blood plague

Chapter 162 Things You Should Do
The two gospel broadcasts were interrupted suddenly at noon yesterday, and they were broadcast again on time this morning.

When the gospel broadcast was suddenly not broadcast on time, many listeners were sweating for the gospel team, because this meant that no matter what happened, there must be some kind of turning point.

Simply put, either the gospel team solves the current event, or the gospel team is resolved by the event.

In today's morning broadcast, Lily recounted in detail what happened to the Gospel team these days.

First of all, through two days of fighting the enemy bravely, the Gospel team wiped out three groups of infected people who came, and eliminated a total of 500 infected people.

As soon as the number 500 was reported, it caused an uproar.

This number is really not small. Many people have seen less than this number of infected people since the outbreak of the blood plague.

Subsequently, Lily vividly described the two consecutive defections.

Many listeners fell silent after listening, they felt that Lily was in extremely high-profile Versailles.

The vehicles, guns and ammunition, and various supplies lost by the Gospel team this time are stronger than the current wealth of most teams.

People are more than people, really maddening.

Although the group of infected people is now wandering around, people have the opportunity to go to the small towns that were previously inaccessible to pick up waste.

However, most small towns do not have supermarkets, and places with supermarkets are places where many infected people die, such as big cities.

Even if some infected people spill over, the city is still crowded with infected people.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no survivors in the cities. In fact, there are quite a few survivors in all major cities.

They blocked the entrance of the building with sundries, took advantage of the inability of the infected to carry out complex movements, and built various ladder chains in a city full of tall buildings, freely shuttling between tall buildings.

The city is now also known as "the adventurer's paradise", and this kind of life is obviously not something ordinary people can enjoy.

Ordinary survivors are more likely to flee the city.The first wave of people who fled to the mountainous area were forced to flee again before they had settled down for long.

You know, even a wild survival master like Fran can't live in the mountains for a long time without supplies and support.

Settled survivors preferred small towns away from big cities.In a town like Jixi Town, which has a small aboriginal population, and because of the huge flow of people, it is really rare that there is a "chosen place" for a supermarket.

Afterwards, Lily read out yesterday's resolution of the board of directors on the defectors. With the previous foreshadowing, no one felt that there was anything wrong with this resolution.

Of course, if you have to say it, the four people who drove away on the first night might feel a little wronged.

The supplies they took away were actually not many. After all, they were only the attendance supplies of the field team, which could not compare to those who moved directly behind.

As a result, all the stolen materials were counted together, they were "averaged".

But for the members of the gospel team, the defection of the four of them is no less sinful than the second group of people. If they hadn't started the first, the second defection might not have happened.

At the end of the broadcast, with a proud and passionate tone, Lily announced to all listeners that the Gospel Team had successfully defended Rapid Creek.

This set an example for all survivor teams who insisted on the stronghold route, and brought them great encouragement.

At the same time, this battle of the Gospel team also demonstrated the importance of patrolling the safe zone and taking the initiative to attack.

In fact, the core ideas of the fortress faction and the vagabond faction are the same, that is, they must never passively guard a certain place, waiting for the swarm of infected people to besiege.It's just that one idea is to take the initiative to eliminate the infected group, and the other idea is to actively avoid the infected group.

At 10 o'clock, breakfast begins.

After everyone was seated, Father Locke told everyone that everyone was going to Penny's funeral after dinner.

After breakfast, outside Jixi Town.

On this gentle grassland, everyone stood solemnly.

Father Locke placed Penny's remains in the pit, and each member took turns shoveling dirt into the grave until it was full.

A few ladies couldn't help crying in grief. Iger and Penny didn't know each other. He couldn't mobilize his sad emotions, but it didn't mean Iger wasn't sad.

Privately, Iger really hopes that Penny is alive, even if she defected with others that night.

Iger has mixed emotions about the defector.

On the one hand, he really hated betrayal, and naturally felt very angry. On the other hand, after all, the other party hadn't done something worse before leaving, such as being afraid of being chased, so he killed the sleeping people.

In Iger's view, everyone who can maintain the lowest bottom line still has room for communication.

No matter how human beings are divided, they are always in the same camp.One more human being survives, one more strength.

A white cross made just this morning was hammered deeply into the mud in front of the tomb. The name "Petunia Dayne" was simply engraved on the cross.

At this funeral, no one could even tell Penny's origins or her story, and those closest to her were nowhere to be found.

That day, after the escaped second team returned to Rapid Creek Town, some of Petunia's friends wanted to hold Vance accountable angrily, but were stopped by Father Locke.

Today, Father Locke looked back and thought that Petunia's accidental death and his prohibition of pursuing Vance's responsibility might have been the trigger for the defection of the "Love Supreme" team that night. If they were allowed to vent, maybe they would will stay.

But Father Locke didn't think his decision was wrong.

This is not only because Vance has been a friend of Father Locke for decades, but also because Father Locke knows that, as the leader of the team, he must take the initiative to protect his subordinates and also be brave enough to assume some responsibilities that were originally subordinates.

This is what he should do.

