End of the World

Chapter 187 Map

After watching the beautiful fire, the four of them set off on their journey with satisfaction. However, it was beginning to get dark, so they had to find a place to stay.

As for dinner, it’s good enough that the four of them are still alive. What’s there to eat? Just sleep!

We will go look for food tomorrow, and then continue our journey when the time is right. However, this time there will be no map to refer to, so the difficulty of survival will be greatly increased.

In the past, I had maps and knew where food might be found. Now, I don’t even know which street I’m on!

Until the next morning, wisps of black smoke were still coming out of the direction of the bombing yesterday. One night, several ordinary zombies came downstairs where the four people were staying.

Looking at the zombies, several people actually felt a sense of relief, and Dafeng dealt with the zombies enthusiastically.

Based on the direction of the sun, Chen Guangjun roughly determined the direction of north, but without a map, the four people did not know where they were.

There was a small convenience store ahead, so the four of them had to replenish their energy before continuing their journey. After not eating for more than a day, even Chen Guangjun felt a little weak.

If it didn't snow here, we should be able to find some food outside. In winter, the grass and trees hide under the snow.

“One, two, three, four...!” Dafeng counted the zombies outside the convenience store. Maybe some of them were not pitiful enough, so more than a dozen zombies came together to challenge him.

"Okay, let's do some warm-up exercises before dinner!" Chen Guangjun pulled out a dagger, but unfortunately it was not as useful as his original one.

"We're afraid that we'll just have to eat air after this!" Dafeng said.

"Can't you hope for something good?" Chen Guangjun really wanted to kick Dafeng, stop bringing up things that are irrelevant!

"Captain, you are injured, so stay here and let Yuxin cover you!" Chen Guangjun made the arrangement, which was actually a disguised way of asking He Yuxin to protect Wu Bin.

Wu Bin was helpless, his injuries had almost healed, and he had been relying on everyone since he came out. He hadn't done anything himself, but he was deeply moved, thinking about the importance of partners.

"How about we have a competition?" Chen Guangjun suggested to Dafeng.

"Let's compete, it's just about beating zombies!" Dafeng accepted the challenge, and the two of them were also looking for fun.

"These two guys!" Wu Bin shook his head. Finding joy in misery is actually a good idea.

Both of them are good at close combat. Chen Guangjun has skills, while Dafeng simply uses his brute force to create miracles. He was clearly hungry for a day and shouted that he couldn't walk, but he was extremely strong when fighting the zombies.

"Ho~"

"Fuck you, I need to eat, what are you doing here!" Dafeng smashed the zombie's head.

There were more than ten scattered zombies on the field, and they were quickly killed by seven or eight of them, but it also consumed their limited strength, and they were both panting.

He Yuxin was checking the guns at the back. If the two of them couldn't hold on or were in danger, she would shoot.

"Woof!" A dog barked suddenly and Dafeng almost lost his balance.

Two mutated zombie dogs jumped out of the convenience store, bared their fangs at the two men, disgusting mucus oozing from the corners of their mouths, and made gestures as if they were about to attack.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

He Yuxin, who had been on guard the whole time, fired a shot, her delicate body shaking with the sound of the gunshot. She knew that this gun had a strong recoil, but it was still unexpected. Compared with the Type 81, the recoil of the AK was obviously greater.

He Yuxin was not familiar with the gun in her hand, so she couldn't control the accuracy and fired a few extra bullets. Although the recoil of the AK was not as great as that of a single-shot bolt-action sniper rifle, she couldn't kill with one shot, and Chen Guangjun and the other man would be in danger.

The zombie dog was killed in time. Chen Guangjun turned around and gave He Yuxin a thumbs up. It is a pleasure to team up with excellent teammates. Of course, this is not directed at anyone.

The other zombies were alarmed, and Chen Guangjun didn't want to kill them anymore, so he silently raised his gun.

The remaining zombies were all hit by bullets. Before other zombies arrived, the two rushed into the convenience store. Although it had been visited by some people, there were some scattered food left on the shelves.

The two men swept away all the food like robbers and put it all into the prepared pockets. Dafeng was very familiar with this business.

"go!"

When the roar of zombies was heard from a distance, the two men came out with bulging pockets, and after meeting up, they ran together.

The four of them fled along the path they came from like thieves. All of them were out of breath, especially He Yuxin, whose physique was not that strong.

"Brother Bin told you not to drive the car, look how tired your sister-in-law is!" Dafeng said, inhaling the air greedily.

"I can still hold on!" He Yuxin shook her head. She had always hoped not to be a burden to everyone.

"Okay, I'll consider it!" Wu Bin looked at He Yuxin and patted the back of her hand gently.

Although the road is not smooth, it is better than running alone and it can also save energy.

"Let's see if there's anything to eat!" Chen Guangjun put down the sack and was actually a little impatient.

The four of them found a small open space, found some firewood, then set up a small iron pot and put clean snow in it to melt water.

The water in the pot soon began to bubble. Put a few pieces of dough in and add some seasoning. That was it. Don't worry about anything else.

