After leaving the Yancheng base, they had to cross a bridge across the river to leave the city.

However, before they reached the bridge across the river, they heard several explosions from a distance, followed by a dull sound that broke the silence, as if something had collapsed there.

"What's that sound??"

"It seems to be coming from there."

The direction from which the sound came was exactly the location of the cross-river bridge.

Ruan Ning stared at that direction and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. It couldn't be such a coincidence.

There is only one cross-river bridge from the city where the Yancheng base is located. If there is a problem with this cross-river bridge, if they want to go to the next city by land, they can only go back from where they came from and make a big detour to achieve the same effect. This will take several more days. And if they take another route, they will have to pass through a popular tourist city in G Province before the end of the world, which is very dangerous.

Ruan Ning could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that nothing would happen to the cross-river bridge.

After driving for another five minutes, they saw thick black smoke coming out of the iconic bridge not far away. They didn't know the exact situation because they hadn't arrived yet, but it looked like the situation was not optimistic.

Their car was driving on the road, and someone ran hurriedly from the opposite direction. Seeing that their convoy was still heading that way, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and waved towards their convoy.

The team saw his movements in the rearview mirror and stopped the car.

The man walked over and knocked on the window of the leading car in the team, which was the car Ruan Ning was in.

A rough-looking man with an unshaven beard came over. He said in a hoarse voice, "Hurry up and don't go over there! Something happened to the cross-river bridge?! The people and cars that were originally on the bridge have now fallen into the river and have been washed away by the flood. I'm afraid they can't be saved."

The people in the car looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that the cross-river bridge had collapsed like this?

Given the strength of this cross-river bridge, if the person who placed the bomb didn't know the structure of the bridge, it would be difficult to damage the entire bridge structure even if hundreds of kilograms of bombs were blown down at once. So how could it collapse so easily? Otherwise, they would not have chosen this path at all, because they were sure that this bridge was not so easy to damage. After all, zombies are only interested in living people, and they will not destroy dead objects like cross-river bridges.

Lin Yang leaned out of the window, handed the man a cigarette, and asked, "Brother, our team is going to the other side of the river today for an emergency. Can you tell us what the situation is there? Is the bridge collapsed?"

The bearded man hesitated for a moment when he took the cigarette. Cigarettes were also a rare commodity nowadays, and a pack of cigarettes was sold at a high price in the base.

Carefully placing the cigarette in the pocket of his clothes, keeping it close to his body, the bearded man's attitude became more friendly than before, and he explained, "Little brother, all you need to know is that the cross-river bridge is now impassable, so you'd better turn back as soon as possible... It may be a bit exaggerated to say that the bridge collapsed. I don't know who did it. After several explosions, the bridge now has several big holes. I don't know if people can pass through it, and I don't dare to go up to see it, but cars definitely can't pass through it. Let alone today, whether you can pass through it in the future is still a big problem."

After saying this, the bearded man couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he hadn't walked onto the bridge when the explosion occurred. If he had gone up earlier, he might have ended up like those unlucky people who fell off.

The bearded man thought that after he had reminded them, they would turn around and go back. However, he heard that the man who gave him the cigarette and asked him for information decided to go over and take a look after asking someone in the back seat.

"Well...Okay, little brother, you should be more careful. Such a big incident happened on the cross-river bridge, there will definitely be a lot of people going over to inquire about the situation." When there are too many people, it is easy to cause chaos, and there are also many people who ambushed and saw the convoy stealing supplies, so he advised them not to waste time going over. However, as an outsider, he should not interfere too much in the affairs of other teams. Anyway, he has said everything he should say. These people dare to go over, they must have certain strength.

After saying goodbye to the man, the Dawn Team continued driving. As they got closer to the cross-river bridge, the black smoke they could see became larger and larger.

When they got to the bridge, they saw that the once magnificent bridge across the river was now in a terrible state. Just as the man who had just spoken to them had described, the road surface in the middle of the bridge was full of potholes and unevenness, and there were several holes that were bigger than a person. From where they were standing, they could vaguely see some exposed steel bars inside.

The situation here is a little better than they imagined. The overall structure of the bridge has not been damaged, but it is not much better.

After the explosion, black smoke is still coming out of the bridge. The fire is not particularly big, and it will not burn down the steel and concrete bridge, but it may still make the cross-river bridge, which has already suffered a severe blow, even more fragile.

"Mr. Gu, are we still going across the bridge now?" Xie Fei, who was standing aside, asked in amazement at the scene in front of him.

Gu Yicheng stared at the cross-river bridge in thought for a moment and did not reply for the time being.

The bridge looks like it should be passable by people. It doesn't matter if cars can't pass, they can put the cars into the space before going on the bridge, and then take them out after crossing the bridge.

However, the bomb could only have been placed there by a person, not a zombie. He hesitated because he didn't know if there were any more bombs on the bridge, and whether there would be a second explosion.

"Let's wait a day and see. We won't go over today." Considering the safety of everyone in the team, Gu Yicheng decided to put the matter of crossing the bridge aside. If it really doesn't work, they can also go around and go over from the other side. Anyway, this is not the only way to go, there is no need to take the risk.

The rest of the team had no objection to Gu Yicheng's decision. They thought the same thing, safety was the most important thing, and it didn't matter if they waited one more day.

Since they had no intention of crossing the bridge, they had to turn the car around and return to Yancheng Base to make other plans.

But before getting in the car and leaving, Ruan Ning thought to himself, if they had a boat at this time, they could go under the bridge across the river by water, and they wouldn't have to worry about the bridge here.

Unfortunately, they had been traveling by land before, so even if they were well prepared, they would not think of getting a boat and putting it into the space in advance.
