blood plague

Chapter 238 Critical Moments
Iger decided to start with the easy and then the difficult, and Fran was pulled out like a dead dog.

Once the effect of yesterday's medicine wore off, Fran felt double the pain. When he came out to hang out, he always had to pay it back.

Today, Toolman Fran wanted to lie down for a day, but Iger forcibly pulled him up from the bed in the field hospital.

"Fran, where is the ABCD team?" Iger asked Fran.

Fran resisted the dizziness and headache, and raised his hand to point out the location for Iger.

Iger took a look, oh, it's quite easy to distinguish, as expected, it is at the four corners of the I-shape outside the mall.

Although these buildings are not conjoined, they are all neat 3-story buildings.

This is not good news.

The higher the floor, the more space to avoid and maneuver in case of emergencies, and Iger's heart sank.

……

Erica was looking down from the restaurant on the eighth floor, and she saw three teams pulling away the group of infected people, and then two pickup trucks and fire trucks drove into the square, and a dozen people jumped out of the cars.

Erica carefully identified these armed men, but she didn't know any of them except Iger.

Since being trapped yesterday, everyone has scrapped the restaurant on the roof.

Only fresh ingredients are used in this high-end restaurant, and it is obvious that these ingredients are no longer fresh.But everyone found a lot of butter and jam cans used as seasonings.

The upstairs has been without water for a long time, and everyone found some drinks in stock, which can barely handle it for a while.

After a night of rest, everyone's mood has stabilized a lot now, but the situation is still not very good.

First of all, including Erica herself, almost everyone was injured.Nine of the team members were infected by the new blood disease, and one of the female team members was in very bad condition.

After Erica led the team to drag out the several team members who were submerged by the tide of infected people from the pile of corpses, among these team members, this female team member was in the worst situation.Her close-fitting gym clothes were torn into two pieces by the infected person, and her exposed body was covered with dense bite wounds.

In the restaurant, everyone washed her wound with the only clean water they brought with them to prevent her from getting more infections.But since last night, the female team member has been having a fever, and gradually began to lose consciousness.

Erica fed her several sedatives, which made her fall asleep.

Many team members have always believed that the Gospel team has a special medicine that can cure the blood plague. The board of directors has refuted rumors on this point many times, but everyone still believes that there is.

Today, the cruel truth may disappoint them.

Looking at the female team members who were still making hoo-hoo noises in their throats in a coma, Erica knew that her time was running out.

After handing her over to other team members to take care of, Erica walked to the huge glass window. Downstairs were thousands of infected people who made one's scalp tingle just looking at it.

Looking at the densely packed infected people below, Erica felt a little desperate.My own team can't last that long.

Unexpectedly, Iger didn't even think of fighting, he directly sent a car to pull away all the infected people.

Erica stared intently at the rescue team downstairs. She didn't know what to do, if Iger could break through the encirclement and get here, she really didn't know how to explain to Iger.

Erica never thought that Bill would take the initiative to cut off the queen. In Erica's perception, Bill was the one who would use the lives of his subordinates to pave the way for himself.

As a result, at the most critical moment, Bill led people madly and launched a counter-charge towards the infected. Erica could only watch, but she was helpless.

Once the fire gate is lowered, it cannot be raised manually, and the entire floor is the same as above and below, and there is no such thing as blocking only a small area.

In the end, Erica watched Bill and the infected people disappear from her field of vision.

Rescuers are starting to clear Team A's stronghold.As the commander, Erica naturally knows the positions of the four teams.

The idea of ​​establishing strongholds at the four corners of the I-shaped building complex is very good, but it doesn't seem to be very effective now.

The four corner strongholds can block a small number of incoming infected people, but the tide of infected people like yesterday is simply not something that my team can contend with.

Sure enough, it's still too aggressive. After expanding the safety zone, at least clean up the adjacent streets and then clean up the shopping malls.

That's what Nicholas suggested. He imitated Iger's ideas, but Erica and Bill rejected this suggestion, thinking it was too conservative.

Nicholas led the team in the stronghold downstairs, and Iger commented on his high growth potential.

Thinking of this, Erica held back a sigh, she really didn't know how to face Iger.

At this time, a field team member came over, and he said to Erica: "Sir Erica, Ruona..."

Rona's time has come.

"Okay, I see." Erica turned around and said to the field team member, "I'll take care of it myself."

"Ah, no." The field team member hurriedly said to Erica, "Ruona is awake."

When Erica heard this, she quickly walked over.

After a simple inspection and questioning, the female team member who walked around the gate of hell really came to her senses. She told Erica that her infection rate had gradually dropped from 99% to 91% now.

Erica stayed there, blinking in surprise, but said nothing.

Is this a coincidence, or can the tranquilizer really cure the blood plague?
Erica recalled, it seemed that the Gospel team used tranquilizers to deal with the blood plague, and it never failed.

It must be reported, it may be an astonishing discovery.

……

This row of houses was not built at the same time, so although it seems to be a neat row, there are no shared stairs between them.

The first floor is a clothing store. All the hangers in the store have been knocked down to the ground, and the empty storefront can be seen at a glance.

Iger led the team carefully up the stairs to the second floor, which is the most risky area.

The second floor is a fast food restaurant. Iger gently opened the door, raised his MP5 and aimed at the infected people who were waiting in the store.

"Thug chug."

With several consecutive precise bursts, Iger killed all the infected people.

The area of ​​the fast food restaurant is small, the hall and the kitchen area can be seen at a glance, only the last space needs to be explored.