In front of Petunia's new grave, Father Locke told the crowd gathered in a semicircle: "Petunia's sacrifice makes us deeply saddened, and her heroic deeds will inspire us to continue to move forward.

In this battle, we were united and closely connected, and finally we wiped out the enemy together and won the victory.

Each of you is a hero!

However, one member, who made an outstanding contribution to the team, was treated incorrectly. "

When Father Locke said this, he stopped for a while, and he waved to Iger, who walked forward a few steps in a daze.Father Locke patted Iger on the shoulder, and then said gently: "Iger, my child. I am here to represent the Board of Directors of the Gospel Team, and sincerely apologize to you.

It's our fault, not yours, that we didn't take your suggestion into consideration. "

Afterwards, Father Locke raised his head and said to the others: "There is an old saying that goes well, 'Hear all parties' (Listen to all parties).

We must respect different opinions, we must respect opinions that we do not like, and we must respect every opinion that is sincerely for the team. "

Finally, Father Locke lowered his head, stared sincerely into Iger's eyes, and said to him, "I apologize to you again, my child, and I hope you can accept my sincere apology."

Father Locke's words made Iger a little flustered. He felt that as an elder, Father Locke did this to himself, which was a bit too much. After all, he was also at fault first.

People in the Central Plains have a good habit of "finding problems from themselves".

In the past few days, Iger calmed down and reflected for a while, and felt that he really had a problem. The problem was: he couldn't really change his identity.

It is said that the butt determines the head, and Iger's butt has grown in America in the end of the world, and his head is still in the Central Plains of the previous life.

To deal with the current situation with the Central Plains people's way of doing things will definitely be unacceptable.

After realizing his mistake, Iger humbly accepted his punishment.

As a result, Father Locke suddenly said to himself in public, sorry, you are right, it was us who were wrong.

Iger couldn't come back to his senses.

Father Locke's face-to-face apology not only surprised Iger, but also everyone.

The new members basically didn't know what it was singing about.At that time, although they ate a few of Iger's big melons on the radio, they didn't feel much.

The old members knew that Father Locke was apologizing for rejecting Iger's "three-step" proposal, because if Iger's suggestion had been followed that day, the gospel team would not have suffered such a big loss later.

Facts have proved that Iger's proposal is correct and effective. The collective approval of the board of directors yesterday is the best illustration.

A few old members thought more deeply. They felt that Father Locke was apologizing for the punishment Iger received after taking the warehouse alone.

Things can change rapidly after that day, but what is certain is that the Gospel team can still stand here today without the material support in the warehouse.

Iger, who seized the warehouse materials for the team, not only did not receive any rewards, but was punished instead.

How indignant everyone was at Iger's behavior at the time, it is ridiculous now in retrospect.

However, Father Locke's apology can only be an apology. Andy has done a good job after joining the board of directors. It is impossible for the board of directors to break the total number of people for Iger, let alone make a second mistake in order to correct a mistake.

Father Locke's apology to Iger on behalf of the board of directors in front of everyone is already the greatest compensation he can make.

When Father Locke solemnly apologized to Iger, Iger had mixed emotions in his heart. He was excited, proud, and aggrieved and wanted to cry. He sniffed his nose, pulled out an ugly smile, and looked at Father Locke said, "Thank you, Father."

Father Locke looked at Iger who was about to lose control of his emotions, nodded slightly, and then he said to Iger, "Iger, you may not remember, after you were born, I personally baptized you."

Iger was taken aback after hearing Father Locke's words. Is the relationship between himself and Father Locke so close?
Later, Iger realized that Father Locke had been in the Gospel community for decades, and he did not baptize any child with his own hands, probably even Joanna.Because the gospel community simply does not have a second priest.

Father Locke said to Iger kindly: "Iger, are you willing to accept my teaching?"

After a long circle, Iger finally understood what Father Locke wanted to say. He actually wanted to take me in as a disciple!

Although Iger didn't quite understand how missionaries recruited apprentices, he also immediately understood that this was Father Locke's public desire to get closer to him.

Looking at the elder in front of him, if Iger wants to say if he is dissatisfied, he must be.However, Iger was more grateful.

It is said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, but Father Locke has the kindness of saving his life and knowing him.Iger has not heard of a second dose of the healing serum that Father Locke used for himself.

Be a monk, just be a monk. Although Iger feels a little weird in his heart, this is also the kindness of the elders.

"Yes, Father Locke, I am willing." Iger nodded solemnly to Father Locke.

Father Locke smiled at Iger and said, "My child, from now on, you should call me 'Godfather'."

Iger froze for a moment and didn't come back to his senses. He just mechanically nodded his head and replied:

"Yes, Locke, Godfather."

　Explain that in English, both priest and godfather are "Father".

　　The official title of the godfather is "Godfather", but when actually called, they are all called "Father".

　　It's like after worshiping a godfather, few people call the godfather "godfather". Although such a name is standard, it is not intimate enough.

　　In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, this article separates the priest and the godfather in Chinese.

　　The word godfather really has nothing to do with gangsters. In the West, it is equivalent to a foster father or godfather in China.

　　There are also godmothers.
