"I have a way to stop the zombies! Everyone, quickly throw the rest of the wood and branches into the passage!" Just when everyone was about to despair, Wang Bin stepped forward and shouted loudly.

His shout immediately gave everyone hope again. Without asking what could be done about his fall, they all rushed to move wood and branches. At this point, even the children got to work.

Seeing that it was almost ready, Wang Bin immediately took out the gasoline he had used before from his system space, poured it onto the tree branches, and then lit it with a torch.

Instantly, the branches and wood in the passage were ignited, which then set the zombies ablaze.

After the zombies were set ablaze, they let out painful howls, which frightened many children so much that they threw themselves into the arms of the adults around them.

Zombies aren't just skeletons; they have flesh on their bodies. Although it's rotting flesh, it's still made up of fat, which is flammable and crackles when ignited by fire.

The zombies behind didn't care about the lives of those in front, they just kept charging forward, and one by one they were set on fire. The chain reaction was so fast that more zombies behind were ignited.

In an instant, the wails of the zombies were deafening, and even adults couldn't help but cover their ears.

Guan Xiaoyue couldn't help but walk over to Wang Bin and hug his arm with both hands.

Wang Bin smiled faintly, put his arm around Guan Xiaoyue's shoulder, and the two of them quietly watched the zombies being set ablaze.

The fire burned for over an hour before gradually subsiding. Although there were still zombies around, there weren't many left, just a few scattered ones, maybe a couple hundred. These zombies no longer posed a threat to them.

"We won!"

Just as the fire was about to be extinguished, someone shouted excitedly, and everyone else joined in with their own excited shouts.

"We've won!"

"We survived!"

"We defeated the zombie army!"

Everyone was incredibly excited, shouting loudly to release all their pent-up frustration.

Many people couldn't help but cry; they had escaped death once again and triumphed over it once more.

Platoon Leader Liu rubbed his red eyes and led all the soldiers of the third platoon to Wang Bin.

"Wang Bin, thank you, you saved us again! Salute!"

After saying that, Platoon Leader Liu took the lead and saluted Wang Bin, and the more than 30 soldiers behind him also saluted Wang Bin in unison.

"It's nothing, I was just trying to save myself!" Wang Bin smiled faintly, not feeling particularly noble for taking out gasoline to burn the zombies.

When the people behind noticed the commotion, they inquired and learned what had happened, and they all gathered around and applauded.

Guan Xiaoyue, who was clinging to Wang Bin's arm, felt a surge of pride seeing her older brother being treated with such respect. She secretly looked up at Wang Bin.

Wang Bin was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand, saying, "Now is not the time for us to be happy. There are still some scattered zombies down there. In order to eliminate the hidden dangers and allow everyone to have a good night's sleep, let's go down and clear them all out!"

"good!"

Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and they all raised the wooden sticks in their hands.

For safety reasons, Platoon Leader Liu did not send everyone down, but instead selected a hundred young men to go down and clear out the zombies. In no time, the scattered zombies were also cleared away.

"Everyone's tired, and we have to travel tomorrow. We'll keep watch for you, so get some rest!" After clearing out the zombies, Platoon Leader Liu said to everyone with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone readily lay down and quickly fell asleep.

When Wang Bin woke up the next day, it was already 10:30 in the morning. He got up and looked around and found that many people were still sleeping, but the platoon leader Liu was already awake and seemed to be calling people to prepare breakfast.

When Platoon Leader Liu saw Wang Bin wake up, he said something to the soldier who was preparing breakfast and walked towards him.

"Did you sleep well?"

"It's alright, how about you?"

"It's alright, do you smoke?"

"No, thank you, I don't smoke."

"Thank you so much for your help last night!"

"Don't mention it, you already said it so many times last night!"

So, we're still friends!

Upon hearing what Platoon Leader Liu said, Wang Bin smiled faintly and extended his right hand. Platoon Leader Liu quickly extended his hand as well and shook hands with Wang Bin. Both of them smiled.

"Thank you! This time I'm representing not only myself, but everyone! If you hadn't woken me up in time, I wouldn't have thought to build so many defensive fortifications last night, and we might all be finished!"

Wang Bin didn't answer Platoon Leader Liu's question, but just smiled faintly. He wouldn't tell Platoon Leader Liu that he had a Jinbei van in his system space. If they really couldn't hold out, he would probably take A Bao and the others to break through the encirclement in the van. Fortunately, that didn't happen, and everyone survived.

At 11 o'clock, Platoon Leader Liu had everyone woken up and made them line up for breakfast.

Breakfast was still very thin porridge, but everyone ate it with relish, and while everyone was eating breakfast, Platoon Leader Liu said a few more words.

"We've run out of food. Now we'll have to rely on everyone to gather wild vegetables. But don't worry, we should be able to reach our camp by noon tomorrow. So don't lose heart. As long as we stick together, we'll definitely make it to the camp alive!"

Platoon Leader Liu explained the situation clearly: the food was gone, so everyone should stop worrying about it and decide what to eat for dinner based on how many wild vegetables they could gather. He also gave them hope that if they held on for just one more day, they would reach their destination.
