Chapter 21 Contact with Survivors
The atmosphere present was awkward for a while, the three men were a little overwhelmed, but Joanna didn't seem to notice the inner feelings of the three men, maybe it was because she had been alone for a long time, she was gossiping about the people around her The various actions of a group of green tea whores.

Iger suddenly understood that Joanna had been hiding at home for the past few days. She had food and drink, and entertainment was good when there was electricity supply. It was like a small long vacation at home.

Joanna didn't change her mentality at all. For her, the world still remained the same as before.

Just as Joanna was talking about her third boyfriend, Iger interrupted her aloud. He said, "Sorry, Joanna. Some of the three of us are hungry. We have some food with us, but we may need some food." Work on it."

It's not that Iger deliberately wanted to change the topic, the gooey meal is really not very hungry.

If I lay down after eating mush, maybe I can go to sleep now, but after strenuous exercise, the mush is not enough at all.

Joanna apologized after hearing Iger's words, and she took a candle from the living room and turned it to the kitchen.Joanna put the candle on the top of the cupboard, then took out the pan, and then she turned the switch on the gas stove, and with a snap, a blue flame rose.

I didn't expect Joanna to have a liquefied gas tank at home, no wonder she didn't see how anxious she was when the power went out.

Although the United States is rich in natural resources and petrochemical resources, the price is cheap, but in the less densely populated areas, those energy companies will not spend a lot of money to build gas pipelines, even LPG refueling Stations are also not evenly distributed, at least not in this community.

Most people in the Gospel community use electric energy for cooking. Modern electrical appliances have greatly facilitated people’s lives, but their shortcomings are also obvious. Since yesterday’s blackout, all kinds of electrical appliances in the kitchen cannot be used. Even Sister Maria Forced to become the gooey chef.

Joanna brought out a box of eggs and a box of bacon from the refrigerator. She turned around and picked up a kitchen knife, cut a large piece of butter and put it on the pan. With a knock, the egg was cracked into the pot and the shell was thrown away, and then another egg was picked up and knocked into the pot.

After looking at the kitchen door for a while to confirm that he didn't need his help, Iger returned to the living room. He opened his backpack and rummaged through it.

After a while, Joanna came out with three plates, each with a piece of bacon and two fried eggs. As a courtesy, Iger handed Joanna a canned yellow peach.

After two days of eating mush, the hot bacon and eggs gave off an irresistible protein aroma. Iger swallowed, and then started the car with some impoliteness.

Seeing Father Locke and Vance praying before the meal, and Iger gobbling it alone with a fork, Joanna showed some disgust on her face, and her favor with this impolite boy dropped from 0 to negative.

Joanna suddenly remembered something. She took out the mobile phone clipped to her chest and looked at it, cursing involuntarily: "Damn! The mobile phone is turned off! I must have missed the time!"

After speaking, Joanna turned on the flashlight and ran upstairs.

Iger had finished eating quickly at this time. He saw Joanna running upstairs in a panic, and he followed.

"Hey, what did you miss?" Iger asked as he ran behind Joanna.

"Contact. I missed the contact time." Joanna quickly ran back to her bedroom. After she opened the curtains, she picked up the flashlight and flashed somewhere outside the window.

Iger also ran into Joanna's bedroom at this time. He saw Joanna flashing the flashlight in her hand three times in a row. After a while, there was a real light source outside the window and it would flash on here.

When Iger saw it, he ran to the stairs and shouted downstairs: "Father, Vance, come up and have a look, Joanna is in contact with other survivors."

Not long after, the three of them came to Joanna's bedroom, and saw a light source somewhere in the darkness, flickering regularly facing this side.

After looking at it for a few seconds, Vance said, "It looks like some kind of code."

Iger nodded, and said with certainty: "It's Morse code."

"Do you understand?" Vance turned his head to Iger and asked, he was a little surprised, this kid seemed to know a lot.

As a result, Iger replied directly with the next sentence: "I don't understand." Vance almost stumbled.

Iger explained: "Morse code is difficult to understand, and you can't remember it when you understand it. Everyone lives in the modern communication age. Who would learn this?"

Yes, who will learn this.

That's right, who is that person, and how did this happen.

Iger took Joanna's flashlight, pointed it at the light source that kept flashing Morse code, first pulled it from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, and then pulled it from the upper right corner to the lower left corner. Repeated this three times, the opposite light source finally disappeared. flashed.

Joanna didn't react, she asked Iger: "What is the message you sent him? Did you understand the message he sent just now?"

Iger shook his head. After turning off the flashlight, he returned it to Joanna, and then said angrily, "I understand what a fart. I gave him three ×. ×, ×, ×."

This... can be regarded as a kind of successful communication.

After the four of them returned to the living room, Joanna took back the three empty plates on the table, then she took off her high heels and curled up on the sofa, opened the canned fruit and ate small pieces of yellow peaches with a fork.

"I want to ask, what happened to the survivors I contacted just now?" Iger immediately asked a question that everyone was most concerned about after sitting down.

Joanna swallowed the yellow peach and said: "It's nothing, but on the first night, I saw someone switching on and off the lights in the bedroom in the distance, so I also added flashing lights so that everyone would know where to go." There are still living people.

After eating a yellow peach, Joanna put down the canned yellow peach and said: "In the whole community, we have 3 places with flashing lights, the whole community. After the power outage yesterday, we changed to flashlights.

Then……"

After a moment of hesitation, Joanna said: "Yesterday, two people wanted to escape at night, but they were blocked by a group of infected people not far from downstairs of my house."

Having said that, Joanna stopped, and suddenly, she covered her mouth and cried a few times, and then stopped hard.Joanna sniffed and said: "It's too miserable. It's too miserable after being caught by those infected people. Those monsters bit and killed two people bit by bit. Don't dare to show it."

Joanna suddenly turned to Iger and said, "Can I ask you one thing? If I am caught by those infected, please shoot a bullet to my head. I really don't want to die so badly, really of."

After speaking, Joanna finally couldn't hold back her tears and began to cry. Iger didn't nod, didn't make a sound, and didn't comfort her by saying "it's okay", and he didn't promise her "I will protect you".

In this world, there is no way to honor comfort and promises, and it is better to be silent than those empty lies.
