blood plague

Chapter 144
Field teams, fertilizer warehouses.

Iger was exhausted and paralyzed today, and the other three men were not much better.

After everyone started to carry chemical fertilizers, although each time their physical strength decreased, they could rest and recover their physical strength, but with the increase of fatigue, the upper limit of physical strength dropped lower and lower. On the other hand, carrying the same chemical fertilizer bags consumes more and more physical strength. more.

The more you get to the back, the more tired you are, and the strength in your hands is getting weaker and weaker. At first, one person can hold a bag, but in the end, two people can carry it.

The van looks small, but in fact, it has enough volume to have 8 cubic meters. When filling, even if the loading is irregular, only 5 cubic meters of fertilizer is loaded.

The density of this kind of fertilizer is 1.72g/cm3, and 1 cubic meter is 1.72 tons. If there are 5 cubic meters, including the gaps and so on, and then rounded up, 5 tons must always be installed.

These hundreds of bags of chemical fertilizer had to be lifted, loaded, and weighed, and wearing a gas mask could not breathe in fresh air at all. It can be said that it took several times the effort to do a little work.

Of course, if it was done by a few black workers, it might be over long ago, but these people are all people who have never done heavy work. Seeing that the upper limit of physical fitness has dropped to single digits, Iger announced the suspension of work.

Just like that, the rear of the van was still a little underfilled, but not bad, enough.

The four were then told by Joanna that there was a shower in the toilet next to the staff locker room, but it was cold water.

None of us have the courage to take a cold shower in the winter, that is, use an old towel in the locker room to soak in water and wipe the whole body, focusing on wiping off the dust on the skin.

After carrying the fertilizer, it is required to take a shower, but this condition is really not available now.Don't say I didn't take a shower today. Some people haven't taken a shower since a few months ago.

The dinner made by Joanna today was very sumptuous, but Iger had no appetite at all, possibly due to being overtired.

After swallowing the food as a task like chewing wax, Iger felt nauseous in his heart. He knew that he was exhausted.

After dinner, Iger looked at his watch. It was 19:35, and a thick layer of snow had already fallen outside, and the snowflakes were still falling.

I can only spend the night here tonight. Fortunately, the pickup truck has supplies for the night.Iger jumped into the pickup truck and rummaged for a long time, and found 4 thick sleeping bags.

Oops, Iger slapped his head.

When I came out this time, other supplies were replenished. Because I hadn’t used them in the previous work, the number of sleeping bags was prepared according to the number of people in the previous work. Now it’s time to go to bed and find that I have prepared one less.

Never mind it, it's not a big deal.

Iger pulled the hood of his coat over his head and went out with a flashlight to close the door.Fortunately, the fence gate is not electric. It can be closed by pulling it over by hand, and then bolted from the inside.

In this way, even if everyone is surrounded by infected people here, as long as they can't get in, it's a good thing.

After Iger returned to the warehouse under the snowflakes, in the staff office, 5 people faced 4 sleeping bags. Everyone realized that there was one person who needed to be on duty at night, so the number of sleeping bags was just enough.

However, today Iger announced that no night watchman will be left, so everyone can sleep peacefully together.Let's put it this way, in this environment, it doesn't matter whether there are night watchmen or not.

At this time, Iger said to Joanna: "Joanna, you sleep with me."

When Joanna heard what Iger said, she was immediately elated, and she almost couldn't hold back her brows.I only heard Thomas mutter a few times, and Iger slapped him, and everyone agreed.

Joanna quickly got into the sleeping bag. The space in the sleeping bag is not large, and it may be a little narrow for two people standing side by side.

Really, it was all because the sleeping bag was too small, so the two of them had to hug each other to sleep tonight.

Joanna curled up in her sleeping bag, unable to restrain her excitement.

"Joanna, Joanna, don't think about it, she is still a child." Joanna secretly reminded herself that Iger was still young.

However, Iger is not small at all.

whee.

Joanna waited in the sleeping bag for a long time, but Iger hadn't come yet, and he didn't know what he was doing at the end of the sleeping bag.

"Iger, why don't you come to sleep?" Joanna asked impatiently, "I'm waiting for you like this, it's very cold, and all the heat has leaked out."

