Chapter 17 Search and Rescue Operations
Father Locke's proposal was quickly responded to. Vance and Iger were still carrying emptied hiking bags, and Father Locke was carrying a white medical kit.

Regarding the allocation of guns, the Glock with only 14 bullets was handed over to Sister Maria, the only one among the three ladies who would use it. The AR-7 used by Iger was the only firepower for the search and rescue team.

For melee weapons, Vance naturally carried his logging axe, while Father Locke took out a large black cold steel baseball bat.

Looking at this big guy with a length of almost one meter, even Iger, who doesn't know much about baseball, can see that this thing is definitely not for playing games.

Looking at Iger who was staring intently, Father Locke explained: "This is also a gift from a church member."

Well, it seems that there are quite a lot of church members who love outdoor sports.

After sending off the search team, Sister Maria led Glock up the bell tower, while Elvira accompanied Lily on a radio broadcast, where Lily announced that the "La Dolce Vita" radio channel was renamed "Gospel Team" Channel, and announced that the Gospel team has formed a strong search and rescue team and is carrying out search and rescue work in the Gospel community.

At this time, Lily had no idea how huge the impact her broadcast would have.

On the other hand, on the way to the community, Iger told Father Locke and Vance about his plan.

"According to my speculation, the vast majority of infected people in the community should gather at or near the police station. As long as they don't alarm them, we should be safe." After experiencing the power of infected people firsthand, Iger never thought three times Individuals can kill several people in and out of the community, and the overall action plan is "enter the village quietly, and don't shoot anyone."

Iger pointed to the community houses in the distance and said: "Let's start from the edge first. Today I think the main goal is to investigate. Enter the houses to investigate one by one. If we encounter infected people, we will clean them up as silently as possible."

The silence Iger mentioned here refers to not using firearms, which mainly depends on the big axe.

Iger is very confident in the partnership formed by Father Locke and Vance.

Vance is a strong man with double 180s. He is 180 centimeters tall and weighs more than 180 pounds. Although he has a big belly that can only be enclosed by a large belt, his long-term physical work has made him far stronger than those who are only now. Young people who can swipe their fingers.

Father Locke was a head taller than Vance, and his large black monastic robe could hardly conceal his strong body. The large cold steel baseball bat in his hand looked like a child's toy.

Infected people are ordinary people whose physical strength, sensitivity and judgment ability are not as good as ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about being bitten and infected, and the threat of a single infected person is greatly reduced.

Of course, a single infected person is rarer than the peanuts in Laoganma.

Father Locke and Vance agreed with Iger's plan, and Iger, who was talking along the way, didn't realize that Father Locke and Vance had given the command to him in a tacit agreement.

It takes time for young people to grow up, and after the living environment changes, one's body is aging at an accelerated rate.Both Locke and Vance are eager for this precocious child to grow up as soon as possible.

It took about 40 minutes, and the three came to the street at the edge of the community.On one side of this street is a row of double-storey townhouses, with a total of five households. On the other side are several single-family houses with small courtyards. There is a small basketball court in the distance. It's a big school.

This school is where Father Locke and Vance rescued Iger yesterday. They saw the plane fly by on the hillside of the church and the airdrop package landed in the school. They met Iger on the way out after picking up the airdrop.Of course, Father Locke and Vance were walking behind the school that day and did not cross this street.

After looking left and right on the street full of various accident vehicles, Father Locke decided to start with the townhouse.

When the three of them arrived at the door of the beige hut, Father Locke reached out and knocked on the door politely as if he were making a home visit. While knocking on the door, he shouted in a low voice, "Is anyone there? I'm Father Locke."

Vance pointed at the door with a logging ax, while Iger leaned against the wall with his gun back and stared at the movement on the street.

Father Locke knocked on the door three times, but no one answered. He reached out and grabbed the doorknob and turned it, but the handle remained motionless.

The door is locked.

After giving a helpless look to the left and right, Father Locke turned to the second house. After knocking on the door three times, he stretched out his hand to open the door, but it was still locked.

When they reached the third house, Father Locke reached out to open the door first, but it was still locked.

Then came the fourth, and the fifth.

The search and rescue work seemed to be in trouble at the very beginning. The first obstacle turned out to be the door lock?
Iger also turned around and looked at the door and the lock, and soon he gave up his suggestion to knock the door open.

Hitting the door depends on the conditions. Only in movies can it be opened so easily with a slam.In a real door crash, one or both of the door and the body must be broken; in this regard, the emergency department of the hospital has the most say.

What's more, this door is open from the outside.

At this moment, Vance beckoned to the two of them, and he pointed to a single-storey house surrounded by a metal fence on the opposite side.In the garden in front of the house, a woman in a blue knee-length skirt was standing blankly on the lawn.

"Then?" Iger stared at the woman for a few seconds, then said to Vance, "That woman should not be a survivor."

After Vance heard Iger's words, his finger pointed again.

Oh see, it turns out Vance was referring to a garage next to the house.

Since childhood, Iger learned from books that American people love labor very much, and they like to do everything by themselves, so every household has a tool room, which is full of tools ranging from repairing cars to changing faucets. various tools.

It wasn't until Iger grew up that he saved a lot of toolboxes that he finally realized that Americans like DIY (do it yourself) because they can't afford workers...

The three of them quietly touched the yard of the red house while looking around vigilantly. When they were more than ten meters away from the woman, Father Locke took the lead and stopped.

This was the first time Iger saw the infected in such a close range in peace, so he looked carefully.

I saw the female infected person standing with her hands down and her head bowed. Her long straight black hair covered her cheeks. Through the black hair, she could vaguely see a pretty face.The female infected person's eyes were slightly closed, she seemed to be taking a nap, and she seemed to be enjoying the sunshine, her body was shaking slightly back and forth as if she was enjoying herself.

Vance tiptoed around with the ax in a large circle first to go behind the female infected person, and then he walked towards the female infected person step by step from behind.

The lawn is very soft, and every step of Vance is cushioned and muted by the soft grass, but Iger, who is watching from the side, has his heart in his throat. This kind of tension can only be felt by players who like to play stealth.

It seems that everyone overestimated the ability of the infected to perceive the survivors before. Vance has walked behind the female infected and even raised an axe, but the female infected still has no idea.

"Hello." Vance called out to the female infected person. The female infected person raised her head in a daze, and turned around with a cute expression. His face instantly became extremely hideous.

This was what Vance was waiting for. The ax hit the female infected person on the forehead, and the female infected person fell down like a piece of wood.

Father Locke came over. When Vance struggled to pull out the felling axe, Father Locke squatted down. He reached out and touched the forehead of the infected woman's body, and said softly, "Poor Bella, may you rest in peace."
