blood plague

Chapter 153 Backstab
In the afternoon, the members of the second and third teams who were affected by the blood plague woke up one after another from their stupor. Most of them were fine and recovered their ability to move. Now only Vance, who was seriously exhausted, was still lying on the bed.

After Father Locke finished dealing with some things, he came to Vance's isolation room, and saw Vance staring out the window, his eyes lost in thought.

"Hey, old chap, what are you thinking?" asked Father Locke to Vance.

Vance turned his head and glanced at Father Locke, and was silent.

"This accident is none of your business." Father Locke said to Vance.

Just now, Father Locke has learned in detail from the other two members of the second team why the second team has lost combat personnel today.

This is the case when going out to the field, facing the test of life and death at any time. Iger is right in saying that field missions are done by field personnel with their lives.

Where is the time in this world?The peace and joy that everyone has lived in the past is only because the field team members have resisted all the risks by themselves.

Every field officer is a hero, and it would be extremely unfair to blame the captain for a mission setback.

Hearing Father Locke's comfort, Vance shook his head, and he turned his head and said something unexpected to Father Locke.

Vance said to Father Locke, "Locke, how much has your physique dropped?"

This question is extremely private, but facing Vance, Father Locke did not hide it. He said to Vance, "To tell you the truth, my physical fitness has dropped by 2 points."

Vance nodded, and he said to Father Locke, "Locke, I'm worse than you. Since the blood plague broke out, my physical fitness has dropped by 3 points."

Vance's physique originally had 9 points, which can be said to be extremely strong, but the subsequent hard life caused his physique to decline rapidly.

Although Vance's current physique still has 6 points, which is similar to that of ordinary adult men, and even slightly stronger, the aging trend is already very obvious.

"We're all old, Locke." Vance said to Father Locke: "You know, when I couldn't run anymore today, I thought, I'm going to die anyway. Fill up the bullet and turn around and kill 5 of them first, then Save the last bullet for yourself. I would rather die under the gun than be bitten to death."

Vance then drew his revolver, which he handed to Father Locke.

After Father Locke took Vance's pistol, he understood what Vance meant, and he pushed the magazine of the revolver to look inside.

The magazine is empty.

"As a result, my hand was shaking so much that I couldn't even put a bullet in it, and it all fell to the ground." Vance said sadly to Father Locke, "Locke, we are all getting old."

Vance's second sentence is more tragic than the first.

Father Locke didn't speak, he returned the revolver to Vance, and then patted him on the shoulder.

Just as Father Locke was about to turn around and go out, Vance said to him, "Locke, that little guy, what are you going to do with it."

Father Locke knew who Vance was talking about. He sighed first, then shook his head. He said to Vance, "He's still too young and needs time to grow up."

The two old friends looked at each other and sighed in unison.

Father Locke said to Vance, "Have a good rest." After speaking, he walked to the door of the room, ready to leave.

Just as Father Locke opened the door, Vance called out behind him, "Hi, Locke!"

Father Locke stopped, and he turned to look at Vance.

Vance said seriously to Father Locke: "What should be done, just do it. Our time may be less than imagined."

Father Locke was silent, he turned and left, and closed the door behind him.

……

After a hard day today, everyone was extremely tired, and no one was interested in playing games after dinner, so they all went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, Alison got up secretly, and with her, there were five other members of the Love Supreme team, except for Petunia who passed away unfortunately.

"Now our task is to move supplies to the bus." Alison said to her members, "Priority is to move guns and ammunition, and the rest of the space is filled with food.

The compartment of the pickup truck is loaded with fuel. First, planks and blankets are laid, and the fuel barrel is rolled up to fill as much as it can. "

This is the secret mission given to Alison by Father Locke during the day.

Father Locke asked Alison to prepare an evacuation vehicle for the gospel team, but this had to be prepared secretly, because Father Locke was worried that once other members knew about their retreat plan, they would give up resistance and only wanted to retreat by car.

After receiving the secret order from Father Locke, Alison found the No. [-] leader. She told the No. [-] leader about Father Locke's secret order. She originally thought that the No. [-] leader would be surprised, but she was very calm.

The second leader of the Love Supreme team, and the actual controller, turned out to be Phoebe.

"I would be surprised if Locke didn't have such an arrangement." Phoebe said to Alison, "At any time, you must leave yourself a way out. This is the way of a wise man."

"But, but, why." Alison asked Phoebe, "Why did you do this."

"What and why?" Phoebe spoke to Alison very gently. She knew that Alison was not very smart and his brain turned slowly.

After hesitating for a while, Alison said to Phoebe: "Why do we betray Father Locke, I think he is a good man. We will make him sad if we do this."

"Honey, that's what you're talking about." Phoebe said to Alison, "It's not your fault, you're too pure."

After organizing the vocabulary, Phoebe said to Alison: "Locke is a good person, but this is not the reason for us to stay here."

"Is it because the gospel team has been unable to stop the infected this time?" Alison seemed a little sad.

Phoebe stared into Alison's pretty eyes and said, "No Alison, not this time.

Even if the gospel team can win this time, there is still a next time, and there will be a next time.

The number of infected people is endless. Even if the Gospel team defends 99 times, as long as they fail once, they will perish.

Through these few days of field work, I am thinking about how to keep us alive in this disaster.

Staying in one place is the most stupid way.We need to keep moving to get to a safe place before the infected catch up to us.

We'll rest and resupply in a safe place, and we'll escape again with lightning speed before the swarm of infected slowly gathers around us.

You know what, we don't belong here, we don't need it here.Our home is every inch of land. "

"Then, why did you leave today." Alison said, "Today I saw Father Locke trying to be strong despite his exhaustion. I was so sad that I wanted to cry."

Phoebe gently hugged the girl who was about to cry, and said to her, "If we don't leave today, once Iger comes back, we won't be able to leave."

"Iger?" Alison asked Phoebe, "Is that magical boy Iger? Is he as powerful as the rumors say?"

After Phoebe let go of Alison, she said to her seriously: "Iger is very powerful and extremely dangerous. Be careful of this child. He is very determined and extremely extreme in cognition. He is both a genius and a lunatic. He wants to The longer you live, the longer you will stay away from this kind of person.”

After hearing Phoebe's words, Alison nodded. Phoebe's vision is very accurate, and she hasn't said that she missed a thing so far.

Under the cover of Father Locke's secret orders, the Love Supreme team boldly moved the materials in the warehouse. Anyway, they were not afraid of being discovered, so it didn't matter if they were discovered.

This kind of bold handling was very efficient. It didn't take long for the trunk, seats, and aisle of the bus to be fully filled.

Under the leadership of Alison, the six members drove a bus and a pickup truck respectively, and secretly left Rapid Creek Town under the cover of night.

Father Locke handed Alison the last trump card for life-saving, but Phoebe gave him the most ruthless backstab.
