blood plague

Chapter 132 Back to Camp

Iger's two shots were like stabbing a hornet's nest. The infected people rushed towards him crazily. However, under the acceleration of the pickup truck, the distance became farther and farther, and they were quickly thrown out of sight.

Joanna drove the pickup truck to the temporary outpost in one breath. After stopping the car, she opened the door and jumped out of the car. She asked Iger, "What should I do, Iger?"

"Go, go immediately, you can't stay here anymore." Iger responded to Joanna, and then jumped out of the pickup truck.

There is no way to stay in this ghostly place. Among the group of infected people just now, there are actually 9 screamers in total. If each screamer is "full number", there will not be more than a thousand infected people.

Really can't stand it!

The population of the entire United States is only so small, you just brought me such a large group, people from several towns!
"Shall we go to yesterday's outpost?" Joanna asked as she walked. In fact, it would be nice to go back to yesterday's place. After all, I just spent an afternoon tidying up, and it would be a waste to sleep only one night.

"No. Let's go back to Rapid Creek Town." Iger opened the door and walked in. He said to Joanna, "Go wake Phoebe, I'll call Thomas."

Originally, Iger didn't want to be so cruel to Thomas. He knew that Thomas' coma was not feigned, but really passed out.But when I was lifting Thomas just now, Iger's arm was almost disabled. If I lift it again, it will definitely be useless.

Men, be cruel to others.

So, Iger stretched out his cold hand and pinched Thomas' nose.

A few minutes later, the four were successfully evacuated from the house, with a weak Phoebe and an even weaker Thomas sitting in the back seat.

Just now, after Thomas was woken up by Iger pinching his nose and mouth, he was rarely furious.

"What are you doing!!!" Thomas roared at Iger like a mad lion.

"Uh~" Iger didn't expect Thomas to wake up so angry. After avoiding the first wave of output, he said weakly to Thomas: "You forgot to take your medicine..."

"..."

……

After Thomas took a tranquilizer, he fell asleep again.

In less than half an hour, the pickup truck returned to the place where they turned down.

In front of them is the group of infected people just now, and now there is a difficulty in how to pass through them.

Although there is grass on the left side of the road, there is a step difference of about 1 meter from the roadbed, so you can't go up or down.

On the right side of the road are undulating hills, there is no way to drive past it, and the side next to the road is very steep.Iger and the others were very lucky just now, at least the section down was considered a slope, and other places can be called cliffs, except for the gentle slope like a gap, other places cars can only fly up.

Another way is to take a detour, but Clyde has demonstrated it, so don't use this thing if there is nothing to do, it might be a trap for yourself.

So there is only one way left: meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

Although this Ford pickup truck looks a bit old, it is a small road tank with a lot of power, and it is easy to overcome obstacles.

Joanna stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed of the car, and Iger, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was ready to hit.

At this time, Joanna suddenly stepped on the clutch, killed the steering wheel with her left hand, and pulled the handbrake with her right hand at the same time. The pickup truck flicked and turned around.

In an instant, Joanna put into reverse gear, and rammed the rear of the pickup truck towards the group of infected people.

The important parts of the car are all in the front, and it is safer to hit anything with the rear. As a veteran driver, Joanna naturally knows this.

The infected person was hit with the front of a pickup truck just now. Firstly, the speed of the pickup truck was not fast, and the pickup truck itself had a very strong shell, so there was no damage.

But if the speed is too fast and the force is mutual, it may seem cool to knock the infected person into the air, but if some part in the front of the car is damaged and the car turns off, this is a safe and complete destruction.

There is also a little common sense that the wheel torque of the reverse gear of the car is greater than that of the first gear.

The pickup truck seemed to be shoveling grass, and the wide rear of the truck pushed through the crowd of infected people.

Seeing the infected people falling under the wheels one after another from the rearview mirror, Iger couldn't help but think of an idiom: a mantis' arm is like a car.

After the pickup truck passed the group of infected people, the infected people slowly turned their heads.

Iger discovered a weakness of the infected. Their turning movements on the spot were extremely sluggish, which may have something to do with their weakened body balance ability.

