End of the World

Qiao Xinghua took out a smoke bomb and signaled Dafeng. Dafeng understood and opened the commander's hatch. Qiao Xinghua threw the smoke bomb in.

A smoke bomb scared the two people inside half to death. They thought it was a grenade and were in a panic. Wu Bin took the opportunity to enter the gunner's cabin from the other side, shot and killed the driver, and started a fight with another person.

Qiao Xinghua and Dafeng also got into the tank, and the three of them worked together to knock down the last man.

Qiao Xinghua felt for the smoke bomb underneath, picked it up and threw it out. The three of them quickly got out of the tank as the smoke inside was too choking.

"Phew, we finally escaped danger!" Dafeng was a little excited, but he managed to grab a tank.

"Just because he killed so many people!" Qiao Xinghua sighed, his hands were stained with the blood of his own kind. He wondered if Meng Zihan would say that he was the executioner if she knew.

"Forget it, don't think about it. They attacked us first, and we were just fighting back in self-defense. Besides, we are soldiers now and have the power to sanction them!" Wu Bin patted Qiao Xinghua on the shoulder.

"You guys clean up, I'm going to go check on the sniper!"

Wu Bin went up to the fourth floor, actually to look for the sniper rifle, as his men still lacked long-range support firepower.

Wu Bin found the sniper rifle, picked it up and checked it. Fortunately, the scope was not damaged. This was a Type 88 sniper rifle. To be precise, the Type 88 sniper rifle is only a precision marksman rifle.

Dafeng climbed onto the truck and checked the machine gun. The caliber of the machine gun was 7.62 mm, and Dafeng did not recognize which model it was.

The three men collected all the weapons and ammunition. Except for the 88 sniper rifle and the machine gun, the rest of the guns were old-fashioned hunting rifles. Although the guns were old, there was no reason to leave them to others.

The three of them went to the tank and touched it. The tank was not as easy to operate as in the game. For the three people who had no driving skills, it was very difficult to make the tank drive normally.

This tank is an old Type 59 tank, with fully mechanical control and reliable performance. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to operate, and one must have a strong physique to move it.

"Brother Bin, shall we drive the tank?" Dafeng was very fond of the tank.

"No rush, let's check it first!" Wu Bin knew that even an old tank would not be abandoned easily, and there must be a reason for leaving it behind.

After circling the tank, we found the problem. A riveted joint on the left track of the tank was obviously looser than other places, which means that it could fall off at any time. In addition, the second pair of left road wheels was obviously damaged and had lost their function.

The enthusiasm of the three people was instantly dampened. The tank's legs were defective and there was not much oil in the tank. It was estimated that even if the oil from the truck was pumped, it would not be able to go far. The fatal thing was the left track. If it broke, the tank would completely break down.

"I think we'd better drive that flat-head truck!" Qiao Xinghua thought about these problems. The key was that the three of them had to escape, and it would not work if they carried a seriously damaged tank.

"Then can we tow it with a truck?" Dafeng was unwilling to give up the tank. Although this guy is old, he is still the king of the land.

Wu Bin shook his head: "Impossible, the truck's power is not enough to pull the tank. The contact area between the two tracks of the tank is too large. Forcibly pulling it will only break the universal joint of the truck!"

"Okay." Dafeng sighed. It was impossible to find a flatbed truck to pull the tank now, so he had no choice but to give up.

The three men got into the tank and searched it, taking away everything they could. There were still two shells on the tank's ammunition rack, but the three men did not keep them. They unloaded them and loaded them onto a truck, as they might be useful later.

"Let's go!" The three of them took one look at the tank and climbed onto the truck. They didn't know who would benefit from it in the future. If the three of them were survivors outside, they would have done whatever it took to get the tank.

Qiao Xinghua was driving, Wu Bin was sitting in the passenger seat, and Dafeng was operating the machine gun in the car. There were still plenty of machine gun bullets, probably about a thousand rounds.

Just as Wu Bin and the other two were rushing towards the shelter, the zombie swarm in the west approached the outer defense line. The main force of the troops gathered here and pulled out the hidden mines.

Landmines are really hidden deep in the box. The army’s arsenal management only recently discovered the landmines in the ammunition depot. These mines have been stored for nearly ten years. They are hidden in the deepest part of the ammunition depot. The storage list was lost in the chaos of the disaster. It is estimated that there are nearly 100,000 mines of various types in the ammunition depot.

The troops pulled out all the mines and asked the engineers to set up minefields outside the defense line. Time was very tight, and the engineers spent a day and a night setting more than 43,000 mines outside the blocking defense line and marking a safe passage in the minefield for the troops to pass through.

The artillery in the shelter is also not idle, bombing zombies at fixed times and locations every day. More than 100,000 zombies have been killed by artillery fire, but the zombie hordes are still advancing towards the shelter.

The shelter tried to send troops to lure out zombies in an attempt to split the zombie horde, but the results were minimal. The troops that lured in the zombies suffered heavy casualties because the zombie horde was too large, and luring away some of them had no significant impact on the entire horde.

If they can't lure them away, they can only bite the bullet and destroy them. The problem is that destroying such a zombie swarm will consume more ammunition for the shelter. How will they survive if they use up all the ammunition before the production line is restored? If they destroy the zombies in the shelter in this city, it will be more balanced, but destroying more zombies from other places will not benefit the shelter at all.

