pessimism in He Yuxin and comforted her.

"Yeah." After hearing Wu Bin's comfort, He Yuxin felt much better. At least now she was not alone.

Dongzhou City, as the capital of Southeast Province, is a major economic province with a dense population, which results in a much denser population of zombies here than in other places. A vehicle passing by residential areas can bring out a large number of zombies.

After walking for about half an hour, Wu Bin and his companions were finally far away from the urban area. The zombies here were much more scattered, and sometimes there were no zombies to be seen for a long distance.

"Yuxin, we are roughly here now. There are no areas with densely built-up areas nearby. There is an ecological park to the west, but there may be some zombies there." Wu Bin parked the car, opened the map on his phone, and explained to He Yuxin their approximate location.

"Ecological park? Is it Dongzhou Xishan Lake Park?" He Yuxin asked.

"Yes, you have been here?" Wu Bin was surprised that He Yuxin actually knew it was Xishan Lake Park.

"I came here last year. The ecological park is nice and the scenery is beautiful." He Yuxin nodded. She had been here once with her friends and had a good impression of the visit.

"Do you want to take another tour?" Wu Bin joked.

"No, there are too many people." He Yuxin shook her head, thinking that she would never be able to come back if she went.

"In addition to the ecological park, there is another place. The map doesn't show what it is. Maybe we can go and take a look!" Wu Bin converted the map into a satellite image, which is more intuitive.

He Yuxin leaned over to take a look at the map. This was a building similar to a factory. It was not very large and there were no other houses around it. It seemed a bit remote.

"It's a little remote, but it's just what we want. It's not too far from the highway entrance and the transportation is convenient!" He Yuxin did not object. The only thing she was worried about was that there would be too many zombies in the factory.

The two hit it off immediately, and Wu Bin started the car and drove towards the factory. He would find out whether it was suitable to settle down there.

Just as they set out there, they had an unexpected gain.

"This is... a money transporter?!" Wu Bin didn't expect to encounter a money transporter here. The money transporter collided with another truck, and it seemed that the damage was not serious.

"Well, there are two zombies next to it." He Yuxin also recognized the armored car and pointed to the zombies next to it.

"It's okay, hold on tight!" Wu Bin stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the zombies.

The zombies were a little slow to react and when they found Wu Bin, it was too late to react and they were directly hit and flew out by the car. Wu Bin kept crushing the zombies and only stopped when he was sure that the zombies were dead.

He Yuxin felt a little nauseous about the minced meat under the wheels, but she hadn't eaten for more than thirty hours, so she couldn't vomit it out.

Wu Bin came up and patted He Yuxin on the back, and asked with concern: "Yuxin, are you okay?"

He Yuxin nodded, signaling Wu Bin not to worry: "It's okay, just get used to it."

Wu Bin made sure that He Yuxin was fine before he walked away to look for the armored car escort's gun, and soon found the two guns dropped on the ground.

Holding the gun in his hand gave Wu Bin an inexplicable sense of confidence. Having a weapon in his hand made him feel a lot more at ease.

"Brother Bin! Come here quickly!" He Yuxin's voice came from the other side.

Wu Bin thought she was in danger, so he ran over and asked, "Yu Xin, what's wrong?"

"The truck that collided with the armored car seems to be a supermarket's car!" He Yuxin pointed at the body of the truck.

"Oh?" As expected, Wu Bin saw the words "Supermarket Logistics" on the body of the car. Supermarket logistics vehicles usually replenish sales merchandise for supermarkets. Of course, they sometimes deliver large items to customers. He didn't know whether this car was delivering goods for customers or replenishing goods for supermarkets. He hoped it was the latter.

When Wu Bin opened the back of the truck, he almost jumped up with excitement! It was a truck full of various foods. He was so lucky.

He Yuxin was also shocked by the truckload of food. What good luck! They delivered it just when they were short of food.

The only regret is that the truck head was more seriously damaged than the armored car and could no longer be started. We could only move some things onto the truck first, find a shelter, and then come back to move more.