The four of them ate some snacks, and the staple food was noodles. There wasn't much, and it wasn't very nutritious, but it could quickly help them replenish their energy.

After eating, the four of them felt a little more energetic, so they started thinking about getting a map. Paper bookstores might have them, but of course, specialized geography stores would be even better.

"I hid a motherboard. If the data inside can be recovered!" Chen Guangjun took out the broken mobile phone motherboard. The processor chip and data disk on it were still good.

"We don't have the conditions right now. Do you remember the model of your phone?" Wu Bin said. Finding an identical phone and transplanting the chip would help recover the data.

"I... don't remember!" Chen Guangjun was a little embarrassed.

"Let's find a map book!" Dafeng said, thinking that it would take a lot of effort to restore the data on the phone.

Chen Guangjun sighed and could only put away the motherboard and try to restore it later when he had the chance. The map was really important.

For the next two days, the four of them headed roughly north. Without a map in their hands, they didn't know where they were, but there was good news.

According to the road signs, there is a town ahead called Pingxiang Town. There should be a map shop in the town. The requirements are not too high. Just find a map that doesn't need to be too detailed, as long as the county and town-level administrative units are marked on the map.

"Hey, here's a map!" Dafeng saw an advertising space standing outside the town street intersection, which showed the planning map of some blocks.

The plan is very simple, with only the main streets having a few place names, and other places only having road names.

"What's the use of this thing?" Wu Bin glanced at the plan.

"It's still useful. At least we know where the main road is!" After saying this, Chen Guangjun took out the notebook he had hidden at some point and drew the complete plan.

"Thank you for the hard work!" Chen Guangjun looked at the picture in the notebook and said, "It was so simple that he only needed a few strokes to finish it."

Dafeng spread his hands. "Haven't we walked enough in the past two days? This is not enough."

Although it was a town, there were not many signs of activities of survivors. There were some dead bodies on the ground, some of which were zombies killed after the snow stopped, but no human bodies were seen.

"If someone gives me the map I want now, I would be willing to clear this road!" Dafeng said.

The three of them smiled and said, "You might have some serious illness."

"If you had the skills, you could have found the map long ago. Why bother asking others for help?" Chen Guangjun said.

"There's a street ahead, be careful!"

No need to remind you, anyone who has survived outside until now has accidentally joined the zombie army.

“One, two, three, four...!” Several people hid behind the car, and Dafeng counted the zombies as usual.

"I'm really worried that you'll fall asleep while counting!" Wu Bin knew that Dafeng was doing something weird again, and there were at least hundreds of zombies in front of him.

"Shh! Follow me!" Chen Guangjun lowered his voice and took the lead to the path across the street.

On the other side of the street, the group found a stationery store. The billboard was inconspicuous and if it weren't for He Yuxin's sharp eyes, they would have ignored it.

There were three or five ordinary zombies in front of the stationery store. They were wearing short sleeves, which didn’t fit in with the white environment around them, and their movements were even more stiff.

"Swish!" Chen Guangjun stabbed the zombie's skull with a dagger. Due to the slow loss of calcium in the bones, the zombie's bones became brittle.

"Crack!"

The bones were broken, and Dafeng, having gained strength, swung an iron pipe as thick as his arm with great force. All the zombies that came into contact with it flew two meters away.

The stationery store was quite messy, with all kinds of supplies scattered all over the floor. Chen Guangjun took a shoulder bag and filled it with a few pens and ink.

"How about this map?" Dafeng laughed, holding a globe in his hand.

"Okay, then the navigation mission will be left to you!" Wu Bin was speechless.

"There are no special maps here. The most detailed one is this national administrative map, which only marks the county level at the smallest!" Chen Guangjun came back after turning around, holding several similar maps in his hand.

"It's not too outrageous, it can be used as a makeshift!"

"Guess what I found?" He Yuxin smiled, holding two books in her hands.

"Well, I guess it's a doomsday survival guide!" Dafeng said seriously.

He Yuxin glanced over and said, "Hey! Pay attention now, please!"

"Two atlases! They contain detailed descriptions of each province and its prefecture-level administrative region!"

Chen Guangjun took one and found that this map was much more detailed. Although it introduced the natural scenery, the attached pictures even marked the village-level units.

"That's not bad. I'll rely on him to show me the way from now on!"

"As expected of me, the map book of the doomsday survival guide!" Dafeng said shamelessly.

"...!"

The three were speechless. Dafeng was really a funny guy. With such a companion, they didn’t know how to describe their loneliness and boredom.

With the map, the four people quickly knew their current location. It was no longer right to continue going north, as the north was the grassland province. They should go east to reach Nguyen Province.

"The atlas says that to our east is Lianheng Mountain, which is separated from Nguyen Province. As the name suggests, it is a high mountain that connects three provinces. It borders Prairie Province to the north, Su Province to the west, and Nguyen Province to the east!"

"There are only two roads in Lianheng Mountain on the map. One is the logging site in the north, and the other is the Lianheng Tunnel in the middle, which is 23 kilometers long!"

After saying this, He Yuxin looked at the three people. This is how the map is marked, but there may actually be other paths.