"It's almost over." Iger said vaguely with the flashlight in his mouth.

The stitching was too tight, and Iger had no sharp weapon in his hand, so he managed to untie the stitches with his bare hands.

"It's finally done." Iger untied the tail of the sleeping bag, and got in.

Joanna waited left and right, and finally a pair of feet came.

"Hey, why are you sleeping there?" Joanna said angrily, "Your foot almost kicked my jaw."

"Sorry, sorry, I'll move." Iger apologized quickly.

According to Iger's many years of bed-making experience, the human body is an inverted triangle with a wide top and a narrow bottom. Therefore, when sleeping side by side, two people can comfortably and perfectly solve the problem by sleeping on each other's feet.

After Iger moved a bit, the two of them really didn't feel crowded.Joanna kicked her foot angrily, as if it really hit Iger's chin.

After Iger said "Ouch", he turned and fell asleep on his side. Not long after, Joanna heard him snoring.

Children, falling asleep is as fast as turning off the power. This is the ability of the body, and it is not even controlled by Iger's will.

This time, Joanna didn't know how she fell asleep.

After waking up the next morning, Iger struggled to get out of his sleeping bag.

He slept like a mummy all night last night, and now he feels pain all over his body.

Joanna obviously didn't sleep well either. Iger got out of her sleeping bag and whispered to her to get up. As a result, Joanna got angry and grabbed something and threw it at him. There was only a bang sound, although the accuracy of the head was far away. , but Iger was too frightened to speak out.

When Iger went out to relieve himself, he found that the snow outside the door had stopped. He stepped on the snow. The snow was not thick, less than 20 centimeters.

Iger, who has many years of snow driving experience, naturally doesn't care about the snow. Whether driving in snow is slippery or not depends on the actual road conditions and cannot be generalized.

This kind of soft and thick snow actually feels very good to drive.The snow that is really slippery is the kind that has been run over by a cart.

The originally soft snow was crushed into thin ice by carts, and the thin ice was frozen again in an instant, and finally formed a hard ice shell on the road.

When Iger came back from the solution, he tripped over something and fell into the snow. He got up from the snowdrift and went over to pull it a few times. It turned out that it was the corpse of the infected person who was killed at the warehouse door yesterday.

The corpse of the infected person was buried by heavy snow, and he tripped over him.

For no reason, Iger thought of a poem that didn't fit the occasion: "The rich wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones."

But it's not freezing to death.

Iger suddenly thought, would the infected be frozen to death?

If the infected will freeze to death, it's a big win.

However, it is estimated that this temperature may be a bit difficult, and maybe it is not a big problem in Siberia.

Iger was thinking wildly while moving his sore body.Now he finally felt that the soreness all over his body had nothing to do with sleeping, it was purely because he moved too much fertilizer yesterday.

The good thing is that the injured arm did not hurt after a lot of activities that day. I don't know whether it was because the activities dissipated the congestion, or the cupping treatment had a significant effect that day or was covered by more significant pain.

Iger stretched his waist, ouch, he stopped halfway through the stretch.

Joanna seemed very angry when she slept with Joanna last night. Iger knew that she was dissatisfied. After all, being crowded with people must not be a good way to sleep, but Iger had no other choice.

First of all, it was so cold last night that the option of not assigning someone a sleeping bag was obviously out of the question.

Secondly, since it is necessary to sleep together, you have to consider your body shape.

Among these 5 people, the two thinnest people are Joanna and Iger, so I sleep with Joanna, which is the best solution when the sleeping bag is not enough.

Iger walked around the yard and returned to the room. Only Nicholas got up in the staff room.Aiger took Nicholas, and the two went to the bathroom to release clean water from the shower, carried a pot of cold water back to the next door, and then Iger started to make breakfast.

Until the smell of breakfast wafted from next door, Joanna finally stuck her head out of the sleeping bag.After rolling back and forth a few times alone, and stretching a few times, Joanna's mood improved a lot.

"Get up, get up. It's snowing outside today, and it will definitely take more time on the road." Iger turned around, and he shouted to everyone: "There will be no delay after eating. Let's try to leave early and arrive early."

When the field team happily ate the love breakfast prepared for them by the captain, the base camp of Jixi Town was already in chaos.
