Chapter 136 Nicholas Feels Targeted
Seeing the faint smile on Iger's mouth, Nicholas became very angry. He still couldn't believe that he had fallen into the hands of a furry boy.

This time, he was going to take the initiative to attack and win the round.

Now it's Nicholas' turn.

"Report to Captain Iger, the third team has no members yet, I apply to join the third team."

Nicholas believes that the third unit is the easiest in the field team, at least the safest. The main task is patrolling, and there should be very few cases of triggering battles.

This kind of thing didn't need to be discussed at the conference at all, but Nicholas said directly and loudly that he also wanted to embarrass Iger in public.

Iger agreed to his request, that's okay.

As long as Iger dares to say half of the word "no", Nicholas can output the words prepared ruthlessly. He even thought of nine kinds of accusations from three aspects, which will definitely make this brat unable to step down.

Unexpectedly, Iger made the third choice when there were only two obvious options. He turned his head to Fran and asked, "Do you want this person?"

Fran refused without thinking, "No."

Iger turned his head and shrugged at Nicholas.

Nicholas lost another game.

Iger prepared for today's meeting all night. This is called mental arithmetic but unintentional, planned and unprepared. When Nicholas came back to his senses, the overall situation was settled.

Iger's set of operations directly convinced Thomas.

Such a person, you can't beat him, you can't scold him, he has power in his family, and now someone has a gun in his hand, what's the point of fighting?

Hurry up, slip on your knees, hug your thighs and call out to you, wagging your tail a few times to act like a dog, this is the wise thing to do.

Don't look down on dogs. Dogs are man's best friend. In American black slang, calling your closest friend "dog" is definitely not an insult.

People betray people, but dogs don't.

Finally, Iger's field team reorganization was completed. Next, he proposed to the board of directors that he needed to temporarily second Ryan and transport vehicles.

"That's it. There are too many infected people, we can't let them get close to Jixi Town." Iger said to everyone: "But it is too difficult to wipe them out with just a few guns. We Fertilizer explosives need to be made, and the more the merrier."

"Ryan, you know where there are fertilizers and seeds, don't you?" Iger asked Ryan.

"Yes." Ryan, who has been extremely low-key since joining the team, replied affirmatively.

"Do they have that kind of nitrogenous fertilizer there?" Iger asked Ryan.

Ryan replied without hesitation: "Yes. It is a fertilizer storage point, and the fertilizers from nearby farms are transported from there. It mainly contains various compound fertilizers. Although there are not many fertilizers of the kind you mentioned, but There's always tons of it."

"Very good." Iger said to Ryan.

Later, Iger said to Father Locke: "The field service team applied for a temporary transfer of a van. Let's step on it this time, and by the way, bring him a few hundred kilograms of fertilizer back for use first, and then hand it over to the internal service team for handling. "

Father Locke agreed to Iger's application.

Later, Iger did not participate in the rest of the meeting on the grounds that the field team needed to race against time, and took the team members and Ryan to prepare for departure.

When Fran saw that Iger had slipped away, he felt envious, so he could skip the meeting.

Suddenly, Fran remembered that he was also in the field team, so he slipped away with the joy in his heart.

Let's go, go on patrol.

……

Together with Ryan, Iger and several team members added fuel to the vehicle and counted and replenished the supplies on the pickup truck.

The van was the one from the Gospel Community, and Iger and Joanna used it to load flour.

This van has only single-row seats. It is estimated to be older than Iger, and the condition of the van is not very good. The owner of the van probably has the idea of ​​using it every day, even if the hand-operated window regulator is broken. to change.

In any case, the cargo capacity of this van is much larger than that of a pickup truck, and for long-distance transportation of materials such as fertilizers, Iger thinks it is best to use a closed truck.

After the preparations were done, Iger asked Nicholas, "Can you use a gun?"

Can you use a gun?

Nicholas felt a little displeased with being underestimated, could you remove the word "?"

Although Nicholas thinks that he is definitely not as good as a sharpshooter like Iger, he is quite confident in his shooting ability.