In the shelter's meeting room, several senior executives were discussing countermeasures.

"Now we have reached the most critical moment. The first line of defense is fighting with the zombies continuously. The zombie vanguard is not a big problem, but what should we do with the millions of zombies behind them?" Qian Guoyong, the highest military commander of the shelter, glanced at the people present.

"It's no problem for our army to completely eliminate them with its current ammunition reserves, but what about after that? These millions of zombies are not from this city at all. It can be said that even if we eliminate them, our external environment will not change at all. We still have to face tens of millions of zombies in the city!" The logistics director spoke first. After this battle, the war preparedness warehouse was emptied.

"This is not the biggest problem. The most fatal one is what to do if the zombies in the city are affected and attracted here when we are fighting with the zombies?" said staff officer Cai Yunliang.

Everyone looked serious. This was the worst situation. The shelter had no ability to cope with two lines of zombies.

"Chen Wuming, how much ammunition do we have left?" Qian Guoyong suppressed the comments of others and looked at Chen Wuming. This would determine the defense strategy of the shelter.

"There will be no problem in eliminating the zombies on the western front, but if the zombies on the eastern front are added, we will be stretched to the limit!" replied Chen Wuming, the logistics manager.

Qian Guoyong drummed his fingers on the table. It seemed that there was no better way than to strengthen the defense, but strengthening the defense was inconsistent with the ammunition inventory.

After discussing for a while, Qian Guoyong asked everyone to go back and prepare. He decided to announce the recruitment of new troops from the shelter. In view of the poor performance of the previous new troops, the newly recruited troops certainly could not be used on the front line, but they should be able to be used for the defense of the city walls.

"Maybe we can send troops to the Longshan shelter to bring back some ammunition!" After everyone else left, Cai Yunliang turned to Qian Guoyong and said that he had some useful information.

"Longshan shelter? There...!" Qian Guoyong suddenly remembered the strategic warehouse in Longshan, whose confidentiality level was one level higher than that of Dongzhou City.

"These are some documents I sorted out. They are all from the Longshan Strategic Warehouse." Cai Yunliang took out the documents and handed them over.

"Is this... a special weapons document?" Qian Guoyong was very surprised after reading the document. According to the General Staff's military allocation and strategic warehouse management system, a developed coastal city like Dongzhou City would not deploy nuclear strategic forces. Nuclear weapons and the like could only be deployed deep inland to prevent being attacked.

"The document was brought by the Longshan Defense Force. The content only mentioned that it was a small weapon, which may be similar to depleted uranium bombs. The unit that received the document was signed as Longshan Strategic Warehouse!" said Cai Yunliang.

Qian Guoyong nodded and put down the document. Normally, the strategic warehouse is only under the leadership of the General Staff and is not under the jurisdiction of the regional command. In wartime, the General Staff will authorize the regional command to use it. Therefore, the regional commander does not know what is in the strategic warehouse. Only after authorization by the General Staff will relevant documents be sent to the regional command.

"So does the Longshan Strategic Warehouse really have nuclear weapons or special depleted uranium bombs?"

"The document should be true. This is the receiving document. If there is no output document, the weapons are still in the Longshan Strategic Warehouse. We need to send troops there!" Cai Yunliang said.

"According to the time on the document, the small weapon mentioned is likely to be the LD-type 155 special artillery shell!" Qian Guoyong thought about it. The time on the document was just after the LD-type special shell was finalized and mass-produced. It is estimated that the small lethal weapon on the document is this shell, which is more like a thermobaric shell specially designed for artillery.

"Which troops can be mobilized in the shelter now?" Qian Guoyong thought about it and decided to send someone to investigate.

"Basically, all of them have been sent to the city wall. Currently, there is only Shi Dewen's troops from the Third Reconnaissance Battalion. They have just received additional troops and are in the running-in period!" said Cai Yunliang. Originally, he wanted to keep Shi Dewen's troops as a rapid reaction force. If he wanted to confirm the Longshan warehouse, he could only send them over.

"Okay, let them get ready, and have Lu Hang send them over tomorrow morning!"

At the RV campsite, the atmosphere at the dinner table was depressing and no one wanted to start eating first. Afraid that the little girl couldn't stand such an atmosphere, Fang Xiaoyun took her to the back to eat.

Chen Guangjun glanced at everyone. He had to go on a mission tomorrow and go to the Longshan Shelter next door, so he came back tonight to say goodbye to everyone.

"I have a mission tomorrow, which may take a few days. Although the shelter has not been announced yet, the battle with zombies outside has already begun. The war will be intense by then, so everyone should pay attention!"

"Don't worry about us. Where is Brother Jun going on the mission?" After two days, He Yuxin's emotions had stabilized a lot. She was also worried when she heard that Chen Guangjun was going on a mission.

"It's the Longshan shelter that fell a few days ago, and the troops need to look for something." Chen Guangjun replied. Battalion Commander Shi Dewen just briefly mentioned it today.

"Isn't that very dangerous?" Li Xun looked at Chen Guangjun and said. Needless to say, the Longshan Shelter that had just fallen was the most dangerous.

"We have to go even if it's dangerous, and there must be a purpose for sending people to the shelter at this time!"
