blood plague

Chapter 171
Nicholas walked quickly, and soon he came to a white single-family house with a front lawn and a garden not far away.

Standing in front of the door, Nicholas paused.

Too bad the key has been lost.

Just when Nicholas was wondering whether to kick or slam the door, he keenly noticed that the door seemed to be open, so he pushed the door lightly, and the door opened.

Afterwards, Nicholas took a deep breath and walked into the room.

The house had been destroyed by intruders beyond recognition. Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the unrecognizable state of affairs.

Closer to the nostalgia, I am even more timid. In fact, what I am afraid of is that things are right and people are wrong.

Now it's all changed, and it makes people feel more comfortable.

Nicholas walked to the center of the living room. After a while, he turned and looked at a wall.

This is a photo wall with framed photos all over the wall.

Nicholas walked over and slowly browsed through the photos one by one.

After each photo, Nicholas reached out and turned it over to cover the wall.

In the end, only the huge family portrait in the center remained on the photo wall. Nicholas stretched out his hand and gently wiped the dust on the glass, as if his fingertips penetrated the glass and touched their faces.

In this photo, there are a total of 23 people from three generations of the whole family, except for Nicholas.

It was Christmas three years ago. Because many things happened at that time, many extremely bad and unpleasant things happened, Nicholas gave up his original job in self-destruction, and used his hobby to start a freelance job.

That day, the whole family was preparing to take a group photo after dinner, but Nicholas locked himself in the room with a dirty face, excused that he had urgent work to do, so he did not participate.

At that time, Nicholas believed that it would be impossible to reconcile with some people in this life, and looking at it now, he was really right.

There will be no reconciliation in this lifetime.

After polishing everyone's faces, Nicholas gently turned the photo frame over and put it on the wall.

Go to the second floor.

On the second floor, this familiar small room was also messed up.Nicholas went straight to the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of dusty but clean socks and put them on, and then he changed another pair of shoes.

Finally feel better.

Nicholas's feet are wide and short, thick and large, so it is difficult to find suitable shoes.

With wide and short feet, he has strong explosive power. Nicholas has been the running back of the school football team since the 10th grade.

If you only look at Nicholas's appearance, many people will think that he is an Ivy League who has grown up by relying on his sports skills. In fact, everyone guessed wrong. He got into the Ivy League by relying on his family background.

A prominent family has many advantages, but there are also many troubles.

However, everything has become a thing of the past, and now Nicholas is a nobody.

In the work corner of the room, the digital camera was smashed, and the computer monitor was also broken. Nicholas squatted down to check, and the computer host was still intact, so he found a mountaineering travel bag to pack all the other equipment except the monitor. up.

When Nicholas returned to the pickup truck with his backpack on his back, Thomas had given up on prying the door.

Speaking of which, this job is a bit difficult. Prying the door requires a certain amount of strength and skill, and Thomas happens to have neither of these two items.

Thomas was sitting on the steps of the door. He saw Nicholas came back with a computer mainframe on his back, so he asked, "Hey. Why did you take such a thing?"

Nicholas said to Thomas: "This is my own computer."

"Ok?"

"It contains several enterprise-level hard drives." Nicholas explained to Thomas, "There are a lot of my collections in the hard drive."

"Favorites? Are there any movies?" Thomas seemed to understand something.

"Movies?" Nicholas said with a laugh, "Yes, man, I have a huge collection of movies, and they are all very good."

Upon hearing this, Thomas asked repeatedly, "How great is it?"

"Absolutely great." Nicholas said after giving Thomas a manly smile, "There are all kinds of types, from all over the world, and even downloaded from the dark web."

"Such a good thing, you should have taken it out earlier!" Thomas blamed Nicholas.

"Haha, I'm sorry." Nicholas said, "I was too busy when I passed by here last time, so I didn't have time to get it."

After the two returned to the pickup truck, Iger and Joanna had given up searching for supplies. They opened several houses in a row and were rummaged by people, and they were impatient.

Iger didn't ask Nicholas what the computer mainframe was. He had already communicated for the second noon just now, and now he decided to go back to the gas station to see how it was going.

When the pickup truck returned to the gas station, the chug of the generator was already heard from afar.

"Hey, Clyde, how's the situation?" Iger just got out of the car and shouted at Clyde.

Clyde shouted to Iger and the others: "Everything is running normally."

A logistics team refueled the fire engine at the top of the water tank of the fire engine. This big guy can hold 8m of fuel, which is 8000 liters, and it will take a long time to fill it up.

Iger overturned some food and drinks from the pickup truck and sent them over, and then said to Clyde and the internal staff: "You guys have lunch after changing shifts, and fire if there is any situation."

Now that they were about to leave, Iger decided to poke a hornet's nest.

There is an old saying that when you have a hammer in your hand, you want to smash everything you see.

Iger has such a mentality now. When he has a cannonball in his hand, he doesn't make a sound to see how it works.

Iger and Joanna got on the pickup truck, Nicholas and Thomas got on the minivan, and the convoy drove out of the gas station and headed for Pudo City.

Only a few hundred meters away from the black mass of infected people, Iger asked Joanna to stop the pickup truck.When Nicholas also parked, Iger turned over into the car, and then waved to them. After the two of them turned over to the pickup truck, Iger handed over two opened cans.

"Come on, have lunch first."

As the saying goes, the emperor never sends out hungry soldiers, no matter how urgent it is, wait until you have eaten.

However, both Nicholas and Thomas were very speechless.

Brother, since you want to eat, why didn't you eat at the gas station just now.

Are you having lunch here to give us some courage?

While Nicholas and Thomas were holding the cans and were neither standing nor sitting, Joanna also rolled into the carriage, which was a little crowded.

Joanna bent down to pick and choose for a long time, and struggled to give up a canned fruit and picked up a canned meat.

"Eat quickly, we will have to work later." Iger said to several people, sitting on the roof of the pickup truck with his back to the group of infected people, he didn't seem to feel any uneasiness.

"Captain, can we eat a little farther away from here?" Nicholas pointed to Iger's back.

Iger turned around and took a look, and he said to Nicholas: "Don't worry, it's far away, they can't get here in half an hour."

Well, since the captain said so, I can't be too timid.

Nicholas simply sat on the railing of the carriage and concentrated on eating his own food.

"Why don't you sit down?" Iger asked Thomas.

Thomas hesitated and said, "I like to eat standing up."

"Okay, up to you." Iger didn't say anything more.

This lunch was very efficient. In less than 3 minutes, both Nicholas and Thomas were finished.

So, Iger began to assign work to them.

The task of Nicholas and Thomas is to set up explosives, while Iger and Joanna lure monsters.When the pickup truck returned and honked its horn, the pair lit a kindling, a short piece of candle, and opened the bait before evacuating.

This time, Iger felt that the road could not be destroyed, so he asked to place the explosives under the roadbed, preferably at a safe distance from the road.

After Iger arranged the work assignment, Nicholas and Thomas jumped out of the pickup truck, and then the two of them went to the minivan and began to move fuel, oil drums and fertilizer.

You see, Iger is still more considerate of his subordinates and knows that he needs to do physical work, so let them eat first.

After there were only two people left in the carriage, it suddenly became much more spacious.

After Joanna chose the cans, she turned around and gestured to Iger, and Iger moved to the side, so Joanna also climbed onto the top of the pickup truck, sat side by side with Iger, and kicked and kicked her own. can.

Sunshine, breeze, a mechanical pickup truck, two boys and girls sitting side by side eating light food, if it weren't for the infected people behind them, it would be a very beautiful picture.