"Oh, that's good." Iger said to Nicholas, "Get in the pickup truck and sit in the back."

Ryan drove the van to open the road ahead, and Iger asked Thomas to accompany him. Anyway, Thomas didn't know anything, and it was useless to stay in the pickup truck. Being with Ryan could at least embolden him.

Iger didn't publicize the fact that Ryan was crying in the middle of the night that day, and Ryan also knew that Iger kept it a secret, but Ryan always saw that Iger was a little evasive.

When people always have a sudden emotional breakdown, it's good to slow down.

Iger was about to get in the car when Nicholas stopped him.

"Captain." Nicholas was still a little unaccustomed to humiliating a child, and said, "Where is my gun?"

Iger turned around and pointed to the carriage, and said, "You can choose any of these three shotguns."

"No." Nicholas felt that Iger didn't understand, and he said to Iger, "Captain, you and Joanna are both equipped with pistols."

"Oh, this." Iger knew what Nicholas wanted.

Iger once made suggestions at the meeting, one of which was to control guns for new members.

Regarding the importance of gun control, everyone knows without Iger's reminder.

Although the gospel team did not collect firearms from new members, it did not distribute new firearms and ammunition to them either.

Nicholas was very envious of the pistols held by the old members. Unexpectedly, after he made this reasonable application, Iger rejected it.

"Don't worry." Iger said to Nicholas, "Of course there will be when you need it."

Nicholas asked Iger back with a trace of dissatisfaction: "What is the time when it is needed?"

Iger ignored Nicholas' emotions, and he said to Nicholas: "When you need it, it's when you need it."

There seems to be some tricks in Iger’s words. This time Nicholas learned to be smart and did not continue to discuss with Iger in depth. Now that Iger is his immediate superior, he is afraid that he will be unlucky if he says a few more words, such as being demoted from being an observer to being cannon fodder. .

Some of Iger's understanding is quite different from others, so that his words and deeds are easy to be misunderstood by others.

For example, why Iger thinks that Nicholas doesn't need a pistol, it's because Nicholas really doesn't need it.

As a close-range self-defense weapon, a pistol can save a life at the most dangerous moment.

The habit of the American army equipped with pistols on a large scale was formed when it fought against the ointment army, because the ointment army liked to play onboard charge, which really scared the American army enough at the beginning.

Facts have proved that once the pistols are assembled on a large scale, a brainless charge in an attempt to fight hand-to-hand is tantamount to delivering food.

But here comes the problem again. As a close-range self-defense weapon, a pistol is useless in most cases.

As far as field missions are concerned, the only place where you might need to use a pistol is to explore strange houses.

However, if the current field team really needs to explore the room, Iger will definitely go first by himself, and Joanna will cover behind him.Nicholas is at most guarding the perimeter, so there is no need for him to be equipped with a pistol.

It is impossible for Iger to let inexperienced new members do dangerous work.

To attack the enemy's position, isn't the squad leader and the deputy squad leader rushing to go first? How could it be possible for the recruits to be cannon fodder.

We don't have that kind of argument.

But in Nicholas' perception, in the tradition of the American army, the guy everyone sent out to charge the enemy's position with explosives has always been the stupidest idiot in the class.

Such a big fool is called "nut" in slang, and this has caused the word nut to gradually become derogatory from its initial commendatory meaning.

This stalk was finally used by Plants vs. Zombies.

There is such a nut in every infantry squad.

In "Forrest Gump", there is a plot specifically mentioning this.

A-Gump went to serve in the army, and his best friend told him, you are stupid, don't worry about anything else, just run, the sooner the better.

My best friend knew that A-Gump was in the army, so he must be the nut who went to die.

Because of this perception, Nicholas saw that Iger had been taking Thomas with him, and he thought Thomas was the cannon fodder prepared by Iger.

Of course, a trash like Thomas is his most valuable use as cannon fodder.

Nicholas adjusted his breathing, and he said to himself, he couldn't make Iger angry.

In case Iger gets mad and ranks himself ahead of Thomas, it's not the end.
