blood plague

Chapter 146
On the snow-covered road, two cars were driving one behind the other at a very long distance.

The air conditioner of the van had been broken long ago, and the driver's window could not be closed with the driver's cab wide open, so the cold wind poured straight into the car.

In this way, Ryan's hands are still covered with sweat. Although he holds the steering wheel tightly with both hands, he does not control more than half of the truck.

The pickup truck driven by Joanna ran fast and stable in front, but the van driving on the snow-covered road was dangerous.

Not to mention ESP, this car doesn't even have ABS, Ryan stepped on the brakes a little harder, and this car dared to walk sideways on the road for you.

The van swayed on the road like this several times. Firstly, the speed was not fast, and secondly, due to luck, the van did not fall under the roadbed, but the two people in the car were terrified.

Iger, who originally wanted to catch up on sleep on the road, has been staring at the rearview mirror since he got in the car, for fear that if he blinks, he won't even know that the truck has overturned.

"Fuck." Iger suddenly exclaimed, and then he yelled at Joanna: "Stop, stop!"

Joanna slowly released the accelerator and slid for a long distance before stopping the pickup truck. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she asked Iger, "What's wrong?"

Iger opened the door and said, "The truck has stopped and turned on the double flashing lights." After speaking, Iger jumped out of the pickup truck.

Then, Iger stepped on the snow and creaked towards the van. He saw Ryan and Thomas getting off the van from a distance. After they circled the van, they stood on the left side of the front of the van.

When I got closer, Iger also found the problem. The front of the van on the left side was obviously lower.

"What's wrong?" Iger asked Ryan loudly before he got close.

"The left front wheel is leaking air." Ryan replied loudly to Iger.

"What should I do?" Iger blurted out this sentence, and even he himself felt stupid for a moment.

Flat tire, only a spare tire.

Ryan also knew that he needed to change the spare tire. He turned to the back of the van, brushed away the snow on the ground, and lay down on the ground to look at the bottom of the van.

After a while, Ryan raised his head and said to Iger and Thomas: "Oops, this car is not equipped with tires!"

"No way~" When Iger heard Ryan's words, he was so anxious that he also got down and carefully checked the chassis of the van.

Iger opened his eyes and looked back and forth several times, but he didn't find the spare tire.

It's not uncommon to drive without a spare tire.For example, the spare tire was broken and not replaced, for example, the spare tire was too troublesome to put back after it was used, and it was even considered unnecessary to install the spare tire.

Anyway, no matter what the reason is, this time he was cheated.

Joanna slowly reversed the pickup truck, and then the two people in the car came over.

Now the five people are standing in the snow, looking at the flat front wheels of the truck, discussing what to do.

The first step, without saying anything, remove the wheels.

The second step is to get the spare tire.

The third step is to replace the spare tire.

As a backup plan, abandon this vehicle and find another vehicle to transfer fertilizer.

I moved the fertilizer all afternoon yesterday, and now Iger is still hurting all over his body. It is not a last resort. Iger does not want to implement a backup plan.

After everyone discussed so much for the time being, they started working.Nicholas tipped the jack out of the pickup truck, tucked it under the front bumper of the van, and started turning the handle, allowing the jack to jack up the front of the truck.

The front of the van gradually rose, and just when the tires were about to leave the ground, there was a "boom", and the van fell down at once. broken.

Several people were shocked. Fortunately, the truck did not roll over, or else it would have been a group of five kills.

Nicholas turned the turntable again, only to hear the jack rattle, but the front of the car did not rise. He dragged the jack out and saw that the jack was broken.

When Iger was loading the goods yesterday, he had considered everything, except that one thing he didn't consider was that the van was seriously overloaded.

These vans are indeed used to transport goods, but the goods transported usually do not include such heavy materials as cement, fertilizer, and flour.

The standard load of this small van is only 2.2 tons. Good guy, Iger stuffed nearly 5 tons of fertilizer into it.

Generally speaking, it is not a big problem if the vehicle is overloaded for a short period of time, but the severely aging tires of this car could not bear the pressure and burst.

Similarly, the jack on a pickup truck is only a small jack, and it can't lift such a big guy at all.

Iger scratched his greasy hair that was about to stiffen in frustration. It was originally a simple task, but it became more and more complicated.

After a while, Joanna and Thomas drove back to the van from the fertilizer warehouse. They found three jacks in the trunk of the car in the yard of the fertilizer warehouse.

Let the three come together, the head office will do.

After a lot of hard work, everyone finally removed the broken tire.

The question now is where to find the spare tire.

At this time, the local Nicholas said that he saw a street sign just now and recognized it. There is a small town not far from here, and everyone can go to the town to try their luck.

So Ryan threw the broken tires and wheels on the pickup truck, and the five of them got into the pickup truck together and drove towards the town that Nicholas had mentioned.

At this time, Iger sat in the co-pilot enjoying the snow scene with a leisurely and comfortable mood. He had no idea that Lily had been calling the field team frantically since yesterday afternoon.

……

……

Everyone who was listening to the Gospel radio realized that something was wrong with the Gospel team.

At 8 o'clock last night, Lily did not make a daily broadcast. She called the field team directly on the radio, asking the field team to interrupt the mission after hearing the call and return to Jixi Town immediately.

Lily did not say on the radio why she was asking the field team to return, but the frequency with which she called every 10 minutes let listeners know that something was wrong with the gospel team, and it was a big deal.

Lily didn't stop calling from 8:9 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. She started calling at [-]:[-] this morning, indicating that the matter has not been resolved.

People's brain holes are generally a bit big and have a strong divergence. By now, everyone has made up various possibilities in their brains.

For example, Iger led a field team to defect en masse.

For example, the new team accepted that day clashed with the old team.

For example, the town of Rapid Creek was attacked by armed gangsters.

For another example, Father Locke eloped with Sister Maria.

Anyway, there are all kinds of weird brain supplements, but no one thought that the most likely emergency at the moment would be the siege of Jixi Town by infected people.

In terms of the combat capability of the Gospel team, are you still worried about the siege of infected people?
They are fierce men who can run hundreds of kilometers to beat the asses of infected people.

Just kidding not.

Reality is really just a joke sometimes.

The Gospel team is engaged in a fierce battle with the infected group, and the base camp is even in danger of falling.