Before the infected person could turn around, Joanna had already put on the forward gear, and the pickup truck made a sharp turn and rushed up the steep grassy slope beside the road.

Although the initial speed was not enough, with the support of the powerful four-wheel drive of the pickup truck, it finally climbed to the top of the slope, threw the group of infected people down the slope, and then walked away.

Iger was startled and scared. Compared with Phoebe's driving skills, Joanna was not much worse, but in terms of driving style, the gap was too great.

Someone once summed up that driving style is human nature, which is really apt.

Following the way it came, the pickup truck passed the Mission Destroyer hut, returned to the road, and then drove towards Rapid Creek Town.

This is more than 100 kilometers away from Jixi Town, and it is now 1:[-] noon. If you move quickly, you can still go home for dinner.

When passing by yesterday's outpost, Iger suddenly opened his mouth to signal Joanna to drive over.

When the pickup truck stopped, Iger jumped out and walked quickly toward the barn.

After a while, Iger walked out of the barn empty-handed, and he walked towards the farmhouse without looking back.

"Hey, what are you looking for?" Joanna yelled at Iger.

Iger turned his head to Joanna and replied with only one word: "Fertilizer!"

Joanna understood in seconds.

Iger has given up on Yugong Yishan who used a spoon to pick up soil. To deal with infected people, in addition to being simple and effective, efficiency must also be considered, or else he will have to exhaust himself to death.

Iger is afraid, it is because he is tired and afraid, not because he is afraid.For the infected, he has not yet reached the point of fear.No matter how many infected people there are, it is a matter of workload.

As long as the IQ does not decline, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

To deal with this kind of super-large infected group, currently, there is nothing better than giant mixed explosives.

After a while, Iger came out with his hands outstretched, and there was no one in the house.

Afterwards, Iger and Joanna walked and searched. They stopped to check every farm house with a barn, but they couldn't find a bag of fertilizer.

"Strange, how could there be no?" Iger was confused, and he suddenly remembered that Ryan in the team, the farm worker who escaped from the farm, said he knew where there were seeds and fertilizers.

"Don't look for it, let's go back to Jixi Town." Iger said to Joanna, "I'll get some cans, we won't delay, we will eat while walking in the car, and we will go back to Jixi Town. "

When the pickup truck finally returned to Rapid Creek, it was almost dark, Phoebe and Thomas were awake, and the gospel team had eaten their dinner.

The return of the four disgraced field personnel was warmly welcomed by everyone.

Just seeing the dents and scratches on the pickup truck, and the dark red splashes on the body and wheels, everyone knows that the field team deserves applause.

Joanna and Caitlin prepared dinner for the field team together, and Iger took advantage of the time they were still preparing, and he went to find Vance in private.

After Iger hesitated for a while, he walked to the chatting crowd and pulled Andy over. Finally, Iger led the two of them walking and talking, and they came to Father Locke's office on the fourth floor.

Iger has very important things to discuss with them.

As a result, when Iger pushed open the wooden door, Sister Maria was talking to Father Locke, Iger said sorry, and was about to close the door and exit.

"Iger, you don't need to go out." Father Locke said to Iger, and then he said to the other two outside the door, "You guys come in together."

Everyone entered the office together, found a random place to sit down, and Father Locke repeated the conversation Sister Maria had just had with him.

Sister Maria found someone stealing from the shelves.

This morning, in order to prepare biscuits for Holy Communion, Sister Maria picked out all the biscuits on the shelf one by one, and finally chose an unpretentious large-package breakfast biscuit.

When preparing dinner just now, Sister Maria passed the biscuit area on the way to get the ingredients. She took a casual look and immediately found out that something was wrong.

Afterwards, Sister Maria stopped and took a careful inventory. At least 5 boxes of biscuits alone were stolen. Because other supplies have not been counted, it is impossible to confirm whether they have been stolen.

"That's how it is." Father Locke said to the three of them.

Stealers are most likely new members, but old members are not excluded.

Today may be the first time that the theft has happened, but it cannot be ruled out that it has happened many times before, but it has just been discovered.

Everyone realized the seriousness of this matter.
