End of the World

Reservoir dam.

There were several staggering figures. Judging from their attire, they were soldiers. Wu Bin and the other two saw them from afar when they arrived here.

The three of them hid behind the concrete guardrail and stuck their heads out to observe carefully.

"Where... where did they come from?" The three of them had the same question.

"Could they be the ones who stayed behind?" Qiao Xinghua said.

"Yes, look at those two zombies, they have bandages wrapped around their bodies!" Dafeng pointed to the farthest place in front, where there were two zombies with obvious white stripes wrapped around their bodies.

"So the camouflage zombies we saw before are those people, but why?" Wu Bin looked back and said.

"Could it be those wounded?" Dafeng stared at the bandaged zombies, thinking that they were most susceptible to infection.

"No way, weren't you injured in yesterday's shelling?" Qiao Xinghua thought it was impossible because the injured were at the crash site and were not attacked by zombies.

"I...I have strong resistance..." Dafeng said immediately. He was just guessing.

Wu Bin ignored the two of them and carefully recalled all the details of yesterday. From beginning to end, the wounded had no contact with zombies. The helicopter was shot down by corpse moths. It was impossible that they were infected by them. Could it be that they were attacked after the large army left?

"Brother Bin, what should we do now?" The two people looked at Wu Bin.

Wu Bin was unsure for a moment. There were no living people here, and he didn't know how they mutated. Logically, there should be survivors even if they were attacked.

"Can you confirm how many zombies there are in total?"

Qiao Xinghua knew what Wu Bin meant and recalled, "Including the ones I saw yesterday, there should be ten!"

"There are six injured people, and there are ten people left, so there should be six more!" Wu Bin said.

"I don't see any other living people. Maybe they ran away!" Dafeng counted and only saw five zombies on the field.

"In that case, let's go find some excitement!" Wu Bin grabbed the gun, bent over, and took small steps forward, and Qiao Xinghua followed from behind.

"Wait for me!" Seeing the two men leave as soon as they said they would, Dafeng caught up with them with a rocket launcher.

After repeated observations, there were only five zombies on the dam, and Wu Bin and his two companions could easily deal with them.

Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua put bayonets on their rifles and rushed towards the zombies. Dafeng was even more exaggerated. He directly swung the rocket launcher in his hand, smashing the zombies and making them spit blood and fly away. He knocked the zombies directly off the dam and into the gate way, and the zombies were carried away by the rushing water.

Seeing this, Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua both gave Dafeng a thumbs up. Who else can do this?

Dafeng chuckled, raised the rocket launcher in his hand and smashed it on the ground, trying to make a cool pose, but unexpectedly hit his own instep.

"Ow!"

"Haha! Let you pretend!" The two of them laughed. You even felt proud after being praised.

After cleaning up the zombies, the three of them walked around the dam and found a strange mucus. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it seemed to be everywhere, even on the bodies of the two zombies killed by Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua.

"What is this? Whose snot is this?" Dafeng stepped on it and wiped it with the sole of his boot. It looked exactly like snot.

"You are also a talent!" Qiao Xinghua was speechless. Dafeng's ideas were really different.

"This thing is some kind of mucus. Could it be related to the disappearance of those guys?" Wu Bin said.

Qiao Xinghua looked around and then at the dam guardrail.

"This stuff is all over the dam. It looks like it was sprayed all at once like flowers scattered by a fairy from heaven."

"Yes, spraying it so evenly is also a technical job!" Dafeng agreed.

"Can you guess what it is?" Wu Bin looked at Qiao Xinghua.

"Could it be those bugs?" Qiao Xinghua knew that corpse moths would spray unknown liquids.

"It's possible, but did you notice that the two bodies were not corroded?"

Qiao Xinghua nodded. The body fluids of corpse moths are corrosive and poisonous.

"This is easy. The previous one was the insect's saliva, and now it's the insect's snot. Of course they are different, just like human saliva and snot. Saliva also contains digestive enzymes!" Dafeng interrupted seriously.

Wu Bin and Qiao Xinghua: “……!” They were unable to refute.

"Let's go, let's find a car to go to the air force base!" Wu Bin had no choice but to give up as he found nothing special. However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as he felt that this trip back to the air force base would not be so easy.

The reservoir is not located in the wilderness. There is a road outside and there are generally not many cars. After all, it is not far from the restricted area.

There are basically no zombies on the road. The explosions at the air force base attracted most of the zombies. The only trouble is that the cars on the road have been abandoned for more than half a year, and it is hard to say whether they can be started.

The three of them walked a short distance before they came across a pickup truck parked on the side of the road. There were black blood stains on the door and the body of the car was covered with fallen leaves and dust. The car had been parked here since the end of the world.

The key is still in the keyhole, but the car cannot be started. The battery has power but the starter does not respond. It may be that the battery voltage is insufficient.

Wu Bin went forward and opened the engine hood. It didn't look too bad. There was no oil leakage from the engine. It was a diesel engine like any other pickup truck.

"How is it?" Dafeng looked at Wu Bin. Among the three, Wu Bin knew more about cars.

"I don't know, but we can try!" Wu Bin didn't dare to guarantee it. Fortunately, this car is a diesel car, so the impact will not be that great over time. However, a gasoline engine will be difficult to deal with.