"I hope that place on the map is suitable as a shelter!" Wu Bin muttered to himself as he and He Yuxin loaded the food onto the pickup truck. The food in this pickup truck alone was enough for the two of them to sustain for a while.

Following the map, the two found the place indicated on the map. It was indeed a factory, but it seemed to have been closed for some time.

Wu Bin got out of the car and walked to the factory entrance. It was a large iron door, and one could only see inside through the square hole on the door handle.

"This place looks like a small bankrupt factory!" Wu Bin saw the situation inside through the square hole in the door handle. The cement floor had long been covered with a layer of dead leaves. It was obvious that no one had come to clean it for a long time.

"Great! If the map is correct, there are no other buildings nearby. We don't have to worry too much about zombies!" He Yuxin was happy that she could find such a place. At least she was not so scared.

"I'll go in and take a look. You be careful outside!" Wu Bin parked the pickup truck under the wall and turned to He Yuxin and said.

"Okay! Brother Bin, be careful too!" Although He Yuxin thought that there would be no one in the bankrupt factory, she still gave him a reminder.

"Don't worry!" Wu Bin responded, climbed up the factory wall on the roof of the pickup truck, and flipped in.

As expected, the factory area was covered with weeds growing in the cracks of the concrete floor and dead leaves.

This factory area has only two tin houses about two stories high and a two-and-a-half-story white building. The tin houses are on the side of the building, and in front of the building is a slightly larger concrete floor square. The ground of the square is marked with several squares with yellow lines, and the words "unloading area" are written on them.

Overall, the factory area is pretty good. The entire factory area is surrounded by a wall more than two meters high and is very safe.

Wu Bin moved a table out of the guard room, placed it against the wall, stood on it and greeted He Yuxin who was outside the wall, indicating that the factory was safe.

He Yuxin got out of the car and followed Wu Bin's previous movements, stepping on the roof of the car and climbing over the wall. Wu Bin, who was standing inside the wall, took her in.

"Thank you, Brother Bin!" He Yuxin thanked him and then looked around the factory curiously.

"Let's move the things outside in first!" Wu Bin suggested.

"Okay!" He Yuxin naturally had no objection.

Neither of them had eaten for a long time, so it took a lot of effort to move all the food in the pickup truck.

"Let's take a break first and replenish our energy." Wu Bin sat down and took a few deep breaths.

He Yuxin also wanted to sit down, but because of her white dress, she didn't want to get it dirty, so she couldn't just sit down.

Wu Bin smiled. He understood that girls liked cleanliness, so he brought a cardboard box, dusted it off, and asked He Yuxin to sit down.

"This... isn't a good idea, right?" He Yuxin was embarrassed to sit on it, fearing that the things in the box would be crushed.

"It's okay. You can't break it by pressing so gently, and the box doesn't contain instant noodles." Wu Bin knew what He Yuxin was worried about.

"Well... okay..." He Yuxin sat down carefully, looking very uncomfortable.

Wu Bin found it a little funny, but didn't say anything. He took out two cans of eight-treasure porridge from an eight-treasure porridge box, opened one and handed it to He Yuxin.

"Give!"

"Thank you, Brother Bin!" He Yuxin took it with both hands and ate it in small bites, looking very elegant.

"How many times have you said thank you today? You don't have to be so polite!" Wu Bin also opened a can and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Wu Bin finished one can first, then opened a can for He Yuxin and ate it himself. He Yuxin noticed this small gesture and said, "Brother Bin takes good care of me!" He Yuxin kept it in mind.

"It's not advisable to eat too much now. Let's eat in the evening!" Wu Bin stood up and said to He Yuxin, preparing to explore the factory in detail.

"I see. Brother Bin, are you afraid that I will finish the food by myself?" He Yuxin stuck out her little pink tongue and said playfully. She knew that it was not good to eat too much when you were hungry for too long.

"That's right. I heard that girls can eat a lot. If I don't keep a close eye on them, they might end up eating dirt!" Wu Bin couldn't help laughing when he saw He Yuxin like this. It was true that girls would have fewer worries if they had something to eat.