A field member walks cautiously toward the toilet with a shotgun in hand.

The toilets of fast food restaurants are very small, except for a small sink, there is only one toilet seat inside.

"Hi, is anyone there?" the field crew shouted into the closed toilet.

No movement.

He reached out and pushed, and the door was locked from the inside.

Infected people will not lock the door, there are people inside, or people have entered.

"Dong dong dong." The field team knocked on the door, and he shouted, "Is anyone there?" Then he listened for a while, but there was still no movement.

Iger had already searched the third floor and came down.

The third floor is a well-decorated cafe. The two wooden doors of the cafe are closed tightly. Location of frosted glass.

Iger got into the cafe through the big hole, and then he raised his gun and killed several infected people waiting in the cafe.

After a while, Iger found the wreckage of the field team in the compartment.

Just seeing these wreckages, Iger couldn't even tell whether it belonged to one person, two people, or three people.

Iger looked around, the cafe was surrounded by glass, and there were rows of seats under the glass windows, with only a few mysterious booths in the middle.

The view here is very good, but there is no danger to defend against the raids of the infected.

Iger returned to the second floor and saw that the field team member was still guarding the toilet door, so he asked, "What's going on?"

"The door is locked from the inside," said the field team member.

"Dong dong dong." Iger raised his hand and slammed the door several times with his fist, but the door remained motionless.

"Break the door." Iger said to the field team.

After the male field team member heard Iger's words, he put away his shotgun and took two steps back, then rushed and kicked on the wooden door.

"Ouch."

There was a scream from the field team.

Before Iger could ask a question, the field team member said with a bitter face, "I sprained my ankle."

"..."

I told you to break down the door with a gun, but you kicked it with your feet.

Kicking the door is a technical job. Iger thought he was an expert when he saw him lift his leg.

As a result, he didn't understand anything.

"Stand back and give me the gun." Iger said to the unlucky guy.

Just as Iger raised his shotgun to fire at the door's hinges, the wooden door creaked open a crack.

Iger raised his gun to aim in an instant, then tapped the door lightly with his left foot, and pushed the door open.

There was a man sitting on the toilet in the door, a man, a man Iger knew.

"Randy." As soon as Iger saw that it was Randy, he put away the gun in his hand.

"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it." When Randy saw Iger, he dropped the steel spear in his hand and stammered.

"I'm here to save you, you're safe." Iger said to Randy.

Randy didn't dare to come out, he said in a crying voice: "Captain, I really didn't mean it, I swear!"

Iger cast a glance back, and the fieldman stepped forward and pulled Randy out of the toilet.

From the looks of it, Randy's sanity seems to be in a semi-collapsed state, and his consciousness is not very clear.

After returning to the fire truck downstairs to rest for a while, Randy's mind seemed to recover a lot.

Then, as soon as Iger asked a few words, Randy stuttered and told the whole thing.

That day everyone was originally stationed on the third floor, but a scream sounded, and all three members of Team A were recruited.When they staggered downstairs, infected people swarmed from all directions almost filled the entire block.

To make matters worse, the infected have blocked all the way out, and their plan to break out to the car has failed.

Countless infected people attacked them with claws and claws a few meters behind them, and the three had to flee upstairs. When they reached the second floor, Randy turned around and rushed into the fast food restaurant.

When stationed in this small building, Team A had just taken over here, and Randy knew that there was a toilet here.

Due to the limited space, the toilets of fast food restaurants must be very soundproof and closed. Otherwise, once someone gets a queen size, the customers who are eating next to them will not be able to run away.

In order to enhance the sound insulation effect, the wooden doors of the toilet are usually very thick, so the toilet of the fast food restaurant is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The weapon configuration of Team A is a steel knife, a steel spear, and a shotgun, which is also the standard squad configuration of the Joint Field Service Team.

After Randy rushed into the toilet, he first locked the toilet door, then inserted the steel spear in his hand diagonally in front of the door from top to bottom, then sat on the toilet, raised his feet and kicked the spear vigorously, It will kill the toilet door.

At this moment, there was a violent knocking sound outside the door, and after a while, there were bursts of gunshots upstairs.

After a while, the chaotic gunshots disappeared. Attracted by the sound, the knocking outside the door weakened a lot, but it still rang out every now and then.

Randy was biting his own clothes, and he sat on the toilet with his back against the tank, pushing the steel spear with all his might.

I don't know how long it took, the infected person seemed to be tired of knocking, and the knocking sound outside the door disappeared.Only then did Randy dare to gently put down his numb feet, and his back was also swollen and painful.

How to do?I'm stuck in the toilet.

At this moment, Randy heard gunshots in the distance, followed by Iger's call, which ignited the hope in his heart.

Just now, when Randy heard the knock on the door and was about to remove the steel spear, he suddenly remembered the first military rule that Iger set for the reclamation group: Do not betray your companions.

Randy is the captain of Team A, he left his two companions to escape alone.

Although the toilet is not big, it is not impossible to fit three people.

But at that time, Randy's mind went blank, and he subconsciously left the two team members and ran in alone.

When Randy talked about this, he cried and begged, he really didn't mean it.

After listening to Randy's narration, Iger was silent for a while, and then he said to Randy who was slumped on the ground: "Return to the team immediately. After returning to the base camp, I will sue you for dereliction of duty."

Looking at Randy, Iger was in a complicated mood. He suddenly thought of Father Locke's words: "No one's life is more precious than others', including our own."