"What should we do?" Qiao Xinghua asked.

"Let's try to see if the car can start by coasting!" Wu Bin closed the engine hood, hoping that there was no problem with the fuel supply line. It would be troublesome if water or air got in.

"Don't say anything, I'll push the cart!" Dafeng walked behind the cart and prepared.

"Brother Bin, you do it!" Although Qiao Xinghua had seen this way of lighting a fire, he didn't understand the specific operations.

After Wu Bin got into the car and released the handbrake, he and the other two pushed the car to the middle of the road.

Wu Bin had never tried this method before and didn't know if it would work. When the vehicle was pushed, Wu Bin quickly stepped on the clutch and shifted into second gear.

"It'd better be faster!" Wu Bin knew that he had to go at a certain speed, otherwise the engine might drag the car to a stop after releasing the clutch.

The two people at the back of the car pushed forward with all their might, and the car speed increased by a bit, but it was still too slow.

Wu Bin tried to lightly lift the clutch and slightly step on the accelerator, but the car slowed down and almost stopped.

Still no use, the speed can't be increased.

Wu Bin looked ahead and saw the road gradually disappearing under the hood. He was immediately delighted. This meant the car was going downhill, so the speed would not be slow.

Dafeng was pushing the cart when he suddenly felt that the cart seemed to have become lighter. Could it be that he had mastered some magical skill? Then the cart was getting faster and faster, and he realized that he was going downhill.

The two people pushing the cart stopped. If they couldn't start the cart, they wouldn't be able to push it.

Seeing the car speed up, Wu Bin tried to operate the car. The engine started, he lifted the clutch and stepped on the accelerator, but it didn't start after several attempts. He was about to reach the bottom of the slope. After the last try, the car finally responded and started smoothly.

The two people behind saw the car reaching the bottom of the slope and about to stop and thought it had failed, and then they saw the car actually reverse and turn around.

"Success!" The two were delighted. Having a car would make it much safer, and they could also maintain sufficient physical strength at all times, which was very important for the people outside.

Wu Bin drove up. The pickup truck had no major problems except for some unusual noises from the chassis. The generator was working normally and was charging the battery.

"Get in quickly!" Wu Bin stopped the car.

"Are we going back to the air force base?" Dafeng asked directly as soon as he got in the car.

"Yeah!" Wu Bin nodded. He originally wanted to go back to the reservoir for a walk to see if he could find any clues that the people left behind at the dam were attacked. After all, the snot-like mucus on the dam was too weird. However, the fuel gauge on the pickup truck was about to sound an alarm. He didn't know how far the car could go. It would be a disaster if it broke down halfway.

The pickup truck drove back to the dam. Wu Bin and the other two were not familiar with the nearby terrain and had no map, so they could only go back via the same route they had taken before.

The scenery above the dam is pleasant. On one side is a turbulent waterway, and on the other side is a calm lake, forming two extreme contrasts. However, the corpses on the ground ruin the scenery.

The vehicle slowly passed the dam, and the three people in the car suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from the direction of the lake. They looked over and were stunned. Wu Bin even slammed the brakes to stop the car.

I saw a huge black shadow flying over the calm lake surface at some point, and its flapping wings created waves on the water surface. This black shadow was similar to a corpse moth but several times larger than it. The most important thing was that it had two pairs of bat wings, and its size looked very large when spread out.

"Hurry... hurry up!" Even Dafeng, who usually laughs and plays, is trembling. They are not ordinary zombies and are very difficult to deal with.

"Don't panic, they don't seem to have noticed us, quickly get down!" Wu Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they did not fly over.

"They seem to be in formation!" Qiao Xinghua noticed that the giant corpse moth was moving very slowly, it made strange noises, and from time to time, corpse moths flew around it and surrounded it.

"Why are there so many bugs here?" Dafeng felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the clusters of bugs.

"Maybe they were attracted by the helicopter landing yesterday, but we were lucky enough not to encounter them!" Wu Bin said. Considering that the helicopter was attacked by corpse moths, it was not difficult to guess that the guys who stayed behind to take care of the wounded happened to run into them. If they had heavy firepower, they could destroy them instantly. Of course, the rocket launcher in Dafeng's hand didn't count, as the power of the rocket was limited.

The group of corpse moths stayed there for about ten minutes, and then slowly moved to the northwest. The surrounding corpse moths protected the four-winged moth in the middle, like stars surrounding the moon.

"They're gone."

The three of them then got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

"They are heading towards the air force base, what should we do?" asked Qiao Xinghua.

"What else can we do? Just follow them!" Wu Bin said helplessly.

"If we go over like this, wouldn't we be asking for our lives?" Dafeng said.

"What can we do? Do you think we can get back to the shelter like this?" Wu Bin felt that if the three of them went back like this, they would definitely be dealt with by military law, and they might even be shot.

"I have no objection!" Qiao Xinghua spread his hands. He knew there was a dead end ahead but he had no choice but to go ahead.

"Okay, I agree too!" Dafeng knew that what Wu Bin said was true.

After the two got in the car, Wu Bin immediately drove to the air force base, "We have to move quickly, we have to get ahead of the bugs!"
